    And...

    So all other world channels reporting on Ukraine mention the EU...? I doubt it.

    What's the supposed connection between the EU not being mentioned, and the BBC?

    And why would ABC mention the EU anyway?

    The whole point of view of showing other channels' news is so you can understand their perspective. As others have said, it's not the BBC's role to censor other channels' content. What's right or wrong, balanced or biased is up to the viewers to decide,

    But the EU is an important factor in what's going on in Ukraine.

    NTSC has a lower number of lines than PAL. Hence the degraded effect. NTSC is 720x480 when PAL is 720x576.

    Maybe they should show Russia Today stuff.
    Apparantly the arms dealer in a US prison, Yaroshenko's mother threatened to set herself on fire a few weeks ago.
    And now he is simply being left to die. (has a temperature).
    And whether he was kidnapped as RT stuff claims is open to debate.

    They are now outraged that ECG and ultrasound scanning have allegedly shown no serious health problems but no Russia doctor is allowed to confirm he is OK.

    The weird thing about RT is that much of the time it sounds North Korea style. It simply tells you that he was 'kidnapped', not that it is an opinion. No wonder some people in Ukraine don't take kindly in being told what to do by Russia.

    It is not just one factor, every loony anti-government movement has joined in the riots which means is it is impossible for the government to find anyone to negotiate with.

    It was a perfectly fine THREE-minute report on what things were like AT THAT SCENE. And Europe WAS mentioned; it wasn't necessary to say the "EU."

    You were watching a video feed on a website. If you had been watching on an HD TV in the US, the video would have looked better. I certainly haven't seen any BBC News video on my computer that looks better than that.
