after unprecedented criticism of the bbc by prince william over the panorama interview with his mother, the prime minister says he hopes nothing like it will ever happen again. borisjohnson say he's very concerned by the findings of the report, which criticised the bbc for the way it secured the interview with princess diana. i can only imagine the feelings of the royal family, and i hope very much that the bbc will be taking every possible step to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. scotland yard has said it will now assess the contents of the inquiry�*s report after previously deciding against a criminal investigation. prince harry speaks about the trauma of the death of his mother, and the support he says he and his wife needed when she was pregnant with their son and

she was having suicidal thoughts. the thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me, after everything that had happened to my mum, and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby. a ceasefire between israel and the militant group hamas has brought an end to 11 days of fighting. and here comes the sun — spain welcomes tourists, but the eu delays any decision to opening up this summer. and coming up on the bbc news channel, leicester's premier league winning captain wes morgan says he'll retire at the end of the season after more than 750 professional games.

good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the prime minister has said he's very concerned about the bbc�*s handling of its 1995 interview with princess diana, after yesterday's highly critical report by a formerjudge. lord dyson condemned the way the broadcaster secured the interview and its failure to properly investigate its journalists. borisjohnson said the bbc had to ensure nothing like it ever happened again. last night, prince william said the interview had played a part in the collapse of his parents�* marriage. david sillito reports. the story that has emerged — that landmark interview with princess diana was based on a deceit. the dyson report concludes that fake documents were used to win the trust of princess diana's brother, that

martin bashir was devious and dishonest, the bbc investigation was declared woefully ineffective. prince william says the deception fuelled his mother's paranoia and distrust. it fuelled his mother's paranoia and distrust. , , ., distrust. it is my view that the deceitful way _ distrust. it is my view that the deceitful way the _ distrust. it is my view that the deceitful way the interview - distrust. 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 heard countless others. it brings indescribable sadness to know that the bbc�*s failures contributed significantly to herfear, paranoia and isolation that i rememberfrom those 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 filed notjust by a rogue reporter but by leaders of the bbc, who looked the other way rather than

asking the tough questions. the investigation at the time was led by tony hall, who would go on to become director—general of the bbc. its deficiencies have led to questions about oversight of the corporation. well, i am obviously concerned by the findings of lord dyson's report, i'm very— the findings of lord dyson's report, i'm very grateful to him for what he's _ i'm very grateful to him for what he's done, — i'm very grateful to him for what he's done, i_ i'm very grateful to him for what he's done, i can only imagine the feelings— he's done, i can only imagine the feelings of— he's done, i can only imagine the feelings of the royal family, and i hope _ feelings of the royal family, and i we very— feelings of the royal family, and i hope very much that the bbc will be taking _ hope very much that the bbc will be taking every possible step to make sure that _ taking every possible step to make sure that nothing like this ever happens — sure that nothing like this ever happens again. | sure that nothing like this ever happens again-— happens again. i think the government _ happens again. i think the government has - happens again. i think the government has to, - happens again. i think the government has to, in - happens again. i think the | government has to, in the happens again. i think the - government has to, in the light of these serious findings, consider the matter very carefully and comprehensively indeed, because it wasn'tjust comprehensively indeed, because it wasn't just the decision comprehensively indeed, because it wasn'tjust the decision of comprehensively indeed, because it wasn't just the decision of a reporter or a production team — there were decisions made much further up the chain about the conduct of these individuals that have now proved, according to lord dyson, to be unfounded and wrong. and therefore the government does

have a responsibility to look very carefully to see whether the governance of the bbc does need to reform in the light of these devastating findings. the reform in the light of these devastating findings. reform in the light of these devastatin: findinus. �* �* ~ devastating findings. the bbc knew back in 1996 _ devastating findings. the bbc knew back in 1996 about _ devastating findings. the bbc knew back in 1996 about the _ devastating findings. the bbc knew back in 1996 about the fake - devastating findings. the bbc knew back in 1996 about the fake bank. back in 1996 about the fake bank statements. lord dyson said the bbc�*s new martin bashir had lied when he said he'd not shown them to earl spencer. the defence was this note from princess diana, saying she had not seen the offending documents but there were people in the bbc who had concerns. the problem, they say, was the corporation's culture. in very late in 1995, i brought the documents to the attention of the bbc management, as i was asked to do by a bbc lawyer, and was told within 24 by a bbc lawyer, and was told within 2a hours of doing that that i would no longer be part of the programme, i had been disloyal. that is what happened to whistle—blowers at that time at the bbc. happened to whistle-blowers at that time at the bbc.— time at the bbc. there is also the auestion time at the bbc. there is also the question of _ time at the bbc. there is also the question of the _ time at the bbc. there is also the question of the impact _ time at the bbc. there is also the question of the impact of - time at the bbc. there is also the question of the impact of modern| question of the impact of modern bushy�*s allegations on the people he

published injune 1992, their parents. andrew morton's book, published injune1992, really perhaps was that point. they separated in december 1992. at the panorama interview was perhaps the final straw, panorama interview was perhaps the finalstraw, both panorama interview was perhaps the final straw, both for the couple and for the royal family. a month after its transmission, the queen gave her permission for the couple to divorce, a divorce which came through the following year. and that, of course, was when william witnessed the sharp deterioration in the relationship between his parents, the increasing isolation that diana felt, the paranoia to which he referred, and william was very upset when the interview was transmitted. he was at school at the time. he is believed to have met martin bashir several times after the interview, and he is believed to have become extremely suspicious of bashir and to have advised his mother not to have anything more to do with him. so i think dyson confirmed what william has all along

felt and suspected for these 25 years and led to that devastating critique that a voice last night on the bbc. now, the bbc hasjust issued a further short statement, in which they say, we now have a thorough and industry—leading whistle—blowing scheme which provides clear and independent routes to raise concerns and, if necessary, direct access for whistle—blowers to a non—executive director on the bbc�*s board. clearly much more to be said about this. for now, much more to be said about this. for new. nick. — much more to be said about this. for now, nick, thank you. prince harry has described how he turned to drink and drugs as a way of dealing with the trauma of losing his mother. in a tv series he's made about mental health, the prince said he would drink a week's worth of alcohol in a single night to cope with his feelings. here's our royal correspondent sarah campbell, and just a warning that her report contains flash photography. 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, 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 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. while describe the added pressure he felt when he met meghan markle and they became the focus of worldwide media attention, some of it positive, much of it negative. yeah, m bi est positive, much of it negative. yeah, my biggest regret — positive, much of it negative. yeah, my biggest regret is _ positive, much of it negative. yeah, my biggest regret is not _ positive, much of it negative. yeah, my biggest regret is not making - positive, much of it negative. ie—i my biggest regret is not making more of a stance early on in my relationship with my wife and calling out racism than i did. history was repeating itself. my

mother was changed to her death while she was in a relationship with someone that wasn't white, and now look what's happened. if you want to talk about history repeating itself, they are not going to stop until she dies. in they are not going to stop until she dies. , ., dies. in her interview with oprah winfre , dies. in her interview with oprah winfrey. the _ dies. in her interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess _ dies. in her interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess of - dies. in her interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess of sussexl winfrey, the duchess of sussex revealed it was shortly before this engagement at the albert hall, when she was pregnant with archie, that she was pregnant with archie, that she told harry she was having suicidal thoughts. the she told harry she was having suicidal thoughts.— she told harry she was having suicidal thoughts. the thing that sto - ed suicidal thoughts. the thing that stepped him _ suicidal thoughts. the thing that stopped him from _ suicidal thoughts. the thing that stopped him from seeing - suicidal thoughts. the thing that stopped him from seeing it - suicidal thoughts. the thing that. stopped him from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me, after everything that happened to my mum, and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby. archie was born months later. harry saysin archie was born months later. harry says in a documentary that wondering whether he would have to end up looking after his son by himself was one of the biggest reasons to leave. 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 their failure to support him and his wife. i as their failure to support him and his wife. . ., , , his wife. i felt completely helpless- _ his wife. i felt completely helpless. i— his wife. i felt completely helpless. i thought - his wife. i felt completely helpless. i thought my i his wife. i felt completely - helpless. i thought my family his wife. 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. met with total silence, or total ne . lect. ., met with total silence, or total neulect. ., ., ., ., neglect. now living in california with his family, _ neglect. now living in california with his family, after— neglect. now living in california with his family, after years - neglect. now living in california with his family, after years of i neglect. now living in california i with his family, after years of not talking about his grief and trauma, harry firmly believes discussing his mental health battles publicly will help others. let's pick up on that last point with sarah, that is incredibly moving, to see the footage of the 12—year—old boy at that time, and he has spoken so openly, it is difficult to see now, with the criticism that goes along with that in terms of the royal family, how

his personal relationship with his family can now be healed. weill. family can now be healed. well, kate, this _ family can now be healed. well, kate, this documentary - family can now be healed. well, kate, this documentary series . family can now be healed. well, l kate, this documentary series was first mooted two years ago, this collaboration between him and oprah winfrey, so perhaps an early sign that he wasn't happy, that he saw himself doing something outside of the royal confines. there are other celebrities in it, lady gaga, glenn close, but it is prince harry who is the thread throughout the whole five episodes of this series. have we heard some of it before? yes, but not in the detail about the level of trauma that he was feeling as an exit, following the death of his mother, the fact that he turned to drink and drugs, more detail of the trauma that he and meghan experienced in a brief spell as working members of the royal family, and as difficult as it might be to hearfor the royal and as difficult as it might be to hear for the royal family, and as difficult as it might be to hearfor the royal family, criticism that they say when they turn to the royal family for help, they didn't get the help and support that they need. this is his side of the story,

it is unchallenged, as we have to say with all of the interviews and podcasts he has done recently, but he has made clear now, he has made clear again he has made clear now, he has made clearagain and again he has made clear now, he has made clear again and again that he feels by talking about his mental health battles, he feels he can help other people, and he has signed big deals with netflix, with spotify, with apple tv, so clearly at the moment, at least, other people want to hear what he has got to say. fiifi at least, other people want to hear what he has got to say.— what he has got to say. ok, sarah, thank yom — a ceasefire between israel and the palestinian militant group hamas appears to be holding. 11 days of bombardment led to the deaths of more than 230 palestinians, including 65 children, and 12 people in israel, two of them children. experts warn it will also have a lasting impact on the mental health of youngsters. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell has been hearing from children on both sides. edan and nadine. their young lives have been consumed by conflict. this week in gaza, nadine saw her neighbours' homes reduced to rubble. with school cancelled, she has been making videos for social media,

documenting the destruction by israeli air strikes. 0ne clip of her distraught went viral. i don't know what to do, i'mjust10. i'm just 10. it captured the mental trauma of children, who make up half of gaza's two million people. instead of playing games, nadine's been worrying about life and death. me and my brothers are scared for each other, so we always try to be together, because if we die together that will be the best thing, because we can still see each other when we go to heaven. just a few miles away, edan, who is 11, lives here in southern israel, with his parents and three dogs. they relax me when there's bombs. he rarely leaves the house, so that he stays near the family's bomb shelter inside. at least twice a day, warning sirens have been going off because of rockets and mortars fired by militants in gaza.

we have to run to the bomb shelter, and it's so dangerous because we can die, and we only have 15 seconds. we try to get there as fast as we can and close the door so we don't die. so it's really scary, but we try, we are getting used to it. the latest violence has left widespread devastation, but as palestinians and israelis pick up the pieces of their lives, the damage that has been done to the next generation may be hardest to mend. and we can speak to yolande now. the impact on children clear to see, yolande. what hope that this ceasefire will hold? well, so far the ceasefire is sticking but still things remain tentative. it is not set in stone,

and the egyptians who brokered the latest tomahawk missile said they will send officials to gaza and tel aviv to monitor all developments. just like we have seen in previous conflicts since hamas took over gaza backin conflicts since hamas took over gaza back in 2007, you have got both sides here claiming victory, so at friday prayers palestinian imams were saying just that, you have from israel the boasts it is now eliminated some important militant commanders, in gaza, with this latest operation, still a lot of ordinary people are just very conservative partical and we saw this lunchtime, at al—aqsa mosques palestinian worshippers again in confrontations with israeli security force, using tear gas and stun grenades, palestinians throwing stones, these were smaller scale confrontations than we have seen in previous weeks but this is exactly the kind of scene that really

triggered the latest wave of violence. now, what we have got is the us promising humanitarian assistance for guards, we have the uk, the united nations, and others really calling for renewed talks between israel and the palestinians, pointing out while the root causes of this conflict is not solved, not address there's is another chance of address there's is another chance of a dangerous escalation.— our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister says he's very concerned about the bbc�*s handling of its 1995 interview with princess diana. borisjohnson said the corporation's leadership had to ensure nothing like it ever happened again. ican i can only imagine the feelings of the royal family, and i hope very much that the bbc will be taking every possible step to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. that nothing like this ever happens again. coming up on the bbc news channel. world number three simone halep is out of the french open.

the 2018 champion has torn her calf, and won't recover in time to play at roland garros at the end of the month. spain says it's ready to welcome back british tourists from monday, and they won't ask people to get a negative covid test first. spain says it's ready to welcome back british tourists from monday, and they won't ask people to get a negative covid test first. the announcement comes as the eu grapples with the question of when and how to open up to holidaymakers. many mediterranean countries are desperate to see britons return to their beaches. but borisjohnson has warned most european countries are not suitable for holidays. let's speak to our correspondent, jean mackenzie. it's still a very confused picture though, jean? it is confusing, yes, and really thatis it is confusing, yes, and really that is because we have three things going on here. we have the rules of the eu, as a whole. then we have different countries in europe making up different countries in europe making up their own different rules and of course we have the rules in the uk, and at the moment, none of these things match up. we had been expecting today the eu to add more countries on to its green list, but

they have delayed that decision for another couple of weeks because of concerns about the aren't indian variant. they want to see what happens to infections but the longer this decision is delayed, the more we are seeing countries make their own rule, particularly the countries that rely on tourism, and uk tourists, are deciding they can't wait any longer, so today we have had spain saying it is going to welcome british tourists back from monday without any restrictions, so no need to have been vaccinated and no need to have been vaccinated and no need to even show a negative pcr and portugal, greece and italy have already decided to welcome british tourists back, but as we have been saying this is only one part of the puzzle, because portugal is still the only country on the uk's green list, meaning people don't need to quarantine when hay get back to the uk, so if you go to spain you do still need the quarantine and as you can imagine countries here are desperate for the uk to expand its green list, so that travellers can start taking advantage of some of

the new rules. thank you. in the past week, there's been a huge drive to vaccinate people in bolton, as coronavirus cases linked to the indian variant continue to rise there. health officials are targeting locals who are eligible for the jab, but haven't come forward. our special correspondent, ed thomas, has been hearing from residents in the town. covid cases are surging. and in bolton, this is the epicentre. one of the most deprived parts of the town. places and people who have already suffered too much. that's my mam. that's our nana. my nan. margaret was 78 when she died. this is why i hate covid so much because it's took the person i love the most and its proper hurt me. because she had breathing difficulties, she lived a week. and once again the family's isolating, after a suspected outbreak at the nursery. my anxiety�*s been building up

and i've got more anxious about speaking to people. but we're still strong, still fighting. as cases spread, many fear a local lockdown. i feel trapped, yeah. i'm absolutely trapped, in this house. sharon has a heart condition, and suffers with anxiety. i'm frightened of going out, me. how long have you spent like this, shielding? i've been in here for months and months. it's like i've got a jail sentence and i've not done nothing. on average, the five areas with the highest levels of deprivation in bolton had more than double the number of weekly covid cases, compared to the least deprived areas. i've just had a text. "dearjack, your first covid—19 vaccination is now due." there is a race to vaccinate as many as possible. but i'm worried about what's in it, because people are having these jabs, and then they are getting side effects of covid. this jab has saved

thousands of lives. people are worried if people don't take the jab here this new variant is going to spread through. i do agree with it. i'm not against it. i'm not saying i'm not going to have it, but i do know people are against it and i know people are for it. tansey has never known a time like this. every week he comes here for a covid test. bolton's on high alert and it is ten times higher than through the borough in the whole of england. if boris put india on a red list weeks ago then i think this problem wouldn't have happened. last time when coronavirus cases were up. there is frustration too. could more have been done to protect the most vulnerable? we are being blamed for something which is totally wrong. we didn't get the vaccine site. we got the pop up sites. it is not about vaccine hesitancy. it's do with deprivation, access, provision. but there is a push like never before. 10,000 vaccinations in a week. proud of being in the nhs.

i'm proud of being part of this. because what happens here has consequences for all of us. ed thomas, bbc news, bolton. in the last hour, scotland's first minister has announced the glasgow area will stay in level three restrictions for at least another week. nicola sturgeon said despite enhanced contract tracing cases were still rising in glasgow. level two restrictions will remain in place in east renfrewshire. a police investigation is under way after dozens of people set fire to vehicles and threw rocks through windows in swansea last night. it's believed the trouble followed a vigilfor a local resident who'd recently died. the health secretary is facing questions about compensation for victims of the contaminated blood scandal. matt hancock will give evidence at a public inquiry into what's been called the worst nhs treatment disaster. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, is at the inquiry in central london.

hugh, what is the significance of this afternoon's proceedings? (0s well, kate, simply that this will be the first time a serving uk government cabinet minister has given evidence at this inquiry which started two years a ministers from the devolved governments have been appearing earlier this week, but matt hancock will speak on behalf of the uk government and the significance there is that the events in this very tragic scandal go right back to the 19705 and 805, before devolution, so ultimately it will be the uk government that has to face up to the consequences of this inquiry. the 5aga which saw tens of thousands infected after their treatment with contaminated blood products, they were infected with hiv and hepatitis c, and it is thought 3,000 have died. now, victim5 thought 3,000 have died. now, victims and their families have thought 3,000 have died. now, victims and theirfamilie5 have been receiving financial assistance, but

they say what is crucial i5 they say what is crucial is compensation. than i5 compensating for loss of earnings, a life brought short, all the consequences of being treated with these contaminated blood products and it is only recently that the government has acknowledged that compensation will have to be paid out, and some sort of net framework will have to be established to ensure that is ready to go, when the inquiry report5 its findings next year. but what familie5 findings next year. but what families and campaigners want to hearfrom matt families and campaigners want to hear from matt hancock this afternoon is a commitment to that compensation, which one minister penny more don't in charge of the government's response to this, —— mordaunt, has already said will have to be paid out, that is inevitable and will be profound, but the significance of matt hancock's appearance is what will he say on this issue of compensation, as well as the levels of financial assistance, currently available, which differ in different part aves

the uk? ., ~ ,., shoppers splashed out last month, as nonessential retail finally re—opened after the lockdown. that's according to new data on the high street from the office for national statistics. our business correspondent, emma simpson, joins us. so emma, how much did we spend? i think we did some pretty serious retail therapy last month. and of course it is no surprise, is it, given after months of lockdown, when those nonessential shops started to re—open, people hit the high street. now we have some official data, which shows that total retail sales were up just over 9% month on which shows that total retail sales were upjust over 9% month on month. that is double what was expected. it is clothing that saw the strongest sales growth up by nearly 70% compared with march. now that is good news for those hard—pressed fashion retailers on the high street

but i think what happened there is people were stocking up on new outfit, updating their wardrobe as we got ready to gout and meet friends and family again. in terms of where we are right now it shows that total retail sales are round 10% higher compared to february last year, just before the pandemic struck. so clearly there is pent up demand and of course, remember, a lot of households, especially better off wounds, compared to since the first lockdown, they have saved a lot of money. —— households. clearly some of that money is now being spent, so hopefully, adding to the signs we are going to have a decent economic recovery.— the cost of single—use plastic bags in england has gone up. from today, shoppers will have to pay ten pence per bag, double what it used to be. all stores, including smaller shops, will have to apply the charge.
