Against children damages them, whatever family they are born into. Speaking in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the bbc� s sunday with laura kuenssberg, he also said the press attention suffered by his sister was more dangerous than the attention online surrounding kate, the current princess of wales. With more on this, heres graham satchell. What was the main thrust of the interview . ,. ,. , what was the main thrust of the interview . Interview . This was a searingly honest interview interview . This was a searingly honest interview with interview . This was a searingly honest interview with earl interview . This was a searingly i honest interview with earl spencer and at times difficult to watch, to be honest. Hes written a book about his experiences of his childhood, particularly at Boarding School and he talks about suffering shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and being sexually abused from the age of 11. He also talks in some detail about his experience at home with his sister Princess Diana and particularly suffering at the hands of a violent nanny, nanny forster, this is what he to say. Really damaging violence to children is going to affect them, whatever house they come from, whatever family theyre born into. And that nanny who did that to us, i mean, she used to crack our Heads Together if we were both found to have done something naughty obviously, without my fathers knowledge. But it really hurt. It wasnt a tap on the wrist. It was a cracking crunch, you know, and i remember it still. And i think it emphasises, again, the disconnect of parents. And im really. |m not a critic of my parents. They did their best, like 98 of parents do. And i think, again, it was just normal you leave it to the nanny to deal with this. I have two older sisters, and only later was it found out that a different nanny was punishing them by ladling laxatives down them, and my parents couldnt work out why they were constantly ill. So you were dealing with a very unstructured world of privileged parents living parallel lives to their children. But you and diana and your other sisters were then brought up even in a Home Environment where staff, nannies who were hired to look after you, were hurting you. Again, i dont think we realised that that was wrong. We knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid. But i think children dont know morality necessarily at that stage, or certainly the law. So it was something that we lived with. And you can see theyre the sort of shocking revelations of what happened at home, but i think even more honest, really, is his description of what government he went to school. He says he had a headmaster who used to routinely beat him, he describes them as a sadistic thrashing for sexual gratification, and he says he was groomed by a 20 year old Assistant Matron who sexually abused him from the age of ii. He says this experience of childhood left traumatised and angry, and he carried that anger with him throughout the whole of his adult life. He says that it informed the way he gave the eulogy for Princess Dianas funeral in 1997. He was really angry in that eulogy at the establishment, and the press who he played for his sisters death and he says he can trace that back to the way he was treated in childhood at school. He said he had an absolute hatred of injustice and non truth. So with a fascinating insight into Princess Dianas brother. Did so with a fascinating insight into Princess Dianas brother. Princess dianas brother. Did he have anything Princess Dianas brother. Did he have anything to Princess Dianas brother. Did he have anything to say Princess Dianas brother. Did he have anything to say about Princess Dianas brother. Did he have anything to say about the l have anything to say about the current princess of wales, who we havent seen in public since her surgery .

He did, but only in passing. I think it surgery . He did, but only in passing. I think it was surgery . He did, but only in passing. I think it was very i surgery . He did, but only in passing. I think it was very clear in the interview that he didnt really want to talk about current members of the royal family. Really want to talk about current members of the royalfamily. There are obvious comparisons between his sister diana and catherine, the princess of wales. Both women subject to extraordinary public scrutiny and intrusion, as you say, catherine is now the centre of this swirl of conspiracy theories, probably because she hasnt been seen since january after her surgery, and earl spencer was asked in the interview if the dangers of the online conspiracy world today are more potent than the Press Intrusion that surrounded his Sister Intrusion that surrounded his sister in the 1990s, this was his reply. I think it was more dangerous back in the day. Ithink. Yeah, if i look back to 97 and dianas death, i think that was so shocking the circumstances of her death was so shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldnt do, not because they had a moraljudgment but because it was unacceptable to the public. Were suffering from the events of 1997 but is still very raw for him exactly what happened to his sister then. So really interesting interview that i think is on tomorrow morning on the bbc. The full interview with Charles Spencer will be broadcast on bbc one and available on the bbc Iplayerfor Uk viewers on sunday at 9am gmt.

We heard from the Press Conference that this is an the latest . We heard from the Press Conference that this is an ongoing i conference that this is an ongoing situation, is not clear how many hostages this man has taken but we know he is barricaded inside a property in the town of trenton, new jersey, not far from property in the town of trenton, new jersey, not farfrom new property in the town of trenton, new jersey, not far from new york city, and a helicopter is there at the scene and has been sending live pictures of this siege, they show a heavily armed swat Team Surrounded the house and police have actually pulled up outside the property in a large armoured vehicle. So quite a lot of firepower on display here. As you heard in that snippet of the news conference, we dont have a lot of information. I can tell you what we do know. We know that this morning in the town of. In the town in pennsylvania, there was a number of shootings, so the suspect is 26 year old andre gordon, he shot a number of people at two separate locations, this is where the local district attorneys officer said, they said the victims were known to him and that this was a domestic incident and this wasnt some sort of random shooting, these victims were known to him and Police Sources have told the bbc that three people were confirmed dead, and that this was a domestic incident and people were told to stay in their homes while the police searched for this suspect. That shelter in place order has now been lifted, but after these two separate shootings, the suspect then carried out a car jacking nearby, stole a car and drove to trenton, newjersey, where police say that he is linked to an address there. I say this man is homeless but he has been linked to a couple of addresses in the area and thats where he appears to have barricaded himself in that house with an unknown number of hostages. So a very fluid situation and the terrifying incident for local residents in pennsylvania today. Well, thank you. Will vernon in washington with the latest on Hostage Situation in newjersey. Talks aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages in gaza could resume on sunday in qatar. Egyptian officials said hamas has presented a new proposal for a three stage plan to end the fighting. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has called the proposal unrealistic, but has agreed to send israeli negotiators to qatar. It comes as the first maritime humanitarian aid shipment to gaza has been unloaded on to the shore, containing 200 tonnes of food desperately needed for gaza. The us charity behind the Mission World central kitchen is carrying out the mission in co operation with the united arab emirates. Speaking ahead of a two day trip to the middle east, the german chancellor urged israel to allow unlimited humanitarian aid into gaza. Translation we have a difficult situation. It is necessary for aid to reach gaza on a larger scale. That will be a topic i also have to talk about. We are also concerned about the further advancement of military developments. In particular there is a danger that a large full scale offensive in rafah will result in many terrible civilian casualties. Which must be avoided at all costs. We will have to talk about the long term perspective. The question of how a peaceful coexistence between a palestinian state and israel can succeed. Earlier today, Gazas Health Ministry updated the number of people who have been killed in the territory since israel launched its Military Action there in october, to 31,553 with 63 people overnight. Most of the People Killed are women and children. Mark lowen is in East Jerusalem and joins us now.
