	BBC NEWS \| Middle East \| Saddam aides 'to die this week'
		This is despite an appeal from the new UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, that they should not go ahead.
		UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who had been criticised for saying nothing on the issue, has now joined the critics.
		Italy this week began a diplomatic push to have the issue taken up by the UN General Assembly.

		The BBC Radio Player allows users to listen to most broadcasts from the BBC's various radio networks live, and for 7 days after they are broadcast, via streaming media; some video content is also streamed, particularly high-profile news and sport events.
		More recently, the BBC has been experimenting with MP3 downloads and podcasting facilities for an increasing number of radio shows, with a high level of success; a less publicised trial of Ogg Vorbis streams for certain programmes was less successful, and has now been discontinued.
		This is due to the BBC's funding, derived primarily from compulsory television licence fees from UK residents.

	UK Singles Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To add to the confusion, the chart used by the BBC on their popular shows Pick of the Pops and Top Of The Pops was actually calculated by averaging out all the others, and so didn't agree with any of them, and was prone to tied positions.
		For the first week's combined chart, however, the impact of this doubling was not readily apparent at the top of the chart, although a few singles in the middle positions benefited.
		In the week including the Queen's massive jubilee celebration at Windsor in June 1977, the Sex Pistols were due to release their second single, "God Save The Queen", expressing great contempt for royalty.

	BBC Radio 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BBC Radio 1 is a British radio station, specialising in popular music aimed at the 16-24 age bracket.
		In the 1970s and early 1980s it was allowed to take over Radio 2's FM transmitters for a few hours per week, most notably for the Top 40 Singles Chart on Sunday afternoons and for some evening programmes including John Peel's show.
		Listeners rebelled as the first new DJs to be introduced represented a crossover from other parts of the BBC media empire with Emma Freud and Danny Baker.

	IsraelNow - News - November 3, 2002 - BBC's Blunder of the Week (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Also this week, in an article on internal Israeli politics, BBC inexplicably threw in a photo of an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian in handcuffs, with the bizarre caption: "The situation in the West Bank and Gaza will not be solved by this." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2379217.stm
		The problem is that BBC is not a private enterprise, and is therefore not subject to normal consumer scrutiny and pressure.
		This week the British government announced that for the first time, BBC could be fined if it breaches its duties on standards.

	Scotsman.com News - UK - BBC staff in strike threat over job cuts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The BBC’s new director general, Mark Thompson, is preparing to announce the results of a major review, which could lead to as many as 6,500 jobs being lost across the country.
		BBC chiefs believe that, in an age when more viewers have access to a large number of channels, the corporation needs to argue it is delivering value for money to justify its existence.
		The BBC’s editorial controls were criticised by the Hutton report that led to the resignation of Thompson’s predecessor Greg Dyke earlier this year.

	MediaGuardian.co.uk \| Media \| BBC shies away from Bush story
		BBC programme editors turned lukewarm on a claim by a BBC2 programme that George Bush believed God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan after a strong denial by the White House.
		As the BBC release was embargoed until 10.30pm yesterday, it had been expected the story was being saved for the corporation to break and would first appear on BBC2's Newsnight.
		The lukewarm response by other BBC outlets to a BBC News exclusive in the wake of a denial by the US government is likely to dismay the new head of television news, Peter Horrocks.

	CNN.com - Pressure on Hoon over Kelly chat - Jul. 28, 2003

		The row between the BBC and government continued during the weekend bringing into focus the government's review of the BBC charter, up for renewal in the autumn.
		BBC Chairman Gavyn Davies, who continued to stand by the reporter Gilligan, accused ministers of threatening the broadcaster's independence in revenge for its reports on the Iraq dossier.

	AEGiS-BBC: UK HIV rates at record levels
		Official figures to be published later this week are expected to show a sharp rise in the number of new cases.
		The government is expected to launch a new campaign shortly aimed at encouraging more people to practise safe sex and to cut the number of sexually transmitted infections, which are at record levels.

	MediaGuardian.co.uk \| Media \| BBC 'should close websites'
		The government has ordered the BBC to redefine the remit of its online services after an independent report into its internet activities said many of the corporation's websites were too commercial and should be closed.
		Mr Graf said in his report there was evidence that BBC websites reduced competition but little evidence to suggest they had a negative impact on the whole of the internet market.
		In an attempt to persuade the government that the BBC was not "completely undermining" its commercial rivals, Ashley Highfield, the BBC head of new media, commissioned a report from KMPG, claiming its impact on commercial rivals amounted to just £4m a year.

	BORR Terrorism News: Secret terror courts considered
		Sources told BBC News that one possibility was a model similar to the Special Immigrations Appeals Tribunal, which sits in secret and keeps the details of charges from those facing them.
		Defendants are represented by special advocates, who have access to the evidence but do not brief their 'clients' on the details.
		Police and lawyers are also meeting this week to discuss the possibility of charging some outspoken Islamist radicals with treason.

		He told BBC News Online the ranch is a soldier's dream, catering for almost every type of combat situation.

	BBC's Double Standard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Mohammed Dief, senior Hamas terrorist, is known to have masterminded the murders of American citizens in Israel, including the gruesome 1994 kidnap-murder of Nachshon Wachsman, and the drive-by shooting murder of 19-year-old Yitzhak Weinstock in 1993.
		In response to the flood of e-mails from HonestReporting readers, BBC admitted that, indeed, there is an arbitrary double-standard being applied.
		It has long been the policy of the domestic service to refer to terrorists in Northern Ireland of any religious persuasion as such but the policy of the World Service is not to refer to anyone in those terms.

	backstage.bbc.co.uk :: Ideas :: what's in radio 4's 8pm slot this week?
		When I lived in Europe, all I had to do was tune in to Radio 4 at 8pm and chances are I'd hear something good.
		But the concept of 'slots' isn't reflected in the organisation of BBC Radio websites; nowhere on the Radio 4 website is there a link to "listen to the 8pm slot".
		It envisage a simple search interface where you define your slots and are given a (bookmarkable) search results page that lists this week's programing for those slots, with links to the audio file when available.

		The BBC journalist was invited to give evidence for a second time following the appearance of David Kelly, the Ministry of Defence microbiologist who admitted having an unauthorised meeting with Gilligan before the controversial broadcast which contained the allegations about Mr Campbell.
		Following this afternoon's meeting, the BBC hit back furiously with a statement denying that Gilligan had changed his story in any way and accusing the committee of playing politics.

		The BBC was facing a clash with the Metropolitan Police last night after refusing to hand over videotapes to prosecutors investigating two Muslim clerics suspected of inciting violence.
		The CPS has considered bringing a number of charges against the two, including incitement to treason, solicitation of murder and incitement to withhold information known to be of use to police.
		But last night the BBC showed little sign it was prepared to give up the tapes without a fight.
