yes, i think your word, suprised, is about right. i think if you had googled martin basheer in 2016 you would find plenty of things to worry you from the original suspicions about the panorama interview to the babes in the wood case to the comments he made while he was in america and also the bbc had on file somewhere a very strong letter for my former colleague peter horrocks about his behaviour at itv in i think about 1999 2000 so there was plenty to worry the bbc and the appointment should not have been made. i agree with tim davie, it was a big mistake. the only defence is the full horror of what he did around the time of the diana interview was only uncovered by lord dyson so it is true that we did not know the full scale ofjust how awful his behaviour had been 25 years ago. of course, another former itn executive has pointed out that there was a report by tim garden which wasn t
involved in that, and tim and i have spoken about that quite openly. it is sort of confidential, but we very much both just want to move on. matthias wiessler there, feeling much happier at the end of this. of course, this isn t the end of the matter. there is another report due out in the next few days looking at why the bbc re employed martin basheer in 2016. martin bashir. a date has been set for the president biden s visit to buckingham palace to see the queen. the meeting will take place on the 13th ofjune, after his visit to cornwall for the g7 leaders conference on climate change. the trip will be president biden s first visit abroad since he became president in january. now it s time for a look at the weather with ben. hello. after the high temperatures of the last few days, today is a little bit cooler for many of us. we stick with that slightly cooler feel for the next few days, though it
incredible. after the break, the washington post sally quinn, known in part for fabulous georgetown parties. why she no longer carries about the dc social scene of doing wha, not what s easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that s how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin s family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that s what s right. usaa. what you re made of, we re made for. usaa
william and prince harry. it brings sadness that bbc s failure contributed to fear, paranoia and isolation that i remember from the final years with her. howie: talk about her mother s death in the paparazzi chase 2 years later. william also said this was not just a rogue reporter but leaders to have bbc, but martin basheer told he was wrong if forge the bank statements, but he s deeply sorry to the sons for but he loved princess diana and he actually defended the interview. jonathan: sure, martin basheer would say that, wouldn t he? on the other hand, i would say perhaps it s a little bit of a stretch as some people have done to blame martin basheer for bringing about the events that led to diann ample s tragic death.
jonathan hunt, fox news correspondent, how serious are the journalistic sheer and why did it take so bloody long to uncover the misconduct? jonathan: very good questions, howie. first to seriousness of breaches. it s hard to find serious breach of ethics than faking documents to try to persuade the subject of an interview to grant you that interview. martin basheer s behavior was utley, completely despicable and let s not forget he build a career off of this. he went from the bbc to abc s nightline to msnbc and fired from msnbc for equally despicable comments he made regarding sarah palin. he s just a terrible human. howie: okay, i m glad that you are telling us what you really think. this has sparked all global reaction including prince
