Queen elizabeth has given her blessing for harry and meghan to after admitting it shut down a passenger plane, iranianau thorities are facing allega oonscracking down on the people protesting about what happened. A voano in the philippines has erupted not just with love of the lorddi extranary volcanic lightning. We will explain how that happens. There a things on the ground i couldve handled much better. These are raw, emotional enviroents. Ros Scott Morrison talks about his governments response to the bushfire crisis. We work through what he has told us. Esprince chawilliam, harry, and Queen Elizabeth met for prince harry and Meghan Markle announced her plans to go it alone last week, stepping back from their oil roles. E after eting, Queen Elizabeth released a statement, saying we spect their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family. Dharry meghan made clear they dont want to rely on public funds in their spirit it has therore been agreed there will be a transition where the sussexes will spend time in canada and the u. K. Lets get more on that from our correspondent. We have a bit of a sense of what went on. We know that harry arrived late this morning, his father, the prince of wales, flew in last night. Williamiv a about 15 minutes or so before things got underway. Heas a bit of a late arrival. We think the meeting lasted for around 2, 3 hours. We s many of those peopleor leaving just b5 00 u. K. Time. They were inside one of the rooms in the main grounds on the estate here in north norfolk. In terms of megan, we dont know. Clearly, the tinworks ok for her, wouldar have an early on the west coast of canada, but could have dialed into the the indications have been a that was her plan. Hard to think that she would not have contributed isome way. Then when everyone lef we had a personal statement from the queen about how the meeting had go. Ros we are still aho little on detail, but lots of people have been trying to work out scenes. Ening behind the this was undoubtedly a dominanni story this m from the times. Princes fill out because williad was not fr toward megan. It suggestser the two bro have not been getting on, and the sussex askes describe a bulg attitude from the duke and that resulted in a statement. Spe clear denials of stories in the u. K. Sp ners speculating about the relationship between t a duke of suss the duke of cambridge, Four Brothers who care so deeply around the issues of mental health, the of inflammatory language in this is offensive anrmpotentially l. Lets get the analysisrom the vanity fair royal corresponnt. It is sending the message that at least with tss, these two are not united. A prominent royal reporter wrote in the times, not least the opening part of the story, thata mega the one that wanted to go. Harry feeling more torn. Ros there are lots of outstanding questions. One of them is how the sussexs will become financially part of their income comes from british taxpayers. They are proposing to give them that money. The rest of their money come from the estate longing to prince charles. And of course, harry and meghan for different reasons, are also independently wealthy, and apparently want to workjo, do their ow in time. This footage emerged o prince harry talking to bob eiger last year, perhaps outlining possibilities for meghan marvee to do voicwork. The judge us agreed to a deal charity. Proceeds going to lets go to the person who first broke the story about the pair wanting to step backreal life royal life. Nd one harryeghan want, harry and meghan get. This is what they hoped for. It seems there is a commitment remain members of yal will family, and will be allowed to live in canadaand by all accounts, from what we can read into the statement, seek commercial deals. That is something that, fng a ime, senior members of the royal family were deeply against. It does feel like harry and meghan have gten eir desired outcome from the meeting today. Ros guidelines for working roles were outlined in 2001, after prin edwards wife sophie was accused on cashing in on her status. All royals must consult the lord chamberlain, a senior official, before embarki on any new business opportunities, and royal business has to be kept separate. It is still not clear how this will work for the sussexs, but we know the couple applied to trademark their sussex royal brand across a range of items. You can find the list oine, including anything from calendars to bookmarks, appreciate thet fine pr reasonably small here. That is not going d qn well in sorters. A cartoon from the times speculatingps about per new coat of arms featuring bmw, donalds. The point being, this cartoon is not comfortable with them working with brands. Needless to say, the suspectss sussexs would not granted that way. Solution that will not allow a harry and meghan to start endorsingeanut butter or things like that. That is where the transition will come out. They will not allow them to put their brand on particular items, or do things that will in some way tarnish the reputation of brand monarchy. That is very important because i uldont think anybody except that. Ros it is likely the sussexs will keep their royal titles but its a question aboutr ho will pay eir security. The Evening Standard reporting that perhaps canada will pick up a share of the cost, potentially as much as 1. 3 million every year. Here is daniela again on what could happen next. Daniela it is hard to read where we go in that sense. It is my sense the queen and a royal family have given into harry and meghan, in terms of what will be happening going forward. The statement tinged with regret , unusual for the queen, but in terms of the nittygtty in terms of what happens now, it doesnt give us a detail. There are these issues around money, which will be the sticking pnt. Yes, in the statement, they say they dont want to be publicly funded in this new role they will create, but what does that mean . Does that mean there will be any contribution to their security costs . Ywill there be boundaries drawn around the kind of work when they can do while still being members of the royal family . That will not away, they just not be active senior members. One of the rules of engagement, we dont know at the moment, but it is clear, timeframe, the een wants this sorted out as quickly as possible. Ros for more background, you can go to the bbc news app right now. Police in iran are denying they are taking out a crackdown, but there have been angry protests ever since the government admitted a passenger plane was shot down near tehran last week. We know the authorities ually deal with protests in a certain way. Ootake aat these pictures were people shouted antigovernment slogans, clashes with securityors, tear gas being used here. This is interestin last week, the ss in the general Qassem Soleimani was being held as a hero. Ree see protesters pulling down pictures of him. I suspect this is more about a general show of defiance. We have seen that in other ways. Striperican stars and and the israeli flag, protesters not walking over it. Normally they would be walking on i, showing disrespect. By not doing that, they are making a point to their vernment. This video posted by an ingredient journalist, the people chanting the we dont want the islamic republic. We have some reports of injuries in these clashes, particularly as police tried a to break protest in the square. This video we believe showing paramilitary connected to the Islamic Revolutionary guard attacking protesters. These cards are often used to suppress the mystic dissent. Irans police chief is urging officers to show restraint. T something they are always known for. Tehrans policeef c is denying his officers have used live ammunition. Heey says ave been treating the people who have gathered with patience and tolence. All of this is a long way from last week, when ron appeared to temporily be united in grief over the assassination by the americans of Qassem Soleimani. He was killed in a drone strike at the baghdad airport. Llions of people turned out for a series of funeral processions. Then, iran responded, firing Ballistic Missiles tohe west against to u. S. Bases in iraq. No one was killed, but today we got a better sense of the damage to one of them west baghdad. Beclinton sommerville has there. Take a a look at the enormo blast that must have taken place. On the other side is a tiny ncrete bunker. Inside is a u. S. Contractor. He was there throughout the these blast walls probably saved his life. Irans intent was to kill, but they failed in that mission, because the americanled Coalition New the attack was coming. These were living quarters, where the troops inside were safe, because they d advanced annoticewere already hunkered down in bunkers. All of these Living Spaces were incinerated. Ros hours after that base was attacked, a ukrainian passenger jet came down close ttehran. Iran initially blamed a technicafailure, buthen saturday, this happened on Iranian State tv. We are sorry. We share the sorrow with victims families. We regret it. This is the price we paid for the tensions in u. S. Activity in the gion. Ros the revolutionary gg rd a tell an operator acted independently, mistaking the plane for a cruise missile, very quickly, the National Unity we had seen the into crumble. One person said i cannot believe this level of lying and pooling in the islamic republic. If the government is denying a amingnment, it is americ [speaking foreign language] we should not forget where the root of this incident started, the night america killed our general. It started conflict in iran. Donaldru caused a social and political turmoil in our country. He used farsi on social media to shed crocodile trs, but iranians will not forget he threatened to target our 52 cultural sites after he killed our general. The root of the protest is because of trends trumps threats. Ros over the weekend, the president said, leaders of the protesters. Kill your the world is watching. He also tweeted a similar message in farsi. Whether enanians wanted uragement from donald trump is difficult to gauge, but they have continued to criticize those in power in their own country. Here on instagram, the captain of the National MensVolleyball Team the shooting down of the plane deceit and stupidity. We should also mention, one of the countrys most famous actors, she says iranians are being treated as hostages. Then there is irans only female olympic medalist. She has defected from the country, says she no longer wants to be a part of what she describes as hypocrisy, lies, injustice, and flattery. For all of this, can we say there is a real threat to the iranian regimes solidity . Here is the iranian journalist in tehran. A couple thousand n the streets were extremely angry or what they call an alleged coverup involving the shooting down of the ukrainian airplane a couple days ago by the irdc air force unit. Lets not forget that there wer almostllion students in this country. These protests dont necessarily present the academic communin. Of this nat ros background on what is going on in iran via the bbc. In a few minutes, i have to show from the philippininary pictures we had seen a volcano iraq, but also volcani lightning, a rare phenomenon. We will show you the best pictures. Ros former Pope Benedict has issued a warning to his successor pope francis not to allow married men to be ordained as priests. Benedict, who rets ed in 2013, oken his silence ihaa book that hs cowritten. It was always going to be an unusual situation here at the vatican with pope francis in charge, living ritually sidebyside with his predecessor, benedict the 16th. What was already an unusual situation has become perhaps toomfortable, at the moment that pope francis is deciding whether or noto achept some married men into priesthood in the amazon region, Pope Benedict has written a book, coauthored, today, saying that should never be allowed to happen. This places pope francis in a difficult position. Does he acce this mited reform, or does he reject it and be seen as bowing to the pressure of his predecessor . Ros m ros atkins. Our lead story is that Queen Elizabeth has given her blessing to prince harry and meghan marle, striking out on thei ownitafter meeting wthe royal family saturday. Here are some of the main from bbc world service. Cory booker has quit the contest to become the democratic president ial nominee, saying his campaign was running out of money. He had been invited to take part in the previous has not been invited to take part in the previous two debates. A man has been rescued after surviving more than three weeks in the alaskanrn wildes after a fire destroyed his cabin. Tyson steele lin dunn can the foodste and made a basi to shelter in during subzero mperatures. Rescuers located him after seeing his sos in the snow. Return to the philippines. The taal volcano is interrupting in spectacular fashion. We have a te lapse photo to show you. I warning, there are flashing images in this footage. Here i one extraordinary video. This phenomenon is largely a mystery to us. Some say it happens when volcanic ash mixes with ice and creates static electricity. We also have this one. He posted it on social media. A couple more social media videos. The s absolutele of this is extraordinary. Lets try to understand a little bit about ats happening. It is rare and we dont fully understand it. What we know. Were with it is one of the most beautiful things that all caps can do. You have lots of High Temperature particles being thrown up, out of the volcanic crater. They are charging upim the diate atmosphere above the volcano. It is almost making its own weather system. That is what that tning is, volcanic eruption. Aused by the ros taal is one of the worlds smallest volcanoes but the second most in the philippines. It is 70 kilometers south of manila. We know that evacuations have been taking place in an area of the radius kilometers, affecting half a million people. This volcano is now on alert level 4 out of five. It is now telling us over 7000 people are staying in evacuation sites. One of the most Serious Health risks from these volcanoes is ash. Ash has already been found more than 100 kilometers from the volcano and is leaving, as you layer of gray dirt and mud. Take a look at this drone footage from a village. Ovabsolutelyed in volcanic ash. Thousands of people started to flee when the ash began to fall on this village. E lets hear from s those evacuees. When it started to drop ash in our areas, that is when we started tovacuate. We experienced about 100 tremors. When we went to the volcanic island, there were many destroyed houses. It is like a desert because of the thickness of the mud. Even my ivated fish were killed. Ros already having an impact on tourism anindustry. Flight operationinto theio internl airport have been temporarily suspended. That is estimated to beaf cting at least 500ghtsor delayeanceled. Howard johnson is our correspondent in the philippines. He is just outside the exclusion zone. Taal volcano has entered a magmatic error option phase. Last night, there was lots of steam , but now there is love of flowing from the volcano. A week flow, but thatth is causg black smoke to billow out of the volcano, affecting the air quality here. Th is affecting International Airports in the city. Lots of flights have been canceled and sepended. Thers ash on the runway. To mleft, you can see ash all over, it has turned into a mud stayed in some places. We also saw pineapples grovecl rly covered in dust. That will no doubt affect the other major risk scientists are saying, there could be a volcanic tsunami. Over here, you can see taal volcano is surrounded by a lake. If there ts an irruptiot could cause the earth to move, displacing the water. S lowlying communituld be affected by a tidal wave, if there is an irruption. Ros Scott Morrison has responded to criticism of his countrys bushfires. No doubt he is under pressure. A new poll fro a local opposition ahead b four points. E go back a few mornings, morrison had a 14point lead. The Prime Minister has been speaking to the public broadcaster, abc there are things i could have handled on the ground much better. These arraw, emotional environments. 95 of the responses ive had in these cases have been very positive and very appreciative. Ros but not all, as he technologies. He was criticized for being on holiday in hawaii as the fires intensified in december, and when to 30 rock firefighters lost their lives. Wha he came back, there wer series of problems. He was hounded by locals i one local town. He was also filmed taking a womans hand and shakingt as she appealed for more resourcesn n kangaroo island, he told locals he was thankful no lives have been lost, but to people had died. The broader chrysostom facing criticism facing morrison is surrounding his inaction on Climate Change. Here he is with a lump of coal in parliament in 2017. His government recently alproved a new ine in queensland. This is why all of this is so politically important. Coal added morebi than 4ion in the estoril in economy in the last year. It employs tens of thousands f mr. Morrison argues australia is a tiny fraction of the Climate Change story. We could close down every single Power Generation facility in the country and those admissions would be taken up by china in about nine days. I think we need to understand global admissions dont have an accent. Frthey com many countries. Ros ets hold on. Less, australias admissions are dwarfed by china, buthina has a larger population. This graph shows Emissions Per Capita in 2017. The darker the red, the higher emission per person. China imminent about seven tons per person. Australia,os a 17 tons per person. Mr. Morrison also doesnt take into account the missions from australias fossil fuels exports. Taken into account, australia ranks third behind saudi arabia. All of that Carbon Dioxide doesnt count ons australiae missions total. Controversis the counting that australia is planning to use too need the paris climate accord. One of the architects has called it cheating. The eu banned its members from doing it this way, but not australia. It is carrying over about 370 million tons ofn car overachievement. Under previous targets under the kyoto deal. Not for the first time, mr. Morrison and a lobby group agree, the council says the use kyoto carryover credits has been accepted and is allowable under the paris agreement. Not according to everyone. Here is Scott Morrison being asked about those carryover credits. Should we use these carryover credits . What im saying to u is, in the years ahead, we a going to continue to evolve our policy in the area to reduce emissions evener fur, and we are going to do it without a carbon tax. Ros no future carbon tax but equally, no answer on the question being asked. Bye bye. Announcer funding for this presentation is made possible by.
