The princess of wales has acknowledged editing a Family Photograph that was issued by Kensington Palace on sunday. Leading News Agencies withdrew the photograph because of concerns it could have been digitally manipulated. In the last few minutes we have her Kensington Palace will not be releasing the original photographs of the princess of wales and her three children, only the one that has already been published. Lets speak to royal commentator katie nicholl. What should have been a reassuring episode has turned into a bit of a mess, hasnt it . It episode has turned into a bit of a mess, hasnt it .

It has, as you say, this was meant to be the sort of. This was meant to be the sort of photographs that reassure the nation, i would say actually the world, because there has been widespread concern for the princess of wales, she hasnt been seen since christmas day, a patch was taken last week that sent the rumour mill into absolute overdrive on the internet, with frankly wild Conspiracy Theories about her whereabouts, about her recovery, so i think when this image dropped on Mothering Sunday, it was really designed to sort of, i think, reassure the public, and on first glance it looked exactly that, lovely, charming, intimate, iwould very informal portrait, we understand it was taken last week in windsor by the prince of wales, an amateur photographer. Now we have clarification that numerous agencies took this photograph of their sites, it was essentially killed because of alleged digital manipulation, which is led to the princess of wales coming out with and very unusual statement on twitter is apologising saying that she does experiment with some editing. The guidance we had from Kensington Palace say these are minor adjustments. From Kensington Palace say these are minoradjustments. I from Kensington Palace say these are minor adjustments. I think that is important to bear in mind in all of this. Im not sure there are many people out there that dont put photographs online are on social media now that havent been digitally enhanced in some way. [30 digitally enhanced in some way.

Kensington palace have been under enormous pressure in the last 2a hours to offer an explanation as to these photographs, and some of the discrepancies within the image. I dont think the princess can do any more, i think she has been pretty transparent and clear, and how many of us really post images on social media, and her support over by millions, without giving a bit of a retouch . It was clumsily done, she says, she is an amateur at this, and what i think was designed to be an informal shot of a family on Mothering Sunday has backfired on her quite badly at a time when she probably needs peace and quiet. The Recovery Period is always handled very differently from the kings health issues, so how, after this episode, do you think kate will revisit how she is handling the pressure of the media during the recovery, or her advisers will change what they are doing, or will they stick with the same plan of her staying out of the Limelight Entirely .

To get more on the significance of ramadan, im nowjoined by imam ajmal masroor. Thank you for your time. Tell us a bit about how it is being approached at the moment, particularly with the gaza situation. Irate at the moment, particularly with the gaza situation. Gaza situation. We are fasting, its our first day gaza situation. We are fasting, its our first day of gaza situation. We are fasting, its our first day of ramadan, gaza situation. We are fasting, its our first day of ramadan, so gaza situation. We are fasting, its| our first day of ramadan, so happy ramadan to everyone who is listening to your programme, and prayers to everyone in all parts of the world. Why are we fast in the month of ramadan in the uk, in the safety of our own homes, or many countries perhaps, what we are experiencing is unprecedented. Such a large scale of people fasting on the open air. I have a Family Friend who called me yesterday to say his sister is sharing one toilet between 100 families. They have no adequate food to break their fast, families. They have no adequate food to break theirfast, nor do families. They have no adequate food to break their fast, nor do they have enough food to start their fast. Many of their children are on the brink of starvation. Famine is looming, disaster upon disaster, at a time that is supposed to be a time of calm, peace, a time of tranquillity and spirituality. Ramadan is all about finding inner peace and the outer piece, and there is no peace to be seen in the holy land, and thats the tragedy that we will forever remember. Irate land, and thats the tragedy that we will forever remember. Land, and thats the tragedy that we will forever remember. We are going to look at some will forever remember. We are going to look at some pictures will forever remember. We are going to look at some pictures now will forever remember. We are going to look at some pictures now there i to look at some pictures now there are common in the last couple of days or so of aid being dropped in by air, and efforts to try and build a sort of see corridor as well, those of the parishes there coming in with the aid being parachuted. When you see these, what is it make you think about the situation in gaza, and how much the humanitarian issues are really being addressed by the International Community . This is too little too the International Community . This is too little too late, the International Community . This is too little too late, in the International Community . This is too little too late, in our the International Community . This is too little too late, in our view. Too little too late, in our view. 150 days of bombardment, misery on the majority of the palestinian people, who are innocent, who have done nothing wrong to deserve this, especially children and women, and we are hoping and praying on this blessed month of ramadan there would be a ceasefire, and there will be an international outcry, but it doesnt look like International Community is really interested in bringing an end to this awful plight, and it certainly doesnt look like theres an interest on the Israeli Government to do anything that would help the palestinians find some humanity, some solace and comfort in the month of ramadan after they have lost more than 30,000 people, especially children and women. So, this aid is helping a little, but in fact its not even a drop in the ocean. ,. , fact its not even a drop in the ocean. , fact its not even a drop in the ocean. ,. , ocean. Israel obviously argues that there are allowing ocean. Israel obviously argues that there are allowing aid ocean. Israel obviously argues that there are allowing aid in, ocean. Israel obviously argues that there are allowing aid in, and ocean. Israel obviously argues that| there are allowing aid in, and some of it is being taken by hamas fighters. We have the figure of 23 children have now died of malnutrition. The situation clearly is serious. We can see people diving into the sea to collect some of the aid that has ended up not landing on the land were of the sea off the coast of gaza. To bring you back to the situation with the Al Aqsa Mosque and what is going on there, can you tell us the significance of what is going on there and why is period for muslims there now . Before i answer that, let me go back to the original point you raise, if you imagine youre in a terrible tragedy famine struck, bombs falling in every direction, and someone from the sky was to throw scraps of food at you, i would feel humiliated. I would feel dehumanised. I would feel humanity dont care any more, and thatis humanity dont care any more, and that is how i feel for the palestinians. Secondly, when the Israeli Government says it is allowing aid, we know it is not. In no shape orform allowing aid, we know it is not. In no shape or form as it adequate. If there is a group on the ground, saying its nowhere near enough. We beg, please open up the doors. Allow the palestinians to fast in the months of ramadan and lets have an immediate ceasefire. The significance of Al Aqsa Mosque is very important. It was the first direction of prayer for muslims. It is one of the three holy sites of islam. It is known as a blessing line, it is connected with the profits of the past, all the profits of the past included mohammed, one fraternity of belief, the totality of gods message. The holy land should always be holy. It is the people who sign up for holy and peaceful coexistence. It plays an significant role in the hearts and minds of those limbs locally and globally. It is very sad as palestinians are not allowed and are prevented from praying in Al Aqsa Mosque. Would you believe, Al Aqsa Mosque. Would you believe, Al Aqsa Mosque would not have even an inch available to people to pray in the month of ramadan, now not even one force of the mosque is full of people, because the Israeli Government has put unnecessary restrictions, creating further tension within the palestinian citizens of israel to go in pray in the place that is supposed to be a holy place, shared between all three people.

The Dragon Fire Laser has been described as Cutting Edge Technology with the potential to revolutionise warfare. 0ur defence correspondent Jonathan Beale has been meeting some of the people behind its development. This is whats been happening in the red sea. British and us warships shooting down cheap houthi drones to protect commercial shipping, with missiles costing in excess of £1 million each. But this could be the future. The first video of britains first laser weapon being tested in scotland. A silent, less expensive killer. The beam filmed through a special lens. In reality, its invisible to the naked eye. This is where the High Energy Laser comes out of. Out of there . Out of this window here. A number of tens of kilowatts is coming out of this aperture here. So, thats a number of beamlets that are combined to make sure that we can get that laser onto target. Dragon fire has been developed in the uk at a cost of more than £100 million, but it will give the military more bang for its buck. What this could bring is not having to use that very expensive missile for these cheap threats coming towards you. You know, theyre staying, ultimately firing it costs you maybe £10 per shot as opposed to a lot of pounds per missile. This is what the laser can do, using Energy Rather than firing a projectile. Weve got some steel plates here of different thicknesses that weve been blasting. Its not only taken out static targets, but also drones in mid flight. It can hit an object the size of a pound coin from more than a kilometre away. The most important thing, lots of people talk about the power of lasers, but to take out an asset like this, you dont really need a great deal of power. What you need to do is actually have the precise pinpoint accuracy of the laser beam on the target itself. In reality, its yet to be fitted to a warship. This is a simulation, but this moment could be just several years away. And unlike a conventional weapon, the lasers power can be turned up or down, from destroying a target to simply dazzling it. But it has its limitations, too. The downsides are there. Its a relatively short range system, because you need to be able to see the target and you are fighting against the atmosphere that is trying to distort the beam. And then the big advantages of it . Big advantage, you canjust keep firing it every day and dont need to replenish that stockpile. Directed Energy Weapons are the next evolution of warfare. Not yet star wars, but another step from Science Fiction becoming fact. Jonathan beale, bbc news, porton down. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news.
