Quand la bataille des ondes se menait en musique : la chanson des V.

« Le 17 juin 1940, dans un discours radiodiffusé, le maréchal Pétain annonce sa demande d’armistice aux Allemands. Le lendemain, le général de Gaulle lance son appel à la résistance depuis les studios de la BBC, à Londres. Dans une France divisée en deux zones, l’une occupée par les Allemands, l’autre sous l’autorité du gouvernement de Vichy, les nouvelles autorités placent toutes les sources d’information sous contrôle. De chaque côté de la Manche, la maîtrise des ondes devient un enjeu crucial pour la France libre comme pour Vichy et les Allemands. Une guerre des ondes franco-française s’engage alors. »

Infiltration dans les écoles où on enchaîne les élèves

Quand je rencontre Ahmed, il est enchaîné dans une pièce, tout seul. Son corps porte les marques des coups qu’il a reçus. Il ne sait pas quel âge il a, mais il doit avoir environ 10 ans.

L’école dans laquelle je le trouve est l’un des 23 établissements d’enseignement islamique du #Soudan, connus sous le nom de #khalwas, que j’ai filmé de façon secrète sur une période de deux ans, à partir de début 2018.

J’ai vu et filmé de nombreux enfants, dont certains n’avaient que cinq ans, sévèrement battus, régulièrement enchaînés et emprisonnés sans nourriture ni eau par les cheikhs, ou les religieux, responsables de ces écoles. Certains des enfants qui n’apparaissent pas dans notre documentaire m’ont dit qu’ils avaient été violés ou avaient subi d’autres formes d’abus sexuels.

Il y a près de 30 000 khalwas dans tout le pays, selon le gouvernement soudanais. Ils reçoivent de l’argent du gouvernement et de donateurs privés, provenant tant du Soudan que du monde entier.

’Sex For Grades’: How The BBC Exposed A Scandal In West Africa : Goats and Soda : NPR

“I’m a 28-year-old who never got to finish school because of one thing,” says Kiki Mordi. “It wasn’t because I wasn’t brilliant or anything — I was a high flyer when I was growing up. But I didn’t even finish. All because of sexual harassment.”

According to Mordi, one of her professors withheld her exam results for two semesters because she refused his sexual advances, leading her to drop out of school and give up her dream of becoming a doctor. Mordi tried to report her sexual harassment at the time but says, “It was clear nothing was going to be done.”

“That’s robbery,” she says. “If there’s any one place in the world girls should feel safe, it’s school.”

Mordi pursued journalism instead, and her most recent project — the BBC Africa Eye documentary Sex for Grades — tackles sexual harassment at West African universities. Mordi and her team interviewed dozens of current and former students about their experiences with sexual harassment.

Their research culminated in an hourlong film that shows Mordi and three other undercover reporters using hidden cameras over the course of three months to film lecturers at the regionally prominent University of Lagos and University of Ghana. In the footage, lecturers harass, proposition and attempt to blackmail Mordi and her fellow reporters in closed-door meetings.

The documentary aims to open the door for conversation about a topic that Olabukunola Williams, executive director of the Nigerian nonprofit Education as a Vaccine, says is “pervasive in Nigeria.”

Sexual harassment at universities, she says, “is like an open secret, it’s crazy. Everybody has a story.”

BBC series falsely portrays Turkish beggar as Syrian refugee - Daily Sabah
▻https://www.dailysabah.com/turkey/2019/01/22/bbc-series-falsely-portrays-turkish-beggar-as-syrian-refugee

https://iadsb.tmgrup.com.tr/fa3099/645/344/0/9/646/353?u=https://idsb.tmgrup.com.tr/2019/01/22/bbc-series-falsely-portrays-turkish-beggar-as-syrian-refugee-1548158701767.jpg

A Turkish journalist’s investigation into doubtful scenarios portrayed in a BBC documentary series has revealed that a woman interviewed in Istanbul’s Aksaray who was portrayed as a Syrian refugee from Aleppo is actually a Turkish beggar.

Hürriyet journalist Ilker Sezer was prompted to investigate suspicious scenes in the episode on Turkey after former journalist Claas Relotius of Germany’s Der Spiegel confessed that news he published about immigrant children in Turkey was false.

In the BBC documentary series called “Sex in Strange Places,” aired on BBCThree, a woman named Fatma is described as a 35-year-old Syrian who fled Aleppo by paying human smugglers at the Turkish border and was forced to resort to begging and prostitution after failing to receive “any support” in Turkey.

BBC presenter Stacey Dooley claimed Fatma was forced to prostitute herself because she couldn’t earn enough by begging during the day.

Sezer, however, upon investigating the story, was told by a tradesman in Aksaray that he knew the woman to be a beggar from Harran in Turkey’s southeastern Şanlıurfa province.

In the episode, Dooley slams what she calls “racist” treatment against Fatma, claiming Turkey has not given Syrian refugees any support or rights.

“This treatment is because this woman is Syrian. This is very racist behavior. Unacceptable,” Dooley says after her film team is denied permission to film in the Vakıflar Çarşısı marketplace.

But when Sezer went to Vakıflar Çarşısı, he heard a different story. One longtime tradesman, Veysel Gül, said he has seen the woman, who he estimated to be about 50 years old, at the marketplace for 15 or 20 years. He said she speaks Turkish, Kurdish and Arabic, and spoke to the BBC for money.

Sezer also talked to Ishan Ünal, a tradesman shown in the BBC episode. Ünal also said Fatma was immediately recognized as the Turkish beggar, even with her face covered in the documentary. He said the team was not allowed to film in the marketplace for the sole reason that they did not obtain permission to do so.

The producer of the BBC documentary, Julia Rooke, said that the woman who claimed to be a prostitute in Aksaray was an ethnic Turkmen, and didn’t have any identity documents because of her illegal flight from Aleppo to Hatay. She went onto claim that a local had helped find the supposedly Syrian woman in an effort to pin the blame on someone else.

In the 1980s, the BBC explored the world of computing in The Computer Literacy Project. They commissioned a home computer (the BBC Micro) and taught viewers how to program.
The Computer Literacy Project chronicled a decade of information technology and was a milestone in the history of computing in Britain, helping to inspire a generation of coders.

In the wake of the recent Windrush scandal, many people have been discussing what it means to be British in the post-Imperial era.

When that famous ship dropped anchor at Tilbury Docks in 1948 it heralded a new era for both the UK and the BBC, as the Corporation rose to the challenge of representing a new and unfamiliar audience.

Now, seven decades on, BBC History has launched the fourth release from its #Oral_History Collection, showing the way staff at the BBC created #programmes for a diverse and multi-cultural audience following World War II. The results are interesting and often surprising.

Created in partnership with the #University_of_Sussex, 100 Voices that Made the BBC: People, Nation, Empire looks to shed new light on what is a complex and sometimes highly contentious subject.

John Escolme, BBC History Manager, explains: “What we’re doing is bringing some of the BBC’s hidden treasures into the public realm, including some of the 600 interviews with former members of staff, few of which have been available until recently.”

There are a number of fascinating case studies looking at this concept of #dual-identity, including Una Marson. Una was the first black producer at the BBC, way back in 1941. The prejudices she faced at that time are examined in a number of her documents and interviews, as well as comments showing the high esteem she was held in by some of her superiors.

Reflecting the #LGBTQ+ audience

As well as the subject of #race, 100 Voices looks at the efforts made by the #BBC to engage with people from the LGBTQ+ community: from the initial, church-dominated discussions on #radio in the 1950s, to tentative efforts to document the lives of gay men on #TV in the 1960s, right up to the bold lifestyle programming of the 1990s.

Don’t panic! The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is back | The Guardian
▻https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/feb/27/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-bbc-radio-4

In 1985, #Douglas_Adams said the #BBC’s view of the first series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was like Macbeth’s attitude to murder: “Initial doubts, followed by cautious enthusiasm, then greater and greater alarm at the sheer scale of the undertaking.” Those days are, however, long gone and the BBC is marking the 40th anniversary of Adams’ ground-breaking creation in style.

The original cast has been reunited to record a new radio series of the intergalactic comedy that, from small beginnings in 1978 on Radio 4, grew into a juggernaut that spawned a TV series, a Disney film, a much-loved series of books, several stage shows and even a video game.

What makes the performance all the more poignant is that they are playing a scene written by Adams but never previously recorded. The new series combines unpublished material, dug out of Adams’ notebooks by archivist and superfan Kevin Jon Davies, and newer plotlines drawn from And Another Thing, Eoin Colfer’s book continuing the saga, which was commissioned by the Adams estate after the author’s sudden death at the age of just 49 in 2001.

The 40th-anniversary series starts on BBC Radio 4 on 8 March.

At the height of the expenses scandal in 2009, a little-known BBC news presenter made the headlines by revealing her £92,000-a-year salary on air and getting into a public spat. Carrie Gracie told a Labour peer that, unlike the MPs charging for “chandeliers and manure”, she never even claimed for telephone calls “because I understand what public service is about”.

Gracie returned to the headlines last week when she resigned as China editor and accused her employer of illegal pay discrimination. A dispute simmering since last summer, when publication of BBC pay scales first revealed how few of the best-paid stars were women, boiled over and led to days of outrage and mockery over the BBC and its treatment of women.
