and fashion for muslim women in the united states in the era of the trump presidency. 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 have 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, the presenter of 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. with me is harriet minter, a journalist who specialises in women's rights. thank you for coming in to talk to us thank you for coming in to talk to us this morning. what you make of this letter? i think it is a great thing for them to have done. so often we tell women to wait, if they are patient, a solution will be found, that we are working towards it. tony hall's point that we will fix this by 2020, what might happen by2020 fix this by 2020, what might happen by 2020 is the agenda might move on and we are no longer talking about it. i think it is important the women of the bbc act on it now while it isa women of the bbc act on it now while it is a hot topic and we are discussing it. could women take the bbc to court? is it actually breaking the law? it is between equal pay and the gender pay gap. equal pay is two people doing the samejob, equal pay is two people doing the same job, same hours, equal pay is two people doing the samejob, same hours, same expectancy is, same... key

performance indicators. being paid differently. that is equal pay. there are cases where that could potentially, they could have to look at that, it could be reached, we look at the today presenters, some of the daytime presenters, it is not the gender pay gap. the gender pay gap is the average salaries men and women are earning and will be like that, what we see is they are really high salaries that are going to be men, but is pulling up the gender pay gap by making the average much higher. the letter makes clear that is not about the talent, the big stars at the top, that this could affect much more lowly paid rank and file workers much further down. affect much more lowly paid rank and file workers much further downm almost certainly does. how do you prove that? the bbc needs to do pay audits through all levels, take job titles, roles and responsibilities

because we all know quite often you end up with the job title and your role expands beyond it. start looking at are they being matched up fairly. we're not saying everyone has to be paid to the penny exactly the same, is there clear banding and within those bandings, are people being paid the same? the bbc cosla as we know, is being squeezed, there is less money. if more money is given to women, perhaps that would make less money available to make programmes, for example. make less money available to make programmes, for examplelj make less money available to make programmes, for example. i think thatis programmes, for example. i think that is true, but you have to look at where that money is going. when you are playing 2.2 million, 1.8 million. high—profile presenters, can you actually be redistributing that in a better manner? innings looking at how many people do you have on your staff, that is a potential one i would be worried about, job cuts because of it. ultimately, you cannot have people doing the same job and being ultimately, you cannot have people doing the samejob and being paid different salaries. it is just not acceptable. i assume this is not just an issue for the bbc. how

widespread do think it is?|j just an issue for the bbc. how widespread do think it is? i think it is an issue for every industry and organisation. what we know is that women tend not to negotiate with the same ferocity that men do, but also when they do negotiate, we tend to be more reluctant to listen to them but then we are with men. 0ne to them but then we are with men. one of the reasons you might have meantan paid one of the reasons you might have meant an paid significantly higher salaries is because when they are threat, they are not treated with the same level of individually that women would be in that situation. we have to tackle that in our whole society. how do we close the gap? you have to measure, every organisation should know what they're gender pay gap is right now and how they are going to close it. it should be, it is now legal but if you have more than 250 employees, you have more than 250 employees, you have more than 250 employees, you have to report on your gender pay you have to report on your gender pay 9313- you have to report on your gender pay gap. 0rganisation should be doing this and most of them have not, they have sort of ignored it. they cannot be forced to? the force from the government is that if you

do not, you will be named and shamed. now, we know that so far 32 out of a possible 9000 companies have done this. there's not a lot of incentive, there should be a point where if you did do it, you should be fine. it's been really good to talk to, thank you so much. 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. 11—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. a20 a 20 role man has died after being apprehended by a police officer in a sharp in east london. our correspondent andy moore is at the scene in hackney and hejoins us 110w. scene in hackney and hejoins us now. what more can you tell us? this happened in the early hours of saturday morning, about ten to two in the morning. police were following a car here on the road, is stopped, passenger got out. he was chased on foot to this convenience stop, he went inside and then the incident was filmed on a security camera. 0ne incident was filmed on a security

camera. one of 15 security cameras in that sharp. that security camera footage was filmed by a mobile phone and the footage has been widely shared on social media. we are not showing be fitted at the moment because we do not have the permission of the owner. it shows a struggle on the floor between a uniformed police officer and the young man, the young man appears to put something in his mouth. later on, another man in plain clothes, presumably a plainclothes officer gets involved in the struggle. the suspect, the young man is handcuffed with his hands behind his back. he becomes unresponsive at some stage. police were very concerned for his safety. the police say the police officer intervened to help the young man because he had appeared to have swallowed an object, they say paramedics, police medics helped him out but he died in hospital a short time later. now, the independent

police complaints commission took over this investigation very shortly afterwards, within a bout an hour or so. they say has recovered a lot of video footage from the shop, they have got body worn footage from the police officer, they say they've spoken to a lot of witnesses who we re spoken to a lot of witnesses who were there at the time. they have also been to the young man's family to explain to them what they are doing and what their role is. they say an object of some sort was recovered from the man's wrote at the scene of this incident at the shop here. —— man's throat. andy, thank you very much. let us return to that story about the bbc pay gap to be closed immediately. the bbc has issued a statement in which it says, we have made significant changes over the last three years, but we do need to

do more. tony hall, the director—general of the bbc has pledged that the corporation will go further faster. across the pledged that the corporation will go furtherfaster. across the bbc, the average pay of men is 10% higher than women. the national average is 18%. we are coming close to close it by2020, 18%. we are coming close to close it by 2020, something no other organisation has committed to doing. it goes on to say that the bbc‘s workforce has been hired over generations and that this is a complex situation to sort out i cannot be done overnight. but the statement continues, we are however confident that when these figures are published again next year, they will show significant progress towards that goal. tony hall meet staff will be time and will meet individuals to hear their thoughts as we work to accelerate change. the bbc‘s response to the ongoing row over pay at the bbc. 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. 0ur 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 dan costen, co—founder of freedom to donate, a group which has been campaigning on this issue. i assume you very much welcome this news? we are very happy, we're from working on this for two to three yea rs working on this for two to three years and we are glad the government has taken on board what we have been

saying and at the advisory committee on blood and tissue donation has agreed with us that three months is the correct time, decrypt deferral period. why did you want the limit reduced? the group was set up by ethan spibey whose grandfather actually underwent a huge operation and needed eight to ten plights of blood. even wanted to go and repay the favour and donate himself, it was then that he found as a gay man he could not, or he could not get the about sexual activity within the past 12 months. he took it upon himself that he wanted to change this and i agreed. i think 12 months far too long. this freedom to donate campaign took on a life of its own, didn't it? we have been so lucky, we have had a good response from other charities, parliament as well, a parliamentary group looking into this inquiry as well. it has become

huge and ultimately we're been able to change the law. there is a mixed reaction to that. i've been reading some of the responses on twitter, many in favour, but there are some people who are a bit concerned about suggests, it is better to err on the side of caution. what can you do to reassure those people that there will not be any risk? absolutely. since we were established, we have been cleared, fundamentally over everything else, the safety of the blood is paramount. the government's advisory committee has said that they can be certain, they can be very sure, sorry, but the three—month period is the right period and that is notjust for gay men, that is for people who have tattoos, acupuncture, endoscopy, all blood is tested, that is the key thing. the advances that have been

made scientifically and medically, they can check this blood to be certain that any viruses that in it will show up within a three month period. thank you so much for coming in to talk to us. thank you. 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 u na cce pta ble". sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. in just under 15 minute's time, england's women's cricketers will attempt to win their fourth

world cup trophy today when they face india later. they won the toss, they will bat first. england have won six consecutive matches but ominously they did, lose the opening match of this world cup campaign to india. it's a sell out with more than 26,000 people expected to attend a packed lord's. it is going to be a big crowd, i think it is the biggest crowd for women's cricket ever and it shows the kind of credit that is being played in this tournament. it has been exciting, worth watching, people have gone to all the venues to watch us, certainly to sell this plays out is incredible. i've been surprised at the way india haven't done well on the big stage before. they've got some really big players. we are completely aware of that. it did show in the first game of the tournament that they have got a really good team. the final round of this year's open championship is underway at royal birkdale. jordan spieth will be out on his

three shot lead. he will be out at half past two. he's trying to win his third major title which would make him only the second player afterjack nicklaus to win three of golf‘s four majors before the age of 24. ben croucher reports. on a day when the open gave us plenty to smile about, this man mayjust have been beaming more than any. jordan spieth will tee off this afternoon with a three shot lead following a near faultless showing. no bogeys, five birdies, a shower of stability, culminating in a demonstration of why he has already won two majors before he turns 24. it will take an almighty effort to stop him claiming a third. the chasers tripped over themselves. rory mcilroy was nine shots behind the american. i don't know what the weather will bring but if i want a chance in this tournament i need bad weather and i need to play well. ian poulter needs plenty of that as well. he is two under alongside mcilroy. the wait for a british champion continues. and while many waited for the heavens to open, we witnessed the amazing from grace.

branden grace with the lowest round in men's major history. enough to raise a grin from most. come tonight, jordan speith may be raising more than that. britain's chris froome is set to win his fourth tour de france title today. he extended his lead to sa seconds in yesterday's time trial in marseille, and that won't be challenged in paris this afternoon. there have been ups and downs over the last three weeks, but i think it has been very much a grand tour in the sense that it has been really about the three weeks. during those three weeks, in the most conservative but efficient manner, it wasn't about one single stage. that's what grand tour racing is. it's the final day of the world pa ra—athletics championships

with britain just a few medals away from breaking their record tally in london. kate grey has been following the action all week for us at the olympic park. lots to cheer last night, hopefully more installed today as well. a lot of cheering here this morning, the crowds are flooding into the final morning session, the volu nteers final morning session, the volunteers have been brilliant, welcoming everyone into the stadium. and fantastic evening last night for the british team. three gold medals. i'm pleased to say i'm joined by one of the young ladies actually took one of those gold medals. double gold here at the world championships. 12 hours on, how are you feeling? i am feeling good. i'm feeling in a bit of a bubble. it was amazing, last night was absolutely amazing, last night was absolutely amazing and i am still in a bit of disbelief. you do not get a chance to run here in london, you were

inspired by 2012 to take up running again. what an amazing journey you have been on in the last five years to now be here as well champion.” feel like i have done a bit of a full circle now, i have achieved my dream which i can say, to compete abroad of a home ground which is amazing. how difficult has been coming back from rio ten months ago, barely any time to have a break, howard ivar building up to the jab is it? absolutely awful. there were some very dark times. there was a hell of a lower after rio and having to press the reset button and find a new goal and start again with all the injuries and things, it has been a tough sort of nine months to come out and do about last night was a huge relief. you are very popular with the crowd, photographs being taken, your daughter in your arms at the end. quite emotional. how does it feel being a role model to so many young people? very strange. it is not who i saw myself hours. if i've inspired

one person, then i have done myjob. you absolutely have. enjoy your break, go back to your family. you absolutely have. enjoy your break, go back to yourfamily. thank you forjoining us. i hope you get a bit downtime. it is the final day of these championships, great britain are well on track on getting a record number of medals here but so far they have 17 goals, 35 in total and we have them bretons in action today, one in the two metres, a long jump today, one in the two metres, a long jump and another in the 100 metres and 800 metres this evening. a few more chances for great britain to add to them medals tally on the final day. thank you forjoining us. that's all the sport for now. you can keep up to date with all those stories on the bbc sport website. including the women's cricket world final, england batting first against india. manchester city have completed the signing of real madrid defender danilo for £26.5m.

that's bbc.co.uk/sport and i'll have more in the next hour. liam fox is the transitional period as britain leads the eu could last until the next election. 0ur political correspondent is here to tell us more. tell us more about what he has been saying. the idea of this transitional period, we know that britain will leave the eu in march 2019, two years after we triggered article 50, the formal process to get that. but there has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about a period that will smooth the process by which britain leads the eu so there is no so—called cliff edge for businesses, for all of us as we transition into that new relationship with europe. now, the idea of a transitional deal has caused some divisions within the

cabinet. there are different members of the cabinet that support different versions of this transitional deal. theresa may likes to call an implementation period. in recent days, there has been some consensus breaking out, if you like, on the idea that this transitional period will be a practical way of smoothing this process. cabinet ministers who were firm brexiteers, doctor liam fox among them, have been coming around to that idea. we heard from doctor liam fox earlier in the week saying he did not mind, he was not ideal to get opposed to a two—year transitional period but today speaking to the bbc he appeared to go a bit further. i think we would have to be very clear that it was time—limited and it was limited in scope. we knew exactly what it was going to mean, for example, would we be able to negotiate our own trade agreements drink the transitional period because if we were not, would not be able to take full advantage of the freedoms available to us when we the european union. there's a lot of

discussion to be had but i do there's any ideological blockage of there's any ideological blockage of the idea of a transitional period. it could be three more years? the reason i am pushing this point is because string rapidly, we could be paying into the eu, we could be under the ecj, we could be accepting to all intense and purpose of being inside the single market rather than alongside. to a lot of people, that would not feel like brexit. you know there are people who ran to use the transitional period to try and subvert or avoid the brexit decision itself. that is why i think it is imperative that we leave the european union first and then any implementation period is done voluntarily alongside the european union to minimise any disruption. doctor fox presenting it as a practical way of smoothing out this process of leaving the eu but saying

that he would not want this transitional period to go on before the expected date of the next election in 20 22. i think there is still disagreement among the cabinet about the length of first transitional period, two years later, three years now, potentially for yea rs later, three years now, potentially for years and, as you heard there, on what this transitional deal will entail in terms of allsorts of things, including immigration. we heard liam fox, jeremy corbyn has also been talking about brexit today. what has he been saying? he has been talking to andrew marr and he was pressed on labour's position on brexit, to clarify whether labour is in favour of leaving the single market. jeremy corbyn very clear that membership of the european union is inexorably linked to membership of the european single market, what labour wants to do, he says, is negotiate tariff free access to the market and have a

migration policy after britain leads the eu based on the economic needs and the skills needs of the country. jeremy corbyn has also been talking about the bbc, which we have been talking about earlier this morning. he was very critical of the bbc‘s approach. i would sign the letter with i think the bbc needs to look hard on yourself. the point you made in the press discussion earlier about the treatment of older women in the bbc i think is a very important one. the gender pay gap is appalling. we would insist on a strong gender pay audit is every organisation and we would also look at the 20 to one ratio between the chief executive and the lowest paid staff in every public sector organisation. the bbc is very much public sector. jeremy corbyn referring to that letter signed by many of the bbc‘s female presenters. thank you so much. time for the weather. part two of

the weaker looking similar to part one. sunshine and showers around, long before the rain could lead to a disappointing day in some places, quite cool when the rate rise. in the sunshine, fairly pleasant. a rush of showers pushing into south—western parts of england and wales to the morning. they will spread their way northwards and eastwards, some heavy downpours through southern areas and across the jaws of a scholar, north east england, the weather from the jaws of a scholar, north east england, the weatherfrom bringing out recovering. dry and brighter to the north of it, one for northern ireland, 21 celsius. where the showers and rain arrive, 19 celsius. feeling a bit better than that in the sunshine. 0vernight, northern area sink southwards, it turns dry and chilly across the north and west. monday, dry and bright across northern and western areas, some sunshine, central southern and eastern areas will continue
