:00:21. > :00:26.The Prime Minister has admitted he could have handled the recent row

:00:27. > :00:31.It followed his admission, earlier in the week that he did

:00:32. > :00:34.invest in an offshore trust set up by his late father.

:00:35. > :00:36.Speaking to Conservative activists, he said he should take

:00:37. > :00:39.the blame for the way in which the news was dealt with.

:00:40. > :00:41.Our Political Correspondent Carole Walker reports.

:00:42. > :00:47.Demonstrators gathered to leave the Prime Minister in no doubt

:00:48. > :00:49.about the strength of feeling amongst some people

:00:50. > :00:55.They were out to attack his government for a tax system

:00:56. > :01:01.The Prime Minister said he had been very angry about what some had said

:01:02. > :01:04.about his late father, who founded an offshore fund.

:01:05. > :01:08.But, he said, that should not have clouded the picture.

:01:09. > :01:18.I know that I should have handled this better.

:01:19. > :01:25.I know that there are lessons to learn, and I will learn them.

:01:26. > :01:28.Don't blame Number Ten or nameless advisers.

:01:29. > :01:35.David Cameron's promised to learn lessons from his handling of this

:01:36. > :01:38.row, to be open and transparent in future, to publish

:01:39. > :01:43.But Labour say this matter raises questions about his

:01:44. > :01:49.Most Tories seem to be rallying around their leader.

:01:50. > :01:52.But the London Mayor Boris Johnson chose not to lend his support

:01:53. > :01:58.Boris, is it morally wrong to avoid tax by investing in

:01:59. > :02:08.It took David Cameron several days to admits that he and his wife

:02:09. > :02:11.did have shares in his late father's offshore fund, which they sold

:02:12. > :02:15.for ?30,000 before he became Prime Minister.

:02:16. > :02:25.And there is no suggestion he has done anything illegal.

:02:26. > :02:28.The Labour leader has accused Mr Cameron of misleading people

:02:29. > :02:32.It's not about an individual, it's not about one person,

:02:33. > :02:38.It's about an ethos where the very rich are able to put their money

:02:39. > :02:41.into tax havens and avoid income tax, sometimes also a zero

:02:42. > :02:46.The Prime Minister insists he has acted to address the concerns

:02:47. > :02:54.of protesters like these, closing the tax loophole.

:02:55. > :02:58.And insuring greater international transparency on tax.

:02:59. > :03:01.He will be hoping that by releasing unprecedented detail on his personal

:03:02. > :03:03.finances that he can convince the public

:03:04. > :03:09.David Cameron wanting to draw a line under this.

:03:10. > :03:18.I think David Cameron has realised after a pretty bruising week that he

:03:19. > :03:23.does need to do more if he is going to be able to move on from this.

:03:24. > :03:27.That's why we are going to get, later tonight, his tax returns going

:03:28. > :03:32.back six years. Downing Street know that is going to be yet another day

:03:33. > :03:36.of headlines about his personal finances, another phase in this

:03:37. > :03:40.story. Labour are showing no signs of being prepared to let this matter

:03:41. > :03:44.drop. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has suggested a public

:03:45. > :03:48.enquiry into the revelations of the Panama papers, about the scale of

:03:49. > :03:52.the use of international tax havens. They want a statement from the Prime

:03:53. > :03:56.Minister when Parliament returns on Monday. But there is some irritation

:03:57. > :04:00.in Downing Street at some of the personal attacks from Labour on

:04:01. > :04:04.calling into question the Prime Minister'spersonal integrity. They

:04:05. > :04:10.believe that by revealing this unprecedented amount of detail about

:04:11. > :04:11.the Prime Minister's personal finances, they can demonstrate that

:04:12. > :04:15.he has nothing to hide. Thank you. Coastguards have found

:04:16. > :04:18.the bodies of two fishermen, missing after their trawler sank off

:04:19. > :04:26.the Western Isles of Scotland. They responded after receiving a

:04:27. > :04:30.distress call in the early hours of the morning. One crew member has

:04:31. > :04:33.been rescued but another is still missing.

:04:34. > :04:36.Let's go live to our correspondent James Shaw at Prestwick Airport,

:04:37. > :04:39.from where one of the rescue helicopters set off this morning.

:04:40. > :04:47.That's right, and it was a big operation to try to find the boat

:04:48. > :04:53.registered in Stornoway. It only started work about seven years ago.

:04:54. > :04:59.It involved the lifeboat from a nearby island close to the southern

:05:00. > :05:05.tip of the Western Isles. Prestwick and Ayrshire helicopters, and from

:05:06. > :05:08.Stornoway, and when the aircraft arrived at the scene, it spotted

:05:09. > :05:14.wreckage and also a survivor who had managed to make his way to the

:05:15. > :05:19.rocks. He was winched onto the helicopter, taken to Hospital and it

:05:20. > :05:22.was discovered he was not seriously injured. Meanwhile the lifeboat had

:05:23. > :05:25.discovered two bodies in the water me they were recovered and the

:05:26. > :05:30.search continued for the fourth member. After a period of time, a

:05:31. > :05:34.judgment had to be made that that person's chances of surviving had

:05:35. > :05:39.become very small, and the search was scaled down. Now the marine

:05:40. > :05:40.investigators will try to find out why this sinking happened. Thank

:05:41. > :05:42.you. The Archbishop of Canterbury,

:05:43. > :05:50.Justin Welby, has discovered his -- he is the son of Sir Winston

:05:51. > :05:55.Churchill's last private secretary. The Archbishop said a DNA test had

:05:56. > :05:59.revealed his real father to be Sir Anthony Montague Browne not

:06:00. > :06:02.Gavin Welby, the man Justin Welby is currently in Zambia,

:06:03. > :06:07.meeting local Christians and digesting a revelation

:06:08. > :06:09.that came, he said, The resemblance between

:06:10. > :06:13.the Archbishop and Sir Anthony He had hoped to dispel

:06:14. > :06:17.rumours they were related. Sir Anthony was Winston Churchill's

:06:18. > :06:19.last private secretary. The Archbishop's mother also

:06:20. > :06:22.worked with Churchill, and it seems the pair went to bed

:06:23. > :06:24.together immediately Shortly before Easter,

:06:25. > :06:31.the Archbishop agreed to a DNA Swabs from inside his cheek

:06:32. > :06:36.were compared with hairs found on a brush that had once belonged

:06:37. > :06:39.to Sir Anthony Montague Browne. The result, near certainty

:06:40. > :06:42.that Sir Anthony was Justin Welby's mother married

:06:43. > :06:50.Gavin Welby in 1955. Their baby son was born

:06:51. > :06:52.nine months later. The Archbishop's childhood

:06:53. > :06:59.was, he says, messy. The man he thought was his

:07:00. > :07:03.father died in 1977. In a statement today,

:07:04. > :07:30.he said too many families Friends believe the revelation won't

:07:31. > :07:33.change him. I think it will make a difference, in some ways, to lots of

:07:34. > :07:36.other people who have discovered their biological parents are

:07:37. > :07:40.different to those they thought they were, rather later in life. They

:07:41. > :07:45.will identify with the Archbishop's story, and he will with them, so I

:07:46. > :07:52.think it will increase his Pastoral sensitivity even more. His mother,

:07:53. > :07:57.now Lady Jane Williams, said today, this DNA evidence, say many years

:07:58. > :08:00.after Gavin's death has come as an unbelievable shock. Admitting to a

:08:01. > :08:04.relationship, she said, it appears that the precautions taken at the

:08:05. > :08:08.time didn't work and my wonderful son was conceived as a result of

:08:09. > :08:13.this liaison. The Archbishop says he is proud of his mother, who gave up

:08:14. > :08:19.drinking 1968 and became a pillar of the community. As for himself, he

:08:20. > :08:22.says he found in God the father he lacked in real life.

:08:23. > :08:25.Four more suspects have been charged with participating in terrorist acts

:08:26. > :08:27.linked to the deadly suicide bombings in Brussels.

:08:28. > :08:29.The four men, who were arrested on Friday,

:08:30. > :08:32.include Mohamed Abrini, who was also wanted

:08:33. > :08:34.in connection with the attacks in Paris last November.

:08:35. > :08:36.Prosecutors says it's still unclear whether he's the so-called

:08:37. > :08:40."man in the hat" caught on CCTV at Brussels Airport.

:08:41. > :08:45.David Cameron has launched the Conservatives' campaign

:08:46. > :08:48.for the local elections in England, insisting his party is the only

:08:49. > :08:50.one that can be trusted to keep taxes down.

:08:51. > :08:53.He says voters face a clear choice between what he called

:08:54. > :08:55.the "competence" of strong Conservative councils

:08:56. > :09:04.In the last half hour, a thrilling race was won

:09:05. > :09:07.by Rule The World, a 33-1 outsider making its steeplechase debut.

:09:08. > :09:21.Yes, Rule The World, 33-1, a very aptly named winner of this famous

:09:22. > :09:26.race. Beforehand, all of the talk was about last year's when a Many

:09:27. > :09:32.macro clouds, trying to make history by becoming the first horse since

:09:33. > :09:36.red Rum in the 1970s to win back-to-back Grand Nationals. Before

:09:37. > :09:40.the race, we had a downpour that made conditions particularly

:09:41. > :09:46.testing. Many Clouds was in contention but fell away towards the

:09:47. > :09:53.end. In the closing stages, it was a 3-way sprint between Rule The World,

:09:54. > :09:58.the Last Samurai and another horse. Rule The World held on to win in a

:09:59. > :10:03.thrilling finish. Victory for his 19-year-old jockey David Mullins, in

:10:04. > :10:10.his first ever National. What a day for him. An emotional win for the

:10:11. > :10:14.Irish trainer Mouse Morris. Only 12 of the 39 starters finished the

:10:15. > :10:21.race. The good news, for the fourth year running, all of the horses have

:10:22. > :10:22.returned home safely. That is all for now. I will be
