killing george floyd. how do you find an un—biased jury? and... the schoolgirl left for dead by the taliban, who went on to win a nobel prize, talks to bbc news about her multi—million pound television deal. taking her own life — and that there had been conversations within the royal family about how dark their son archie's skin might be. oprah winfrey said it wasn't the queen elizabeth or the duke of edinburgh who asked prince harry about the colour of his son's skin. so far, buckingham palace has not responded to any of the allegations — as our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell reports. 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 almost 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. she did not want to be alive any more. she said she had approached one of the most senior people understand what her role as a royal would involve. the queen quickly took her under her wing and there was a successfuljoint 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. 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. time heals all things he said at the end of the interview. tonight they issued a photograph of themselves with archie. they also issued the news that their new baby is a girl to be born in the summer. our correspondent sophie long has been following the reaction in the us. this was a very heavily trailed interview took place over two hours last night. broadcast on prime time both east and west coast. it didn't disappoint in terms of the details that were revealed. it was on the all the us news networks this morning. people calling it explosive, kryptonite, a hand grenade being thrown right into the heart of the british monarchy. it's been huge here and there's been a lot of sympathy for the royal couple. i think the main focus has been on what she revealed about feeling suicidal, how it was a very real and constant feeling. how she sought help and help wasn't forthcoming. that is been the main focus of coverage here. that along with the conversations revealed about the colour of their then unborn child just to give you a sense of how much coverage this is not it was even raised as a question at the press briefing at the white house today. president biden press secretary said they are now private citizens. it takes great courage for people to talk about their struggles with mental health and to do that so personally. they didn't go any further than that. just to give you an indication that this has been talked about the royal family rather differently? here there's been much, much more sympathy for the royal couple. and a lot of americans are fascinated by their story. this for them is a fairy tale. this was a young biracial woman who once worked as a waitress and was working as an actress when she met prince harry and married into the royal family. they watch this story as it unfolds. they were obviously very saddened to hear the struggles and pain she felt when she was with the royal family. and a greater understanding now of why they decided to leave and why they came here to california. there were lots of shocking revelations but also some happy news. as you heard in the report we learned that she is expecting a baby girl. which is due to be born in the summer. we also had some insight into their life here. we had harry described the highlights of his day is now striving archie to the back of his bike, going into bike rides, to the beach, tags enjoying the outdoors in a way that he never got to do when he was a child. let's get some of the day's other news. the biden administration is granting temporary protection status to venezuelan refugees living in the united states. the change in policy could benefit about 300,000 people. the former brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva has had his convictions annulled. a supreme courtjudge ruled that the court that sentenced him lacked the jurisdiction to do so. the government of equatorial guinea has said italy is the seventh country in the world explosions have been heard in the area, believed to be the sound of stun grenades used by the military. more than fifty people are believed to have been killed since the military coup began. david campa nale reports. the city of myitkyina, kachin state. it's another day on the streets as unarmed protesters take their stand against the military coup. as they advance, they must know armed security forces are ready and waiting and will use lethal force against them. then something remarkable — a roman catholic nun is on her knees pleading with the police. some officers kneel down to speak to her, their hands in prayer. she recalled the security personnel told her to leave as she was in grave danger, but she insisted she would not go away and was ready to die. translation: | said, - "if you're not turning back, i will also remain here." they said, "the protesters are blocking the road." i said, "i'll ask them to open it." i begged them not to shoot these children. from gestures of peace, there then came gunfire and mayhem. moments later, witnesses say volleys of bullets 200 protesters remained barricaded by security forces in their apartment buildings. police have been arresting anyone suspected of involvement in the civil disobedience movement. people are really scared. they don't know what's going to happen next, and the military has been cutting internet every night at 1am. so, people are really worried about what will happen after that. the decision by some of the biggest unions to launch an indefinite general strike is a desperate one, hoping that destroying an already damaged economy might bring enough pressure to force the military to step back. but this is an army which has already said it will accept all hardships and isolation inflicted on the country president biden�*s climate envoy, john kerry, has called on the world's 20 most polluting nations to tackle climate change. in an interview with bbc newsnight, mr kerry said the un climate summit that's due to be held in glasgow later this year must go even further than the paris accord the us there is no question, the united states had been absent did and they're not, then you would still see a rise in temperature of the earth of about 3.7 degrees. that's catastrophic. and since we are not it's actually rising higher. all of us, every single country has got to step up ambition. and particularly the 20 countries of which uk is one, but the 20 countries that are the equivalent of 81% of all emissions. those 20 countries have a particular responsibility to take the lead in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: israel starts a vaccinatiion programme for thousands of palestinians — human rights groups say they should go much further, james earl ray, aged 41, is sentenced to 99 years. he travelled from memphis jail to nashville state prison in an eight car convoy. paul, what's it feel like to be married at last? it feels fine, thank you. do you think you'll change your life much, you think? i don't know, i've never married before. this is bbc news, the latest headlines... the interview sending shock waves through buckingham palace meghan says a member of the royal family had concerns about what colour her child would be. in myanmar — hundreds of protestors are trapped by security forces in yangon, the un says — it's deeply concerned for their fate, a usjudge has delayed the start of one of the most protesters gathered ahead of the trial of former officer derek chauvin, the white policeman accused of second—degree murder, which was due to begin monday. jury selection will now begin on tuesday. george floyd's death, which was filmed by a bystander, sparked months of protests for racialjustice. here's how the jury selection process works. a pool of eligible local citizens has been called to appear, and from them a jury of 12 and four alternates will be selected. potentialjurors are questioned to determine if they'll be able to judge derek chauvin fairly. each will have received a questionnaire asking about their familiarity with the case, their news habits and their own interactions with law enforcement. it includes direct questions about how many times they saw the video of george floyd's death and if they participated in or had property damaged during the protests. these contentious and sensitive issues make jury selection an important, and complicated, process. i asked the professor of law at the university of baltimore whether it was possible to select an impartialjury. whether it was possible to select an impartialjury. well, that's a question in any high—profile trial, and the judge basically said, "listen, i understand that pretty much everyone's heard about this, so i'm not going to order that this trial take place in a different district," for example. so, they're going to go forward with the hope that they can empanel a jury that's not biased against police officers on the one hand or for police officers on another hand, or even jurors that have strong views about the use of drugs. because it looks like one of the defences that will be waged is that mr floyd had fentanyl and other substances in his bloodstream. so, this is definitely a challenging task for this judge, for these lawyers and for the american jury system. does that questionnaire work? kind of to put people in larger groups, and then thejudge will go through voir dire with first the defence lawyer asking questions after thejudge and then the prosecutors. and it's through that process that the jurors will be one—by—one asked questions to weed out more nuanced biases. and there's a whole cottage industry in the united states of experts that are hired by lawyers who have other resources or clients who have the resources to kind of, second—guess these jurors or try to get inside them psychologically in the jury system. i mean, it's not a science as much as there are people, as i said, who have expertise in this. but it's certainly unfortunately, a system that rewards people with the affluence to afford that kind of support in this moment where someone's liberty, here mr chauvin's liberty�*s on the line, as well as of course the tragedy that happened to george floyd that every american now has an opinion about probably. israel has started vaccinating thousands of palestinians who hold israeli work permits. but rights groups say it should go much further for those in the occupied territories. our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. they come to work at dawn. the buses arrive, and so does the chance for a life—saving jab. these are among 100,000 west bank palestinians who have jobs injewish settlements or inside israel. a checkpoint becomes a vaccine clinic. workers get ready as soldiers watch on. ahmed, a builder, tells me he hopes all palestinians can get the jab. "we need to provide a normal life for our kids," he says. but the workers are the lucky ones. a journey through the checkpoint into the occupied west bank takes you to where covid rates are surging. this is manger square, and over there is the church of the nativity. i mean, this place would normally be packed. there haven't been any tourists here for a year. everything's shut now. you just see this place has really suffered. i meetjohnny. he's recovered from the virus, but now his wife and some of the kids are sick. they've been inside more than a month. translation: we need - the vaccine urgently, so we can go back to our normal lives. in israel, they vaccinated millions. here, we didn't get it. we are asking the pa, our authority, to get us the vaccine. our lives depend on it. paralysed from a fall, with years of health concerns, fadi is just as worried about business now. his restaurant has the highest views of bethlehem and a land divided. here, we asked for the vaccine. we didn't know where or when. this is the problem. you'll feel like you'll be in the corner, in the ward, you feel like in the corner. you've been forgotten? yeah. all this has been wrapped in controversy as rights groups say israel should give doses for many more palestinians. it's more of a political decision from a higher level. as well, israel's open to talking with the palestinian side when there's an official request given. we will work accordingly as well with other international organisations or donations. israel argued previous peace accords leave responsibility for vaccines to palestinian officials. they've done only around 10,000 doses so far, with more batches apparently delayed. but for millions of palestinians without a job in israel, they're still waiting. tom bateman, bbc news, bethlehem. malala yousafzai was a school girl when was she was shot in the head by the taliban in pakistan in 2012 for campaigning for girls�* education. she was flown to the uk for treatment where she has remained as an activist and the youngest person to win the nobel peace prize. she's now signed a multi—million pound deal with the streaming service apple tv+ to make her own programmes. she's been speaking to our arts editor will gompertz. she was the child activist who was shot by the taliban in 2012, survived, and became an international star, rubbing shoulders with the most famous people on the planet. now, 23—year—old malala yousafzai, orjust malala, as she's become known, joins the sussexes and the obamas as the latest high—profile campaigning public figure to sign a multi—million—pound deal with a streaming service. a multi—million—pound deal apple tv+ in this instance. a multi—million—pound deal i will be covering lots of things from comedies to documentaries to movies to tv dramas, and i am a big fan of sitcoms. i have watched very old sitcoms from blackadder. will this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking very slowly towards the enemy, sir? how could you possiblyl know that, blackadder? it's classified information! malala, that's a large swathe of broadcasting you're talking about and there's only you. how are you going to go about it? well, you know, small but mighty. i believe that we can get there. i want to inspire women and girls to believe in themselves, step forward, and make the change that they want to see happen. one child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. oftentimes when you don't see a person of your background, of your skin colour, on the stage in these fields, you underestimate yourself. you think that you may not be able to do that, to do that work. so i think when we have more role models it will encourage us to believe in ourselves. and the world is in a state of flux at the moment. this is a world you'll be reflecting, i assume in your tv programmes. are you optimistic or are you pessimistic? i am optimistic but i don't want to deny the reality. there are things that are not fair. there is inequality, there is racism, there is sexism, there is discrimination. so we cannot deny that. but i'm optimistic about the change that we can bring. and i'm also optimistic about the fact that we have seen change throughout history. but we have seen that because people in our past have stood up. now it's our time that we do it for our future generation and ourselves that we bring that change. fanfare malala, the youngest person to be awarded the nobel prize for peace, has become an influencer with international reach, a global brand of sorts, with her own charity, book club, social media following and now this new tv production deal. proof that in a new world of content it's not who you know that counts but how many millions of people know you. will gompertz, bbc news. some of russia's top ice hockey players have taken part in a match on lake baikal to highlight ecological issues there. scientists say the lake is being polluted by the rivers flowing into it due to a lack of water treatment plants in the area. the match called the last game on lake baikal is part of a series of year—long events to raise awareness of the damage pollution is doing to the world's oldest and deepest lake. who will win? don't forget you'll find lots more raection and anaylsis about meghan and harry's interview with oprah winfrey on our website, including this piece, the 12 things we learned from their conversation with the us star. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @jamesbbcnews. of course we await further reaction to this story. we wait news from buckingham palace if there is any. hello. the weather is pretty quiet out there at the moment, and tuesday promises to be a fine day on the whole. the rest of the week, though, oh, my goodness, it's going to get significantly livelier. a deep area of low pressure forming out to the west at the moment in the atlantic will come hurtling towards the uk for wednesday and thursday. expect some very strong and gusty winds and some spells of heavy rain. so, in contrast, for tuesday, yes, some showery light rain affecting northern reaches of the uk, but overall a lot of fine weather, some sunny spells and light winds, a quiet enough day. temperatures just about making it into the lower end of double figures. through the afternoon, however, and into the evening, the wind starts to strengthen in the west as this weather front pushes in. wet conditions for northern ireland and scotland through the evening. overnight, the rain sinks further south into england and wales, and the gusty winds will follow that band of rain. but the wind, the rain and the cloud do make for a milder night tuesday into wednesday. wednesday daytime, the cloud and rain tends to hang back across england and wales as our next front bumps into scotland and northern ireland. generally a lot of cloud around, some heavy rain, but the wind the key factor again, ithink, through wednesday. across the board, strong gusty winds. those are the figures in the black arrows. this is wednesday afternoon, and in exposed areas, we're looking at 50 mph and inland 35—40. this is the area of low pressure wednesday into thursday. the fronts run off into the continent. the low centre, though, stays to the north. thursday actually brighter for many, but a lot of showers coming in and just don't underestimate that wind. behind the fronts, actually, it could be stronger on thursday than it was on wednesday. certainly will feel colder. i think we could see some snow showers across the highest ground, and the winds at exposure in excess of 60 mph, inland 40—115 mph. so a really windy 48 hours. winds slacken back a bit, perhaps friday, but bands of showers sweep across the uk. and then for saturday, it looks like we'll see a more organised band of rain it looks like we'll see a more and still a fairly blustery story into the early part the weekend. this is bbc news. the headlines — the duke and duchess of sussex have given a deeply personal interview to oprah winfrey explaining why they left the uk. meghan said that she considered taking her own life and that there had been conversations within the royal family about how dark their son archie's skin might be. a judge has delayed the start of one of the most significant trials in us history. a former police officer is charged with killing george floyd, an unarmed black man, last may in minneapolis. the court is considering whether to reinstate a charge of third—degree murder. the un says it's deeply concerned about the fate of some 200 protestors trapped by security forces in yangon. it comes as the burmese ambassador to the uk has called for the release of myanmar�*s ousted ruler aung san suu kyi. now on bbc news, it's time for hardtalk.
