roman catholic nun joins demonstrators, and prays with police. president biden�*s climate envoy, john kerry, calls on the world's 20 most polluting nations to do more to tackle climate change. he's been talking to bbc news. and the schoolgirl left for dead by the taliban who went on to win a nobel prize. malala yusafzai tells us about her new multi—million pound television deal. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. 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 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 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 he hinted that other family members had becomejealous of them after their visit to australia in 2018. 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, i feel 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. to reaction from the white house now, and press secretaryjen psaki has reiterated the �*strong and abiding relationship�* that exists with the british people and what she descrived as �*a special partnership with the government of the united kingdom', but would only briefly comment on the royal interview. here's what she had to say. meghan markle 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. our washington correspondent lebo diseko joins me now. this has had a while to percolate through, the ramifications of all this, how is the response looking?

we tuned in and watched this last night. more than 17 million people watched it last night. the second biggest audience for any non— sport programme this season so huge amount of interest and we have had reaction from the likes of hillary clinton who said she found it heartbreaking and wished that meghan had been more fully embraced and asking questions about the mould that we expect women in certain institutions to fit in. you played the clip earlier of the white house secretary. she was very careful in terms of how she raised it stop she stressed the importance of the relationship with the uk and that harry and meghan are now private citizens but said they were brave and courageous for talking about issues around mental health and that issue of mental health and that issue of mental health, the fact that meghan said she had at some point felt suicidal was something that got a lot of airplay today. a lot of people shocked she did not get the support she had been seeking. perhaps the biggest bombshell and the biggest reaction is the allegation around race and racism within what was called the firm. oprah winfrey has spoken since the interview, on tv this morning, saying she was not surprised that those questions had been asked but was surprised that harry and meghan had chosen to go public with those questions. i think really what we heard on tv here is people asking more broadly about what it says about race and racism in the uk today more widely. and racism in the uk today more widel . . ~ and racism in the uk today more widel . ., ~' ,, , . and racism in the uk today more widel . ., ,, , . ., widely. thank you very much for that. much more to come: mental health and racism in the royal family. the numbers of dead and wounded defied belief. this, the worst terrorist atrocity on european soil in modern times. in less than 2a hours, then, the soviet union lost an elderly sick leader and replaced him with a dynamic figure 20 years his junior. we heard these gunshots in the gym. then he came out through a fire exit and started firing at our huts. god, we were all petrified. james earl ray, aged 41, sentenced to 99 years i and due for parole when he's 90, - 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. what are you going to do now? is it going to change your life much, do you think? i don't know, really — i've never been married before! this is bbc news, the latest headline: the interview sending shock waves through buckingham palace — they are yet to comment on it. let�* stay with of main story now. we're nowjoined by ethiopian—american writer maaza mengiste in new york city. what did you take away from all this? ~ ., , , this? what i witnessed in that interview was _ this? what i witnessed in that interview was a _ this? what i witnessed in that interview was a lot _ this? what i witnessed in that interview was a lot of - interview was a lot of pain, a lot of betrayal and i think i realised that harry and meghan are still not out of this. they are still not out of this. they are speaking to us in the middle of this catastrophic eventin middle of this catastrophic event in their lives on the way i envisioned was two people lost in the woods and they sent a marker somewhere on a path to assert they had been here at one time. this is an ongoing thing but what i saw was devastating last night. the event they _ devastating last night. the event they were _ devastating last night. the event they were describing and the suffering, do you think they are events and the suffering a lot of people would recognise even with this couple's apparent many advantages?— couple's apparent many advantages? this seems a clarion coal _ advantages? this seems a clarion coal that _ advantages? this seems a clarion coal that you - advantages? this seems a l clarion coal that you cannot transcend racism, bigotry, no matter how much money you have, no matter what you do, there are still people intent on hating you simply because of what you look like or where you come from and meghan i feel has recognised that for a lot of her life and i think harry is coming into an awareness of it. he is now intimately connected to this and he realises that his proximity to blackness renders him vulnerable as well. a huge amount of reaction and a broad reign of reaction. a lot of white male privilege around. surely, if you want a media career, people point out — and we know the couple do and they need an income stream — this high—profile interview does no harm?
