in myanmar, hundreds of protestors are trapped by security forces in yangon, the un says, it's deeply concerned for their fate. a moment of reconciliation, though, as one catholic nun joined demonstrators and praised with police. the trial of the former policeman accused of 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. hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. britain's royal family and its advisors are reeling from a list of damaging allegations, made by the duke and duchess of sussex in their interview with oprah winfrey. 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. oprah winfrey has said it wasn't queen elizabeth nor 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 whatever the palace expected, the reality was worse, with meghan describing uncaring attitudes and a racist remark from a member of the royalfamily. it nearly broke her. so were you thinking of harming yourself, or were you having suicidal thoughts? yes. this was very clear. wow. very clear and very scary. and, you know, i didn't know who to even turn to in that. these are the thoughts that i'm having in the middle of the night that are very clearand i'm scared. clarification. because this is very real. this isn't 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. the duke and duchess of sussex! meghan said she was in tears for much of it. she had told harry that she didn't want to be alive any more. she said she had approached one of the most senior people in the palace seeking help. she says she was told there was nothing that could be done. rewind to a spring day in may 2018. it had all started with so much promise. though meghan admitted that she'd been naive at the time of her wedding to harry. she didn't, she said, fully understand what her role as a royal would involve. the queen quickly took her under her wing. there was a successful joint visit to chester. meghan said the queen had always made herfeel welcome. she loved being in her company, she said. 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 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 royalfamily but they weren't willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband," she said. listen, did you hear that? 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 this same time, so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given 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. 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 that other family members had becomejealous of them after their visit to australia in 2018. things really changed after that, he said. and 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 there. you know, ifeel really let down because he's been through something similar, he knows what pain feels like, and archie is 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 wasn't. he did not share the identity with with me but he wanted to make sure that i knew, and if i had an opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were a part of those conversations. time heals all things, harry said at the end of the interview. tonight they issued a photograph of themselves with archie. they also disclosed in the interview that their new baby is a girl to be born in the summer. nicholas witchell, bbc news. earlier, the white house press secretary, jen psaki, commented on the royal interview. megan interview. michael is a private citizen, megan michael is a private citizen, and so is harry, at this point. for anyone to come forward and speak about their own struggles with mental health and tell their own personal story, that takes courage. that is certainly something the president believe that he has talked about the importance of, you know, investing in a lot of these areas that they are committed to in the future as well. dr ken duckworth is the chief medical officer at the national alliance on mental illness. very good to talk to you, what do you take away from this interview?— interview? first of all, my name is — interview? first of all, my name is duckwlo - interview? first of all, my name is duckwlo but. interview? first of all, my| name is duckwlo but i'm interview? first of all, my - name is duckwlo but i'm an name is duckworth but i'm an american psychiatrist, i might be an anglophile but i don't have any insight into the royal family per se. what i was impressed with was that people experience barriers to getting help in many different ways. here and the states people have difficulty finding help because of insurance problems, which you may not have with the national health service, they may have problems because in their family system they are not encouraged to seek help. i would saint there are a surprising number of barriers to people accessing help and support for mental health problems. i would say during the covid—19 pandemic, mental health has become more common as a problem in the united states. about two and five people report clinically significant symptoms and i think of mental health is now a we problem did of a they problem so i am hopeful that people will learn from meghan�*s experience and get help if they feel suicidal or are having mental health concerns. [30 feel suicidal or are having mental health concerns. do you think it's in _ mental health concerns. do you think it's in the _ mental health concerns. do you think it's in the particular- think it's in the particular message that someone with so many apparent advantages can be so devastatingly unhappy and be open about it with yellow i think the human condition offers challenges to people, whether you are living in poverty or in tremendous privilege. i have interview people from many different kinds of walks of life, and the human problems around mental health, thoughts of self—harm, concerns about shame, not seeking help, are somewhat universal. clearly having advantages and privileges that resources does make things easier, if you decide to get help, but that first step, the feeling that this is not ok or i can't do this, as a human problem, i think. i can't do this, as a human problem, ithink. harry i can't do this, as a human problem, i think. harry used that word, shame, didn't he? and it seems if you accept what meghan said, that when she went for help she was offered none, in fact, told that there was none. 3 in fact, told that there was none. ~ ., in fact,

ordinary people as well. you are seeing it in workplaces. i think the pandemic has had such mental health impact so many people, i think it is more ubiquitous. shame is a challenge. people need to remember that there is no health without mental health and mental health challenges are part of the human condition and i think if you can set the shame and put it into perspective, this is an ordinary human process. get help for its. is quite treatable, the outcomes are very similar to other medical problems like diabetes or heart disease. ., , disease. and actually telling people about

people who have mental health challenges, it can give some people an opportunity to say, me too. i am in this as well. and if she can have this, i can have this. so i would interpret this through the lens of a service to people. when people share their vulnerabilities, i'll admit it is more american than british, but as a rule, i think it creates space for people to give permission to ourselves and to each other for these ordinary human conditions.— these ordinary human conditions. ., , ., conditions. doctor duckworth, thank you _ conditions. doctor duckworth, thank you very _ conditions.

been heard in the area, believed to be the sound of stun grenades used by the military. at least 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 tore into the protesters who had pushed forward. they raced back carrying two people who were killed and helping a young woman whose arm had been badly injured by a bullet. five weeks after their coup, the armed forces in myanmar are still facing open rebellion in almost every corner of the country. this is but one district of yangon, where as night fell, 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 as a fair price to pay for keeping power. david campanale, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news: the white house is granting temporary legal status to thousands of undocumented venezuelan migrants living in the united states. over 300,000 people are

royal family had concerns about what colour her child would be. among many other concerns. let's talk to american author austin channing brown about this. she wrote the book, i'm still here: black

have the narrative changed against me, to have roles and titles switched just because i came in the rules. i know what it is like not to be believed, to go to hr and not get help. it was a stunning,

rallying cry to be witness to meghan's story and to say this is happening everywhere, this is happening in the uk, in america, in the royal family and at myjob. it became a point of connection for all

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. at the university of baltimore and has been telling us about the issue. 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, orfor 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. 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�*

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. 0ftentimes 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 encourages 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. like, 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

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. 0vernight, 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, i think, 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 spreading into all areas. 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. 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. a judge has delayed the start of one of the most significant trials in us history. a
