now, whilst we have been on air, a new documentary has been broadcasting here in the uk featuring prince harry. it's the first time the duke of sussex has spoken publically since winning his legal case against mirror group newspapers in december. in trailers for the documentary, prince harry suggests that his legal battle with the tabloid press became a "central piece" in the ongoing rift with his family. joining us now is royal expert victoria howard. so it started roughly half an hour ago. what have you heard? what is the sense that we've been getting from prince harry? so the sense that we've been getting from prince harry?— the sense that we've been getting from prince harry? 50 prince harry features in — from prince harry? 50 prince harry features in this _ from prince harry? 50 prince harry features in this documentary - features in this documentary alongside many others who claim to be victims of phone hacking and are going through this legal process. what we have heard in the half hour that has aired so far is that this really was for him a difficult

period. he looks back at some of the headlines that were written about him, for example, when he and chelsey davey were together, when he was accused of taking drugs when he was accused of taking drugs when he was accused of taking drugs when he was a teenager will stop it does seem to be quite an emotional time. so i think one thing that has really come through quite strongly through this documentary is the emotional toll that can be taken through such an invasion of privacy, which, of course, the courts have agreed with by granting him the compensation. whenever prince harry speaks, obviously people are interested in how any sense of his relationship with his family, and it was clear in the run—up that he largely puts the issue with the papers is behind part of the rift which is ongoing with members of his family. has he expanded upon that? what has he said? 50 expanded upon that? what has he said? �* , expanded upon that? what has he said? �*, ., , said? so there's a few things in that. he said? so there's a few things in that he says — said? so there's a few things in that. he says it's _ said? so there's a few things in that. he says it's a _ said? so there's a few things in that. he says it's a central- said? so there's a few things in | that. he says it's a central piece to the rift with his family and if we look back to his book, he

actually says that it was one of the first things that both william and the king asked about over his wife megan and how he was doing when she seemed to be quite annoyed about, so thatis seemed to be quite annoyed about, so that is something i think is a point of contention between both harry and megan and the royal family because they see the press as a necessary evil. they are there to report on the royal�*s work report on what the monarchy is doing and help contextualize and give it its place in society any of the good that it's doing, the charity work, for example. harry very much sees it as an invasion of privacy that they don't have barriers, the tabloid press of course, we are talking about, i think is very open to the idea of a free press that reports on things accurately. but for me, i think until they see eye to eye on that issue, it is going to be a number of years before we see even the smallest steps of kind of coming

together again and working that out, which i think most people who pay attention to the royal family would like to see. it's a shame to see the family split in that way. just briefl , family split in that way. just briefly. as _ family split in that way. just briefly, as in _ family split in that way. just briefly, as in most - family split in that way. just briefly, as in most times that prince davey harry is interviewed, his mother is very much part of his story. his mother is very much part of his sto . , ,, , , his mother is very much part of his sto. ,,, .,, story. yes. she says that she motivates — story. yes. she says that she motivates him. _ story. yes. she says that she motivates him. one - story. yes. she says that she motivates him. one of- story. yes. she says that she motivates him. one of the i story. yes. she says that she - motivates him. one of the earliest victims of hacking, he believes, in the early 1990s, that is something that she will not see come to fruition, whether that is a success in court, so for him, that is a big driver. ~' ., in court, so for him, that is a big driver. ~ ., , ., ., ., driver. ok, i know you are going to keep watching- _ driver. ok, i know you are going to keep watching. thank— driver. ok, i know you are going to keep watching. thank you - driver. ok, i know you are going to keep watching. thank you for - driver. ok, i know you are going to keep watching. thank you for now. i here in the uk, the prime minister has had a busy first week back in the house of commons. he has had to flex his muscles — suspending seven labour mps from the party after they voted against the government on the benefit cap. and face his first bout of prime minister's questions at the despatch box. and today, he launched the first part of his great british energy plan — british sea bed owned

by the crown estate will be used to help build wind farms in plans aimed at making the uk more self reliant for energy, a plan he says will lead to lower energy bills. this government isn't driven by ideology but by our determination to deliver for the british ideology but by our determination to deliverfor the british people. so we will be pro—business, pro—worker and pro—wealth creation for all. claire, you know sir keir well as his former policy director. what did he want his first couple of weeks to look like, and how has he done? a big moment, a big build—up. i think he has shown real pace. it feels like he's really gripped this general election victory and you can see he is really relishing the role, actually. when i worked with him,

you could definitely tell he wanted to be prime minister. he didn't want to be prime minister. he didn't want to be prime minister. he didn't want to be leader of the opposition, even though that was the job he had at the time. he clearly wants to get things done in the country, and that mood is quite businesslike. it's purposeful. the real pace behind these announcements, i think, has been really kind of welcome and i think it will go down well. you can see that his own ratings have increased. also the tone at prime minister's questions between both starmer and rishi sunak was much more conciliatory, much more consensual over ukraine and i thought it held something to be quite welcome to people which is politicians working together to put the interests of the people first. in terms of the us coverage of the new uk prime minister, how well—known is he? what has been the reaction over there to sir keir

starmer?— reaction over there to sir keir starmer? ~ ., ., , ., starmer? well, unfortunately for keir starmer— starmer? well, unfortunately for keir starmer he _ starmer? well, unfortunately for keir starmer he made _ starmer? well, unfortunately for keir starmer he made a - starmer? well, unfortunately for keir starmer he made a brief, i starmer? well, unfortunately for i keir starmer he made a brief, well, an important appearance at the nato summit_ an important appearance at the nato summit and then pretty much from the press conference that joe summit and then pretty much from the press conference thatjoe biden held at the _ press conference thatjoe biden held at the end. _ press conference thatjoe biden held at the end, i don't think we would have _ at the end, i don't think we would have seen— at the end, i don't think we would have seen much of it in the us news. he's been_ have seen much of it in the us news. he's been overtaken by some quite staggering and historic events over here _ staggering and historic events over here on _ staggering and historic events over here on a — staggering and historic events over here. on a domestic level, diplomatic level, keir starmer and joe diplomatic level, keir starmer and joe biden— diplomatic level, keir starmer and joe biden are far more aligned in their_ joe biden are far more aligned in their views. they have cohesion when it comes _ their views. they have cohesion when it comes to— their views. they have cohesion when it comes to israel. it also when it comes_ it comes to israel. it also when it comes to — it comes to israel. it also when it comes to climate as well. it's one of the _ comes to climate as well. it's one of the things they share. but across from this— of the things they share. but across from this side of the atlantic, it's quite _ from this side of the atlantic, it's quite a _ from this side of the atlantic, it's quite a contrast to when we saw prime _ quite a contrast to when we saw prime minister's questions when it was keir— prime minister's questions when it was keir starmer against boris johnson — was keir starmer against boris johnson. you know, keir starmer is now dealing — johnson. you know, keir starmer is now dealing with a conservative party— now dealing with a conservative party that is really picking up the tatters _ party that is really picking up the tatters and is a shell of its former self _ tatters and is a shell of its former self it _ tatters and is a shell of its former self. it seems rishi sunak is already— self. it seems rishi sunak is already ready to go back to california and enjoy the rest of his life he _ california and enjoy the rest of his

have to think about how they then take their opposition when they have it two ways that are going to be perhaps more constructive. ok. perhaps more constructive. ok, thank ou, perhaps more constructive. ok, thank you. claire. — perhaps more constructive. ok, thank you, claire, thank— perhaps more constructive. ok, thank you, claire, thank you. _ perhaps more constructive. ok, thank you, claire, thank you. let's - perhaps more constructive. ok, thank you, claire, thank you. let's move i you, claire, thank you. let's move on something might remember. millions of us do. remember this? massive tech outages impacting airlines, businesses, offices... flights grounded, trains cancelled, hospital operating computers malfunctioning, credit cards not working. 8.5 million computers worldwide effected after a software update by the cybersecurity company crowdstrike impacted a number of microsoft systems. now crowdstrike is facing fresh backlash after giving staff and firms they work with a $10 ubereats voucher to say sorry. "to express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!" crowdstrike wrote.

but as you might expect, the gesture wasn't taken well online. one reddit user branded it an "absolute clown show" while another said, "i literally wanted to drive my car off a bridge this weekend and they bought me coffee. nice." it is hard to know how crowd strike could apologise properly, bearing in mind the mayhem around the world, but perhaps this wasn't the most sensible tactic. i but perhaps this wasn't the most sensible tactic.— but perhaps this wasn't the most sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a _ sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a fly — sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a fly on _ sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a fly on the _ sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a fly on the wall - sensible tactic. i would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when l have been a fly on the wall when whoever in the marketing department came up with $10 per trooper eats. don't get me wrong, i enjoy a new breeds if i haven't had time to cook, but $10, i was in new york when this happened and a lot of my team were in milwaukee covering the republican convention. and pretty much every single one of their flights was delayed in some way, whether it was by a couple of hours or a day later. their lives were

turned upside down. it was pure chaos. they were sent to different connections, sent different cities across the country, and it ruined people for a good few days. and it really did. it is very hard to apologise and come back from a situation like that, especially for a company like this, but there is such a —— they are such a huge company and for a $10 new breeds voucher, they might as well have just done absolutely nothing and just done absolutely nothing and just let it lie. that is more of a slap in the face. and i don't know if any of my team know that this is the offering, but i'm not sure many of them will be taking it.— of them will be taking it. claire, is it possible — of them will be taking it. claire, is it possible to _ of them will be taking it. claire, is it possible to make _ of them will be taking it. claire, is it possible to make a - is it possible to make a catastrophic situation worse? and if so have they done that? i’m catastrophic situation worse? and if so have they done that?— so have they done that? i'm sure they have- _ so have they done that? i'm sure they have. they've _ so have they done that? i'm sure they have. they've drawn - so have they done that? i'm sure l they have. they've drawn attention to the _ they have. they've drawn attention to the fact — they have. they've drawn attention to the fact that as a corporate, they— to the fact that as a corporate, theyiust — to the fact that as a corporate, theyjust seem to be giving them the equivalent— theyjust seem to be giving them the equivalent of a shrug to something which _ equivalent of a shrug to something which has — equivalent of a shrug to something which has clearly caused huge amounts _ which has clearly caused huge amounts of inconvenience to so many people _ amounts of inconvenience to so many people and _ amounts of inconvenience to so many people. and i think most of us will want _ people. and i think most of us will want to— people. and i think most of us will want to see — people. and i think most of us will want to see some accountability, but most _ want to see some accountability, but most importantly, what have we learned — most importantly, what have we learned from this to make sure that

this is bbc news.

welcome back to the context. let's just have a look at some life pictures they are at the white house. you can see the seats are being laid, the flowers being put in place, yes they are. there is due to be a meeting between prime minister netanyahu and kamala harris. we think probably in the next hour or so. we will bring that's, of course, as soon as it happens. but for the moment, it is time for the panel. now then, as we have been for the last hour or so, we arejoined by our panel. of course, the new prime

minister of the united kingdom, it is your time now to discuss what you want to discuss and what issues of the day you would like to bring up, and i think let's start first of all with you, claire, because you are thinking there has been a bounce and positivity in the uk.— positivity in the uk. yeah, who would have _ positivity in the uk. yeah, who would have thought _ positivity in the uk. yeah, who would have thought it, - positivity in the uk. yeah, who would have thought it, us i positivity in the uk. yeah, who would have thought it, us brits positivity in the uk. yeah, who i would have thought it, us brits who are not renowned for our optimism, we are apparently feeling a little bit more cheerful and obviously as you said, as a former starmer adviser, i like to think it's all about politics, but it can'tjust be that. we are experiencing this increasing optimism in the last few weeks, and that is good news and well overdue. ijust wonder if well overdue. i just wonder if we are finally coming out of that malaise that we've had after the pandemic. malaise that we've had after the andemic. ., ., r' malaise that we've had after the andemic. . . ., . pandemic. can ask what the evidence is for this? i— pandemic. can ask what the evidence is for this? i looked _ pandemic. can ask what the evidence is for this? i looked outside - pandemic. can ask what the evidence is for this? i looked outside the i is for this? i looked outside the window. it's a picture dreary and

because of that, harris has really stayed in line with president biden if we like, and we don't really necessarily know her individual line on this. would we expect to hear, to understand anything from the meeting that she is due to have with prime minister benjamin and yahoo imminently? she minister ben'amin and yahoo imminently?— minister ben'amin and yahoo imminently? minister ben'amin and yahoo imminentl ? . ., , , ., imminently? she will obviously want to be incredibly _ imminently? she will obviously want to be incredibly diplomatic— imminently? she will obviously want to be incredibly diplomatic in - imminently? she will obviously want to be incredibly diplomatic in the i to be incredibly diplomatic in the presence of a foreign leader. the difficulty that we have is the world needs this conflict to end. gazans needs this conflict to end. gazans need this conflict to end and the israelis need their hostages to be returned. but we've got this huge election in november and the difficulty is that if the domestic politics lay heavy on those negotiations, then it could be much more difficult to achieve an end goal. so i'm sure in the moment she is going to be wholly diplomatic, but i hope that the americans

overall keep their eye on the overall keep their eye on the overall goal of a peaceful settlement to the conflict rather than having to lean into the domestic politics which could make that more problematic. irate domestic politics which could make that more problematic.— domestic politics which could make that more problematic. we are out of time. we that more problematic. we are out of time- we will— that more problematic. we are out of time. we will have _ that more problematic. we are out of time. we will have to _ that more problematic. we are out of time. we will have to leave _ that more problematic. we are out of time. we will have to leave it - time. we will have to leave it there. thank you so much for being our panel on tonight's context. we really do appreciate it. thank you for watching at home. thank you. hello from the bbc sport centre, i'm hugh ferris. the opening ceremony isn't until tomorrow... but we're just coming to the end of day two of the action at paris 2024, with team usa attempting to win the women's football gold for the first time in 12 years. their opening match is against zambia. and it's new coach emma hayes' first

it's hard to look past any changes. i think we've been through very impressive performances, so we're looking to cap off the series with another win. the hundred double header was at old trafford today with the first matches for manchester originals and welsh fire with the visitors winning both. the originals could only make 86 in their hundred balls. the third lowest total in the competition's history. david willey one of the fire's bowlers to cause havoc with the new ball. captain tom abell was at the crease to score the winning runs with almost half of their balls to spare. and last year's beaten finalists tasted defeat in their opening match. another low—scoring game preceded it with welsh fire's australian spinner jessjonassen taking three wickets to restrict the originals to 113. in response, openers tammy beaumont and sophia dunkley put on a 65—run partnership and after an originals fightback. dunkley was there at the end asjonassen made a telling contribution with the bat too, bringing the fire home

to win by seven wickets. and haas have announced they've signed esteban ocon as their new driver for the 2025 formula one season. ocon has been driving for alpine. but has now signed a multi—year contract with the us based team. ocon's arrival completes an—all new driver line up for next season. the frenchman joins oliver bareman following the decision to drop kevin magnussen. head to our website for all the details of the european football this evening. st mirren in kilmarnock getting draws in the european qualifiers, head to the website for that. that is it for now. bye—bye. hello there, good evening. the air still muggy and humid throughout today, lots of moisture in it, some misty, murky conditions, lots of low cloud, particularly towards western—facing coasts and hills. some sunny spells at times, most

of those to the east of high ground, but the sunshine tomorrow will be a lot more abundant — the air feeling fresher and less humid still. the chance, though, of some showers, particularly in the north and the west, and that change is going to happen overnight. tonight, we'll see these weather fronts push further southwards and eastwards. the skies will largely clear. still some showers in the far north and the west, but it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow and it should be a brighter one as well. so, not quite so much cloud around tomorrow, much more in the way of sunshine — this time from the word go for most of us. there will still be some showers pushing eastwards on that westerly wind across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern england, to a few more isolated showers across wales and the far southwest of england. some of those showers could potentially be heavy, but the further south and east you are, then the drier your day is likely to be. and in the best of the sunshine, of course, the temperatures will react — 19—23 celsius north to south, butjust a different feel to things. and it changes again on saturday. high pressure tries to build in, but there's a weather front out

towards the west that's pushing eastwards, bringing with it some cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, through western wales, the north of england, some of the showers possibly sharp, and there'll also be some showers across much of scotland, too. but again, across east anglia, perhaps the southeast of england, it could stay largely dry and temperatures here will rise to 22 or 23 degrees, but of course it will feel cooler underneath the layers of cloud. we're much more likely to see a dry day across the board on sunday. that's because high pressure will be building in from the azores. always more cloud towards the north and the west, and there will be some areas of cloud, i think, bubbling up here and there as we head through the afternoon, but some decently long, sunny spells and temperatures more widely will peak in the low 20s. i think we could get the mid 20s, perhaps across london and the south east as we head through sunday. and those temperatures in the south and the east of england in particular, will start to rise, perhaps to the high 20s into monday and tuesday. more sunshine, too, across wales, the mid 20s here, but further north and west, it's cooler with a chance of some showers.

bye— bye.
