this morning's reviewers are martin bentham, home affairs editor of the london evening standard, and the journalist and broadcaster, rachel shabi. good morning and welcome to bbc news. princes william and harry have given a candid insight into their relationship with their mother, princess diana, and they revealed that they last spoke to her in a brief phone call on the day she died. speaking in a documentary to mark the 20th anniversary of her death, the princes said they regret the rushed nature of that conversation, but fondly recall their mother's loving nature and her mischievous side. here's our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. to the watching world,

she was the princess whose image appeared constantly on front pages. it was a glamorous but necessarily limited impression of the real person. now, nearly 20 years after diana's death in the car accident in paris, her sons, william and harry, have spoken in an itv documentary about diana, the mother who did so much to shape their childhood. we felt, you know, incredibly loved, harry and i, and i am very grateful that that love still feels there. it was that love that, that even if she was on the other side of a room, as a son, you could feel it. the person who emerges from william and harry's description is a woman with a strong sense of fun. when everybody says to me, you know, so she was fun, give us an example, all i can hear is her laugh in my head and that sort of crazy laugh as where there was just pure happiness

showing on her face. one of her mottos to me was, you can be as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. and they talk about their mother's death. they recall the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction and how they coped with the week which culminated in her funeral. as william himself has said, it is a tribute to diana from her sons, which they recall the woman they hope the world will remember. nicholas witchell, bbc news. some of the bbc‘s most high—profile female presenters have written to the corporation's director general tony hall, calling on him to tackle the gender pay gap. bbc sport's claire balding, the today programme's mishal hussain and jane garvey from woman's hour are amongst the 42 signatories. the letter in the sunday times urges lord hall to "act now" to close the gender pay gap in all areas

of the bbc. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, has described the abuse to staff at great ormond street hospital, where the terminally ill baby charlie gard is being treated, as "totally u na cce pta ble". the hospital says its doctors and nurses had faced a "tide of abuse", and that it's had to call in the police. the high court is considering whether charlie's parents should be allowed to take him to the united states for experimental treatment. richard main reports. release charlie gard! it is a case that has touched people around the world. attracting a growing number of campaigners who disagree with medical experts over the treatment of a critically ill baby boy. ii—month—old charlie gard has a rare form of mitochondrial disease, a condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and irreversible brain damage. his parents, connie yates and chris gard, want to take him to the us for pioneering surgery. but great ormond street hospital

says it is in charlie's best interests to turn off his life—support and allow him to die. last night, the hospital said in a statement that their doctors and nurses have been subjected to a shocking and disgraceful tide of hostility. staff have received abuse, both in the street and online. thousands of abusive messages, they say, have been sent to doctors and nurses whose life's work is to care for sick children. a short while later, the parents of charlie gard also released a statement. we don't condone abusive or threatening behaviour to great ormond street hospital staff or anybody in connection with our son. we, too, get abuse and have to endure nasty and hurtful remarks on a daily basis. people have different opinions and we accept that. but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, also condemned the abuse, tweeting that the behaviour

was totally u na cce pta ble. the high court hearing into charlie gard's future resumes tomorrow, with the judge saying he hopes a decision will be reached by tuesday. richard main, bbc news. the rules on blood donation are to be relaxed in england and scotland to allow more gay men and sex workers to take part. experts say there is clear evidence it is safe for those groups to give blood after abstaining from sex for three months, instead of 12. hiv charities have welcomed the changes. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. giving blood is not for everyone. rules on safety mean those at high risk of infectious diseases, such as hiv and hepatitis b and c, are restricted from donating. but the rules are changing. gay men will no longer have to abstain from sex for 12 months. that will be reduced to three months before they can give blood. people who have had sex with high—risk partners

or in a high—risk place, will also have the deferral period reduced to three months. and for the first time, sex workers will be allowed to donate blood after abstaining from sex for three months. the reason for the change is that scientists say new testing techniques have established infectious diseases such as hiv and hepatitis b and c show up in the bloodstream well within three months. technologies to pick up the presence of a virus and other infections in the blood have greatly improved. so we can now pick up viruses at a much earlier stage in the infection. therefore, it is much easier to tell if a blood donor has the virus. the changes have been welcomed by charities including the national aids trust, who say they were based on the latest scientific evidence rather than prejudice. with me is alex phillips from the terrence higgins trust. thank you for coming in. i am

assuming you welcome this change? the terrence higgins trust has long fought for evidence —based policy on blood donation so we really welcome this change that has been announced today. it does of course only apply in england and scotland. what about wales and northern ireland? we expect wales to follow suit pretty quickly, as they have done in the past. we would hope to see that northern ireland would do the same. why did you think it was so important for this time limit to be reduced? in needs to be based on evidence which is evolving all the time. it was reduced to 12 months for men who have sex with men, gay and bisexual men, in 2011. we know since then testing technology has changed quite dramatically and the evidence suggests that that should 110w evidence suggests that that should now be a three month deferral

period. we provided some evidence around sex workers and their lifetime ban on donating blood has been listed and they are down to three months. what you say those people who are a bit concerned and says surely it is better to error on the side of caution? we have world leading blood donation service, we have not had any infections in it for well over a decade now so it is very, very safe and that is paramount. that is the most important thing that we maintain the safety of the blood supply, which this evidence suggests it will do. so you can say categorically no one at risk will donate blood or if they do, that that blood would then be discovered, is that what you are saying? that is right. all sex workers, for example, which has been the biggest shift, it has been unprecedented in fact, the evidence

that we supplied government showed that we supplied government showed that 98% of sex workers that we surveyed rated their sexual health is very important and the same percentage, so 98% knew their hiv status. it is down to three months, should it go even further in your view? what we are calling on the government to do now is to continually review the evidence because it is changing so quickly that in three or four years, we could see some dramatic changes. what we would like to see specifically is an investment from government into gay and bisexual men who only have oral sex because we know from our clinical work that they are a much reduced risk. alex phillips, good to talk to you. thank you. thank you. the scottish and welsh governments have written to the uk government to raise concerns about the treatment of unaccompanied child refugees. they say a scheme to resettle migrants from mainland europe, including those from a camp

that was closed down in calais, has been characterised by bad planning and poor information—sharing. a 20—year—old man has died after being apprehended by a police officer in an east london shop. the metropolitan police said the man was followed on foot after officers tried to stop a car in hackney yesterday. they say he was taken ill after apparently trying to swallow an object and was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later. the independent police complaints commission has been informed. senior democrats have described as "disturbing" president trump's assertion that he has complete power to pardon. mr trump sent a long series of tweets on saturday as media reports emerged that he has been looking at ways to pardon himself — and his family — if a special investigation finds them guilty of colluding with russia during the us election campaign. from washington, laura bicker reports.

donald trump hope this week would be a celebration of all that is made in america, including best new state—of—the—art aircraft carrier. instead he finds himself gearing up for what might be his biggest battles. he is clearing the decks and finding new staff to fight off claims the kremlin helped him win the white house. his core message has become engulfed by the many investigations, instead this is the kind of self that he would prefer americans to hear. americans still has constructed a 1000 tonne message to the world. america might is second to none. donald trump is upgrading his team just as the investigation into whether or not russia meddled in the us presidential election has

widened its scope. two reportedly include the trump finances, the president is thought to be furious. they think roe is no longer outside the white house gates. it is within his inner circle, including his own family, who are due to give evidence later this week. mr trump's son—in—law is one of his closest advisers, the very often at his side but rarely heard. he has done some talking boat to russians during the campaign. he will be asked about that in congress during the campaign. donald trump junior that in congress during the campaign. donald trumpjunior is also in discussions about testifying after it was revealed he met with a russian lawyer who had offered incrementing information about hillary clinton. john spicer often struggle to convey the president's message about russian influence. struggle to convey the president's message about russian influencem the pits russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that is a russian association. he reportedly did not want to work for this

matter, please let who will now be in charge are rebounding team drop. donald trump relatives a good fight. he has described the inquiry into his campaign's links with russia as a witchhunt, a hoax. he is getting combat ready, just in case investigators do not agree with him. the process of a person legally changing their gender could be made much easier following plans being considered by the government. the equalities minister justine greening is setting out plans that would not require a doctor's diagnosis. she says she wants to streamline the process and make it less intrusive. at the moment, if you are a transgender person and you want to go about changing your gender, it is a very complicated process. it is very medically driven as well so you have to go to a clinic and go through a lot of psychological profiling and, of course, actually that is something that makes it very difficult for people to access.

justine greening. the headlines on bbc news: in a new interview prince william and prince harry have recalled fond memories of their mother diana princess of wales. some of the bbc‘s most high profile women have written an open letter to the director general, calling on him to "act now" to correct a gender disparity in pay. jeremy hunt has described the abuse of staff at great ormond street hospital, where baby charlie gard is being treated, as "totally unacceptable". almost two weeks after declaring victory in mosul, iraqi police are facing the huge challenge of disarming explosives planted by the so—called islamic state. experts say it may take up to a year to declare the city safe. the fighting may be over but here in the old town,

its legacy can still be heard. explosion this is a controlled explosion, detonated by the police. they are hoping to clear old explosive devices the islamic state group left behind. as soon as victory was declared, these men from the bomb disposal unit started work. this is where is made their last stand. the police say they found at least 500 explosive devices so far. and the clean—up process could last a year. translation: most of the houses have booby—traps. we go to a house, the power outlets are booby—traps. the fridges, the sofas and even the curtains, sometimes we find ieds when we open the doors and it's in every house.

disarming explosives is not the only mission here. we have joined this federal police unit in a nearby neighbourhood as they clear wreckage made by months of heavy fighting. just like how the fighting was from one house to the other, the cleaning process is exactly the same, as we can see here, this unit from the federal police is moving one house to the next one to clean and search the houses to make sure that they are safe enough for civilians to move back in. in this neighbourhood, a handful of people are trying to piece back together their lives. translation: i have been staying in the eastern part of the city but yesterday they told me they had started clearing the houses so we came back.

the families may have returned home, but their lives are still in danger. a few metres away from this house is a building full of booby—traps. this officer is wondering whether he should disarm the explosives inside. he says it may destroy the whole building. the police decide to detonate the explosives and ask us to clear the area. the very few who have returned here don't fear fighting any more, but having their normal lives back doesn't seem to be looming in the horizon any time soon. hanan razek, bbc news, mosul. more on the news that a 20—year—old had died after being apprehended by a police officer in east london. what more can you tell us?

this happened in the early hours of saturday morning, about ten to two in the morning. police were pursuing a car here on the road in hackney, the car stopped short distance away from here, the man were chasing ran into the shop behind me and that is where the incident is picked up by security video, there are about 15 cameras in there. that is one element of that security video has been widely circulated on social media. we are not showing the video at the moment because we have not got the permission of the owner. that video shows a uniformed police officer pursuing the young man into the shop, there is then a struggle on the floor, the young man appears to put something in his mouth, at a later stage another man in plainclothes arrives, presumably another officer. we are not absolutely sure. at some stage the

young man is handcuffed with his hands behind his back and he is lying face down on the floor. you can see the officers realise that there is a problem will stop they call for back—up and other officers arrived. we have got a statement from the metropolitan police. they say, the officer intervened and sought to prevent the man from harming himself. when he tried to swallow a n harming himself. when he tried to swallow an object. the london ambulance service were called and first aid was provided by officers, including police medic prior to their arrival. this whole incident is being investigated by the independent police complaints commission, but a very important element of this incident is the perception of it. that video has been widely shared on social media and a lot of people say it is an example of a black man being a victim of police brutality. a lot of people posting very strong comments,

they say it is yet another black man subject daily max subjected to what they say is police violence. we will leave it there. thank you very much. a prison guard has suffered minor injuries during trouble at hewell jail in redditch in worcestershire. the protest is believed to have been caused by a smoking ban, which is due to come into effect tomorrow, as well as restrictions placed on inmates because of staff shortages. when you go to the cinema, a film about toilets may not be what you want to see on the big screen. but sanitation is the subject of a new bollywood movie out next month. it's a big issue in india where around half a billion people don't have access to adequate facilities and many relieve themselves out in the open. the film called toilet, it's a love story set against the backdrop of the indian prime minister's initiative to provide more households with toilets. the bbc asian network's shabnam mahmood has more. singing

song, dance and plenty of laughs. but this indian movie also uncovers the taboo subject of open defecation. it's very relevant and people will understand what, in this film, we are trying to say, in a very commercial manner. i personally feel it is probably the toughest scene i've ever done. ijust couldn't get myself to pick up my sari and squat. i felt violated, i felt humiliated. it was very, very, very disturbing. around 546 million people in india don't have access to a functioning toilet. many women tend to venture out at night to avoid being seen, which puts them at risk of attack, even rape. for men, they can go anywhere, it really isn't a threat to their security or their health. but for women, you know, you can be pregnant, you can

be on your period, there are so many aspects, what do you do? you don't have access, you can't go free yourself or relieve yourself for 14 hours and in those 14 hours, you are walking, you are cleaning your house, you are taking care of your children, you are working your fields, there's a lot that they do. the inspiration for the film comes from prime minister modi's clean india campaign of 2014, in which he promised sanitation for millions of households. he has given his backing to the movie. when he became the prime minister, the first thing he started, he started talking to people about swachh bharat, that is clean india sofa him, this subject is very close. he knew about it and was very happy. why do we need a bollywood movie? no, it's not needing a bollywood movie, it takes time but surely it will change a lot. so this is just a small, little contribution for keeping the airclean. it's notjust about providing the infrastructure, the

challenge is to change the mindset of people. if you pray in the house, we cook in the house, we see, we eat, blah, blah, blah, how can we have a bathroom, how can we do our business in the same area? it is a very big mindset issue. meanwhile, toilet: ek prem katha hopes to get its message across, bollywood style. now if you've been visited paris yesterday, you may have had a surprise. there was a guest who was large and stature. at first glance, this looks somewhat surprising. a giant sperm whale washed up on the banks of the river. a medical team appeared to be examining the body, torres look on with more than a little interest. but things are not

what they seem. this is in fact a giant replica, created by a group of belgian artists. they are trying to raise awareness about the environment, so much so they will not break character, even for the cameras. translation: this happens fairly often, but not in paris. he came up the river to escape sonar, we found out he had an eye infection so we found out he had an eye infection so he could not sleep properly. he came up and got stuck over there by the bridge. the firemen were called and pulled him up with a grain because you cannotjust leave the body in the water. similar recognised grey —— similar replica beatings have taken place across europe. someone posted an article but we thought it was real. we came over and my mum said it was a sculpture. i had to look it up, i said it was a sculpture. it is

amazing, really neat thing that they did to bring awareness. they want to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction. in the shadow of notre dame, it is certainly an interesting place to try. former great british bake off hosts mel and sue are to host the return of bbc classic show the generation game. # life is the name of the game # life is the name of the game # and # life is the name of the game #and| # life is the name of the game # and i want to play the game with you #. it's been commissioned for an initial four—episode run, although a launch date has yet to be set. it was presented for many years by sir bruce forsyth. the new show will combine aspects of the original series with some new games. time for the weather. part two of the week and looking similar to part one, sunshine and showers, longer spells of rain could lead to a

disappointing day. some places are quite cool when the rain arrives. in the sunshine, fairly pleasant. rush of showers pushing into south—western part of england and wales through the morning. they will spread their way northwards and eastwards. some heavy downpours through southern areas and across central southern scotland, north—east england, a weather front here bringing out recovering. dry and brighter to the north of it, 21 celsius for northern ireland where the showers and rain arrived, feeling a little better than that in the sunshine. overnight, it looks like the rain across northern areas thinks its way south, it has dry and chilly across the north and west. monday, dry and right across northern and western areas, with some sunshine. central eastern areas, some cloud, a cool nor the wind, fabrics of rain. feeling warm in the sunshine further west. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines. prince william and prince harry have

spoken of their regret that their last conversation with their mother was a "desperately rushed" phone call. health secretaryjeremy hunt has described the abuse of staff at great ormond street hospital, where baby charlie gard is being treated, as "totally unacceptable". some of the bbc‘s most high profile women have written an open letter to the director general, calling on him to "act now" to correct a gender disparity in pay. blood donation rules for sex workers and gay men are being relaxed in england and scotland after improvements in the accuracy of testing procedures. coming up in a few minutes our sunday morning edition of the papers — this morning's reviewers are martin bentham and rachel shabi. before the papers the sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh woozencroft.

good morning. britain's chris froome is all but certain to win his fourth tour de france title later today. following yesterday's time trial in marseille, the team sky rider has a near unassailable lead as he goes into the tour's processional final stage through the streets of paris. richard conway reports. despite riding more than 2000 miles and spending over 80 hours in the saddle, this year's tour de france winner was decided on the streets of marseille. but chris froome's rivals struggled to keep pace with him over the 14 mile time trial course. 0ne nearly crashed out and french favourite romain bardet was nearly caught by the team sky rider at the finish line. when all was said and done, froome extended his overall lead to 54 seconds, reasserting his dominance
