    Broadcasting House on Radio 4 with a BBC trustee Michael Williams who didn’t even know there was a story in this mornings papers criticising the BBC, and didn’t care, didn’t want to know, didn’t want to discuss it, and when forced to simply dismissed it as soon as he could.

    Described it as the best broadcaster in the world, with no fear of contradiction. He simply couldn’t accept there was any issues with the corporation what so ever.

    Stunning complacency and yet another questionable appointment of a man who has previously worked for the BBC as an editor for the world service.

    On his appointment his statement concerned only the drop in the BBC funding, which in reality was a fixing of the licence fee.

      The more one learns about these Trustees, the more it seems they are kept like mushrooms, and wheeled out only to turn some broken eggs into a dubious omelette. With extra cheese.
      Sounds like the interviewer was a rare beast. Is this thing iPlayered or, better, easy for some tech whizz to sample and post for eternity?
      He’s the kind of creep who licence fee payers have to trust to look after their interests, assessing for accuracy what he is served in secret by colleagues not on record as being entirely straight or complete with evidence.

      ‘The Beeb insists the roles – for which not even expenses are paid – give people “valuable hands-on experience”’

      Well, if ‘the Beeb’ (why is it there is almost never an actual spokesperson?) says so….
      One might imagine ‘the Beeb’ would be the first in line should, say, a Tesco middle manager or bank come out with a similar line.
      Being ‘unique’ covers so much.
      Have to say the calibre of BBC work experience posts here does not really suggest their hearts are in it.

      I heard a long piece by the “reporter” Matt Wells last night. This has obviously been his main task for the month – 2 trips to the monastery, he took his family on the second trip. This is “work” we are paying for. All very convenient – it just happens to be a famous beaty spot in Catalonia.

      The “nun” is a leftie nutcase, her policy ideas vary between lunacy and anarchy. Not much different from the Paul Mason strand of Occupy-Movement-as-Heroes. Yes, she is voluble, and Catalan independence attracts supporters in Catalonia. But it is appalling that the BBC should give such prominence to a fruitcake.

      Sometimes I wish we could bring back the Spanish Inquisition.

    Looks like a pack attack? The BBC only only reported the death of Akpom after the house fire and only in passing.

    “A witness has described how he saw Mr Akpom collapse in the street after a row involving more than a dozen young men.

    The man, who did not want to be identified, said: “My attention was caught by a lot of shouting in the street just before 5.30pm. I then saw two young men run down Kent Street, towards the A47.

    “A group of up to 15 young men then started walking down Kent Street and turned into Sussex Street. It was when he turned his back on me I saw he had been stabbed just under the shoulder blade”.

    Jeez, after a week in a cottage on Exmoor where we could only tune BBC channels I gave up after the 8 o’clock BBC 1 news was presented by Riz Lateef followed by local presenter Sabet Choudry, followed by a trail for CBBC with featuring little other than a ‘minority’ family.

    Nothing against these people but not at all representative of the ‘Britain’ I still see around me (for now) I had to check outside just to check I was still in the UK.

    There ain’t much on the other channels but having nothing other than BBC is bloody depressing to say the least and really brings home the osmotic brainwashing that is being fed hourly to our softheads, both culturally and politically.

Oh, except for the ritual moaning and rending of garments about Papa Joe gallantly keeping that maudlin dirge “Vienna” off the top of the charts, a public service if ever there was one.

      And yes, a woman who turned 16 (before the cherry vultures descend on you) a fortnight before the decade ended is the natural choice to talk about it all.

    Israel’s forgotten tribe is supposed to be a feather-light food/travel piece and or the most part it is. But the BBC never loses the opportunity to stick the knife fork into Israel. The writer Dan Savery Raz is portrayed as an expert on Israel (co-authored the latest Lonely Planet Israel & the Palestinian Territories guide book which makes one wonder about his other contributions to the BBC, HaAretz, Time Out, EasyJet Traveller and The Jerusalem Report.

    It starts badly. Contrary to popular belief, the Holy Land is not just home to two peoples – Israelis and Palestinians – but a diverse mix of cultures. Minority groups in Israel include the A-B-C-D-E of Arabs, Bedouins, Copts, Druze and Ethiopians. Although most visitors may know something of Bedouins, the delights of the Druze tribe are a well-kept secret.

    Raz may have wanted to keep to his A-B-C-D-E imagery but all Bedouin are Arabs. The majority Arab ‘Palestinian’ population have different customs and dialects but both are subsets of the larger group ie Arabs. Similarly except for a tiny group of possibly 2000 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians (ironically probably converted from Ethiopian Jews in the 4th century CE) all Ethiopians in Israel are Jewish and Israeli.

    Who keeps the Druse a secret, except perhaps the BBC?

    Widely regarded as a friendly community that lives in peace with Israel and its neighbours, the Druze people are an often-overlooked religious Arab minority (82.6% of Arabs in Israel are Sunni Muslim, 9% are Druze and 9% are Christian Arabs). Worldwide, there are around one million Druze living mainly in Syria and Lebanon, with 104,000 in Israel. Although they speak Arabic, the Druze are not Muslim, but call themselves muwahhidun (monotheists).

    Most Israeli Druze don’t consider themselves Arabs and certainly reject the Arab nationalist agenda. Since 1957, the Israeli government has designated the Druze a distinct ethnic community at the request of its communal leaders. In a survey conducted in 2008, Yussuf Hassan of the Tel Aviv University found that more than 94% of Druze youth classified themselves as “Druze-Israelis” in the religious and national context.

    Blending Islamic, Hindu and Greek philosophy, the Druze believe in reincarnation and share prophets with Judaism, Christianity and Islam, including Moses, Jesus and Mohammed. They have their own flag, the Druze Star, with each of the five colours representing a prophet.

    If one was going to describe the Druze religion the most important fact has been left out. The Druze religion is a ‘revealed’ religion only transmitted to initiates. As most Druze are not initiates (arguably a priesthood) most Druze only have a cursory knowledge of the details of the religion and aa will refuse to divulge what they know to an outsider.

    While I have seen the Druze star, most every Druze flag I have seen consists of stripes. Apparently there is also a variation with a green triangle at the hoist side but I don’t recall seeing one. Likewise there are different explanations for the colours.

    Traditionally, Druze men are proud of their military service, but there are signs that this attitude is changing.

    The Druze are conscripted at their own request as are the Jews (and Circassians). The BBC prefers to search out the complainers. It suits the narrative. On 30 June 2011, Haaretz reported that a growing number of Israeli Druze were joining elite units of the military, leaving the official Druze battalion, Herev, understaffed. This trend has led to calls for its disbandment.

    It’s difficult to be a minority but One notable exception, though, is Naim Araidi, a Druze professor who was appointed Israel’s ambassador to Norway last year. is minimising the Druse contribution in many spheres. I won’t give a long list but surely Ayoob Kara, member of the Knesset for Likud and Deputy Minister for Development of the Negev and Galilee deserves a mention as does Majalli Wahabi, who served as a member of the Knesset for Likud, Kadima and Hatnuah between 2003 and 2013. He briefly assumed the position of President due to President Moshe Katzav’s leave of absence and Acting President Dalia Itzik’s trip abroad in February 2007, making him the first non-Jew to act as Israel’s head of state. In terms of real power, Hasin Fares – former Commander of the Israeli Police also would be a good example of successful Druze in israeli society. He also served as the head of the Logistic Support department of the Israeli Police and the commander of the Israel Border Police.

    Raz ends with a whisper. Over there, the Druze in Syria face an altogether more dangerous reality. Yes they do and if the BBC lack of coverage of the Druze in Syria is any indication they are the real forgotten tribe.

      I thought this one was more a shake of head and grin job, akin to the Graun coffee empire that Guido keeps going back to in search of a business model, or customers.
      However this does bear more of a read.
      For instance, I learn that Jessica Cecil is ‘Chief Complaints Editor’. I was unaware of this lady, and this role. In fact, what is it? I had thought that Hugs Boaden was an Editor in charge of complaints, as she has been slammed for her ‘special email to nowhere’ brag on that.
      Is Ms. Cecil a replacement? Or is it another BBC mega-£ parallel universe number, where each can claim it’s the other’s job, or fault, in case of any challenge or cock-up? And by BBC rules, if no one is responsible, accountability cannot exist and it all goes away.
      ‘Last night, the BBC said that all the executives had permission for their second jobs. ‘
      Did ‘the BBC’ mention from whom? Or is this FOI exempted? Are we to be treated to another PAC round where no one can actually say, or remember?
      These execs, from Patten up, can clearly not do one job properly, so how the heck are they allowed to do any others?
      The current 2 comments show a certain polarisation, too.

      Keep the bad news flowing. Keep building up public resent,ment at the BBC licence tax.

      From the article it looks as though John Whittindale’s Commons committee will start reviewing the whole justification for the BBC licence tax early next year, which will lead directly to examining alternatives such as subscription. This was NOT the climate in the Commons when the last Royal Charter was being held – people like David Elstein was preaching in the wilderness..

      Hopefully, the groundwork is steadily being laid for some radical changes – and far fewer of the public will leap to the blind defence of the BBC.

      Excessive pay at the BBC continues to bubble along as an issue, the Lonely Planet £80 million debacle looks likely to break wide open, Savile-stuff drags on. The National Audit Office have got their teeth into the BBC big-time, they were never allowed near it before, so we can expect the bad news to keep coming.

      The BBC’s hubris as epitomised by Patten deserves a Nemesis. The fly in the ointment is that if Labour wins in 2015 they will let the BBC carry on regardless as a main trumpet for the left.

    Wait, what happened to the reluctant, deeply thoughtful warrior?

    Obama says Iran shouldn’t misinterpret U.S. response to Syria

    President Obama declared that the United States is still prepared to act militarily to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons despite the decision to pursue a diplomatic deal and not strike Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons.

    He also acknowledged that his approach to the Syria crisis has been uneven, but defended it as producing the right results.

    Obama spoke in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” taped Friday before the United States and Russia agreed on a plan to bring Syrian chemical weapons under international control in order to avoid military strikes.

    But Obama said Iran should not interpret the diplomatic response — coming after he threatened to use strikes — as suggesting that the United States wouldn’t attack Iran to stop the development of nuclear weapons.

    “I think what the Iranians understand is that the nuclear issue is a far larger issue for us than the chemical weapons issue, that the threat . . . against Israel that a nuclear Iran poses is much closer to our core interests,” Obama said. “My suspicion is that the Iranians recognize they shouldn’t draw a lesson that we haven’t struck [Syria] to think we won’t strike Iran.”

    Better hope that Mark Mardell’s witterings aren’t translated into Farsi, or the mullahs won’t fall for this new round of saber-rattling. It seems like the President makes these threats about Iran’s nuclear ambitions almost as often, and about as effective, as He’s “pivoted” to job creation.

    Report: Syria transported chemical weapons to Iraq

    Lebanese daily says 20 trucks crossed into Iraq last week, bearing equipment and material used for manufacturing chemical weapons.

    Syria has moved 20 trucks worth of equipment and material used for the manufacturing of chemical weapons into neighboring Iraq, the Lebanese daily Al-Mustaqbal reported on Sunday.

    The government in Baghdad has denied allegations that it is helping the Syrian government conceal chemical stockpiles.

    It doesn’t have to come from the very top for this to happen, though.

    The newspaper reported that the trucks crossed the boundary separating Syria with Iraq over the course of Thursday and Friday. Border guards did not inspect the contents of the trucks, which raises suspicions that they contained illicit cargo, according to Al-Mustaqbal.

    The paper is known for its anti-Syrian position, true, and they go on to quote a general from the allegedly pro-Western Free Syrian Army, hardly a trustworthy source. But don’t be shocked if it turns out that Assad magically has no unapproved weapons by the time the sainted weapons inspectors show up. It all sounds familiar somehow.

    Obama Rejects Criticism of Shifting Syria Policy: ‘I’m Less Concerned About Style Points’

    President Obama says a tumultuous month as commander in chief, when his policy toward Syria took a number of unexpected turns, may not have looked “smooth and disciplined and linear,” but it’s working.

    “I’m less concerned about style points. I’m much more concerned with getting the policy right,” Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview on “This Week.”

    Obama said his surprise announcement on Aug. 31 that he would seek congressional authorization for U.S. military strikes against Syria, then the abrupt cancellation of a vote this week and pursuit of a diplomatic plan led by the Russians, has put the country “definitely in a better position.”

    Behold Mardell’s next blog post written for him.

    Obama said he is optimistic but cautious that Putin will be a reliable partner.

    “I don’t think that Mr. Putin has the same values that we do,” Obama said in response to Putin’s controversial op-ed.

    “I welcome him being involved. I welcome him saying, ‘I will take responsibility for pushing my client, the Assad regime, to deal with these chemical weapons,’” he said. “This is not the Cold War. This is not a contest between the United States and Russia.”

    If Russia wants influence in Syria, Obama added, “that doesn’t hurt our interests.”

    Mardell will probably see this as more of His thoughtfulness and wisdom. And I can’t wait to see him explain this:

    The president suggested that he even sees a potential role for Iran in helping to stabilize Syria, despite reports that Iranian fighters have been streaming into the country to support the Assad regime.

    Obama confirmed publicly for the first time on “This Week” that he has exchanged letters with new Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, who has vowed to act forcefully to prevent any Western military intervention in Syria, using “all efforts to prevent it.”

    Obama said he believes his threat to use U.S. military force in Syria, and subsequent pause to pursue diplomacy, sends a signal to the Iranian regime in the ongoing dispute over its contested nuclear program.

    “What they should draw from this lesson is that there is the potential of resolving these issues diplomatically,” Obama said.

    Interesting audience reactions in Paul Sinha’s Citizen Test.
    He mentions various UK newspapers and tries to get the audience to indicate which ones they read by shouting out. When he gets to the Daily Mail there is a muted hiss and apparently one person behind him is brave enough to respond. Eventually he gets to the Guardian which gets the greatest response of all.
    At least he acknowledges that the audience response is completely at variance to actual sales and he closes the act with the ‘joke’ that one in ten of the copies of the Guardian are bought by members of the audience.
    Sadly he was probably right.

    He recognises that Christians there are increasingly the victims of violent Muslims of both sides of the Civil War in the following poignant video clip; but he somewhat politically tones down that reality by merely concluding, abstractly, that a ‘religious mosaic’ is ‘breaking up.’

    The BBC-NUJ headline is amended, in brackets, to accord with the reality:-

    “[Christian] Syrians no longer trust neighbours as ‘religious mosaic’ breaks up [in this Islamic jihad violence]”
