Secretarys unsanctioned meetings with israeli politicians. A formal apology from the first minister of scotland to gay men, convicted under legislation which made homosexuality illegal. And we speak to the first black editor of vogue about race and using young models on the catwalk. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news. Andy murray says he hopes to be fit again for the new year, but crowds in glasgow have got a sneak peek of his progress. Good evening. Tonight, more questions about how the royal family invest their millions. The latest revelations from the Paradise Papers the cache of leaked documents about tax havens show that Prince Charles private estate the duchy of cornwall secretly invested in an offshore company in which a close friend was a director. Thats perfectly legal, but hes been accused of a conflict of interest because he went on to campaign for International Rule changes that would have benefited the company. The princes spokesman insists hes never chosen to speak out on a topic simply because of an investment decision. The Paradise Papers were shared with the International Consortium of investigativejournalists including the bbcs panorama programme. Richard bilton has this report. For years, Prince Charles has campaigned on environmental issues. This week, hes in malaysia, and yesterday, he spent time in the rainforests of borneo. But panorama has discovered he campaigned on one issue that he secretly stood to profit from. The Paradise Papers show the prince of wales private estate, the duchy of cornwall, had 4 million in the tax havens of the Cayman Islands and bermuda. This document shows 1 million in an offshore fund. Their annual report says the prince is actively involved in running the duchy. The governance of the duchy of cornwall allows the prince of wales to have a hands on involvement. So you can really see his green wellies stamped over all this turf. We found one deal that centres on this man in the cap, the late hugh van cutsem. He was one of the princes oldest friends. Mr van cutsem was a director of Sustainable Forestry management limited. They were registered in bermuda and traded in carbon credits, a market created by International Treaties to tackle global warming. Sustainable Forestry Management limited would have made more money if International Regulations were changed to include carbon credits from all forests. The chronology of events raises serious questions for the prince. In february 2007, the duchy buys 50 shares worth 113,500. At that time, sfms directors agree to keep the duchys shares confidential. Mr van cutsem asks for lobbying documents to be sent to the princes office. The prince begins making speeches, campaigning for changes to two International Agreements on carbon credits. Injune 2008, he sells his shares for 325,000, a profit of more than 200,000. But we cant find, nor has the princes office been able to show us, any speeches Prince Charles made on this specific issue before he bought his shares. He made three major speeches in the seven months after he bought them. I think its a serious conflict. Theres a conflict of interest between his own investments of the duchy of cornwall and what hes trying to achieve publicly, and i think its unfortunate that somebody of his importance, of his influence, becomes involved in such a serious conflict. This is the sort of thing the prince was saying in his speeches despite the princes lobbying, the regulations surrounding carbon credits were not changed. His spokesman said i think what happened was wrong. What i dont think is that he deliberately acted in a way which was unacceptable. I think if hed realised the context in which he was being asked to do something he would have acted in a different way. Theres no suggestion that any of this is illegal or tax was avoided, and its impossible to know why the Share Price Rose after Prince Charles estate secretly invested in his friends company. For the second time in a week, the Paradise Papers raise serious questions about how royal cash is being managed. Richard bilton, bbc news. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell is in delhi. Just how embarrassing is all this for Prince Charles . It is embarrassing. I think, for Prince Charles . It is embarrassing. Ithink, particularly so embarrassing. Ithink, particularly so soon after the revelations about the queens offshore investments. Theres been no detailed response yet. Its the early hours of the morning here. Also in panang where he and officials are. In terms of the conflict of interest allegation, iimagine the conflict of interest allegation, i imagine they will say the prince was minded to speak out, not to try to increase the value of his, in his terms, quite small shareholding, to increase the value of his, in his terms, quite smallshareholding, but because of his passionate interest in these environmental issues. He was putting his money where his mouth is, if you like. 0n the broader point, Clarence House has said the prince has had no direct involvement in investment decisions, careful choice of words there. I have no doubt he had a sense of the general direction of travel. 0n offshore directions i think Clarence House will be robust. Its not illegal. He voluntarily pays income tax. There is no tax loss to the united kingdom. They will point out that the duchy of cornwall is out to identify high yield investment opportunities, just as other entities, such as pension funds. But it is certainly unhelpful to the Royal Households that this will re open the calls for Greater Transparency about finances, republic, the pressure group, has done that tonight. It reminds us of the potential pit falls of having an activist prince who speaks out and lobbies on sometimes sensitive issues, one of which we now know he had an indisclosed financial interest. Thank you. Theres a special section on the bbc website dedicated to the Paradise Papers with much more explanation and analysis. A senior labour politician in the Welsh Assembly has been found dead just days after he was sacked as a minister, following allegations from a number of women about this personal conduct. 49 year old Carl Sargeant had been suspended by the party until investigations into the claims were carried out.

Just days after allegations about his personal conduct were made public, police we re conduct were made public, police were called to his family home this morning, where his body was found. Its morning, where his body was found. Its understood that the 49 year old had taken his own life. His family said carl was a much loved husband, father and friend. He wasnt simply a part of ourfamily, he father and friend. He wasnt simply a part of our family, he was the glue that bound us together. He was the heart of our family. We loved him so very much. The assembly is in deep shock, all the elected members and the staff here in the senedd. Carl was a member who was liked and respected across the political parties. His role as cabinet secretary for children and communities was close to his heart, but he was sacked on friday by the first minister of wales, ca rwyn friday by the first minister of wales, carwynjones, and suspended by the labour party, amid allegations med by a number of women. allegations med by a number of women.

Jeremy corbyn said he was horrified by the news. All allegations must be examined and must be pursued. But there also has to be great Pastoral Care and support given to everybody involved. In the Welsh Assembly flags have been lowered and tributes being paid from members of every party. But there are questions about how mr sergeant was treated after he faced accusations about his behaviour. Its accusations about his behaviour.

The mood here is sombre, as members reflect on the man they knew and questions remain about the personal turmoil that surrounded him. The foreign secretary, boris johnson, faced calls to apologise, and even resign, today over comments he made about a british woman whos being held in iran. Nazaneen zargari ratcliffe was arrested last year for allegedly being part of a plot to overthrow the government in tehran. Borisjohnson told mps last week that she was in iran to train journalists. But her family insist she was just on a family visit. They say the foreign secretarys comments could add years to her prison sentence. This afternoon, mrjohnson said he was sorry of his remarks had been misconstrued. Lucy manning reports. She has been held for 584 days, separated from her daughter gabriella and her husband. Nazaneen zargari ratcliffe, from north london, is iranian and british. Imprisoned by iran and now her case seemingly undermined by the British Foreign secretary. Borisjohnsons comments to mps last week suggested she was in iran training journalists before her arrest. When you look at what nazaneen zargari ratcliffe was doing, its just, you know, she was simply teaching people journalism as i understand it. Her family always clear the Thompson ReutersFoundation Employee was just visiting relatives with her young daughter. I dont think it was helpful, i think it was a mistake. And i think its a mistake that needs to be corrected. She was in a very bad way on saturday, when shed just come out of the courtroom and just cried for most of the phone call because she was bewildered why these new charges were coming. The iranian judiciarys website suggested the foreign secretarys comments shed new light on her case. It has meant five years imprison for plotting to overthrow the regime could be doubled to ten. The foreign secretary had to call the Iranian Foreign minister and was forced to clarify in the commons. The uk government has no doubt that she was on holiday in iran when she was arrested last year and that was the sole purpose of her visit. I accept that my remarks could have been clearer in that respect and im glad to provide this clarification. He faced calls to resign. How about the foreign secretary himself shows a bit of personal responsibility and admits that a job like this, where your words hold gravity and your actions have consequences, it is simply not the job for him. Will the foreign secretary now apologise . He cannot be trusted to do thisjob and he should resign. Eventually, after nearly an hour, there was a sort of apology. Of course im sorry if any words of mine have been so taken out of context and so misconstrued as to cause any kind of anxiety for the family of nazaneen zargari ratcliffe. According to the Foreign Office, the Iranian Foreign minister said today the fact mrs zargari ratcliffe had been brought back to court wasnt due to borisjohnsons comments and he promised to work with the British Government to try and resolve the case on humanitarian grounds. But the political complications in iran between the more moderate elements and the hard liners in the regime means it wont be that straightforward. Maziar ba hari, a journalist, was held in an iranian jailforfour months. For nazaneen, im not sure what is the price, but experience has shown that theyre not going to release her without getting something in exchange. For richard ratcliffe, he has been unable to see his daughter or his imprisoned wife as he cant get a visa. As gabriellas got older, shes understood more, so she now knows that her mums in prison. She thinks that mummy and daddy are both in prison. Shes said to her mum, shes praying to god for them both to be released. He now wants the foreign secretary to visit his wife when he travels to iran in the next few weeks. Lucy manning, bbc news. Pressure is growing on the International Development decretary, priti patel, tonight after she held a series of unofficial meetings with israeli politicians during a holiday in israel. Labour have called for an investigation saying the 12 meetings, including one with israels Prime Minister involved serious breaches of the ministerial code. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, reports. It began with some holiday photos from israel. Not of priti patel seeing the sights, but having coffee with a politician and visiting a charity. Just two of 12 meetings she had without telling the Foreign Office. Her most important engagement was with israels Prime Minister, something theresa may knew nothing about when she welcomed Binyamin Netanyahu to downing street last week. This afternoon, labour summoned the International Development secretary to the commons to explain herself. Shes at a meeting. The speaker minister of state, alistair burt. But it turned out she was on her way to africa, leaving her deputy in charge. And shes presently in the air. He said that miss patil had not harmed britains interests, but made clear that ministers should tell the Foreign Office about their trips. You would, of course, let the Foreign Office know in advance, which my right honourable friend did not, and that was the error for which she has apologised, but the meetings were all really pertinent to her work. He confirmed that after the trip, miss patel suggested using british aid money to help the israeli army treat wounded syrians in the occupied golan heights, an idea the Foreign Office vetoed because the uk doesnt recognise israels annexation of this area. An idea theresa may did not know about until the bbc reported it this morning. All this, labour insisted, was a clear breach of the ministerial code of conduct. Does the minister accept that its time the secretary faces a Cabinet Office investigation or does the decent thing and just resign . Some mps say in normal times, with a strong Prime Minister, with a healthy majority, priti patel would have had no choice but to resign. But these are anything but normal times. The Prime Ministers Spokesman Says she still has full confidence in miss patel, but labour sense blood and are bombarding miss patel with questions that soon she will have to answer in person. James landale, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. Controversy surrounding two cabinet ministers today another difficult day for theresa may and her government . Certainly, sophie. These are stormy days for theresa mays government as they are for the rest of westminster. As one former tory minister said very tartly today if these circumstances were normal then borisjohnson would be out on his earand borisjohnson would be out on his ear and priti patel would have quit. These arent normal times. The government is divided, particularly over brexit. The conservatives dont have a majority, of course in the house of commons and the defence secretary, Michael Fallon quit last week. The government are reluctant to lose another cabinet minister so soon. To lose another cabinet minister so soon. Priti patel was called in to see theresa may yesterday, was given a real dressing down, but she stays in herjob for now. I should say that this evening there are rumours circulating around westminster very strongly she could be in real trouble this evening. She is currently on a trip to africa, but this evening the Prime Minister and priti patel have not spoken. There is certainly a question mark over the future of her in the cabinet. Borisjohnson, he also stays in his job, but it has been a very difficult day for him. He had a pummelling in the commons from mps who are very angry about how hes conducted himself in this. In particular, the discrepancy between what he says he meant to say in the commons last week to mps and what he actually said. They are angry too that there was not a unequivocal apology from him at the start of the day and mps had to extract some contrition from him later this afternoon. They are angry about the way that he handled what was a very sensitive case. I think trouble too for borisjohnson, sensitive case. I think trouble too for boris johnson, but sensitive case. I think trouble too for borisjohnson, but the foreign secr
