this is bbc news. the headlines at seven: britain's most decorated olympian, sir bradley wiggins announces his retirement from cycling. the 36—year—old — who became the first british cyclist to win the tour de france — said he had been lucky enough to fulfil his "childhood aspiration." relations between the us and israel sour as the israeli prime minister accuses the us secretary of state, john kerry of bias overjewish settlements the us secretary of state, john kerry, says a two—state solution is the only way to achieve peace between israel and palestinian, but warned the plan was in "serious jeopardy." one woman has died and several people have been injured, after a series of crashes in ice and fog on the aao in oxfordshire. and in the next hour, health officials warn of a "middle—aged health crisis" in england. people between the ages of a0 and 60 are being advised to change their lifestyles to avoid type two diabetes. public health england says eighty per cent of that age group are overweight and inactive.

good evening and welcome to bbc news. we're going to take you right back to benjamin netanyahu who is speaking in jerusalem to benjamin netanyahu who is speaking injerusalem in response to dawn kerry's earlier statement. hundreds of suicide bombers, millions of israelis in bomb showers are not throwaway lines in a speech. they are the realities of the people of israel had to endure because of

mistaken policies, policies that at the time won the thunderous applause of the world. i don't seek applause, i seek the security and peace and prosperity and the few of the jewish state, the jewish prosperity and the few of the jewish state, thejewish people have sought there place under the sun for 3000 yea rs there place under the sun for 3000 years and we're not about to be swayed by mistaken policies that have coast great damage. thousands of israeli families have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country and advance peace. my family has been one of them and there are many hours. israel remains committed to resolving the outstanding differences between us and the palestinians through direct

negotiations. this is how we made peace with egypt and jordan. it's the only way we'll make peace with the only way we'll make peace with the palestinians. that has always been israel's policy. that has a lwa ys been israel's policy. that has always been america's policy. here's what president 0bama himself said of the un in 2011. he said, peace is ha rd the un in 2011. he said, peace is hard work, peace will not come through statements and resolutions of the united nations. if it were that easy, it would have been accomplished by now. that's what president 0bama said, and he was right will stop until last week, this was repeated over and over again as american policy. stick aj carey said the united states cannot vote against its own policy —— senator kerry, but that's what it did and that is why israel oppose

the un security ‘s resolution because it essentially calls the western wall occupied palestinian territory because it encourages boycotts a nd territory because it encourages boycotts and sanctions against israel, and because it reflects a radical shift in us policy towards the palestinians, those issues we a lwa ys the palestinians, those issues we always agreed have to be negotiated directly, face—to—face, without preconditions. that shift happens despite the palestinians walking away from peace and from peace offers time and time again, despite their refusal to even negotiate peace for the past eight years and despite the palestinian authority creating a culture of hatred towards israel and the generation of young palestinians. israel looks forward to working with president donald trump and the american congress,

democrats and republicans alike, to mitigate the damage that this resolution has done and ultimately to repeal it. israel hopes that the outgoing 0bama administration will prevent outgoing 0bama administration will p reve nt a ny outgoing 0bama administration will prevent any more damage being done to israel and the un in its waning days. i wish i could be comforted by the promise that the us says we will not bring any more resolutions to the un. that's what they said about previous resolutions. we have it on uncontestable evidence that the united states organised, advanced and brought this resolution to the united nations security council. we will share that information with you in the coming administration. some of it is sensitive but it's all true. he saw some of it in the protocol released. there's plenty more, it's the tip of the iceberg.

they could take john more, it's the tip of the iceberg. they could takejohn kerry's speech, it could be raised in the french international conference in a few days from now and brought to the next one. france will bring it or sweden, not in altered friend of israel, could bring it, and the united states could see, we can't vote against our own policy. they've just enunciated it. i think the united states if it is true to its word, or at least if it is now true to its word, should come out and say we will not allow any resolutions, any more resolutions in the security council on israel, period. we will not allow any and stop this game of charades. i think the decisions that are vital to israel's interests and the future of its children, they

won't be made through speeches in washington or votes in the united nations conferences in paris. they will be made by the government of israel around the negotiating table, making them on behalf of the one and onlyjewish state, a sovereign nation that is the master of its own fate. 0ne nation that is the master of its own fate. one final thought, nation that is the master of its own fate. 0ne finalthought, i personally know the pain, the laws and the suffering of war. that's why i'm so committed to peace because for anyone who has experienced it as i have, war for anyone who has experienced it as ihave, waron for anyone who has experienced it as i have, war on terror are horrible —— warand i have, war on terror are horrible —— war and terror are horrible. i wa nt —— war and terror are horrible. i want young palestinian children to be educated for peace but they are not educated for peace. the palestinian authority educates them to lionise terrorists and murderers really is. my vision is that israelis and palestinians both have

a future of mutual recognition, of dignity and mutual respect, coexistence, but the palestinian authority tell them that they will never accept and should never accept the existence of the jewish never accept and should never accept the existence of thejewish state, so the existence of thejewish state, soi the existence of thejewish state, so i ask, how can you make peace with someone who rejects you very existence? this conflict is not about houses or communities in the west bank, the gazza district or anywhere else, this conflict is and has always been about israel's fairy right to exist —— very right to exist. that's why my calls for peace talks have gone unanswered and my invitation was never answered. that's why the palestinian government continues to pay anyone who murders israelis a salary. the

refusal to recognise israel remains the core of the conflict. palestinian rejection of israel and support for terror are what the nations of the world should focus on if they truly want to advance peace andi if they truly want to advance peace and i can only express my regret and say that it's a shame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. thank you. studio: the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking about the present tensions between his country and the united states, choosing not to focus on the issue of israeli settlement but rather on the palestinian authority's rejection to recognising the right of israel to exist and throwing forward also to the prospect of the incoming president donald trump who

he says he hopes will hope to heal the damage that has been done in recent weeks. those comments by prime minister netanyahu follow an earlier speech by the current secretary of state john earlier speech by the current secretary of statejohn kerry in which he won that settlement building in the west bank threatens both hope for peace with palestinians and israel's own future asa palestinians and israel's own future as a democracy. 0ur palestinians and israel's own future as a democracy. our middle east correspondent reports from jerusalem. another bit of row between outgoing and incoming us president's, this time over israel. donald trump says that the country is treated with disdain and disrespect but tells it to stay strong until he takes office. tonight's speech byjohn kerry angered the president—elect. he said chances of peace with the palestinians were slipping away. the truth is that trends on the ground,

violence, terrorism, incitement, settle m e nt violence, terrorism, incitement, settlement expansion and the seemingly endless occupation, they are combining to destroy hopes for peace on both sides. this follows last week's un security council resolution, calling for a total halt in israeli settlement building on occupied land. the us didn't use its veto power to protect israel as a customer leaders. the obama administration has just three weeks left but is still trying to make a difference even the middle east, knowing that when donald trump takes over, he will you much more supportive of israel and its position on settlements and judicial in particular. if possible, it would like to tie his hands. the secretary of state complains that setters in israel's government are defining the future in israel. a popular processed —— pro—settler member was quick to give his response.

processed —— pro—settler member was quick to give his responsem processed —— pro—settler member was quick to give his response. it was a good speech but detached from reality. kerry is leaving a genocide in syria and iran and throwing israel under the bus. the us oversaw two rounds of peace talks between israel and the palestinians during the obama years. both broke down acrimoniously. the waiters would like to advance peace efforts in the coming days. the danger is that it's too little, too late. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:45 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining ben brown tonight are laura hughes, political correspondent at the daily telegraph and tom bergin, business correspondent at reuters. good evening and welcome to bbc news. britain's most decorated olympian and tour de france winner sir bradley wiggins has announced his retirement from cycling. in a statement this afternoon he said he had been lucky enough to live a dream and make a career out of a sport he fell in love with when he was 12.

it ends a stunning career which also brought him world championships and many other honours. but it follows questions about medical treatments he received in training. this report from our sports news correspondent richard conway. on the road and on the track sir bradley wiggins dominated his sport like few others. gold medallist and olympic champion, bradley wiggins. he is the uk's most decorated olympian winning eight medals over 16 years. in 2012 he became the first briton to claim the tour de france title. achievements which took him on a path to the palace. but after so much success over the years, sir bradley wiggins's remarkable career has finally come to a halt, saying that he has fulfilled all of his childhood dreams and aspirations. it is easy sitting here with the glory of winning but when you're out there, at any moment you think you idiot, why do you carry on?

i always wanted to go out on the top. bradley wiggins kindled his love of cycling at his local club in london and aged 12 he knew what he wanted to achieve, telling his teachers that one day he would be an olympic champion. he delivered on a promise, winning his first gold medal at the athens games in 200a. all at a time when british cycling success was far from normal. and his personality intertwined with the love of mod culture helped him transcend and popularise his sword. and popularise his sport. his retirement comes at a time of heightened scrutiny into his career. earlier this year russian hackers revealed that he had been given powerful steroid injections before three key races including his 2012 tour de france win. the substance involved is banned under normal circumstances as it can be performance—enhancing

but bradley wiggins legally and legitimately applied for a medical exemption, he says to treat hay fever. this was about trying to find a way not to get an unfair advantage but to put myself back on a level playing field to compete at the highest level. one of britain's brightest sporting careers is now at an end, but it was one that was coloured throughout by gold and yellow. joining me is michael hutchinson from cycling weekly. at the minute i think his legacy has a provisional nature because we have these recent revelations from the russian hackers. if you were to take a measure of that of his reputation

this summer, he was one of those extraordinary athletes who had entirely transcended his sport and it's not hard to imagine him in ten 01’ it's not hard to imagine him in ten or 15 years, people will be seeing, who do you think you are, bradley wiggins? he's done that kind of thing and for most general sports fans, ithink thing and for most general sports fans, i think he's going to stay that way because he has define cycling at a point in britain were cycling at a point in britain were cycling has grown and grown and he's been part of that and has been the head figure for so many new people coming into cycling so i think a large part of his reputation is secure but in the cycling community i think there are quite a lot of people waiting to hear the result of the independent inquiry into the medication issues from september. and how much of a shadow does that cast over what is otherwise undoubtedly an absolutely glittering career? it's hard to judge, undoubtedly an absolutely glittering career? it's hard tojudge, it's probably too soon to judge. i think

most people will tend to regard what has been going on as something of a technicality. i think people who are more interested in the fine detail on the history of the sport, i think there will be a?, but clearly we need to see the result of the inquiry is and we're expecting a report in january, we inquiry is and we're expecting a report injanuary, we need to see what that says first. i think most people aren't going to mind. most people aren't going to mind. most people will think bradley wiggins in the yellow shirt opening the london olympics in 2012 and becoming the defining figure of those games for so defining figure of those games for so many people. many thanks for joining us. let's go back to those comments by their —— netanyahu in response to john kerry's defence of the american government's us policy on israel. we canjoin our washington

correspondent. what we seem to have 110w correspondent. what we seem to have now is an out and out row between benjamin netanyahu and the us secretary of state. is this really what the us government would have wanted? certainly is not going to go down very well. netanyahu's words are not going to go down well with john kerry but will he mind? he's leaving his post in the next few days, less than 3.5 weeks before the new administration takes over and he might feel that he's made his point, but we do understand this is a speech thatjohn kerry had wanted to make for some time but the white house had held it back, they were worried about prime minister netanyahu's worried about prime minister neta nyahu's response which worried about prime minister netanyahu's response which we have seen netanyahu's response which we have seen and maybe they were right to have been worried, perhaps they thought it would poison any peace process but whatjohn kerry has done todayis process but whatjohn kerry has done today is lay down a road map of what he would like to have seen happen, this two state solution he has been

pushing for but what he says the conditions on the ground are not in the right place for at this moment. what we have is an —— a road map by an outgoing secretary of state which you will not have time to implement and criticism from israel about an administration which is not one that they will have to deal with. what they will have to deal with. what they will have to deal with. what they will have to look forward to is donald trump and already donald trump is saying, look, i will be your friend, israel. trump is saying, look, i will be yourfriend, israel. he has condemned american policies towards israel in tweets and said that they have shown total disdain for israel was the last few weeks and he said stay strong, israel, i'll be taking power on january 20. couldn't this response by neta nyahu power on january 20. couldn't this response by netanyahu have been entirely anticipated and isn'tjohn kerry in danger of having just played into donald trump's hands?”

think he's laying down a marker as what she felt that she wanted to do and relations between the obama administration and the prime minister netanyahu administration and the prime minister neta nyahu has administration and the prime minister netanyahu has not been totally friendly for some time so he may have felt, look, i've got nothing to lose and he warned the administration to come that the single state solution that perhaps he feels israel is aiming for is not one that will end in peace. his message to israel is, do you want to bea message to israel is, do you want to be ajewish message to israel is, do you want to be a jewish state governing millions of palestinians or do you want to be a democracy living side—by—side in a separate palestinian state? he feels that israel is opting for the former rather than the latter and he says that cannot end in a piece that will last —— peace. donald trump has chosen an ambassador that does not favour a two state solution. david

freeman says he's pro—settlement when it comes to israel is building on occupied land and has also said that he accused 0bama on occupied land and has also said that he accused obama of being an anti—semite. he's also want donald trump would like to move the us embassy to jerusalem and another controversial move. don't be assured he will be the friend of netanyahu. will that work as the two try to work towards a middle east peace process ? work towards a middle east peace process? it might be easier relations with israel but palestinians have already voiced their concerns. a woman has died after up to 20 vehicles were involved in a series of collisions on the aao near witney in oxfordshire. the crashes stretched for more than half a mile and took place in fog this morning. sangita myska sent this report from the scene. photographs ta ken minutes after this morning's crash showing chilling detail, the mangled wreckage of at least 20 vehicles. eyewitnesses described seeing cars skidding across the road through thick fog,

smashing into one another, spilling debris across two lanes of the a40. i was justjoining the aao when i'd seen the brake lights and hazard lights, so i came to a stop and then obviously i got out of the vehicle and saw the carnage ahead and the carnage behind. emotions were very high. people were obviously scared. it was a bit like a movie scene, really. a lot of havoc, people injured. a lot of destruction. this afternoon, recovery vehicles continued to clear wreckage in an attempt to reopen a road that links london to wales. it is several hours since the accident this morning and you can see there are about a dozen vehicles yet to be cleared from this part of the a40. there is still a thick fog over this area of road. visibility now is probably about 200 metres. police officers here tell me that this morning, when the crashes happened, drivers could see no further than about 15 metres ahead

and that there was black ice on this road. one woman in her 50s died at the scene of the crash. two other people remain in a serious condition in hospital. as families continue to crisscross britain this holiday, the police are urging travellers to check weather conditions and to drive with caution. police are appealing for help tracing two young sisters who have gone missing from the west midlands home. the ten—year—old and 11—year—olds were last seen yesterday evening in aston in birmingham. police were called three hours later when family members found that the siblings had gone. middle—aged people are putting themselves at risk of serious health problems unless they take action to change their lifestyles, according to health officials. public health england says 80% of 40 to 60—year—olds are overweight, drinking too much and not getting enough exercise. it says "modern life" is putting

middle aged people at a greater risk of developing diseases like type two diabetes. here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. this is the trim new look of lee parker since exercising and changing his diet. a few months ago he weighed 22 stone but now he can fit into one of those old trouser legs. the wake—up call came when his seven—year—old son told that he loved him even though he was fat. huxley it was a case ofjust, shall we order a pizza tonight? we had filled in but could not be bothered cooking it. you just become a bit lazy and drawn out with the daily grind of routine. figures show worrying trends, almost 80% of women aged 40 to 60 are either overweight, abuse, physically inactive or drinking more beneficial guidelines and almost 90% of men fall into the same category. —— obese. amongst the health risks is diabetes, it has doubled in this age group in the past 20 years

and treatment costs the nhs in england an estimated £14 billion per year. the reason we're seeing these increases in chronic disease like cancer, stroke and heart disease, is in a large part because of behaviours adopted during the 40 to 60 age period, so still smoking, not taking enough physical activity or drinking too much alcohol. and public health england is offering some help. this is the online health quiz that government officials want 40 to 60 rolls to take part in. it is on the one you website and asks question about whether you are a man or woman and why you might want to become more healthy. it looks pretty straightforward, but the question is, will it help to tackle the health crisis for middle—aged people? it is extremely hard, i have no willpower whatsoever and life is too good and we have

too much choice. i lead a very unhealthy lifestyle. fatty food, smoking and drinking, no exercise. there is too much temptation, it is too lazy to go to the supermarket and buy a ready meal and put it in the microwave. it is not that difficult to be healthy if you put your mind to it. the government is hoping to nudge people into following the example of lee, with attacks on sugary drinks which comes in in 2018 and is also expected to help. but many health professionals and campaigners are concerned that measures still do not go far enough. the israeli prime minister's speak over occupied territories in palestinian, the palestinian

president says he is ready to resume peace talks if israel halt the construction. that is a remark by the palestinian president just construction. that is a remark by the palestinian presidentjust now. german prosecutors have arrested a 40—year—old tunisian man in connection with the truck attack that killed twelve people at a christmas market in berlin. they say his contact details were found on the phone of the man who drove the lorry — anis amri — and that further investigations have shown he may have been involved in the attack. the coastguard in kent has called off an extensive search for the night after a fishing boat sank around 17 miles off ramsgate. one person has died and another was found clinging to the upturned hull early this morning and was airlifted to hospital. our correspondent simon jones has more. capsized. it's believed the fishing boat from belgium overturned at 11 o'clock last night. but it wasn't until first light some eight hours later that one of the crew members was spotted by another boat,

clinging to the hull. lucky to be alive? absolutely, yeah. i mean at this time of year, in the southern north sea, water temperature about 9.5 degrees and the air temperature less than that. so yes, a significant risk in terms of hypothermia. but yeah, he's in the proper care of the hospital authorities at present. he was able to tell his rescuers that two of his fellow crew members were missing, prompting a major response. two lifeboats from ramsgate have been taking part in the search, which has also involved two divers and a doctor being flown in from belgium. the huge operation taking place around 17 miles off the coast from here. after several hours, a second crew member was found, showing signs of life, but later died in hospital. the search for the third man has now been called off for the day. although the coastguard says it's possible for people to survive in the water at this time of year for 15 hours, hope is now fading. that's get the weather.

some hazardous weather tonight and tomorrow. freezing fog continues to expand across the heart of england and into eastern wales. northern ireland and scotland are getting away with it for the most part but first thing in the morning it doesn't look pretty across parts of england and east wales. it will be sunny to start the day in some areas but inland, expect some of that freezing fog. some icy surfaces. there is a warning from the met office. further north, the odd pocket of frost across eastern scotland but generally milder, the odd patch of drizzle across scotland. the odd dizzle will continue through the day. otherwise, brightness at times for england and wales. inland, the fog will be loathe to lift and there will be low

cloud around. mid—single figures typically, one or two places a great deal more. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7.30pm: britain's most decorated olympian, sir bradley wiggins, has announced his retirement from professional cycling. the 36—year—old has won eight olympic medals, five of them gold, as well as the tour de france in 2012. the us is accused of bias by israel after us secretary of state john kerry warned settlement building in the west bank threatens hope for peace deal. a woman has been killed and a dozen people have been hurt this morning after a number of collisions in ice and fog on the a40 in oxfordshire. around 20 vehicles were involved. 80% of middle—aged people in england are overweight, don't exercise or drink too much,

experts have warned. public health england says the medical system is facing a crisis because of unhealthy lifestyles. police in germany say they have detained a 40—year—old tunisian man in connection with the lorry attack on a berlin christmas market earlier this month that killed 12 people. let's get more now on the warning from health officials that middle aged people in england are at risk unless they change their lifestyles. lee parker spoke to jane hill earlier about the impact living a healthier lifestyle has had on his life. before i started my fitness journey, i was 22.5 stone, back in august and

i have lost five stone to date. you were 22 stone at what age? this age, so, in16 you were 22 stone at what age? this age, so, in 16 weeks i have lost it. with all my fitness and running,. but for you, it's changing what you have been eating, what or how much, but also taking part in physical exercise? the exercise was a big part. without it, we do —— to be prepping for work, and it had to change. what i'm interested in his that you have had a little family support and i wonder if that's a real difference. is that beneficial? definitely. myself and my partner both started the journey. my partner has lost 2.5 stone and we have any ageing old boy and he inspired me to

get off the sofa because he said that he loved me so much even though you are fat, i still love you. those words are harsh, because children say what they see. when people say to you, i don't have time to go running or to the gym, or to get on a big, what is your response to that? you just have to make the time, find the time to change your life. even taking the dog out, you just have two to look at yourself and fitted a new lifestyle as much as you can. so bradley wiggins has announced his retirement. we have heard that it is

not a big surprise. he was intending to announce his retirement in november. then he got so retirement in november. then he got so many accolades, she said, how can i walk away from this atmosphere and his people. he has come up with the decision that at 36, 40 when he goes for his next olympic medals, it may be tend to go. heavily to assess his legacy? there is no doubt he has been the greatest cyclist we have ever produced and in all his father would be proud because his father was a professional cyclist. i think that

he was the first british cyclist to win the tour difference. —— tour de france. has recognised your was fairly specialists and the most coveted track record on the record books and of course you have all these olympic medals, five of them, and he has eight world championship medals. he has been the very, very best. as well as his undoubted success , best. as well as his undoubted success, he is also some of that cut through. somebody that people knew as the character even if they weren't interested in cycling. you could always reckon on him saying something quite different to everybody else. i remember when he won the british sports personality of the year and they pull them on stage to give the speech and they saw way wife saying,

don't. you never know what he's going to say. she is loved by the people. he is a man from kilburn, he kept from kilburn, who has won olympic and world medals, so he has said that kids from kilburn can now do it. e has been a people's champion and that is why we all love him. and and and tenor. myjust a world —class him. and and and tenor. myjust a world—class cyclist but somebody who has made us all think and laugh and you never knew what that guy was going to say next. nhs hospitals have made more money than ever from parking charges and fines. figures from 89 health trusts across england suggest 120 million pounds was raised from parking fees last year, that's up 5% on the year before. there's been sharp criticism of the charges from patient groups —— as daniel boettcher reports: at this north london hospital

today, despite the fog, the parking signs were clear. a charge of £3 an hour for patients and visitors, and that helped the trust to which it belongs bring in more than £2.3 million last year. the hospital does offer concessionary rates. for example, for blue badge holders and chemo or radiotherapy patients. and it says all the money is invested in the trust and used for the benefit of patients. still, some felt it was unreasonable. i have a long—term condition and i go into hospital quite frequently. my husband has to pay and my family have to pay to come to see me in hospital. we are visiting sick people, or you are taking sick people to the hospital. and they are just taking the mickey out of you. if you come in as a patient, you should not be charged parking. it's ridiculous. there has been pressure on hospitals in england to reduce parking charges, but figures obtained by the press association under freedom of information requests show that, overall, the levels have never been higher. more than half of the trusts that responded made at least £1 million a year from car parking fees. in many cases, the figures were much higher, and they have been rising. 89 out of 120 trusts

provided responses. of those, the heart of england nhs foundation trust had the highest parking income at more than £4.8 million. overall, nhs trusts in england made in excess of £120 million. that's an increase of 5% on the previous year. and, say those pressing for reform, and unacceptable burden for vulnerable patients. we understand that hospitals are under enormous financial pressures. most trusts are in deficit, but the answer isn't to raise revenue by charging patients, and particularly not patients who are travelling regularly, for life—saving cancer treatment. that feels like it is a tax on illness, rather than a way of maintaining a car park. campaigners say england should follow the lead of scotland and wales, where charges have been abolished in all but a handful of cases.

many trusts argue that some or all of the money raised goes back into patient care, while the department of health says it expects all nhs organisations to follow its guidelines and put concessions in place for those who most the need help. daniel boettcher, bbc news. harrison ford has led tributes to carrie fisher, who has died at the age of 60, calling her "one of a kind". the actress, best known for her role as princess leia in star wars, had been in hospital since suffering a cardiac arrest on a flight from london to los angeles last friday. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at her life. clever and confident... what the hell are you doing?! somebody has to save our skins. ..occasionally caustic... will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way? carrie fisher's leia wasn't your typical princess waiting to be rescued. for luck. what appealed to me was that george lucas, who wrote it and directed it, didn't want a damsel in distress, didn't want your stereotypical princess, you know. the galactic princess grew up hollywood royalty, the daughter of ‘50s movie legend

debbie reynolds. throughout her acting career she battled drug addiction and mental illness. writing about it was a form of therapy for her. people used to ask me, you know, right after i got sober, initially they'd say, so, are you happy now? i would say, among other things, happy is one of the many things, the many emotions i will go through in a day. i love you. i know. an instantly recognisable face after star wars, from time to time there were appearances in other films, like when harry met sally. her mother has led tributes, saying... her star wars co—star mark hamill tweeted. .. harrison ford said in a statement... on initially meeting carrie,
