"Grotesque and unjustifiable." Anger at the Palace, as a French

magazine publishes photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing

topless. The Duke and Duchess are said to be hugely saddened by the

publication, and are now speaking to their lawyers.

If they decided they were going to publish these photos, they would

have to justify it in the public interest a reason for using them. I

think the answer to that would probably been no.

BBC News at One. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

are said to be feeling anger and disbelief, after a French magazine

published photographs of the Duchess sunbathing topless. St

James's Palace said publishing the photos was a reminder of the "worst

excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess

of Wales", while Clarence House called them a "grotesque and

unjustifiable invasion of privacy". The photos were taken last week,

while the couple were staying at a chateau owned by the Duke's cousin,

Viscount Linley. The magazine which published them says they contain

"nothing shocking". The royal couple were told about the

photographs this morning, during their visit to Kuala Lumpur in

Malaysia, from where our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell

joins us. And seldom in recent years have we

heard quite at A-level or publicly expressed anger from a royal palace

as we have heard today. It reflects I believe William's feelings, he

remembers what happened to his late mother, he is determined to protect

his wife. The anger has built up as the day progressed.

The news of the voters had emerged overnight. At first, when they

heard about them at breakfast, William and Kate were said to be

saddened. They set out for their first engagement at the mosque for

which Kate had to be dressed demurely. Both of them removed

their shoes. It wasn't until they had left the mosque and off debt a

visit to a nearby park that officials received copies of what

the French magazine had published. Suddenly, the intensity of the

reaction changed. Instead of sadness, there was fury. Officials

began talking about a red line having been crossed. The couple's

spokesman issued a statement speaking of a grotesque invasion of

William and Kate had gone last week to the chateau in Provence are

owned by William's cousin Lord Linley. It is, officials say,

extremely secluded. Unknown to the couple, a photographer was lurking

nearby. The pictures which were taken appeared on the front and

five inside pages of a French gossip magazine which went on sale

this morning. The magazine editor defended their decision to publish.

TRANSLATION: One shouldn't dramatise these pictures, the

reaction was disproportionate. We saw a young couple, in love, who

are beautiful. The whole thing is uncomfortably reminiscent over the

fury over and Prince Harry in Las Vegas. But, Harry was at least

partly to blame for what happened, the same cannot be said of William

and Kate. In London today, people were sympathetic. We have been

there before with Princess Diana. And I think it should be addressed.

These people are looking with her long lenses, they can pick up

anything. Disgraceful. The poor girl will be afraid to take her

socks off anywhere she goes. Everywhere they go, there are

cameras on every side. That is something which, as members of the

Royal Family, William and Kate have to accept. Last week, for if you

days, they thought they were in private, and they lowered their

guard. They are now paying the price.

He said the Duke is determined to protect his wife, what options does

the Palace have now? The option is to go to French law.

France has strict privacy laws. They are consulting lawyers, and I

believed they, and William, are so angry, they are minded to take

legal action against the magazine. The frosty of the statement from St

James's Palace are compels them now to take a stand. -- ferocity.

As we've heard, the relationship between the Palace and the press

has never been an easy one. Just a few weeks ago, photos of Prince

Harry, naked in Las Vegas, were seen around the world via the

internet. This time, though, the Palace says a "red line has been

crossed'" Nick Higham examines whether the episode marks a new low

point in relations with the media. This morning's British newspapers,

full of stories and pictures of Kate even before news broke that

totters photos of her had been published in France. The British

press will think long and hard before following the French lead.

The pictures were taken when the couple were clearly on private

property. The Sun newspaper, the anyone to publish naked pictures of

Prince Harry, said it did so in the public interest. That hardly

applies here. Public interest is usually defined as exposing crime,

corruption, hypocrisy. None of those things apply. If these

pictures had been taken, if the Duchess had been in a public place,

it would be different. She would have chosen to be in a public place.

She chose to be in a private place. British newspapers are being ultra-

cautious with the report on press regulation due in November. What

British newspapers choose to do it is increasingly irrelevant in a

world of social media. The law is struggling to keep up. The genie is

out of the bottle, we live in an international environment, we have

social media which is so different to how things were 15 years ago.

News spreads fast, photos are published almost instantly as soon

as one publication publishes it, it spreads everywhere. It calls for a

new approach to reputation management and privacy management.

The couple could sue the magazine in France for invasion of privacy,

but the damages are usually small, up to 15,000 euros. Not much, given

the extra sterols -- sales for the magazine.

For if you make an economic analysis, from a financial

standpoint, it is interesting for the magazine to have published.

before she married, the Palace asked press to stop handling Kate

Middleton as they had once Diana Spencer. Her private life became

public property. The palace would like to stop the same thing

happening to her daughter in law. It will not be easy.

Plans to make it easier for employers to sack workers have been

unveiled this morning. The Business Secretary Vince Cable also intends

to cut the maximum amount staff can claim as compensation for unfair

dismissal, in an attempt to boost business growth in Britain. But he

said he has rejected the idea of allowing employers to hire and fire

at will. Our chief economics correspondent Hugh Pym reports.

It's all about helping employers manage their work force more

efficiently, that's what the government argues. Small businesses

often grumble end of that legislation gets in the way of

growth. Ministers have come up with answers. There are very large

numbers of small companies that spend a huge amount of time and

money trying to deal with disputes that can be dealt with more

sensibly outside the tribunal system in a much more conciliation

friendly way. The plans include making it easier for a settlement

between bosses and staff when companies want to shift

underperforming workers, new streamlined employment tribunal

procedures, and cuts to a maximum awards for unfair dismissal.

The ease yet it is for employers have to end and -- at a

relationship, the more confident they will fill taking somebody on.

If the relationship doesn't work out at the moment, it can result in

a lengthy and costly process that takes them away from what they do

best which is running their business.

Unions do not like the idea of cutting back on payouts by bosses

if a worker has been wrongly dismissed. This is about unfair

dismissal, people who have been wrongly dismissed and who should

rightly expect decent compensation. This follows a political row inside

the coalition, Downing Street had commissioned a review by Adrian

Beecroft who recommended no-fault dismissal giving employers a free

hand to get rid of staff whenever they wanted. Vince Cable has

confirmed he won't be going down that route. Some businesses say he

should have done and opted for no fault this result in the hope it

might encourage businesses to expand. The priority is finding

growth, the jury is out whether this Cable and his plans will help

with that task. -- Vince Cable. The Chief Constable

of South Yorkshire Police, David Crompton, has said the force would

consider asking a police watchdog whether those involved in the

Hillsborough tragedy should face manslaughter investigations.

Our correspondent Danny Savage joins us now. So what did he have

to say? We have already heard Liverpool

fans were not to blame for the disaster at Hillsborough which was

followed by a police cover up. South Yorkshire police said they

were likely to refer themselves to the Independent Police Complaints

Commission. Today, the current Chief Constable David Crompton,

went to his own police of Dougherty, to outline what those charges could

entail, some could be very serious. There may be the potential for

corporate manslaughter, given some of the detail which came at the

other day. That relates, of course, to how things were handled on the

day, and the view taken about the 3:15pm cut off point. In addition

to that, they're made again, potentially, be the possibility of

manslaughter investigations against individuals.

The Deputy Prime Minister also taught about comments by a norman

macro -- Sir Norman Bettison. Of yesterday, he said, in relation to

his involvement in the Hillsborough investigation, he said he had

nothing to hide. He also said in his statement, fans made the job of

the police harder than it needed to be, which has upset some football

fans. Nick Clegg has said those comments were ill judged and

insisted, and the relatives of those who died would be levied. He

has called on him to clarify what he meant. We are expecting the

Chief Constable to release a new statement this afternoon to clarify

his comments. The The seven-year-old girl who

survived the shooting of a British family in France last week, has

left hospital. Zainab al-Hilli was found outside the car in which her

parents and grandmother were shot dead. She has received treatment

for serious head injuries. Police in France say she has now left the

country. Security has been increased at

American embassies throughout the Arab world, as protests continue in

Egypt and other countries, against a film deemed to insult Muslims. In

Cairo, police have fired teargas at demonstrators who took to the

streets for the fourth day in a row, with increasing numbers expected

after Friday prayers. Jon Leyne reports from Cairo.

New protests in Egypt and across the Muslim world, as anger

continues to grow. In the mosques around the region, they condemned

the film produced in the United States which they see as a deeply

insulting to his land. We shall not tolerate it. In Egypt, the Muslim

Brotherhood called for protests outside individual mosques. And at

-- an expression of up rage. But also keeping demonstrators away

from the centre of Cairo. These are ordinary Egyptians who

are genuinely furious about what they see it as an insult to their

religion and their identity as Muslims. Outside the US embassy,

the protests have continued. Sometimes there is a truce,

sometimes violence breaks out again. It shows how unstable things up

after the revolution. Anyone with a grievance is fighting to get their

voice heard. The Muslim Brotherhood are stuck in the middle. Sharing

the anger over the film, but also try not to alienate the United

States government. Today, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood,

wrote to the New York Times, trying to smooth relations with Washington.

That view is not shared by many of the demonstrators protesting

outside American embassies across the region. The freedom so many

fought for last year against oppressive governments is in danger

of becoming a free-for-all. The situation is unstable and

unpredictable. It is very difficult to see how it will end.

Bring us up to date in terms of her off -- how things are looking at

present. A number of protests outside mosques, but some

interesting comments this morning. The President of Egypt has come on

television and called for an end to attacks on embassies, particularly

the US Embassy in Cairo. Also the Muslim Brotherhood themselves have

said they are now calling for a small symbolic protest in Tahrir

Square, not a nationwide protest. Death and that attempts by the

government here and the Muslim Brotherhood to calm the situation

down. -- definite attempts. It is potentially very, very damaging to

Egypt, the economy and Egypt's vital relations with the United

States. Our top story this lunchtime:

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood will promise a "green new deal" to

stimulate the Welsh economy when her party's annual conference opens

later. She will tell supporters that it would "aim to provide

skills, work, hope and opportunity" for young people. Our Wales

political editor, Betsan Powys, Venue leader of Plaid Cymru is

Leanne Wood. -- of the new leader. Leanne Wood's victory was decisive,

a sign of a party hungry for change. She is an outspoken socialist from

the industrial south-east. While her long-term aim remains

independence, first comes boosting her economy under attack by a

coalition in Westminster, she says. We need to build the Welsh economy,

we need to put all effort into doing that. Plaid Cymru is serious

about that and we will be coming up with ideas to create jobs. Leanne

Wood was brought up on this street. The test now is whether she can

loosen Labour's grip on areas like this, help Plaid Cymru by beating

Labour on their own turf. If we Welsh Labour has emphasised its

Welsh characteristics, its commitment to Welsh culture.

Effectively, she and Plaid Cymru are now fighting for Labour on much

the same turf. From a Plaid Cymru block and councillor in the party's

traditional heartlands comes a warning. I really worry that Plaid

Cymru will go down the same road as the Lib Dems. The Lib Dems offer

one message in the industrial north of England and something different

in the conservative South West. When they try to bring that

together in a national narrative, it falls apart. It is a fine

political balance. The party conference hopes the new leader can

achieve it. A former trader has gone on trial

accused of the largest banking fraud in British history. Kweku

Adoboli, who was arrested a year ago when huge losses at UBS came to

light, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of fraud and two of

false accounting, which allegedly cost the Swiss bank �1.4 billion.

Our business correspondent, Emma Simpson, joins us from Southwark

Fears huge interest in this trial, as you would expect. It was the

prosecution that began outlining its case this morning, portraying

Kweku Adoboli as a naked gambler and a fraudster. The jury was told

that the accused had thought he had the magic touch, but when he lost

he caused chaos and disaster not just to himself, but all those

around him. His motive, the court heard, was to increase his bonus,

his status and his ego. Kweku Adoboli, the City trader

accused of losing his bank �1.4 billion by fraudulently gambling it

away. He arrived at court today to hear the prosecution claimed that

he had risked the very existence of the bank. He worked for UBS, one of

the world's biggest investment banks, where he had swiftly moved

up the ranks from a graduate trainee in London to the trading

room floor. He was arrested shortly after the colossal loss was

discovered. The prosecution counsel She said he had faked bookings,

created false accounts and conducted himself as a master

fraudster, deliberately and systematically deceiving and

defrauding the bank which was employing him. She said Kweku

Adoboli went on to admit that he had been cooking the books since

2008. He denies two charges of fraud and false accounting. The

trial is expected to last eight weeks. It is the year to the day

since these huge losses were discovered at. To give you some

perspective, the jury was told that this sum of money would be enough

to pay a year's salary for 70,000 new nurses or two whelmed --

Wembley Stadium scrap or even six hospitals. This is going to be a

high-profile trial and it is likely to raise questions about UBS's

internal risk controls as well as give a glimpse into the trading

cultures and practices at this investment bank.

The Pope has arrived in Lebanon, where he will deliver a message of

peace for the Middle East. Pope Benedict landed in Beirut a short

while ago for a visit likely to be dominated by the continuing

conflict in neighbouring Syria. In his first comments, he called for

an end to arms imports into the country, something he described as

a grave sin. Large crowds are expected to come

out to celebrate the success of Olympic and Paralympic athletes

this afternoon, as parades are held in Scotland and Wales. In a moment

we'll go to Cardiff and our correspondent Rhun ap Iorwerth, but

first we can join Lorna Gordon, who's in Glasgow.

London had its Olympic celebrations earlier this week. Now it is

Scotland's turn to welcome its sportsmen back home with a parade

through Scotland's biggest city. It gets under way in a little under

three hours. We are expecting 50 athletes to take part, amongst

those will be at Sir Chris Hoy, Britain's greatest ever Olympian.

He has already tweeted to say he can't wait for the parade. We will

also see Katherine Grainger, Michael Jamieson and Paralympians

cyclist Neil far. A great number of athletes expected. One who will not

be there is Andy Murray, who won the US Open this week and won a

gold in the Olympics as well. He just arrived back in Britain a

couple of days ago. A spokesman said he needed a couple of days'

rest after working and playing tennis continuously for four month.

He is said to be devastated he is not at the parade, but he is

hopeful of being in Scotland, probably in Dunblane, at the

weekend. Fist parade will start in a few hours and tens of thousands

of people are expected to line the streets.

Another fitting tribute to be paid to the Welsh athletes as well.

Her yes. The Olympic and Paralympic party goes on and on. Today it is

the Welsh homecoming. Two more medals than Beijing for our am

Olympians, 14 medals for Paralympians from Wales. Why is the

Welsh homecoming important? Asked the athletes how proud they were to

represent GB, and they were, but they will also tell you how proud

they would have been to represent Wales as part of that team. We love

sport in Wales and we like to celebrate the success of young

sportsmen and women. At around 6pm tonight in Cardiff, the athletes

will be paraded. We are expecting about 40 athletes. There will be a

lot of looking back and also ahead. How to take the success into Rio in

2016 and beyond. But just wait for the cheers when the athletes are

right. Let's hope the sun shines!

It's the start of London Fashion Week - a chance for leading

designers to show off their latest creations and the rest of us to get

a glimpse of what we might soon be wearing. But with Burberry issuing

a profits warning earlier this week, there are concerns about how much

consumers have to spend on luxury It is a place to see and be seen.

Caroline Charles was one of the first labels shown on the catwalk.

200 designers will be showcasing their collections over five days.

Behind the scenes, deals will be done to sell those clothes across

the world. So these looks are key to the success of smaller British

designers in particular. It is about these new young, start-up

companies who do really original clothes. Cleverly, they've managed

to get sponsored. Money is always the ticket. For focus might be on

clothes for next spring and summer, but there's a chill in the air for

the industry. This week the British fashion giant Burberry issued a

profits warning and saw �1 billion wiped off its market value amid

concerns about the slowdown in Europe and China. Could this be the

beginning of tougher times for the luxury brands showing here? I think

there's caution when people are looking to China at the moment in

terms of how to grow and develop, but if the brands have strong

leadership and great design, they will continue to grow. To early

next week, Top Shop and Burberry show their collections. One

appealing to the mass market, the other to wealthier clients tell.

With a purse is now tightening, not just here but around the world, it

may be affordability rather than aspiration that ultimately decides

sales. Chris Moyles has said goodbye to

his listeners on his final Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1. He

is the station's longest serving breakfast show DJ and he told

listeners he was proud of what they had been through after eight years

presenting the flagship programme. So 100,000 text messages on the

last show. It is wicked. We are a tough act to follow. It is great.

So long and thanks for all the fish. Chris Moyles saying his goodbyes to

the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, which the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, which

will now be presented by Nick Grimshaw. Let's get the weather.

That is a lovely picture. He is a beautiful picture. This is

what most of us will have on Saturday, a nice start of the

weekend. Bright and breezy. However, it doesn't last all weekend. We

have rain to come, spreading south through the day on Sunday. We had

some windy weather overnight. Winds of up to 70 mph in Shetland. We are

looking out of the Atlantic for that next band of rain to come in

on Sunday. We have some polar air so it is quite fresh air. Some

beautiful sunshine to come through the afternoon, particularly for

eastern Scotland. A peppering of showers further north and west.

Still strong winds even though they are easing in the east of England

and north-east -- north-east of England and eastern Scotland. The

windiest day of the week across the southern half of the country. Some

decent weather to come through the afternoon, although the

temperatures will be tempered by the winds. There could be the odd

passing shower across Wales and Northern Ireland. But it is an

improving picture through the afternoon and by the evening for

cloud melts away, as do the showers. We could see little fog forming

across the southern half of the country. It will be notably colder

compared with last night. Towns and cities, 10 or 11, but three or four

in the countryside. A chilly start tomorrow, the mist and fog will

clear by mid-morning. Cloud drifting into the West, not as

breezy as today. Because it will not be as breezy as today, it will

feel a little warmer. Even in eastern Scotland we will see

temperatures of 18 or 19 Celsius. A bit more cloud in the north-west

and you can see the rain coming in later in the day. By tomorrow

evening, we will start to see some wet weather coming in across

Scotland and Northern Ireland. That is how Sunday greets us. Brit winds

in the North and a spell of heavy rain for a tie and drifting south.

Some grey and murky weather in the south, but hopefully holding on to

some fine weather. I must mention the Great North Run. A couple of

colleagues are taking part and they colleagues are taking part and they

say it is perfect weather for runners. It will not be too warm.
