saying she was experimenting with editing. it came after major picture agencies pulled the photo, saying it had been manipulated. the former conservative party vice chairman lee anderson defects the queen and the prince of wales and others have now left here, but the headlines are very much about that royal photo rather than the commonwealth day service. the former conservative party vice chairman lee anderson defects to the populist party, reform uk. he talks to the bbc�*s political editor. as the crisis in haiti deepens, regional leaders meet injamaica for emergency talks. a ship with 200 tonnes of aid for gaza remains trapped in a cypriot dock. we'll talk alive to the chair of the foreign affairs select committee, just back from the region. and ken steals the show

at the oscars, but it's oppenheimer that's the big winner. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. the princess of wales has admitted "sometimes editing pictures". it comes after questions about this picture released yesterday of her with her three children. five news agencies had withdrawn the photo over concerns it had been digitally manipulated. in a statement, the princess apologised for any confusion, but kensington palace says it won't release the original, unedited photograph. the picture was released to coincide with mother's day and followed weeks of wild speculation on social media about the princess after she underwent abdominal surgery. meanwhile, senior royals have been attending the commonwealth day service at westminster abbey this afternoon. prince william was there together with the queen, princess anne and the duke and duchess of edinburgh.

the king wasn't there, as he continues treatment for cancer. he did record a video message that was played during the service. in recent weeks, i've been most deeply— in recent weeks, i've been most deeply touched by your wonderfully kind and _ deeply touched by your wonderfully kind and thoughtful good wishes for my health, and in return, can only continue _ my health, and in return, can only continue to— my health, and in return, can only continue to serve you to the best of my ability— continue to serve you to the best of my ability throughout the commonwealth. my belief in our shared _ commonwealth. my belief in our shared endeavours and in the potential— shared endeavours and in the potential of our people remains a short_ potential of our people remains a short -- — potential of our people remains a short —— sure and strong as ever. let's speak to our royal correspondent sarah campbell. sarah, how much has this picture story over overshadowed what is happening where you are? is there a broader issue of not so much how this was done, but the issue of trust here? i

think certainly, matthew, we can say that the headlines of the royal family might have wanted from today to do with the commonwealth day service is a big deal in the royal calendar. the king and the queen, before him, so it's an important issue. 56 member states here, representatives of the abbey, 2,000 giving thanks. none of us have really been talking about that at all. we got the king, you saw giving his first video address, since his cancer diagnosis. we had queen camilla leading the service, and we also saw the prince of wales. but the debate continues to be on social media about this digitally altered photograph, and that is what the conversation has been about today rather than the commonwealth service. i've got hugo vickers with me, royal historian. normally we would be talking about the

was "not a proper political party". let's talk to henry hill, deputy editor of conservative home. your reaction? it had been anticipated but your reaction to seeing it happen. weill. reaction to seeing it happen. well, eah, reaction to seeing it happen. well, yeah. reform _ reaction to seeing it happen. well, yeah, reform uk _ reaction to seeing it happen. well, yeah, reform uk have _ reaction to seeing it happen. well, yeah, reform uk have been - reaction to seeing it happen. -ii yeah, reform uk have been gunning to get some for some time. they finally done it. i think once the whip was redrawn, it seems that lee anderson would not get it back by the general election. that he had very few incentives not to find a new party. it will be a major shot in the arm to the party because now there is short money to parties represented, which will be a useful financial boost, and they have a parliamentary spokesperson and an lee anderson, one who is very good at generating headlines. by,

voters from the right of the conservative party, it's already 15-20 conservative party, it's already 15—20 down is obviously going to be painful. abs. 15-20 down is obviously going to be ainful. �* . 15-20 down is obviously going to be ainful. . ., ., painful. a final twin thought, because you _ painful. a final twin thought, because you look _ painful. a final twin thought, because you look at - painful. a final twin thought, because you look at polling l painful. a final twin thought, | because you look at polling in painful. a final twin thought, - because you look at polling in the reform party around 8% —10%. that is a broader headache that is ongoing. also trying to unify the party, that continues to be a problem enhanced perhaps by what we saw. we also sell lee anderson talking about the quote "i want my country back." how much of a problem is a statement like that and how much of a problem is reform uk for the conservatives?— the conservatives? well, it is a problem- _ the conservatives? well, it is a problem. there's _ the conservatives? well, it is a problem. there's a _ the conservatives? well, it is a problem. there's a lot - the conservatives? well, it is a problem. there's a lot of- problem. there's a lot of disaffection on the right at the moment. i don't think any wing of the conservative party is particularly happy with imbalance. reform uk are badly positioned to really hurt the tories, though. the big gap is those leaning right on culture and law and order and also

leaning left on economic issues in public spending. borisjohnson won the red wall with a real spendthrift pledge to level up. and reform is formed by disaffected x tories, basically a right party that is going to struggle. anything that means the tories are pulled in two directions is strategically difficult because every time you make a decision or a message announcement, you have to think," my losing more votes to the other side than on gaining with the side?" and i think there's a real danger that the conservatives overfocus on the danger posed by reform uk and also lose voters to labour and the liberal democrats.— lose voters to labour and the liberal democrats. henry, think you for “oininu liberal democrats. henry, think you forjoining us— liberal democrats. henry, think you forjoining us live _ liberal democrats. henry, think you forjoining us live on _ liberal democrats. henry, think you forjoining us live on the _ forjoining us live on the programme. let's get back to lee anderson. he's been speaking to our political editor chris mason. have a

about border security concerns. anyone over the age of 40 is being urged to get a blood pressure check as the nhs warns there are millions of people who don't 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. you're live with bbc news. let's turn to the middle east. in gaza to mark ramadan, the muslim the un secretary—general has called for a ceasefire in gaza to mark ramadan, the muslim month of fasting. antonio guterres also called for the release of hostages held by hamas and the speedy delivery of aid to the palestinian territory, warning a threatened israeli assault, on the southern city of rafah —

i think lord cameron has been explicit. we have made those asks behind the scenes. you saw lord cameron raise his concerns. i understand the frustration and it is very difficult to explain to the world that the uk and the us do not have as much influence as some people would hope. this is with the israel government. the people would hope. this is with the israel government.— israel government. the eu foreign affairs chief _ israel government. the eu foreign affairs chief was _ israel government. the eu foreign affairs chief was pretty _ israel government. the eu foreign affairs chief was pretty clear - israel government. the eu foreign affairs chief was pretty clear when | affairs chief was pretty clear when he was asked about this because he said it is down to the americans to use their leverage on things like weapons. we heard joe biden over the weekend refused to entertain any sort of going down that route. i don't disagree that should stop. i raise this back injanuary with the lord cameron. i don't think we have substantial arms exports to israel. i think we have legal obligations.

people sometimes forget that you can support the right to self—defense entirely and want to see the threat of hamas ended and israel that has security for the long term. you can also believe the way in which they are prosecuting this reaches international humanitarian law. the uk has a responsibility to change his behaviour. i wish we could have greater understanding that you can have complete respect and friendship to israel and want to see them safe and secure but also recognise the way they are doing this is notjust making them less secure, it is also making them less secure, it is also making them less secure, it is also making the uk less secure.- making the uk less secure. thanks for “oininu making the uk less secure. thanks forjoining us— making the uk less secure. thanks forjoining us live _ making the uk less secure. thanks forjoining us live here. _ america's top diplomat, antony blinken, has flown to jamaica to join leaders of caribbean nations for emergency talks on the crisis in haiti, which began in the last hour. the world food programme is warning of famine conditions in the haitian capital, port—au—prince, where armed gangs are terrorising much of the city.

good afternoon. the cloud producing some spots of rain, and for some, it is on the chilly side. now, through this week, i can't promise we'll lose all the cloud — in fact, there'll still be some rain at times, but it is going to start to feel milder. on the earlier satellite picture, though, you can see the extent of the cloud, that cloud producing some rain and drizzle in places. a few brighter glimpses, particularly across parts of south—west england and wales, one or two brighter spells elsewhere. conversely, some slightly more persistent rain pushing across the western side of scotland. exposed to the breeze in north—east scotland, temperatures only 5, 6 or 7 degrees, the highest values further south up to around 12. this evening and tonight we will keep a lot of cloud,, some mist and murk in places, a few clear spells, but some outbreaks of rain swinging in from the west

across northern ireland into wales, the south—west of england, perhaps getting into south—west scotland and north—west england, too, by the end of the night. if you do see clear skies for any length of time, it mayjust turn a little bit chilly to start tuesday morning, but you can see this frontal system working in from the west, in fact various pulses of moisture, pulses of rain running along this frontal system. here's the first one, pushing its way eastwards as we go through the day on tuesday, pretty wet across a good part of england and wales, some of that rain getting into scotland, as well. perhaps a little bit drier and brighterfor a time in northern ireland, and i think north of scotland will also see some sunshine at times. generally quite a cloudy day, but starting to feel milder — 13 in cardiff, 14 degrees in belfast. through tuesday night and into wednesday, these various frontal systems continue to wriggle through. this frontal system here, this cold fronts, will be pushing will be pushing a little bit further southwards on wednesday, outbreaks of rain with that. to the north of it, some sunshine, will be quite windy in the far north, with some scattered showers. to the south of our weather front,

a lot of cloud, and here, it will feel very mild indeed — 15, maybe 16 degrees if you do get a little bit of brightness. as we move towards the end of the week, we will see mild air surging northwards. temperatures may peak around thursday, with values up to 16, possibly 17 degrees in parts of eastern england. it does stay pretty mild as we head towards the weekend, but there will be a fair amount of cloud and some rain at times.
