The corporation exonerated itself of any wrongdoing at an initial inquiry in 1996 – one year after the Panorama interview. The BBC had insisted it was not possible to revisit the matter without fresh evidence and the help of Mr Bashir, 57, who is 'seriously unwell' after undergoing heart bypass surgery and contracting Covid. However, it is believed that Mr Bashir – photographed last Friday walking home after visiting a takeaway and a wine shop – is now set to take part in a second probe. A source said: 'The new inquiry will look at absolutely all the available evidence, it will speak to all the protagonists, and that must include Martin Bashir. ' Besieged journalist Martin Bashir arrives at his £2million home in London after a visit to an Indian takeaway and a wine shop – despite the BBC insisting he is too ill to answer questions over the 'web of deceit' he allegedly spun to clinch his Panorama interview with Princess Diana Appearing on BBC Radio 4's The World At One, Lord Grade said of the scandal: 'We have got to get into the timeline – who knew what, when?
Up until now Labour has continued to contest the Panorama findings, with Mr Corbyn claiming it contained 'many, many inaccuracies'. In a speech to the Durham Miners' Gala days after the show was aired Corbyn said: 'The programme adopted a pre-determined position on its own website before it was broadcast. ' After a case was issued by the whistleblowers' media lawyer Mark Lewis Labour continued to vehemently contest the allegations. A spokesman for Labour said at the time: 'These are justified statements of opinion. Any claims will be vigorously defended. ' It is believed legal advice offered to the party while Corbyn was leader stated that the party could win the case. The Guardian spoke to one former member of its ruling national executive committee who said: 'It was clear advice: we were told that the Labour party would win the Panorama case. Then Keir came in and he seems to have decided to settle. 'If the legal advice has changed, it should be shared with the NEC, and they should be allowed to ask whether it is a good use of a significant sum of money. '
I think we're almost entering a Kafkaesque alternative reality, where the Government sets the rules, we follow them, they don't like the results, they then deny setting the rules and blame the people that were trying to do their best" Mark Adams He also pointed to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff in many homes, which failed to combat the spread of the virus. The National Care Forum (NCF), which represents 120 of the UK's social care charities, hit back by telling the PM to start "turning the dial up on reform and down on blame". NCF boss Vic Rayner blasted: "Mr Johnson's comments in relation to care homes' following of procedures are neither accurate nor welcome. "Government guidance has come to the sector in stops and starts - with organisations grappling with over 100 pieces of additional guidance in the same number of days, much of which was not accompanied by an understanding of the operational implications of operating care services. "Care providers have moved to adopt these new procedures consistently, at pace and with integrity. "
The service it provides is bad, and tightly controlled by the government. A report by the International Telecommunication Union says that internet penetration in Eritrea is just above 1%. Sim cards are like gold dust in Eritrea. Citizens need to apply to the local government administration to get one. And even if you get a Sim card, you can't use it to access the internet because there is no mobile data. People can only access the internet through WiFi, but it is very slow. To get onto social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, people use a virtual private network (VPN) to circumvent government censorship. media caption EXPLAINED: What is a VPN service? Because of the huge difficulty in getting Sim cards, people still rely on public pay phones to make calls. We used them for the first four days of our visit. Then we got one Sim card for the three-member BBC team, which we had to return when we left. 2) People can only withdraw cash over bank counters image caption Cash can be difficult to get hold of The government has imposed restrictions on the amount of money depositors can withdraw from their bank accounts.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer faced his first challenge as antisemitism row raged on. He's pictured above jogging through the streets of north London, April 18 Panorama also claimed that Miss Formby attempted to interfere in the workings of the National Constitution Committee, (NCC) which decides if members are expelled following behaviour such as antisemitism. Leaked email chains appeared to show that she tried to influence the selection of the panel for the case of Jackie Walker, a former vice-chairman of pro-Corbyn group Momentum, over claims of anti-Semitic comments. On May 5 last year, Miss Formby wrote: 'The NCC cannot be allowed to continue in the way they are and I will also be challenging the panel for the Jackie Walker case. ' Copied in were Mr Corbyn on his personal email address, director of communications Seamus Milne and Mr Corbyn's chief of staff Karie Murphy. Iain McNicol, Miss Formby's predecessor as general secretary, told Panorama: 'The emails you've shown me are really important... the issues that are raised should ring alarm bells across the party. '

" The Sun told yesterday how Fairbairn, who is on police bail over an alleged cannabis factory at his home, was shot at close range in woodland in Enfield, North London.

And those who face being 'modernised' – axed in other words – have been very busy on social media. Their ire has been directed at the quartet on the stools and other executives in the room, a number of whom draw six-figure salaries. Sitting on the far left from the perspective of the 130-strong audience present – the briefing was also streamed live – was Gavin Allen, head of news output. He earns between £170, 000 and 174, 999 a year according to the latest BBC figures and was in a relaxed sartorial mood, wearing an open-necked white shirt with rolled up sleeves. In a photograph taken from the audience and widely shared on social media, Mr Allen also appeared to be half-way through an apple as the briefing commenced and was struggling to decide where to set it down for the duration. Next to him was Naja Nielsen, BBC News digital director. Her salary is unknown. On her other side was Jonathan Munro, head of 'newsgathering', who earns up to £179, 999 a year. Mr Munro at least wore a suit, albeit with a pink open-necked shirt.
The BBC stood by its decision to air the programme while Ofcom rejected 28 complaints claiming the programme was bias, Ofcom stated the programme had been 'duly impartial'.
