it's a headache for the royal family this morning, as several news agencies have banned the mother's day picture of the princess of wales, amid concerns that it's been altered . that it's been altered. >> well, all of this comes as eyes will be on the prince of wales as he attends the annual commonwealth day service in london later. >> three former conservative home secretaries have warned against politicising the terme extremism as the government seeks to redefine it. this week. >> yes, michael gove is on the point of redefining extremism,

but there are plenty in parliament that worry his definition will do more harm than good. find out more with me. very soon. >> an oppenheimer sweep at the academy awards. we'll be looking at all the latest glitz and glamour from the ceremony, which happened last night. >> and talking of glitz and glamour , well, here i am in the glamour, well, here i am in the airport this morning. and a great game. liverpool and manchester city. manchester city draws for me to say, spurs draws easy for me to say, spurs scored four against aston villa and horrendous drunken brawls in norway, but not at a sport that you'd expect . you'd expect. >> hello. good morning. it is a cloudy and damp start for many of us, but will it improve? will it brighten up as we go through the day? find out all the weather details coming up . soon. weather details coming up. soon. >> well, our top story this morning will get you talking.

you're going to see what was deemed to be a fairly innocuous photograph of the princess of wales and her children, which was put out for mother's day. but it has erupted into scandal. >> yeah . you just couldn't make >> yeah. you just couldn't make it up, could you? kensington palace is under serious scrutiny today, as the picture seen here has now been removed from at least four major photo agencies over manipulation fears. >> now, if you can spot the manipulations and what they mean might be a prize in it for you, because i certainly can't see what the importance of all of this is. but the image they do show the image may well have been photoshopped . been photoshopped. >> well, it was released yesterday morning, of course, to try and stem all the speculation about the condition of the princess of wales since her abdominal surgery january, abdominal surgery in january, but is sparked but all it has done is sparked a new form of speculation. right. >> i want to see now how breathless the royal biographer hugo vickers is over this . hugo. hugo vickers is over this. hugo. i'm not i'm not joking. i've looked at this and i've thought,

what are they talking about here? but what i missing ? and here? but what am i missing? and high taken aback, if at all, are you by this? >> well, can i start by saying that you may remember that last week i asked on this very program that we should have a nice photograph of the princess of wales with her children in the garden, and they must have already got that underway. and what very nice idea it was to what a very nice idea it was to release it on mother's day, some three weeks before easter , which three weeks before easter, which was when we were told we'd get our next sort of official update about issue, of about it. now, the issue, of course, is, twofold really. every photographer does manipulate pictures. i mean, i wrote a biography of cecil beaton, and i can assure you that a lot of the photographs he took of the royal family were seriously touched up. the queen mother once actually sent a photograph back and said, queen elizabeth feels she hasn't been entirely untouched by the passing years. could mr passing of the years. could mr beaton remove some of beaton possibly remove some of the so that just the retouching? so that is just one point. of course, the one point. but of course, the overall point why this is difficult is that this

photograph is meant to reassure us that the princess of wales is well and happy. and it's a lovely picture . if it has been lovely picture. if it has been manipulated, then it does ask the question, you know what else, what, what? when was it taken ? and people have said, oh, taken? and people have said, oh, you know, the trees are too in bloom is an old photograph. have they sort of cooked it all up? and in which case that's really quite serious and not, not attractive at all. >> do you think heads could roll over this? i if i was the over this? i mean, if i was the princess wales horrible princess of wales a horrible week last week, not only week for her last week, not only was uncle, you know, was her uncle, you know, embarrassing her into big embarrassing her going into big brother, all of that brother, we had all of that drama. of speculation about drama. lots of speculation about her condition. paparazzi her own condition. paparazzi photograph . here are photograph. here we are releasing picture, releasing this picture, hoping to everything. now to quash everything. and now i don't know about you, but social media has gone absolutely crazy. people going, are people messaging me going, are they up? where's her they splitting up? where's her wedding was in wedding ring? was she even in that photograph? and it's just created new hornet's created a whole new hornet's nest her, well hopefully nest for her, well hopefully not. hopefully she's just recovering quietly at home. but i do take the point. but can i

just make another point? which you may not like is that we're all very happy. apparently to think this one is somehow tricking us. but what about that photograph of prince andrew with virginia roberts? nobody seems to that that also might to consider that that also might have been manipulated. i mean, i know people who've gone through that with a tooth that photograph with a tooth comb soon the hand is in the comb and soon the hand is in the wrong position, etc, etc. but, i mean, i just think that it's a pity mean, i just think that it's a pity because we've lost confidence in the picture. that's the overall thing . that's that's the overall thing. that's that's the real point about that photograph. it was as you say, meant to reassure us. and unfortunately , because of, i unfortunately, because of, i don't know, social media because of people looking at princess charlotte's sleeve, there have been doubts raised, and we're now all worried about it, but, l, now all worried about it, but, i, i mean, a lot of this is over my head until i start looking more deeply . more deeply. >> and then there is a basic thing, isabel, which, you were very, very aware of. i wouldn't

even have noticed this, but the princess of wales is not wearing a wedding ring in this. in this picture. and that is a pretty shocking . well, yeah. shocking. well, yeah. >> obvious wales pulled out at short notice from from a service last week in memory of his godfather . people are now asking godfather. people are now asking are there problems with the marriage? i mean, if this was an oversight, that is absolutely, as far i'm concerned, a as far as i'm concerned, a sackable offence. but is there something else concerned something else to be concerned about? and that's the problem, i think, in all of isn't it, think, in all of this, isn't it, hugo, it's prompted more hugo, that it's prompted more worrying about the, i worrying concern about the, i wanted to call them the waleses there then it's actually helped to solve. >> well, i hope not. i don't think it's necessary for somebody to wear a ring when they're in their own garden. i mean, i'm sure she will be wearing her wedding ring next time she comes out in public. and probably the engagement ring as well, there could be as well, i mean, there could be many reasons why wasn't many reasons why she wasn't wearing a ring, you know, hand could be slightly whatever , but could be slightly whatever, but i it's the optics, isn't i agree, it's the optics, isn't it? the problem. the it? that's the problem. the

opfics it? that's the problem. the optics world in which optics and the world in which we now live where everybody is now live in, where everybody is very and wants to pick very hostile and wants to pick faults with everything. in faults with everything. and in this they've found this occasion, they've found things can pounce on things that they can pounce on and so it's been counterproductive because the photograph , which, as i say, was photograph, which, as i say, was meant to reassure us, has done completely the opposite. but i don't think there's anything wrong marriage. and wrong with that marriage. and we don't why prince william don't know why prince william didn't constantine's didn't go to king constantine's service, but the chances are that something happened at home that something happened at home that he needed to deal with, and he stayed with his wife. simple as so out of ten, how as that, so out of ten, how concerned are you, about what you're seeing here? ten being the worst score ? the worst score? >> no. two, maybe. i think that i think it's a sort of. i mean, you know, you said should heads roll. well, yeah. i mean, to some extent , the person who some extent, the person who released this photograph, if the press people kensington press people at kensington palace or whatever should have spotted these things and spotted all these things and should , you worked should have, you know, worked out in a very world out that we live in a very world where people scrutinise things

very, very closely and therefore they have obviously failed because they've given, the possibility for speculation and undermining, possibility for speculation and undermining , which possibility for speculation and undermining, which is a possibility for speculation and undermining , which is a great undermining, which is a great shame, because when i saw the picture, i thought, what a this is exactly what i was hoping would happen , and lovely picture would happen, and lovely picture of the princess with her smiling children. now sometimes when you take a picture three children take a picture of three children with mother , as i say, with the mother, as i say, having written a biography of cecil beaton, i know perfectly well sometimes you have to replace face so that you get replace one face so that you get them smiling at the same them all smiling at the same time. lots of photographers do that. told that. patrick lichfield told me once, photographed once, that he photographed joan collins digital collins and handed his digital camera to assistant and camera to his assistant and said, her down three said, take her down three points. you know that's what points. so you know that's what they do. >> but just to clear, because >> but just to be clear, because of course, you've dealt with the news agencies in your news agencies a lot in your capacity the years. i mean, capacity over the years. i mean, this is standard procedure. if they an that they think that an image that they're their they're pushing out to their customers, customers , if customers, paying customers, if they think that that picture has been manipulated, they use been manipulated, they will use this it, and they will this tum kill it, and they will not be providing it to their users they can't, you

users because they can't, you know, verify its origin . is that know, verify its origin. is that correct? it's fairly standard procedure these highly procedure for these very highly respected news agencies. >> don't understand that >> well, i don't understand that at all. actually, i've never had to deal with anyone apart from camera press, and i've never heard of this sort of thing before. but, i mean, the photograph is out there, whether it one agency or it comes from one agency or another. i don't know it another. so i don't know it could be that they are stirring up trouble as well, to be honest, i don't really know. i can't that. can't i can't answer that. >> hugo, thanks very >> yeah. well, hugo, thanks very much for your, your much indeed for your, your take and your perspective. we and your perspective. what we will the programme goes will do as the programme goes on. thanks. thanks for you go. thank well, we will do as thank you. well, we will do as the programme is the programme goes on is highlight four, mistakes or highlight the four, mistakes or so there are in in the so that there are in in the photograph . do you see them as photograph. do you see them as mistakes. do you see them as enhancements? there they are. i'm not really sure what we're supposed to be looking at. there what what are we looking what what what are we looking at, what on? at, isabel? what on? >> well, that's princess charlotte's sleeve on the top right of the screen. if you're listening on the radio, what you

can see is half of her sleeve is started to blend with her skirt, which suggests that there's been some altering. i mean, some sort of altering. i mean, we this a lot with people we see this a lot with people like the kardashians who take an inch their waist. it's very inch off their waist. it's very close, point out, to close, i should point out, to the, princess wales's the, the princess of wales's hand, course has been hand, which of course has been the subject of more speculation as louise fingers as well. louise fingers are a little bit muddled, but actually he's crossing his fingers there, bless know, there's bless him, but you know, there's lots pictures that the lots of pictures that the waleses have put out not that long ago . so what was the recent long ago. so what was the recent occurrence there? >> what's wrong with this ? >> what's wrong with this? what's wrong with that? >> i don't think there's anything with that. anything wrong with that. personally, finger personally, with this finger being it's just being crossed. it's just people are little are noticing little idiosyncrasies in picture. idiosyncrasies in the picture. now, as i'm aware, it's now, as far as i'm aware, it's just the sleeve on charlotte that there seems to be a problem. but the rumour mill is also absence of also focusing on the absence of also focusing on the absence of a and an engagement a wedding ring and an engagement ring. wrong with this >> and what's wrong with this jumper there? >> i don't see >> what's that? i don't see anything wrong with that either. well think this is all well i think i think this is all blown up out of proportion personally. >> but, your views are very welcome this morning. what do

you all of this? gb you think of all of this? gb views gbnews.com? get us talking on because believe me, on that because believe me, you're going to be hearing about it all day. >> onto politics now. and it was a weekend marked by more pro—palestinian protests across the capital, which raised some concerns again over rising extremism. >> today, three former conservative home secretaries amber rudd, sajid javid and priti patel are calling for a unhed priti patel are calling for a united political consensus to tackle what they're saying is real threats from islamist extremists. right. so this comes as community secretary michael gove prepares to announce a new government definition of extremism . extremism. >> well, let's get some reaction from our political correspondent olivia utley to all of this. just bring us up to speed. why does michael gove feel the need to the definition of to change the definition of extremism , and why are so many extremism, and why are so many people? i mean, we're talking about these former home secretaries. we also had the former secretary, former defence secretary, michael camilla michael portillo, on camilla tominey also saying was tominey show also saying he was

concerned so why are concerned about this. so why are so many people worried about it from his own party? from within his own party? >> well, essentially there's a lot of concern because michael gove is talking about redefining extremism so that instead of focusing on action, it focuses on political ideology and specifically political ideology that, as he puts it, undermines britain's liberal democracy. now, there are plenty of people both on the left and the right in the house of commons who worry that that definition is just too loose. what exactly is britain's liberal democracy? what are sort of british values ? what are sort of british values? that terme is quite nebulous. there are gender critical feminists, for example, who worry that their belief that that sex is innate, that sex should be protected , that should be protected, that women's spaces should be protected, etc, might be extreme to some, and might be said to undermine britain's liberal values. there are catholics, for example, who don't believe in abortion, who believe that life is sacred from the moment of

conception. could they fall under this very new, broad version of extremism? and eventually, could you end up in a situation where free speech ends up being curtailed ? michael ends up being curtailed? michael gove is essentially wanting to change the definition of extremism now, because we are seeing these marches every week on saturday on the streets of london and elsewhere in the uk. and he is worried that some of the organisers of these marches are extremists and the people going on these marches are sort of burying their heads in the sand, ostrich like, and don't really accept and understand that these people are extremists. that's why he wants to sort of tighten up the definition. but there is a worry that all sorts of other people could get caught in the net. and what these former home secretaries are talking about, this morning is the idea that a government today could change the definition of extremism, essentially for its own purposes , to try and get a hold on these pro—palestine marches . but

pro—palestine marches. but eventually we could have a different government. we are likely to have a different government, and that government could choose to redefine extremism on its own terms. under this very, very broad umbrella. so what the problem is really, is the potential for free speech to be curtailed later down the line, even if this government have the very best of intentions, who's to say what could happen in the future? it is dangerous to start politicising that turm extremism i >> -- >> so pro—palestinian marches risk lending credence to extremist groups. that's what michael gove is saying and that is what he is warning against. olivia, thank you very much indeed. with the time approaching a 6:15, let's have a look at some other stories coming into our newsroom on this monday morning . monday morning. >> politicians, tech companies and financial institutions are to in london today to to meet in london today to tackle international fraud. the eventis tackle international fraud. the event is being hosted by the british government and is the first of its kind. interpol's general secretary, jurgen stock , general secretary, jurgen stock, has said cross—border

cooperation was to ensure cooperation was needed to ensure there are no safe havens for financial fraudsters. we'll be speaking to the security minister, tom tugendhat, about that and the rest of the day's news shortly. >> the mother of brianna gheyj has met the family of the girl who murdered her daughter. she says she hopes the two mothers may work together on the peace in mind community interest company she's launched as a legacy . legacy. >> the crime that's been committed is impacted so many other people and obviously what they've gone through is terrible as well. and they've lost. they've lost a child and they haven't only lost a child, but they've also got to live with what's happened now for the rest of their lives. >> two people have been arrested on suspicion of preventing a lawful and decent burial in yorkshire . branches of the yorkshire. branches of the legacy independent funeral directors in hull and east riding remain cordoned off after concerns were raised on

wednesday. humberside police say 34 bodies have now been respectfully transported to a mortuary for formal identification . identification. >> well, you may not be aware, but it was oscars last night and the winner was oppenheimer. it swooped up seven academy awards overnight, including best picture and best director for christopher nolan. >> yeah , and the lead actor, >> yeah, and the lead actor, cillian murphy became the first irish born man to win best actor with his first oscar. >> and the oscar goes to killian murphy . murphy. >> you know, we made a film . we >> you know, we made a film. we made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb. and for better or for worse, we're all living in oppenheimer's world. so i would really like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere. shaun bailey margot.

>> yeah, but it didn't go so well for the other big hit of last year, barbie. and it's been pretty much the story of the awards season, it? awards season, hasn't it? big snub them. although it was snub for them. although it was the grossing film they snub for them. although it was the took grossing film they snub for them. although it was the took homessing film they snub for them. although it was the took home one| film they snub for them. although it was the took home one awardthey snub for them. although it was the took home one award for! just took home one award for best original song . best original song. >> if you want to sing it. >> if you want to sing it. >> no. >> no. >> entertainment reporter stephanie takyi up last stephanie takyi stayed up last night give us rundown on night to give us the rundown on this one. steph, i think the thing is , for the first time in thing is, for the first time in a good few years, oscars aren't leading the news on this monday morning. and that's because, oh well, normally we would lead with oscars, but this was the fourth story until i made it. the third story today . but, the third story today. but, basically it's because it's become so predictable with oppenheimer. >> it has actually, you know, they've just followed the suit of the baftas, who awarded oppenheimer with seven awards. so we knew it was going to be predictable. i knew that they were going to do good. that was followed by poor things with emma unfortunately for emma stone. unfortunately for her, came undone when her, her dress came undone when she was going on stage, which was bad way , a bad way. so

was in a bad way, a bad way. so she actress in her she won leading actress in her zip came undone. but you know what? you're going to find the reason why it's so predictable with these awards that most with these awards is that most of been voted not of them have been voted by, not by at but by by audiences at home, but by members of these awards academies. so they're all thinking same kind of thinking the same kind of feeling. and it just happens that comedy doesn't work that comedy doesn't really work well for award shows. so that's why we've seen stuff like oppenheimer do well. the good thing about oppenheimer doing well we bobby well, because we forget bobby did the box office, but did well in the box office, but so did oppenheimer. so in the sense members are actually sense these members are actually listening to what audiences have wanted at home. >> well, you know, i wasn't overly fussed on the film, but, best supporting actor, robert downey jr, i think. well deserved because definitely i thought this man was completely unrecognisable in his role. >> he he was fantastic in this role and he definitely deserved this award. and i think robert downey jr, he's gone through a lot of highs and a lot of lows in hollywood in his career. and in hollywood in his career. and

in his speech last night, he said, i needed this role. it was a kind of touch and go night for him because jemmy kimmel, who was host of oscars, you him because jemmy kimmel, who was thinkt of oscars, you him because jemmy kimmel, who was think he oscars, you him because jemmy kimmel, who was think he was oscars, you him because jemmy kimmel, who was think he was ozsafe, you him because jemmy kimmel, who was think he was ozsafe pair would think he was a safe pair of hands, he was actually of hands, but he was actually making of robert downey jr's making fun of robert downey jr's drug the past, drug addiction in the past, which go down well. which didn't go down well. robert wasn't pleased that, robert wasn't pleased with that, but think award again was but i think this award again was well deserved and it's good to see him highlighted in the way he was. >> was there another controversial moment when the winner, was winner, oppenheimer, was read out before the actual nominees? i don't know what happened. a bit of an upset. >> i don't know what happened to al pacino in that moment, but he just seemed like he was quite eager to go in and just say, okay, picture is. and eager to go in and just say, oktdidn't picture is. and eager to go in and just say, oktdidn't even picture is. and eager to go in and just say, oktdidn't even highlight. and eager to go in and just say, oktdidn't even highlight thed he didn't even highlight the other films were up for other films that were up for when everyone knew that it was oppenheimer anyway. >> so, you know, he just thought, let's get on with it. but it also a good even but it was also a good even though bobby only picked one though bobby only picked up one award, had award, ryan gosling had his moment and have moment on stage. and we have a clip here. oh, good performing. i'm ken. i'm just came in waleses. >> i btec .

waleses. >> i btec. is it my waleses. >> i btec . is it my destiny to >> i btec. is it my destiny to be the life of god? did you tuc i'm just kc love ryan gosling he really is talented and i like that he wore pink as well, to give a nod to barbie because margot robbie, she didn't wear pink. >> she's been wearing pink all season. but yesterday she wore all black and i think that was a sign for her to say she's ready to ditch barbie and ready hopefully to new role. but hopefully to get a new role. but another on another good moment on the oscars night john cena, oscars last night was john cena, who award naked. i who presented award naked. i think we've got a picture of that. okay particular that. okay any particular reason? he he was he was . reason? he was he was he was. >> well, because he looks great. yeah he does. and knows it yeah he does. and he knows it definitely kept me awake, but yeah. he presenting the yeah. no, he was presenting the costume and jemmy costume design award and jemmy kimmel him to come on kimmel dared him to come on stage naked. so i think that was either some people are loving it , are not, isn't it , some people are not, isn't it the year that of the the first year that all of the awards were handed out by previous winners? yes. did previous winners? yes. how did that work? previous winners? yes. how did tha thatk? previous winners? yes. how did tha that was a beautiful moment >> that was a beautiful moment for the four categories. for the top four categories. you

had previous winners had the five previous winners all stage to talk all come up on stage to talk individually about the different nominations, and i thought that was quite well because it felt like just handing the baton to whoever was going to get it. and i thought i felt like it was quite different. >> and i think cillian murphy >> and i do think cillian murphy is wonderful, fascinating actor. i oppenheimer , but i haven't seen oppenheimer, but i haven't seen oppenheimer, but i just i've seen i haven't seen oppenheimer, but ijust i've seen him in lots of i just i've seen him in lots of things and i think he is an incredible actor. so i'm unsurprised that he's won an award. you feel proud to see award. do you feel proud to see all these irish actors and actresses so well, and actresses doing so well, and i thought, irish movies. >> he's the >> you were telling me he's the first yeah. first irish. yeah. >> irish actor to win that nomination. >> yeah, that surprises me. >> yeah. because you would think someone like daniel day—lewis would had it, but it's him. >> and he made an irish, sort of. he said, thank you in. >> i'm an irishman. so he said that he's definitely proud. and then obviously he paid nod to then obviously he paid nod to the peacemakers . there was the peacemakers. there was tinges of politics during the show yesterday outside of the dolby theatre, there was pro—palestinian demonstrations, but there was also people on

stage who made quite powerful speeches as to be expected, talking about israel and gaza, and we're going to be talking about the politicisation when you're going to be involved in that later on of the oscars, do you think it has become more political or. >> i think it has, but i think thatis >> i think it has, but i think that is just the climate of what we're living in. you cannot expect. i think people just think actors are these kind of vacuous who just turn vacuous creatures who just turn up. got opinions, up. they've got opinions, feelings. films are feelings. a lot of films are based on what's going on worldwide. yeah, they have worldwide. so yeah, they have to keep up the times and they keep up with the times and they have reflect that. have to reflect that. >> okay. very good, very good. >> okay. very good, very good. >> watching something very >> i'm watching something very good the moment. good on netflix at the moment. guy ritchie's the gentlemen. >> went to the premiere last >> i went to the premiere last week. very good. amazing. i watched the first episode. >> i'm on, i'm on episode four. no episode five. >> very good. i'm on mary and george, the penultimate episode of one day. >> but i'm saving the final episode for the right moment, because i've heard it's a real tear jerker and i'm not quite ready. >> yeah, get the tissues out as

the countryside that's going to be taken away from me. >> national grid is moving away from coal fired connections built in the 1960s towards new offshore wind and solar , offshore wind and solar, primarily along the east coast. there are 17 great grid upgrade projects, many in east anglia, yorkshire and scotland. some are cable's out at sea, others fitted underground . but fitted underground. but lincolnshire has been promised overhead cables and pylons 50m tall, running from grimsby in the north to walpole, south of the north to walpole, south of the county. the national grid is proposing a new electrified corridor between the coastline and lincolnshire wolds , an area and lincolnshire wolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty that means pylons will cut through the countryside, passing villages and towns like alford, lincolnshire , whose economy is lincolnshire, whose economy is reliant on farming and tourism . reliant on farming and tourism. colin davey, from lincolnshire county council , colin davey, from lincolnshire county council, is urging the government and national grid to

consider how their plans might harm lincolnshire's greatest industries , offshore or underground. >> we're quite happy to accept that and work with national grid to deliver it, but we're not going to have our landscape despoiled and ruined by this proposal . proposal. >> in tiny towns and villages like alvingham, communities clash in consultations with the national grid. >> i'm feeling very sad, really. >> i'm feeling very sad, really. >> it's going to ruin farmland and you know, people's views and everything. >> i suspect that we're a bit of a cash cow. >> locals say going underground is fine, but don't spoil the countryside with pylons. national grid thinks that option is too expensive. steve is the company's external affairs manager because the cost of infrastructure like this goes onto all of our bills. >> government expects us to keep costs as low as possible, even though proposals are in early stages for locals, they are no

less shocking. >> will hollis gb news in lincolnshire is that affecting you? >> if so, let us know, would you allow it to happen in your area or not? in the race to be. what are we carbon neutral or whatever? but, it's all it is. listen, it's just saving money. they put them overground and underground where it would be expensive to do . they're ugly. expensive to do. they're ugly. it could be argued they're dangerous. let us know what you think. an paul coyte is now officially in the studio, and he's going to bring us up to date, because there's a lot to talk about. >> there is morning. >> there is morning. >> but firstly, though, i never, ever went near a pylon. i know you said would make your hair you said it would make your hair stand it, because i remember stand on it, because i remember the when i a kid that the advert when i was a kid that said never go near electricity pylons, which those things in the which you the 70s are scary, which you can still you get. kid would still see you get. the kid would fall dead on the floor and fall off dead on the floor and it would scare the life out of you.soit it would scare the life out of you. so it kept me well away for called public pylon. >> public >> yeah. these are public information. those

now we want you to be absolutely sure of who you're watching here, despite there may be photoshopping going on in your screen, but we've got dawn neesom and christopher biggins going through the papers. and, don, what about this whole royal photo scandal? now, i didn't i personally didn't notice there was anything wrong or right or how concerned are you about this? >> i well, i think it's a major, major pr blunder. i think it's a huge disaster for the royal

family. if what they wanted to do was to destroy all the conspiracy theories and all the gossip that are built up around kate's absence , then this was kate's absence, then this was the worst thing they could have done because it's just added fuel to the worst thing about what they could have done. >> what are you jumping to? conclusions. >> just. >> just. >> it just looks so i saw that picture first time. yes, picture for the first time. yes, i working yesterday. the i was working yesterday. and the first there was first thing i said there was something with this something wrong with this picture. clearly picture. it's quite clearly airbrushed. everybody photoshopped pictures these days. right. okay. days. i get that right. okay. >> quite clearly >> it's quite clearly airbrushed. you said. >> is quite . well, >> yes, it is quite. well, there's lots of lots quite clearly. certainly clearly. i mean certainly they're the most obvious thing is charlotte hand and her is our charlotte hand and her jumper where it's like it's brushed . it's literally airbrushed. >> so why is it. come on. i'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. is it wrong charlotte's ways to show that it wasn't rhiannon charlotte's west to rhiannon charlotte's west and to show i don't know. >> i don't know the reasoning behind why they've done it, but and everybody does, they've got they've got into trouble with this the past. well they this in the past. well they airbrushed do this in the past. well they ai to ushed do

this in the past. well they aito make do this in the past. well they aito make a do this in the past. well they aito make a picture do this in the past. well they aito make a picture look do this in the past. well they aito make a picture look clean. it to make a picture look clean. okay fact that all the okay but the fact that all the major picture agencies then put out a kill notice on it was the one thing that made me think, right, okay, so my immediate suspicions as a tabloid journalist, i used to look at pictures and put them in papers all the time. as a tabloid journalist, i thought there is something wrong something profoundly wrong with this for the this picture. and for the agencies to put them out that kill notice, do you not look at prince andrew then? >> and, virginia giuffre or whatever, virginia roberts, and think that must be air shot, airbrushed . airbrushed. >> i didn't think that was that. i didn't think that was. >> i don't understand why you would think that isn't. and that is. >> well, because there are clear marks this marks of, photoshopped on this picture airbrushed picture where it's airbrushed fuzzy where the fuzzy images, bits where the pictures are bent, where they can't shouldn't be bent. can't be, shouldn't be bent. it's not so it's just not right. so obviously, she's wearing obviously, she's not wearing a wedding ring. >> isn't the tree, though? it's interesting you know, interesting because you know, this is this. that was an autumn picture, i think. i think it was taken in the autumn. yeah. you

a picture without explanation . a picture without explanation. does an official statement come from kensington palace or not? >> i well, i don't know whether. i don't know whether they will or not. i think if it was me personally, i would say something. i would literally say, look, we tried to tidy up the picture. there was something wrong with charlotte's cardi or whatever, and that's what we've done. >> i'm sure they won't say anything, but they won't say anything. >> they won't. we know. >> they won't. we know. >> why would you? it just draws attention to it. >> well, tell you, meghan >> well, i'll tell you, meghan will california will be sitting in california rubbing loving rubbing her. she'll be loving this . she'll rubbing her. she'll be loving this. she'll be ordering rubbing her. she'll be loving this . she'll be ordering extra this. she'll be ordering extra copies everything . so if copies and, everything. so if they don't say anything, they stand accused of being false. and they're either false or they're not false . so i'll leave they're not false. so i'll leave it there. your views very, very welcome, isn't it? now begins the oscars last night. here's my problem with the oscars . there's problem with the oscars. there's no excitement about them because everybody knew who was going to win. think was win. and i think it was a relatively, it wasn't certainly a good watch of a film, sort of. >> well, the trouble with it,

like, like most films now , i like, like most films now, i mean, i liked oppenheimer, but it was 20 to 25 minutes too long. you know, they can't cut these these directors. i mean, you know, they should have cut a lot of it out, but, you know , it lot of it out, but, you know, it won, but i thought jemmy kimmel last night, i saw the first houn last night, i saw the first hour. jemmy kimmel was very, very funny, very good, clever, witty and i. and then i hear and i haven't seen it yet, but the ryan gosling, song that he sang from the film, which annoys me. you know, the fat barbie was barbie. yes. that annoys me. that barbie which has taken the most money of any film this yeah most money of any film this year. it gets no recognition at all. and i think there should be all. and i think there should be a recognition for in the industry films that do really well, good hard cash . well, good hard cash. >> exactly right. >> exactly right. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> so much money on it. >> so much money on it. >> i'm thinking of introduced some sort of award where you get recognition being the most recognition for being the most successful film. >> well, they should, you know, i , there's a lot actors i mean, there's a lot of actors who from that. i think

who suffer from that. i think da'vine joy randolph was, was as usual, she's won every award in this category, best supporting actress was terrific. and i think the wonderful thing was john cena, who won, who gave out the best award for costume dressed in nothing came on naked. >> i knew you'd enjoy that. >> i knew you'd enjoy that. >> and had a big envelope covering his manhood. i think he dropped the envelope. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> me and i also , i don't know >> me and i also, i don't know if you saw pictures today in the papen if you saw pictures today in the paper. dame joan collins looked fantastic. always fantastic. she always at the awards she was she was a top awards and she was she was a top dressed woman that night i thought, okay guys, we've just got to briefly put you on pause as we speak to the security minister, tom tugendhat , who minister, tom tugendhat, who joins us today from central london. mr tugendhat, good morning to you. and today good morning. good morning. good to talk to you . talk to you. >> oscars coverage very entertaining. >> yeah. but but sort of ties in with with what you're talking about doesn't it. we talk about,

well, not the oscar coverage. the, the royal photo coverage, and fraud and what we believe, what we're looking at, what we're hearing, what we're seeing, what we're being fed. and you're concerned from a governmental point of view about fraud, and you're going to have this summit today. tell us more . this summit today. tell us more. >> right. so look, this government has been leading on fraud. and the reason we've been leading on fraud is because this is a crime that affects just thousands of people across our country. the human misery that comes it, of comes with it, the loss of trust, the loss of dignity that some feel when they're some people feel when they're when is when they're defrauded is incredibly powerful. and that's why we've been doing so much now already we're leading on bringing down. so it's bringing fraud down. so it's down 13% year on year. and we've already led globally with the onune already led globally with the online fraud charter, which is a huge moment where we've got tech companies, the largest tech companies, the largest tech companies and other companies, telecoms companies to work together british together to protect the british people. today , that's all people. and today, that's all about bringing that to partners,

because about 70% of fraud originates overseas and it affects us here at home. so bringing partners together at this global fraud summit is about making sure we're combating this together. >> it's interesting. i mean, eamonn mentioned we were discussing earlier the royal photograph and all the sort of ferrari around that. and i know the government is often reticent to on the royal family, to comment on the royal family, but you know, it's important when we talk the veracity but you know, it's important wiimages.alk the veracity but you know, it's important wiimages.alk last the veracity but you know, it's important wiimages.alk last weekeracity of images. just last week we had super states, super tuesday in the states, lots doctored images of lots of eye doctored images of president trump were circulating as mean , it's important as well. i mean, it's important that these news agencies take a stand veracity of the stand on the veracity of the origin of these pictures and their reliability , isn't it, their reliability, isn't it, from a news point of view, so that we can trust what we're seeing ? and i just wonder if you seeing? and i just wonder if you would go so far as to say, you know, would you advise know, what would you advise kensington palace in kensington palace to do in the wake backlash? wake of this backlash? >> well, look, you and i both know that i'm not going to comment on anything from kensington palace , and i just kensington palace, and i just hope everybody had good hope everybody had a good mother's yesterday. mother's day yesterday. certainly that's what was

certainly that's what i was focussed not not photographs focussed on. not not photographs from palace , but the from kensington palace, but the truth and image truth about images and the image distortion has distortion is something that has come other areas, and come up in other areas, and we've to make sure that what we've got to make sure that what we've got to make sure that what we do in democracies, or indeed when fraud is we make when fighting fraud is we make sure that what we can sure that what we see, we can trust. that's why these stop trust. and that's why these stop think fraud campaign that we've launched a few weeks ago is launched only a few weeks ago is so important because if you see something you don't trust, if you're getting that you're getting offers that you're, you are good you're, you know, are too good to then they probably to be true, then they probably are good to be and are too good to be true, and they're probably not true. and so looking at is so what we've been looking at is focusing the british focusing on keeping the british people that people safe from a crime that sadly leaves so many feeling vulnerable . vulnerable. >> where are we particularly vulnerable , you know, are we vulnerable, you know, are we talking about computers, talking to computers ? are we talking to computers? are we talking about border security? what are we talking about ? we talking about? >> well, look at the end of the day, it's always down to people, right? so what we know is that we've got to work with security forces across this country. and the national crime agency do a fantastic job on this, as do the

city of london police and of course, our new unit, the national fraud squad, which has got 400 officers and the got about 400 officers and the national fraud intelligence unit, set up, unit, which we've just set up, are leading the fight are really leading the fight here. but they've got to work with around world, with partners around the world, and the global fraud and that's why the global fraud summit important, because summit is so important, because about fraud originates about 70% of fraud originates overseas . and we've got to make overseas. and we've got to make sure we're working together to bnng sure we're working together to bring that level of fraud down. now hugely important. now that's hugely important. we've achieved a of we've already achieved a drop of 13, but to go further. 13, but we need to go further. and that's what we're working on today tomorrow the global today and tomorrow at the global fraud businesses and fraud summit with businesses and leaders the world. leaders from around the world. >> listen, wish you >> well, listen, we wish you well with the summit, but i want to you about work of to ask you about the work of your michael gove. your colleague, michael gove. he's redefining he's working hard on redefining the terms extremism. and this seems to have prompted a bit of a backlash from within your own party. from three former home secretaries, no less, who are warning against the dangers of politicising it and indeed , politicising it and indeed, michael portillo yesterday on this very channel, also saying that actually, by meddling with these terms, you can often make

these terms, you can often make the situation worse. do you recognise those concerns, and do you think michael gove is right to redefine it ? to redefine it? >> well, look, i think it's absolutely right that you shouldn't politicise extremism. that's exactly what we're not doing. what we're doing is we're making sure that the british people are kept safe from the various forms of extremism that we sadly see in our country that are trying to radicalise young people, by and large, young people, by and large, young people, into doing things that people, by and large, young peoincredibloning things that people, by and large, young peoincredibly dangerous, that people, by and large, young peoincredibly dangerous, nott are incredibly dangerous, not just for our whole society, but for individuals. now, for them as individuals. now, i gave speech on friday talking gave a speech on friday talking about talking the about this and talking about the fact that this is about keeping all our communities safe and all of our communities safe and sadly the victims of sadly, the first victims of islamist extremism , for example, islamist extremism, for example, is the muslim community. now, today, on the first day of ramadan, you'll appreciate that many muslim communities are coming together with friends and family sure that they family and making sure that they can enjoy this holy month the can enjoy this holy month in the same many of us would same way as many of us would enjoy what we've enjoy christmas. now, what we've got that they're got to make sure is that they're safe so now. there are safe to do so now. there are many different opinions in the muslim like

muslim community, just like there christian there are in the christian community, people have community, and many people have different looking at different ways of looking at articles we've got to articles of faith. we've got to make everybody to make sure everybody is safe to express themselves because freedom faith, of freedom of faith, freedom of belief, thought and belief, freedom of thought and expression is fundamental to our democracy. >> yeah, there always >> yeah, but there are always these unintended consequences, aren't seek aren't there? when you do seek to redetermine redefine these terms. and when we saw it the last time you attempted this, that people like jacob rees—mogg suddenly were being described as extremist in extremist people who were in favour of brexit, which is the majority view of this country, is he wise, given all the worries and the concerns of respected colleagues of yours, to be meddling in this way on such a febrile issue ? such a febrile issue? >> so let me just be very clear. first of all, jacob is a very good friend of mine, and there's absolutely no there's no suggestion that he could possibly be included in this . possibly be included in this. and that would be absurd. the reality is that what we're looking at here is we're looking at different ways of making sure we people safe. of we keep people safe. so some of the areas already acting the areas we're already acting on you are , you know, if

on is if you are, you know, if you're propagating extremist views, lose your views, then you can lose your visa. you can if you're a student, you can see that as an end to your course. and there's various ways where already various ways where we're already taking action. and all this is building the prime building off the prime minister's a couple of minister's speech of a couple of weeks where were weeks back, where we were talking spoke talking about where he spoke about clearly need to about very clearly the need to get the front foot on this. get on the front foot on this. you know, absolutely you know, it's absolutely right that every must feel that every citizen must feel safe in the uk and safe to be in the uk and anywhere that's anywhere in the uk, and that's what achieve. what we're working to achieve. >> about feeling >> just talking about feeling safe. the pope. this interview has come out over the weekend, tom, about the pope saying that, that, ukraine should have what he called the courage of the white flag. we've got about 30s to give me a comment on that. if you could please . you could please. >> eamonn, look, i'm not going to comment on on on the pope's views on this. i'm just going to say we stand very firmly with ukraine and its right to defend itself. its right to defend its citizens the russians citizens against the russians who murdered and

of all, i looked at it. i couldn't really see what was what was wrong with it, but we've looked at it and we see certain things that i don't see how it enhances the photograph, but very strange that this has happened. >> yes. it's extraordinary , >> yes. it's extraordinary, isn't it? i had two feelings. one is there was a photograph captured of her with her mother in a car, and although newspapers didn't use it, you could see what she looked like. she looked quite puffy faced . she looked quite puffy faced. and i wondered whether how yesterday , how she could change yesterday, how she could change from this puffy face to the slim one we'd known so well. after you've had a major operation and you're not well enough to do very much, i don't see that is your fear that the photograph is not off the time and place in other words, this photograph was taken other time. taken some other time. >> in the autumn. i don't >> maybe in the autumn. i don't know when. >> yes, i also think it was strange when they said that prince william did it because he's not learned how to be a

photographer and it's actually brilliantly taken with all the smiles and the laughter. she's the one who actually learnt how to do photography very well, so it is a mess. but i wondered whether the actual couple sent it to kensington palace and somebody thought, oh, here it is, and sent it and it's a whole plot. >> well, let's bring cameron in at this point, because as angela is demonstrating that this is just posed a whole bunch of new questions, which the palace really didn't want and arguably didn't need. but they've messed up here, haven't they? >> well, absolutely. i think there's no two ways about it. i mean, was an image that was mean, this was an image that was meant quash all these meant to quash all of these conspiracy theories have meant to quash all of these conspcirculatingies have meant to quash all of these conspcirculating online have meant to quash all of these conspcirculating online over|ve meant to quash all of these conspcirculating online over the been circulating online over the last weeks, last couple of weeks, particularly since william pulled of that memorial pulled out of that memorial service godfather . and service for his godfather. and all done is added fuel all it's done is added fuel to the this doesn't happen the fire. this doesn't happen often. in fact, i can't remember another time. it has happened where international agencies have image over have pulled the image over editorial fears. the associated press, for example, a big

international agency, says the image appears to have been manipulated. now the press association , which is the agency association, which is the agency here in the united kingdom, has not killed the image. they are very close to the palace, but they do say they're seeking urgent clarification from kensington and williams kensington palace and williams at the centre of this. >> will they get that urgent clarify location? >> well, as yet we've received nothing from kensington palace . nothing from kensington palace. they've remained very silent since william is since last night. but william is at the centre of this. as angela says, he's the one who's meant to have taken this photograph. >> think >> right. okay. do you think kensington out kensington palace will come out and look, guys , a little and say, look, guys, a little bit of mistake here. we meant to do but actually we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here but actually we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a ut actually we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a bitactually we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a bit orjally we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a bit or not, we messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a bit or not, he messed bit of mistake here. we meant to do here a bit or not, i thinkssed up here a bit or not, i think they will. >> i don't think they can be quiet long. i mean, they're quiet for long. i mean, they're obviously have obviously going to have discussions tomorrow, discussions maybe till tomorrow, but to say something but they've got to say something and they can make an apology and say they thought it came from the couple and they sent it out without questioning it . i the couple and they sent it out without questioning it. i think that would be their excuse

unless the couple did that. i don't believe they would do that because they're very intelligent and they know that anybody would look at who was had any look at that. who was had any interest in in photography and would say, that's okay. i mean, it's not quite. >> i'm not sure it's about what what advantage they get through the little changes. >> well put. >> well put. >> i would put up for changes what the problems are. >> i mean, it's this dodgy sleeve that seems to have got most the criticism. but i most of the criticism. but i wanted to cameron, this wanted to say to cameron, this won't be the first time that the royal family will touched royal family will have touched up royals up a picture to make the royals look don't look better, but i still don't see why dodgy sleeve throws see why a dodgy sleeve throws everything into disarray. >> a combination three >> i think a combination three and also you can't say it and well, also you can't say it in this image , but kate zip is in this image, but kate zip is very off centre, and but the most obvious one is charlotte's sleeve. but it doesn't really matter what the individual issues i mean, all through issues are. i mean, all through the mean , right back to the ages, i mean, right back to tudor times there were, you tudor times and there were, you know, of the of know, painting bits of the of the monarch, which didn't exist. and, know, they've touched and, you know, they've touched up through the ages. so up photos through the ages. so it's first a photo

it's not the first time a photo has manipulated for the has been manipulated for the pubuc has been manipulated for the public at their public just looking at their annual card and prince annual christmas card and prince louis finger. louis was missing a finger. >> remember? yes, big >> do you remember? yes, a big discussion the discussion about that. but the reason it matters time is reason it matters this time is because image was put out because this image was put out specifically concerns specifically to allay concerns about whether or not the princess of wales was okay, and now people conspiracy theorists are suggesting, well, have the kids photoshopped kids been photoshopped into the image? really image? was this really kate wears wedding as well? wears her wedding ring as well? sparked all of this. so, you know, it's not the idea of photoshopping in and of itself so much as in relation to this particular picture . particular picture. >> could be a >> no, there could be a perfectly explanation. perfectly innocent explanation. so photos and they so they took ten photos and they needed photo of kids all needed one photo of the kids all looking camera at the looking at the camera at the same and they morphed it same time, and they morphed it all very clumsily, but all into one very clumsily, but because, you say, isabel, it because, as you say, isabel, it had this image would had they knew this image would be scrutinised because it is be so scrutinised because it is the official one we've the first official one we've seen her abdominal seen since her abdominal surgery. the conspiracy surgery. and all the conspiracy theorists, just theorists, you know, it's just adding fuel to this fire by that. >> would you buy that as an explanation ? they they took all explanation? they they took all four images or and they made one. >> i don't think they did it. i

just think that it was all organised before it was sent to the palace. i think somebody got hold of it. someone who wants to bnng hold of it. someone who wants to bring down the monarchy would do that for them. and if you keep on nagging and finding fault, you know, the number of percentage of people who actually believe in the royal family will drop. i think it's all a set up. i might be wrong, but who? >> gosh, my mind's gone. i'm scratching my head . i wonder, scratching my head. i wonder, has it come from los angeles? >> that's no . >> that's no. >> that's no. >> but how is she going to like it? how is meghan going to like all this? >> well, i think meghan is, very jealous of princess catherine. and so if she's going to see that they're being attacked or criticised , i don't think she'll criticised, i don't think she'll be very upset. >> i think cameron is fair to say a lot of people will be sorry for princess catherine that in a week when she was papped that in a week when she was papped last week against her wishes, when she's, you know, perfectly entitled to privacy,

to serious to recover from serious abdominal surgery, the week that her decided to muscle her uncle has decided to muscle in on her fame, just as she's trying to convalesce and now people questioning if her marriage is intact or not. very difficult time for her. >> yeah, it's an incredibly difficult time for the princess of wales. she really values her privacy , as does prince william. privacy, as does prince william. she knew that perhaps had to she knew that she perhaps had to put something out to reassure the public, and that reassurance has not come this morning. unfortunately, because of all these edits and whether or not it was prince william who edited the photo and just sent it to kensington palace and nobody checked it before it was then published, could possibly published, that could possibly happen. all these happen. but because of all these questions, completely questions, it's completely overshadowed commonwealth overshadowed the commonwealth day service. so other members of the family, including the royal family, including the king, to be king, are not going to be particularly about about particularly happy about about this. it's a real problem, i think, for catherine and william. don't know what william. and i don't know what they're to doing they're going to be doing next or what kensington palace is going be doing next. going to be doing next. >> speaking of the >> just speaking of the commonwealth today this commonwealth service today, this was famously last was obviously famously the last time close

time they were at close quarters. sussexes and the quarters. the sussexes and the wales, remember wales, as you remember that frosty they frosty moment when they were sort glancing at each other sort of glancing at each other inside the talk to us inside the church, talk to us about the service is all about what the service is all about what the service is all about and what we can expect here the king, who here from the king, who of course, person. >> e f- e the king has >> he can't. the king has pledged continue serve the pledged to continue to serve the commonwealth best of his commonwealth to the best of his ability. is the best of my ability. that is the best of my ability. that is the best of my ability. as the quote. of course, received a cancer course, he has received a cancer diagnosis. he's not undertaking any public engagements at the moment, so he will not be at the commonwealth service at westminster later. neither westminster abbey later. neither will obviously. she will kate quite obviously. she is still recovering from abdominal surgery . it is a abdominal surgery. it is a yearly very important service in the royal calendar. yearly very important service in the royal calendar . prince the royal calendar. prince william and the queen are going to be leading it, but we are also expecting protests at midday, from midday as well, because there are obviously people who dislike the monarchy and think that we should be a republic here in this country. but it's all been overshadowed, and all the work of the commonwealth has been overshadowed by this image. and that's not going to go away

today. >> the big error, the big missing , >> the big error, the big missing, glaring >> the big error, the big missing , glaring thing missing missing, glaring thing missing in the image is catherine's wedding ring. and i find that of all the things, you know, men don't notice these sort of things, but women know them straight away. this is isabel said straight away said to me straight away this morning , wears wedding ring. morning, wears her wedding ring. i known, but now i wouldn't have known, but now i look i think no woman i know look and i think no woman i know would seen without her would be seen without her wedding i can't really wedding ring. i can't really understand circumstances. wedding ring. i can't really understarthe circumstances. wedding ring. i can't really understarthe excuse mstances. wedding ring. i can't really understarthe excuse that nces. wedding ring. i can't really understarthe excuse that was. >> well, the excuse that was given is she a lot of given is that she lost a lot of weight after she had the operation, and therefore her fingers were skinnier and the fings fingers were skinnier and the rings were falling off and they'd gone away to be perfectly plausible. >> but surely just don't have your hand in the photograph in an image. that's. >> no, that's why i think this whole photograph has been made up . up. >> but, but, but but i'm trying to get to the bottom of who's making it up or who. so you're saying that william is credited with taking the picture? you're not he's no not sure because he's got no track on so who track record on that. so who who sendsit track record on that. so who who sends it you saying someone

sends it to you saying someone sent it to william and kate and said, here's a nice picture. >> give this to send to them. i think they sent it straight, straight to the press office. >> pretend sending it had come from and kate. >> pretend sending it had come frorthat's and kate. >> pretend sending it had come frorthat's right. d kate. >> pretend sending it had come frorthat's right. yes, te. >> pretend sending it had come frorthat's right. yes, yes, >> that's right. yes, yes, that's what i think. >> you go anywhere . sit >> don't you go anywhere. sit around as this story around today as this story develops, and we'll find develops, then, and we'll find out about this. could also ask you blast from the you just about, a blast from the past, william's mother, princess diana , love letters she sent to diana, love letters she sent to james hewitt. yes former lover of hers going on sale and they will fetch a lot of money in the usa . usa. >> yes, i interviewed him years ago and he was trying to sell them then. i mean, his own. his only interest then was to make a load of money out of these, love letters . she did love him, letters. she did love him, partly because she needed someone who loved her. i mean, she was very lonely. she was very miserable . she had eating very miserable. she had eating disorders. she would harm herself. and i think that , you

herself. and i think that, you know, at last he's found someone who wanted to use them. but it smells, doesn't it really ? it's smells, doesn't it really? it's an awful thing to do. it's not really respecting her in any way. it's actually. oh, no, i'm going to make a load of money out of this. very sad. >> okay. very sad, very confusing . very complicated as confusing. very complicated as to where these pictures have come from. and to appreciate it. cameron, thank you very much indeed. and you're down and about reporting on the commonwealth summit. >> i will be, yes, i'll be at westminster abbey another busy day. >> yes. and cameron, thank you very much to politics line. >> it was a weekend marked by more pro—palestinian protests in london, raising concerns against extremism . extremism. >> and today three former conservative home secretary amber rudd , sajid javid and amber rudd, sajid javid and priti patel are calling for a unhed priti patel are calling for a united political consensus to tackle what they're calling the real threats from islamist extremists, far right extremists and others . and others. >> now this comes as the

community secretary, michael gove, prepares to announce a new government definition of extremism . let's go to our extremism. let's go to our political correspondent, olivia utley. what's he trying to do here? olivia >> what michael gove is trying to do is crack down on extremism. it's as simple as that. extremism. it's as simple as that . we have seen these that. we have seen these pro—palestine marches on the streets of london pretty much every saturday since october. the seventh, and gove is worried that some of these marches are being led by extremists he would like to make sure that those who are participating in those marches know exactly what they're doing, know who are organising those marches, that they're not just burying their headin they're not just burying their head in the sand. and his way to try and do that is to redefine the definition of extremism. anyone who falls foul of this new definition of extremism would be any group which falls foul of this definition. the government would refuse to engage with them. but the problem for those in the conservative party and beyond is that the new definition of

extremism , as we think it will extremism, as we think it will be, is very loose indeed . it's be, is very loose indeed. it's anyone who undermines the british system of liberal democracy. well, what exactly does that mean? obviously, one person's extremist view is another person's reasoned argument would, for example , argument would, for example, gender critical feminists fall under this new umbrella turm of extremism? would fundamentalist christians, those on the right who believe that abortion is wrong and that life is sacred from birth? could they fall foul of this definition of extremism? and without having any sort of talk with with groups, with faith groups, there have been those aides in parliament have been urging michael gove to have conversations with faith groups before putting this definition into law. without those conversations, could you end up in a situation where groups are just accidentally part of this

definition of extremism? the government refuses to engage with them, and you end up in a situation where free speech has been quite, quite drastically curtailed. that is what these three home secretaries are worried about this morning . worried about this morning. >> olivia, thanks very much indeed. >> other stories coming into the newsroom this morning with the time at 716, politicians, tech companies and financial institutions are to meet in london today to tackle international fraud. it's being hosted by the british government andifs hosted by the british government and it's the first of its kind. we spoke to the security minister about this earlier. >> already we're leading on bringing fraud down. so it's down 13% year on year. and we've already led globally with the onune already led globally with the online fraud charter, which is a huge moment where we've got tech companies, the largest tech companies, the largest tech companies and other companies , companies and other companies, telecoms companies to work together to protect the british people and today, that's all about that to partners. about bringing that to partners. >> the mother of brianna ghey

next. now. it was one of the late

queen's greatest legacies. the commonwealth. and today, the king will pledge to continue to serve the commonwealth to the best of his ability , despite him best of his ability, despite him not being able to attend the service himself. well however, in a fast paced global environment, some believe the commonwealth not what it used commonwealth is not what it used to and now an outdated to be and it's now an outdated project . project. >> so are the naysayers, right? let's find out, because joining us, the ceo of the conservative friends of the commonwealth, sunil sharma, who believes it is still relevant, and the author and broadcaster jenny barnett, who believes that it isn't. >> well, let's start with you, jenny, and get some response from sunil to all of this. why do you think that this is an outdated celebration today? doesn't it do a lot of good for the commonwealth? >> well, it should do. if you look at the word commonwealth. but british companies control more than $1 trillion of, for instance, african resources. gold diamonds, gas, oil, land,

roughly four times the size of the uk and africa loses more than £30 billion a year than it receives in aids or loans. so it's hardly commonwealth. what's happening ? it was british empire happening? it was british empire day that's changed. but afua hirsch, the guardian columnist, claims that it is a contemporary manifestation of the british empire, whilst philip murphy, director of the institute for commonwealth studies at the university of london, he's called it an irrelevant institution , wallowing in institution, wallowing in imperial amnesia . we have to imperial amnesia. we have to come to terms with the fact that the world is changing . we aren't the world is changing. we aren't the world is changing. we aren't the be all and end all of everything . even kanneh—mason everything. even kanneh—mason says that at the end of the, last night of the proms, that the music should be played land of hope and glory. we have to rethink where we are in the glow on the globe , and we have to on the globe, and we have to look at quite what the

commonwealth is doing, because it doesn't seem to be serving, 20. there are 2.6 billion people, in the commonwealth, making up a quarter of the world's land mass. what are we doing for them? >> but what do you what? >> but what do you what? >> you're not part of it. so why? why do you care? >> i care that we have an egalitarian globe . i care that egalitarian globe. i care that we don't have people starving in jamaica , who are who are also jamaica, who are who are also wanting to leave the commonwealth. 14 caribbean countries are wanting to us to pay countries are wanting to us to pay reparations for the slave trade . we have to look at who we trade. we have to look at who we are now, who we were then, and what shifted and self—sufficiency is part of it. global warming is part of it. and we are no longer the old lady of the world. >> well, sunil, there's a lot for you to unpack there. i mean, first of all, she doesn't think there's a shared wealth between these countries, but equally, she thinks of outdated she thinks it's sort of outdated concept of imperialism. >> yeah, i think that's nonsense

. you have to ask the. i think it's a reoccurring theme that's happening in britain at the moment, where we constantly want to talk ourselves down more than anyone else seems to want to. british people seem obsessed with down the with talking britain down the commonwealth. we have to keep saying this is it's a voluntary organisation. so these countries voluntarily of this voluntarily are part of this group. they choose to be here if they don't like the commonwealth and they think it's imperialistic they think imperialistic and they think it's can leave. it's colonial, they can leave. they we're on 56 nations they don't. we're on 56 nations now. have last year now. two have joined last year that have had no ties with the british empire in togo and gabon. so they've clearly seen value in the commonwealth. i think we should let these countries decide value they countries decide what value they see they don't. they see and what they don't. they don't to be lectured us don't need to be lectured by us to tell what to think. to tell them what to think. >> jenny, >> see, sunil, jenny, jenny's very know, very very you know, she's very incensed lot of what's incensed by by a lot of what's going on there. in short, she , going on there. in short, she, she seems to believe that without the british influence, the british empire influence, whatever that these countries would get on better. there

wouldn't be starving children there wouldn't be, the famine and the dearth that there is. would that be the case, do you think if they were to go it alone, absolutely not true . so alone, absolutely not true. so let's look at the facts before, you know, i don't want i hate talking about the british empire because the british empire is one commonwealth is something one in commonwealth is something else. stop else. but if we're going to stop british compare british empire, let's compare british empire versus other empires. british empires. not to 2024, british empire abolished slavery. british empire brought law and order a lot of these order to a lot of these countries . british empire countries. british empire stopped tribes from countries. british empire stoppeyeach tribes from countries. british empire stoppeyeach other. bes from countries. british empire stoppeyeach other. britishn killing each other. british empire brought education across british empire brought democracy to these countries. so if we're going to talk about british empire, let's talk the empire, let's talk about in the context of versus as context of versus empires, as opposed what we seem to be opposed to what we seem to be obsessed about doing now, is comparing it to 2024. it's not fair. it's not right. we should talk about what the commonwealth bnngs brings today, which is shared history, we history, shared values. we look at is doing in parts at what china is doing in parts of africa in terms of i would look at that as soft look at that as almost soft colonialism. i think there's we've being so we've with the world being so fractured right now with russia, ukraine, allies

ukraine, we need more allies together , these smaller nations together, these smaller nations have an opportunity to actually have an opportunity to actually have an opportunity to actually have an international say. >> and they don't get any sensible point, isn't it, jenny, in world of geopolitical in a world of geopolitical instability these countries in a world of geopolitical instactively these countries in a world of geopolitical instactively choosing countries in a world of geopolitical instactively choosing to untries in a world of geopolitical instactively choosing to be ries in a world of geopolitical instactively choosing to be part are actively choosing to be part of this? in fact, i believe they even voted for the to even voted for the king to remain head the remain the head of the commonwealth. this a democrat commonwealth. this is a democrat decision to be part of it, and they're benefiting it . they're benefiting from it. >> well, we have to look at the changing nature of the globe. we are not an empire and that we are. no, no. but sooner talks about how we went in and we made things better for everybody . things better for everybody. it's not true. it was land grab. it's not true. it was land grab. it was resource grab. and you cannot look at this country in the context of the patronage that that you're talking about. when the soviet union split, people demanded autonomy. latvia estonia, belarus and so on. and that's what lots of people are saying now. they want to be a republic. even australia is talking about it, that people

wish to stand alone . they don't wish to stand alone. they don't wish to stand alone. they don't wish to stand alone. they don't wish to have somebody over them in a paternal sense. and that's what you're talking about . what you're talking about. >> so, neil, what do you think of that? >> well, all 56 nations are independent. >> none of them are governed or controlled by the uk. they're all independent. we removed british from british commonwealth. so it's just the commonwealth. so it's just the commonwealth. think australia commonwealth. i think australia is example when is a great example of when dunng is a great example of when during they about during the 90s they talked about going republic. debated going republic. they debated about a referendum about it, they held a referendum and overwhelming and the overwhelming majority voted to stay in in a republic. so sorry. without a republic with the king as monarch, let the countries decide if they see value in the commonwealth, let them stay in the commonwealth. if they can leave. if they don't, they can leave. there no, power terms of there is no, power in terms of britain control these nations. that's case. these these that's not the case. these these countries have had the opportunity to be a part of the international stage . we should international stage. we should welcome we should welcome them, we should allow them. see this as them. and we should see this as a opportunity. a brilliant opportunity. unfortunately, in this country, i obsessed about i think we're obsessed about talking what bad britain talking about what bad britain has than what good has done rather than what good britain has done. and i think

it's transpiring into group it's transpiring into a group now, which has absolutely nothing to in terms of nothing to do in terms of britain controlling. >> got to leave it there. thank you very indeed. you both very much indeed. channel and jeni barnett. channel samah and jeni barnett. thank . thank you both. >> really appreciate listening to what that debate up to you at home. >> morning. which side of >> this morning. which side of it stand in? divided it do you stand in? a divided world? does this bring some commonality an outdated commonality or is it an outdated concept? in touch. views concept? get in touch. gb views gb news. >> talking about commonality >> com talking about commonality , they don't get much more common paul coyte as he common than paul coyte as he relates , they're trying to say, relates, they're trying to say, i'm a man of the people. man of the people. that's i was the people. that's what i was trying hey, i thought trying to say. hey, i thought your did really your team did really well yesterday. against villa. yesterday. spurs against villa. >> you much. it >> thank you very much. it wasn't bad. yeah. nil win wasn't bad. yeah. four nil win for spurs. >> away. for spurs. >>aw.y. >> away. away from home. >> away. away from home. >> at villa park >> away. away from home. >>well at villa park >> away. away from home. >>well in at villa park >> away. away from home. >>well in the at villa park >> away. away from home. >>well in the race at villa park >> away. away from home. >>well in the race fort villa park >> away. away from home. >>well in the race for the la park >> away. away from home. >>well in the race for the top ark as well in the race for the top six the top four. it's all six and the top four. it's all looking good. game looking very good. the game between and jurgen klopp between pep and jurgen klopp honours there and arsenal, honours even there and arsenal, they big winners over honours even there and arsenal, theyweekend big winners over

guardiola, it just shows because even though pep guardiola is someone look there's pep, you wouldn't argue with him but still bruyne are still kevin de bruyne are they're real pique in they're real fit of pique in front everybody. pep front of everybody. pep guardiola don't they guardiola says why don't they just you know how much he just proves you know how much he wants and that's fine. wants to play and that's fine. he's got to prove to me. he's just got to prove to me. i mean, one of the mean, he's probably one of the best in world best players in the world indeed. mean, the indeed. i mean, it's the argument. i mean, do argument. i mean, i, i do totally understand exactly how he feels because, for example, earlier when i was told there's a chance he's not going to be any sport in the 8:00, i mean, i reacted in a very similar fashion. yes. so i can understand we understand that. i think we probably look, there we probably have. look, there we are. trying to be are. it's i was trying to be very calm about situation, very calm about the situation, but understand. there we but you can understand. there we are. and keep very calm. are. i try and keep very calm. but was i would react. but that was how i would react. so and kevin de bruyne are so me and kevin de bruyne are very similar that people just very similar in that people just wouldn't believe that we have staffed the dress like that. >> that on and >> you have that hat on and things that . things like that. >> no, no, just got him off >> no, no, i just got him off the street. was happened the street. he was just happened to be passing and so. >> what's happened? is he >> so what's happened? is he still you, don't know. still subbing you, i don't know. we'll we'll have to we'll have to see. we'll have to see. if pep guardiola would

see. but if pep guardiola would probably from playing, probably ban me from playing, i probably won't even be in tomorrow for reacting in that way. by way, with the way. but by the way, with the oscars, what do you oscars, you know, what do you think supporting strangle think best supporting strangle what i did there with on the pitch, what you think is possibility mileage? possibility of some mileage? yeah, because yeah, yeah, because i like to show acting anyway, show my acting ability anyway, top table tight top of the table tight tight tight top of the table tight tight tigiliverpool, arsenal and, city. yeah. >> arsenal. >> arsenal. >> and then the next bit, you know, playing for, for places in the top four. oh very tight as well . spurs the top four. oh very tight as well. spurs did the top four. oh very tight as well . spurs did themselves great well. spurs did themselves great favour yesterday. that's an amazing win over villa though i didn't expect it. >> and i said earlier you know i'd avoided it for mother's day and then to try and watch it later. but to win four nil at villa park. and the fact that they'd such record as they'd had such a good record as well. released the well. opta have released the stats, way. yeah for stats, by the way. yeah for fourth place, you're not going to this because i'll do it to like this because i'll do it anyway. 54% chance of anyway. spurs 54% chance of finishing fourth, although still two points behind villa with a game in hand, but that game in handis game in hand, but that game in hand is away. chelsea this is certainly not a one game villa 40% manchester united 2% chance

long as the truth, as long as there something horribly there is not something horribly wrong one of these people wrong with one of these people and don't have any hair or and they don't have any hair or something. now, unless there's a lie like that , then i don't lie like that, then i don't really see what the problem is. i'm at metro i'm looking at the metro newspaper. they've sucked newspaper. they've been sucked in gone. i'm in by it. they've gone. i'm smiles. better at kate's joyous mother's day photo. they mother's day photo. so they haven't even twigged on. that has been. >> i had to check with dawn in the break about what was wrong with sleeve in the picture. with the sleeve in the picture. i can't even see. i'm with you eamonn. i don't know what's going on. >> the issue is interesting . you >> the issue is interesting. you mentioned the front page of the newspapers because the sun, the mirror and as you said, the metro have got happy metro have all got happy mother's picture. isn't it mother's day picture. isn't it lovely the children. mother's day picture. isn't it lovea' the children. mother's day picture. isn't it lovea lovely, the children. mother's day picture. isn't it lovea lovely, heartwarmingen. it's a lovely, heartwarming picture. that's line they've it's a lovely, heartwarming pictu|on that's line they've it's a lovely, heartwarming pictu|on every line they've it's a lovely, heartwarming pictu|on every otherne they've it's a lovely, heartwarming pictu|on every other papery've it's a lovely, heartwarming pictu|on every other paper has gone on every other paper has gone on every other paper has gone on every other paper has gone on the what's wrong? why is this airbrush ? why is the this airbrush? why is the picture being killed now? it might have been an edition issue . you know, early editions . you know, the early editions might have got the might not have got the kill nofice might not have got the kill notice the picture . and it's notice on the picture. and it's the fact that the as isabel said, rome international picture

agencies picture , agencies withdrew the picture, put a kill note. it doesn't happen that often. it has happenedin happen that often. it has happened in the past, but it doesn't happen often when they've about they've got serious doubts about they've got serious doubts about the themselves. is the picture themselves. that is what gives credence. but what gives this credence. but i think a pr disaster for the think it's a pr disaster for the royal family. and if i was kate in particular, i'd be waking up this morning absolutely spitting feathers. >> oh me too. >> oh me too. >> that's something that was meant to calm down. all the speculation her and speculation about her health and her relationship has has triggered more, even more speculation. >> i think it's fair to say that the royal family often airbrush pictures. you only have to look at a picture of the waleses . at a picture of the waleses. their christmas card was the four of them. a lot of people said you see leg in four of them. a lot of people said picture see leg in four of them. a lot of people said picture andze leg in four of them. a lot of people said picture and one leg in four of them. a lot of people said picture and one of leg in four of them. a lot of people said picture and one of louie's] that picture and one of louie's fingers missing. that picture and one of louie's fingers the1issing. that picture and one of louie's fingers the reason these four and >> but the reason these four and you'll be looking and saying, what you'll be looking and saying, thwe're not really sure you can >> we're not really sure you can sit in minutia. i pick over this and it is, but and whatever it is, but basically not pulling basically it's not worth pulling unless . unless. >> yeah, unless. >> yeah, unless. >> well, i think for an image, it's only purpose was to quash conspiracy theories. this has

done exactly the opposite and created a whole new set. it just wasn't worth the risk. to be honest, they probably shouldn't have put a picture out at all rather than put one out that they photoshopped. then they have photoshopped. and then and legitimate and there are legitimate questions, for questions, i think, for kensington it. kensington palace about it. >> mean, >> very much so. yeah i mean, who to put out who made the decision to put out how eyeballs saw how many eyeballs saw this picture thought it was a picture and thought it was a goodidea picture and thought it was a good idea to things down, good idea to calm things down, to an image like this out, to put an image like this out, not fact that it is not just the fact that it is quite clearly airbrushed you quite clearly airbrushed as you say, people do say, isabel, lots of people do that. family have done that. the royal family have done that. the royal family have done that in the past, also the that in the past, but also the fact she's wearing fact that it's she's not wearing her rings when her wedding rings now when there's now there's so much speculation now we're talking about the state of the marriage. >> back, back to those >> go back, go back to those four things there. >> want don to point >> because i want don to point out what's wrong with these, because you will not be because you at home will not be seeing you'll not be seeing this. you'll not be noticing right? noticing that it's there. right? so left, the family of so the top left, the family of four, anything that's generally would then go to go to the close ups. >> well, in that top left one, there's a couple of points. number one, you can't see kate's wedding ring engagement ring wedding ring or engagement ring from also from princess diana. but also there questions about from princess diana. but also the|foliage questions about from princess diana. but also the|foliage on questions about from princess diana. but also the|foliage on the jestions about

something and they need to do something and they need to do something pronto quash this, something pronto to quash this, because divert because all it's done is divert attention away from the cause that want talk about that they want to talk about exactly that. >> and but to agree eamonn, >> and but to agree with eamonn, it boring . and we had this it is boring. and we had this conversation outside. it's like, oh whatever. but i mean, oh yeah, whatever. but i mean, this what people are gonna be this is what people are gonna be talking and even if talking about. and even if you're in the you're not interested in the royal many people royal family and many people are actually poring this and actually poring over this and talking but you still talking about it, but you still don't they're going to don't believe they're going to address this. >> going to grab this >> no one's going to grab this today hi , folks. for me today and say, hi, folks. for me today and say, hi, folks. for me to be a bit of a mistake, what would do? would you do? >> eamonn? would you do? >> what nn? would you do? >> what i1? would you do? >> what i would confront it and i say somebody thought it i would say somebody thought it was idea because there was a good idea because there was a good idea because there was pluck pullover was a pluck in her pullover or whatever it obviously whatever it is, and it obviously wasn't shouldn't wasn't a good idea. we shouldn't have thank you and have done it. and thank you and bye anyway, begins. what do bye bye anyway, begins. what do you want to talk about? the world your oyster. you've got you want to talk about? the wor|minutes. oyster. you've got two minutes. >> going to talk about the >> i'm going to talk about the distress elderly this distress of elderly people, this is and saying is the independent. and saying that we're that it. of course, we're all living long. that's one of living too long. that's one of the main problems. no, i mean, you we are. i mean, you know, we are. i mean, there's 90 year people are there's 90 year old people are going hospitals and there's going into hospitals and there's no room for them, and they're

and they're. one man woke up and was distressed that the was very distressed that the woman next to him dead. you woman next to him was dead. you know, are terrible things know, there are terrible things happening in the nhs at the moment with elderly people. they're not getting the care they should be getting. and, you know it's appalling and know, it's just appalling and scores of families have come forward to share harrowing allegations of neglect. as one of the top doctor warns that elderly people are receiving care, so there's no point living longer if you're not living better. and i think it also bnngs better. and i think it also brings up that whole assisted dying situation again, which i will say is just a nonsense that people should be prevented from a dignified death and going when they want. i agree, i can tell you now, isabel cameron, to push the button on me. oh gosh, i don't want to be sitting there. i be pushing that button, i won't be pushing that button, i'm well, are you i'm afraid. well, who are you going get will you do it? going to get to? will you do it? >> i'll do it. >>— >> i'll do it. >> i'll do it. >> i'll do it. be >> i'll do it. be around >> i'll do it. i'll be around this afternoon. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> want to em— >> i don't want to be responsible for ending your life, it not. life, believe it or not. >> but, i mean, i think

i'iow. now. >> yeah. kensington palace has serious questions to answer after it's been removed from at least four major photo agencies over fears it's been manipulated or altered. yeah. >> so has the image been photoshopped? that's the question. look they've assured you things you won't even notice. what's wrong there? i don't either, but it's creating a fuss. i think the fact is, isabel , that someone has isabel, that someone has attempted to do something. it doesn't matter how drastic it is or not. just is it the idea that that they they have sorted out a seam or they've been something that makes you question the veracity of. >> were those four children smiling with kate in that exact moment to reassure us anything that makes you think this might not be legitimate is a concern for those news agencies. and therefore a massive, massive pr whoopsie from kensington palace. >> and so as a result, you are seeing the trees in bloom at the wrong time of the year and

you're saying, well, what about the two ring on kate's finger, which i don't think is a photoshopping blip necessarily, but it's one of the questions that have been stoked by this image, and probably should have been press been picked up by their press office it out. office before they put it out. >> apparently, she often doesn't wear rings at home, so no wear her rings at home, so no big deal, you could say. but you know, perhaps just don't put your the photograph your hand in the photograph because all because it's going to spark all of yes, yes. tight of these dramas. yes, yes. tight jeans, just abdominal jeans, having just had abdominal surgery, would you be surgery, you know, would you be wearing necessarily? and surgery, you know, would you be wea|of; necessarily? and surgery, you know, would you be wea|of questionsassarily? and surgery, you know, would you be wea|of questions sparked and surgery, you know, would you be wea|of questions sparked byd surgery, you know, would you be wea|of questions sparked by all lots of questions sparked by all of this. a little bit earlier on, actually spoke to tom on, we actually spoke to tom tugendhat the government. tugendhat from the government. he's and he's a security minister and we quizzed this quizzed him about this particular image . particular image. >> you and i both know that i'm not going to comment on anything from palace. the from kensington palace. the truth images and image truth about images and the image distortion is something that has come in other areas, and come up in other areas, and we've to make sure that what we've got to make sure that what we've got to make sure that what we in democracies or indeed we do in democracies or indeed when fighting fraud is make when fighting fraud is we make sure that we see, we can sure that what we see, we can trust. and that's why the stop think fraud campaign that we've launched weeks ago is launched only a few weeks ago is so . so important. >> fraud, fraud. yeah. i'm sorry

i'm not getting hot under the collar about this, but, i mean, i accept somebody may have fiddled with something, but do you know there are people who who put filters on their instagram pictures? do you know that? no. in the modern world, it's >> no. in the modern world, it's not deal to alter your not a big deal to alter your photograph. and i think the royals have often done this in the in the the past. but i think in the context trying to reassure context of trying to reassure the public, it's gone down really get the really badly. let's get the thoughts morning of our thoughts this morning of our royal cameron royal correspondent cameron walker, all it walker, because cameron, all it has fanned the has done has fanned the conspiracy theorists flames, does not? does it not? >> certainly has , >> yeah, it certainly has, isabel. course, the whole isabel. of course, the whole point out this point of putting out this photograph in the first place was try reassure the was to try and reassure the pubuc was to try and reassure the public those conspiracy public that those conspiracy theories of wales's health were princess of wales's health were all rubbish, all nonsense, and she's perfectly happy recovering as expected with her children at adelaide cottage in windsor. but then we started to see online shortly after the photograph was published that members of, you know, social media communities were pointing out that there were pointing out that there were slight distortions with the

image. the most notable one was princess charlotte's sleeve, followed by the princess of wales's zip on her jumper. but wales's zip on herjumper. but i think the nail in the coffin for kensington palace here was that four reputable international news agencies decided to kill. in other words, pull the image from their websites because of course, it's their reputation on the line as well. when paying customers, paying media organisations wants to use a news image, but in fact that image, as is the allegation, has been manipulated . that's what been manipulated. that's what the associated press used that word manipulated. and clearly this has created a bit of a pr disaster for kensington palace. the press association, which is the big agency here in the united kingdom, has not pulled the image at the moment. but they say they are seeking they do say they are seeking urgent from urgent clarification from kensington palace about those allegations . and prince william allegations. and prince william is at the heart of this, i'm afraid, because he is the guy we have been told, who took that image of his wife and his three children. now there could be

perfectly innocent explanation as to why this happened. perhaps they wanted a perfect image with they wanted a perfect image with the three kids and kate looking at the camera, all smiling at the same time. so they took 4 or 5 images and morphed it on top of another. but the photo? of one another. but the photo? well, not the apparent photoshopping some kind of photoshopping or some kind of manipulation, an manipulation, clearly has an issue trust here. and it's issue of trust here. and it's the optics which are the problem here, because there has been so much speculation online and everybody would have been scrutinising this image, and it is an issue of trust, i'm afraid. kensington palace, as i said, have not commented as of yet, but it clearly has completely overshadowed the reason i'm stood outside westminster today, westminster abbey today, which is commonwealth service , is the commonwealth service, which william is expected which prince william is expected to thank you very much indeed. >> thank you very much indeed. also, what goes? where does it bnng also, what goes? where does it bring us now? gb news royal correspondent cameron walker there. vanity fair royal editor katie nicholl with us now . katie nicholl with us now. kitty, katie nicholl with us now. kitty, kitty, kitty, where do we begin with this? it's either a big mistake, it's just a simple mess up or or or what?

>> well, or you're going to fuel into those conspiracy theories even further. i think, you know, the irony in all of this was that when that picture dropped on social yesterday, and obviously the papers had it for mothering sunday, i think everyone breathed a sigh of relief because this whole where is narrative has continued is kate narrative has continued for something like 76 days now, and i think you sort of look at that picture and you think, oh, okay, she's looking well, she's looking healthy. she's there with children. how lovely with her children. how lovely that prince of wales that it was the prince of wales that it was the prince of wales that took the photograph. i suppose this is indicative of suppose this is so indicative of the age that we are in. so that picture, just to explain to people probably don't people that probably don't understand this happens, understand how this happens, is that have gone to that picture will have gone to the at kensington palace, the team at kensington palace, where some digital where possibly some digital editing mean, editing happens. i mean, prince of wales a professional of wales is not a professional photographer. okay? it's nice that that image, but that he's taken that image, but someone have had have someone might have had to have sharpened something up. it will have checked the have then been checked by the press office. it will have then gone so it's not like it's gone out. so it's not like it's just immediately out goes just immediately put out goes through sort of through some sort of a processing. as such, the big question it someone

question here is, was it someone at kensington palace in the digital who has altered digital team who has altered that or could it have that image, or could it have been something with high tech cameras and we don't know what this was shot on. we know she uses a lighter, but we don't know what william shot it on. has the camera kicked up into action? spotted something has the camera kicked up into action? offtted something has the camera kicked up into action? off and something has the camera kicked up into action? off and done?�*|ing has the camera kicked up into action? off and done? what slightly off and done? what a modern can do . so i think modern camera can do. so i think the difficulty in all of this is we haven't a response we haven't had a response from kensington palace. they have been quiet on this. been very, very quiet on this. possibly we might get something later on today, my later on today, but my experience this is they'll experience of this is they'll probably let this out probably just let this ride out and move on to and we will move on to other issues like commonwealth day. >> let it ride out, >> if they do let it ride out, will they be allowed to get away with that? or will say with that? or will people say you're fabricate ing pictures? >> well, think what's so major >> well, i think what's so major in is that for in all of this is that for international picture, agencies have image. that's have killed this image. that's really think of really rare. i can't think of a time since i've been doing this job for the best part of 15 years, where a royal image has been recalled. so that's highly unusual. been recalled. so that's highly unusual . it might force unusual. it might force kensington palace's hand into answering might need to answering so they might need to find how are on

manoeuvres? >> there is an argument that perhaps their mischief making because, the because, let's be honest, the royal photograph that wales royal photograph that the, wales has christmas had has put out for christmas had obvious photo shops in it. i mean , i think we can show it on mean, i think we can show it on screen now, but you can't see the princess of wales's leg anywhere and one of the children hasn't got a finger. one of louie's fingers is mysteriously missing on the arm there. they use photoshop. that's not the problem. perhaps, you know, problem. so perhaps, you know, have they overstepped the mark? these agencies ? or do you these news agencies? or do you think they're trying think that they're just trying to out on an image that's to point out on an image that's designed to that kate is designed to tell us that kate is fine and reassure us? well, they can't the veracity of it. can't judge the veracity of it. >> well, the agencies will say that they cannot accept and that they they cannot accept and distribute an image that has been that heavily photoshopped because you've manipulated it. and we can't put and it's like we can't put a news story out. >> photograph was missing kate's leg and finger. so and leg and the finger. so and i think that was taken by a very well esteemed and respected royal photographer who knows exactly doing. royal photographer who knows exa so' doing. royal photographer who knows eano something'soing. royal photographer who knows eano something's going on >> so something's going on within the palace somewhere

where there is some sort of photoshopping, or whoever is in charge of then taking that pure image perhaps needs a bit of a brush up, lose their job. brush up, lose theirjob. >> but, you know, honestly, i've looked at this and boring isabel silly with this, but looked at silly with this, but i looked at these images that we show these four images that we show on and you can say on screen. and yes, you can say there's crease hisjumper. there's a crease in his jumper. there's sleeve has been there's a her sleeve has been lengthened whatever. but my lengthened or whatever. but my point is why don't understand point is why i don't understand why if they have affected her sleeve there in some way and people will be looking and saying, what are they talking about? they're talking about just above her thumb. and, but why? what's the advantage they're this they're getting out of this anyway ? i don't really see what. anyway? i don't really see what. >> well, i mean, i suppose you might argue that it's best to just take the image if just take the image and if everyone doesn't look quite picture hasn't been picture perfect and hasn't been photoshopped within an inch of their life, that's better than running into perhaps perfecting something into something and then running into these of issues, which and these sorts of issues, which and it could be a completely innocent mishap. or just let me innocent mishap. orjust let me just get this clear. >> the fact that it has been

tampered with at all. and if that's proven to be, then you think there may be other things in the picture that you cannot trust? >> well, yes. >> well, yes. >> and that's why the agencies that's why the agencies have pulled because they've manipulated. >> questions leaves >> questions about the leaves on the people saying, the trees. people are saying, would wearing tight , would you be wearing tight, skinny in the immediate skinny jeans in the immediate aftermath serious abdominal aftermath of serious abdominal surgery, any woman that's had a caesarean would probably say no. could maternity could be wearing maternity jeans. who knows? also the jeans. who knows? and also the fact she's not wearing fact that she's not wearing a ring could an innocent ring again could be an innocent explanation. know, she's explanation. you know, she's just . just had surgery. >> she, you know, can be difficult to get your rings on your finger that, your finger after that, you might swollen. she might be a bit swollen. she might be a bit swollen. she might lost weight. i mean, might have lost weight. i mean, i there's possible i think there's possible explanations. the explanations. i just think the timing so unfortunate timing of this is so unfortunate because the last time we were sitting talking, was sitting here talking, it was about of those conspiracy about all of those conspiracy theories. kate? this theories. where's kate? this was meant end that. and meant to end all of that. and here we are discussing i mean, there are people there on there are people out there on social kate's social media thinking kate's been onto picture, been planted onto this picture, you and is, you know, around. and there is, by absolutely no by the way, absolutely no suggestion that has suggestion that that has happened. clearly there's happened. but clearly there's been photoshopping. and

been some photoshopping. and yes, point possibly yes, as you point out, possibly someone might end up losing their this. their job over this. >> whoever the next >> whoever takes the next picture, it's kate picture, whether it's kate wills, professional wills, a professional photographer, of the photographer, think of the scrutiny picture, scrutiny that next picture, whenever is. well and that's whenever it is. well and that's the problem with social media, because it's not just 1 or 2 pairs of eyes on it. >> perhaps at the palace approving this and sending it off as a lovely mothering sunday celebratory image it's millions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyestory image it's millions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyes on image it's millions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyes on it.1age it's millions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyes on it. and it's millions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyes on it. and actually.lions off as a lovely mothering sunday ce eyes on it. and actually they of eyes on it. and actually they pick, you say, the fact pick, like you say, the fact that there leaves on the that there are leaves on the trees, fact that, you know, trees, the fact that, you know, louie's fingers louie's got his little fingers crossed. do do crossed. i mean, kids do do that, suppose. but every that, i suppose. but every little minuscule of little minuscule particle of that photograph is being analysed. >> social media people, you know, they think they're the experts on on everything. and, you and from you know, and i speak from experience here whereby if i'm accused of having botox again and i look at me, come on, prod and i look at me, come on, prod and poke wherever you want, should i be asking for my money back? >>i back? >> i think you're looking very dappen >> i think you're looking very dapper, you know? >> i all this. yeah, >> but i get all this. yeah, look at him. he's all that look at him. he's had all that surgery he's had all that surgery done. he's had all that work done. does make me work done. it does make me laugh, actually. >> well, and imagine the

scrutiny they're under. scrutiny that they're under. well what, to be honest, well that's what, to be honest, you just context of you know, just in the context of not being incredibly not only being incredibly unwell, a pap picture unwell, having a pap picture taken last taken against your wishes last week, uncle parading week, having your uncle parading around a celebrity show, around on a celebrity show, embarrassing the embarrassing you, this was the last that the princess of last thing that the princess of wales needed or wanted. >> and so must be >> and so she must be legitimately really miffed this morning. >> well, i would hope that she hasn't spent too much time on social media and that she's actually just focusing on getting better, and i'm sure that's exactly what she's doing. but i think it's yes, it's but i just think it's yes, it's unfortunate to actually but i just think it's yes, it's unfortlthe e to actually but i just think it's yes, it's unfortlthe seat to actually but i just think it's yes, it's unfortlthe seat and to actually but i just think it's yes, it's unfortlthe seat and have ctually get in the seat and have a picture like that taken, less than months after major than two months after major surgery, tough . and then surgery, that's tough. and then to have it scrutinised in this way. so i actually really hope that her focus is just on her recovery. and of course, for the royal family will be royal family their focus will be on today. so on commonwealth day today. so the the pictures and the images and the pictures and the images and the pictures and the will on and on the footage will move on and on that are expecting a video that we are expecting a video from his majesty the king, and a lot of people will be scrutinising that. lot of people will be scrlthey ng that. lot of people will be scrlthey ng that honest. they will. >> well, i can say he looks very well in it. he looks very, very well in it. he looks very, very

well in it. and the message is, it's robust, it's about resilience. the resilience. it's about the importance commonwealth. importance of the commonwealth. why institution, why this great institution, which as he is? it's which is as old as he is? it's 75. it's its 75th anniversary this year. is important. and so you really seeing charles again reinforce that pledge to serve. but he sort of adds as much as i am able to i'm paraphrasing they are not his exact words, but thatis are not his exact words, but that is the message. as long as i am able to serve you, the commonwealth, that's what i'm going do. commonwealth, that's what i'm goiiyeah,do. commonwealth, that's what i'm goiiyeah, royal photo. dorothy, >> yeah, royal photo. dorothy, do you the royals should do you think the royals should have a professional have used a professional photographer the next time that they a photograph they put a photograph out? that's that's a fair point. that's a that's a fair point. roger from cornwall. who cares who cares if it's an old picture? it's beautiful. the main thing is catherine has recovered. there are more important worry about. important things to worry about. i is an important i think that is an important sentiment. all of that . sentiment. with all of that. sandra, for god's sake, the woman is recovering from major surgery, so she hasn't got her wedding on. so there. so wedding rings on. so there. so what? yeah. well, thank you very much indeed for that . much indeed for that. >> we've got more from you a little bit later on in the

programme as well. i'm looking forward to that and keep your thoughts coming this morning. thoughts coming in this morning. it's of it's dividing opinion. a lot of people like is all, a people feel like this is all, a fuss about nothing. roger, rogen >> spot on. roger says the country is going to hell in a hand cart and you're bothered about a picture kate. get about a picture of kate. get real. think the country is real. i think the country is going to hell a handcart. going to hell in a handcart. i think the world is going to hell in handcart. oh, my. i don't in a handcart. oh, my. i don't think it's been worse. think it's ever been worse. >> i think that's what the >> well, i think that's what the royal family does so well is shine light on lots of shine the light on lots of positive things. and so it's a shame today it's being shame that today it's being overshadowed. and i have to agree we talk agree on that. should we talk about of these other things about some of these other things that are going wrong in the country? of questions about country? lots of questions about how pro—palestinian how these pro—palestinian marches should not be marches should not only be policed, but whether or not as michael gove was saying, the community of its community secretary of its lending credence to extremists. he wants to redefine the terms. but three former conservative home secretaries have warned against that and are calling for against that and are calling for a united political consensus to tackle the real threats that they see.

>> let's go to westminster, olivia utley. she will explain more. olivia good morning to you , good morning, eamonn and isabel. yeah. so michael gove, our communities secretary, wants to toughen up the definition of extremism. now, the reason he wants to do that is because he believes that some of the organisers of the pro—palestinian marches, which are taking place pretty much every saturday in london, are extremists. but under the current definition , they don't current definition, they don't count as extremists. his idea is that you toughen up the definition. you make it about political ideology rather than about action, and you bring big consequences for those who are deemed to be extremists . so deemed to be extremists. so under this new definition, anyone who is deemed to be an extremist would be cut off. ties would be entirely cut with the government meaning that these groups couldn't engage with arms length, government bodies couldn't engage with the civil service, etc. what he is hoping is that that would take some of the take some of the wind out of

the take some of the wind out of the sails of the pro—palestine protests at the weekend, and some people who go along to those protests , sort of burying those protests, sort of burying their sand over the their heads in the sand over the type of people who are organising this might organising this protest might think and not turn think a bit harder. and not turn up on saturdays. the problem is that there are plenty of mps, both inside the conservative party and on the labour benches, two who were worried that this new definition of extremism is just too broad and they're worried that all sorts of people could end up accidentally falling foul of this extremism definition . so, for example, definition. so, for example, gender critical feminists who believe that, sex is innate and women's spaces should be protected, they could end up being defined as extremists under this loose new law. people who believe that abortion is wrong, that life believes at birth. christians they could be branded extremists too, and you could end up in a situation where free speech is curtailed. people are unable to say what they believe because what they

believe could be counted as extremism, even if their actions aren't extremists at all. that's what these former home secretaries are talking about this morning. secretaries are talking about this morning . and there are this morning. and there are lawyers, too, who were piling in, suggesting that the government's new definition of extremism could be left wide open to all sorts of legal claims. so this is a real issue for the government, but something that the communities secretary and the prime minister are going to have to solve very soon. indeed, rishi sunak has made a big play of being very, very concerned about extremism on the streets of britain. he made that speech, last week. they have to do something about this, and they can't be seen to shy away from action at the 11th houn shy away from action at the 11th hour. so it'll be fascinating to see how this develops over the next few days. will we get that government's new definition of extremism or not? >> thank you. thank you very much. olivia utley there, let's get the worst possible days . are get the worst possible days. are just looking behind olivia there. the panorama of the

skyline in london. they're awful grey, dank. >> absolutely disagree. give me cold and clear any day. or even better, a bit of spring and sunshine. what's going to be on the menu today? greg dewhurst has the forecast. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather. we're looking at a damp start across many areas. a lot of cloud through the day today. still rather chilly, particularly along some eastern coast and we can see across the board lots of cloud this morning. outbreaks of light rain and drizzle in places. little change as we go through the day. today we could see a few brighter spells developing across some western fringes . the cloud does lift and fringes. the cloud does lift and break a little to allow some brightness through, but across northwestern uk, northwestern parts of the uk, northern ireland, western scotland, it remains damp. here. outbreaks of rain, temperatures are largely in single figures across north and the east. across the north and the east. highs around 12 or 13 highs again around 12 or 13 towards the south—west. any towards the south—west. in any brighter spells 1 or 2 showers possible here to then through this evening and overnight. the

remains lot of cloud and then remains a lot of cloud and then all eyes on the atlantic. as weather systems start to move in, we see outbreaks of rain spreading northern ireland spreading into northern ireland later wales and later on into wales and southwest england. some clear spells across the spells developing across the north and the east, and here temperatures dipping but temperatures dipping away but further west, rising as the rain moves in. so tuesday a bit of a westie split areas of rain across western areas, slowly pushing north and eastwards through the day . some of this through the day. some of this could be heavy at times, so another cloudy day to come for many. the winds start picking up behind this weather system, but coming southwest, so coming in from the southwest, so that temperatures rise that allows temperatures to rise . best of the dry, brighter weather on across weather holding on across northern of scotland. northern parts of scotland. temperatures starting 13 temperatures starting to rise 13 or the south. or 14 in the south. >> so there we go. spring is in the air, so there is your chance to win a garden gadget package, a shopping spree, an incredible £12,345. >> 12345. you put it together andifs >> 12345. you put it together and it's tax free. so there you

many innocent people . many innocent people. >> who side portion of you know , >> who side portion of you know, frowning and concern. is that right? well, let's discuss this now with the entertainment reporter stephanie takyi regular on the show and hayley palmer as well. good morning ladies. good morning. let's start off with the anti voice stephanie, you don't think that this is the right forum for politics. >> no i do, i do think oh you do. sorry sorry. do you think it's right forum for it. you it's the right forum for it. you see the film industry is based on worldwide events. when you watch movies, reflection watch movies, it's a reflection of life . and over the past of real life. and over the past few years, we've had the most amount of political instability. you telling me this should go amiss from the film industry? no. on one of its biggest nights, i think that is the place where they should be voicing things, and especially with these clips that we've just seen here, like the zone of interest, it won international feature yesterday. it's a poignant holocaust drama . the poignant holocaust drama. the director, of course, is going to have to talk about what's going

on.andi have to talk about what's going on. and i just think with these awards, all these people have influence and i think they should use their influence for the things . i think we do the right things. i think we do like hollywood the glamour. like hollywood for the glamour. i glamour the same i love glamour, but at the same time, respect these people, time, i do respect these people, have opinions and views, and if it to touch on politics, it wants to touch on politics, why not? >> okay, well why not is because i go >> okay, well why not is because igo the >> okay, well why not is because i go the cinema for i go to the cinema for entertainment and escapism. stephanie. and i think if i stephanie. that and i think if i want to hear all those messages, which i work with all during the week, i will a week, i will watch a documentary. yeah, for instance . documentary. yeah, for instance. so, hayley, i like a box of maltesers and speaking my language, sitting there, just something that's that's escapism and a feeling of being entertained. but exactly. i do have to say, i find it very hard to find a film like that nowadays. >> absolutely. i mean, it's an entertainment show. we want to see the glitz and glamour. we want to be entertained. like you just said , with a of just said, with a box of maltesers. and i don't particularly hear particularly want to hear someone's want someone's political view. i want to story. want to to hear their story. i want to see their career, how they've got where they've got to got to, where they've got to like kylie and want to

like kylie and murphy want to celebrate amazing success. celebrate that amazing success. he's from peaky blinders to he's gone from peaky blinders to winning an oscar. that's fantastic. that's what i want to see. i think you should get up. thank you. mum thank you dad. thank you. mum thank you dad. thank you, agent. thank you. mum thank you dad. thank you, agent . see you next thank you, agent. see you next yeah thank you, agent. see you next year. that's all i want to hear. >> that's not the world we live in, is it anymore? >> it's not. and you know, thanks to social media and even what we do on this channel, we're about freedom we're all about freedom of speech. think people speech. and i don't think people should to say what's, should be limited to say what's, when and where if they want to say on the biggest night on the entertainment calendar, you might who when might as well who knows when they'll be back there they'll be back up there receiving an oscar. so if they want say a lasting message to want to say a lasting message to the i think kudos to the world, i think kudos to them. you should use them. i think you should use social media for that. >> think on that night only >> i think on that night only we want talk films. if you want to talk films. and if you look 19, 27, when the look back 19, 27, when the oscars first we oscars first started, we celebrated films . they celebrated films. they publicised their movies. so for me , i don't want to me personally, i don't want to hear it. me personally, i don't want to hearit.i me personally, i don't want to hear it. i think you should take to social media for your political view and leave the night for the entry . actors like

night for the entry. actors like ryan gosling singing. that was brilliant. >> if your thing is, if you just. >> stephanie. yeah, just listen to us here. we've got bridget phillipson, who's shadow phillipson, who's the shadow education standing education secretary, standing by. and as it turns out, bridget, as we get up on bridget, as we get you up on screen now, the arts and we're talking about the oscars and we're talking about are they too politicised or whatever ? and in politicised or whatever? and in a you've got something to a way, you've got something to say today because you say on that today because you think they're being exclusive , think they're being exclusive, too exclusive, and they're they're catering for only people who are upper class . who are upper class. >> my worry is that too few state educated kids are getting the opportunity to study creative and vocational subjects , and that's having an impact in terms of their ability to go on to careers in in music, in drama and much more besides. and that has to change. and we've seen a real squeezing out of those creative subjects in recent years in our schools. and parents tell me just how unhappy they are about that. and i'm determined we win the determined that if we win the

next if we win the election, the next if we win the election, the next government will turn next labour government will turn that around. >> will you do that? i >> and how will you do that? i mean, a lot of people would say at the moment, you know, maths isn't doing particularly well. we're levels reading isn't doing particularly well. we'where levels reading isn't doing particularly well. we'where they vels reading isn't doing particularly well. we'where they need reading isn't doing particularly well. we'where they need rbe.ing isn't doing particularly well. we'where they need rbe. are not where they need to be. are you going to be squeezing out these subjects in our state schools to make way for the arts? what expense? schools to make way for the artswe what expense? schools to make way for the artswe do hat expense? schools to make way for the artswe do needeense? schools to make way for the artswe do need to nse? schools to make way for the artswe do need to see’ schools to make way for the artswe do need to see high and >> we do need to see high and rising standards in our schools, and that applies to the important subjects of english, maths, course it does. maths, of course it does. absolutely. alongside that, maths, of course it does. awantitely. alongside that, maths, of course it does. awant to y. alongside that, maths, of course it does. awant to make alongside that, maths, of course it does. awant to make alon thate that, maths, of course it does. awant to make alon that our|t, i want to make sure that our young people have a broad and balanced curriculum. do balanced curriculum. so they do get opportunity to study get the opportunity to study subjects as art and drama subjects such as art and drama and music, increasingly is and music, which increasingly is not and sadly, it's not the case. and sadly, it's only parents really at the moment who a bit of moment who have got a bit of extra money, who might be able to pay for some of those extra activities that their children are getting opportunities. are getting those opportunities. and state and too few kids in our state schools are. >> see, bridget, i want >> but you see, bridget, i want to why that is. if to know how and why that is. if the arts are squeezed , the arts are being squeezed, what being squeezed what are they being squeezed for? is replacing the arts for? what is replacing the arts at school ?

at school? >> sorry, there's just some very loud , loud, noisy distraction loud, loud, noisy distraction going on in there in the background. what i'm determined to deliver. deliver if we win the election is a review of the curriculum to take account of all of those factors. the change that we would make immediately is around one of the accountability measures by which schools progress schools are judged, the progress eight the moment, eight measure. so at the moment, creative and vocational subjects are in the way are not recognised in the way that i they should be. that i think they should be. i would that a creative or would insist that a creative or vocational subject is included up until the of 16, in the up until the age of 16, in the way that schools are in way that schools are judged in those accountability measures, and make difference and that would make a difference in terms of opening up access to subjects as music and art subjects such as music and art and drama to a much wider range of young people than is the case at moment. and there are big at the moment. and there are big benefits for from those benefits actually for from those subjects of wider subjects in terms of wider academic performance well. academic performance as well. i don't think view as academic performance as well. i don'orhink view as academic performance as well. i don'or the view as academic performance as well. i don'or the other. view as academic performance as well. i don'or the other. i view as academic performance as well. i don'or the other. i want ew as academic performance as well. i don'or the other. i want young s one or the other. i want young people to get a really strong foundation on the basics, but i also them to find also want them to find opportunities love and to opportunities to love and to enjoy and vocational enjoy creative and vocational subjects, , speaking of

subjects, too, speaking of squeezing looking subjects, too, speaking of sq the ring looking subjects, too, speaking of sq the papers looking subjects, too, speaking of sq the papers and looking subjects, too, speaking of sq the papers and it's looking subjects, too, speaking of sq the papers and it's being|g at the papers and it's being reported that if you guys win the election, starmer wants to reduce some of the power from from broader cabinet down to from the broader cabinet down to a gang of four. you wouldn't be in that gang as education secretary. would be, secretary. this would be, i believe, reeves angela believe, rachel reeves angela rayner and pat mcfadden. what would be behind trying to streamline power in this way and how do you know the british pubucisin how do you know the british public is in favour of it? >> this is about how we deliver on our priorities if we win the election right across government . so some of the challenges that we face as a country can't be solved by just one government department alone. they'll need solved by just one government dejto tment alone. they'll need solved by just one government dejto workt alone. they'll need solved by just one government dejto work together'hey'll need solved by just one government dejto work together and ll need solved by just one government dejto work together and they'll us to work together and they'll need have a really sharp need us to have a really sharp focus on how deliver on the focus on how we deliver on the priorities that we've set out as part of that election. so, for example, to example, when it comes to support children with support for children with special needs special educational needs and disabilities area disabilities, that's one area that primarily within the that primarily sits within the department education. but department for education. but where the progress where we can't make the progress that need on this that we need to see on this unless we work more effectively with colleagues health. with colleagues in health. two and more areas besides.

and a much more areas besides. so how we work so it's about how we work together drive the change together to drive the change that we want to see for our country. >> bridget, it's interesting you're talking about arts and performance them performance because i see them as general as not just as very general as not just specific subjects. i do think if you're trained in drama or performance singing or anything like that, i think it helps you in everyday life. it helps you no matter doing her interview, no matter doing her interview, no matter doing her interview, no matter what you do in life. so you going on to be a politician? was there anything at school that you would hark back to and say , that really has back to and say, that really has helped me ? helped me? >> so i had the opportunity to study the violin at school, which was really important in terms of performance skills, in terms of performance skills, in terms of performance skills, in terms of confidence. and, you know, i really loved it. i loved music, i really enjoyed it. and that did make a big difference to me. i think the other area that i found of real benefit was itook that i found of real benefit was i took part a saturday i took part in a saturday morning drama class at a local community centre. was quite community centre. i was quite a shy when i was growing up, shy kid when i was growing up, and that gave me the opportunity

to front lots of to perform in front of lots of people. me confidence people. it gave me a confidence around speaking, working around public speaking, working with want those with others, and i want those opportunities for all of our children and young people. i think it's incredibly important that they get those range of opportunities. some, they'll opportunities. for some, they'll go in those fields go on to careers in those fields and that's fantastic. for others, you it's about others, as you say, it's about making they've got those making sure they've got those skills, and skills, those abilities, and also an enjoyment really, also just an enjoyment really, and comes from and a love that comes from finding something that you really and that really find fascinating and that you enjoy. >> we we're sitting >> we are we're sitting discussing in studio here, whether instance, whether acting, for instance, and back at the oscars and looking back at the oscars last night, acting has last night, whether acting has become too politicised. and we say that 94% of children go to a state school, but just 60% of those children become actors , those children become actors, directors, musicians, etc. do you think there is a case for the undue politicisation of the performing arts ? performing arts? >> i think in a free and open society , we people, including society, we people, including those who win awards and who

have a public platform, have got the right to say what they believe to express their opinions that might include opinions and that might include political might political subjects. it might be sometimes agree or sometimes where i agree or disagree, but i do think it's important people important that, you know, people have to the right have got the right to the right to express a view. i in terms of what i'm responsible for, want to make sure that we've got a diverse range of people that have win have those opportunities to win those because they've had those awards because they've had the study, to study the chance to study, to study drama, example. sadly, drama, for example. and sadly, that's squeezed out of that's being squeezed out of state and i think we've state schools. and i think we've got action to change that. >> thank you very much. thank you. bridget phillipson there. thank hayley, did thank you, so, so, hayley, did you into account you you take into account what you were there of were saying there in terms of the politicisation of the performing you performing arts? and do you think that the way school is at the moment, that it dictates what we are seeing on our screens? >> well , i screens? >> well, i used to have a theatre school eamonn and so children would come along to the theatre school and like what you were earlier, i think were saying earlier, i think it's so important can help it's so important it can help you everyday life with, you you in everyday life with, you know, people skills. >> i used to think if i'm not even dancing, even teaching dancing, i'm teaching confidence. even teaching dancing, i'm teachingup confidence. even teaching dancing, i'm teachingup in confidence. even teaching dancing, i'm teachingup in front onfidence. even teaching dancing, i'm

that a lot of these measures are here to protect someone like you, you obviously feel you don't need them. no. and. and why? why not? and who does need them? >> well, i think a tiny minority of people who fight for them, you know, they want to be seen and they want to be tested and they want to be people to know what what is i mean, this whole business now of emails, you have to say his or her or him or i am or what are you? you know, i think it's wrong . think it's wrong. >> i never fill that in. >> i never fill that in. >> do you fill that in? no, i've not filled that in. >> but i do think. look, is there a sensible point to all this? we've seen what happened to council when to birmingham city council when they their obligations they failed in their obligations to pay women what they were due, and themselves and then bankrupted themselves retrospectively and then bankrupted themselves retrosthey vely and then bankrupted themselves retrosthey arey and then bankrupted themselves retrosthey are investing so if they are investing a little bit of money, making sure they're meeting equality standards is, is that. >> yeah. but there's a difference between the inclusive, inclusive vision and diversity, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. >> it's easy for us to lump it

all in together. but aren't there some important points in there? >> but that was a glaringly obvious sexism equal pay act issue, wasn't it? nothing issue, wasn't it? that's nothing to this sort of like to do with this sort of like wasting money and the nhs do it as well. i mean, we pay all these people thousands, hundreds of of pounds every of thousands of pounds every year really year to tick boxes when really people of cancer . i people are dying of cancer. i mean, you know, i'm not getting the treatment they need mad , the treatment they need mad, what about faulty home what about this faulty home office? dawn another day, office? it dawn another day, another computer system letting us home office seems to be us down. home office seems to be beset with these sorts of problems . what's the latest? problems. what's the latest? >> yeah, basically, this is a system called atlas, which are, is installed in the home office, which , as you say, are having which, as you say, are having huge issues. and when we can't process migrants, we can't the staff are all sort of like either having mental health issues or working from home, and it's just working basically. it's just not working basically. so it's costing the home office, i.e. taxpayers, is us £71 i.e. taxpayers, which is us £71 million, you know, and we all saw what happened with the post office with a dodgy computer

system . so you've got people who system. so you've got people who are sort of like waiting for visa clearances, migration issues, who being left issues, who are just being left waiting with no answers, when it should have been very, very simple to sort. >> so that explains then all these long, lengthy waits. >> it's a part of the explanation. yes >> apart from the fact it's interesting though, these things. you're absolutely right. what you're saying . years and what you're saying. years and years ago, everything ran very smoothly . yeah. suddenly it's smoothly. yeah. suddenly it's now think it was now when you'd think it was going to be better. >> but i suppose that's because the complexity wasn't there. i mean, it was a relatively simple, system system, you know, hand controlled whatever. and now we entrust a, an it system, artificial intelligence to do something that was never required before. it's like we know the price of everything and the value of nothing. >> absolutely. well, that's probably the internet is to blame, isn't it? that's all over the because all the world because people all over can see what over the world can see what other countries are doing and

how they're living, it how they're living, so it becomes a problem . becomes a real problem. >> i think that's it's interesting going back to the main of the day. sorry main story of the day. sorry eamonn the royal picture on the front you you look front pages, if you if you look at sort of like if you run it through ai, there are various results as to how much of the photo been enhanced how photo has been enhanced and how much natural. but much of it is natural. but i mean, the percentages are all over the place. it ranges over the place. it it ranges from 15% up to about 45% that it has artificially produced has been artificially produced rather than just being taken by william. rather than just being taken by williais. rather than just being taken by williais interesting. there was >> it is interesting. there was a great article over the weekend in the paper about the fact that when prince philip joined the royal family , he was hated by 5 royal family, he was hated by 5 or 6 top members of the royal family . family. >> you can imagine. i mean, you hear so much about the queen mother, elizabeth the queen mother. yes. which is the queen elizabeth's mother. yeah. bowes—lyons and apparently she was insufferable. and you just look at her. yeah. and. and you think. you think, you know, you can just imagine her. she like

image has been photoshopped. well, the picture was released yesterday morning and it marked the first official photograph of the first official photograph of the princess of wales since her abdominal surgery in january. >> let's now speak to vanity fair royal editor katie nicholl and royal photographer ian lloyd on this one. ian, what are you thinking about what you're seeing. a lot of us sort of can't see what the fuss is all about. what's your take? >> well, i thought that when i saw the pictures, i thought, what great pictures. mean, try what great pictures. i mean, try to three teenage. well, to get three teenage. well, they're quite teenage, are they're not quite teenage, are they? but three. children they? but three. three children to so wonderfully. and to all smile so wonderfully. and kate a it's a kate look so good. is a it's a cracking picture emotionally. it's obviously just when cracking picture emotionally. it's zoomrsly just when cracking picture emotionally. it's zoom in/just when cracking picture emotionally. it's zoom in some when cracking picture emotionally. it's zoom in some of when cracking picture emotionally. it's zoom in some of the 1en cracking picture emotionally. it's zoom in some of the detail you zoom in some of the detail is, the technology is a problem, which i hadn't realised until it was pointed out. and then you zoom in and see various things, don't you? >> yes. and i just wonder, you know, you've been a royal photographer who spent 20 years photographing in particular. i think queen mother. i mean, think the queen mother. i mean, can remember a time when, can you remember a time when, for , did international

for respect, did international news agencies have out news agencies have sent out a kill notice on a picture saying, absolutely, do not run this picture because we can't guarantee its authenticity and they believe it's been doctored. i mean, it's unprecedented, isn't it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i think it's a bit of an overreaction, to be honest. i mean, i think it's always gone overreaction, to be honest. i memanipulation. always gone overreaction, to be honest. i memanipulation. iilways gone overreaction, to be honest. i memanipulation. i mean, gone on manipulation. i mean, i bought some photographs queen bought some photographs of queen victoria at auction victoria last year at auction and were undoctored. so and these were undoctored. so she very old, i mean, she looked very old, i mean, with under her eyes and with bags under her eyes and lines everything in those lines and everything in those days, did in the days, they did it in the processing, you know, when they were picture, they were printing the picture, they would remove wrinkles and on. would remove wrinkles and so on. it's and it was it's always gone on and it was treated digitally in the digital age. treated quite age. it was treated quite lightly. mean, there was lightly. i mean, there was a funny incident when it was prince edward's wedding in 1999, prince edward's wedding in 1999, prince william was guest and prince william was a guest and the official photographer swapped head. they had, he swapped his head. they had, he was so miserable in the group shot that they found a nice picture at the same occasion of him smiling, so superimposed that photograph . and that onto the photograph. and it's always gone on, but it's always been treated quite likely. it goes likely. we know it goes on and we do ourselves, don't we?

we do it ourselves, don't we? >> see, katie, it's >> well, see, katie, it's fascinating hearing that come from lips and his from ian's lips and his experience of things. it's always gone he said he always gone on. and he said he felt it's been a bit of an overreaction , i must admit. i overreaction, i must admit. i think it's a bit of an overreaction as well, what's your take? >> well, i think it. yes. had you not had, days of speculation on where the princess of wales was , she hasn't been seen in was, she hasn't been seen in pubuc was, she hasn't been seen in public for 76 days, the internet just almost ran away with itself, and things just got out of control. and then she was papped of control. and then she was papped or people. some people don't even think it was her. that was part of it. papped, drove being driven by her mother in, in a car the first time that she'd been seen since christmas. and think the whole point was and i think the whole point was this photograph was intended to sort quash all of those sort of quash all of those conspiracy rumours to make us all feel okay. she's fine. she's clearly still in recovery, but but she's now all the but she's fine. and now all the speculation as to how much of it has digitally manipulated. has been digitally manipulated. so yes, digital manipulation,

airbrushing , it may go back all airbrushing, it may go back all of those years, but i think it's just the significance of it happening now. and people have been quite quick point out been quite quick to point out discrepancies. she's just discrepancies. she's not just with charlotte's and with with charlotte's wrist and her it appears, but her sleeve as it appears, but the fact that the tree in the background is in is fully green , background is in is fully green, there's of discrepancy there's a sort of discrepancy over louis finger. so i think the best thing is for is for the palace to just come out and clarify what's happened. if they can do that this morning, just appease everybody. we can then go on and focus on the commonwealth day service, which is happening later on this this afternoon, which is really, really important. we're going to hear the first broadcast from the king since his cancer diagnosis. and yet you can bet your bottom dollar that it's not just this breakfast news programme. i mean, i'm about to go to buckingham palace broadcast for they're broadcast for nbc. they're running they're running running and they're not running on commonwealth. they're on the commonwealth. they're running story. so you've running on this story. so you've got you've got quash it. got to you've got to quash it. it be a really simple it could be a really simple digital error here. so let's just make that clear and stamp

it out. >> so they've got they've got to nip it in the bud. let's get a thought from ian lloyd about you know how photography's changed. and important and you know why it is important that what we're looking that we know what we're looking at are honest. at and that people are honest. i guess if they are altering a picture because, you know, here we all we are in election year, all around world seen eye around the world we've seen eye pictures of president trump being superimposed with all sorts situations in being superimposed with all sort pope. situations in being superimposed with all sortpope. haven't;ituations in being superimposed with all sort pope. haven't we?:ions in being superimposed with all sortpope. haven't we? out in the pope. haven't we? out in a puffer jacket, you know, people are know what are entitled to know that what they're looking is real. and they're looking at is real. and if something's been changed, don't we the right to know? don't we have the right to know? and the palace still control and can the palace still control the narrative pictures, the narrative with pictures, when make these when we can all make these tweaks, just with one of tweaks, even just with one of these, our mobile phones ? these, our mobile phones? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i it's >> absolutely. » i >> absolutely. >> i it's i remember >> yeah. i mean, it's i remember a story of princess margaret in africa, and she was, within, sort of, well, i don't know, quite a few hundred yards of a rhinoceros. and the photographer cropped that. so that she was apparently quite near it. and that gave an impression that it was a dangerous situation and

therefore sold a photograph , therefore sold a photograph, that kind of thing, has always happened , and it's, it's it happened, and it's, it's it it's, you know , to sell images, it's, you know, to sell images, isuppose it's, you know, to sell images, i suppose , but i well, what i suppose, but i well, what about that, katie, do you think that the palace can still control the narrative in the modern digital age? >> you know, given that we can all alter our pictures so easily and we're all such experts in it? >> well, look, i think when you when look at their very when you look at their very slick , social operation, slick, social media operation, the that they put the amazing videos that they put out, we'll be on out, you know, we'll be on engagements and within minutes of fabulous video is of that, a fabulous video is going out. so can they control the narrative? can. the narrative? yes they can. absolutely. we're absolutely. and i think we're seeing with social media. i seeing that with social media. i think the problem is with something like this, the longer the speculation and the rumour mill continues, then they lose that of the narrative, that control of the narrative, which if it was me, my advice which is if it was me, my advice would be, well, let's say something now because i think there's often a hope that by not saying anything and just leaving it, it will eventually run out of fizz. it does. but the

of fizz. and it does. but the damage that's being done in the meantime, you only need to meantime, and you only need to go or onto go on onto twitter or onto instagram see some of instagram to see some of the wild conspiracy theories about about this. mean, some people about this. i mean, some people are alleging that is are just alleging that this is this was taken when it was. this was not taken when it was. this not the princess of this was not the princess of wales is today, you know, wales as she is today, you know, they really want stamp that they really want to stamp that out was intended to out because this was intended to put a positive message out there. >> katie nicholl, thank you very there. >> kaindeed. oll, thank you very there. >> kaindeed.oll,1thanks)u very there. >> kaindeed.oll,1thanksforyery much indeed. ian, thanks for your things. thank you your take on things. thank you very indeed for that. very much indeed for that. cheers, cheers. >> talk about politics >> let's talk about politics now, we? it a weekend now, shall we? it was a weekend marked another marked by another pro—palestinian protest across the concerns the capital and some concerns being again over rising extremism. >> today, three former conservative home secretaries amber rudd, sajid javid and priti patel are calling for a unhed priti patel are calling for a united political consensus to tackle the real threat from islamist extremists. so this comes as communities secretary michael gove prepares to announce a new government definition of what constitutes extremism. >> well, we're now joined by gb

news political editor christopher hope. is this dangerous territory when you've got three former conservative home secretaries? indeed, former defence secretary michael portillo, all urging caution that there can be unintended consequences when you make these definitions, because, hey, they'll be out of power before long and you could see the likes of or people in of jacob rees—mogg or people in favour brexit being branded favour of brexit being branded extremists . extremists. >> morning, isabel. morning, eamonn. yeah. brexit could be 111 with the critics would say that was extreme , but others that was extreme, but others would say it was democracy at work. but let's move on from brexit. but yeah, on thursday we're going from the we're going to hear from the community secretary, michael gove, new definition of gove, with a new definition of extremism. he to do extremism. what he wants to do is and capture, and, and is try and capture, and, and ensure public money can't ensure that public money can't go towards far right groups and islamist groups who currently can. some of them can get hold of public money from universities and government bodies and the like . the big bodies and the like. the big concern, though, from, mps on the christian side of the tory party and others , is that gender

party and others, is that gender critical feminists, devout christians, jews , muslims could christians, jews, muslims could all fall foul of this new definition . i think that is why definition. i think that is why it is dangerous ground trying to define what is extremism in words. because language can only go so far. and if you try and define things too much, you might then rule out what many of us would see as legitimate protest. so that is the that is the difference that that is a problem. the difficulty facing mr gove. those three you mentioned there didn't you? priti patel sajid javid amber rudd, sajid javid, of course. he's been pushing hard for this , he's been pushing hard for this, a war memorial for muslims who lost their life in the first and second world wars. they are all different. faith groups. that's the idea. they're trying to get some consensus, but getting a consensus is proving consensus here is proving difficult. and we'll see how. more from michael gove on thursday. >> christopher, we're getting word reform, are pulling together a press for conference 10:30 this morning. richard tice will make an announcement. i've got my own theories on what that might be. are you able to shed

any light for us or what we can expect hear? any light for us or what we can expwell, hear? any light for us or what we can expwell, wear? any light for us or what we can expwell, we don't know. we just >> well, we don't know. we just don't know yet . i'll be there don't know yet. i'll be there for gb viewers at 10:30. for gb news viewers at 10:30. there's been speculation about talks between richard tice and lee anderson in the past. we broke news of that of a meeting at a service station on the m1. two weeks ago. that's an idea. what will nigel, will nigel farage be there? we don't know that. what will he say about his political future? of course. he's us repeatedly. he's been telling us repeatedly. he's been telling us repeatedly. he decided yet. will he hasn't decided yet. will he go back full time for go back into full time for politics, the election this year? of course. he's the major shareholder in reform uk. it's his party. will you want to fight for it ? we don't know yet. fight for it? we don't know yet. and in fact, will other mps try and come across the floor and join uk? will it be a join reform uk? will it be a different thing altogether? we just don't know. so we'll be there. but sounds like quite there. but it sounds like quite a announcement. so i do a big announcement. so i do advise viewers and listeners to stay gb news all morning. >> okay. thanks very much indeed, chris. got to leave it there, got a good few there, you've got a good few more days, to enter our great

families , and we've got to just families, and we've got to just stop oil protests in studio. we do like to give them a hard time, particularly as they're planning to ruin everyone's holidays this summer by stopping planes taking off. so we're going asking them. going to be asking them. >> a jam packed show is jam >> so a jam packed show is jam packed . forward yeah. packed. look forward to. yeah. >> you. the thing is about >> thank you. the thing is about that, labour philosophy to that, labour philosophy as to who access to the who is getting access to the arts . they say that the arts has arts. they say that the arts has been squeezed, the school squeezed. been squeezed, the school squeezed . for what? squeezed. for what? >> i'd just like my point. what are they improving as a result? >> but what are they dropping arts for? have you dropped drama and and you drop and you drop music and you drop what they replace it with, what do they replace it with, you because they weren't you see, because they weren't the the shadow the secretary of the shadow secretary wasn't able to answer me that today, but think me on that today, but i think it's to easy say all of this or tony, posh boys that can do drama whatever, i guess drama and whatever, but i guess the is the schools, the difference is the schools, the difference is the schools, the private schools have got better drama facilities. >> they've got more theatres, they've got spaces. sometimes, you basic state you know, your basic state school doesn't even have a room large enough to host a rehearsal for a play, instance. so

for a play, for instance. so some of it will be about investment in buildings of schools just to facilitate arts performances. >> where are they going to get all this money from? >> well, quite well. >> well, quite well. >> just roof that stairs >> just get a roof that stairs up and doesn't fall down. might be might a start with all of be might be a start with all of that andrew and bev from half past nine. they that past nine. they got that big political 1030. past nine. they got that big politica meanwhile 1030. past nine. they got that big politica meanwhile we're 1030. past nine. they got that big politica meanwhile we're going. past nine. they got that big politica meanwhile we're going to >> but meanwhile we're going to be a bit more on be focusing a little bit more on the princess of wales, in fact, the princess of wales, in fact, the princess of wales, in fact, the prince wales. we'll talk the prince of wales. we'll talk about commonwealth day about the commonwealth day service, coming this service, which is coming up this afternoon cameron walker afternoon. cameron walker will bnng afternoon. cameron walker will bring date on that in bring us up to date on that in just a moment. >> gb news is the home of free speech. >> we were created to champion it and we deliver it day in, day out. >> free speech allows us all to explore and debate openly the issues most important to us. our families and of course, the british people having challenging conversations to enlighten each other. >> which is why we hear all sides of the argument. >> we are the people's channel. >> we are the people's channel. >> we are the people's channel. >> we will always stand by the freedom express yourself on freedom to express yourself on tv, radio and online.

>> this is gb news. >> this is gb news. >> britain's news channel

>> now. it was one of the late queen's biggest legacies to the commonwealth. and today, the king will pledge to continue to serve at the group best known for all the work they do with the commonwealth. >> so who's calling? senior royals, excluding the king and the princess of wales will attend service . it's attend the service. it's a celebration at westminster abbey, queen camilla is expected to lead the family and despite not attending, the king will still take part through a recorded message. >> cameron walker can tell us more. he joins us from the location. ian, good morning to you, cameron, so first of all, the king very keen to be involved, although he can't be there . there in person. >> good morning isabel. absolutely. this is an incredibly important event in the royal calendar. the commonwealth is celebrating its

75th anniversary. this year. and king charles is head of the commonwealth. 56 independent nafions commonwealth. 56 independent nations who work together for prosperity, peace and democracy and in his majesty's video message, which will be played at the westminster abbey service today, he said he's going to say that the commonwealth is a precious source of continued strength, inspiration and pride. but the line that's got everybody talking this morning is that the king, will says he will continue to serve to the best of my ability. now, that phrase is very interesting because the late queen elizabeth ii because the late queen elizabeth h used because the late queen elizabeth i! used that exact phrase serving to the best of my ability , during her thank you ability, during her thank you message at the platinum jubilee celebrations in june 2022, his majesty the king, as we know , is majesty the king, as we know, is not carrying out public engagements at the moment. he is receiving regular treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. so his majesty is not attending. neither is the princess of wales

. he continues to recover from abdominal surgery and also his created headlines this morning herself image. but herself from that, image. but other senior royals are attending. so her majesty the queen, the prince of wales , duke queen, the prince of wales, duke and duchess of edinburgh, duke and duchess of edinburgh, duke and gloucester, the and duchess of gloucester, the princess royal, tim laurence and, the duke of kent are and, also the duke of kent are expected to attend among 2000 guests inside the abbey who will also include prominent politicians, diplomats from across the commonwealth, as well as people and school as young people and school children . the king, we know, is children. the king, we know, is incredibly keen to get young people in the people involved in the commonwealth. is expected commonwealth. he is expected to also the environment also talk about the environment in video message, a cause in his video message, a cause close his heart. but of close to his heart. but of course there is a bit of a headache for both royal households today and that is that it's going to be. it has been overshadowed by this been very overshadowed by this apparently image of the apparently doctored image of the princess of wales and her children, released just over 24 hours ago. so it is going to be interesting looking at members of the royal family arrive at this service today to see if they are keeping calm and

carrying on, or if they look a little bit flustered. >> you've been speaking to the palace this morning, cameron. look, under awful look, they'll be under an awful lot pressure explain what lot of pressure to explain what on earth we are looking at, do you they're likely to put you think they're likely to put out some sort of statement? i mean, nicholl from vanity mean, katie nicholl from vanity fair saying they really need fair was saying they really need to the bud. and then to nip this in the bud. and then all of the focus can move on to the commonwealth day commemorations or celebrations later on. >> yeah. at the moment the palace are remaining very, very silent indeed. the late queen's motto was always never complain, never explain. kensington palace in particular really values their privacy . but of course it their privacy. but of course it is a huge media storm and the fact that for international agencies have ordered the image to be pulled from their systems because they are concerned that it has been manipulated, speaks volumes. it is an incredibly delicate pr problem for kensington palace because it's an issue of optics and trust . an issue of optics and trust. it's only fuelled speculation on social media, which certainly

isn't going away. of course, if they do say something, it could add even more fuel to the fire. but to be honest, there's so many conspiracy theories going on. really sinister conspiracy theories. it may just be easier for them to come clean and say, look, we messed up here. we took a images, morphed them a few images, morphed them together, check it together, didn't check it properly. wanted to you properly. we wanted to give you guys best possible of guys the best image possible of the princess of wales, to reassure that is reassure you that she is recovering in recovering as expected in windsor, staying windsor, but of course staying silent is not helping at the moment. okay catherine, it's going to be a busy one for you. >> thank you dorothy says do you think the royals should have used a professional photographer in this. >> it's only photograph of the >> it's only a photograph of the wife children. a nice wife and children. a very nice too. it made smile. i would too. it made me smile. i would say many of the others as well. it sounds like sour grapes. >> belinda, i've been married over 30 years. haven't worn my wedding ring for the last three. as i weight train and the skin on my would often get on my finger would often get caught between my and the caught between my ring and the weight discomfort. weight causing discomfort. i mean, there plenty of mean, there are plenty of perfectly explanations

perfectly innocent explanations that you could give, but the question what's the truth? question is what's the truth? will we get to the bottom of it? we'll leave you in the capable hands andrew and bev with hands of andrew and bev with britain's newsroom. >> see you. have good day. >> see you. have a good day. whatever you're up to. >> there. welcome to your >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news. whether we're looking at a damp start across many areas, a lot of cloud through the day today . still through the day today. still rather chilly, particularly along some eastern coast. and we can see across the board lots of cloud this morning. outbreaks of light rain and drizzle in places. little change as we go through the day. today we could see a few brighter spells developing across some western fringes. cloud does lift and fringes. the cloud does lift and break a little to allow some brightness through, but across northwestern parts of the uk, northern ireland, western scotland, remains damp. here. scotland, it remains damp. here. outbreaks of rain temperatures largely single figures across largely in single figures across the north and the east, highs again 12 or 13 towards again around 12 or 13 towards the south—west. in any brighter spells 1 or 2 showers possible here then through this here to then through this evening and overnight. the remains a lot of cloud and then

all eyes on the atlantic as weather systems start to move in, we see outbreaks of rain spreading northern ireland spreading into northern ireland later into and later on into wales and southwest england. some clear spells across the spells developing across the north and the east, here north and the east, and here temperatures dipping away but further west, rising as rain further west, rising as the rain moves in. so tuesday a bit of a west/east split areas of rain across western areas slowly pushing north and eastwards through the day. some of this could be heavy at times, so another cloudy day to come for many. the winds start picking up behind this weather system but coming in from the southwest, so that allows temperatures to rise. best dry, brighter rise. best of the dry, brighter weather holding on across northern scotland. northern parts of scotland. temperatures rise 13 temperatures starting to rise 13 or in the south. or 14 in the south. >> very good morning. we've got a lot coming up on the show today. huge announcement from reform uk at 1030. what are they going to promise you also just stop oil. >> they're going to ruin your summer holiday. they're going to divert lots of planes. they're coming we're going to talk coming in. we're going to talk to about why they're going to them about why they're going
