An unprecedented move by the Prime Minister as he attempts to shut down

:00:09.:00:16.

the row over his finances. He is publishing his tax returns and says

:00:17.:00:22.

he is to blame for questions over his financial affairs.

:00:23.:00:28.

Don't blame number 10 Downing Street, or nameless

:00:29.:00:29.

advisers, blame me and I will learn the lessons.

:00:30.:00:32.

So what will he reveal and will it draw a line under the issue?

:00:33.:00:35.

Belgian authorities say a man they've arrested says he's

:00:36.:00:38.

the so called "man in the hat" - wanted in connection

:00:39.:00:41.

Two fishermen are dead and another remains missing after their trawler

:00:42.:00:45.

How a teenage jockey on his first ride in the race -

:00:46.:00:55.

In an unprecedented move the Prime Minister is preparing

:00:56.:01:22.

The move comes after he admitted he could have handled the recent row

:01:23.:01:28.

about his financial affairs better - and his admission, earlier

:01:29.:01:31.

in the week that he had invested in an offshore trust set

:01:32.:01:34.

Speaking to Conservative activists he said he should take the blame

:01:35.:01:41.

for the way in which the news was dealt with.

:01:42.:01:43.

Our political correspondent Carole Walker reports.

:01:44.:01:45.

Demonstrators gathered to leave the Prime Minister in no doubt

:01:46.:01:50.

about the strength of feeling amongst some people

:01:51.:01:52.

They were out to attack his government for a tax system

:01:53.:01:58.

The Prime Minister said he had been very angry about what some had said

:01:59.:02:04.

about his late father, who founded an offshore fund.

:02:05.:02:07.

But, he said, that should not have clouded the picture.

:02:08.:02:10.

I know that I should have handled this better.

:02:11.:02:20.

I know that there are lessons to learn, and I will learn them.

:02:21.:02:28.

Don't blame Number Ten or nameless advisers.

:02:29.:02:31.

David Cameron's promised to learn lessons from his handling of this

:02:32.:02:37.

row, to be open and transparent in future, to publish

:02:38.:02:40.

But Labour say this matter raises questions about his

:02:41.:02:45.

Most Tories seem to be rallying around their leader.

:02:46.:02:53.

But the London Mayor Boris Johnson chose not to lend his support

:02:54.:02:56.

Boris, is it morally wrong to avoid tax by investing in

:02:57.:03:02.

It took David Cameron several days to admits that he and his wife

:03:03.:03:10.

did have shares in his late father's offshore fund, which they sold

:03:11.:03:14.

for ?30,000 before he became Prime Minister.

:03:15.:03:18.

And there is no suggestion he has done anything illegal.

:03:19.:03:24.

The Labour leader has accused Mr Cameron of misleading people

:03:25.:03:27.

It's not about an individual, it's not about one person,

:03:28.:03:32.

It's about a whole ethos where the very rich are able

:03:33.:03:37.

to put their money into tax havens and funds with zero income tax,

:03:38.:03:41.

sometimes also a zero rate of corporation tax.

:03:42.:03:45.

The Prime Minister insists he has acted to address the concerns

:03:46.:03:48.

of protesters like these, closing the tax loophole.

:03:49.:03:58.

And ensuring greater international transparency on tax.

:03:59.:03:59.

He will be hoping that by releasing unprecedented detail on his personal

:04:00.:04:02.

finances that he can convince the public

:04:03.:04:04.

And Carole is in Downing Street, so what can we learn

:04:05.:04:10.

Well, what we are getting tonight is going to be the details of all the

:04:11.:04:24.

Prime Minister's earnings and tax going back six years, to just before

:04:25.:04:28.

when he became Prime Minister. That will include his salary, the tax

:04:29.:04:33.

allowances on that. The money he gets from renting out his house in

:04:34.:04:37.

west London while he lives here in Downing Street. The inheritance he

:04:38.:04:41.

got after his father died, and the money he got after selling off all

:04:42.:04:46.

the stocks and shares just before he became Prime Minister, including

:04:47.:04:49.

those shares in his late father's offshore fund. Downing Street know

:04:50.:04:57.

this will bring yet more focus on a Prime Minister's personal finances,

:04:58.:04:59.

yet more headlines on all of this, but they have clearly judged the

:05:00.:05:03.

only way they will be able to put this behind them, is by confronting

:05:04.:05:08.

the issue head-on, with this unprecedented level of detail.

:05:09.:05:12.

Labour are in no mood to let this drop. They are calling for a public

:05:13.:05:18.

enquiry. They say Jeremy Corbyn will publish his own tax returns. I think

:05:19.:05:22.

both sides are now gearing up for another phase in this whole row when

:05:23.:05:29.

parliament comes back on Monday. Thank you.

:05:30.:05:31.

Prosecutors in Belgium say a suspect - arrested yesterday -

:05:32.:05:34.

has confessed to being the so called 'man in the hat' wanted

:05:35.:05:36.

in connection with the Brussels airport bombing.

:05:37.:05:38.

Mohamed Abrini is reported to have said that he's

:05:39.:05:40.

the man caught on camera with the two suicide bombers.

:05:41.:05:43.

From Brussels, here's Damian Grammaticas.

:05:44.:05:54.

Making their arrest. This is thought to be the moment the Belgian police

:05:55.:06:00.

got their man, Mohamed Abrini. And this is him said to be on the way to

:06:01.:06:07.

leaving a bomb. Prosecutors say he is the man on the right with the

:06:08.:06:10.

Brussels airport bombers seconds before they detonated their suitcase

:06:11.:06:15.

bombs. As he fled the attack, he said he discarded the jacket he was

:06:16.:06:20.

using to hide his identity. Mohamed Abrini, who evaded police for more

:06:21.:06:24.

than four months, has now emerged as a key player in both the Brussels

:06:25.:06:31.

and Paris attacks. He was on the Right here together with Salah

:06:32.:06:33.

Abdeslam, on more security footage which shows them providing the cars

:06:34.:06:42.

used by the Paris attackers. This is a big breakthrough. Belgium's Prime

:06:43.:06:47.

Minister today said the latest developments were very positive but

:06:48.:06:51.

he said Belgium still had to remain alert and watchful. Three other men

:06:52.:06:55.

who were arrested in Brussels, along with Mohamed Abrini Friday, have now

:06:56.:06:59.

been charged like him with terrorist offences. Two are believed to have

:07:00.:07:05.

provided support to the attackers, whilst another is believed to have

:07:06.:07:09.

brought the bags used to hide the Brussels airport bombs and been at

:07:10.:07:13.

the scene of the Brussels metro attack. After months of criticism,

:07:14.:07:18.

this is a significant day for Belgian investigators. The question

:07:19.:07:23.

remains, how they now broken apart the network which attacked Brussels

:07:24.:07:26.

and Paris, or are there still threats out there?

:07:27.:07:30.

An air and sea search, launched after a fishing boat sank

:07:31.:07:33.

off the Western Isles has been scaled back tonight after two

:07:34.:07:36.

The coastguard responded after receiving a distress call off

:07:37.:07:39.

the coast of Mingulay in the early hours of the morning.

:07:40.:07:42.

One crew member was rescued - but another is still missing.

:07:43.:07:44.

From Stornoway, Roddy Munro sent this report.

:07:45.:07:48.

The Stornoway registered fishing vessel Louisa was anchored off

:07:49.:07:50.

Mingulay when she began taking on water.

:07:51.:07:53.

It is understood the four crewmembers abandoned ship.

:07:54.:07:55.

Two of them decided to swim to the shore which they could see

:07:56.:08:02.

and during that swimming one of them drifted away from the other

:08:03.:08:09.

and he was lost, whilst the other one made it to the shore.

:08:10.:08:16.

Following an air and sea search two bodies were recovered.

:08:17.:08:19.

A third crew member is still missing.

:08:20.:08:22.

The fourth was tonight discharged from hospital.

:08:23.:08:26.

The normally busy harbour at Stornoway was silent this evening

:08:27.:08:28.

as the community mourns and comes to terms with its loss.

:08:29.:08:32.

I think it is an absolute tragic story, the loss of these fishermen.

:08:33.:08:37.

The communities right from the Butt to Barra will be thinking of

:08:38.:08:40.

I know our thoughts and condolences will go out to the families

:08:41.:08:45.

and I think everybody in the Western Isles will be

:08:46.:08:47.

This is a close-knit fishing community with a long history

:08:48.:08:53.

and tradition of seafaring where people respect the sea

:08:54.:08:55.

for what it provides, but also where people are all too

:08:56.:08:58.

accustomed to what it can cruelly take away.

:08:59.:09:02.

But this relationship and this familiarity can never

:09:03.:09:06.

prepare people for tragic events like today's.

:09:07.:09:16.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, says he's

:09:17.:09:18.

discovered he is the son of Sir Winston Churchill's

:09:19.:09:20.

The Archbishop said a DNA test had revealed his real father to be

:09:21.:09:24.

Sir Anthony Montague Browne and not Gavin Welby -

:09:25.:09:27.

This Archbishop's life story was already an unusual one.

:09:28.:09:37.

Now as he needs Christians in Zambia this weekend,

:09:38.:09:40.

Talking to young people there, Justin Welby dropped hints

:09:41.:09:50.

For me, I am who I am because I am in Jesus Christ.

:09:51.:09:54.

That is the only thing that gives me identity.

:09:55.:09:57.

And you will see why I am saying that in a couple of days' time.

:09:58.:10:00.

The resemblance between the Archbishop and

:10:01.:10:05.

Sir Anthony Montague Browne, the man revealed as his real father,

:10:06.:10:08.

It was Sir Anthony's widow who noticed it first and DNA tests

:10:09.:10:13.

Sir Anthony was a decorated war hero and private

:10:14.:10:18.

Justin Welby's mother Jane worked there too

:10:19.:10:37.

and has confirmed they had a brief liaison.

:10:38.:10:41.

And that was just before her marriage to this man,

:10:42.:10:44.

The baby Justin was born almost exactly nine months later.

:10:45.:10:49.

The Archbishop of Canterbury learned the news just

:10:50.:10:51.

He has described his childhood as messy.

:10:52.:10:53.

Though he says he is extremely proud of his mother,

:10:54.:10:57.

who gave up alcohol in 1968, and became a pillar of the community.

:10:58.:11:02.

Friends say this revelation won't change the Archbishop.

:11:03.:11:18.

I think it will make a difference, I think, in some ways,

:11:19.:11:22.

to lots of other people, who have discovered that their biological

:11:23.:11:25.

parents are different from those who they thought

:11:26.:11:28.

They will identify with the Archbishop

:11:29.:11:33.

So, I think it will increase even more his pastoral

:11:34.:11:45.

In a statement, Justin Welby says that although there

:11:46.:11:48.

are elements of sadness, even tragedy, in his case, this

:11:49.:11:50.

David Cameron has launched the Conservatives' campaign

:11:51.:11:54.

for the local elections in England, insisting his party is the only

:11:55.:11:57.

one that can be trusted to keep taxes down.

:11:58.:11:59.

He says voters face a clear choice between what he called

:12:00.:12:01.

the "competence" of strong Conservative councils

:12:02.:12:04.

The whistle-blower at the centre of doping allegations

:12:05.:12:14.

against a British doctor has accused the UK anti-doping agency

:12:15.:12:16.

Speaking to the BBC, former amateur cyclist

:12:17.:12:21.

Dan Stevens said the organisation had no reason not

:12:22.:12:23.

to investigate his warnings over Dr Mark Bonar.

:12:24.:12:25.

It's the issue casting a shadow over world sport.

:12:26.:12:33.

But there are now fears that the threat of doping could be

:12:34.:12:36.

Last weekend, an investigation by the Sunday Times

:12:37.:12:46.

showed a London based medic, Mark Bonar, claiming to have helped

:12:47.:12:48.

Now the man who brought him to the attention of UKAD,

:12:49.:12:53.

the anti-doping agency, two years ago, has spoken out.

:12:54.:12:55.

He started talking about other drugs, like human growth hormone.

:12:56.:12:57.

EPO, and suggested that he worked with a number of other clients.

:12:58.:13:00.

And those clients were already taking

:13:01.:13:06.

this and that if you wanted to compete at a high level, it was what

:13:07.:13:09.

Stephens turned whistle-blower when he was banned for

:13:10.:13:12.

refusing to take a drugs test, telling UKAD about Bonner and

:13:13.:13:15.

handing over these signed prescriptions in the hope of a

:13:16.:13:17.

UKAD say they didn't have the jurisdiction to

:13:18.:13:20.

pursue the matter and that there wasn't enough evidence to refer

:13:21.:13:28.

Bonner to the General Medical Council but the government has

:13:29.:13:31.

ordered an enquiry into the handling of the case.

:13:32.:13:33.

I would describe that as a catastrophic failure.

:13:34.:13:36.

They were given prescriptions that the doctor

:13:37.:13:37.

had produced, they were prescribed via British chemists.

:13:38.:13:39.

UKAD have got absolutely no excuse for not

:13:40.:13:41.

UKAD said it was investigating the claims made by

:13:42.:13:45.

It asked for anyone with information to contact it.

:13:46.:14:00.

Mark Bonar told us that Stevens presented with some personal

:14:01.:14:04.

medical issues and he treated symptoms appropriately and I did not

:14:05.:14:07.

prescribe for the purposes of performance enhancement.

:14:08.:14:09.

The worst thing I could have ever done was offering my services

:14:10.:14:17.

to blow the whistle on what had been happening because

:14:18.:14:21.

I genuinely think they did not want someone to do that.

:14:22.:14:25.

Stevens is a self-confessed cheat and without

:14:26.:14:27.

corroboration, his evidence will be treated with caution but many

:14:28.:14:30.

believe that if sport is to get any cleaner, the treatment of

:14:31.:14:33.

whistle-blowers like him can and must improve.

:14:34.:14:39.

It's been and still is a big day for sport -

:14:40.:14:42.

here's Ore Oduba at the BBC Sport Centre.

:14:43.:14:47.

33-1 shot Rule the World triumphed in the 2016 Grand National,

:14:48.:14:52.

as teenage jockey David Mullins enjoyed a dream Aintree debut.

:14:53.:14:54.

Aintree awoke to dapple skies and warm anticipation. But by race time,

:14:55.:15:08.

things were rather soggy. NVQ or logical omen perhaps? Many Clouds

:15:09.:15:15.

was lasted's winner, tipped to make it two in a row. But a soft ground

:15:16.:15:20.

helped to level the playing field as the 39 runners set off in hope of

:15:21.:15:26.

victory. Only 16 finished the race, but all horses and jockeys returned

:15:27.:15:32.

home safely. Many Clouds was briefly in contention between jumping error

:15:33.:15:42.

ended his hopes and it set up a thrilling finish. Rule The World,

:15:43.:15:45.

ridden by 19-year-old David Walliams, holding off joint

:15:46.:15:47.

favourite The Last Samurai to take the glory. An emotional victory for

:15:48.:15:55.

the mud spattered Mullins and Irish trainer Mouse Morris. For a teenage

:15:56.:16:01.

jockey in his first-ever national, it almost defied belief. This time

:16:02.:16:05.

last year I did not have a winner over fences. To come here and get a

:16:06.:16:11.

ride, I thought I was doing well, but to win it, it is amazing. Rarely

:16:12.:16:17.

has this famous event had more aptly named winner. Today, the world is

:16:18.:16:24.

the king of racing. -- Rule The World is the king of racing.

:16:25.:16:26.

Match of the Day follows us here on BBC One.

An Andy Carroll hat-trick helped West Ham come from behind to draw

:16:32.:16:35.

3-3 with Arsenal at Upton Park, denting the Gunners' title hopes.

:16:36.:16:38.

Aston Villa's relegation was all but confirmed

:16:39.:16:40.

after defeat to Bournemouth, while Crystal Palace moved away

:16:41.:16:42.

from the drop with a win over Norwich.

:16:43.:16:44.

Celtic are eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

:16:45.:16:47.

A Leigh Griffiths double helped them to a 2-1 win at Motherwell.

:16:48.:16:52.

An intriguing battle between Rory McIlroy and defending

:16:53.:16:54.

champion Jordan Speith is brewing in Round 3 of the Masters golf.

:16:55.:16:58.

McIlroy missed the chance to close the gap, dropping a shot himself.

Thank you, that is all from me and the team here. Good night.

:17:20.:17:28.

Hello. Tomorrow, most places will be drier and warmer than today. There

:17:29.:17:42.

have been a lot of showers today. The main wetter weather is sliding

:17:43.:17:49.

northward slowly across northern England, into Scotland later. There
