8:00 pm
the headlines today have not been about celebrating the commonwealth, which is what the royal family would have hoped, but they have been about this issue over this mother's day photograph. it looks like there have been significant alterations. you can see misaligned zips, you can see unusual hands, you can see blurriness and the background not really making any sense in terms of mismatched lines. catherine saying that she has been doing her own photo editing and it's not worked or whatever is a very good idea to defuse the situation. the princess of wales says sorry for editing a family photo that looked so fake it was pulled by the news agencies. the princess was seen with her husband this afternoon driving on the windsor estate. but does her explanation solve
8:01 pm
the problem for the palace, and what does it tell us in the age of deep fakes? also on the programme, we are going to hear tonight from one of the msf doctors who is fresh back from gaza, on her experience of operating under bombardment. and the biggest nato exercises since the cold war. what are they rehearsing, and how do they keep it secret from the russians? good evening. the picture released by kensington palace on mothering sunday was supposed to put paid to some of the madder conspiracy theories about the princess of wales you would find if you spend any time on social media. instead it has only added to them. last night, five picture agencies refused to use the photo because it had been doctored. the daily mail today listed 16 issues with that picture, from the leaves on the trees, princess charlotte's hand not being in line with her sleeve to the pattern on prince george's jumper. this morning, the princess was forced to admit via x
8:02 pm
that she had indeed changed it. analysis suggests that the photograph was taken on friday. the first save was made at 9.51ipm on friday night, with the second at 9.39am on saturday morning. nick eardley at bbc verify has been investigating. a number of people have noticed some discrepancies in this image and once you see them, they are actually quite hard to ignore. have a look here at this bit, princess charlotte's sleeve. as you can see, these bits here don't match up. the same is true if you look at princess catherine's zip. part of it is here and part of it is here, it doesn't match up in this picture either. and
8:03 pm
then finally, this is a handy, princess catherine's hand going around the waist of one of the princess and it is blurry. there are a few other examples like this which are a bit less obvious. but it was people noticing these issues that led to a number of picture agencies removing this image last night, saying that it shouldn't be used. that is clearly not the normal. mick that is clearly not the normal. nick eardley there _ that is clearly not the normal. nick eardley there were _ that is clearly not the normal. nick eardley there were some of the analysis on the photograph. —— with some of the analysis. well, the princess of wales was seen today. she was photographed leaving windsor castle with her husband prince william as he travelled to westminster abbey for the commonwealth day service. the princess did not attend the service. but at least that photograph will dispel some of the more lurid conspiracy theories that are out there. joining me now is james middleton — a photoshop expert — and former bbc royal correspondentjennie bond. it is lovely to see you, jenny. i

8:06 pm
is that and what did you pick up? it basically looks for discrepancies in compression so you if you have two images and they both had slightly different compression rates, in other words, the algorithms used to reduce the size of the image file, this stands out a mile, so you will have this matrix of pixels and the ela will actually, the error level analysis, will actually cause anything which has a different compression level to stand out any different colour, so it which will be like an orange compared to the blue background so yes, it does highlight anything which is extremely different about the image. were just be clear, you don't think that an image from an earlier photograph has been put into this image? photograph has been put into this imaue? ~ , , photograph has been put into this imaue? ~ , ., photograph has been put into this image?_ know. i photograph has been put into this image?_ know, soj photograph has been put into this l image?_ know, so is image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of — image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of thing _ image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of thing you _ image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of thing you can - image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of thing you can do - image? absolutely not. know, so is it the sort of thing you can do on . it the sort of thing you can do on your smart android phone? is that the sort of thing? is it a capability that some others have on the newer issue bones? yes.

8:11 pm
put out there paradoxically in this age of deepfakes does show that actually come legacy media, within mainstream media, there is a lot of work that now goes on into these images before they are put out there willy—nilly. you might absolutely huge amounts. i'vei willy-nilly. you might absolutely huge amounts. i've— willy-nilly. you might absolutely huge amounts. i've i hope i'm not sidestepping _ huge amounts. i've i hope i'm not sidestepping what _ huge amounts. i've i hope i'm not sidestepping what you _ huge amounts. i've i hope i'm not sidestepping what you are - huge amounts. i've i hope i'm not sidestepping what you are asking | sidestepping what you are asking here but one thing i noticed about the image in particular is that both charlotte and, i think it is loopy, they both have their fingers crossed which is a bit of an anomaly. the reason why i think that is is because just like old family photographs, the children are messing around, and because they are messing around, and because they are messing around, and because they are messing around, gathering then has to doctor the image but we all do it and every photo that goes through scrutiny to be put into magazines is to be doctored in some way, whether it is cropping, improving the light, the colour saturation, or in many cases, removing blemishes from faces or even slimming body parts, which there is no evidence for anything

8:13 pm
home office is dysfunctional. he was sacked for leaking information he said was inaccurate and he said he paid the price for speaking out about border concerns. anyone over the age of a0 is being urged to get a blood pressure check as the nhs once there are millions of people who don't realise they have dangerously high levels and this can put a strain on the heart and lead to conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. you are life with bbc news. —— you are live. palestinians began fasting for the muslim holy month of ramadan on monday with cease—fire talks at a standstill, hunger worsening across the gaza strip and no end in sight to the five—month—old war between israel and hamas. a ship with aid for gaza has not yet left cyprus. it has faced repeated delays. it is carrying 200 tonnes of food and medical supplies. but, without a working port, it's not clear yet where the ship will actually dock — or how its cargo will be distributed
8:14 pm
within the territory. over the weekend, joe biden said any israeli assault on rafah where 1.5 million have been sheltering would, for him, be "a red line" and said that the suffering of those in gaza was at "front of mind" as ramadan begins. but in an interview with the news site politico, prime minister netenyahu said this. "you know, i have a red line. you know what the red line is? "that oct 7th doesn't happen again. "never happens again." our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville is in lanraca, he is watching the aid operation from cyprus and he sent us this report. there is no functioning port in gaza. the israeli offensive, the bombardment has devastated infrastructure there, so there is nowhere for this aid to land. so the charity involved, world central kitchen, has hired heavy lifting equipment, is moving huge boulders, and is building its own pier, its own jetty out into the mediterranean to get ready to receive aid. the problem is that thatjetty
8:15 pm
may not be ready yet. thejourney from larnaca, where i am now, to gaza, it usually takes about 15 hours, but is is expected to take this boat and the barge it is towing about 50 hours, much longer because of the cargo and the nature of the vessel. the conservative mp alicia kearns, who's chair of the foreign affairs committee, has just returned from a trip to the middle east. she says not enough aid is getting into gaza — and she had some harsh words for the israeli government. so they have rules that seem to change on a daily basis. so on one day we heard nothing was allowed to be brought in in metal containers. now you can understand that. i am absolutely opposed to anything going into gaza that could be dual use. for example, there were solar lamps that somebody sent. now, those, of course, could be used to like tunnels. those shouldn't be going in. but on one day it was no metal. you must send things in wooden carts.
8:16 pm
the next day wooden carts were sent and they were rejected. there is no consistency. now, when i raised this with the israeli spokesperson and i raised it on social media and he came back to me, he had to delete his tweet where he said that the israelis were happy to facilitate an additional 100 trucks a day. he claimed that the un had said that they did not want shipments to happen on a saturday. he could provide no evidence for it. the british government, lord cameron, has been very clear that israel has the ability to allow more aid to get in there, the ability to switch water back on. that is a choice that they need to make. a lot of the israeli operations in gaza have been focused in and around the hospitals. a lot of the israeli operations in gaza have been focused in and around the hospitals, which makes life extremely difficult for the doctors and nurss. dr bisen gaskell is an nhs anaesthetist at queen elizabeth hospital here in south london. she hasjust come back from gaza where she has been working with the charity doctors without borders. thank you for being here. thank you for havin: thank you for being here. thank you for having me- _ thank you for being here. thank you for having me. why _ thank you for being here. thank you for having me. why did _ thank you for being here. thank you for having me. why did you - thank you for being here. thank you for having me. why did you go - thank you for being here. thank you for having me. why did you go miss| for having me. why did you go miss ever since the _ for having me. why did you go miss ever since the conflict _ for having me. why did you go miss ever since the conflict began, - for having me. why did you go miss ever since the conflict began, i - for having me. why did you go miss ever since the conflict began, i was| ever since the conflict began, i was closely following the context and i was horrified at what was going on and it increasingly became worse and hearing the stories of children

having procedures done to them without anaesthesia, it was just horrifying. it was inconceivable to even imagine. it is so barbaric that i think most people think now that this cannot possibly be true and i had some sleepless nights over this. i remember going into thousand and eight in the middle of the war and you go from the egyptian side where there is order and some semblance of normal life into rougher on the gaza side, what did that feel like, that moment? ., , , ., , moment? you 'ust set it on the spot, ou enter moment? you just set it on the spot, you enter gaza _ moment? you just set it on the spot, you enter gaza and _ moment? you just set it on the spot, you enter gaza and the _ moment? you just set it on the spot, you enter gaza and the reality - you enter gaza and the reality changes and you have a sense of chaos and you realise that what you see, the bombardment, the sound of bombing, the poverty, the crowd of people —— into rafah on the gaza

hello. it's been a grey and drab day for many — lots of cloud overhead, some mist and murk, spots of drizzle, quite a chilly feel for some as well. it is set to turn milder over the next few days as south—westerly winds develop. with that, there will be spells of rain, but some sunny spells in between and actually in the sunshine, i think it will start to feel fairly warm. on the earlier satellite picture, you can see cloud rolling in from the atlantic. that's our next weather system. we'll see rain splashing across northern ireland by the end of the evening and then some of that rain into parts of wales, western england, south west scotland. by the end of the night, some further rain across the far north of scotland, particularly shetland. in between, lots of cloud, somemist and murk. some mist and murk. any clear spells will allow it to get perhaps just a little bit chilly, but temperatures generally holding up quite nicely. so, into tomorrow, here comes our next frontal system, outbreaks of rain. and actually you can follow this weather front back out
