Very difficult for some of ourjournalists who are repeatedly subjected to online abuse of the most horrible, vicious nature, quite often. misogynistic, laura kuensberg, mari spring, i think thats what i have seen changed over the course of my career. its interesting you say that because we do get complaints from viewers that they feel bbc politicaljournalists are often putting a personal spin on stories. i wonder if that compromises the bbc�*s commitment to impartiality. yes, it would do and t...

Case, you need to recuse. if a reasonable person -- an image of partiality, if it looks like the judge might have a conflict it cant be fair. he supposed to step down. that applies to only the lower courts, not the supreme court, because it holds itself above the ethics code that applies to the rest of the judges in this country. >> as you point out in your piece, sonia sotomayor, brett kavanaugh, stephen braille have all recuse themselves when friends or family have been in a case that came bef...

Putting a personal spin on stories. and i wonder if that compromises the bbc�*s commitment to impartiality. yes, it would do, and thats why we brought out social media guidelines, to remind our staff that we need to be cautious in the social media space about your insertion of your own political views and political opinions. because if we are not impartial there is no point to us. we cant charge a licence fee off everybody in the uk if we are not impartial. its beholden on all of our staff to ...

The idea of of double standards will come into play. but i i this that the women who are at least on this very short list are more than capable of being able to have the same level of impartiality and the same ability to rule based on the law and its interpretation as the benefit of the doubt given to every other supreme court nominee up to this point. and if thats not what happens, then thats a different conversation we need to have about the senate process. >> laura, kaitlan, thank you both. i...

Me there is something about meatloaf. thanks very much for giving that warm tribute to meatloaf whose death was announced today at the end of the net age of 74. how do you follow that? 0nly one—way with newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. not for the first time the bbc�*s political coverage comes under fire for an alleged lack of balance. we asked fran unsworth, soon to lead the corporation after four years after leaving its news division about impartiality, acco...

First reported as claims that racial slurs against muslims could be heard inside the bus. in other words the jewish passengers on the bus had responded to the abuse against them by abusing the people outside in return and that is vehemently denied by those involved. the main dispute seems to be about whether there was a slur in english or whether in fact it was a call for help in hebrew that was misheard or mistranslated. so the executive complaints unit were asked to investigate whether the bc ...

And -- in a break at a debate and said, you know, you havent said that you would nominate a black woman to the court, and thats really important. and -- and that he made that promise during a debate, and then continued to use that on the campaign trail. >> well, i think it was a good promise to have made, and one that fulfills not only what i think is long overdue, as he has said. but remember, im really irritated by the notion that of all the presidential nominees we have seen over the course o...

Ability to synthesize information and their impartiality. its stunning in this nation that nobody would believe that it would be odd to say you need to have a woman on the bench. but somehow the idea of a black woman on the bench is something that is decades, if not centuries delayed. and that simply cant be the case. every one of the people who has been presented at least so far are people who really could run circles, frankly, around most of the lawyers in this nation and for good reason. they...
