countries are refusing to grant them asylum. At 10pm Fiona Bruce will be | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
here with a round-up of the news today, but first it is time for | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Newswatch. Hello and welcome to Newswatch with | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
me Samira Ahmed. The tables have turned as Donald Trump accuses the | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
media of spreading untruths about him. It is all fake news, it is | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
funny stuff, it did not happen. If that is the case, why is BBC News | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
giving so much time to the allegations about the | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
President-elect? Anything Donald Trump says Ordaz has | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
been intensely scrutinised in the build-up to his inauguration next | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
week. And when see all eyes were on his first press conference since the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
election and it did not disappoint. Take a moment when a reporter tried | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
to ask a question. Go ahead. Not you. Your organisation is terrible. | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
Go ahead. The quiet. The quiet. Do not be rigged. Do not be rude. I am | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
not going to give you a question. You are a fake news. Could you state | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
categorically... After that attack on CNN as a fake news agency, would | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
other correspondence be brave enough to raise their hands. Go ahead. As | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
far as we understand the intelligence community... I am from | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
BBC News that is another beauty. If there was | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
more than a hint of sarcasm in that description, the President-elect | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
would not have got the BBC's coverage was beautiful. The dossier | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
they were investigating was an open secret. Journalists had been working | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
on it for months. It is a tale of sordid sexual escapades, Russian STB | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
be announced an money been funnelled to the charm campaign. The question | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
is whether it is fact, part fact, pulp fiction. It is not no if the | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
rumours I've fact or fiction, but the BBC heard last year about a | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
blackmail tape. But why did they not broadcast that news? | :02:42. | :03:02. | |
Are those were concerned about the extent the allegations. -- another | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
person was concerned. It was the website bugs feed that | :03:10. | :03:41. | |
published the 35 page dossier on fool on Tuesday evening. While it | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
was impossible for the BBC to ignore it, some people felt that dominated | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
the BBC's coverage. The editor of the BBC's news at six | :03:51. | :04:25. | |
and ten is poll Royal who's me now. It has been a big revelation that | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
the BBC was aware of a black one tape. -- blackmail tape. Why did the | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
BBC decide not to >> reporter-macBBC became aware | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
became aware of the existence of this dossier and these potential | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
allegations. We have robust editorial processes that we go | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
through in terms of verification and trying to substantiate the | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
allegations. We could not and they were unproven so we did not publish | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
them. As they saw this week, but Mike decided to publish the dossier | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
and they had their own editorial rationale in case for that. | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
Given that these allegations are not verified, should the BBC be | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
reporting on them at all? What happened on Tuesday became a story | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
and we were very careful on Wednesday to cover the story that | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
was playing out, but at the same time to be quite general about the | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
unproven allegations. We were careful about that. Once on US | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
networks started reporting the story, Donald Trump treated about | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
that overnight. There was a story on Wednesday morning that we had to | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
cover and that was obviously the main part of his news conference | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
that afternoon. It at the same time, we were very careful. One of the | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
correspondent said that in fairness to Donald Trump we're not going into | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
detail about the allegations. If they turn out to be false, will the | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
BBC be in a difficult situation? I don't think we will be because of | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
the care we took on Wednesday and after that to make sure that we were | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
not recirculating lots of detail about something that is unproven. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
I'm happy and I think we will be in a good place. There are numerous | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
serious allegations being discussed about President-elect Trump's links | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
to rush hour. How will the BBC report on that? We will test what is | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
true and what can be substantiated, what is worthy of further | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
investigation and analysis, so we have a tried and tested process for | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
that built up three years and decades. Is that related to sources | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
and how many routes were since you have? As you know there are two | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
sources on all BBC stories. We're sticking to our editorial guidance | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
in this unique period of covering news. We heard there is saying that | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
there were different issues raised at the news conference and yet the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
only one that really got any attention was the issue about the | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
blackmail tape and fake news. That was the main thing in the news | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
conference, but I would accept there were other things that were covered | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
as well. In the 6pm news, the main coverage was around the dossier and | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
the allegations but we did also talk about the questions around Donald | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Trump's business interests and what he's doing with those. Across BBC | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
News, on the news channel, on the website, on the radio, other parts | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
of the story and the business side of Donald Trump was covered as well. | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
It felt watching that news conference that this is a very | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
different kind of experience for reporters. Journalists were chanting | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
conduct business as usual and asking questions. It feels like the BBC | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
will have to rethink in a different way how it deals with what the new | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
president says. Donald Trump, for example, in one street could appear | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
to change US policy towards China or nuclear weapons and there is no | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
detail, it is not done any conventional way in terms of a news | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
conference policy document, so that is difficult staff. -- in one feet. | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
But in one week he will be presidents we have to treat this | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
stuff seriously, examine it properly, and then decide whether we | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
developed the coverage are not. To quote Donald Trump, this issue is | :09:05. | :09:18. | |
number one. Send us your thoughts on the coverage of Donald Trump or any | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
aspect of BBC News. Details of how to contact us at the end of the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
programme. Someone your comments this week, that kicked off the | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
annual debate to the extent that winter weather is newsworthy and the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
deployment of reporters to affected areas. Friday morning sun to | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
reporters braving the elements. They snow has died down and it has been a | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
relatively calm morning. That is good news because it means that the | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
high wind that was predicted have not materialised and the high tide | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
here has passed without event. We had three hours of snow last night | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
18 6pm and 9pm. I came down very heavily and some of it has stuck. | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
Someone has written help in the snow, that is a sign of how | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
treacherous conditions will be this morning. It is not just the snow but | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
it is also the ice on the pavement, it can be slippy and difficult | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
conditions on the roads here. Some people thought that a mountain was | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
being made out of a mole hill. Thank you for your comments this | :10:32. | :11:24. | |
week. If you want to share your opinions appear on the programmes | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
