They had this falling out, this dispute, yards away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And it was partly caught on CCTV. You could see ASAP Rocky pulling out a gun. But he always claimed that this gun wasn't real. It was a prop gun that he said he just carried for security. But his friend or former friend A$AP Relly said that he had shots fired at him and that they grazed his knuckles.

So the jury had to decide who was telling the truth. Now, this was a celebrity trial. And like a lot of these types of celebrity court cases, the focus was very much on the characters involved. Because, of course, A$AP Rocky's partner, Das ist ein musikalischer Megastar. Rihanna, die Sängerin, kam auf viele Tage zur Stimme, um ihren Partner zu unterstützen.

Und auf einer dieser Tage brachte sie ihre zwei Kinder, einen und einen zweijährigen. Das hat natürlich Headlines gemacht, aber es gab eine Verletzung für ihre Familie, weil der Rapper A$AP Rocky, wenn er verurteilt wurde, hätte er mehr als 20 Jahre im Gefängnis verbracht. Aber die Jury fand ihn nicht verurteilt, also ist er ein freier Mann.

Ja, das ist eine gute Frage. Ich meine, der Rap-Welt ist kein Auferstandener von Feuds und Fallouts. Und es ist eine Art Kultur von Ehren und Respekt. Und wenn das falsch geht, kann es wirklich, wirklich schlecht gehen. Es wurde gesagt, dass A$AP Rocky seine Karriere wirklich aufgenommen hat.

Er war argumentierlich der größte Famous aus den beiden von ihnen und der größte Famous aus dem Hip-Hop-Kollektiv, von dem sie Teil waren. Perhaps some jealousy, there were some arguments over money, it was alleged as well. So just the old things that really lead to friendships breaking down, especially when there's fame and money involved.

So something that probably could have been a storm in a teacup potentially was life-changing for these two men and created this big courtroom drama that of course lots of people followed because the celebrities were in court.

Now, I've been speaking to a former security guard who we're calling Henry, and over the course of two interviews, he told me that many black members of staff at Harrods would leave the shop floor before Mohamed Al-Fayed's daily tours of the store.

Multiple wildfires raging in Los Angeles
Along with those members of staff, Henry also described others who didn't fit a certain look, leaving the building via an underground passageway which connected the main store with to an office across the road. He said they would then file back in once Mohammed Al-Fayed had gone.

I asked him how it would work when Al-Fayed was about to arrive on the shop floor and Henry's words are spoken by an actor.

Well, Henry told us he was never close enough to Al-Fayed when he was walking around the shop floor to see how he interacted with the women who were allowed to stay. I asked him for further clarification about why he thought some people left the shop floor before Mohammed Al-Fayed toured the store.

Henry also clarified that some non-white door guards did stay on the door. We've actually spoken to three women who worked at Harrods in various roles who've helped corroborate Henry's claims. One of the women, Anna, said that while she was hiring for jobs, she was told not to hire anyone who was black. because the customers wouldn't like it.

Ukraine: 'Moscow bombs boarding school'
So just under 100 years ago, the University of Nottingham invited Albert Einstein to come and tell everybody in the physics department all about his new theories of general relativity, which are the idea of how space-time works, how the universe works. He was friends with one of the heads of department here. And so on the evening, he was due to give a lecture

Ukraine: 'Moscow bombs boarding school'
He did turn up late, which is very Einstein. But he ended up getting distracted by Isaac Newton's house in Lincolnshire on the way. But he did turn up. And what he did was he spoke in German about all of these theories, all of these mathematical equations. And as he was doing so, we had one of the physicists actually translating from German to English.

and also he was transcribing the mathematical equations on a blackboard. It's one of very few blackboards in existence and the only signed one that we know of at all. There's one more in the UK at the University of Oxford. There were two but somebody unfortunately cleaned one of them so this is a very very rare item and it's got a wonderful signature and a date right at the bottom of it.

Erdogan condemns Turkey protests as dozens arrested
I think it is serious. This statement today has talked about using all military and civilian means of pressure. So it does seem like he is trying to give the impression that the Israeli military now is prepared to use any means possible in order to return the hostages from Gaza. So we've seen in the past days the ground forces start to return hostages.

Slowly and only in limited campaigns, but starting to return to parts of the Gaza Strip where previously they had withdrawn from at the beginning of the ceasefire deal.

We understand that there isn't, from Israeli commentators, such a great deal of support for that. There are those on the right in Israel, including the settlement movement, those who often are settling in the West Bank or who previously indeed settled in Gaza until those settlements were deconstructed around 20 years ago.

Erdogan condemns Turkey protests as dozens arrested
There is a desire by some to reoccupy Gaza, and that's why we saw when President Trump said put forward his plan to turn the Gaza Strip into the Riviera of the Middle East and this kind of playground for international leisure. There were some inside the Israeli government and indeed the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came out in favour of it.
Global News Podcast
Erdogan condemns Turkey protests as dozens arrested
saying that this was a plan that they wanted to pursue. However, opinion polls suggest that the majority don't favour that, and neither does the Israeli military. Military figures, security officials in it, see a myriad of problems and complexities in terms of administrating Gaza day-to-day, directing traffic, being responsible for the reconstruction of Gaza in whatever form it might take.

So there are different views, even within the government and the security establishment.

I mean, Hamas has said in the past few days that they are prepared to return to the negotiating table, that they are in fact still there and that they continue to study the different proposals put forward, not only by Hamas, the US but other mediators including Egypt.
Global News Podcast
Erdogan condemns Turkey protests as dozens arrested
Obviously Israel's increased pressure in the past few days is intense in a military sense but also on the civilian population where now for over two weeks there's been no aid entering the Gaza Strip, no food going in there. So the pressure is intense on Hamas, but still the crux of this comes down to the fact that Israel, for their part, want to renegotiate the original ceasefire deal.
Global News Podcast
Erdogan condemns Turkey protests as dozens arrested
So they want to try and extract further hostages from the Gaza Strip, but they don't want to commit to a permanent cessation of the war and discussing the next day after of the war and what kind of administration might be there. Whereas Hamas, on their part, are trying to do exactly that. They want to use the remaining hostages to try and get in return some sort of win for their part.
