americans tuned in — fair to say they had more sympathy for harry and meghan than for the palace. also in the programme... americans who have been fully vaccinated can now meet each other indoors without wearing masks, under new guidance issued today by the cdc. and they are back — the welsh goats that occupied llandudno. and they mean business. this time — they have taken primark. hello, i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. the queen has faced many crises in the 68 years of her reign. the death of diana princess of wales, the collapse of three of her childrens�* marriages — and now this. the interview, as it's being called, ranks pretty high on that list of dramas. this spectacular fallout with the sussexes is reminiscent of the bitter period that culminated in the death of harry's mother but this time there's race involved too. or perhaps even racism. meghan and harry suggest someone in the royalfamily, was concerned about the colour of their future child. harry says it wasn't the queen or prince phillip, but they suggest it was someone close. so far there's been no response from the palace. the only communication today was a tweet celebrating commonwealth day. notable, because in the context of the commonwealth, these allegations could be hugely damaging. however, remember, so far we only have one side of the story. here with all the latest our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. whatever the palace expected, the reality was worse, with meghan describing uncaring attitudes and a racist remark from a member of the royal family. it nearly broke her. were you thinking of harming yourself, having suicidal thoughts? yes. this was very clear. very clear and very scary and i did not know who even to turn to. these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear, and i'm scared because this is very real. it's not some abstract idea. this is methodical and this is not who i am. a particular low point had occurred in january 2019. the couple had attended an event at the royal albert hall. meghan says she was in tears for much of it and told harry she did not want to be alive anymore. she said she had approached one of the most senior people in the palace seeking help and she says she was told was nothing that could be done. rewind to a spring day in may 2018. it all started with so much promise. then meghan admitted she had been naive at the time of her wedding to harry. she said she did not fully understand what her role as a royal would involve. the queen quickly took her under her wing and there was a successful joint visit to chester. meghan said the queen had always made herfeel welcome and she loved being in a company. but the relationship with catherine, the duchess of cambridge, was evidently more complicated. at one point there were newspaper stories that meghan had made catherine cry. in fact, meghan said it was catherine who had made her cry but the palace never corrected the stories. it was a moment, meghan said, when things changed. they were willing to lie to protect other members of the royal family but they were not willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband, she said. and then to another extraordinary claim concerning their son archie in the months before his birth, meghan said there had been discussions about his status and security and she says there was a comment from a family member about the colour of his skin. in those months when i was pregnant, all around the same time, so we had in tandem the conversation of he will not be given security, he will not be given a title, and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born. what? and you're not going to tell me who had the conversation? i think that would be very damaging to them. harryjoined his wife for the final part of the interview. he hinted otherfamily members had becomejealous of them after their visit to australia in 2018. things really changed after that, he said. he said both his father and brother were trapped in the royal family. he was happy to have space from william and he revealed a rift with his father. there's a lot to work through. i feel really let down. because he has been through something similar. he knows what pain feels like. and archie's his grandson. but... at the same time, of course i will always love him. but there's a lot of hurt that's happened. they were revelations of the kind that any family would prefer to keep private. many things remain unanswered not least the identity of the family member who made the remark about archie's skin colour. on that, oprah winfrey has said who it was not. he did not share the identity with me but wanted to make sure that i knew if i had an opportunity to share it that it not his i knew if i had an opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather apart of those talks. but for all the hurt and pain that this couple had expressed about the past, meghan said that they were now thriving and harry said time heals all things. nicholas witchell, bbc news. 17 million viewers watched the interview live here in the us last

that the royal family is a section in the spotlight, something written about the royal family every day that they respond to every bit of title title in the press, they would forever be responding. more than that, it is a hierarchy constructor devoted principally to the line of the throne. i wonder if some of the lesser royals don't fully understand that it is wholly about the queen and if they

didn't because i thought i understood celebrity. she came from hollywood where the celebrities are falling out of trees and i thought thatis falling out of trees and i thought that is what the royal family would be. they were just printed celebrities. and then she got there and realised that it was very different. this was recorded... there are rules or hierarchies. this was recorded before the allegations came up last week about the way she treated her staff so i haven't seen it yet, but she wasn't asked about any of the questions of her behaviour towards her staff presumably. not in that interview that i heard. it was recorded over several days. cbs the ed dickson ordinaryjob of keeping it completely under wraps until he came out. —— sent a extraordinaryjob of keeping it under wraps.

se, and it was riveting television. royals aside, a gripping interview that 0prah conducted. you'll have to catch later tonight. i want to see how it lands here. very interesting to see what the reaction is. let's get some of the day's other news. the number of coronavirus—related deaths in italy has exceeded 100,000. it's the seventh country in the world to suprass this number. italy has been one of the worst affected countries by the pandemic. in an effort to reduce the infection rate, the country recently approved the astrazeneca vaccine for the over 65s. a supreme courtjudge in brazil has annulled the criminal convictions against former president lula da silva. it clears his way to run in next year's election. his political rights were suspended and he was barred from running for office in 2018 when he was imprisoned for corruption. 98 people are now known to have been killed and more than 600 others injured in a series of explosions at a military camp in equatorial guinea on sunday. state media said three young children have been rescued from the rubble of flattened buildings. for those watching on bbc world news — we'll be right back. police in london searching for missing 33—year—old sarah everard have given another update this afternoon. scotland yard say they remain "open—minded as to all possibilities" over ms everard's disappearance. but they say it is still a missing person investigation. ms everard hasn't been seen since wednesday evening when she left a friend's house in clapham. the last sighting was at about nine—thrity. detective chief inspector katherine goodwin is leading the investigation. we continue to search the area. anyone around the area where she disappeared from may notice a lot of police activity as we continue our searches. in terms of the investigation, we've drafted in specialist officers from across the met and continue to work on every line of inquiry possible. i want to thank the members of the public across london and outside who have come forward with information and continue to pass information to us through the incident room. we are all looking to try and find sarah as quickly as possible. thank you. the 27 million americans who have already had their coronavirus vaccine were given the green light today to return to something resembling normal life. the centre for disease control has relaxed its guidance for people who've had the jabs. and because covid instructions seem to cry out for cartoons, there's this nifty graphic. vaccinated households and can get together, in doors, no masks. it would seem you can even enjoy three bowls of soup. 0r vaccinated people can meet unvaccinated people, so long as they are young and relatively low risk. and here is what a vaccinated person should do if meeting people who are not vaccinated, and could be high risk. the masks stay on and the windows are open. 0n the upside — they get burgers. quite a lot of freedom. in fact, much more freedom than we have here in the uk. if you've had a jab here you still have to stick to the coronavirus rules. and only today did we take our first tentative step towards some normality. the prime minister was asked in mind of the improving picture here — whether he might consider accelerating the timeline. of course i understand the urgency that people feel, but we have to be driven by the data. we have to look at the rates of infection. don't forget, they are still very high by the standards of last year. we still have thousands of people in hospital with covid—19. and we have seen, alas in other european countries, that the curve is going up again. and we remember frankly what happened every time we have seen those upward curves in our friends and neighbours that it is not too long after that that we see an increase in this country as well. there was really encouraging piece of news today from the uk's 0ffice of national statistics. latest research suggests that a massive 94% of adults have either had the vaccine or would be likely to take it. let's talk to linda bauld — professor of public health at the university of edinburgh. lovely to see you.

wales is reporting unusual sightings. in the midst of the coronavirus lockdown, the deserted streets of llandudno have been occupied by goats. mountain goats, who have swapped altitude — for attitude. first reported on this programme last year, they began with a slow, purposeful infiltration of the town centre. and now they have returned, they have taken the chippy, the barbers shops, a hotel, and now primark. who do they think they are? 15 of these now—famed goats were seen in the car park of primark on wednesday. even though nonessential shops are closed. this herd of kashmiri goats, a gift to lord mostyn of landudno from queen victoria, normally they spend their time on the high pastures of great 0rme. but not right now. not — when the town is at their mercy — and the smell of fish and

sunshine for some, cloud and rain for others but for just about all of us the winds were relatively light, the calm before the storm. the winds were relatively light, look at this hook of cloud out in the atlantic. still a long way away from our shores but this weather system is being developed, it is being picked up and strengthened by a powerfuljet stream which is going to push it across the atlantic is quite a deep area of low pressure, so things in the middle part of this week are going to turn very wet and very windy. through wednesday night, into the early part of thursday, we could see some quite stormy weather in places. so, the rest of the week will bring spells of rain and some very strong winds. it is quiet in the short term, the winds stay light as we head through tonight. where we see clear skies, down towards the south, the midlands, south east wales, southern england, that is going to allow temperatures to drop away, may be —3 “i! celsius in some spots of the countryside. the north is not as cold, that's because there will be more in the way of cloud, that cloud producing some outbreaks of patchy rain and drizzle. some mist in places as well. as we start off tomorrow, it is still going to be quite calm out there, a lot of cloud, some spots of rain, some brightness, i think, down towards the south, but the winds will be strengthening out west later on as heavy rain approaches northern ireland and western scotland. those winds will continue to pick up into the evening, gusts of a0 to 50 mph in western areas, may be 60 to 70 mph in parts of north—west scotland, hence the met office yellow weather warning. as we move few tuesday night and into wednesday, this band of rain with strong winds will push its way south eastwards. it will try to clear, leaving some sunny conditions briefly but you can see rain is going to return from the south—west through the afternoon and with that the winds will start to pick up once again. wednesday night is set to be the windiest spell of the week as our deep area of low pressure approaches. notice a lot of white lines, a lot of isobars on this chart, there will be gales quite widely, yellow warning is already in force for england and wales, the potential for some disruption. those winds will only very slowly ease through thursday and friday and we will end the week with a mix of sunshine and heavy showers. you're watching bbc news. i'm katie katie in washington, christian fraser is in london —— caddy katty kay in washington. our top stories: in an interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess of sussex has said that a member of the royalfamily expressed concerns about how dark her child's skin would be. jury selection has been delayed in the case of an ex—minneapolis police officer accused of killing unarmed black man george floyd. also in the programme: us climate envoyjohn kerry arrives in london at the start of a multi—city european tour aimed at talking strategy ahead of a key climate conference in november. plus, how mount etna is the volcano that can't stop erupting — it's gone off no less than ten times in three weeks. anyone in the area of santa barbara, california last night may have felt a slight tremor in the ground, perhaps even a shift in the wind. and that's because a detonation went off in one of those grand mansions outside los angeles. in a two—hour interview with the us talk show host oprah winfrey, the duchess of sussex accused a member of the royal family of being racist towards her unborn child archie, openly discussing how dark the baby would be. today, 0prah said categorically that the royal in question was not the queen or prince philip. not only that, meghan suggested their son's dual heritage was behind their son's dual heritage was behind the decision not to make rga prince. —— archie a prince. so how does the royal family recover from an interview that many are comparing to princess diana's interview with the bbc in 1995? the man with the answers is charles anson. he was the queen's press officer from 1990—1997. and we spoke to him a little earlier. take us back to the morning after that interview aired. what was it like in the palace that day? well, let me take you back, actually, to watching the programme itself on that monday evening when, clearly, we knew that there was going to be some fairly earth—shattering things said but we didn't know what exactly was going to be said. but the very frank statements about the monarchy and about the way she felt she'd been treated and so on, we decided the next day — and at the queen's agreement — that we should say nothing whatsoever about the interview. the princess had said what she had to say. there was no point in taking issue with it publicly. the best thing was to sit down... do you think that will be the attitude after this interview? i think this could be rather different. i mean, that was a one—off interview. there wasn't going to be anything more. i think one wants to make sure in the situation now, in a slightly more open world — social media and the opportunities for stories to spread at the most lightning speed — i think you need to be a little bit more cautious in disaggregating bits of the story and then working out solutions to the things that you can resolve that are of public interest. is the complicating factor this time, charles, the issue of race, given the queen is the head of the commonwealth? i think the issue of race... i mean, clearly, one's got to take that very seriously, and it's obviously a matter of concern for the couple themselves, but in seven years that i worked at the palace, i never sensed any kind of bias in that respect. and obviously, in terms of the queen's position, it's unassailable that she's been head of the commonwealth from the day she became queen, and the commonwealth is really probably the greatest, biggest, most successful multiracial organisation in the world. there are 2 billion people that live under the commonwealth umbrella, so to speak, and the queen is a very popular, highly admired head of the commonwealth, and the commonwealth has now said that they would like prince charles to become head of the commonwealth when he becomes king. and there's no other organisation in the world that has quite that sort of spread. and that percolates down not only on the political front but the professional organisations — doctors, lawyers, etc. you couldn't make a case against the queen. it's been slightly surprising to me to hear other broadcasters — not the bbc — talk about the queen being a racist. she's not in any way. and i think there is a streak of racism in all our countries, but it tends to be individuals who are sort of active on social media. and they build up this kind of slightly false base of power, where in fact they're re—tweeting all the time. charles anson there, who was inside the palace for many years and knows how it works on occasions like this. let's head over to los angeles to get the latest stateside from the bbc�*s sophie long. i read today, sophie, that there was another two hours of this interview thatis another two hours of

something else. a judge has delayed jury selection in the case of an ex—minneapolis police officer accused of killing george floyd, an unarmed black man, last may. derek chauvin faces murder charges for kneeling on mr floyd's neck for over seven minutes, in a widely—viewed video that sparked protests worldwide. jury selection will now begin on tuesday at the earliest. a warning — this report by barbara plett usher contains distressing images. # we live all the time... # keep it straight, keep it raw. that's what they say in krump. in a time of raw emotions, this fantastically physical street dance is a cathartic release. krumping has helped them work through their anger and pain over george floyd's death, and it will help them deal with the trial of the man charged in the killing, derek chauvin. however, this trial is going to end will be really big, either on the bad side or the good side. and i believe that it shows us how much our government cares about us, or not. the graphic video of the white police officer pinning down the black man has made this perhaps the most famous prosecution of police brutality in us history. i can't breathe! nojustice! no peace! protests demanding racialjustice and police reform rolled across the country — peaceful by day, but sometimes violent by night. in minneapolis, there was extraordinary damage. elias has managed to restock the drugs in his pharmacy, but his business is still recovering. last year, he watched helplessly by security camera as it was ransacked. wow, what a mess. completely trashed ? yes. elias and his wife mawerdi had invested their lives and savings in the pharmacyjust eight months before the unrest. the trial, it kind of brings _ a nervousness and brings back some of the flashbacks, what happenedj in the past during the civil unrest. but at the same time, - we feel like it's probably part of a little bit of the price that we pay forjustice. i justice for george, the rallying cry that shaped a movement and is now facing a moment of reckoning. trials in police killings are rare, in a nation that seldom punishes cops for allegations of abusive behaviour. once again, minneapolis is in the national spotlight — this time, as a test case for the country on whether anything's changed about holding police officers to account for the way they use force and about attitudes towards racism and policing in america. barbara plett usher, bbc news, minneapolis. that killing has had a huge followed in the united states and around the world and, in fact. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: america's top climate official is in the uk pushing for stricter global limits on emission limits. it's a sharp turn from the prior administration's strategy and comes amid worrying new signs from the world's rainforests. for viewers here in the uk, let's return to that explosive interview with meghan and harry, the duke and duchess of sussex. it was broadcast in the united states overnight and is being broadcast in the uk, now on itv. labour are calling for a full investigation into any allegation of racism. there's been no official comment from buckingham palace. but our royal correspondent nicholas witchell gave us this update about the likely impact on the royal family and the lessons that could be learned. family members, one must suppose, will be hurt. officials i think will be shocked, even dumbfounded. they tried so hard to make this work. the idea that buckingham palace is full of fussy men in suits just is not correct. team sussex was hand—picked — their private secretary an australian woman, communications secretary an american man, followed then by an american woman. they wanted this to work, they wanted to be able to show that the palace has learned the lessons of diana from 25 years ago. it didn't work, and we have this curious inversion of meghan's personality — from a strong, independent woman, as she undoubtedly is, to a broken woman, as she tells the whole story, who had to escape. undoubtedly, this underlines that one of the great challenges that the palace faces is the assimilation of outsiders who marry into the royal family. we've seen diana, sarah ferguson and now meghan. now, there have been successes — kate middleton most notably, the countess of wessex also, sophie rhstones, as she used to be. the palace will want to learn lessons, but i cannot see the central members of the family feeling that they should retreat from the central principle that in the positions of great privilege that they occupy, they have an absolute obligation to do their duty and to put that first. finally, on a lighter note — it wasn't in my report — harry and meghan disclosed that their baby is a girl, to be born in the summer. president biden tells us that from now on, the us will lead by the power of its example, rather than the example of its power. but later this year, that lofty rhetoric will be tested. in november, glasgow will host the cop26 climate conference — and the world's eyes will be on the us for the commitments it makes on cutting its own greenhouse gas emissions. as part of the us�*s diplomatic push ahead of that conference, joe biden's climate envoyjohn kerry is this week visiting european capitals. and today he met with borisjohnson here in london, where the pair have begun talking strategy. in an interview with bbc newsnight, john kerry said glasgow's agreement must go even further than the paris accord the us pulled out of during the trump administration. there's no question. the united states has been absent from this effort for the last four years, at least as a federal government, even as states and mayors continued to stick by paris. but the problem, emily, is if every country— but the problem, emily, is if every country agreed to do what they agreed — country agreed to do what they agreed in — country agreed to do what they agreed in the paris agreement, which they do— agreed in the paris

have to make even more ambitious commitments. take rainforests. new data out today reveals that two—thirds of the world's original tropical forest cover has been destroyed or degraded entirely. that's pretty depressing, isn't it? and that is a problem if you're worried about climate change. the amazon — which you see here — absorbs two billion tonnes of c02 each year from the atmosphere. that's the equivalent to 5% of our annual emissions of the gas. dr erin mccrellis is a conservation scientist with the rainforest trust. shejoins us now from oregon. dr, could you have you with us. the most

erupting for the tenth time in just three weeks. yeah, it is a very trigger—happy volcano, incessantly? there it is. ash —— in sicily. it is spewing outjets of ash and molten lava more than ten kilometres into the sky — plumes so large that they are visible from space. the ash and smoke its ejecting is raining down on the entirety of sicily�*s eastern coast. at least eight villages were pelted with tiny rocks ejected from the volcano. amazing. i remember those pictures of that volcano from iceland and when travel was stopped because the volcanic ash was spewing around the world, and you wonder, you can see how that kind of thing can happen. just so long as it is that one and not the one of the road in vesuvius, yeah? because when that one goes, we will really know about it. i

us saw rain, others got some sunshine, but the winds were relatively light. that is set to change. 0n the satellite picture, you can see this hook of cloud across the other side of the atlantic, a weather system that is being picked up by a strong and powerfuljet stream, turning it into a deep area of low pressure, and that is heading in our direction. it's going to bring some very, very strong winds, particularly during wednesday night into and thursday. so, the weather set to turn a lot livelier with spells of rain and some of those very strong winds in the forecast. tuesday, though, starts off on a relatively quiet note. a frost in the south with clear skies, more cloud further north, the odd spot of rain with that. but as we go through the day, we'll see thicker cloud bringing heavier rain into northern ireland and western scotland. it is going to be pretty mild out there — 9 to 12 degrees — but the winds will be strengthening across these western areas with gusts of a0 to 50, maybe 60 or 70 mph in parts of northwest scotland late in the day, hence that met office yellow warning. now, as we head through tuesday night, this band of rain and brisk winds will stagger further southeastwards. some clearer spells following on behind with some wintry showers into the northwest. but wednesday is going to bring some pretty wet weather to start off across parts of england and wales as this frontal system moves through. but instead of clearing away, this front actually bends back out into the atlantic. rain will return with increasingly strong winds. so, perhaps a brief window of calmer weather with some sunshine. still some wintry showers across scotland, but here comes our next brush of wet weather from the southwest, and with that, the winds will be strengthening once again. this is where we see our really deep area of low pressure pushing through. during wednesday night into thursday, a lot of white lines on this chart, a lot of isobars. there will be gales. already met office yellow warnings enforced for england and wales, but these are the kind of wind gusts we can expect through the early part of thursday morning. gusts of 60 miles per hour or more in the south, but even for northern ireland and scotland, it's going to be pretty windy as well. those winds may ease a little through the day on thursday, but it will stay blustery out there. we'll see some spells of sunshine, some showers as well, which could contain some hail. maybe some wintriness over higher ground because the air following on into the uk will not be particularly warm, and that continues on into friday. low pressure to the north, not as stormy by this stage, but still quite blustery. plenty of showers in the flow and a westerly wind bringing some relatively chilly air in our direction. there will be some spells of sunshine around, perhaps the best of that across eastern areas with some shelter. plentiful showers with some hail, maybe some wintriness, the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures between seven and 10 degrees. very similar weather on saturday. showers or longer spells of rain with some sleet and some hail mixing in. equally, some spells of sunshine and those temperatures by this stage down in single digits forjust about all of us. now, as we head through sunday and into next week, it looks like things are going to calm down. this area of high pressure is going to wobble its way northwards. it may be that we still see frontal systems for a time, but generally speaking, we can expect it to turn drier and calmer during next week. now and then, some stormy weather in the forecast. tonight at ten: the royal family is hit by allegations of racism and a lack of care in its dealings with the duchess of sussex. despite the joy of parenthood, the couple express their dismay and anger at the treatment which they say forced them to move abroad. in a us prime—time interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess claimed she'd faced questions from one royal about her baby's likely colour. so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given the security, he's not going to be given a title. and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he is born.
