A day after being thrown out of the english premiership, saracens keep the european hopes alive with victory over racing 92. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The duke and duchess of sussex are able to begin establishing the details of how their new life free from royal duties will work, after the agreement announced yesterday by the queen. She was at church near sandringham this morning as the Prime Minister borisjohnson said he wished harry and meghan the best and was sure the royal family would find a way forward. But Thomas Markle the duchesss father has accused them of cheapening a great institution. Heres our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. The words the queen used yesterday about harry and meghan where warm and supportive, but the deal done with them by her officials was an uncompromising one. The reputation of the royal family must be protected. Its already been battered by prince andrews misjudgment and the family doesnt want any embarrassment from the sussexes once theyre cut loose in canada. I think families are always a problem and i think shes dealt with it incredibly well. Ijust think its a shame. And its a shame with the little one as well. Yeah. Yeah, for the whole family. William, charles, everybody. It is. As long as were not paying for the lifestyle theyre hoping to live, then i dont have a problem with that. There was support, too, from the Prime Minister. I think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future. I said before that i was sure that the royal family, which has been around a very long time, will find a way forward and im sure it will. But there was a very much less supportive judgment from meghans estranged father, thomas. This is like one of the greatest long living institutions ever. Theyre destroying it. Theyre cheapening it. Theyre making it shabby. Theyre turning it into a walmart with a crown on it. Its slightly more than two years ago that harry and meghan did their First Official engagement together in nottingham. Come this spring, there will be no more of this. They wont be allowed to use their royal rank or to represent the queen. There will be questions about his immigration status in canada, and her declared aim of securing british citizenship. They can earn money, but theyll be expected to avoid anything unseemly. The palace is wary of the american advisors meghan has around her. Theyve already trademarked sussex royal as a charitable and social media vehicle for the couple. But is the use of the word royal still appropriate . Thats just one of the matters still under discussion. All these new arrangements will take effect in the spring. They will be reviewed in 12 months time. But for now, the die is cast. One of the most Popular Figures within the royalfamily is preparing with his wife to say farewell. Nicholas witchell, bbc news, at buckingham palace. The duke and duchess of sussexs official royal duties will cease in the spring, which means theyll no longer be able to throw as much of a spotlight on Charitable Organisations and causes. Our royal correspondent Daniela Relph has been exploring the impact their support has had. Birkenhead a year ago. Harry and meghan at work. Here viewing a sculpture created to mark the hundredth anniversary of the death of the war poet wilfred owen. This is the bread and butter of royal duty that they will no longer do. The couple met the artist who created the sculpture. For him, the visit of a royal prince, who is also an army veteran, really mattered. It brought a huge amount to the town. To the credibility of the project as well. It was big enough on its own, but that little extra bit that the royal brought was incredible. It was phenomenal. It was a very worthy thing, and it will be sadly missed. Royal duty had, on the surface, appeared to suit harry and meghan. They had a natural ease with the public. And, crucially, a more relaxed, informal approach helped them engage with younger, more diverse communities. And im in the same room as the royal couple right now. Much of this kind of work now stops. But they will hang on to some of their projects, those where they are not formally representing the queen. That is where their passion lies, both of them. They are people who want to do good things in the world. And thats their vehicle for doing them. And so i think its great that theyre hanging onto those. The royal family brand is big business, especially here in windsor. It is home for harry and meghan in the uk. Although theyll be spending much less time here, there is support for the decision theyve made. I think probably getting away from it all is. Its their choice and, you know, i think they could have gone about it a little bit differently, but, you know, you dont know what goes on behind closed doors and thats just the way it goes. Palace Officials Say the talks over harry and meghans future have been friendly and constructive. But there will be disappointment within the family that the potential of harry and meghan as working royals wont be realised. Daniela relph, bbc news.

World leaders have gathered in berlin for the bmp summit and have agreed to uphold the arms embargo as part of the peace efforts. The agreement aims to stop the flow of foreign weapons and trips into the country. Libya has been plagued for the last nine years by fighting between forces loyal to the un backed government and the self styled Libyan National army. The german chancellor Angela Merkel said a special committee would be subject oversee the Peace Process and ensure the truce becomes a full cease fire. Translation we received commitments by all of the participants that, until this meeting, the participants of the conference of today commit themselves to not give any further support to these parties to the conflict and in the sense that they dont give any sort of military support to them, they also will not give them weapons so that the arms embargo is respected and teachers hold. I think we created a spirit today that will enable us to pursue the track this path forward outlined. Lets go to our correspondentjenny hill, who was in berlin. These agreements have been made. Without those two key characters actually sitting down face to face . Characters actually sitting down facetoface . Thats correct. They refused to sit in the same room together that is something which the summit organisers knew from the very beginning. They said the fact that all the key players were released in the same city together was an achievement in itself. Lets be clear about what we have seen happening today. Libyas conflict, civil war, has been grossly exacerbated in recent months by the intervention of a foreign powers who have been aiding both sides, sending them trips, weapons, money and so on. Today, many of those foreign powers in berlin, people like russia, turkey, the united arab emirates, have agreed that they. Sending troops, weapons and money into the country. Crucially, this weapons embargo which has not been observed, the agreement they have come to tonight does not cover the troops and weaponry that are already in the country. Even while the delegates were holding their talks this afternoon, it emerged that troops loyal to general haftar challenging the un backed libyan Prime Minister, had cut off a really Important Oil pipeline in the country. Its clear that this is not going to make everything better overnight but the summit organisers believe this is a very important First Step Towards a road to peace. There has been no truce agreed and, as you say, those two warring factions certainly have not agreed to put down their disagreement and work towards peace just yet, but what is now in the pipeline, we are told, are a series of meetings potentially between those two sites and so the whole aim of the summit was to try and, if you like, take some of the sting out of the conflict, so that those two warring factions have at least a chance towards a lasting peace. Jenny, the whole of north and africa affected by the difficult situation in libya. How is what is taking place in libya affecting the wider region . There are three main concerns amongst all of the legates here here in berlin. Libya being a very oil rich country, discomfort discerning to affect oil supply. That is a problem. For europe particularly, there are two concerns, though. First of all, the instability in the region is said to be exacerbating islamist terrorism in northern africa. That is something which europe is particularly concerned about. This is just across the mediterranean. And secondly, they are very concerned about the flow of people fleeing the conflict. Libya exactly already hosting tens of thousands of refugees. Its also known as a gateway to europe for many migrants and refugees wanting to make that journey. There are concerns, certainly here in berlin and beyond, that if that conflict is not the escalated, actually, europe could start to see far more people coming in and seeking asylum here. And finally, jenny, i understand turkish troops are already around tripoli porting the un backed government. Does this tell me that they will be removed from the country . In theory, no, and that is what easily crucial to point out about this agreement. Mrs merkel was asked very specifically by this point and she said no. What happens to the trips into the weapons already in the country will be discussed as part of any future truce negotiation what happens to the troops and to the weapons. All thats been agreed to tonight in berlin is that those foreign powers want to be sending any more support to the warring factions. You can seejust any more support to the warring factions. You can see just how many threads there are to be pulled apart here. But i think pretty much all those delegates will say, this has been an important first step. No one expected the libyan conflicts to be solved overnight here in berlin but the so called berlin process wasnt simply about just starting to de escalate the situation. Its fair to say that for most of the delegates in that room, its only really in the last few months that theyve started to be very concerned about this conflict and about the knock on effect upon their own countries and in particular, as we have said before, on european countries. This is simply a first step. It will go before the un security council, which means this un weapons embargo, already in place but which has been flouted in recent months should have a bit of a sting should any of those parties decide to flout it again. Ok, khalifa 0k, ok,jenny hill ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. Borisjohnson has ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. Boris johnson has been ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. Borisjohnson has been on the silence of those talks in berlin, including his first meeting with russian president latimer putin. The pendants are warned there would be no normalisation of relations with russia until it ended what he called the deepest stabilising used to the destabilising of the uk and its allies. A bbc investigation has seen documents that show how africa s Richest Woman made herfortune through exploiting her own country and corruption. Isabel dos santos is the daughter of the former angolan president , eduardo dos santos. The documents show she got access to lucrative deals involving land, diamonds, oil and telecoms while herfather was in power. Ms dos santos has denied any wrongdoing. Richard bilton reports. Isabel dos santos is africas richest women. She lives in london with a glamorous life and famous friends. A leak of more than 700,000 documents from her Business Empire was obtained by the platform to protect whistle blowers in africa, and shared with the International Consortium of investigativejournalists. Much of Isabel Dos Santoss wealth comes from some very dubious deals. Her father is eduardo dos santos, who ruled angola for 38 years. And he followed a pattern he would issue a decree or order, his daughter and her family would get deals on land, telecoms, even for buying and selling angolas diamonds. The documents show, as the years go by, the deals keep coming, and her fortune grows. I think that she got the opportunity to become rich and take the opportunity that her father, by decree, would transfer state assets, state monies, to her. Take oil. Angola has vast reserves. The state oil company, sonangol, gave Isabel Dos Santos a very good deal on a very valuable asset. She was able to buy a lucrative stake in a Portuguese Energy company by paying only 15 up front. The rest turned into a loan from sonangol. That deal made her three quarters of a billion euros. Thats absolutely the definition of corruption. She was put in a favoured position because she was the daughter of the president. It got worse. The president later made his daughter head of sonangol. She says it was a sensible move. I worked for them as a consultant. Then, after i finished my consultancy work, invited me and asked if i would consider a position to become sonangols chairperson. Isabel dos santoss lawyers deny all the bbcs allegations and say shes been involved in no wrongdoing. They say its a politically motivated witch hunt by the angolan government and the deal with the Energy Company earned sonangol money. But her father is no longer president , and angola wants answers. These documents tell the story of where Isabel Dos Santoss fortune really comes from. Richard bilton, bbc news, angola. And you can watch more on that story in panorama the corrupt billionaire which is on bbc one tomorrow night at 8. 30pm. The areas of australia worst hit by bushfires are now at risk of flash flooding and power cuts as a result of rainstorms. In the state of victoria, many fires have been put out by the storms but giant hailstones have also damaged property. John donnison reports. In a year of extreme weather, for australians, it doesnt just rain, it pours. Hailstones the size of golf balls in the state of victoria. So intense, it shattered roofs. And all this in the middle of summer, as large parts of the country continue to burn. In melbourne, battered by high winds, few can remember such a dramatic shift in weather. Such a freak storm. I was watching television, i went into the bedroom and i just looked out the window and the gumtree, which is two stories high, just disappeared. It was a white out at this birthday party, abandoned as people huddled for shelter. And this is a cricket pitch. No chance of a resumption in play any time soon, with more rain and hailforecast in the next 2a hours. But after months of hot temperatures fuelling the devastating fires, this, for many, will be welcome relief. John donnison, bbc news.
