victoria@bbc.co.uk prince harry says the "ripple effect of a culture of exploitation�*” ultimately took his mother's life. in a documentary with oprah, he said he drank too much and took drugs to deal with losing her. a ceasefire between israel and the palestinian militant group hamas comes into effect, ending 11 days of violence which killed nearly 250 people, mostly on the palestinian side. police say rioters who threw bricks at houses and torched cars in swansea will be met with "robust action". a major clean—up is under way. and the return of parkrun on 5th june has been delayed, after less than half its venues approved the return of the 5km runs.
9:02 am
prince william has condemned failures at the bbc 25 years ago for contributing significantly to his mother, princess diana's fear, paranoia and isolation, and said that the corporation had let down his mum, his family and the public. it comes after an independent inquiry found a panorama interview conducted by reporter martin bashir was obtained by deception, and the bbc failed to adequaltely investigate concerns raised at the time. in the 127 page report, lord dyson says: martin bashir was deceitful in the way he obtained the interview. that the bbc�*s own investigation at the time was woefully ineffective, and that the bbc covered up what it actually knew about how the interview was obtained. the bbc�*s director general accepted that the bbc�*s behaviour fell far short of what its audiences expect.
9:03 am
here is the full statement from prince william. i would like to thank lord dyson and his team for the report. it is welcome that the bbc accepts lord dyson's findings in full, which are extremely concerning — that bbc employees lied and used fake documents to obtain the interview with my mother, made lurid and false claims about the royalfamily, which played on herfears and fuelled paranoia, displayed woeful incompetence when investigating complaints and concerns about the programme, and were evasive in their reporting to the media and covered up what they knew from their internal investigation. it is my view that the deceitful way the interview was obtained substantially influenced what my mother said. the interview was a major contribution to making my parents' relationship worse and has since hurt countless others. it brings indescribable sadness to know that the bbc�*s failures contributed significantly to herfear, paranoia and isolation that i remember from those
9:04 am
final years with her. but what saddens me most is that, if the bbc had properly investigated the complaints and concerns first raised in 1995, my mother would have known that she'd been deceived. she was failed notjust by a rogue reporter, but by leaders of the bbc, who looked the other way rather than asking the tough questions. it is my firm view that this panorama programme holds no legitimacy and should never be aired again. it effectively established a false narrative which, for over a quarter of a century, has been commercialised by the bbc and others. this settled narrative now needs to be addressed by the bbc and anyone else who has written or intends to write about these events. in an era of fake news, public service broadcasting and a free press have never been more important. these failings, identified by investigative journalists,
9:05 am
not only let my mother down and my family down, they let the public down, too. if you feel let down by this, i have so many messages i will read them in a moment. in a statement from the us, prince harry said... here's our media editor amol rajan. his report contains some flashing images. watched by almost 23 million people,
9:06 am
martin bashir�*s panorama shocked the world. yesterday, we learned the real story behind the story after a report laid bare a catalogue of failures. lord dyson's independent report, commissioned by the bbc, says bashir was devious and dishonest, lying repeatedly to secure the interview and explain his conduct. he says the bbc investigation into how the interview was obtained was woefully ineffective. and, he adds, withoutjustification. the bbc fell short of the high standard of integrity and transparency which are its hallmark, including by covering up press logs, crucial information that it knew but didn't give to the media. princess diana and prince charles were already separated at the time of the interview. early in september 1995, bashir met earl spencer. he showed him fake bank statements to suggest payments had been made to informants around diana. earl spencer introduced bashir to diana. this constituted a serious breach of the guidelines at the time. the interview aired, but soon journalists at the daily mail group and elsewhere started
9:07 am
asking questions. a bbc investigation led by tony hall, later director—general, cleared bashir, but earl spencer was not approached. a big mistakes, according to dyson. in august 1996, prince charles and princess diana were divorced. she died in a year later. and in panorama last night, earl spencer explained the effect that bashir�*s ception had. the first statements i was shown, the first fake bank statements were to get my trust. the second set was to get to diana, and then to get the interview, so it is a very clear chain from anyone logical�*s point of view. the irony is that i met martin bashir on 31st august, 1995, because exactly two years later she died, and i do draw a line between the two events. this is a young girl, in her mid 30s, who has lived this extraordinarily turbulent and difficult time in the public eye.
9:08 am
she didn't know who to trust, and in the end, when she died, two years later, she was without any form of real protection. martin bashir won a bafta for the programme. he left the bbc last week, having been rehired in 2016. he has long argued that diana would have agreed to speak to him without the fake bank statements. in a statement he said... lord hall of birkenhead, who is the director of bbc news, conducted the investigation into bashir�*s conduct, and was, until last august, the director—general, has apologised and said that he was wrong to give bashir the benefit of the doubt. the bbc has written to members of the royal family to apologise for what happened, and it says it has not plans to run martin bashir�*s panorama in full again.
9:09 am
amol rajan, bbc news. i have been asking you if you agree with prince william, that the bbc has let you down over this, this is what you are saying. pauline says, did mr bashir do wrong, yes e and the investigation was poor at best but this was over 25 years ago, i hope the bbc are not further punished for this h michelle says, the story was there to be told, but how the bbc got the story was disgraceful. another one says wait until prim yam finds out his dad had an affair with until prim yam finds out his dad had an affairwith camilla, until prim yam finds out his dad had an affair with camilla, that the royals removed her protection. and another one says i think the bbc has let itself down, this constant search for balance where sometimes none exists. if you want to get in touch you are very welcome.

i have many more messages from you i will read them through the morning. through the morning. let's talk to matt wiessler. he's a graphic designer, he said he was asked to forge bank statements by martin bashir to help get the interview with princess diana in 1995 for panorama. good morning to you, foifrs all how do you respond to what prince william and prince harry have said overnight? william and prince harry have said overniuht? �* , , ., ., overnight? it's, it is a long time cominu , overnight? it's, it is a long time coming. that — overnight? it's, it is a long time coming, that is _ overnight? it's, it is a long time coming, that is one _ overnight? it's, it is a long time coming, that is one of - overnight? it's, it is a long time coming, that is one of that - overnight? it's, it is a long time i coming, that is one of that stature says the way it is, and yeah, i am very very pleased that they have come forward, because it is done. it is adding incredibly weight to getting to the bottom of this whole saga, and you know, people like me have been waiting for a long time for vindication, and for the truth to come out. for vindication, and for the truth

9:12 am

9:13 am
thrown out of the bbc, you know, other people were threatened, it was a real culture of intimidation at the people, and i was blacklisted, which i only found out 2a years later, but it sort of explained to me why things went so seriously wrong for me, because you know i was an award—winning graphic design e and —— designer and nobody responded to my calls or got back to me with thejobs to my calls or got back to me with the jobs they could have awarded me. what contact have you had from the bbc, after lord dyson's report was published yesterday and is that enough? i published yesterday and is that enou . h? ., ., published yesterday and is that enou i h? ., ., ., published yesterday and is that enouuh? . . ., , . enough? i have had no personal contact, enough? i have had no personal contact. i _ enough? i have had no personal contact, i have _ enough? i have had no personal contact, i have had _ enough? i have had no personal contact, i have had generic - enough? i have had no personal- contact, i have had generic e-mails, contact, i have had generic e—mails,

9:16 am
verbal apology on television, other people don't. i need to talk and find out why this is still happening, because i can tell you from my point of view, every day this goes on, and this sort of cover up this goes on, and this sort of cover up carries on, and this trickle feeding of the truth, the public are losing confidence in the bbc, bbc�*s ability to do its job. losing confidence in the bbc, bbc's ability to do its job.— ability to do its “ob. briefly, are ou ability to do its job. briefly, are you considering _ ability to do its job. briefly, are you considering suing _ ability to do its job. briefly, are you considering suing the - ability to do its job. briefly, are you considering suing the bbc. ability to do its job. briefly, are l you considering suing the bbc for lost of —— loss of earnings? i you considering suing the bbc for lost of -- loss of earnings? i don't want to discuss _ lost of -- loss of earnings? i don't want to discuss that _ lost of -- loss of earnings? i don't want to discuss that here, - lost of -- loss of earnings? i don't want to discuss that here, i - lost of -- loss of earnings? i don't| want to discuss that here, i haven't even thought about it. i have got a business, i have got enough money to get by. i will see my lawyers next week, to, because they have helped me throughout dyson and we will have a good long session. i don't know what is going to happen. but currently, i am quite angry, i still am quite angry, because there seems to be an inability to deal with all

9:18 am
methods were wrong by the royal family and charles mistreated diana in a cruel way. you make it sound like it was bashir and bbc producers who stripped o diana of her titles and briefed against her in the press. let us not forget who threw her to the wolves. you can get in touch. tom mangold was a reporter for panorama when the interview was secured. hello. good morning. what is your reaction to — hello. good morning. what is your reaction to prince _ hello. good morning. what is your reaction to prince william's - reaction to prince william's statement?— reaction to prince william's statement? ~ , ., ., , statement? well, my reaction to prim am's statement? well, my reaction to prim yam's statement _ statement? well, my reaction to prim yam's statement is _ statement? well, my reaction to prim yam's statement is -- _ statement? well, my reaction to prim yam's statement is -- prince - yam's statement is —— prince william's statement what is a terrible thing to happen to the bbc, but can ijust terrible thing to happen to the bbc, but can i just say, terrible thing to happen to the bbc, but can ijust say, victoria, this story is going in the wrong direction. it is a complete waste of time to continue making martin bashir the scoundrel of the century, it is a complete waste of time because as you well know, every
9:19 am
reporter on panorama has his producer, and the producer is totally responsible for what the reporter does. there are at least, at least eight file wallses between at least eight file wallses between a rogue reporter, and the director—general, who is the head of news and current affair, and having read dyson from cover to cover last nigh. i have reached the conclusion that it nigh. i have reached the conclusion thatitis nigh. i have reached the conclusion that it is absolutely inconceivable that it is absolutely inconceivable that all the people in the editorial chain, between bashir and the director—general, that they are all twerps. they are not. i worked for every single one of them. i worked for steve hewlett, a sharp guy, a very sharp guy. tim garden was my editor. tim soutar. tony hall was in my life for pa years. i worked for
9:20 am
john birt. if you put these people they together they have brained that would boil water. are you telling me they were unable to uncover the pathological lies of martin bashir. of course they weren't unable to, so what point are you making? ituni’eiiii of course they weren't unable to, so what point are you making? well the oint i am what point are you making? well the point i am making — what point are you making? well the point i am making is, _ what point are you making? well the point i am making is, that _ what point are you making? well the point i am making is, that it- what point are you making? well the point i am making is, that it seems l point i am making is, that it seems to me that if you read dyson in detail, that there must have been, and i am the opposite of a conspiracy their rirks i really am. there must have been an agreement once the terrible scandal emerges, the bbc could not admit what had happened. i cannot believe that the investigation conducted by tony hall and some person call other person was as bad as dyson said unless they wanted it to be bad. i see in dyson time and time again, evidence of what one would have to call a conspiracy to keep quiet. fiic what one would have to call a conspiracy to keep quiet. 0k. well it would be —

9:22 am
press office, was instructed to tell lies, and to have to missions of the truth. fiic now the big question in truth. 0k. now the big question in m truth. ok. now the big question in my mind is, every single panorama reporter, whether he be a senior like me or a junior like martin, has a producer, and you know victoria, you have a producer, i can't go to the men's room without getting clearance from my producer. he takes, he or she takes full responsibility for my output, from beginning to end, the bbc has never memberioned the name of martin bashir�*s producer and i think in many ways, it is unfair to excoriate bashir all the time because you have all these firewalls between a rogue reporter, and the transmission. bill reporter, and the transmission. all right. reporter, and the transmission. all ri . ht. you reporter, and the transmission. all right. you telling _ reporter, and the transmission. all right. you telling me _ reporter, and the transmission. all right. you telling me it's _ reporter, and the transmission. all right. you telling me it's a - right. you telling me it's a coincidence _ right. you telling me it's a coincidence that _ right. you telling me it's a coincidence that every - right. you telling me it's a j coincidence that every one right. you telling me it's a i coincidence that every one of right. you telling me it's a - coincidence that every one of them failed? . ~' , ., , coincidence that every one of them failed? ., ,, i. , . failed? thank you very much. former senior— failed? thank you very much. former senior reporters - failed? thank you very much. former senior reporters at i failed? thank you very much. - former senior reporters at panorama.
9:23 am
our media correspondent david sillito is here. the dyson report has not drawn a line under this as some might have hoped although prince harry said thank you for owning to it the bbc. a midterm review of the bbc charter is due next year. the culture secretary said the government would have to consider further reforms. is there any risk to the current boss of the bbc, and the renewal of the charrer more widely. big questions. there are many _ charrer more widely. big questions. there are many questions _ charrer more widely. big questions. there are many questions about - there are many questions about command of control in all of this, there is what martin bashir did, there is what martin bashir did, there is what martin bashir did, there is the investigation in the 19905, there is the investigation in the 1990s, woefully ineffective, there is the fact it has taken 25 years, to come to light, and also, how did it happen, and how can you prove it won't happen again? so those are big questions. how do you show that it won't happen again? because as lord dyson said this is about the
9:24 am
integrity and transparency of the bbc. prince harry said this is at least may be one step forward to justice and truth, and it is not justice and truth, and it is not just the bbc who maybe face question about methods but the focus is very clearly today, on the bbc today. when prince william made his statement he was not talking about 25 years ago, he was very clearly looking at the bbc today, asking questions of it. so, yesterday was the day of a full round of apology, to the palace for the lurid and untrue claims that martin bashir made about members of the royal household, so the questions there will be, the people who are affected, such as matt wiessler and the people of the royal household. but the wider ones are how do you ensure that the public trusts the bbc, that this won't happen again and that is a much more difficult question for the director—general.
9:25 am
yes. i mean some have said there needs to be another inquiry, why martin bashir was rehired, why whistle—blowers were treated so badly all those years ago. some say the police should be involved because there were forge documents which martin bashir has apologised for. and then there is this sort of, wider question of should there be more reform of the bbc by the government. where do you think this goes next david? i government. where do you think this goes next david?— goes next david? i think there will be the personal— goes next david? i think there will be the personal questions - goes next david? i think there will be the personal questions of- goes next david? i think there will be the personal questions of the l be the personal questions of the people directly affected. i think that will be on people's minds, because these were lies, that martin bashir said, according to lord dyson's report, and, for many people, prince william said this fed princess diana's fear, par i know yo and distrust, —— paranoia and she believed that the people around her could not be trusted, so this will have had an impact on their lives,
9:26 am
so that will be the first thing. the wide wider question of how the bbc addresses this issue of trust, that is a much wider question and a more difficult one to focus on, but there will be questions about that investigation, in the 1990s, what happens again if a similar situation happens again if a similar situation happens and how can you ensure that any further investigation won't be woefully ineffective.— any further investigation won't be woefully ineffective. people should 'ust tell the woefully ineffective. people should just tell the truth, _ woefully ineffective. people should just tell the truth, that _ woefully ineffective. people should just tell the truth, that would - woefully ineffective. people should just tell the truth, that would be i woefully ineffective. people should just tell the truth, that would be a | just tell the truth, that would be a good start, would it not. thank you david. as to whether you have lost trust in the bbc, prince william said in his tv statement that the bbc's let his family down and let you the public down. this from imogen. william's mum and family were let down by bashir and the programme makers but were the public? i don't think so. the tabloids going off the bbc for in have some balls. they handed —— hounded diana for years and are trying to appear whiter than white.
9:27 am
another one says prince william should be more upset about his father's affair. another one says forging bank statement to drive a woman into a state of paranoia in the hope of getting a gory interview and the bbc trying to sweep everything under the carpet. it is pretty appalling. keep them coming in. keep them coming in. meanwhile, prince harry has described how he binge drank and took drugs as a way of deal with the loss of his mum. he was speaking in the first part of a tv series he has produced with oprah, which looks at mental health issues. our royal correspondent, sarah campbell, reports. this is where prince harry said he was happiest — in the army, with no special treatment, wearing the same uniform as everybody else. it was carrying out royal duties that he now says caused him severe anxiety and panic attacks. to help him cope, he turned to drink. i was willing to drink, i was willing to take drugs,
9:28 am
i was willing to try and do the things that made me feel less like i was feeling. but i slowly became aware that, ok, i wasn't drinking monday to friday, but i would probably drink a week's worth in one day on a friday or a saturday night, and i was finding myself drinking not because i was enjoying it, but because i was trying to mask something. in perhaps an early warning sign of future problems, it emerged in 2002 that prince charles had sent a teenage harry to meet staff and patients at a drugs rehabilitation centre after he admitted smoking cannabis at the highgrove estate. understandably, harry attributes much of his pain to the very public loss of his mother when he was just shy of his 13th birthday. for me, the thing i remember the most was the sound of the horses' hooves going along the mall, the red brick road. by this point, both of us were in shock. it was like i was outside of my body
9:29 am
and just walking along, doing what was expected of me. showing one tenth of the emotion that everybody else was showing. charles, charles. this is my mum, you never even met her. it has been a difficult few months for the royal family, who are also having to come to terms with harry's determination to share his pain with the world. again, they too have come in for criticism for what harry sees as theirfailure to support him and meghan. i felt completely helpless. i thought my family would help. but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, or total neglect. now, living in california with his family, after years of not talking about his grief and trauma, harry firmly believes discussing his mental health battles
9:30 am
publicly will help others. sarah cambell, bbc news. afua adom is a writer and journalist. what do you think of some of the startling revelations?— startling revelations? again, shockina startling revelations? again, shocking victoria. _ startling revelations? again, shocking victoria. things - startling revelations? again, | shocking victoria. things that startling revelations? again, l shocking victoria. things that i don't think we expected or maybe perhaps we did because of the interview that went out with meghan and harry earlier on this year with oprah. harry talking about drinking, potential drug use, and saying he has been in therapy for four years now and the primary cause of that was the death of his mother, which i don't think anybody is very surprised by. again, talking about asking the royal family for help, seeing gps, practitioner, some holistic prigs in additioner ins as —— practitioners as well. i think it's the repeated calls for help that people will be surprised that

him and harry and meghan went to the firm and said we need help with our mental health and that was ignored and denied, much like it was for his own mother, diana. it seems perhaps what he went through, what he has been going through mirrors what she went through at the time as well, that she felt trapped, that she asked for help with her mental health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is so _ health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is so good _ health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is so good that _ health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is so good that he - health, and that wasn't given. hello i think it is so good that he is being honest about his mental health journey, about asking for help, about talking to people,, about the good community can do you over the five parts of this documentary series, and that is what is really important. and, yes, we can focus on prince harry perhaps talking about is father and his grandmother, but we should focus on him talking about this mental health journey, we should focus on him talking about this mental healthjourney, him talking about his experience of grief and how he is going through
9:32 am
that, and hopefully that can inspire other people to do the same thing. some people will be able to relate very much to him saying that he tried to deal with it, he was self—medicating with drink and drugs, as people do, as we now come up drugs, as people do, as we now come up when they are going through struggles. there will be others who say too much over sharing, this is another. , ., , ., another. there will be lots of eo - le another. there will be lots of people who _ another. there will be lots of people who may _ another. there will be lots of people who may be - another. there will be lots of people who may be saying i another. there will be lots of| people who may be saying he another. there will be lots of - people who may be saying he has had too much therapy or he is playing up too much therapy or he is playing up to his victimhood, but this is his own experience, and he is owning it, and going through it in the way he sees fit. if you can use his platform in this way, to be talking about mental health, talking about mental health issues, to bring that to the fore, that is a form of service, with or without the royal family. of course there will be people who are sick of him over sharing, who are tired of hearing about it, but this is hisjourney,
9:33 am
and frankly, if they don't want to hear about it, they cannot read a newspaper or watch the documentary, it really is that simple. in a newspaper or watch the documentary, it really is that simple.— it really is that simple. in a very much, it really is that simple. in a very much. thanks — it really is that simple. in a very much, thanks for— it really is that simple. in a very much, thanks for talking - it really is that simple. in a very much, thanks for talking to - it really is that simple. in a very much, thanks for talking to us, | much, thanks for talking to us, thank you. hopefully we have got the boards now with mike. —— we have got the sport. let's start in sunny south carolina, where rory mcilroy teed off as favourite to win the uspga tournament, one of golf�*s majors, which he won the last time it was held on this course. some nine years ago, but he did warn that history wouldn't mean anything. and he told himself not to think, too hard about, making a good start, to ignore the ocean and other hazards, but the mind set didn't work, as his first tee shot went into the water, not that he could work out where it was for a while.
9:34 am
he is three over par, eight shots of the lead. englishman sam horse field is just two shots of the lead, martin laird is a further shot back. in football, it feels so good to be back home for charlie adam towards the end of his long career. the former liverpool star is now playing for his home town of dundee, and at 35, he scored the goal that gives the championship club a great chance of getting back into the premiership. they won 2—1 in the promotion play—off first leg, beating kilmarnock, who are hoping to extend their 28—year stay in the premiership. the second leg is on monday. chelsea's women bounced back from their champions league final defeat in style. they romped to a 3—0 win over everton to reach the quarterfinals in the fa cup. drew spence with the header with made it comfortable. with the wsl title and the league cup already secured, emma hayes's side are still on for a domestic treble. fresh from celebrating his third premier league title with manchester city, pep guardiola's eyes are now firmly
9:35 am
on the champions league final. city will face chelsea in porto next saturday, and he'll be aiming to add the only trophy that's missing from his collection since arriving in manchester. he's been speaking to our own dan walker. for us to be in the final of the champions league, we have never been before. we have never been in semifinals. but once, now, never to been in the final already. but for sure, we want to win. the best way to win the final is to be ready. in the games you still have to play. it is a dream come true again, so, yes, for this club, never been before. going to the final of the champions league is a dream. so hopefully we can do a good performance. you can see more you can see more of you can see more of that interview tomorrow on football focus. well, city's neighbours, manchester united, also have the chance of european glory next week. they play villarreal in the europa league final. sir alex ferguson twice won the european cup as united manager, and speaking ahead of a premiere
9:36 am
of a film about his life and career, he told us that united's star quality mightjust make the difference. a decent team, i saw them against arsenal, i thought they played well. but in saying that, our boys are playing well, and i have got matchwinners in the team. that is a good thing, cavani, they are winners, these boys are winning games for you. i think, going winners, these boys are winning games foryou. ithink, going into the final, you have got that kind of support system in your team, it gives you a chance. formula 1 has become a billionaire's club, accordiong to seven—time world champion lewis hamilton. he made the comments to a spanish newspaper, with the backdrop of the glitz and glamour of monaco, ahead of one of the most famous of the grand prix weekends. he said there's no way he could break into the sport from his working—class background if he tried to do so now. hamilton was third quickest in practice yesterday, ahead of final practice and qualifying tomorrow. the olympics can't come soon
9:37 am
enough for britain's swimmers, after another gold at the european swimming championships in budapest. adam peaty says he's even more excited now, after the mixed relay team that also included james guy, kathleen dawson and anna hopkin won the mixed ax100m medley and set a new european record too. freya anderson also took bronze in the 200m freestyle. so far, we've seen in the bulletin plenty of sunshine in the south of france and south carolina, but as we know, the uk weather is notoriously fickle. fans returned to county cricket grounds yesterday following the easing of covid restrictions. and this is what many were greeted with. remarkably, there was at least some play in all of the matches, but most were affected by the rain and miserable conditions. after waiting for so long to enjoy some county cricket in what should be late spring sunshine. that is all the sport for now, victoria.
9:38 am
news just newsjust coming in, the metropolitan police have said they will assess the contents of lord dyson's report on the bbc panorama interview with diana to, quote, ensure there is no significant new evidence after previously deciding not to begin a criminal investigation. scotland yard say in a statement released in a few minutes they had determined it was not appropriate to begin a criminal investigation into allegations of unlawful activity in connection with the 1995 interview, but should any significant new evidence emerged, it would be assessed. and now they say, following publication of the report, we will assess its contents to ensure there is no significant new evidence. i have been asking you this morning if you agree with prince william that the corporation has let you down over this. samantha says, it was the institution of the monarchy which led diana down. the bbc was out of order, but how the
9:39 am
monarchy treated diana was abhorrent. alan says, surely the years of cover—up and subsequent whitewash investigation with regard to jimmy whitewash investigation with regard tojimmy savile was far whitewash investigation with regard to jimmy savile was far worse whitewash investigation with regard tojimmy savile was far worse than this. jay answers, charles let william, diane and harry dunn by having an affair with kellerman. —— harry down by having an affair with camilla. let's talk now to the conservative mp damian collins, who was chair of the digital, culture, media and sport committee from 2017 to 2019. good morning to you. i want to 2019. good morning to you. i want to ask a broader question about the bbc, it has many political enemies, some in your party, how much is now a moment of risk for the bbc, do you think? ~ ~' �* �* a moment of risk for the bbc, do you think? ~ ~ �* �* , think? well, i think the bbc needs

9:41 am
they go wrong. is good at investigating things when they go wrong-— they go wrong. well, i don't think ou can they go wrong. well, i don't think you can draw _ they go wrong. well, i don't think you can draw that _ they go wrong. well, i don't think you can draw that conclusion, - you can draw that conclusion, because tony hall, then managing director of news at the bbc, he led a personal investigation... director of news at the bbc, he led a personal investigation. . .- a personal investigation... sorry, i didn't mean— a personal investigation... sorry, i didn't mean tony _ a personal investigation... sorry, i didn't mean tony hall's _ didn't mean tony hall's investigation, which, as the dyson report said, was woefully inadequate, but the dyson report was commissioned by the director—general, it was independent and has highlighted the many failings from those years ago. exactly right, and it was commissioned on the back of an investigation by the mail on sunday, tim davie was right to have an independent review, so if a serious allegation comes up again, would it be handled in this way? would an outside individual, law firm or independent body be brought in to lead an investigation? it is not bbc line managers investigating people in their own departments, i think thatis in their own departments, i think that is what we need now, and i think what tim davie should say is what he thinks the best policy
9:42 am
should be for the serious issues, should be for the serious issues, should they be done externally, in which case by who, i think that is what we need to know. aha, which case by who, i think that is what we need to know. a mid-term review of the _ what we need to know. a mid-term review of the bbc _ what we need to know. a mid-term review of the bbc charter _ what we need to know. a mid-term review of the bbc charter is - what we need to know. a mid-term review of the bbc charter is due - review of the bbc charter is due next year. what are the risks for the bbc, bearing in mind what dyson has said? ~ ~ , ., has said? well, i think in terms of structures — has said? well, i think in terms of structures and _ has said? well, i think in terms of structures and processes, - has said? well, i think in terms of structures and processes, i - has said? well, i think in terms of structures and processes, i think. structures and processes, i think tim davie needs to set out how the bbc would handle investigations like this in the future. historically, what happened was they failed to investigate and i threw the whistle—blowers under the bus, people who were punished at the time were not martin bashir, it was the people who came forward with evidence of his wrongdoing, and they were briefed against in the media as well. how would it be handled differently? i see some similarities here between the initial investigation that tony hall led, the way in which the bbc failed to treat seriously and soon enough the allegations around jimmy savile, evenin allegations around jimmy savile, even in the way that women in the
9:43 am
bbc which we did when they came forward with concerns about equal pat’- forward with concerns about equal pay. the bbc does not have a good track record for whistle—blowers and to rigorously investigate things when i go wrong, so i think the charter view is a good point, it may be ahead of that, for the bbc to set out what processes should be in the future. . . ., ., , , , future. prince william has suggested in that calm but _ future. prince william has suggested in that calm but angry _ future. prince william has suggested in that calm but angry statement - in that calm but angry statement last night that the narrative that has been established about his mother's life is false, because of the way the interview was obtained and at the bbc somehow needs to address that. do you agree with that? ~ ., ~ ., ., that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer— that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer said _ that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer said last _ that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer said last night _ that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer said last night that - that? well, i... he would know, and el spencer said last night that he - el spencer said last night that he thought the interview set in train the events that ultimately led to her death. princess diana was put in a very exposed position, and was that right? what understanding was
9:44 am
that right? what understanding was that of what they were putting her through, and indeed the methods used to get out to do the interview, and the impact it should have been given, and the effect it would have had on her own thought processes. i think it is understandable that prince william and indeed earl spencer would have those concerns, which makes it very serious. a ceasefire between israel and the palestinian militant group hamas has ended 11 days of fighting. the egyptian—brokered truce has been welcomed by leaders around the world, including us presidentjoe biden. courtney bembridge reports. there were celebrations on the streets of gaza city after the ceasefire came into effect
9:45 am
in the early hours of the morning. it brings to an end 11 days of bombardment in which more than 240 have died, mostly in gaza. hamas is a militant group that rules there, and this was the reaction to the truce. translation: i say that today this battle stops, i but netanyahu and the whole world should know that our hands are on the trigger and we will continue to ramp up the capabilities of this resistance, and we will tell netanyahu and his army, "if you come back, we will come back." the office of the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the ceasefire was mutual and unconditional. the ceasefire is good for humanitarian reasons, to let civilians _ humanitarian reasons, to let civilians relax on both sides. i'm scoptical— civilians relax on both sides. i'm sceptical that it will really be kept — sceptical that it will really be kept for _ sceptical that it will really be kept for a while. i don't think kept for a while. idon't think israel— kept for a while. i don't think israel has _ kept for a while. i don't think israel has achieved much, i mean,

9:48 am
an investigation is under way in swansea following what police have described as "large scale disorder" in the city yesterday evening. videos posted on social media show people setting fire to cars and rolling them down a hill on a residential street. officers say the incident may have started out as a vigil to a local person who'd recently died but then "escalated into violence". a covid variant first identified in india and spreading in parts of the uk is continuing to cause concern in the north west of the country. bolton is leading the way with the number of cases, with the area far above the national average. in the past week a number of vaccination centres have been set up in a bid to control the spike in infections, and health officials are targeting around 10,000 people who are eligible but have yet to come forward. we can speak now to dr helen wall, who is leading the town's vaccine roll—out. how do you get these missing 10,000 people to come forward to have a

indian variant started to rise as we have allowed people who are eligible within those areas who work live all study, so the 10,000 will not be purely people living in that area before that, so i am confident we have captured a lot of those people but there is still a considerable way to go, and we are now planning to move to other parts of built where the 10,000 we mentioned was purely in the bl3 area, which was the initial area of high concern, but we are now moving out and our vaccine surging to other parts of bolton. .,, , .,, ., ., vaccine surging to other parts of bolton. , ., ., bolton. those people who have come forward, bolton. those people who have come forward. they — bolton. those people who have come forward. they -- _ bolton. those people who have come forward, they -- this _ bolton. those people who have come forward, they -- this week— bolton. those people who have come forward, they -- this week in - forward, they —— this week in particular, they were eligible beforehand butjust have not come forward until now? its, beforehand butjust have not come forward until now?— beforehand butjust have not come forward until now? a large ma'ority of them, forward until now? a large ma'ority of them. having i forward until now? a large ma'ority of them, having spoken * forward until now? a large ma'ority of them, having spoken to h forward until now? a large majority of them, having spoken to people i forward until now? a large majorityl of them, having spoken to people at the site, a large majority were indeed over the age of 50 or had been shielding were clinically vulnerable, and i have chosen to

9:52 am
work with community engagement, to make sure that people are notjust supported to get the vaccine but to encourage them to go for testing without symptoms and to follow the advice around hands, face, space and isolating if they are symptomatic. can ijust be clear, how many people do you think are still to be vaccinated? it is not 10,000, but how many is it? i vaccinated? it is not 10,000, but how many is it?— how many is it? i would hazard a cuess, how many is it? i would hazard a guess. in — how many is it? i would hazard a guess. in that — how many is it? i would hazard a guess, in that particular- how many is it? i would hazard a guess, in that particular area - how many is it? i would hazard a guess, in that particular area of| guess, in that particular area of bl3, we have done at least 50% of those 10,000, possibly more. but when we quoted the 10,000 figure, that wasjust for that when we quoted the 10,000 figure, that was just for that one area of bolton. we have about four or five areas of high deprivation in bolton, and we are now having to expand our efforts into those areas, alongside the expansion of the surge testing in order to capture those people as well. ., , ., ., , in order to capture those people as well. ., , ., . , .,, well. can you add it up in those different postcodes, _ well. can you add it up in those different postcodes, then? -

9:54 am
with high areas of deprivation, we have younger people, and therefore when we think we are hitting those figures, more people are added to that eligibility list, so we have done it, yeah, good luck, thank you very much. spain is going to allow you in to spain is going to allow you in to spain without a negative swab test from may the 24th. so you will not need to show a negative test, which is quite extraordinary. that is according to an order published in the state gazette today. spain is going to allow travellers from britain and japan into spain without a negative pcr test. as you know, we are told not to go to spain on holiday, we can only go, the prime minister says we should only go for essential or extreme reasons, that was the phrase he used. we shouldn't be going to spain on holiday, just essential reasons like a funeral or
9:55 am
seeing a relative who is very ill. if you do go to spain, you have to isolate at home when you come back, because spain is on the amber list. but spain says it will allow you without a pcr test from may the 24th, which is next week. a report on the government's compensation scheme for victims of the windrush scandal says the home office is still failing to pay claimants quickly enough. the national audit office also says many of the people thought to be eligible for payments have yet to apply. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello. i'll start with a quick reminder that it is late may, not october, it certainly feels like that at the moment. the view from space shows this massive swirl of cloud more reminiscent of a storm crossing the uk in october than during late spring.
9:56 am
bands of rain swirling around its, strongest winds to the southern edge and across southern counties of england, widespread gales this afternoon through the english channel, winds touching 50, maybe 60 miles an hour at times, too. but at least here, a little bit of sunshine and one or two showers, sunshine to the far north and north west of scotland. but for the rest, staying cloudy, outbreaks of rain coming and going, most persistent through parts of wales, northern england and through moray, aberdeenshire and angus. a cold feel here with gale force winds coming in from the northeast and for all, temperatures way down on where we expect for this stage in late may. this evening and overnight, as our air of low pressure starts to push its way off into the north, the northerly winds will start to develop for all of us. these conditions are where drier weather will be into the morning, west of scotland, northern ireland, with a bit of morning sunshine, cloudy elsewhere with some outbreaks of rain. but compared to today and indeed yesterday, saturday looking a bit more optimistic for those hoping to head out, fewer showers around and the winds nowhere near as strong.

but by sunday, after a bright start, more rain will return. let's take a look at saturday. best of the morning sunshine west of scotland, northern ireland, brightening up across other western areas, one 01’ two showers. most of the cloud will break up. the strong winds down eastern coast will slowly start to ease, and many actually have a dry and sunny afternoon, but there'll be a few showers dotted around through parts of the midlands, southern england. if you catch a shower, there's a chance it could be heavy and thundery. again, another cool day, even though the breeze is starting to ease. a rather chilly night through saturday night into sunday, and then the next low pressure system gets ready to swing its way in. so eastern areas start off dry and bright. some will stay dry all day long. best chance in the far north east of scotland with the sunshine. clouding over there for most, heavy rain to begin with, turn to sunshine and showers across ireland. that heavy rain spreads across parts of scotland, wales and the western half of england by the end of sunday afternoon, heading its way towards eastern coast through the evening. a chilly day for all with strong winds, though not as strong as today, really blustery into monday
