Days news, but now it is time for newswatch. Welcome to newswatch. On this weeks programme, they got their envelopes mixed up, but did bbc news get its News Priorities the wrong way round . We discuss complaints that the embarrassment of the oscars was reported on as if it was an event of major global significance but really, was it . Did you know that things did not go entirely as planned at the oscars this year . Thought so. Any bbc News Programme on monday, the strange events on stage were hard to avoid. It really should not have been that difficult, opening the right envelope at the right time and naming the right film, but at the oscars last night in front of a global audience of billions, it all went horribly wrong. Warren beatty and faye dunaway announced to the world that the winner of best film was george best all by la la land, but the only problem, it wasnt. As well as taking a significant airtime, the envelope mix up occupied the first seven or 0 envelope mix up occupied the first seven oi so minutes envelope mix up occupied the first seven or so minutes of the news at one and the news at six and that pushed what many considered more significant subjects out of or down the running order. Such is the first public hearings in the governments independent inquiry into child sexual abuse. 2 mac viewers recorded their thoughts for us. Two. |j cant believe the bbc would consider this important enough to devote so much of the programme to. When there is so much happening around the world. I have no objection to this getting a mention, but keep the Headline Spot for truly important newsworthy items. You are after all providing a public service. Let me just say that im a great fan of the bbc, and especially the Breakfast Programme in the morning. However, i was absolutely gobsmacked the other day when Warren Beatty made this Envelope Mistake for the Award Ceremony Envelope Mistake for the Award Ceremony and it just Envelope Mistake for the Award Ceremony and itjust seems Envelope Mistake for the Award Ceremony and it just seems that suddenly the bbc is twisting us into a separate universe. We have people in south to dan starving to death, seltzer down. We have donald trump manipulating the media and north korea threatening a new arms race, and yet the whole world comes toa race, and yet the whole world comes to a standstill because Warren Beatty opens the wrong envelope for the is the bbc losing perspective . It dominated breakfast and it dominated the whole of the news for the rest the day and in fact the next day. I was sick to death of it. Come on, bbc, get a grip. No awards from viewers for best news broadcaster. Disgruntlement continued through the week. Bbc news reported on thursday that the a ccou nta nts reported on thursday that the accountants from pricewaterhousecoopers responsible for the fiasco would not be working on the oscars again, and on friday that they had been given bodyguards following threats on social media. Giraldo another viewer who Thought Be News was living in la la land brian hughes. Bbc news still banging on about the simple mistake by the pricewaterhousecoopers two. Why . We are with the daily controller of bbc news. What was your objection . felt the same as those viewers who had just given their views. There was so had just given their views. There was so much time spent on this one silly item. And i think, my views we re silly item. And i think, my views were off on the breakfast drove them, dan walker and louise were trying desperately to keep the momentum going programme. They we re momentum going programme. They were so momentum going programme. They were so excited, going to the red carpet, and we went to the red carpet, and we went to the red carpet and there was this poor man standing ina carpet and there was this poor man standing in a kilt, desperately trying to speak to someone. He didnt get anybody to speak to him. I think he would have grabbed a cleaner if he could. It was just silly. I know there is always an issue every year with oscars coverage, issue every year with oscars coverage, but this year it was compounded. Because it is far it makes a nice fresh and change, but viewers feel you have overdone it. On the six oclock news we did a five minute item on this, on the six oclock news we did a fiveminute item on this, so it was at the top of the running order. Im not saying that we underplayed it. That was 12 hours after. But many people this will be the first time coming back from work they will have the chance to see what happened and why it happened and what is the outcome and the ramifications. It is more thanjust outcome and the ramifications. It is more than just a fun outcome and the ramifications. It is more thanjust a fun night and, this is the major event in the calendar for the entertainment industry. And this is the biggest blunder in the entertainment historys history, julie. It is right that we cover a range of stories and that includes entertainment and popular culture. Mary, is the biggest entertainment Story Of The Year and that is what it merited that slot at that time. Yes, i dont think it is, actually, andi yes, i dont think it is, actually, and i dont think with the greatest respect, that it is the big media event that everyone is interested in. Did you have a view about what other stories were then given less coverage . I dont know what they were, because it just coverage . I dont know what they were, because itjust seemed that everything was oscars, oscars, and i believed there was a Child Abuse Item but it was squashed into a corner and i didnt really absorb it. That is one of the concerns that many people have. The Abuse Inquiry Story should have been the lead, and maybe this could have been the third headline. It is the bbc giving priorities to something you shouldnt. The ten oclock news did not lead with the oscars, the six oclock news did, and one thing to pick up, it was the most watched viewed shared item across the way, this gaffe. We hear that a lot. It is important. The audience for bulletins as opposed to online, who know they can read in depth. When they turn on the bullet and they wa nt to they turn on the bullet and they want to know the most important stories in the right order the bulletin. What is the right order . Youre right order is going to be different to mine and marys. That is fine. It is a subjective matter and there is no correct order to these things, but what would have been incorrect if we had not covered the Child Sex Abuse Inquiry and so be previewed it the night before and we have substantial coverage across today. In the mix you have to have a range of stories, but what news cant be is just range of stories, but what news cant be isjust about death range of stories, but what news cant be is just about death tolls in Descending Order is or disasters. It can feel like the bbc is trying to keep up with social media where these stories have huge traction. Some in the audience said it is not the business of the bbc to be trying to compete with that kind of show business social media that word. But it is our business to give audiences a range of stories, and there will be people who think we should not be covering sport. What difference does this make . Others feel differently. The same with politics. Some will feel that we bang on too much about politics and others feel that we dont get into the nitty gritty of it enough. You always need a mix. This has gone on all week, and we knew there was a mix up in the envelope and then it was detail about how, but that is it. Thursday and friday, it was dominating a Lot Ofairtime and friday, it was dominating a lot of airtime about these Accountancy Workers with bodyguards and are they going to work again at the oscars. People say it wasnt warranted. Did it really dominate airtime . We returned to it. One of the justified criticisms of the bbc and the media in general can be that we do a huge amount ona in general can be that we do a huge amount on a story and then the Juggernaut Moves on and you never hear the Juggernaut Moves on and you never hearthe end. Juggernaut moves on and you never hear the end. What actually happened . With this, we are saying, there is a development, for those who are interested, and many were. Here is the next iteration. If it had been the lead story across five days, i would hold had been the lead story across five days, Iwould Hold My had been the lead story across five days, i would hold my hands up and say we have gone over the top. Final word, mary, what you feel about what you have heard . Word, mary, what you feel about what you have heard . I think over the weeks and news watch we have at items and complaints about the news actually putting the emphasis on Show Business Things will stop my view is that, please, the majority of your viewers are Licence Payers and they want to switch on and see a very balanced view of the news and i dont think you are providing it. Please, please, were trying make the bbc Head And Shoulders above the rest will stop will you try to make. We will certainly try to do that. Thank you.

To take us through this weeks cinema releases, as ever, is mark kermode. Hello, mark whats in store . So a very mixed bag we have logan, a Superhero Movie that isnt really a Superhero Movie. Viceroys house, a very handsome period drama from gurinder chadha. And certain women, the latest low key offering from kelly reichardt. So wolverine, back with us. Yeah, although in a way that kind of missells it. So this is basically a Superhero Movie that isnt about superheroes its about ageing, and its about arthritis, and its about growing old, and losing your memory. Wow, im already surprised yeah, it is an x men movie for people who prefer westerns to comic book adaptations. Set in a not too distant future in which huthackmans titular character, wolverine obviously, is Making A Living as a limo driver. He is looking wretched, drinks, has bloodshot eyes, and he spends his time looking after Patrick Stewarts charles xavier, who now has what is descibed as a degenerative Brain Disease in the most dangerous brain in the world. They are living off the grid, trying to stay under the radar, keep themselves to themselves or at least that is what theyre trying to do. Hey, carl, it looks like mr munson hired some muscle. Looks that way. Hes a friend of mine. Friend with a big mouth. I hear that a lot. Then you probably hear this too. Rifle cocked. More than id like. Then you know the drill.
