this is bbc news. the headlines at 7pm. in the wake of the damning report into the bbc�*s panorama interview with princess diana, it's business as usual today — but the prime minister speaks of his sympathy after prince william voiced anger at the way his mother was deceived. i hope very much that the bbc will be taking every possible step to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. it comes as prince harry talks about the impact his mother's death had on his behaviour in later life. i wasn't drinking monday — friday, but i _ i wasn't drinking monday — friday, but i would — i wasn't drinking monday — friday, but i would probably drink weeks worth_ but i would probably drink weeks worth in— but i would probably drink weeks worth in one day on a friday or saturday— worth in one day on a friday or saturday night. spain says buddhist

a scathing attack on the bbc saying it had let his mother, family and the public down. today borisjohnson said he hoped the bbc would take steps to ensure that nothing like that every happened again. here's our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. failed by a rogue reporter and the leaders of a national institution, the bbc. prince william was getting on with royal duties today while his excoriation of the bbc ran through the corporation's corridors. the fact is that pretty much from the moment the panorama interview with his mother was screened in november 1995, william, who was then aged 13, has suspected that his mother was deceived into doing it by the panorama reporter martin bashir. the choice and intensity of william's words last night was devastating. 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. ——relationship worse and has since hurt countless others. it brings indescribable sadness to note that the bbc�*s failures contributed significantly to herfear, paranoia and isolation that i remember from those final years with her. the bbc is facing tough questions. this was the prime minister on a visit to the hms queen elizabeth. well, i am obviously concerned by the findings of lord dyson's report, i am very grateful for him for all he has done. 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. eton college, the 6th of september, 1995, 12 days before diana had her first meeting with martin bashir at which he produced bogus documents

and made far—fetched claims. before that meeting, the family unit was still functioning. according to william last night, the panorama interview caused a sharp deterioration in his parents�* relationship. this is how the troubled decade of the 1990s unfolded for charles and diana. injune 1992, the book, diana her true story had been published. it later emerged diana had cooperated closely with the author. in december, 1992, it was announced the couple were to separate. injune1994, prince charles gave an interview to itv in which he admitted to adultery. by mid—1995, diana was actively considering doing an interview for the bbc�*s panorama programme. it was in november, 1995, that martin bashir, after weeks of secret contact with diana, conducted the interview. a few weeks later, in december 1995,

the queen gave permission for the couple to seek a divorce. in august 1997, diana died in a car crash in paris. in his written statement last night, prince harry said the media's culture of what he called "exploitation and unethical practices" had ultimately killed his mother. he continues to be very open about his struggle with mental health issues, a struggle triggered by the events of the 90s. in a new series of documentaries for american tv, he describes the effect it had on him. i wanted to drink, i was wanting to take drugs, i wanted to 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.

at the time, it was hailed as the scoop of the decade. more than 25 years later, we finally know the truth, about an unscrupulous reporter and at times vulnerable woman and the heart that is still very real. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the metropolitan police have said they will look again at the contents of lord dyson's report, "to ensure there is no significant new evidence", after previously deciding not to begin a criminal investigation. for its part, the bbc said it had made fundamental changes in governance since the 1990s. here's our home editor mark easton. this is a crisis that goes to the heart of the bbc�*s dna, the values of integrity and fairness that underpin its reputation around the world. the deceit may go back a quarter of a century, but there are unanswered questions that carry huge jeopardy for the corporation today. does the scandal show the bbc covering up its failings and mistreating innocent whistle—blowers? the graphic designer who was commissioned

by martin bashir to create mocked—up bank statements has long claimed he was made the scapegoat for the scandal. i would like to speak to tim davies, the now director general, in person, exactly about that. why to this day it looks like the important people are being covered up. panorama staff also tried to blow the whistle on martin bashir�*s unethical behavior, fearing it threatened the reputation of bbcjournalism. one producer says raising the matter cost him hisjob. 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 hours of doing that, that effectively i would no longer be part of the programme. i had been disloyal. that's what happened to whistleblowers at that time at the bbc. there's also the question of why the bbc rehired martin bashir in 2016 as religious affairs correspondent. james harding was the director of bbc news at the time and says he takes full responsibility for the mistaken decision to reemploy him.

did you know that he had forged bank statements? to answer your question, i didn't know, and in fact, if i had known, of course, he wouldn't have got the job. i can't help feeling that the fact that he was hired back in 2016 has made things more difficult for everyone. so i am sorry that he was. the bbc says it rehired martin bashir after a "competitive interview process". we now of course have the dyson report, we didn't have it then, a statement says. what we do know is that in 2017, the then director general, tony hall, promoted martin bashir to religion editor, even though he knew all about the fake documents. i want to ensure that when we do make mistakes, they are caused by trying to serve our viewers, not by looking after ourselves. that was lord hall on becoming d6 in 2013, preempting the most troubling question of all about this scandal, does the bbc need oversight to ensure corporate reputation doesn't come ahead of journalistic values?

hello, i'm from the bbc. can we ask some questions about the dyson report, please? 0ne former bbc executive connected to the scandal did not come to her door today, another has quit his post on the board of the broadcast regulator, 0ffcom. the government says the bashir�*s scandal is so serious, it may require a look at how the bbc administers itself. the government does have a responsibility to look very carefully to see whether the governance of the bbc does need reform in the light of these devastating findings. the bbc values say this, "trust is the foundation of the bbc. we are independent, impartial and honest. without that trust, the corporation knows it's doomed." mark easton, bbc news. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are susie boniface— columnist at the daily mirror — and martin bentham, home affairs

editor at the evening standard. spain has said it is officially lifting restrictions for some foreign tourists from monday. the spanish government says the uk and japan will be on a list of countries whose residents are able to avoid restrictions on non—essential travel to the eu. they will not need a pcr test. fully vaccinated tourists from all countries can to talk about this is lisa minot, the travel editor at the sun. lisa joins us now. lisa, good to see you. just how appealing will a country be that welcomes you, but on their return home, you have still got to undergo all of those tests and quarantine. well, that's right. that's it, isn't it? even if they are not requiring us to get into spain, we stopped to quarantine for ten days on return and take three tests to get back into the country, one to get back in, and when i'm day two and eight. that's going to be a significant amount of money for people, and a

thing it's really only going to be the likes of second homeowners, people visiting family and friends that are going to be wanting to do it, or people who are going to stay for a long period of time. you are not going to take a weekend break in spain, as appealing as it is with all of those tests and the cost involved. , ., ,., , , involved. there is also the issue that peeple _ involved. there is also the issue that peeple are _ involved. there is also the issue that people are put _ involved. there is also the issue that people are put off - involved. there is also the issue that people are put off holidaysl involved. there is also the issue i that people are put off holidays for maybe even two years ago, haven't they, that they bumped back in 2019, perhaps all stop there's a point at which they do want to take a break, but, also, can they cancel and get money back? it but, also, can they cancel and get money back?— but, also, can they cancel and get mone back? , ., . money back? if they booked a package holida , we money back? if they booked a package holiday. we know _ money back? if they booked a package holiday, we know that _ money back? if they booked a package holiday, we know that the _ money back? if they booked a package holiday, we know that the package - holiday, we know that the package tour operators, they are basically saying that at the moment, it is on the advice on the travel list, and because of that's that will actually trigger a cancellation of the holiday. we have already seen jet two, the second largest to operator cancel all of their holidays up untiljune the 24th. at the moment, the biggest tour operator is cancelling up tojune the 6th, and

they will be looking at that red list, green list, amber list when it is updated toward the end of may, beginning ofjune, and of spain isn't added then, they will then start to cancel holidays to spain that people of book from last year. how much more expensive are these tests in this country compared with mainland europe? because i can heard that they can be wildly different. there are huge differences in the amount of money you can pay. airports in india, before the current crisis that they are currently having at the moment, you could get a pcr test for £6. in europe, it's about a0 euros, even less than that in some places, and yet, here in the uk, with the exception of the heavily discounted packages a few book one of their holidays, most of the testing providers are around £6. now, that is going to be a large amount of money if you are trying to take a family away on holiday. it certainly is, family away on holiday. it certainly is. another —

"we sacrificed everything we had forjerusalem," he is saying. "i am ready to sacrifice my son and my wife and myself forjerusalem."

and injerusalem, palestinians were up all night too. israel says the city is the eternal capital of thejewish people and it will not be divided again. two million palestinians live in gaza, a thin strip of land along the mediterranean, slightly smaller in square miles than the isle of wight. at first light it was time to ask whether the suffering had been worth it. men from the armed wing of hamas, the izz ad—din al-qassam brigades, had no doubts. they paraded in one of gaza's towns, to bury nine men from their unit. they were killed in a strike on a tunnel on the fourth day of bombing. hamas thought the tunnels were safe. locating and hitting them from the air was a significant achievement for israel. thousands came to

honour the dead men. here in gaza, as well as in israel, there is no sense that the ceasefire is an end to their fight. the bodies could only be recovered after the ceasefire. they are digging for others. hamas are telling palestinians that they fought not just for gaza but for palestinian rights injerusalem. this is a huge demonstration of support for the armed wing of hamas, and they are sending a message as well that despite the hammering they have taken from the israelis, that they are still here, they are still ready to fight, and they are talking as well aboutjerusalem. that has been the theme of much of the chanting here. and injerusalem palestinian worshippers fought israeli police in the courtyard of the al—aqsa mosque, the most holy site for muslims after mecca and medina. nowhere in the world is more

contested, more charged with national as well as religious significance as this place. the mosque was built on the site of thejewish temple. jerusalem was where the crisis that led to 11 days of war boiled over and where it might happen again. in gaza, hamas have claimed victory, as israel did as well. the only certainty is that without political change and diplomatic progress they will fight again. jeremy bowen, bbc news, gaza. 0ur correspondent laura trevelyan is injerusalem. laura, what is the situation right now? ~ a laura, what is the situation right now? ~ ~. ., , laura, what is the situation right now? ~ ~. ., _ , laura, what is the situation right now? ~ , now? well, martin, as jeremy was sa in: now? well, martin, as jeremy was saying there _ now? well, martin, as jeremy was saying there in _ now? well, martin, as jeremy was saying there in his _ now? well, martin, as jeremy was saying there in his report, - now? well, martin, as jeremy was saying there in his report, there i saying there in his report, there were clashes at the mosque compound earlier today. that's, by the way, two weeks ago, is where the current

conflict that ended with a cease—fire today, it's where it was sparked because palestinians there at the mosque site felt that the israeli policing of their protest was too aggressive. today, there were more protests, so it alljust goes to show that even though we have a cease—fire, almost a day—old, it feels very fragile and very precarious because the underlying causes here have not yet been addressed, even though that is something the egyptian mediators who brought about the cease—fire say they are going to do separately as they are going to do separately as they talk to israel and hamas with different mediation teams. this time we have seen — different mediation teams. this time we have seen not _ different mediation teams. this time we have seen notjust _ different mediation teams. this time | we have seen notjust bombardments from both sides, but also clashes between civilians. how might those continued clashes upset the cease—fire? continued clashes upset the cease-fire?— continued clashes upset the cease-fire? ~ ,, ., �*, cease-fire? well, i think that's what's been — cease-fire? well, i think that's what's been different - cease-fire? well, i think that's what's been different about. cease-fire? well, i think that's| what's been different about this conflict, as you point out. that is what has been unsettling, certainly for many people who live here in jerusalem which is a mixed city. they are used to actual conflict

being confined to the gaza strip and not spelling out into israel itself. so, what you have now is this sense that there is mistrust between arabs and dues in the state of israel itself, and that is really arabs who make up 20% of the population feel very often that they are second—class citizens, they feel common cause with the palestinians in gaza, they feel angry about what's happening in the west bank with the settlements there. so this is potentially a highly combustible mix for the future.— mix for the future. laura, for the moment. — mix for the future. laura, for the moment, thank— mix for the future. laura, for the moment, thank you _ mix for the future. laura, for the moment, thank you very - mix for the future. laura, for the moment, thank you very much. i mix for the future. laura, for the - moment, thank you very much. large rebellion injerusalem. just a quick reminder that we will be presenting —— at half past seven it's dateline london, but first a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzie greenwood. the first time i have had the opportunity to present that. so i look forward to welcoming our guests

in a little while. david shipman from our science editor, will be joining us. that is in the studio for the first time in quite some time. i'mjust for the first time in quite some time. i'm just stalling, for the first time in quite some time. i'mjust stalling, because, there we go, i can tell you about scotland now. it'sjust best there we go, i can tell you about scotland now. it's just best to be honest, isn't it? particularly this week. glasgow is to remain under level three covid restrictions for at least a further week amid concern for rising number of cases. scotland's first minister, nicholas turgeon did decide to ease restrictions as the situation has improved. she also urged people not to travel to bedford, blackburn, to avoid contracting the indian variance. the latest coronavirus figures show there were 2829 new coronavirus infections recorded in the latest 20 bar period, nine deaths were reported. the total number of deaths across the uk is now 120 7000, 710. , the latest

daily number of people admitted to hospital is 685. that's the number of patients in hospital, turning now to the vaccination programme. more than 37 and a half million people have now had their first covid jab, but is more than 70% of the population. more than 21.6 million people have had both doses, meaning more than a0% of the population is now fully vaccinated. my apologies for the cognitive dissonance that you have perhaps experienced during those graphics. now, police say that writers who smash windows and such cars on fire in swansea last night will face robust action. the trouble started following a vigil for a local resident who had recently died. seven police officers suffered minor injuries after missiles were

thrown. emily spoke of being trapped in their homes during the violence. the first minister of wales says the scenes were completely unacceptable. time for date lane london at half past seven, but first, around up sports. thank you very much. we're going to start with golf where phil mickelson is looking to win his first major title since 2013 and leads on day two the us pga championship. he's in the clubhouse with a one—shot lead after scoring five birdies on the front nine of the difficult kiawah island course, but bogies on the 17th and 18th took the shine off slightly. if he can hold out and win the tournament, he'll become the oldest major winner of all time at the age of 50. so here's the latest leaderboard from south carolina. mickelson at the top there on five under, a shot ahead of scotland's martin laird who's just started his second round and has already hit a birdie, and norway's viktor hovland. ian poulter had a productive second round but fell away at the end, he's on one under, tied in 16th.

and rory mcilroy tees off later this evening, but has work to do after a first round of three over par. now, after four seasons at molineux, wolves have announced that manager nuno espirito santo will leave at the end of the season. he guided wolves to promotion to the premier league in his first year in charge and has gone on to establish the team in the english top—flight. his last match will be on sunday against manchester united. the bbc understands that there's no other club involved in his decision to leave. manchester united look like they'll be without harry maguire for their europa league final against villereal next week. manager 0le gunnar solskjaer said he doesn't expect maguire to be fit, although he hasn't given up all hope yet. the england defender suffered an ankle ligament injury earlier this month. solskjaer says he'll travel with the squad to gdansk either way. there was hope he might be able to play in the game, after he was seen without crutches at the premiere of a new film

about sir alex ferguson last night — and talking of ferguson — he said he thinks united's star quality might make the difference in the final. (tx sor) i think ithinka i think a decent theme, i thought they played well, but saying that they played well, but saying that the boys have played well, they win as a team, that's a good thing, hernandez, they are winners. these boiling games for you. i think going into the final, you've got that kind of support system on your team, it gives you a chance. well, the blue half of manchester are looking for european success of their own next week. fresh from winning his third premier league title with manchester city, pep guardiola's eyes are now firmly, on the champions league final. city face chelsea in porto next saturday, and he's aiming to add the only trophy that's missing from his collection, since arriving in manchester. he's been speaking to dan walker

for the bbc�*s football focus. for us to be in the finaljenkins league, we have never been there before, the semi finals, never once been a semi finalist. , but for sure we want to win, the best way to do thatis we want to win, the best way to do that is to be ready for the game. still you have to play. but it's a dream come true again, so, yeah, for this club, never been before, going to the final champions league is the dream. so hopefully we can do it perfectly. dream. so hopefully we can do it erfectl . , ., ,, , ., perfectly. some breaking news from the eur0pean _ perfectly. some breaking news from the european aquatics _ perfectly. some breaking news from l the european aquatics championships. written's kathleen howson will have to swim again. she thought she won gold in the 100 metres backstroke in budapest, but a broken speaker meant that louise hansen of sweden failed to start. they will swim again and around 20 minutes' time. she has kept her gold medal after winning the 200 metres breaststroke ahead of lisa marnie. britain also won gold in the women's 200 metre freestyle

relay. cycling, no change. italy's giacomo nizzolo sprinted to victory on stage thirteen, a 123 mile flat ride from ravenna to verona. colombian egan bernal leads by a5 seconds. british riders hugh carthy and simon yates are still more than a minute behind in fourth and fifth place. that is all the sport. time for the weather. good evening. it's been cool, it's been pretty wet and unusually windy — for this time of year, that is — with large waves around, and it's because we've got this deep area of low pressure. it's actually given about two thirds of the monthly rainfall in some areas in the space of 36 hours, and it's given some large gusts of wind. most of these are around coastlines over the hills, but even inland, we've had 50—mph gusts of wind, which is a land gale, and as i say, at this time of year, it's pretty unusual. through the night, more wet and windy weather to come.

we're changing our wind direction gradually to the north, pushing this rain out of the way, so where it starts to clear in the northwest, it will be a chilly night. some frost potentially across scotland, but there'll still be for eastern scotland, for england and wales, a lot of cloud around first thing on saturday, but it'll be a gradually brightening picture. but there'll be some showers around as well, and then come sunday, we've got another weather front coming in off the atlantic to bring more rain. so, this is how saturday's shaping up. still strong winds initially coming down from the north, pushing our rain out of the way, allowing brighter skies, the promise of more sunshine, but a scattering of showers as well. given the strength of the may sunshine, those showers could well turn heavy and thundery into the afternoon. and despite some sunshine, we're only looking at 12 to possibly 1a or 15 further south, so disappointingly low for this time of year because we've got, once again, arctic air, which tends to get cut off, then, as we go through tomorrow night and the showers fade away. actually, with a window of drier weather by night, it's looking quite chilly by the time we get to sunday morning.

temperatures close to freezing more widely in the north, but already for northern ireland, the next area of rain is starting to wind its way in. so, sunday looks as if it might well start chilly but bright in eastern areas and probably hold onto that drier, brighter weather in the northeast of scotland. but there'll be some showers thrown ahead of this main band of rain and heavy showers following on behind. we could have three or four hours of quite heavy rain once again, so temperatures won't be any great shapes — 12—1a potentially. because of all that cloud, a brisk breeze and that rain. once that clears out of the way, the low pressure hangs around, really, for monday, tuesday, wednesday. lots of showers potentially, but there's just a hint as we approach the end of next week that we could see a ridge of high pressure coming in to bring some more settled weather. but that's a long way off from now — please stay tuned to the forecast. bye— bye.

hello, i'm martine croxall. welcome to dateline london. my first time hosting the programme, which is very exciting! hold onto your hats. this week, we discuss the success and failures of the worldwide vaccination programmes against covid—19, and the conflict between israel and hamas. our guests are the french journalist agnes poirier of the magazine, l'express, the american journalist and broadcasterjef mcallister. and with me, suitably distanced in the studio, the bbc�*s science editor, david shukman. welcome to you all. david, yourfirst time back
