Now it is time for a Newswatch. Welcome to Newswatch. | :00:11. | :00:36. | |
Does he need to be in TF? -- Kiev. And some viewers have already heard | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
enough about Oscar Pistorius. It has been a week where the | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
impartiality of the BBC in reporting on Ukraine has been lost according | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
to some viewers. There has been a feeling that there | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
has been a simplistic portrayal of Russia as the baddies and the West | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
as the goodies. presence of Hugh Edwards in Kiev. | :01:05. | :01:48. | |
First we are going to go to Downing Street... | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
This gave rise to scores of complaints. | :01:54. | :02:38. | |
invitation to discuss this. Instead they gave this statement. | :02:39. | :03:13. | |
was your objection? The same as has been said earlier. Why parachute in | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
a high-profile presenter when four weeks we have been seeing all the | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
information from Kiev from reporters on the ground? It seems like a waste | :03:27. | :03:41. | |
of money and resources. In the BBC statement they say that he gave | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
extra insight. Where that was I do not know. I watched him on the | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
prime-time news. I did not watch the other programmes. Obviously those | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
programmes go out anyway. Surely they have teams doing that work | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
every day of the week. Why did we need ten parachuted in? | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
One argument I can imagine newsmakers giving is that if you | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
look at other news organisations, they sent anchors out to Kiev. They | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
may well think it is a statement to the audience that this is an | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
important story. We audience understand a lot of | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
things. We do not have too been led by the nose to look at a news | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
programme. We watch it. We take it in. We do not need someone with a | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
high profile for two days only to tell us that this is a high-profile | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
story. The reporters already on the ground in Kiev would have had a huge | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
workload. Can you see the case for additional support? When I watched | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
the news programmes I was watching I did not see him relieving pressure | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
on those guys, particularly the guy reporting on the Ukrainian navy. | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
What would your message be to the BBC bosses about this? There is no | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
need to send someone to an area to cover a link when they can do that | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
quite adequately from London with the same people, saving themselves a | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
lot of money. The BBC has to save ?100 million. Spending money sending | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
teams for two days around the world does not make any sense to me. Thank | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
you so much. Let us know your thoughts about | :05:54. | :06:10. | |
that. Let us know your thoughts indeed about any aspect of BBC News. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
You have been giving us your thoughts on the trial of Oscar | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Pistorius. And also on the Academy awards. | :06:21. | :06:35. | |
We have got lots of the stars arriving. Paul McCartney. Everyone | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
has been talking about British success. Gravity taking the lion 's | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
share of the awards. One viewer was not swept up in all | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
the excitement. court case that has prominently | :06:58. | :07:44. | |
featured on BBC news all week. We can now see live inside the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
courtroom. No close-ups of Oscar Pistorius are allowed. How do you | :07:51. | :08:04. | |
plead? Not guilty. Through in-depth analysis and live | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
coverage on the BBC website... And you can catch up on the first day of | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
the trial at 7:30pm... Before the first morning was over we | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
had been contacted by a viewer. came rolling in. | :08:26. | :09:00. | |
That may well be a topic we return to. In the meantime: Captions. | :09:01. | :09:24. | |
Tristram Hunt 's job is to be open and honest. The difference between | :09:25. | :09:41. | |
the parties is clear. Labour 's policy has yet to be formulated. | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
Baroness Morris may have been described as education secretary. | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
But it was the second caption that cot the attention of this pure. -- | :09:57. | :10:08. | |
that got the attention of this viewer. | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
Please let us know if you spot any own goals. You may even end up | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
featuring on the programme. Top temperature to was 17 degrees in | :10:21. | :11:00. | |
central London. I cold the across Scotland with snow showers. Milder | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
air is on its way for all of us over the weekend. | :11:09. | :11:11. |
