That's it from me. At ten o'clock, and Fiona Bruce will be here with a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
round-up of the day before the news. But first, it's time for Newswatch. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Hello, welcome to Newswatch with me, Paddy O'Connell | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Coming up: Diane Abbott got her maths in a muddle but did | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
BBC News get their sums wrong too and make too much f it? | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
And Madeline McCann is a tragic case, but is the BBC | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Brexit was always going to loom large over this election | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
campaign and this week, it took centre stage. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Theresa May describes the reports of a fractious | :00:43. | :00:54. | |
dinner with her and urban the European Union | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
She was reporting to use the kinds of sharp disagreements with Juncker | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
over how quickly a deal could be done. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Maxine Edmonds was one of the number of viewers are surprised | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
at the prominence being given to a second-hand anonymous | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
On Tuesday, the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg try to nail | :01:12. | :01:55. | |
that down with the Prime Minister on a campaign trip to Cornwall. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Did Juncker say Brexit cannot be the success? | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
I don't recall the account that is being given | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
I think a lot of this is Brussels gossip. | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
The account that I have seen, a lot of that is Brussels gossip. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Later in the week, that line changed, the Prime Minister attacked | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
European politicians and officials, who she said had issued threats | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
the book against Britain timed to affect the election result. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
At a press conference hosted by Davis and Hammond, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
Laura Kuenssberg tried again to get clarity on the state of discussions | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Can I ask you not to hide behind the fact that there | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
will be with negotiations, in this election, don't voters | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
they are stumping up, is close to zero or 100 million | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
they are stumping up, is close to zero or 100 million or zero? | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
the BBC's political editor faced questions from viewers. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
It's not just the Conservatives who have been under scrutiny in this | :03:15. | :03:44. | |
On Tuesday, the Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
Labour's plans to recruit 10,000 more police officers and how | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Among a round of interviews, one with Nick Ferrari on LBC | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
And later, Jo Coburn played it to her again | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
How much would 10,000 police officers cost? | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Well, if we recruit the 10,000 policemen and women over a four-year | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
period, we believe it will be about ?300,000. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
For 10,000 police officers, what are you paying them? | :04:22. | :04:32. | |
Diane Abbott, that is hugely embarrassing. | :04:33. | :04:52. | |
It's not just misspeaking, to quote you, a bit earlier, | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
you just don't know your figures and you're not on top of your brief? | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
If I didn't know my figures, why was I able to do six | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
other interviews and give the figures correctly? | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Despite the defence, the blunder was replayed | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
and discussed all day on many BBC outlets, which displeased | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
He recorded this video on Thursday to explain his objection. | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
I was really concerned with the way this whole thing that Diane Abbott | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
actually got wrong yesterday, the way it actually | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
People make mistakes, she got the figures wrong at that point, | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
she was put on the spot, I believe people who have made | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
mistakes more than that, to the way it was taken | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
At the end of the day, everything will be clarified in the manifesto. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
The views of our viewer Llewellyn Samuels. | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have made it clear that they won't take | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
part in any TV leaders debates during the campaign. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
But the French presidential candidates have shown | :06:01. | :06:01. | |
Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen were slugging it out again this | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
week, in advance of Sunday's second round of voting. | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
TRANSLATION: Against terrorism we have to close our borders. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
And that is what I will do the moment I take power. | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
TRANSLATION: Closing borders achieves nothing. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
There are many countries outside the Schengen area that have been | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
hard hit as hard as us with terrorist attacks. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
We heard what the candidates had to say, but not in a way that | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Why oh why when the British so bad and foreign languages, | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
does the BBC appear to collude with this by dubbing | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
over any conversations that aren't in English, | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
French is taught in most of our schools and yet, | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
when a political debate is the lead story, children are | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
prevented from hearing this from native speakers. | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
I would love to have heard exactly what Emmanuel Macron | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
and Marine Le Pen said to one another. | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
And our children could have heard an emotional and relevant debate | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
instead of a supply teacher with an English accent. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Many of us will require these languages in future. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
The BBC charter promises to promote education and learning. | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
It's not just election coverage that has attracted your | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Wednesday marked ten years since Madeline McCann disappeared | :07:42. | :07:55. | |
from a holiday apartment in Portugal. | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
The BBC marked the anniversary with a Panorama special and another | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
of news reports with John K reporting live from Portugal | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Since that night we don't know much more, we don't know despite, | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
despite everything written and said, all the money spent | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
on investigations, and that's the most extraordinary part | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
We don't know how Madeline left and who she was and was with, | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
the only thing we know for certain is that she is still missing. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Given the sad fact of any major developments in the search | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
for Madeline, some viewers were wondered whether | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
the anniversary and the case itself over the past decade had received | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
After all, 100,000 children go missing in the UK each year. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
And around 40 have been missing now for more than ten years. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
We've had not only constant repetition on the news, | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
but reporters sent to Portugal, interviews with celebrity | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
presenters, and to cap it all off, the whole Panorama episode | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
All for something that is really no more newsworthy than 100 other | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
stories of similar nature that we have never heard | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
We put that point to BBC News, and they told us: | :09:06. | :09:45. | |
News reported on someone who planted a bomb on a tube train. | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
Damon Smith was caught on CCTV leaving a bag with exposure | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
--exposure on one of the carriages, the train was evacuated minutes | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
This was Damon Smith in a police interview. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
He has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. | :10:14. | :10:14. | |
When I was on the tube, I realise I was going to Stratford, | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
and I thought it would be a good time to leave my bag for a prank. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Colin Minto was one of several she was concerned about those | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
He recorded his thoughts for us on camera. | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
What does the BBC and other news agencies continuously impact | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
on the demonstrable progress made by attributing someone's proven | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
or potential mental or ill-health to criminal acts they have committed | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
or national security issues they have been involved in. | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
Is it absolutely necessary, has it been proven that they're mental | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
ill-health is relevant and a contributory | :10:51. | :10:51. | |
You would not accuse someone who was a woman or someone | :10:52. | :11:04. | |
who is black or someone who is homosexual or disabled | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
or sight impaired who has been arrested or charged for, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
without any further detail around why it is potentially relevant. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
