thank you so much for getting in touch with newswatch, claire. what was it that got you to contact us this week? well, i had several news programmes over several days talking well, i heard several news programmes over several days talking about taylor swift. and ijust thought, i'm not sure i've ever heard this before for any other musician or artist. it seemed a major item on the news coverage on bbc one tv at several times a day for several days. and yeah, it wasjust, "not again," you know. i suppose one counterargument might be that it's notjust that she has a lot of fans. she is a huge figure, both financially and culturally in the music industry. does that notjustify the proportion of airtime given to her when she put out a new album? it is... it's a fact to me, but ijust couldn't believe the level of coverage. it made me wonder, you know, really, the bbc should have been paid for marketing it. are they desperately trying to get young people to watch or what is it that's suddenly making this a news event? because there are very big names in t

thank you so much for taking the time to come on newswatch. can we talk about the footage of pop fans in buenos aires that we just showed a bit of ther? how fast did that get exposed, and what was the process? yeah, absolutely. i mean, that video was mega viral in the early morning hours when the news of the iranian retaliatory strike against israel began breaking. and i saw it spreading on tik tok, on instagram, on the platform x. some really big influencer accounts on x and on instagram posted that video and it got millions and millions of views. and then our colleagues from the bbc monitoring service, which monitors iranian media 21w, they got in touch and they said, "have you guys seen this video? it's actually being run on iranian state tv and they're claiming this is israelis actually in fear and panicking from iranian missiles making the impact in israel". and in the video, it's a night—time video and you see a wide street with traffic lights on, some big buildings in the background. and you see a group of people, mostly young people,

gary stewart, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. thank you. we did ask to talk to someone from bbc news about this, but we're told that no one was available. instead, we were given this statement. "we feature new releases when they shed new light and add deeper understanding to significant issues. for example, david attenborough's new series, mammals, sheds new light on how animals are adapting to the ongoing issue of climate change, a subject we know is of huge interest to our audience. our package on this town also looked at the cultural impact of making top tv shows in birmingham, boosting local creative industries and bringing awareness of birmingham's cultural history to a wider audience. gladiators was enjoyed by an audience of around 8 million per episode, making it of interest to a large number of people. the report put this in the context of how, in an era of increasingly fragmented audiences, the show had managed to attract people of all ages to watch the show together on a saturday evening." another regular irritant to some newswatc

thank you so much for coming on newswatch. you introduce the darkest days — what was the thinking behind it? well, i agree with the people who emailed. it was a hard watch. i found it incredibly hard to watch. i had to stop when i watched the israeli film about the nova festival. i also stopped when i was watching the palestinian film, and i think bbc knew that these would be very difficult for our audience to to comprehend, to watch till the end. and so it was decided that they needed someone to introduce the films, to put them into context, to warn audiences that there would be very distressing images. it was decided that perhaps the six month mark of this grievous war was a moment to remind our audiences about the human cost — this really, really devastating human cost of this conflict on both sides, the israeli side, and on the side of palestinians. and so that's when i was brought in to be the person who presents, who warns, but also tries to put them into context. that warning that preceded the documentary saying the
