in the 1990s when he was head of bbc news he conducted an investigation to find out if martin bashirtements to land the princess diana interview, and it concluded he had. so today we have a conservative mp and head of the commons media select committee which scrutinises the bbc saying he has written to the current director—general to ask how on earth it was that martin bashir came to be rehired and what were the processes in place. those two gentlemen are expected to meet in private next week to discuss this. for his part, the current director—general says he is shocked by the report but confident there is a stronger governance and processes in place with the bbc to prevent anything like this happening again. greg, thank you. the first convoys of humanitarian aid have arrived in gaza, hours after a ceasefire between israel and palestinian militants came into effect. the focus has turned to rebuilding the devastated territory a day after a ceasefire took hold. more than 250 people were killed in the 11—day conflict, most of them in gaza. the us president, joe biden, has said that he w

bashir lord dyson's report found the bbc covered up "deceitful behaviour" used by bashir to secure thebbc board accepted the findings in full and reiterated its apology. a culture minister told mps that the revelations over how bashir faked documents to get in front of the royal and the cover up afterwards had made for "shocking reading". details notjust an appalling failure to uphold basic journalistic standards but also an unwillingness to investigate complaints and to discover the truth. at these failures occurred at our national broadcaster is an even greater source of shame. the new leadership of the bbc deserves credit for setting up an independent inquiry and for accepting it findings in full. however, the repetition of the bbc, its most precious asset has been bled the tarnished and it's right that the bbc board must act urgently so that our trust can be restored. the chair of the culture committee said the problems didn't stop 25 years ago... the bbc rehired him who they know was a liar, promoted him and extraordinarily allowed him to moonlight for the main commercial rival. m

, who worked with bashir, the man who apparently knew the deceitful behavior by martin bashir, he resignedstepped back as the chairman of the national gallery. of course perhaps in a delicate situation for tony hall given that prince charles is patron of the national gallery. in a statement, he did say that he did apologize once again for what he did those years ago, but this goes very much to the heart of the crisis, the heart of bbc, which is really honesty and transparency, but still so many questions need to be answered, in particular why was martin bashir hired after this interview was concluded and also who knew within the bbc and why did they cover it up. robyn. >> thank you for that update there. >>> you're watching cnn. we'll be right back. wet dishes? residue? spots? it's not your dishwasher's fault. simply add finish jetdry 3in1 to rinse, dry and shine your dishes. solve 3 problems at once with finish jetdry 3in1. >>> so china's mars rover has set foot on the red planet. the rover will be there for three months patrolling and exploring as part of its mission. michael holmes has

mr bashir, who recently resigned from the bbc on health grounds, has now told the sunday times he isnces william and harry, but he rejected the duke of cambridge's claim that he fuelled diana's paranoia. i never wanted to harm diana in any way, and i don't believe we did, he said. i don't feel i can be held responsible for many of the other things that were going on in her life and the complex issues surrounding those decisions. tony hall, mr bashir�*s bbc boss at the time of the 1995 interview, led an internal enquiry soon afterwards which found the journalist to be honest and honourable, but the dyson report said this enquiry was "woefully ineffective". as a result, lord hall, who left the bbc as director—general in 2020, has now stepped down as the chairman of the national gallery. in a statement, he said... i've always had a strong sense of public service and it's clear my continuing in the role would be a distraction to an institution i care deeply about. as i said two days ago, he went on, i am very sorry for the events of 25 years ago and i believe leadership means taking resp
