Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Awards were being given out in Hollywood on Sunday night, but the | :00:10. | :00:22. | |
BBC's Oscar coverage received criticism from some viewers. And how | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
did this hoax to get on the Victoria Derbyshire show with a tale of | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
misbehaviour on a flighty cleaned the travelling on? -- flight he | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
claimed to be. It was lights, camera and action on | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Monday morning as the public work of the details of the 88 Academy Awards | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
ceremony, held the night before in Los Angeles. And the Oscar goes | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
to... Breakfast featured several appearances from our entertainment | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
correspondent in Hollywood and a variety of guests at a studio | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
discussion back home. We will come back to the films in a moment. The | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
news channel continued the focused, with the awards leading that | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
bulletin. Why was the first six minutes dedicated to the very | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
shallow reporting of the Oscars? They should be reported but not as | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
head of the news! At 9:30am there was a half-hour Oscars special, with | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
discussion of the films and the frocks. There is much more on the | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
BBC News website about all of that, the fashion, the films, the winners | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
and the losers. There was indeed much more about all of that on the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
BBC News website and the BBC News Channel and BBC News Channel and BBC | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
One bulletins continued to feature the subject of the day. Was all this | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
attention justified? Opinion was divided, with one writing: | :01:50. | :02:12. | |
But that was a minority view among those who contacted us. More typical | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
was this: so what place with the Oscars or any | :02:16. | :02:58. | |
entertainment story have? And in the lead up, should editors listen | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
Donald -- think about this coverage, when he argued that: | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
Our overseas, on my operations editor joins me now. There are | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
claims of too much soft news at the expense of this kind of core mission | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
of use. A lot of our viewers complained to Newswatch this week, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
feeling the same about seeing the Oscars coverage. I think it is fair | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
to say that the Oscars is not in that part of the debate. It is one | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
of the biggest entertainment stories of the year. It attracts a lot of | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
attention and has people talking here and around the world and this | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
year it was a very strong story. Successful Leonardo DiCaprio after | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
many years. And also the diversity debate, which wasn't played out on | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
the fringes of the Oscars but on the very floor of the reader, with Chris | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Roc making so many comments. -- of the arena, with Chric Rock. So it | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
was a strong story and we had it at different times through the day. You | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
focused on the morning, where we know there was a big audience | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
interest in finding out what happened. So the web story we wrote | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
about that was the most read news story on the site in a month of | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
February around the world. So at that point there was a lot of | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
prominence for the Oscars because we were bringing people up to speed | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
about a story that clearly people were interested in. As the day | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
progressed it moved down the running order is. At the 1pm and 6pm news | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
bulletins it was the end items. So we did approach it in different | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
ways, but we did that partly because of the different ways people consume | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
the news. In terms of the amount of airtime, especially the run-up to | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
it, people felt there was a lot of standing around, looking at a red | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
carpet and commenting on peoples dresses. Is that the kind of news | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
the BBC News Channel should be doing? I think if they're talking | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
about it in the morning, there was a short period in the morning where | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
stars are working the red carpet before and some of that afterwards, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
but that's where we got the fantastic interview with one of | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Britain's latest actors. That was the breaking news, reaction element. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Actually things finished pretty quickly. We did our Oscars special | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
at 9:30am on BBC News Because that was a good time to wrap it up. We | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
moved on during the day to more head on issues of diversity and some of | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the more serious stories to come out of the event. The morning after it | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
is very big in Breakfast news. 9am, when the news channel bulletin: gets | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
going, it is the first six minutes. Even there was the half-hour special | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to come, can you see why viewers thought, why did they need to be six | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
minutes at the top of the 9am bulletin as well? That was the only | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
our in the hole daywear the Oscars was believed story on the news | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
channel during the day. -- only time in the whole day wear. The news | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
channel went on to lead with the trouble on the Greece-Macedonia | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
border. We knew that was the pick point where people wanted to catch | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
up on the Oscar story and we did it very quickly and to be honest at the | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
same length we do any lead story. A video report and a live | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
correspondent. I don't think it was out of kilter. We just wanted to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
allow people to catch up on the news at that point and then they got | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
other stories before we came back to it at half past nine. Thanks so | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
much. Let us know your thoughts on the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
role of entertainment stories, or on any aspect of BBC News. Details of | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
how to contact us at the end of the programme. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Before that, two stories early in the week dealt with migrants in | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
different parts of Europe and both attracted the attention of Newswatch | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
viewers. Monday's News at ten the AMP reported on a confrontation | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
between police and migrants between the border at Greece and Macedonia | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
and before that clashes as police moved into the camp at Calais. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
What was meant to be a gentle addiction through encouragement and | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
information became our blood exchange of tear gas and frocks, | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
hurled at police. -- rocks. Then the battle was under way again. A second | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
fire in a place someone yesterday called time. Water cannon brought in | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
not for the fire but for the arsonists and then tear gas for | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
anyone still standing nearby. This is the view from the Macedonian | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
side. A border guard fires teargas directly at the migrants. On the | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
other side of the fence, the man in the front of the picture in the blue | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
jacket is hit by that canister. There's panic as the toxic gas | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
starts spreading. A boy staggers from the crush retching. Others | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
collapse with their eyes and lungs burning. Today, on the European | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
border, children were tear gassed. Merlin from Gloucester wrote in | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
about that last piece: Brenda Taylor was more worried about | :08:15. | :08:53. | |
the images. And we received this telephone | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
message. I was watching the news on the 29th of February to see the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
coverage of the clearance of the camps in France. It almost seemed | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
like it was only one side. It was criticising the police for the way | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
they acted, firing tear gas, it just seemed like it was about the police | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
or the time but they didn't go on about the other side. The way they | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
were acting, The Rolling Stones. If you are going to report the news, | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
don't report the buyers. -- throwing stones. We put that to BBC News and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
they told us: finally, the strange tale of the | :09:31. | :10:04. | |
stag party, Ryanair flight and the prankster. Last week the flight was | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
after a group of 12 men became drunk, rowdy and violence, with | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
passengers saying one of them exposed himself. BBC News reported | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
the story and invited anyone on the plane to come forward with | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
information. One man did so and after a telephone conversation with | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
the journalist was invited on to the Victoria Derbyshire show to describe | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
what happened. It was a crazy flight. They were drunk from the get | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
go. About 5-10 minutes into the flight when we were in the air one | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
of these stag members stalled the trousers. So one of them was exposed | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
and he stood up and he was being boisterous, he was naked from the | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
waist down. The problem, Daria Stevas later revealed that he had | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
not been on the plane and had made up his entire testimony as a hoax. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
-- Darius Davis. On a blog, the man, who was a comedian, said at no point | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
did you have to provide proof that he was on the flight, expressing | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
surprise that lazy journalism allowed him on the BBC News. A | :11:07. | :11:07. | |

Ice a big concern however where we've had showers, | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
