the directors took all the money. there is £20 million of bonuses... those huge pay—outs for thomas cook bosses now being scrutinised by mps. the transport secretary said an investigation by the insolvency service could consider if some money paid to management might be seized. but one question lingers — why didn't the government step in? whilst i hear people say why didn't you put the money in? the answer is because all you'd have to do is open their books and realise if you've got a £1] billion debt, if you lost £1.5 billion in six months alone, if you have then issued another profit warning, this is entirely different, i am afraid, from the condor situation, which was a fundamentally profitable airline. condor was thomas cook's german airline. unlike its uk equivalent, it's still operating. a £330 million bridging loan from the german government will keep it afloat.

thomas cook executives got a heroes‘ welcome when condor staff heard the news. but this video caused anger. among uk staff who crewed these now grounded aircraft. they say thomas cook's uk airline did make money but theirjobs are gone. the loss to my friends, the fear of loss of income all of a sudden overnight, the fear of the future. it was just absolutely devastating, i've never experienced anything like it. tom burridge, bbc news. let's take a look at some of today's other news. the president of israel has asked the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu to form the country's next government. it comes after last week's general election, the second this year, ended in deadlock, with mr netanyahu and his main opponent benny gantz failing to agree a deal, on a unity government. mr netanyahu now has up to six weeks to try to put together a new government.

our royal correspondent nicholas witchell was there. he's four months and 19 days old now, and little has been seen of archie harrison mountbatten—windsor since his birth on the 6th of may. but here he was in cape town today with his mother and father, to meet one of cape town's most celebrated citizens, archbishop desmond tutu and his daughter, thandeka. archie, inevitably, became the centre of attention. that's something he'll need to get used to. oh, you like the ladies? sensible conversation was temporarily suspended so that everyone could try a bit of baby talk. encouraging sounds and, of course, admiring comments.

suffice it to say that archie took it all in his stride, and played his part to perfection. he's clearly a natural at this sort of thing. he won't remember it, of course, but the moment was captured for immediate release to many front pages. archie and the archbishop. you saw it here first. nicholas witchell, bbc news, cape town. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to sportsday. a great escape for manchester united. they need penalties to get past rochdale... on another night of shocks in the league cup. rangers are through to a fourth—straight scottish cup semi—final.
