her pregnancy made her vulnerable. he says dimple, who was 3a and a dentist, celebrated life and treasured every moment with their son. here, precious memories... we went to the regent's park. it's beautiful. ..of a family holiday in london in 2019. ravish says the death of his wife and so many more here should be a warning to the uk and the world. if the covid is going down in your place, do not take it lightly. it was going down here in india, but it came like wildfire. people were unguarded. and it affected healthy people. it affected pregnant women.

so do not take your guard down at all. india did, and this was the result. now the indian variant has spread to more than a0 countries and is multiplying in the uk. this strain is highly, highly infectious, i can tell you. earlier, it was the elderly. now it is the young. the virus is evolving and it has been affecting many younger people in india. dimple arora was a young woman, focused on the future, new life. her husband consoles himself with the belief that, since her death last month, she is with the child they lost. i talk to myself, you know. i talk to myself. she must have wanted to take care of the second baby. she did not want to leave him alone. she was a mother. she was a great soul.

orla guerin reporting. most people injapan are opposed to the olympic games being held in tokyo in just over two months�* time, according a new opinion poll. the president of the international olympic committee is insisting the games will go ahead, and will be safe. but, as our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes reports, very few people injapan believe him. never before has a summer olympics faced such overwhelming opposition from the people of the host nation. in recent days, this double—page spread has appeared in several japanese newspapers. it's an old photo from world war ii ofjapanese children training to fight the americans with bamboo spears, except now the enemy is covid. "no vaccines", it reads, "no drugs". "are we supposed to fight the virus with bamboo spears?"

this is the city of nagoya in centraljapan, and i've come here because this city has just been placed under a state of emergency because of rapidly rising covid infections. i've also come because medical workers here are up in arms that they are being requested to volunteer at the olympic village in tokyo when they are desperately needed at hospitals here. this young nurse, who doesn't want to show her face, says the covid unit in her hospital is now filled to capacity. translation: people are already | dying at home because they can't| get into the hospital. they want 500 nurses to volunteer for the olympics. that means more covid patients won't get the care they need. far to the north, in the little town of kamo, young gymnasts are trying out new equipment installed for the russian gymnastics team to train on. this man tells me they spent over half a million

pounds on all of this, all from the town's own budget. then, last month, the russian team pulled out — fearful of getting covid, it is no longer coming to kamo. for people in towns like this and for millions of otherjapanese, the excitement they once felt of welcoming the world to tokyo this summer is gone. instead, the olympics has become something to fear. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in niigata, northern japan. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello, and welcome to this international edition of the papers.

with me are ben chu, economics editor at the independent, and giles kenningham, the former press chief of the uk's conservative party. lovely to have you both join us. so, let's start. we are going to start off with one of the big stories here in the uk but i am sure being picked up internationally in the coming hours. the guardian says prince william has castigated the bbc after an investigation found that martin bashir had used deceitful tactics that were later covered up by senior executives to secure his sensational 1995 interview with diana, princess of wales. the i has the duke of sussex, prince harry, claiming that

prince charles passed on his own suffering to his children. the metro quotes the world health organization saying every existing coronavirus vaccine works against all known variants, including the indian strain. the japan times reports that the country is still racing to catch up with other developed nations and inoculate its citizens against covid—i9 amid a fourth wave of infections there. germany's franfurter allgemeine has angela merkel defending israel's right to defend itself. france's le figaro carries a striking picture of migrants climbing a dam in morocco, saying there are fresh concerns about a new wave of people arriving in europe. meanwhile, the financial times reports australia's biggest beef exporter has predicted that it could boost uk sales tenfold if prime minister borisjohnson

backs a zero—tariff, zero—quota trade deal, as cabinet ministers clashed over the potential impact on british farmers. so, let's begin. sorry about that early start, aborted start. ben, if you could take us to the front page of the guardian and their lead story please. guardian and their lead story lease. �* , . guardian and their lead story lease. 3 . , guardian and their lead story lease. �*, . , guardian and their lead story lease. ., please. it's a very bad day for the bbc. please. it's a very bad day for the bbc- there _ please. it's a very bad day for the bbc. there is _ please. it's a very bad day for the bbc. there is no _ please. it's a very bad day for the bbc. there is no getting - please. it's a very bad day for the bbc. there is no getting away - please. it's a very bad day for the i bbc. there is no getting away from that with the report by laura dyson on the way the bbc handled the martin bashir panorama interview completely damning of management and damning of the journalist himself of the way he got this interview and what is really happening now is that is not only the report but the response to the report. that is incredibly harmful for the bbc�*s reputation because we have prince

william coming out and say this really distressed his mother and prince harry saying something similar and lord spencer, diana's brother, saying as well, so all these major members of the royal family and also members of diana's family and also members of diana's family saying how damaging this was. so there is more to come on this. it is not a case of the report is out and we have said sorry and that is the end of it, i think there will be more repercussions. what they will be is hard to say because many of the people who are involved in it have now left the bbc. we will see how this works out but i suspect strongly we have not heard the last of this. , , strongly we have not heard the last of this.- there's _ strongly we have not heard the last of this.- there's no _ strongly we have not heard the last of this. gilles. there's no doubt it of this. giles. there's no doubt it is incredibly _ of this. giles. there's no doubt it is incredibly damaging _ of this. giles. there's no doubt it is incredibly damaging for - of this. giles. there's no doubt it is incredibly damaging for the bbc. isaw_ is incredibly damaging for the bbc. i saw someone earlier speculate this was the _ i saw someone earlier speculate this was the bbc's phone hacking moment because _ was the bbc's phone hacking moment because i_ was the bbc's phone hacking moment because i don't really subscribe to that view — because i don't really subscribe to that view because everything we have seen is _ that view because everything we have seen is this— that view because everything we have seen is this is the ashes of one

25 years ago. and that is a real challenge because how do you show that? this with the new director general has to do and what all the bbcjournalists have to do comedy show their ethics are high and they are trustworthy and they would not behave in this way again.— behave in this way again. giles, this was your — behave in this way again. giles, this was your speciality - behave in this way again. giles, this was your speciality with - behave in this way again. giles, this was your speciality with the conservative party, party press chief. how would you handle it? what advice would you give, giles was meant i think been touched upon this with the transparency. haifa meant i think been touched upon this with the transparency.— with the transparency. how can bbc conve ed with the transparency. how can bbc conveyed to — with the transparency. how can bbc conveyed to the _ with the transparency. how can bbc conveyed to the public _ with the transparency. how can bbc conveyed to the public this - with the transparency. how can bbc conveyed to the public this thing - conveyed to the public this thing like this— conveyed to the public this thing like this will ever happen again. how— like this will ever happen again. how can— like this will ever happen again. how can they show that there are incredibly— how can they show that there are incredibly strong checks and balances, strongjournalistic incredibly strong checks and balances, strong journalistic ethics behind _ balances, strong journalistic ethics behind what they do? to be fair, i think— behind what they do? to be fair, i think this — behind what they do? to be fair, i think this did happen a long time ago _ think this did happen a long time ago but— think this did happen a long time ago but i— think this did happen a long time ago. but i think it's important to demonstrate that. i think so far we have _ demonstrate that. i think so far we have seen— demonstrate that. i think so far we have seen the response has hit the film have seen the response has hit the right tone — have seen the response has hit the right tone in that tim daly with an

lot of those questions lying about? was management simply not listening to people who knew, who were in a position to know and give advice? did they hear that advice? decide to do it anyway and it which case why did they do it anyway? there are questions aboutjudgment and about the systems management here. not entirely summing that happened 25 years ago that is regrettable and things have changed, there are still questions to be answered. let’s things have changed, there are still questions to be answered. let's move on and the frankfurt _ questions to be answered. let's move on and the frankfurt paper _ questions to be answered. let's move on and the frankfurt paper from - on and the frankfurt paper from germany. this is how they are covering the story they are in gaza and the news coming out of course this evening that a cease—fire has finally been agreed. giles. yes. this evening that a cease-fire has finally been agreed. giles.- finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire. _ finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire, and _ finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire, and i— finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire, and i think _ finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire, and i think the - finally been agreed. giles. yes, a cease-fire, and i think the worst l cease—fire, and i think the worst budget— cease—fire, and i think the worst budget we — cease—fire, and i think the worst budget we have seen in the region since _ budget we have seen in the region since 2014 — budget we have seen in the region since 2014. more than 250 ——. interesting _ since 2014. more than 250 ——. interesting that president biden intervened and leaned on israel,

pressure to bear as seems to be the case in this instance withjoe biden finally saying to the israelis that they need to rein it in and then it comes to an end. but nothing is structurally solved and that is what it's open pointedly depressing about this is that there is no sense of a road map toward any kind of reconciliation. there is no progress towards the two state solution, which everyone on paper agrees is the right place to go, but no sense of how to get there. things just seem to be in permanent stasis, and as long as that is the case, you can see another flare—up of violence coming in the years and months ahead. that is why it is really such ahead. that is why it is really such a tragic situation. flit ahead. that is why it is really such a tragic situation.— a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire _ a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire set _ a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire set to _ a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire set to come - a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire set to come in - a tragic situation. of course the cease-fire set to come in at - a tragic situation. of course the l cease-fire set to come in at 2am cease—fire set to come in at 2am local time, 11pm in london. let's move to the japan times. giles, approvals of vaccines to bolster roll—out. i approvals of vaccines to bolster roll-out. ~' ., ., , roll-out. i think the role it has been pretty —
