Hello, a very warm welcome. Im samantha simmonds. The royal family are facing more questions over a picture of the Princess Of WalesFirst Published on sunday. This picture, released for mothers day, showing catherine with their three children has since been retracted by four Photo Agencies, over concerns it has been manipulated. Its 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 mothers day a picture of the Princess Of Wales surrounded by her children. The aim was to dampen speculation about catherines 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 charlottes left hand, meaning the image didnt reach the agencys 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 didnt 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. Thats 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 wouldnt 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 its fair to say its been a difficult time for the royal family with King Charless cancer diagnosis, with catherine being out of action. Its 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. Its 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. Lets 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 oclock 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 hadnt been seen injanuary and she hadnt been seen in public since. The last time we saw her in person was at christmas. As you know, social media hates a vacuum, theyve filled it with all sorts of speculative stories. So yesterdays 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 shes had this operation and is recovering, that they wouldnt 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 thats 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 wasnt catherine wearing her wedding ring . What was the issue . There were some issues with lining up the patterns on prince louissjumper and with lining up the patterns on prince louiss jumper and then the sleeve of charlottes cardigan which is what four agencies who have issued that Kill Notification brought up, they said there were inconsistencies with princess charlottes 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 maor News Organisations. Bbc had all maor News Organisations. Bbc had all maor 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. Lets 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 cant even break our fasts with a can of peas or beans since we cant 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, weve been watching the progress of that ship over the weekend. Its 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, youre docking the ship transportation. Ok, youre 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. Its interesting that is a much larger issue. It� s interesting what you are saying there, about things that look good or sound great but dont 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 isnt happening. In by road. Remind us why that isnt ha eninu. � in by road. Remind us why that isnt 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 happening. Bringing in aid by road is the most efficient way of happening. Bringing in aid by road is the most efficient way of doing | is the most efficient way of doing this but is the most efficient way of doing this but at is the most efficient way of doing this but at the moment we only have two border this but at the moment we only have two border crossings open, both in the south two border crossings open, both in the south of gaza and they are quite limited the south of gaza and they are quite limited in the south of gaza and they are quite limited in what can be let through. You need limited in what can be let through. You need to limited in what can be let through. You need to have permission to bring goods you need to have permission to bring goods across and for some goods that permission goods across and for some goods that permission is being withheld by the israeii permission is being withheld by the israeli authorities. And of course, it is then israeli authorities. And of course, it is then also a question of getting it is then also a question of getting it across. Theres lots of checks getting it across. Theres lots of checks on getting it across. Theres lots of checks on the goods, and then also the distribution within gaza has been the distribution within gaza has been very the distribution within gaza has been very difficult because of course been very difficult because of course the infrastructure has been destroyed course the infrastructure has been destroyed. The people are not there, communications are very difficult, Internet Communications are very difficult, Internet Availability in gaza is quite Internet Availability in gaza is quite touch and go, it is not there very often quite touch and go, it is not there very often. And it is very dangerous situation very often. And it is very dangerous situation as very often. And it is very dangerous situation as well. We saw that a little situation as well. We saw that a little while ago with people being shot who were receiving aid. Its an extremely shot who were receiving aid. Its an extremely difficult environment to try and extremely difficult environment to try and distribute aid in. The road would try and distribute aid in. The road would be try and distribute aid in. The road would be best and road would be the onward would be best and road would be the onward transportation for no matter how we onward transportation for no matter how we get onward transportation for no matter how we get aid into gaza but its extremely how we get aid into gaza but its extremely challenging at the moment. That is extremely challenging at the moment. That is doctor Sarah Schiffling and some of the difficulties of getting aid into gaza. I some of the difficulties of getting aid into gaza. Aid into gaza. I mention today is the first day aid into gaza. I mention today is the first day of aid into gaza. I mention today is the first day of ramadan. Im 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. Tal
