will push for a Supreme Court judge was opposed to abortion. At 10pm, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Fiona Bruce will be here with a full round-up of judo's news. First of | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
all, it is news watch. Hello and welcome to news watch. It | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
has been a long week in US politics but did BBC News go overboard and | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
how it covered Donald Trump's inauguration and his first few days | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
as president? And was it in the UK's public interest to focus in news | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
bulletins on the failure of a Trident missile test last year? | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
It has been a busy and controversial first week in office for President | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Trump and we have heard plenty about it on BBC News. It all started, of | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
course, in Washington, DC. I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear that I | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States... | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
And will do the best of my ability. And we'll do the best of my | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
ability... Preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
United States. Before and after he took the oath of office, there were | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
hours of coverage on many channels, with BBC One and BBC News showing | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
exactly the same coverage, while BBC Parliament worship -- were showing | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
the same live feed but without the BBC commentary. It was all too much | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
for these two viewers who wrote: It was all too much | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
for these two viewers who Nick Bishop had also had enough, | :01:55. | :02:08. | |
e-mailing: we put those points to BBC News and | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
they told since last Friday, we have had | :02:12. | :02:52. | |
further complaints about the prominent in news headlines of the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
activities and pronouncements of the new president. The White House is | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
accused of telling falsehoods in a battle with the media about | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
President Trump's inauguration. The president opened his first full week | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
in office by signing an order withdrawing the US from a trade | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
agreement with Pacific Rim countries. He warned he will | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
penalise countries who move jobs overseas. More executive orders | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
signed by President Trump. This time, he revives plans to build two | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
oil pipelines despite environmental concerns. He promised a wall and now | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
he says he will build it within months. Stepping down for the first | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
time from oh -- from apples one, President Trump looks forward to his | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
meeting with Prime Minister made. I will have to handle it myself. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Speaking last night, the Prime Minister said again -- the president | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
said again he is determined to build a wall between the US and Mexico and | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
suggested taxing them to pay for it. So, has the BBC been getting carried | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
away with the new presidency? Victoria Wells thinks so. | :04:09. | :04:39. | |
Meanwhile, to read the Reilly wrote to us on Monday after she had | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
settled down to watch a report on the Supreme Court's judgment on | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
Brexit. Do let us know your thoughts on the | :04:54. | :05:19. | |
BBC's coverage of Donald Trump's presidency or any aspect of BBC | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
News. Details of how to contact us coming up at the end of the | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
programme. Now for your other concerns this week, starting with | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
reports that an unarmed missile went off-course last June. Andrew Marr | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
asked the Prime Minister about that many times. Did you know that | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
misfire had occurred when he made the speech? I have absolute faith in | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
our missiles. What are was talking about at the time was whether or not | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
we should renew our Trident and whether or not we should have an | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
independent nuclear deterrent in future. I think we should defend our | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
country. I think we should play our way in Nato with an independent -- | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
with a nuclear deterrent. This is a very serious incident. Did you know | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
about it when you told the House of Commons? The issue we were talking | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
about in the House of Commons was very serious. The story was picked | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
up in bulletins over the next couple of days but some viewers thought the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
concentration on it was ill-advised. We have been getting regular | :06:29. | :07:12. | |
complaints and news watch about the way BBC News online words some of | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
its headlines in tweets and on the website. Another example came this | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
week. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled that Parliament must | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
vote on whether the government can start the process of leaving the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
European Union. One of the campaigners who brought the case was | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Gina Miller, who has been subjected to a number of violent threats | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
online and that prompted BBC News to put a tweet out asking if she was | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
the most hated woman in the UK? It linked to a discussion on that but | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
led to angry responses on twitter. BBC News gave us a statement | :07:47. | :08:11. | |
response, which read: Wednesday's News at ten took some | :08:12. | :08:38. | |
viewers by surprise with its lead story, a special report from Ed | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Thomas and the marked increase in knife crime in the UK. In five | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
years' time, I could be in jail, could be dead, could be the biggest | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
drug dealer in Liverpool, you never know, do you, until it happens? | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Tonight, it is Liverpool, but this story could be told in many cities. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
It is one of knives, fear and wasted lives. It started from selling a bit | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
of weed, to selling a bit of class A 's. When did you start selling | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
knives? -- carrying knives? Finally, it's been noted this week | :09:11. | :09:41. | |
that BBC political correspondent Carole Walker is an early riser. On | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Wednesday, she was on air in the cold just after 6am. Our political | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
correspondent Carole Walker is outside the houses of parliament for | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
us. Good morning to you once again. We were hearing in Tom's piece about | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
the Tory rebellion. How large a rebellion is that likely to be? It | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
looks as though the number of Tories who will rebel were actually be | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
quite small... And she was braving the elements in the same spot at the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
same hour on Friday. The Prime Minister has to do walk a tightrope | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
between trying to get on the Donald Trump and also not annoying everyone | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
back here with what she says to him. She is under a lot of pressure, | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
isn't she? Absolutely. This will be a very important, significant and | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
tricky meeting. Carol was also out and about first thing on Tuesday but | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
in a different location. We can speak to Carole Walker outside | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
Supreme Court this morning. I know Supreme Court this morning. I know | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
they don't decide until 930 but what are the thoughts? The expectation | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
widely is the judgment will go against the government, that Theresa | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
May will be told she must seek the approval of parliament before she | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
can trigger Article 50. As we have mentioned, the judgment did against | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
-- did go against her but Steve had a question. | :11:06. | :11:27. | |

BBC News coverage again next week. Goodbye. | :11:57. | :12:11. | |
