BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts. Hello, Henry. Hello. Hello. So it's the wrong day for me to be in the studio. I'm sat on the wrong side of the fake living room that we have. But it's still very exciting. Why would you normally sit here? I would normally sit in that seat, yeah. Oh, so we share a seat. This is what happens when weekdays and weekends are crossed over. You learn new things. Well, it's very nice to have you in the wrong seat because I'm in my seat, which is normally your seat, and this is getting kind of like Kafkaesque and all sorts of other pretentious other descriptions I could come up with. But it's very nice to have you here with us on a weekend newscast at Fleming. And here we are talking about the BBC. Which is something that happens every now and again, because from time to time, things pop up about the BBC as an important national institution. We will be talking about that today, as well as another couple of very important, interesting stories. And it's also Remembrance Sunday. Shall we get into it? Yes, plenty to talk about on this

episode of Newscast. Newscast from the BBC.

Fat boy sliver me in the classroom doing our violin

lessons. I was the tappletail in the class.

Can I have an apology, please? I trust

almost nobody. That daddy has to sometimes

do strong language. Next time in Moscow.

I feel delulu with no salulu. Take me down to Downey Street. Let's go have a tour. Blimey. It's Laura in the studio. In Adam's normal seat. And it's Adam in the studio, not in his normal seat. You're in Paddy's normal seat today. And it's Henry at home and I'd be really worried if one of you were about to tell me that I'm sitting and the seat you usually sit in.

That would be really weird because it would suggest that sometimes me or Adam come and sit in your house when you're not there.

Have you ever thought about doing an episode actually just round Henry's house?

Well, we don't have time because we come here.

Well, Adam, you do actually live very near me, so it would have been more convenient, wouldn't it, with our majority, but anyway. Oh, that's true. That's a whole lot that puts a whole lot of spin on it. Anyway. So, why are we talking about the BBC? So all this week, the Telegraph in particular, have been running stories about a guy called Michael Prescott, who was an independent

advisor to the BBC when it came to editorial standards and complaints and coverage. And he wrote

a letter a little while ago where he highlighted several examples where he felt the BBC hadn't

been impartial or hadn't been accurate.

And this letter was circulated to quite a few people within the BBC, including at the highest

levels. Michael Prescott obviously feels he didn't get a suitable response from the organisation.

And one of the accusations is that Panorama edited a speech Donald Trump gave on January

the 6th, 2021 to make it look like he said, I'll be there with you and we fight.

And actually, that's an edited version of what he said.

And there was lots of words in between, I'll be there with you and we fight.

He has criticism also of the BBC's coverage of Gaza, particularly at BBC Arabic,
