  • A Teenager for the Second Time 27.01.2016
    A teenager for the second time 27.01.2016 A 113-year-old woman became a hit on social media last week after opportunistic reporting by BBC Radio Solent colleagues. Ariel caught up with Dominic Blake after he helped Gladys Hooper (pictured above with son Derek) tell her fascinating story. “I can see it now,” Gladys told me. “Everything was on fire up there.” She was describing one of the most famous incidents of World War One – the night that German airship SL11 was shot down after a bombing raid on London. A teenager at the time, Gladys Ada Elizabeth Hooper is the only surviving eye- witness to the spectacle on September the 3rd 1916, and is now the oldest person in Britain. With the help of her 86-year-old son Derek, she recalled how the sky was filled with pieces of flaming rag as the huge machine fell from 11,000ft before crashing at Cuffley in Hertfordshire. It was a remarkable account from the former concert pianist who was also one of the UK’s first lady drivers and a close friend of aviation pioneer Amy Johnson. The story could easily have been missed if it hadn’t been for BBC Radio Solent’s Kane Reeves. The producer had taken a call from Derek the day before, asking the station to play a 113th birthday request. He spotted its potential, and as the local reporter I was soon on my way to Gladys’ home at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. During my visit I shot a video of the encounter for the BBC Radio Solent Facebook page, and the level of interest has been staggering.

  • FINANCIAL STABILITY REPORT PRESS CONFERENCE TUESDAY 28 JUNE 2017 Mike Peacock
    FINANCIAL STABILITY REPORT PRESS CONFERENCE TUESDAY 28 JUNE 2017 Mike Peacock: Okay, if you could give us your name and organisation, wait for a mic and one question first time round please, we’ll loop back round if we have time at the end. Kamal and then Adam, please. Kamal Ahmed, BBC: Thank you. Governor, there was a warning today to the banks about consumer borrowing and the growth in consumer borrowing, but of course, the loans market takes two to tango, so to speak. I just wondered how concerned you are that consumers are borrowing too much and that if these benign conditions on interest rates, for example, don’t last and interest rates rise, that millions of people could find themselves in difficulty and overextended. Mark Carney: Well, I think in terms of messages to consumers, the first is one that’s that same message whether times are good or bad or somewhere in between, which is that whenever somebody takes out a mortgage or a loan for a new business, or an investment, that they consider adverse scenarios as well as positive scenarios. As you’ve just said, whether interest rates can go up as well as stay the same, whether exchange rates could move, and whether the overall pace of growth could change as well. The track record of the British people, the British borrowers, suggests that they do take those factors, by and large, into account. Certainly, in an environment in which we’re operating, it is that general advice, that stating the obvious, which is often the advice you get from a central banker, is particularly apt.

  • Trans Media Watch 21St June 2020 Kamal Ahmed Dear Kamal, We Are
    Trans Media Watch BM TMW LONDON WC1N 3XX 21st June 2020 Kamal Ahmed Editorial Director, BBC News Broadcasting House London W1A 1AA Dear Kamal, We are writing, subsequent to the amends made in the last day or so to the news story reporting concerns by Cross-Party LGBT groups over Liz Truss’ plans for trans law reform. We are aware of a significant letter already sent to you, by Helen Belcher, which makes in detail many points we would otherwise have made, and therefore, rather than repeat such detail, we attach a copy of her letter as reminder to you and summarise our own concerns below. 1. As you are aware, we were the primary party in the complaint, received by you three months ago, and which Ms Belcher highlighted in her letter. We are puzzled as to why in three months you have been unable to do more than acknowledge that complaint, while in response to complaints from anti-trans ideologues, you have amended a story within 24 hours. This adds weight to the contention that the BBC is institutionally transphobic. 2. The many journalists and news professionals that support the work of Trans Media Watch are genuinely perplexed as to what news values you are endorsing in respect of what happened to this piece. It began life as a short story, reporting the fact that the Cross Party Groups had made certain comments. Also, because unanimity by these Groups is unusual, it highlighted that. The correct “balance” in such a piece would be comment from Liz Truss, the target of their remarks, or the GEO, the department for which, in her capacity as Minister for Equalities, she is responsible.
