as the first ship bringing aid to gaza unloads its supplies, there are hopes talks for a ceasefire could resume on sunday. vaughan gething is set to succeed mark drakeford as the first minister of wales, making him the first black leader of a any european country. and the indian navy rescues the crew of a hijacked ship in the indian ocean — 35 somali pirates surrender. hello, i'm anjana gadgil. princess diana's brother, charles spencer, has told the bbc that he and his sister suffered violent punishments at home by a nanny referred to as nanny forster. he said the punishments were painful and really hurt, adding that violence against children damages them, whatever family they are born into.

charles spencer also said the press attention suffered by his sister was more dangerous than the attention online focused on kate, the current princess of wales. princess diana's brother was speaking in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the bbc�*s sunday with laura kuenssberg. earlier, i spoke to graham satchell, who has been reviewing the material in the interview and asked him what was the main thrust of earl spencer's comments were. well, this was a searingly honest interview with earl spencer, and at times difficult to watch, to be honest. he has written a book about his experiences of his childhood, particularly at boarding school, and he talks about suffering shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and being sexually abused from the age of 11. he also talks in some detail about his experience at home with his sister, princess diana, and particularly suffering at the hands of a violent nanny, nanny forster. and this is what he had to say.

really damaging violence to children is going to affect them, whatever house they come from, whatever family they're born into. and that nanny who did that to us, i mean, she used to crack our heads together if we're both found to have done something naughty — obviously, without my father's knowledge. but it really hurt. it wasn't a tap on the wrist. it was a cracking crunch, you know, and i remember it still. and i think it emphasises, again, the disconnect of parents. and i'm really not a critic of my parents. they did their best, like 98% of parents do. and i think, again, it was just normal — you leave it to the nanny to deal with this. i have two older sisters, and only later was it found out that a different nanny was punishing them by ladling laxatives down them, and my parents couldn't work out why they were constantly ill. so you were dealing

with a very unstructured world of privileged parents living parallel lives to their children. but you and diana and your other sisters were then brought up even in a home environment where staff, nannies who were hired to look after you, were hurting you. again, i don't think we realised that that was wrong. we knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid. but i think children don't know morality, necessarily, at that stage, or certainly the law. so it was something that we lived with. you can see there the sort of shocking revelations of what happened at home. but i think even more honest really is his description of what happened when he went to school. so he says that he had a headmaster who used to routinely beat him. he describes them as "sadistic thrashings for sexual gratification". and then he says that he was groomed by a 20—year—old assistant matron who sexually abused him from the age of ii. and he says that this experience

of childhood left him traumatised and angry, that he carried that anger with him throughout the whole of his adult life. he says that informed the way that he gave the eulogy for princess diana's funeral. you may remember in 1997, he was really angry in that eulogy at the establishment and the press, who he blamed for his sister's death. and he says that he can trace that right back to the way he was treated in childhood. he says he had an absolute hatred of injustice and non—truth. so a really fascinating insight, i think, into princess diana's brother. and did earl spencer have anything to say about the current princess of wales, who, of course, we haven't seen in public since her abdominal surgery? he did, but only in passing. so i think he was very clear in this interview that he didn't really want to talk about current members of the royal family. there are obvious comparisons between his sister, diana, princess of wales, and catherine, princess of wales. both women subject to extraordinary kind of public scrutiny

and intrusion, as you say. catherine is now the centre of this swirl of conspiracy theories, partly because she hasn't been seen since january after her surgery. and earl spencer was asked in this interview if the dangers of the online conspiracy world today are more potent than the press intrusion that surrounded his sister in the 1990s. and this was his reply. no, i think it was more dangerous back in the day. i think, yeah, if i look back to '97 and diana's death, i think that was so shocking, the circumstances of her death were so shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider it more carefully what it could and couldn't do, not because they had a moraljudgment, but because it was unacceptable to the public. it's interesting that you can you can see we're so far on from the events of 1997,

but it's still very raw for charles spencer, exactly what happened to his sister then. so, a really interesting interview that i think is on tomorrow morning on the bbc. and as graham said, the full interview with charles spencer will be broadcast on bbc one and available on the bbc iplayer for uk viewers on sunday at 9am gmt. talks aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages in gaza could resume on sunday in qatar. egyptian officials said hamas has presented a new proposal for a three—stage plan to end the fighting. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called the proposal unrealistic, but has agreed to send israeli negotiators to qatar. it comes as the first maritime humanitarian aid shipment to gaza has been unloaded on to the shore, containing 200 tonnes of food desperately needed for gaza. the us charity behind the mission world central kitchen is carrying out the mission in co—operation with the united arab emirates.

speaking ahead of a two—day trip to the middle east, the german chancellor urged israel to allow unlimited humanitarian aid into gaza. translation: we have a difficult situation. - it is necessary for aid to reach gaza on a larger scale. that will be a topic that i also have to talk about. we are concerned about the further advancement of military developments. in particular, there is a danger that a large full—scale offensive in rafah will result in many terrible civilian casualties, which must be avoided at all costs. we will have to talk about the long—term perspective, the question of how a peaceful coexistence between a palestinian state and israel can succeed. our correspondent injerusalem, mark lowen, has been speaking to aid organisations in gaza about the situation there. unicef, the un children's charity,

says that one in three children under the age of two are acutely malnourished, and that figure is double what it was injanuary, so there is an urgent need for aid. a slight glimmer of hope with this ship now off—loading the 200 tonnes of aid, being allowed to off—load. it's unclear how the aid will be distributed inside gaza itself, although the idf are saying they will provide some security for that distribution on the ground, which is much needed given the fact that civil order has broken down there, and aid distribution, as we've seen, can turn into a fatal, disorderly incident. so the cypriots, who sent the first ship, are saying that a second ship is now ready to leave as well, carrying 240 tonnes of aid, but really these are fractions of what is needed on the ground, and people are resorting

to a maritime corridor and ships bringing in aid because trucks coming in over land are being so heavily restricted, they have been so heavily restricted by israel over the last five and a half months of war. in order to get a little glimpse of that humanitarian situation on the ground, i spoke to dr margaret harris, a spokesperson for the world health organization, who joined from geneva, and i asked her what her contacts on the ground in gaza are telling her. in our meetings, people say it's beyond words, it is misery they have never seen. my colleagues are people who worked in the toughest places, in africa, in many wars and situations, and they have never seen the speed and the horror and the misery that people are living in. they are living massively crowded together, starving in places, covered in human waste, faeces, unable to clean the place because we can't even bring chlorine in. so it is good news to hear

that at least there is some movement towards a ceasefire because that is the only answer to what we are seeing in gaza right now. dr margaret harris, painting a picture there of the emergency, the health emergency as she puts it and the disastrous situation facing people inside gaza, not least in rafah in the south of the gaza strip, where around half of the entire population of gaza, probably around 1.4 million people are sheltering, and the israeli prime minister's office has greenlit, we are told, military operation there for israeli troops to enter rafah, which is what the israeli prime minister has been warning for several weeks. there would be perilous in terms of the numbers were sheltering there but also in terms of israel's international reputation, which is taking a huge hit. the german foreign minister tweeted today that a large—scale military offensive in rafah would be unjustified and that more than1 million people

have nowhere left to go. president biden said a week ago that a military incursion into rafah would be a red line as far as he's concerned. so that would be a huge risk for israel to go into rafah. i think the prime minister's office has said they're ready to do so in order to increase pressure on hamas ahead of the ceasefire talks that are due to resume, we understand, on sunday, tomorrow, in doha. the israeli delegation are going to talk with qatari and egyptian officials. so that is a glimmer of progress, even though the israeli prime minister's office have said the palestinian demands are unreasonable. —— de hammers demands are unreasonable and unfounded. —— the hammers demands. a hostage situation in newjersey has been resolved, after police confronted a 26—year—old homeless man, known as andre gordon, who was holding people at an address in the city of trenton. gordon had killed three people after stealing a car

in nearby pennsylvania. let's speak to our north america correspondent will vernon. he described the situation is fluid, what's happened since then? things are developing _ what's happened since then? things are developing on _ what's happened since then? things are developing on the _ what's happened since then? things are developing on the ground - what's happened since then? things are developing on the ground in - what's happened since then? t�*i 1533 are developing on the ground in that incident. the suspect, 26—year—old andre gordon, appears to now be the only person remaining at that property. earlier, we saw people being pulled through the first floor windows by police. we believe those were the residents of the property. so they are now out. but heavily armed police officers remain at the scene and we've been hearing a little more about the events leading up little more about the events leading up to this siege. officials and police are giving a news conference, saying around 9am local time this morning, at the turn of falls township in pennsylvania, the suspect armed with an assault rifle, broke into a house in that town, he

killed his 52—year—old stepmother karen gordon and his sister kira gordon and three other individuals in that house managed to hide from that gunman, one of them a child, he then drove to a nearby house where he killed 25—year—old taylor daniel, with whom he had two children, and injured another person, her mother. he then carjacked a vehicle and drove to this house in trenton, where he barricaded himself in where he remains now. locals from that town in person —— but pennsylvania said this is a quiet, peaceful place, very unusualfor said this is a quiet, peaceful place, very unusual for this sort of thing to happen, so i think a very upsetting incident, and of course a terrifying siege ongoing in nearby newjersey. terrifying siege ongoing in nearby new jersey-— terrifying siege ongoing in nearby new jersey. newjersey. well, thank you. will vernon in washington. _ newjersey. well, thank you. will vernon in washington. time - newjersey. well, thank you. will vernon in washington. time for l newjersey. well, thank you. will vernon in washington. time for a j vernon in washington. time for a look at the sport. a busy day for rugby and football and lots more?

penty going on today. hello from the bbc sport centre. straight to dublin where ireland's rugby union team are celebrating once again. for the first time in nearly a decade, ireland have successfully defended their six nations title, after beating scotland 17—13 in theirfinal match in dublin. our sports correspondent andy swiss was watching. ireland lifted the six nations trophy after an enthralling win over scotland. it is the second year in a row that ireland are the six nations champions. last year because they won the grand slam, no grand slam this year because of the defeat to england last weekend, but once again, they have finished top of the table and they have that famous trophy. but it was a real struggle at times for ireland, they were not at times for ireland, they were not at their fluent best, there were a lot of handling errors, it was a pretty nervy occasion all round. there was real tension because huw jones went over for there was real tension because huw jones went overfor a there was real tension because huw jones went over for a try for scotland, that narrowed the gap and

meant it was a nerve—racking last few minutes for all the ireland fans inside the stadium, but they held on for the victory, delight for them at the final whistle. you can see just what it meant. delight for the players to win the six nations title for the second year running and delight also for their coach, andy farrell. well, ireland's victory meant england's very slim hopes of winning the title were over before their match against france kicked off. steve borthwick�*s side will still be aiming for a second place finish in the table. around 12 gone in lyon. the score is 3—0 to england. wales will finish bottom of the table for the first time in 21 years, after they were defeated 24—21 by italy. to football, and manchester city have moved a step closer to securing back to back trebles after reaching the semifinals of the fa cup. city beat newcastle 2—0 at etihad stadium.

bernado silva scored both of city's goals via deflections to secure city's place in the semifinals for a sixth successive season. there was a dramatic finish in the day's other fa cup quarterfinal, as championship side coventry city scored two goals in stoppage time to beat premier league team wolves 3—2. coventry city reach the final four for the first time since 1987. in the premier league, luton town scored a crucial 89th minute equaliser to rescue a 1—1 draw against relegation rivals nottingham forest. chris wood's first half goal looked like it might be enough for victory for forest but luke berry equalised late on to grab a point. luton stay in the relegation zone but they are just three points behind forest, who are in 17th place. burnley gave their hopes of survival a boost as they beat brentford 2—1 at turf moor, with brentford having to play over 80 minutes with ten men. tottenham missed the chance

to move into the top four after they lost 3—0 at fulham. in spain's la liga, real madrid moved a step closer to winning the title, as they beat osasuna 4—2, vinicius junior scoring twice. whilst in germany's bundesliga, harry kane has become the first player to score 31 goals in a debut season in germany's top division, as bayerrn munich beat darmstadt 5—2. division, as bayern munich beat darmstadt 5—2. that leaves bayern seven points behind leaders bayer leverkusen, who play freiburg on sunday. and golf's players' championship at sawgrass is being dominated by american players — with four of them in the top five. the current us open champion, wyndham clark, is top of the leaderboard on 15—under par through five holes on day three in florida. xander schauffele is in second place.

rory mcilroy currently tied in tenth. and that's all the sport for now. the former us president donald trump is in ohio to support the controversial republican senate candidate, bernie moreno, ahead of this thursday's primary. the former president's endorsement, the most coveted in the republican primary, hasn't yet sealed the deal for mr moreno, who's locked in a three—way race. let's speak to our correspondent carl nasman. donald trump no doubt adding to the spectacle. tell us about bernie moreno and about the importance of ohio. , , . , moreno and about the importance of ohio. , , ., moreno and about the importance of ohio. ,, . , ohio. this is really as practical. we saw donald _ ohio. this is really as practical. we saw donald trump - ohio. this is really as practical. we saw donald trump arrive i ohio. this is really as practical. we saw donald trump arrive in| ohio. this is really as practical. - we saw donald trump arrive in what is often called trumpet force one, very windy day here. you can sign —— but you can see behind me he is speaking at this rally in dayton. but he is here to support bernie moreno. he has already racked up the

delegates he needs to be the presumptive republican nominee. he has endorsed mr moreno. this is a very echoes many mr trump's policies. he said today he went to any migrant who arrives in the country illegally. he says that english is the language of the country and he said he would support eliminating any foreign aid to ukraine in its battle with russia. it's very important in the national stage because the democrats hold a very slim margin. a victory in novemberfor the very slim margin. a victory in november for the republican candidate from ohio could be the time for the republicans to take back control of that body of congress. but trump is here to part of this crowd, there are many thousands of people here who are here early for the kids even open, there was a line out of the door. —— before the gates even open. we

there was a line out of the door. -- before the gates even open. we can see donald trump _ before the gates even open. we can see donald trump addressing - before the gates even open. we can see donald trump addressing the i see donald trump addressing the crowd behind you, it must be very noisy. he is of course facing criminal trials, four potential criminal trials, four potential criminal trials, four potential criminaltrials, but criminal trials, four potential criminal trials, but there have been further delays? criminaltrials, but there have been further delays?— further delays? there have been, reall one further delays? there have been, really one of— further delays? there have been, really one of the _ further delays? there have been, really one of the biggest - further delays? there have been, l really one of the biggest strategies of his legal defence team has been that word, it has been delayed. we know that in georgia, the special prosecutor was forced to step down, because of allegations of conflict of interest. so that could complicate that trial in georgia. we know that the delays have been granted in the case in new york that has to do with the hush money. so these four trials all seeming to be pushed back on the big question is whether or not any of them can be finished before the voters go to the polls in november.—

vaughan gething will become europe's first black leader after winning the welsh labour leadership election. the outgoing first minister, mark drakeford, will step down from the post next week. mr gething was born in zambia and is a former solicitor. the result of the leadership election was very close. vaughan gething, currently the economy minister, won with 51.7% of the vote. his opponent the education minister jeremy miles, received 48.3%. our political editor chris mason was watching the announcement and sent this report. the two contenders had just been told the results, but the rest of us had to wait. vaughan gething's wife and son on the front row — always good to have a book with you just in case dad's work thing on a saturday drags on a bit. and now we turn to the oscar bit. and the winner... ..is vaughan gething. mr gething celebrated his 50th yesterday, and winning the welsh labour leadership today.

we turn a page in the book of our nation's history. a history that we write together. notjust because i have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any european country, but because the generational dial hasjumped too. and i want us to use this moment as a starting point for a more confident march into the future. smiles and applause, yes, but questions too about a £200,000 donation vaughan gething accepted from a company run by a man who was convicted twice for environmental offences. the loser, jeremy miles, left pretty sharpish, writing on social media, "trust must be continually earned," which sounds like a barb at the donation and vaughan gething. i think at the end of the day it was a race between two disciples of drakeford. they were both in his cabinet and are responsible for the longest waiting times in the uk, the worst educational outcomes and the weakest economy of uk nations.

that is their record and it doesn't seem like anything will change as a result. plaid cymru are in a co—operation agreement with the labour government here but they reckoned the donation stinks. one way to clear it up would be to pay the money back, because while he says he has done nothing wrong, it doesn't really pass the smell test. vaughan gething insists he's done everything by the book. let's talk about that £200,000 donation — have you spent it all? we have spent a lot of money through the campaign on volunteers, staff, on the work you need to do to run a campaign. is that what swung it for you, huge amounts of money? i think what swung it is the fact we persuaded members that they could believe in me. lots of hard work goes into running a more than three months campaign... and lots of money? it's an indivisible part of modern politics. another striking part of modern political leadership — diversity. growing up, you don't see yourself as different until you realise that the world does

see you differently. and that really happened going into secondary school, looking more and more at the world i was growing up in, recognising that people saw me differently to my classmates. from schoolboy to first minister, vaughan gething will take on his newjob on wednesday. the indian navy says one of its warships has forced 35 somali pirates who had hijacked a cargo vessel in the indian ocean to surrender. a spokesman said all 17 crew of the hijacked maltese—flagged ship were rescued without injury. our south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan, has more on this. the international maritime forces have been tracking this shape since november and what happened was, a few days ago, another bangladeshi ship was hijacked by the pirates in the arabian sea. officials suspect this particular ship could have been used as the mothership to go deeper

into the ocean and hijack that one. in the navy, was sweet on eggs yesterday is say they were following this particular ship and to have come out and said they have coerced the surrender of these 35 somali pirates off the coast of somalia. it seemed to be very complex operation according to the indian spokesperson. they had used long—range drones and maritime surveillance aircraft, and also air dropping of marine commandos like the indian equivalent of navy seals, before they could convince the pirates, according to the navy spokesperson, to surrender. and all 17 crew members come from angola, bulgaria and myanmar, have been arrested. —— may have been rescued. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. tomorrow, for all of us, it is going to be a warmer day. today, though, felt a lot chillier across south—eastern parts of the country.

but we've all seen the cloud increasing and there's been some rain and drizzle in the air as well. and we've got low pressure staying probably out to the west, but well ahead of it, this cloud is getting thrown our way and these weather fronts bringing the wetter weather too, and that is pushing its way eastward. will clear away from northern areas of the uk overnight. but across england and wales, coming up from the southwest, we'll see rain developing more widely by the early hours. not welcome rain by any means. that cloud will keep temperatures typically 8 or 9 celsius. but where the cloud breaks later in northern scotland, temperatures could be as low as 3 or 4 celsius. now, unlike today, tomorrow is going to be an improving sort of picture, where we'll see the rain clearing, sunshine coming through, but that could lead to a few showers here and there. now, the rain shouldn't last too long in wales, but if you're up early in the midlands and eastern england, expect a wet start. that wet weather moves out into the north sea, then the cloud breaks, some sunny spells develop, leading to a few showers, mainly for the northern

half of the uk. the winds will be quite light and it is going to be a warmer day. compared with today, temperatures are going to be three or four degrees higher, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. and in that milder air on sunday night, we've got a couple of weakening weatherfronts moving in from the west and they won't bring much rain at all. that's the extent of any cloud and rain early on monday. that moves away and we'll see some sunshine coming through. but then, the next weather system arrives out in the west, northern ireland, strengthening the winds here through the irish sea and into westernmost parts of scotland. it is a southerly wind though, hence those higher than normal temperatures — again, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. we've got the winds coming in from a long way south, hence those higher temperatures. but the potentialfor more rain. now, this area of low pressure is going to track northwards. it's going to take the rain overnight across the northern half of the uk and then clearing away northwards as the low moves away on tuesday. following that, there'll be a few

showers, but then it'll brighten up, it'll dry up with some sunshine, but we still have some rain hanging around here in the south and southwest. but those temperatures at the moment not changing very much, 13 to 16 celsius.

this is bbc news, the headlines... princess diana's brother, charles spencer, has told the bbc that he and his sister suffered violent punishments at home by a nanny referred
