initially, actually, nobody in the bbc covered the story because ourjudgment nobody in the bbc covered the story because our judgment was nobody in the bbc covered the story because ourjudgment was it was not the story of public interest, having thought about it, and we thought there were clear privacy issues involved with it so actually there was no coverage of the story until ben was no coverage of the story until be n stoa kes was no coverage of the story until ben stoa kes himself was no coverage of the story until ben stoakes himself issued an incredibly strong and detailed statement addressing his anger, his upset about it and his views on the whole nature of that kind of journalism, and at that stage, i judgment was it became a story we should cover. so, when he spoke out publicly that was a story. would you make of the viewers who felt the bbc should have ignored it all together? i hear that and you know, on some levels, in terms of obviously the nature of the story i ever stammer people are coming from but actually, ido people are coming from but actually, i do think and i thi

even in the bbc, never mind outside. that was a judgment on this particular occasion, we felt we needed to take. my sense of my time in journalism is the goalposts have moved a little bit. there was a time when most media outlets felt if they could report it, if they knew it i knew it to be right, then they should. i think we are now in a place, the public is any place, and our audience, where they expect us to think more deeply and not report everything we might know, regardless of legal, but even editorialjudgments, when it comes to privacy and to the public interest. there is no doubt we'd take that very seriously, we think about that a lot in all of the things we do and we will always try to strike the balance between the need to know, what is in the public interest, but where appropriate, respecting people's previously. thank you very much. thank you for all your comments this week. tell us your opinions on what you see here... hello. friday brought a lot of sunshine to a lot of places across the british isles and i

at the bbc. brea kfast been developing here at the bbc. breakfast presenter naga munchetty has been found by the corporation's executive complaints unit to have breached bbc guidelines in comments she made on air injuly. they were pa rt she made on air injuly. they were part of a conversation initiated by co—presenter dan walker after president trump had told four democratic congress women to go back to the places from which they came. it is, it is the president. that was the most telling quote for me last night. i can't remember who said, but she said she had been told to go home times, to go back to where she came from. now she is being told by the man in the oval office. every timel the man in the oval office. every time i have been told, as he woman of colour, to go back to where i came from, that was embedded in racism. i am came from, that was embedded in racism. lam not came from, that was embedded in racism. i am not accusing anyone of anything here, but you know what certain phrases me

chi chi izundu, bbc news. you can hear the full interview on bbc sounds. now it's time for newswatch, with samira ahmed. this week, how is a new weekly tv programme trying to explain brexit? hello and welcome to news watch. a new take for television audiences on a very familiar subject, the pod cast brexit cast comes to tv. will its informal approach enlighten confused viewers? and how do its presenters and the bbc‘s journalist in general deal with rising levels of anger about perceived bias over brexit? to say feelings have been running high over brexit and over the bbc‘s coverage is to state the obvious, but this week if anything, the temperature was raised again. what got many viewers hot under the collar was the reporting of this development in the long—running saga on wednesday. the high scottish court rules borisjohnson has suspended parliament illegally to avoid scrutiny of his brexit plans. opposition mps demand the recall of parliament as a judgment sends shock waves through westminster. the case was brought by a group of opposition mps in p

they can come back to the bbc, the bbc will respond again. and then, there is a third appeal stage, if you would like the executive complaint units. they say in this case, when it got to the third stage in the bbc, it says it sets out in its rules that you have to point out more specifically what you are unhappy with about the bbc‘s initial rulings. the complainant chose only to focus on what munchetty had said in that exchange. that was what was put as the appeal before the executive complaints units, and that was all it could rule on, and all it did rule on. was oh, thank you very much indeed for bringing us that update, that news hasjust much indeed for bringing us that update, that news has just come into us update, that news has just come into us of course within the last hour, we will be speaking to trevor phillips in the next 15 minutes or so, sir trevor phillipsjoining us us at about half past eight. let's get the headlines now and bbc news. a series of investments announced by the chancellor including a significant rise in the nati

it's not a good look for the bbc. i don't think we singled anybody out but i am afraid that the executive complaints unit deals with the complaints it gets. some people say why isn't dan walker being singled out or mentioned in the same way as naga munchetty? dan walker's role. the complainant didn't mention dan walker at all? there were quite a lot of complaints at the time it was made. a lot of people disagreed with your audience members about what she said at the time. only one of those, as you correctly said, made its way to the executive complaints unit. then they're obliged to deal with a complaint they have and not complaints they might like to have or other complaints that might be available. that's what they did in this instance. one might wonder how they came to the decision, because could they not look at the context? even if the complaint was just about naga munchetty, you're sayinig the complainant didn't mention dan walker at all, can they not look at the fact he initiated the conversation? there is a me
