Al-Hoceima Hello and welcome. Later on the programme... Jeremy Corbyn | :00:15. | :00:30. | |
comments went down well but was that because the audience was not well | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
represented or did the BBC handle the programme Rob Lee? And where | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
these pictures worthy of the attention they received? First, | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
election campaigns are often defined by actual or perceived blunders but | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
politicians caught on camera and microphones replayed endlessly | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
increasingly so in the media social media age. Jeremy Corbyn had this | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
encounter on Tuesday. How much will it cost to provide a means tested | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
childcare for 1.3 million children. It will cost... It will obviously | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
cost a lot to do so... I presume you have the figures? I will give you | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
the figure in a moment. You do not know it? You are logging into your | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
iPad. You're announcing a major policy and if you do not know how | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
much it will cost. It featured on BBC but many viewers felt that too | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
much was being made of a memory lapse... | :01:52. | :02:13. | |
Another few recorded her thoughts for us on video. On Tuesday, we had | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
the perfect illustration of the differential treatment of Labour and | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the Conservatives. Headline News on all the broadcast media because | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Jeremy Corbyn forgot her figure. Compare that to the treatment of | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who on the today | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
programme got his figures out by ?20 billion. It might have been balanced | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
if they mention that Labour had a fully costed manifesto whereas the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Tories manifesto was totally uncosted. Another election | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
controversy followed on Wednesday after a debate featuring | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
representatives of the seven main parties, including Amber Rudd and | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. I was thinking how chaotic it would be if they all got | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
together... It felt by some viewers that it fell into chaos at times. | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
One told us she found debates like that... | :03:29. | :03:48. | |
More contentious the reaction of the audience put together by the polling | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
company who were commissioned by the BBC. Have you seen people sleeping | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
around our stations... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Have you seen the level... | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Jeremy Corbyn can you respond to that point... I am proud to lead | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
this party and I was a late did. -- elect did. When Amber Rudd spoke, | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
the audience responded in a less enthusiastic way. We have made it | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
clear decision to make sure that we protect the poorest in our society. | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
You have not. The pensioners will be protected. Judge us on our record... | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
LAUGHTER. The following morning, the Daily Mail front page screamed of by | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
yes and the Foreign Secretary called the audience the most left-wing he | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
had ever seen. It was a yammering cacophony of views, many of them | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
left wing. Even by the BBC standards, he would agree the | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
audience was notably to the left of many people in this country. What | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
did Newswatch view is think? One joins me. I was actually shocked by | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
the audience reaction I thought the jeering and sharing of some people | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
but the jeering of others was unacceptable. It seemed to be that | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
the audience was, at least 80%, left of centre in its buyers and I | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
thought that was completely unrepresentative of how the country | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
votes. You raise the issue of whether the audience was unbalanced. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
The company said this earlier in the week. The reality was, the audience | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
was scrupulously put together, select it and verified and I think a | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
politician's clapometer is not the best way to judge how the voting | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
public is, to open the bonnet and understand how the audience was put | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
together. It is like constructing a giant 3-D jigsaw. You have to look | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
how representative is... Making sure it is a conservative of the 2015 | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
result, the current voting tensions, the people who voted remain, until | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
you it absolutely was. You raise concerns about the panellists. What | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
was your concern about the way they came across and the way the debate | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
worked? I do not understand why there were seven speakers and a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
number of them are from very small parties. If you look at the way | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
people voted, one got .6% of the vote in 2015 or stop they all got an | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
awful lot of air time and I do not know whether the audience... They | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
say everyone was represented, was the Conservative audience of 40 | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
times... I just do not believe the audience was representative of the | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
country. You also spoke about the sense that five leaders were | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
essentially ganging up on Amber Rudd stop what could or should the BBC | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
have done differently? It was very difficult. It is send it into chaos. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
It was shouting match. I thought Amber Rudd actually did very well, | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
under a lot of aggression. I think that the presenter should have | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
stopped some of these shouting. I think perhaps the BBC should have | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
thought about the format. Seven speakers is too much. Perhaps two | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
presenters. Ground rules at the beginning about not making personal | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
attacks and not shouting at people. Basically it was a complete turnoff. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
I know a number of people who turned off the TV. At think it put most | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
people off politics. We asked the BBC to come and talk about the | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
concerns. No one is available at we do have a statement... -- but. | :08:43. | :09:09. | |
That is what the BBC have had to say. A final word to you. I do not | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
think that is correct. I do not think... I think the militant side | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
of the audience hijacked the programme. I think it is happening | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
more and more and I think if they were... If there was more central | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
right wing viewers perhaps they did not want to speak up and be | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
subjected to a barrage of abuse. Thank you very much. Finally, the | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
aftermath of last week 's bomb attack in Manchester continues to | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
attract headlines. CCTV footage of Salman Abedi Salman Abedi heralded | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
as a feature. Contact a Mac a young man in a hooded top, on his own on a | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Sunday morning shop. In this footage obtained by the BBC, he looks | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
relaxed as he is captured on CCTV browsing the shelves. He spent a | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
pounds 74 and bought armaments, tuna, scouring pads and air | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
freshener. Staff in the shop believe this was Salman Abedi Salman Abedi. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Some viewers said they found this for you we stick and lacking in the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
news value. One recorded her thoughts on camera. I simply could | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
not understand why that was considered to be major news and to | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
warrant the main spot. Of course, such a great event needed extensive | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
coverage but the coverage it should have been in use and not | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
sensationalism. So many other things happened that week which were not | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
mentioned or received a very scant coverage, to name one, 26 people | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
were killed on a bus in Egypt and yet it was hardly mentioned. I felt | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
really sad that taxpayers money is used to fund public broadcasting | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
that sometimes sinks to the level of tabloid journalism. Thank you for | :11:28. | :11:32. | |

We are off air next week in the aftermath of the general election | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
that in a fortnight we will be looking back at the campaign | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
coverage. We'll do the easy bit first and then | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
I'll give you the forecast, which is probably the bit | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
you're after, anyway. A mixture of sunny | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
spells and showers. Friday was not just | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
as straightforward. | :12:19. | :12:20. |
