First, Newswatch. Hello and welcome to Newswatch | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
with me, Samira Ahmed. Coming up on this programme: Awards | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
were being given out in Hollywood on Sunday night, but the BBC's Oscar | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
coverage receives brickbats, And how did this hoaxster get | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
on The Victoria Derbyshire Show with a tale of misbehaviour | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
on a flight he claimed It was lights, camera, | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
action for BBC News on Monday morning as the public woke up | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
to details of the 88th Academy Awards ceremony, | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
held the night before in Los Breakfast featured several | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
appearances of entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
in Hollywood, with a variety of guests and a studio | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
discussion back home. We will come back to | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
the films in a minute. The News Channel continued | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
the Oscars coverage at nine o'clock with the Academy Awards | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
leading its bulletin, to the disgruntlement | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
of this viewer. Why was the first six minutes | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
of the News Channel dedicated to the very shallow | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
reporting of the Oscars? Yes, they should be reported at not | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
as head of the news. At 9:30am there followed a 30 minute | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Oscar special with discussion And there is much more on the BBC | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
News website about all of that, about the fashion, the films, | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
the winners and losers. There was indeed much more | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
about all of that on the BBC News website and the News Channel | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
and BBC One bulletins continued to feature the subject | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
throughout the day, Opinion was divided with Paddy Kelly | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
writing: I thought the coverage But there was a minority view among | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
those who contacted us, more typical was this | :02:57. | :03:22. | |
from Iain Glen. So, what place should the Oscars | :03:23. | :03:45. | |
are any entertainment story have And in the lead up to the renewal | :03:46. | :04:00. | |
of the Royal Charter, should editors listen | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
to Culture Secretary John Whittingdale, who may have been | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
thinking of coverage of this kind when he argued this week | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
that the soft news element of the BBC online services | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
is of limited public value. Sam Taylor oversees BBC News's UK | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
onkline operation and the BBC Sam, John Whittingdale was singling | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
out online for too much soft news, as he saw it, about celebrities | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
at the expense of this kind of core mission of news being | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
about information and public value. A lot of our viewers complaining | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
to Newswatch this week seemed to feel the same after seeing | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
the Oscars coverage. I think it is fair to say, isn't it, | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
that the Oscars is not in that part It is one of the biggest | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
entertainment stories of the year. It is obviously got people talking | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
here and around the world and this year it was a very strong story - | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
the success of Leonardo DiCaprio after many years trying to get | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
an Oscar, British success, but also this diversity debate, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
which was not played out on the fringes of the Oscars, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
it was played out on the very floor of the arena with Chris Rock | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
making so many comments. It was a story, I think | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
a very strong story, but I think the important thing | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
to point out is that we handled it in different ways during | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
the course of the day. Well, that is the point | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
where we know there was a very big audience interest in finding out | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
what had happened in the event which had happened | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
while people were asleep. So, the web story we wrote | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
about that was the most read news story on the site in the month | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
of February around the world. News Channel and Breakfast audiences | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
were higher than average. So, at that point there was a lot | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
of prominance with the Oscars because we were bringing people up | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
to speed about a story that clearly As the day progressed, | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
of course, it moved down our running orders on the One and Six news | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
on BBC One it was the end item of the programme bringing people up | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
to speed on a big entertainment So, we did approach it in different | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
ways, but we did that partly because of the different ways that | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
people consume the news. In terms of the amount of airtime, | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
though, particularly in the run-up to it as much as after, | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
people felt there was an awful lot of standing around looking at a red | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
carpet and commenting I mean, is that the kind of news | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
that the BBC News Channel Is that not for other | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
entertainment channels to do? I think if you are talking | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
about the element in the morning, there was a very short period really | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
in the morning where stars are working the red carpet before | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
and then some of that afterwards, but that's where we got a fantastic | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
interview on Breakfast with Mark Rylance, one of Britain's | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
greatest actors who had just That was the breaking | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
news reaction element. Of course, things | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
finished pretty quickly. We did our Oscars special at 9.30am | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
on the News Channel and BBC world News because things had wrapped up, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
it was a good point for us to sum everything up, do the story | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
and move on, which we did. We actually moved on during the day | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
to look more head on the issues of diversity and some of the more | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
serious news stories to come out The morning after, then, | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
it is very big in breakfast News. Nine o'clock, when the News Channel | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
bulletin gets going, Given that there was the half-hour | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
special to come at 9.30am, can you see why viewers thought why | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
did it need to be six minutes at the top of the nine | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
o'clock bulletin, as well? I think it is worth saying that | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
that is the only hour in the whole day where the Oscars was the lead | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
story on the News Channel Derbyshire and Breakfast lead | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
on the story about NHS recruitment. The News Channel went on to lead | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
on the trouble at the Nine o'clock is a very short | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
catch-up news bulletin. We felt it was the peak point | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
for people who are interested in catching up on the Oscars story | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
could catch up on it and we just did To be honest, we did it at the same | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
length we do for any lead story - the video report and a live | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
with a correspondent and trailled I don't think it was out of kilter, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
we actually just wanted to allow people to catch up on the news | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
at that point and then we brought some other stories before | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
we came to it at 9.30am. Please, let us know your thoughts | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
on the role of entertainment stories, or on any aspect of BBC | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
News. Details of how to contact us | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
at the end of the programme. Before that, two stories | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
in the early part of the week dealt with migrants in different parts | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
of Europe and both attracted Monday's News at Ten reported | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
on a confrontation between police and migrants near the border | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
between Greece and Macedonia and, before that, clashes as demolition | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
teams moved into the camp in Calais What was meant to be a gentle | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
eviction through encouragement and information became a blunt | :08:13. | :08:22. | |
exchange of tear gas and rocks By dusk, the battle | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
was underway again. A second fire in the place someone | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
yesterday called home. The water cannon brought | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
in not for the fire, but for the arsonists, | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
and then tear gas for anyone This is the view from | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
the Macedonian side. A border guard fires tear gas | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
directly at the migrants. On the other side of the fence, | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the man in the front of the picture in the blue jacket is | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
hit by that canister. There is panic as the toxic | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
gas start spreading. A boy staggers from the crush | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
retching, others collapse Today, on a European border, | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
children were tear-gassed. Merlin Graham-Paulton | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
from Gloucester wrote Brenda Taylor was more concerned | :09:19. | :09:19. | |
about the coverage of Calais, And we received this telephone | :09:20. | :09:59. | |
message on a similar theme. I was watching the news on 29th | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
February to see the coverage of the clearance of | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
the camps in France. It is always seems like | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
it is on the one side. They were criticising the police | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
and how they were acting, It just seemed to be | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
on to the police all the time, but they did not go | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
on about the other side, the way they were acting, throwing | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
stones at the police and everything. If you are going to report the news, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
don't report it with bias, Well, we put those points to BBC | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
News and they told us: Finally, the strange | :10:35. | :11:02. | |
tale of the stag party, the Ryanair flight, | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
and the prankster. Last Friday, a flight between Luton | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
and Bratislava was diverted after a group of 12 men became | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
drunk, rowdy and violent, with passengers saying one | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
of them exposed himself. BBC News reported the story | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
and invited anyone on the plane Darius Davis did so and after | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
a telephone conversation with a journalist was invited | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
onto The Victoria Derbyshire Show About ten minutes into the flight, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
when we were in the air, one of the stag members stole | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
the trousers, so one of them was exposed and he stood up | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
and he was being boisterous. Darius Davis later revealed | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
that he had not actually been on the plane and had made | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
up his entire testimony as a hoax. In a blog, Davis, who is a comedian, | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
claimed that at no point did the BBC demand to see proof | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
that he was on board the flight, expressing his surprise that, | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
