I feel this is the most dangerous phase in my life he's planning an accident in my car brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path in October 1996 Princess Diana predicted her own death in this letter to her Butler Paul Burrell two weeks ago he released the letter blanking out the name of the person Diana believed was plotting her murder the problem that the establishment will have is that they have covered up at the inquest never been an inquest they have not allowed a public inquiry into what happened to Diana in this country and that has fuelled already conspiracy theories for the last six years and what today's that it will do is simply give credence to the view that there was more to it than meets the eye and we should have some form of formal investigation there was an official French inquiry into the deaths of Diana and Dodi al-fayed an inquiry that ruled out foul play but six years on there's still be no inquest in Britain the coroner's Act states there has to be an inquest if bodies are brought back here for burial and that is what happened on August the 31st 1997 the Act says the inquest has to be held as soon as practicable the Tattler is the magazine of the rich and chic it's close to the establishment but its editor is now leading a campaign for that inquest and why has the most famous woman possibly in the 20th century who died in mysterious circumstances not five which is legally entitled to which is an inquest I mean it is an obligation under the law not a nicety is not something which he we might feel was polite or or decent to do it is a legal obligation at 20 minutes past midnight on the 31st of August 1997 Princess Diana and Dodi al-fayed set out from the Ritz Hotel in central Paris and of the four people in her Mercedes only the bodyguard Trevor Rhys Jones would survive two hours after the crash French police arrested seven paparazzi for manslaughter their high-speed chase had caused the deaths 30 hours later the French authorities changed the story dramatically now the fault was the drivers orrery Paul was drunk and on medication following a French government inquiry in 1999 this explanation remains the official cause of the accident and the deaths of Diana Dodi and their driver but now we know that the official version is deeply flawed the investigating magistrate and the prosecution wanted to come to an end because there was too much pressure because no one would know the real truth anyway so it had to be stopped so it was stopped and of course not everything has been acquired on we've been allowed to film the 27 volumes of confidential evidence the French inquiry gathered none of these documents have been seen before the files raised a number of very worrying questions about the inquiry why was the scene of the accident scrubbed clean and opened within four hours of the crash destroying valuable forensic evidence why was the traffic police investigation not included in the official inquiry report why was the first witness on the scene ignored and silenced by the police why was the autopsy carried out on Omri Paul so blatantly inaccurate and why were the secret service connections of both already Paul and another key witness never properly explored one of our discoveries was this photograph of the Mercedes and its occupants taken just seconds before the crash many vital questions have never been properly pursued let alone answered and that appears to be no accident in July in 1997 Princess Diana and her children spent two weeks in San Tropez as guests of the AL fayeeds she was a free woman just divorced and just out of a two-year love affair three weeks later Diana went back without her children to join the al-fayed family on their new 12 million pound yacht the Johnny cow during the cruise Diana made very public her new romance with Dodi al-fayed the couple gave great headlines princess of the paradox Diana yo-yoed between posing for stills and pleading for privacy on Saturday the 30th of August Diana Dodi and bodyguard Trevor Rhys Jones flew by private plane from Sardinia where the Johnny Cal had more [Music] they were bound for Paris where they were met at the airport by paparazzi including photographer Fabrice Shah Suri his pictures caught a moment in history know what they were it just been filled to the southern dragon like they began the first time the four people who would drive in the doom Mercedes ever met Lanois as family only Table five ever when you would that one by they're on a bluff swirl Oh a bully Dody was close to Omri Paul deputy head of security at the Ritz he's one of the key personalities of the night and a man with a complicated past gone reap all who was the second in charge of security the Ritz Hotel and it was sort of press going into being the show for that night at the last minute he he was a long-standing agent for mi6 agent in terms of supplying information to mi6 about the goings-on in the Ritz Hotel in return for cash and he'd been working for mi6 since well I'd seen his file for the first time in 1992 and from memory he'd been working for mi6 for a few years prior to them The Secret Service connection was confirmed by Paul's best friend okay no later [Music] the first official warrant the inquiry faced a politically sensitive issue deciding how much of ory Paul's past it could reveal and this was not the only difficult decision arie Paul accompanied diana and dodi to the villa windsor the mansion Edward the eighth the mrs. Simpson had lived in in Paris a property the al-fayed family had bought I think she was aware that she was a potential Duchess of Windsor a sort of loose cannon who they were gonna watch very carefully and she was not averse to upsetting them and I think she quite enjoyed how much the affair with Dodi would upset everybody back in Buckingham Palace as indeed it did and but in your face nests within her nature they drove to Dodi's flat number one rule are San Jose near there 12 Dodie had booked a table at a smart Parisian restaurant but had a quarter to ten he canceled because there was a crowd outside diana and dodi returned to the ritz the great hotel owned by dodi's father Mohammed al-fayed the couple ate in the restaurant she had sold he had turbot and then they went up to the 6000 pound a nice Imperial suite previous occupants included Hermann Goering Winston Churchill and Woody Allen re Paul left work at 7 p.m. two hours later he was asked to return to the Ritz re Paul's ultimate boss at the Ritz is also the owner of Harrods in London Mohammed al-fayed still Ponder's what happened that night bloody and call me was about 12 o'clock he say just I'm going now to the apartment and he told me a lot of paparazzi I don't what I do the Place Vendome is full of people I told him please it's so dangerous just stay and I Hotel everything is there no need for you to go out he told me I think I will follow your advice why after Dodi assured me that he is not going to go out poor Henry Poole gone to him at 12 o'clock after that he talking to me and convinced him no problem we're gonna go from the back entrance everything is ok don't worry I know the way and please you know because you have already prepared everything there changed his mind fat Dodi followed him up and he said because if old Irishman's there they have the champagne day of the party there in their pond re-poll part-time mi6 man would help Dodi devised a plan to outwit the paparazzi this amateur video is the only record of what was happening outside at the front of the Ritz tourists and paparazzi wait for the glamorous couple re-poll tells the crowd the couple will be leaving soon in this their Mercedes five minutes later the clever ploy a second Mercedes pulls up by the back door of the Ritz re Paul Princess Diana Dodi and Trevor Rhys Jones get in Paul takes the wheel meanwhile at the front of the Ritz people scramble into their cars realizing they've been fooled using two Mercedes might not be vintage James Bond but it gave Diana and Dodi 's car a head start the quickest way from the Ritz to dodi's flat was up the shores Alizee but at the Concorde the car turned left instead of right it then raced along the riverbanks of the sand it was now actually going away from dodi's flat but the French inquiry never asked why they were taking this route it is a mystery why they were where they were because there are many different ways of getting to the apartment that they were going to at the top of the Shoals at Lee's day without going via the shoals alizée where they were it's inexplicable our access to the files reveals that most witnesses did not see the actual crash because they were either at the entrance or the exit of the tunnel it's amazing that one crucial witness who was behind the Mercedes was ignored by the inquiry his name is Eric Patel [Music] visual examination that L was not the only person to hear a strange noise Clive Guru voodoo who was on the bridge above the outlet tunnels he also was a chauffeur and he was his car was parked and he was waiting for the people he was waiting for to come out of their restaurant or cinema or something and he was having a cigarette on on the bridge over the Alma tunnel and he heard this this car coming towards him and and he heard a very loud noise and he his conclusion I think was that this person driving that car had actually engaged neutral and then pressed the accelerator that was the sound of a racing engine not in gear which he described [Music] arie Paul and Dodi al-fayed died almost instantly yeah finito mr. Shi yeah yeah yeah you said yourself that L went to this phone box and rang the emergency services then he went to the nearest police station he was badly shaken [Music] [Music] he was cheeto Princess Diana was very badly hurt when she hit the back of Trevor Rhys Jones his seat but she was not trapped in the metal under a flash the full damage is clear at 20 to 1:00 in the morning Paris Chief Constable Pierre Matheny was told of the crash he woke his boss the Minister of the Interior and then made for the tunnel Princess Diana was lifted out and put in one of the three ambulances that had arrived by 12:40 by 2:00 a.m. police chief Missoni and the French Minister of the Interior became worried because Diana's ambulance had still not reached the hospital it stopped twice in fact first one kilometer from the tunnel and then on the bridge just 300 yards from the hospital the French press were told this was because Diana's blood pressure was so low it took over 1 hour and 10 minutes for Diana to reach the hospital a distance of 3 miles the inquiry never raised the disturbing question did this delay almost guarantee Diana would die [Music] the victim of a hidden exit on the circulation along detest late the immediate Murphy dr.

Missoni but he has never responded that night the police briefed the press the Patel was lying Perry matches chief reporter had the story from Patel's lawyer three days later detective lets you me show me my future soldier we profess Imam to save like y4d don't burn up my country sake patella case Peter says show Peter just say ki little here don't scream sir yeah as you say he laid the table she paralegal criminal a Paki by suppressing Patel's evidence the French could blame the photographer's from early September patel's lawyer asked the inquiry to hear his client they only agreed to do so seven months later then the inquiry asked the police to explain why Patel's original statement had been lost so she did not see a gentle develop Elise yo voy a llevar possible kappa japanese history pal want to come over painted we [Music] only know Minato Tokyo she - Rupa security Rajan Oh Papa trivia condition idiot ammonia the police first claimed Patel was a liar and second that he didn't speak clearly enough yes there had been a call to the emergency services as Patel claimed but the caller said he was speaking from our mama so not alma mater no such place as our mama so exists Herod's head of security had worked at Scotland Yard for 26 years my first concern was I had learned that the bodyguards had decided not to deploy a backup vehicle protection vehicle which was contrary to all of our own rules that surprised me greatly I was also very surprised when I learned particularly from television footage that the French police had not isolated the tunnel to preserve it for evidence whether this was something other than a traffic accident or not something of this magnitude involved in Diana Princess of Wales the scene should have been preserved these extraordinary images are from that night Bearville settlement are versatile a casino player Putin el dólar maewnam dilemma at school a wow land area FYE it is yoga's city to joe germaine may basically completement with the Assam Ibaka Sophia Pascal City tiene la diva satin ganda fair a German secular police of a salmonella reginella follow many may city shortly before dawn the property the Perry the green vehicles which sweep the streets sprayed detergent in the tunnel not the best way of preserving forensic evidence was it a cleanup or a cover up the whole Diana factor does along the establishment she has this volcanic capacity to cause great grief dismay lack of logic distract from from the main purpose of the royal family and certainly an inquest could throw up some uncomfortable questions [Music] the most famous woman in the world had died [Music] as Diana's body was brought back to Britain everyone here expected a thorough investigation like an inquest but France does not have public inquests the government appointed a middle ranking judge Herve is Stefan to carry out an inquiry into what caused the deaths he worked two rules that haven't changed much since Napoleon first of all you have something which is called a secrecy or in the investigation in France that means that apart from the investigating judge and the parties the parties being really really limited to the lawyers and the prosecutor no one has access to the prosecution no one has access to the five they wouldn't have access to the evidence so the media don't know anything the public does not know anything and nobody can verify what's in the file over there they have the inquisitorial system where an officer of the state conducts the inquiry with the assistance of the police and of course all officers of the state are paid by the state and beholden to the state and one is so on say in no circumstances skeptical as to whether or not there can be interference from above [Music] the standard accident investigation carried out by French traffic police has never been made public and does not form part of the official report but Patrick Chevelle a well known French photographer did speak at some length to traffic police who carried out the original investigation they made their own investigation of course but then they had pressure from the ELISA who told him to keep it low no and they were not very happy about that because they made their own inquiry and that's their job so they don't like to be pushed you know when they're doing their job honestly 36 hours after the crash the French authorities changed their view it was no longer the fault of the paparazzi but a drink driving accident an explanation they still insist to be true good evening the Paris prosecutor's office disclosed today that the driver of the car in which Princess Diana was fatally injured had an illegal blood alcohol level he said to be more than three times over the French limit then twice the British one there was also more evidence today about the speed at which the car was traveling when it crashed the police saw said the speedometer was found frozen at more than a hundred and twenty miles an hour within just over 24 hours of this crash when it was put out that this was caused by a drunk driver a person drunk as a pig driving at 192 kilometers they were false statements they were certainly false statements then and we know they're false statements now and one of the reasons we know there is that the statement as to the drink drive was put out before on reposed body samples had even been fully analyzed so they didn't have an an analysis report of this and yet it was put out that he was drunk severely drunk they also said that the speedometer of the car was stuck at 192 kilometers per hour that was refuted immediately by Mercedes themselves who said on impact the speedometer of the car reverts to zero now that's something they had to conceive right away the files showed the inquiry tried to work out the speed of the car Mercedes were paid to carry out crash tests although their experts were never allowed to inspect the vehicle but what is not in the files is another picture which could have given a quick and clear answer to the speed a Chevelle heard from the traffic police well this Guy'd woman was pissed of the pressure and he said I'm going to show you something and if ever this goes bad maybe I'll forget the photo on my office and you can sort of take it and it was a photo taken by the flash of there's a flash there's a camera in the they was it's gone now at the entrance of that tunnel and you know those flash pictures when you go over 60 kilometers an hour which is the speed limit there's sort of flashes of frontal flash so you can see the people in the car you can recognize them and on that picture you could recognize absolutely everybody in the car and it says the speed and the date and what are the people in the car like well the driver was normal if I can say so I mean no I didn't know his face before he looks at him the guy on the right side looks tense he seems a little bit afraid maybe the car is going too fast and the people in the back are just laughing their heads off having fun we are Chevelle why that photo had never been released when they made their first comment to the press the official comment was that the flash didn't work at that time but then somebody found out that the guy who was driving like five minutes before ten minutes before in his normal car got 15 days later his ticket the files showed the final estimate was that the car crashed at around 65 miles an hour but that was never published two days after the crash French police stressed the car's speed and how drunk the driver was but the evidence for that is poor these enhanced images are from the Ritz's own video they show that 30 minutes before the crash re-pour squats and ties his shoelaces he transfers his weight gracefully from left to right and gets up again without a hitch or stumble [Music] Paul spent two hours before setting off from the Ritz in the company of travel reasons did Trevor exchange have any feeling that hoary Paul was drunk no none whatsoever he would in fact not permitted in any shape or form about anybody had suspicions having drunk to drive a car that was that was an essential part of his job to ensure the couple security the autopsy on honoree Paul was carried out by Professor Dominique Hawkins at dr. Gilbert pepper they concluded that re Paul's blood had one point seven four grams of alcohol twice the legal limit in Britain he also had legal medication and an average of twenty point seven percent of carbon monoxide the carbon monoxide reading is bizarre because such a high level leads to erratic behavior I'm elated don't know what this lesion is you put up a portable defend oh man you know they bad people in love with your piece of shit oh man we got you got a dog leash upon delivery the first thing we wanted was an independent postmortem and that was denied denied without reason they wouldn't give a reason why we couldn't have one we then asked for an independent analysis of these body samples and that was denied we then asked whether we could be present at any subsequent examination of on RuPaul's body and that was denied all of these things without reason the police got a search warrant for re Paul's flat his friend Garrick had the keys and watched issue command anytime patient real hot for the it a common antibiotic is gonna draw fella naturally and who they do nothing's on Figueroa give a party exactly they do care some records of some bad extraordinaire allah communicates to the convention and well I'm glad you maybe did not come today to coca-cola to say we do the word to coca-cola light because this a person I feel right initiation a patient about the more a new girl only money soft iconic oriented anybody come on cinematographer yellow the Paul family would denied access to the material in these bottles their son's blood and urine samples backed by Al Fayed they got four of Europe's top pathologists to examine the post-mortem report they dissected the autopsy and listed 28 critical errors that made the procedure unreliable these included that the autopsy was not timed no proper description was given of how his body was identified no explanation was given for the 20.7 percent of carbon monoxide the final conclusions of the for pathologists were damning the results on carbon monoxide in the blood are inexplicable as inexplicable as the attitude of dr. pepper and professor Luke aunts who continue to present arguments which have no rigor and no scientific value to justify their results the hypothesis that there was a mixup in the samples needs to be seriously considered 22 other corpses were in the morgue that night the Paul family backed by Al Fayed sued the state to obtain their son samples so they could do a DNA test to check it was really his blood the French Attorney General took over the case but so far the family has not succeeded the judge said privately that the blood was the great mystery of the affair but he did not probe further his similar failure to probe re Paul's security connections surprised Richard Tomlinson I do find really strange that Judge Stephan didn't really I mean I was expecting him to go through in great detail all the details of the file and I mean you know I could have given him enough information to for him to have you know identified which file it was and he could have I mean it takes a brave magistrate to do it but he could have you know it's asked for a subpoena of the father through the British government and ask for a file and that's mechanisms to do that you could do that oh really oh yeah yeah yeah you can whether mi6 would agree to it I don't know but if it was sufficient pressure then they would have to yeah this was only one of a number of lines of inquiry the French refused to pursue for Mohamed al-fayed it was a personal tragedy but it could also have become a business problem Trevor Rhys Jones's lawyers wanted the inquiry to consider whether the Ritz and the firm that owned the Mercedes Atwell limousine might have been negligent the Mercedes Diana used had been stolen three months earlier and it's electronics ripped out had the repairs being properly carried out we tried to reorient the investigation especially towards the 20 moussine and Ritz but that the by that time investigating magistrate and the prosecution wanted to come to an end because there was too much pressure because no one would know the real truth anyway so it had to be stopped so it was stopped and of course not everything has been acquired 27 volumes of facts speculation and evidence reveal another enigma Dody had his mobile phone that night and yet astonishingly when the police logged all the possessions of the victims they found he had no papers no lighter no cigarettes and certainly no mobile phone all that was on his body was 1000 francs did you get the impression that stuff had been found in the car which we were not told about yes they found stuff in the car which was not especially unusual and lots of car accidents you have dope but it's the dope was not in the drivers hand he was in the passenger so so what but well they didn't like is the pressure suddenly the Alizee told him to keep it low a high-ranking police source confirmed to us Patrick chauvel's claims that illegal drugs were found in the car and the existence of the speed camera photo which has never been produced some evidence seems to have gone missing some evidence doesn't seem to have been followed up in the files we also found this photograph taken between 20 and 22 minutes past midnight there is one picture or two which is obviously taken from before the cars but he has to be has to drive before the car to take that picture especially since you've see Trevor Rhys Jones looking into the mirror but I can't say exactly where that a picture was taken it was obviously taken somewhere in the tunnel but I can't say if it's in the beginning of the taro in the middle or after some sort of accidental yes so who took this photo we may never know 17 days after the crash the paparazzi were no longer under arrest for manslaughter but was still charged with failure to help the victims the enquiry had leaked ori paul was drunk then another new development which appeared to explain how the accident happened the police said they'd found debris from a white Fiat Uno in the tunnel it was suggested the Fiat was in front of the Mercedes the Mercedes wing mirror was found at this point with traces of another cars paintwork and shards of a Fiat taillight the Mercedes was thrown into the right hand wall then hurled across into the 13th pillar in the middle of the tunnel the police started a massive search operation but only questioned owners have white Fiat who knows in the paris area they drew a blank but Alfa as detectives did better and track down this fear to know its rear tail lies had been fixed and it belonged to a paparazzi they weren't you his name was James Anderson his past was even more mysterious than or appalls James uh no saw made no secret of the fact he had a white fear to know when French television profiled him three years ago yes it did what your cat was haben sie Megiddo met but now you Denisha fickle capitalist with genja needy essential cab fare I see been a sober sober to look at picture if I kill Co photo dream on in mahogany the ovule Bodhisattva Bay Rhodesia a pleasure do some Akira Maeda regular ocular shit fosselman's I mean Elma deal artist got you some milk in America dude in what you well if you will be a pessimist demarcated on me more toward me among social some cosmic irremediable month during the summer Diana had been photographed by James and also he was a paparazzi with political connections at the highest level he was the official photographer to one French Prime Minister and friendly enough with another Leonel saucepan to share a motorbike with him yet French Special Branch was so worried by his history they'd started to investigate him as one of their senior officers revealed to us Honda clearly perceived visual roots on a yacht who should prevail at Frances yet tricky for money but a normally but the latest religious man he Popeye you know me in your position Richard Tomlinson recalls a figure like other soul in mi6 mi6 have a look have a Carter of people who have their own profession their own life they do their own jobs that can be barristers there can be all sorts of things who just happened to have a skill which is occasion useful to mi6 and they kind of work on a short-term contractual basis for mi6 they had one guy who was a photographer and his normal job was as a paparazzi photographer but occasionally he would do work for mi6 French security services had evidence on our song was in the maternal Easter sir level they don't so long to hardly keep adopted there were members on photography mmm she stays on good ladies and stone the demotion from the mother the lettuces DN a-- sit on my nationality no cement was the widow of one of auto Souls friends confirmed he had boasted to them he was at the scene [Music] Oh James and also evident effort isn't issue yeah Villa de poche the numbers personality on street to French Special Branch became interested in on also when they noticed he'd been the last person to photograph and one of the last to talk with Pierre beregovoy it many people in dvj swapper an service with a service swapnika yes after memoria vetted Oh surely the name version able to complement in personality and also physician notification on your own on a evoke a lenient of a warrant on so Eric discharges on blue service once a sudden affirmative formal movie may certainly protest before backs clear appears of to the conditions with my us understand all in June 2000 and also apparently committed suicide by setting fire to himself in his car on this piece of our meal and he left no suicide note his body was found by French commandos both friends and even the funeral director are very skeptical that Allah saw really killed himself none of this was ever mentioned by the French inquiry under British law there has to be an inquest into the death of any British subject who dies abroad in mysterious or unexplained circumstances now that was obviously the case with Princess Diana and Dodi al-fayed but though they died in 1997 no inquest was opened until 2004 the royal coroner then did two things first he formally opened the inquest and second he asked the ex Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Britain's top cop if you like Lord Stevens to investigate how the French had investigated the crash those Stephens took a team to Paris he got access to all kinds of documents which investigators and journalists obviously found it hard to get to and he said rather cryptically that there really was something wrong with the way the French had gone about the investigation we've got new witnesses and new forensic evidence but then we have another shock in June 2006 by then everybody thought Lord Stevens would soon issue his report and everybody thought the coroner would finally open the inquest properly but suddenly the coroner then announced that the inquests into Princess Diana and Dodi al-fayed was simply too time-consuming and he had to resign so we now find ourselves in the very strange position that there has to be an inquest the inquest has been opened but there is nobody to run the Ingres James R da saw was only one reason why there was pressure not to explore certain irregularities about the Accident Investigation the first witness on the scene was ignored and deliberately discredited a proper traffic accident investigation was apparently suppressed and the victims possessions had apparently vanished the dead drivers autopsy was clearly flawed it formed the basis for the main conclusion that drunk driving was to blame the driver and another key witness had strong Secret Service connections but these were never explore to blame the driver or reap all as the French authorities have done maybe convenient even politic but the true causes of the crash a complex and murky the revelation that diana predicted she would be the victim of a so-called accident has sparked even more calls for an inquest its third class treatment for a first class president it's very difficult to get to the root of why they have delayed the road rather feeble excuses like we're waiting for the French Enquirer well the French inquiries over there are feeble excuses like we want to make sure we can get all the witnesses well the same witnesses are there as ever have been that certainly when CLE quest openly 2006 we probably won't see any because both early 2007 and the best guesses that maybe it will open in 2008 11 years after the crash in the helmet on you
