hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment withjo phillips and nigel nelson. first, the headlines. former bbcjournalist martin bashir defends his interview with princess diana in 1995 — telling the sunday times: "i never wanted to harm diana in any way and i don't believe we did." it's the first time he's spoken since an inquiry found he obtained the interview by deception. and fomer bbc director general, lord hall, resigns as chairman of the national gallery — saying continuing in the role would be a "distraction", following the inquiry into panorama's diana interview. wider surge testing has been rolled out in parts of london and the north east of england,

due to a rise in coronavirus cases linked to the indian variant. a picture emerges that appears to show princess latifa, the daughter of the ruler of dubai, who's not been seen for months. the first convoys of humanitarian aid have arrived in gaza, hours after a ceasefire between israel and palestinian militants came into effect. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejo phillips and the political editor at the people and sunday mirror, nigel nelson. lovely nigel nelson. to see you both. great that

you lovely to see you both. great that you can be with us on eurovision night. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the observer reports that ministers have pledged to intervene to restore trust in the bbc by conducting a wider—than—anticipated review of its operations next year. the sunday telegraph writes that vaccines are highly effective against the indian coronavirus variant, and that the country is back on course for a full reopening byjune 21st. the mail on sunday reports on the same new scientific study and adds that borisjohnson�*s "roadmap to freedom" is back on track. but the sunday people warns that while two doses of pfizer or astrazeneca provide strong protection, people with one dose of a vaccine are only 33% protected. the sunday times reports that dominic cummings accused borisjohnson of having pursued a secret policy of herd immunity

to combat the coronavirus that would have led to catastrophe . the mirror writes that michaeljackson�*s family demand a probe into the journalist martin bashir. so that is a little flavour of some of our front pages that he will be waking up to on sunday morning. jo and nigel, great to see you. let's crack on. we are going to start with the front page of the sunday times. jo come over to view, herd immunity. yes, this is dominic cummings, who is going to be giving evidence to mps on wednesday this coming week, which i think is hotly awaited because he really is going to stick the knife in, it seems, to his former boss and former friend the prime minister, along with

ministers, the civil service and anyone else who has got in the way. since he left downing street very abruptly before christmas last year, dominic cummings has been tweeting and blogging and really sort of firing broadsides at the government. this is what he is saying according to the sunday times, that the government has always denied there was any policy of herd immunity when we first got coronavirus on these shores. what dominic cummings are saying, actually, that was boris johnson's favoured way and, you know, goes on to talk about the incompetence, accuses matt hancock, the health secretary of incompetence, along with all sorts of other people. also talks about officials in the cabinet office who are concerned that cummings will on wednesday accused the prime minister of being away and missing several significant meetings during the

early days of coronavirus and the catastrophe that was going to hit us hard because apparently he was working on a book, i biography of shakespeare which he needed to earn money from in order to settle his divorce bill. so all of these things conspire to make wednesday not a day for the prime minister to look forward to, i would have thought. nigel, some pretty strong language, pretty emotive, isn't it, when he talks about the government doing very badly on mass testing and goes on to say that lives were needlessly lost. nigel? on to say that lives were needlessly lost- nigel?— lost. nigel? yes, and i think what cummings— lost. nigel? yes, and i think what cummings has — lost. nigel? yes, and i think what cummings has outlined _ lost. nigel? yes, and i think what cummings has outlined is - lost. nigel? yes, and i think what cummings has outlined is broadly| cummings has outlined is broadly what _ cummings has outlined is broadly what we — cummings has outlined is broadly what we all now know. there were huge _ what we all now know. there were huge mistakes made in the early stages _ huge mistakes made in the early stages of— huge mistakes made in the early stages of the pandemic that we certainly— stages of the pandemic that we certainly locked down too late, that we probably came out of a locked down _ we probably came out of a locked down too — we probably came out of a locked down too early. the same things

repeated — down too early. the same things repeated with the second and third lockdowrx — repeated with the second and third lockdown. the care homes, that people _ lockdown. the care homes, that people were being put back into care homes _ people were being put back into care homes without testing for corona. as a result, _ homes without testing for corona. as a result, the — homes without testing for corona. as a result, the disease ran rampant in care homes— a result, the disease ran rampant in care homes and probably we are talking _ care homes and probably we are talking about 20,000 deaths, many of those new— talking about 20,000 deaths, many of those new to this. but i think the most _ those new to this. but i think the most shocking revelation here is the reason _ most shocking revelation here is the reason that— most shocking revelation here is the reason that boris johnson most shocking revelation here is the reason that borisjohnson missed the cobra _ reason that borisjohnson missed the cobra meetings was because he was busy scribbling away at his biography of shakespeare, as jo just mentioned. before that, we just thought— mentioned. before that, we just thought he wasn't taking it terribly seriously, — thought he wasn't taking it terribly seriously, not that he was busy elsewhere. as for the herd immunity thing. _ elsewhere. as for the herd immunity thing. i'm _ elsewhere. as for the herd immunity thing, i'm not sure quite how secret that was— thing, i'm not sure quite how secret that was because i can remember sir patrick— that was because i can remember sir patrick vallance, the government's chief— patrick vallance, the government's chief scientific adviser, on bbc radio _ chief scientific adviser, on bbc radio 4. — chief scientific adviser, on bbc radio 4, talking about herd immunity. i rememberthinking at radio 4, talking about herd immunity. i remember thinking at the time, _ immunity. i remember thinking at the time, that— immunity. i remember thinking at the time, that sounds a bit dodgy. they obviously—

time, that sounds a bit dodgy. they obviously changed that policy pretty quickly _ obviously changed that policy pretty quickly when they were told that that could result in up to 500,000 deaths _ that could result in up to 500,000 deaths |t— that could result in up to 500,000 deaths. , , , .. , deaths. it is interesting because we are 'ust deaths. it is interesting because we are just hearing. — deaths. it is interesting because we arejust hearing, i— deaths. it is interesting because we are just hearing, i am _ deaths. it is interesting because we are just hearing, i am looking - deaths. it is interesting because we are just hearing, i am looking at - arejust hearing, i am looking at the news wires here and via the reuters news agency, i willjust read this out to you for that uk health minister mr hancock says he is increasingly confident about further easing of covid rules in june. there is a lot of confidence and also talk there about the vaccine being effective against the indian variant. it is going to be interesting to see what the government says in the build—up to this hearing on wednesday. jo? absolutely, because on the one hand, and i know we will be talking about the vaccines in a little while, but on the one hand, you have people who are desperate, including parts of the government, for everything to go back to as near—normal as possible, not least because of the damage that the lockdowns have done to the economy. but on the other hand, we

have got this indian variant. we have got this indian variant. we have still got absolute chaos at the borders and as people arrive in this country, which is another, nigel alluded to itjust now, too late to lockdown. we were too late to lockdown. we were too late to lockdown the borders and if you cannot do it on an island, i don't know quite where you can do it. so is the government going to say it is fine, everything is going to be great from june 21 while dominic cummings is sitting there, giving evidence and, you know, really being like banquo's goes, warming dill warning that boasting is what got us into this mess in the first place customer if they have any sense, they need to announce more details of the inquiry, so that all these allegations can be put into a proper circuit, if you like, and examined properly. a quick, sensible, independent inquiry because these things are going to happen again and

we know that it is only because of the fantastic effort of scientists working together and putting their professional competitiveness to one side that we have got to this stage. but we still have coronavirus rampant around the rest of the world, particularly in poorer countries. so nowhere is safe until everywhere is safe. let countries. so nowhere is safe until everywhere is safe.— countries. so nowhere is safe until everywhere is safe. let us stay with the front page _ everywhere is safe. let us stay with the front page of — everywhere is safe. let us stay with the front page of the _ everywhere is safe. let us stay with the front page of the sunday - everywhere is safe. let us stay with | the front page of the sunday times, nigel. i don't know how much of the article you have read. bashir, diana, my wife and our new baby. an interview with martin bashir. yes and i interview with martin bashir. yes and i think _ interview with martin bashir. yes and i think the _ interview with martin bashir. yes and i think the most interesting part of— and i think the most interesting part of this interview is the picture _ part of this interview is the picture that is there. what martin bashir— picture that is there. what martin bashir is — picture that is there. what martin bashir is arguing is he remained friends — bashir is arguing is he remained friends with diana after the interview and just to prove it, there — interview and just to prove it, there is— interview and just to prove it, there is a _ interview and just to prove it, there is a picture the sunday times has got _ there is a picture the sunday times has got of— there is a picture the sunday times has got of princess diana visiting

martin— has got of princess diana visiting martin bashir's wife, deborah, in hospital. — martin bashir's wife, deborah, in hospital, just after their third child — hospital, just after their third child was— hospital, just after their third child was born. i mean, i think the issue _ child was born. i mean, i think the issue here — child was born. i mean, i think the issue here really is it's not so much — issue here really is it's not so much whether or not princess diana was happy— much whether or not princess diana was happy with the interview after it took— was happy with the interview after it took place, it is obviously that the methods used to get the interview in the first place. it is those _ interview in the first place. it is those forged bank statements and so on. those forged bank statements and so on so— those forged bank statements and so on so i_ those forged bank statements and so on. so i think that this bit feels a bit like _ on. so i think that this bit feels a bit like some kind of red herring. i understand — bit like some kind of red herring. i understand that martin basheer will want to— understand that martin basheer will want to defend himself but i am not sure this _ want to defend himself but i am not sure this is — want to defend himself but i am not sure this is the way to do it. what we are _ sure this is the way to do it. what we are heading towards now is the bbc being — we are heading towards now is the bbc being looked at by the government. they may impose their own form _ government. they may impose their own form of— government. they may impose their own form of governance on the bbc, which _ own form of governance on the bbc, which i _ own form of governance on the bbc, which i think— own form of governance on the bbc, which i think would be a mistake. much— which i think would be a mistake. much better when organisations can actually— much better when organisations can actually police themselves adequately, which of course is what

happened _ adequately, which of course is what happened to newspapers after the hacking _ happened to newspapers after the hacking inquiry. we then set up the independent press standards organisation, ipso. it is very tough, — organisation, ipso. it is very tough, it— organisation, ipso. it is very tough, it works. something like that may be _ tough, it works. something like that may be what the bbc needs but the important _ may be what the bbc needs but the important thing is not to have government interference on it. that is auoin to government interference on it. that is going to be _ government interference on it. that is going to be one — government interference on it. trust is going to be one of the stories we are covering on the front of the observer. before we turn to that particular story, jo, observer. before we turn to that particularstory, jo, i observer. before we turn to that particular story, jo, i would like to get your thoughts on this article, this interview with martin bashir? i article, this interview with martin bashir? ~ , article, this interview with martin bashir? ,, , ., , bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the — bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the day _ bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the day and _ bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the day and it - bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the day and it sort - bashir? i think it is a little bit late in the day and it sort of l late in the day and it sort of wreaks of a rather sad man who doesn't seem to understand why people are so furious. we know he is apparently very sick. he has had heart surgery and he has had the

long term effects of covid, apparently. but this isn't so much about him, actually, it's about how he got into the position of getting that interview. i'm sure, you know, that interview. i'm sure, you know, that as he says, diana i hope by all accounts was a wonderful warm human being and would have sent handwritten notes praising him for his cooking. would have gone to see the new baby in hospital with martin bashir's why. it doesn't make it right what happened. it is sort of like, it was all right, she didn't mind, and i think that rings a little hollow.— mind, and i think that rings a little hollow. , , .,' . ,, ., little hollow. just off the back of that, to remind _ little hollow. just off the back of that, to remind people, - little hollow. just off the back of that, to remind people, the - little hollow. just off the back of| that, to remind people, the main findings of that dyson inquiry significant parts of bashir's account were found as incredible, unreliable and in some cases dishonest. the big news today is

that obviously we have heard that tony hall, former director—general of the bbc, has stepped down as chairman of the national gallery. going back to the points you were making, nigel, about what should happen next and the observer has we must act to tackle appalling failures at bbc, warned ministers. jo? , ., , , ., jo? the timing is ghastly for the bbc. the bbc _ jo? the timing is ghastly for the bbc. the bbc is _ jo? the timing is ghastly for the bbc. the bbc is the _ jo? the timing is ghastly for the bbc. the bbc is the target - jo? the timing is ghastly for the bbc. the bbc is the target of. jo? the timing is ghastly for the - bbc. the bbc is the target of many, many people, not least of all in government. the first thing i would say is we don't need lectures from the prime minister, who was sacked as a journalist for making up stories, on truth and trust. clearly, there has been an absolutely appalling failing. it is not so much about the interview because i think diana would have probably done an interview anyway, bearing in mind that prince charles had done an interview the previous

year with jonathan had done an interview the previous year withjonathan dimbleby, where he, charles, had confessed to his own adultery. now what i think is so chilling about what the dyson inquiry has found is that whistle—blowers, again, were not listened to. in fact, in some cases, it has cost them their livelihoods. it certainly caused deep, deep distress to several people. then there is the mystery of why it martin bashir then came back into the corporation, not only came back but was promoted to become a religion editor. i think tony hall, who as you say has resigned from the national gallery today, has done the right thing because i think a lot of this lies very firmly at his door. but i think we have to remember that the bbc is trusted around the world for its objectivity, its reporting, its high standards and yes, this is

awful, just asjimmy savile was awful, just asjimmy savile was awful but you start ministers getting involved and meddling with it, then you lose the one thing that the bbc has got above every other broadcasting organisation in the world, which is its independence. i think that is absolutely vital. irate think that is absolutely vital. we are staying with the subject, nigel but turning to the front page of the sunday telegraph stop the headline here is the bbc�*s one lapse from bringing the whole house down. yes. bringing the whole house down. yes, cominu bringing the whole house down. yes, coming from — bringing the whole house down. yes, coming from lord _ bringing the whole house down. yes, coming from lord grave, a previous director—general. what he is saying, basically— director—general. what he is saying, basically he — director—general. what he is saying, basically he is saying what in fact the press — basically he is saying what in fact the press were told some years ago, the press were told some years ago, the bbc_ the press were told some years ago, the bbc is _ the press were told some years ago, the bbc is drinking in the last chance — the bbc is drinking in the last chance saloon and if they get it wrong — chance saloon and if they get it wrong again, there will be real trouble — wrong again, there will be real trouble. what he wants is a separate content _ trouble. what he wants is a separate content board to basically police bbcjournalism. whether that is the

answer— bbcjournalism. whether that is the answer or— bbcjournalism. whether that is the answer or not, i think something like it. _ answer or not, i think something like it, provided it is actually run by the _ like it, provided it is actually run by the bbc— like it, provided it is actually run by the bbc and not under some kind of statutory control, which is obviously _ of statutory control, which is obviously what ministers will go for, would be much better. again, i io for, would be much better. again, i go back— for, would be much better. again, i go back to — for, would be much better. again, i go back to the levenson inquiry, that it _ go back to the levenson inquiry, that it is — go back to the levenson inquiry, that it is quite likely that the new press— that it is quite likely that the new press complaints commission, which was obviously abolished during that, it was— was obviously abolished during that, it was quite likely that whatever the government came up with would not be _ the government came up with would not be dissimilar to the one we already— not be dissimilar to the one we already have. but what they wanted to do _ already have. but what they wanted to do was _ already have. but what they wanted to do was underpin it by statute, in other— to do was underpin it by statute, in other words. — to do was underpin it by statute, in other words, the law would start interfering. if you are going to have _ interfering. if you are going to have free _ interfering. if you are going to have free expression in this country. _ have free expression in this country, whether it is the bbc, whether— country, whether it is the bbc, whether it _ country, whether it is the bbc, whether it is newspapers, it is essential— whether it is newspapers, it is essential there is no government control— essential there is no government control on— essential there is no government control on that. 0k. _ control on that. 0k, let control on that. ok, let us turn to our next paper, next story. a change of gear here,

the sunday people. i know it is your paper, nigel. vaccines do work on variants is your headline. yes indeed. some _ variants is your headline. yes indeed. some really - variants is your headline. yes indeed. some really good news about the indian _ indeed. some really good news about the indian variant. this comes from public— the indian variant. this comes from public health england, who have now done some _ public health england, who have now done some proper research into the efficacy— done some proper research into the efficacy of— done some proper research into the efficacy of the vaccine and it has found _ efficacy of the vaccine and it has found that — efficacy of the vaccine and it has found that after two doses, the visor— found that after two doses, the visor vaccine will give you 88% protection. that compares with 93% against _ protection. that compares with 93% against the — protection. that compares with 93% against the kent variant. and the way it's— against the kent variant. and the way it's being billed on a number of papers _ way it's being billed on a number of papers is _ way it's being billed on a number of papers is this actually means. head forward _ papers is this actually means. head forward june 21. i think one of the figures _ forward june 21. i think one of the figures the — forward june 21. i think one of the figures the sunday people is mentioning, which is significant before — mentioning, which is significant before we — mentioning, which is significant before we go hooray too quickly is that on— before we go hooray too quickly is that on one — before we go hooray too quickly is that on one dose, you are talking about— that on one dose, you are talking about 33% — that on one dose, you are talking about 33% protection. so there is still a _

about 33% protection. so there is still a huge — about 33% protection. so there is still a huge gap and it does mean we've _ still a huge gap and it does mean we've got— still a huge gap and it does mean we've got to actually consider whether— we've got to actually consider whether or not to lift all restrictions on the 21st ofjune, whether— restrictions on the 21st ofjune, whether that is actually appropriate or whether we must think of postponing that until possibly september. eitherway, it seems postponing that until possibly september. either way, it seems to me that _ september. either way, it seems to me that you — september. either way, it seems to me that you need the vast majority, if not _ me that you need the vast majority, if not all— me that you need the vast majority, if not all the — me that you need the vast majority, if not all the population, to have had two — if not all the population, to have had two doses of the vaccine before you start _ had two doses of the vaccine before you start thinking about easing up any further. and especially for foreign — any further. and especially for foreign holidays. i still think it is madness we are allowing people to id is madness we are allowing people to go on _ is madness we are allowing people to go on foreign holidays at the moment _ go on foreign holidays at the moment. , ., go on foreign holidays at the moment-— go on foreign holidays at the moment. , ., ., ,, , y., , .,, go on foreign holidays at the moment. .,~ , , ., moment. jo, it makes you stop and think, as moment. jo, it makes you stop and think. as young _ moment. jo, it makes you stop and think, as young people _ moment. jo, it makes you stop and think, as young people are - think, as young people are encouraged to come forward and they are perhaps offered the single dose, what the data will look like then, the single jab?— the single “ab? exactly and as as niel the single jab? exactly and as as nigel says. _ the single jab? exactly and as as nigel says. is — the single jab? exactly and as as nigel says, is quite _ the single jab? exactly and as as nigel says, is quite a _ the single jab? exactly and as as nigel says, is quite a startling i nigel says, is quite a startling difference between the one jab or

two jabs. i'm imagining that scientists are desperately looking at the data. this research was based on work with 1000 people who had contracted the indian variant so, you know, that is good because they are actually using the real variant which is the problem at the moment. i suppose there are possibilities that they could narrow the gap between the two jabs. at the moment, it is 12 weeks and then it came down to eight weeks. but i do think we still have a lot of people who haven't been vaccinated. i thereby they are not old enough or eligible but also a lot of people, as we have seenin but also a lot of people, as we have seen in the last couple of weeks, people who were eligible but didn't go and get the vaccine. so there has to be, in line with any lockdown on june 21 or any easing of lockdown, there has to be a huge drive to get those numbers up of people who have had at least one dose and monitor

it. i mean, are we monitoring effectively any impact on people who might have one dose but then contract the indian variant? because thatis contract the indian variant? because that is what we don't know at the moment. 0k, moment. ok, front page of the independent now. inside the devastation of gaza, humanitarian aid has now started to enter the strip, nigel? bill humanitarian aid has now started to enter the strip, nigel?— enter the strip, nigel? all we can ho -e is enter the strip, nigel? all we can hope is the _ enter the strip, nigel? all we can hope is the ceasefire _ enter the strip, nigel? all we can hope is the ceasefire actually - hope is the ceasefire actually holds~ — hope is the ceasefire actually holds. we are getting is the independent comes up with the devastating human stories and human tragedies _ devastating human stories and human tragedies that are coming out of this latest conflict. now, it is looking — this latest conflict. now, it is looking like the people in israel are certainly not terribly confident the ceasefire will hold. that one side or— the ceasefire will hold. that one side or the — the ceasefire will hold. that one side or the other will start shooting off again and we will be back in— shooting off again and we will be back in the same boat. but it is all you can _ back in the same boat. but it is all you can hope for. i think that the problem — you can hope for. i think that the problem all the way through is whether— problem all the way through is whether or not israel has a right to

defend _ whether or not israel has a right to defend itself, of course it does. the problem is, was that defence proportionate? looking at the pictures— proportionate? looking at the pictures coming out of gaza, it would — pictures coming out of gaza, it would suggest not. i don't underestimate the difficulty israel has. whenever you go there, it's rather— has. whenever you go there, it's rather like — has. whenever you go there, it's rather like being on a housing estate — rather like being on a housing estate where all your neighbours want _ estate where all your neighbours want to — estate where all your neighbours want to throw bricks through your window — want to throw bricks through your window. israel itself is always... always _ window. israel itself is always... always feels it's on the brink of some _ always feels it's on the brink of some catastrophe. so you could understand their reaction but it is a question— understand their reaction but it is a question of proportionality. jo, our a question of proportionality. jrr, your thoughts on this? a question of proportionality. jo, your thoughts on this? well, - a question of proportionality. jo, | your thoughts on this? well, yes, proportionality. — your thoughts on this? well, yes, proportionality, the _ your thoughts on this? well, yes, proportionality, the number- your thoughts on this? well, yes, proportionality, the number of. proportionality, the number of children killed in gaza, absolutely massive. this picture is of a 17—year—old young man. he was the only member of his family to survive an airstrike. his only member of his family to survive an air strike. his father was apparently a leading doctor. it's... of course, it's the human toll but

it's also the devastation of gaza, which is a hell on earth sort of place. people live there, children grow up there, there is no freedom of movement. the supplies are limited. access to health care, access to all sorts of things that we will take for granted are so limited and the devastation that is being caused by the israeli air strikes in the last few weeks means it will take years to rebuild what little they have. as nigel says, we can only hope that this ceasefire holds. but actually, we really need to get to some sort of sensible solution. i'm afraid that all the time benjamin netting i is in power and he is only clinging to power at the moment, i don't think things are going to change very much. —— benjamin netanyahu. the going to change very much. -- benjamin netanyahu.— going to change very much. -- benjamin netanyahu. ben'amin netanyahu. the un calling for benjamin netanyahu. the un calling for more aid — benjamin netanyahu. the un calling

the satellite picture, you can see this swirl across the atlantic, another big low pressure and the weather front�*s already approaching ireland. you can see the low pressure here, rather autumnal looking and that will be sweeping across us over the next couple of days. it's pushed by a strong jet stream, you can see it here at 30,000 feet. the forecast for the early hours shows the rain pushing into ireland but many parts of the uk are clear and calm. in fact, we're expecting a touch of frost in the glens of scotland and even cities further south and birmingham, about three degrees in the morning. the forecast, from the morning onwards that weather front sweeps into western part of the uk, gale force winds develop around western coasts and for a time, an hour or two, the rain really could be quite heavy, particularly around south—western england, wales and also the south west of scotland. notice that at this stage, from norwich all the way to aberdeen, the weather is dry and the rain may not reach you until a lot later on in the day and probably during the evening hours.

then out towards the west, the weather should calm down. here's monday's weather map, a low pressure sitting on top of the uk and, typically, when we're in the centre of the low pressure, we get big shower clouds, so it's a day of storm clouds building, perhaps thunder and lightning across some parts of wales and england. perhaps a little bit of sunshine across the north of england. however, northern and eastern scotland likely to be quite wet on monday, as this weather front wraps around into the centre of this low pressure. here's tuesday's weather forecast — the low pressure is moving towards the east butjust in the wake of it, further showers are expected from scotland and also along the eastern side of the country. out towards the west, the weather should start to improve. all in all, the rest of the weekend and into next week, looking fairly unsettled. but here's the good news — as we head towards the end of the week ahead, there are signs that the weather finally will be settling down. something to look forward to.
