i'm a former bbc journalist. i worked at the bbc for more than ten years. i know that the bbc has very high standards of journalism. i am bbc has very high standards of journalism. iam not bbc has very high standards of journalism. i am not saying that every bbc journalist journalism. i am not saying that every bbcjournalist or producer or editor is racist. that's not what i am saying. but what i am saying is that race is a pertinent issue that needs to be discussed in a sophisticated manner. there are many elements and issues to race that need to be discussed, and they need to be discussed thoroughly and properly by the bbc. and we need to know that people in newsrooms, and indeed across programmes, who reflect the population. and this is an ongoing discussion, this is not a new thing. diversity and inclusion has been an ongoing discussion at the bbc for many decades. and it's in the last few years in particular, because of the way this country — the way race has been framed in this country, becoming more and more important. diversity and inclusion might

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

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

jane corbin, bbc news. jamal khashoggi's murder has had a big impact on how the world views saudi arabia. let's hearfrom frank gardner who reports from riyadh. saudi arabia has become a more relaxed, lest austere place under crown prince mohammed bin salman. there's public entertainment, and women can drive, but critics say there is a darker, dictator oriole side to his rule, and the stain of of the khashoggi murder will not be easily erased. the image of saudi arabia around the world took a massive hit from the khashoggi murder. much of the leadership here was a bit slow to realise the extent of the damage. here inside the country, there was very little news coverage about the incident. for most saudis, the negative impact of that event has really been overshadowed by the huge social reforms sweeping this country. for now, the population is largely with him, but saudi arabia's problems are mounting, with iran, with yemen, and an ever more sceptical west. frank gardner, bbc news. now to washington, because

that is what the bbc is saying. i watch bbc breakfast. the presenters often express personal anecdotes and feelings, that's why people love the show, because a human. naga munchetty was invited to express her opinion by her co—host. the fact she has been reprimanded for doing that, even carefully with caveats, for conforming to what we asa caveats, for conforming to what we as a society agree which is that racism is wrong, to sanction herfor thatis racism is wrong, to sanction herfor that is ridiculous. i would also like to add that the real slippery slope here i feel is that black and ethnic minority staff within the bbc have been being warned not to sign up have been being warned not to sign up to internal and external letters condemning this judgment. i'm up to internal and external letters condemning thisjudgment. i'm very concerned about the atmosphere of fear in this organisation and that people who feel and feel in the most powerful and profound way that their legitimacy, their humanity is on the line here are not being allowed t

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
