hello, a very warm welcome. i'm samantha simmonds. the royal family are facing more questions over a picture of the princess of wales first published on sunday. this picture, released for mother's day, showing catherine with their three children has since been retracted by four photo agencies, over concerns it has been "manipulated". it's the first official photo of the princess of wales since her abdominal surgery two months ago. simon jones has more. released at 9:00 yesterday morning by kensington palace to mark mother's day — a picture of the princess of wales surrounded by her children. the aim was to dampen speculation about catherine's recovery from her recent abdominal surgery. but some people pointed out that the image looked odd — a view shared by several leading picture agencies which had initially sent out the photo worldwide. one of them said there was an inconsistency in the alignment of princess charlotte's left hand, meaning the image didn't reach the agency's standards. late last night, the associated press issued something called a kill notification — an industry term for a retraction. the reason it gave for killing the story is that on closer inspection it appears that the source has manipulated the image. no replacement photo will be sent. it says, "please remove it from all platforms, including social, where it may still be visible." another agency, reuters, advised its customers, "please remove this image from your systems." that was following what it called a post—publication review. afp and getty also withdrew the picture. other commentators online said prince louis' hands didn't look right and even that the tree in the background had too many leaves for this time of year. the last time catherine was officially seen in public was on christmas day. thank you so much. that's very sweet of you to come and say hello to us. yeah, a very happy christmas. weeks later, she was in hospital having abdominal surgery — though kensington palace made it clear it wouldn't give a running commentary on her condition or recovery. after a period of caring for his wife, prince william has resumed royal duties — but against the backdrop of concern for catherine. and this is a depleted royalfamily. king charles has still been pictured carrying out engagements, but fewer than normal due to his cancer diagnosis. and now this photo — designed to cool the conversation around the princess' recovery — seems to have had the opposite effect. kensington palace has so far declined to comment. simonjones has simon jones has more simonjones has more from outside windsor castle. i think it's fair to say it's been a difficult time for the royal family with king charles's cancer diagnosis, with catherine being out of action. it's meant that prince william is having to step up. other members of the royal family are having to do more and are very much in the public spotlight, as they will be during the course of this afternoon. but it comes back to that issue of trust between the public and the royal family. and at the moment, many people in the public are saying they do want to know what happened, if anything, with this picture. it's possible that the picture might have been passed from prince william, who took it on to officials at kensington palace, people who run their social media profiles. and they took it upon themselves to do a bit of enhancement. but i think the pressure now is on kensington palace just to say exactly what did happen. let's speak to our royal correspondent sarah campbell. hi, sarah. good to see you. growing pressure on kensington palace. is there any latest from them today so far? �* , ,., , , ., far? absolutely right, there is a hue far? absolutely right, there is a huge amount — far? absolutely right, there is a huge amount of— far? absolutely right, there is a huge amount of pressure - far? absolutely right, there is a huge amount of pressure on - huge amount of pressure on kensington palace because of the way that this has been handled and because of the fact the noise on social media, the speculation is absolutely deafening at the moment. just to take you through exactly what has happened, yesterday this picture was sent out come on social media but also to news organisations at around nine o'clock yesterday, and the idea was it was about reassurance, because there have been so many questions and so much speculation on social media about the state of health of katherine, princess of wales, because of course she had had this abdominal surgery injanuary and she hadn't been seen injanuary and she hadn't been seen in public since. the last time we saw her in person was at christmas. as you know, social media hates a vacuum, they've filled it with all sorts of speculative stories. so yesterday's picture was designed to show that as kensington palace had always said she is doing well. there you have a photograph of her smiling surrounded by her children smiling, taken by prince william the prince of wales we are told earlier in the week in windsor. presumably the processes he would have taken the picture. one could understand why, bearing in mind she's had this operation and is recovering, that they wouldn't have wanted an outside photographer in so it is understandable prince william would have taken the picture, we assume he sent to the kensington palace social media team who i have to say are very savvy, and that's the question. as simon said, was there some altering that went on, and what level of alteration was that that went on? what we know is that during the course of the day yesterday speculation mounted, the questions were asked why wasn't catherine wearing her wedding ring? what was the issue? there were some issues with lining up the patterns on prince louis'sjumper and with lining up the patterns on prince louis's jumper and then the sleeve of charlotte's cardigan which is what four agencies who have issued that kill notification brought up, they said there were inconsistencies with princess charlotte's cardigan which is why they have withdrawn it. pa, another of the major news agencies, photograph agencies, have not withdrawn the photographs but they say they are asking for urgent quality done a clarification from kensington palace, as indeed is the bbc had all major news organisations. 1 bbc had all ma'or news organisations._ bbc had all ma'or news organisations. bbc had all ma'or news oruanisations. ~ ., ~ , organisations. i know you will keep across this for _ organisations. i know you will keep across this for us, _ organisations. i know you will keep across this for us, sarah. _ organisations. i know you will keep across this for us, sarah. for - organisations. i know you will keep across this for us, sarah. for now, | across this for us, sarah. for now, thank you. to the middle east now. palestinians have begun marking ramadan — the islamic month of fasting — while fierce battles continue between israeli forces and hamas fighters in gaza. let's cross live now tojerusalem and join my colleague anna foster. samantha, thank you. welcome to east jerusalem. you can see the very distinctive outline of damascus gate in the background. we are surrounded by palestinians in eastjerusalem who have started to mark the first day of ramadan. there had been hopes around the world, international leaders made it very clear they were hoping that some kind of broadcast interrupted by interference. the case, despite efforts, it seems, efforts by the qataris and egyptians to try and arrange some sort of deal. this is of course the holiest month in the islamic calendar. during ramadan people fast, muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. they normally break their fast for the iftar meal after sunset but of course in gaza things are going to be particularly difficult this ramadan because the food situation, the aid situation is very difficult. the un have warned of possible mass starvation in the territory, more than a quarter of people they say are facing famine. i want to show you these pictures from eastern gaza, this was from last night when the celebrations started to begin. you can see the little traditional lanterns there and the children singing their ramadan songs to mark the siting of the crescent moon. as we said, they are really doing what they can in gaza. the best they can to mark ramadan during a time of war. translation: we fast every ramadan and we put up decorations five - or six days before it starts. we used to be able to get cheese and dairy and filled our fridges with food for the sunset iftar and sunrise suhoor meals with meat. but now, we can't even break our fasts with a can of peas or beans — since we can't find any in the first place. with thanks to god, even with our empty bellies, we will fast to satisfy our lord. the fighting is continuing in gaza with little sign of a ceasefire imminently. we do know in terms of that aid situation there have been talks and efforts made to try and bring in additional aid by sea. there is a ship, the first one that would use this newly inaugurated maritime aid corridor from would use this newly inaugurated maritime aid corridorfrom cyprus would use this newly inaugurated maritime aid corridor from cyprus to gaza, we've been watching the progress of that ship over the weekend. it's being loaded in cyprus but we are told to technical issues have delayed its departure. they were hoping that it would have set off yesterday. it will be a fairly slow journey off yesterday. it will be a fairly slowjourney because it is telling that barge carrying around 200 tonnes of aid. it is still expected at some point to leave cyprus and come to gaza. problems will be getting some of the aid sure and then the distribution of it to people in the strip who desperately need it. ispoke people in the strip who desperately need it. i spoke earlier about some of the issues, notjust with the sea corridor but getting aid into gaza altogether at the moment. we have far from enough _ altogether at the moment. we have far from enough aid, _ altogether at the moment. we have far from enough aid, aid _ altogether at the moment. we have far from enough aid, aid agencies i far from enough aid, aid agencies estimate — far from enough aid, aid agencies estimate we would need about 600 trucks _ estimate we would need about 600 trucks 6 _ estimate we would need about 600 trucks a day to cross into gaza for sufficient — trucks a day to cross into gaza for sufficient supplies. in february it was about— sufficient supplies. in february it was about 100 trucks a day, so very far from _ was about 100 trucks a day, so very far from what is needed for food, medital— far from what is needed for food, medical items, but also shelter items, — medical items, but also shelter items, tents, tarpaulins and so on. there _ items, tents, tarpaulins and so on. there is— items, tents, tarpaulins and so on. there is very— items, tents, tarpaulins and so on. there is very high need and we have seen _ there is very high need and we have seen different attempts now to meet this need _ seen different attempts now to meet this need. we have seen some airdrous. — this need. we have seen some airdrops, first from the jordanian air force — airdrops, first from the jordanian air force but now also the american air force but now also the american air force _ air force but now also the american air force. those look good, yes, absolutely, — air force. those look good, yes, absolutely, and they are obviously helping _ absolutely, and they are obviously helping but they are very small volume — helping but they are very small volume if— helping but they are very small volume if you compare it to what is actually _ volume if you compare it to what is actually needed. bringing in aid by sea sounds great because that vessel currently _ sea sounds great because that vessel currently in _ sea sounds great because that vessel currently in cyprus is carrying about — currently in cyprus is carrying about 200 tonnes of materials, so that wiii— about 200 tonnes of materials, so that will be very much needed. but it is also— that will be very much needed. but it is also then plagued with the same _ it is also then plagued with the same issues of onward transportation. ok, you're docking the ship _ transportation. ok, you're docking the ship somewhere, but how is the aid actually — the ship somewhere, but how is the aid actually going to reach people? that is— aid actually going to reach people? that is a _ aid actually going to reach people? that is a much larger issue. it�*s that is a much larger issue. it's interesting _ that is a much larger issue. it�*s interesting what you are saying there, about things that look good or sound great but don't necessarily provide the volume of aid needed. seemingly the best way to do that is to go back to the way that things were before the war and to allow aid in by road. remind us why that isn't happening. in by road. remind us why that isn't ha eninu. �* in by road. remind us why that isn't haueninu. �* ., _ happening. bringing in aid by road is the most _ happening. bringing in aid by road is the most efficient _ happening. bringing in aid by road is the most efficient way -

i'm nowjoined by imad ahmed, director of the new crescent society, which celebrates the relationship between faith, islam and astronomy. thank you forjoining us. many people watching this around the world will have begun their fast and will know very well about the traditions of ramadan but it seemed a good moment to let other people know about it as well. talk to us first of all about the announcement of ramadan last night, the siting of the moon, explain how all of that works. , . . ., , ., works. the islamic calendar is a lunar visibility _ works. the islamic calendar is a lunar visibility calendar - works. the islamic calendar is a lunar visibility calendar which i lunar visibility calendar which means each month begins with the siting of the moon. and once you see the moon the month begins. now, we've had a problem in britain were mostly migrants came to the uk and tried to look for the moon, i'd like today they found very overcast weather and they thought, gosh, we can't actually run a calendar in the uk so they began to follow moon sightings from abroad which is a very unique thing happening in the uk. so we have muslims in the uk who followed them in sightings of saudi, muslims in the uk follow turkey, south africa or morocco, or a variety of different countries. so actually, only part of the uk community are fasting today they followed one country. and another part of the uk will be fasting on a different day. my organisation which is called new crescent society work with the royal observatory in greenwich and we are trying to demonstrate that actually we can bring the moon back home and we can see the moon in the uk but wejust need to work together. it might be cloudy in birmingham but we will see the moon in london, or one month it might be cloudy in london but we will see it in cornwall and in this way when we all work together we can have a perfectly viable traditional islamic calendar here in the uk, and i'm hoping to bring this to the community to promote that unity again so we don't have to fast and celebrate eid on different dates. fortunately it was clear here last night, you can smell the bread around that is ready for people to buy for iftar late on. talk us through what happens for the rest of the month now.— the month now. muslims will be fastin: , the month now. muslims will be fasting. and _ the month now. muslims will be fasting, and in _ the month now. muslims will be fasting, and in the _ the month now. muslims will be fasting, and in the koran - the month now. muslims will be fasting, and in the koran it - the month now. muslims will be fasting, and in the koran it says| fasting, and in the koran it says fasting, and in the koran it says fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those communities before you, so fasting is an ancient tradition, it's not just muslims that fast, christian's, jews, hindus and buddhists, they will refrain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset. i think this year there is an added element of sadness or some bonus in that muslims in the uk, and the west, or where we are comfortable, we won't be eating in the day or throughout the day, but we will be remembering there are those in gaza who are starving experiencing a kind of fast involuntarily. so there is a sense of solidarity as well from the muslims here in the uk and around the world to those suffering today in gaza and ijust heard a news report earlier, we are also praying for the aid to get in and for there to be peace there.— for the aid to get in and for there to be peace there. imad ahmed, thank ou for to be peace there. imad ahmed, thank you forjoining — to be peace there. imad ahmed, thank you forjoining us. _ to be peace there. imad ahmed, thank you forjoining us, we _ to be peace there. imad ahmed, thank you forjoining us, we appreciate - you forjoining us, we appreciate your time. just watching people arriving here in eastjerusalem this morning. of course, just beyond the city walls you have the third holiest mosque in islam, the al—aqsa mosque command we saw the israeli government yesterday saying there would be heightened security because of course in this part of east jerusalem, notjust this ramadan but previous ramadans we see heightened tensions and last night we saw some security forces inside the city walls pushing back some younger palestinians who were trying to get to the al—aqsa mosque to pray, particularly at a time of war there are heightened concerns that there might be violence in clashes in this particular area around damascus gate which has seen it so often before. we know that security is being tightened. the israeli government also say they are going to do what they can to let a certain number of worshippers in as well. there is much more to come from here throughout the day. back to london, samantha. studio: thanks very much. some breaking news on our top story, with growing questions over a picture of the princess of wales first published sunday, the picture released for mother's day showing catherine with her three children, since retracted by four photo agencies over concerns it has been manipulated. in the past few minutes the pa news agency said it would be withdrawing the image from its picture service. a spokesperson for the uk's national news agency said like other news agencies pa media issued the hand—out image provided by kensington palace of the princess of wales and her children in good faith yesterday. they said we became aware of concerns about the image and we carried out a report about it last night and made clear that we were seeking urgent clarification about the image from kensington palace. they said in the absence of that clarification we are killing the image from a picture service. around the world that across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. the recently sacked independent inspectors of borders and immigration has called the home office dysfunctional and says it needs complete reform. the home office says david neal was sacked for leaking sensitive information he was told was inaccurate. mr neal said he "paid the price" for speaking out about border security concerns. anyone over the age of a0 is being urged to get a blood pressure check, as the nhs warns there are millions of people who do not realise they have dangerously high levels. high blood pressure puts a strain on the heart and can lead to life—threatening conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. free checks are available at local pharmacies and gp surgeries. and an australian shepherd has been crowned best in show at this year's crufts. three—year—old viking beat 2a,ooo dogs from around the world, over the last four days of competition. his handler melanie broke down in tears when he claimed the top honour and joked that �*viking is a clown and actually thinks he's a mountain goat'. you're live with bbc news. emergency services have rushed to auckland international airport in new zealand after a "technical problem" caused mass injuries to travellers on a flight from sydney. the ambulance service said it treated around 2a people, seven passengers and three crew members were taken to hospital with one reported in a serious condition. dozens more were treated at the hospital. the chilean airline latam said its flight had a "technical problem" which caused "strong movement", believed to be a sudden drop. let's speak to brian jokat who was on the flight from sydney and is now in auckland. how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed _ how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed to _ how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed to be _ how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed to be one _ how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed to be one of _ how are you? i'm in good nick, i managed to be one of the -

robert downey jr! while robert downeer won his first oscar — more than 30 years after he was first nominated. i'd like to thank my terrible childhood... laughter ..and the academy — in that order. and while oppenheimer won the big awards, the night's standout moment belonged to the other half of the barbenheimer phenomenon. # i'm just ken, anywhere else i'd be a ten... ryan gosling bringing the kenergy with slash from guns n' roses. # a life of blonde fragility...# # i used to float, now ijust fall down...# and barbie did win one oscar — best song — billie eilish becoming the youngest ever double oscar winner at the age of 22. emma stone. there was a second best actress oscar for emma stone at the age of 35 for the twisted fantasy poor things. my dress is broken! i think it happened during i'mjust ken. and da'vinejoy randolph was best supporting actress for her role as a grieving mother in the holdovers. i thank you for seeing me. have a blessed night. thank you so much. while 20 days in mariupol — about the russian invasion of ukraine — was best documentary. this is the first oscar in the ukrainian history. talking points from the show included a naked john cena presenting best costumes, an appearance from anatomy of a fall's canine star, messi the dog... while earlier on the red carpet, the us media personality liza koshy took a nasty tumble... ohh! that's all right! ..but styled it out. the oscars are over. it was oppenheimer�*s night. but barbie once again won hearts and minds. colin paterson, bbc news. that is the kenergy. that's it from me. thank you for watching. hello again. as we go through this week, it will often be cloudy. there will be some sunshine, we'll have some rain and it's going to be windy, but it's getting milder now. today we've got this weather front draped across parts of northern ireland and also western scotland, and that's going to be bringing in some light and patchy rain. there's enough cloud around for some patchy light rain in some eastern areas, but most of us will stay dry but cloudy, sunny skies through the afternoon. southwest wales and southwest england with isolated showers and highs up to 12 degrees. through this evening and overnight there'll be some mist forming in the east. the rain will push up into the northern isles and then a new band of rain comes in from the atlantic. that rain will be heavier and it's going to be accompanied by strengthening winds. these are overnight lows. we're not anticipating any issues with frost tonight. so into tomorrow, you can see we've got quite a few weather fronts on this chart. basically, that means that we are looking at a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain pushing in from the west and moving eastwards and also northwards, windy through the irish sea and also western scotland and temperatures 6 in the north to 13 as we push down towards the south. now, tuesday into wednesday, we've got this next front sinking south. this is a cold front. it's going to weaken as it pushes out of scotland and northern ireland and into england and wales. and you can see, too, ahead of it there will be a lot of cloud around. behind it, some brighter skies and some showers. but it's going to be windy across the northern half of the country. these black circles represent the strength of the wind gusts with gales possible across the far northwest. temperature wise, 8 in lerwick to 15, possibly 16 somewhere in the southeastern quarter. and then as we head from thursday into friday, the wind is coming up from the southwest and it will be quite windy in southern areas, as you can see, just by looking at those isobars on friday. so look at the effect that's having on the temperature, the milder conditions or the warmer conditions for some pushing to all but the northern isles. but even in the northern isles, temperatures will be higher than they have been. so the outlook then remains unsettled with rain or showers at times. windy at times, but getting milder. we are expecting the press conference from reform uk. the controversialformer conference from reform uk. the controversial former conservative mp has been suspended by the party. speculation it will be to announce that lee anderson has joined the reform party. they didn't do well in the rochdale by—election but they are polling between ten and 20% and they are a thorn in the right side of the side on the right of the conservative party. we want your thoughts on that. lee anderson and reform uk, are they a good fit? we are hearing from people this morning about what they think. benedict spence, the conservative
