welcome to bbc news. prince harry has revealed he sought counselling after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" about the death of his mother, princess diana. in an interview with the daily telegraph, he said it was not until his late 20s that he processed the grief following two years of "total chaos". jonathan blake reports. the world watched as prince harry followed his mother's funeral cortege. he was 12 when diana, princess of wales was killed in a car crash. now, after 20 years of struggling to deal with it, prince harry has opened up about the impact diana's death has had on him. i can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12 and therefore shutting down all of my emotions

for the last 20 years has had a quite serious effect on not only my personal life but also my work as well. my way of dealing with it was refusing ever to think about my mum, because why would that help? it's only going to make you sad — it's not going to bring her back. the prince said taking up boxing helped him deal with aggression after he nearly punched someone, and he talked about looking for professional help with his health. all of a sudden, all of this grief that i'd never processed started to come to the forefront, and i thought, there is actually a lot of stuff here that i need to deal with. it was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two years of total chaos. as i'm sure you know, one of the easiest people to speak to is a shrink or whoever — the americans call them shrinks — someone you've never spoken to before. you sit down on the sofa and say, "listen, i don't actually need your advice — can you just listen? " and you just let it all rip. and you've done that?

i've done that a couple of times. more than a couple times! it was great. the prince said he hoped speaking openly about his own experience would encourage others to do the same. i thought it was incredible, because to have someone of his profile talking so openly about the stuff in his head is so important. i can't even begin to tell you how important. when i was 12, when i first got ill, if members of the royals were standing up and talking about their mental health, i think how different the subsequent decades could have been in terms ofjust people talking openly and honestly about this very, very normal illness. the heads together campaign, set up by harry and his brother and sister—in—law, will be the main charity at next weekend's london marathon, another example of the princes‘ commitment to raising awareness around mental health. i can speak to sarah brennan, chief executive of charity young minds. thank you very much forjoining us.

when prince harry said as a young boy that he felt like talking about the death of his mother would only make an sad and would not bring her back, you can understand why a child would see things like that. completely. that is why we as adults need to make it ok for children to talk on express feelings, however they need to. what is the best way to do that? there are the number of things. believe mint is a process that we go through. grief is an enormous emotion and when someone close to us dies, initially, we can be in shock, be stunned. after that phase, there is a whole range of feelings. feeling guilty, fuelling angry, feeling sad. missing them terribly. and also, the sadness can at times make you feel depressed. these are all phases that, when we are able to cope with it and process those feelings, we come through and

come out the other side. but for children, our young people who have got no help in that process, they can feel these things are not to cope with them deal with them. if, around them, everyone is being silent, it is much easier to lock down and not talk about it. we can see from prince harry had negative that can be. i think it is wonderful that can be. i think it is wonderful that he has been public about this and really trying to reduce the stigma around talking about feelings. we all have emotions. what we need to do with bereavement... does it have to be professional help? you said of the problem is if eve ryo ne help? you said of the problem is if everyone around is being silent about it. but if there is open discussion within a family, is that enough? it is different for everyone. certainly, it makes a big difference is that young person knows that it is ok to talk.

sometimes i feel like crying, other times not. everyone is different. it is really good if people can be involved in decisions. there might be discussions about the person they we re be discussions about the person they were close to. maybe make a memory box about them. talk about what they liked about them, what we found difficult, what made them laugh. it is often really good for teachers to be informed about the death of a significant person in a pupil's life so that they can be sensitive and ask anja show that they care. that is one of the most important things. that is ok to have feelings. and you will have different feelings at different times. that is ok, as well. for most young people, it can be overwhelming. it can be overwhelming for any of us. knowing that other people are not scared and it is ok to talk when they feel like talking, orfinding ways

it is ok to talk when they feel like talking, or finding ways of getting rid of those feelings, like prince ali talk about boxing, sometimes it can be exercise and therapeutic. —— prince harry talked about boxing. sometimes, we need to express feelings so that they do not get stuck. because when keith gets stuck, that is when it can lead to more negative things later on. —— grief. and get much more serious mental health issues later in life. how far has become in terms of being open about this how much of a difference will prince harry speaking in this way make? well, it is interesting that, in some ways, we did talk about emotions more, get young people say how they find it still very difficult. i think prince harry being so open today is incredibly important and i think the work that is being done with heads together is really important. so

that everyone can see that it does not matter where you are in life, it does not matter what part of society you come from, this is real. mental health is something we have all got and we need to understand it and we need to understand ourselves. we need to understand ourselves. we need to understand ourselves. we need to look after ourselves and each other. i think the work that the royals are doing is absolutely fantastic in helping this become much more accepted. thank you very much. sarah brennan, from the charity young minds. the american vice president, mike pence, has spoken of an unshakeable bond between the united states and south korea. he made the comment during a visit to the country's border with north korea, as part of his tour of the region. a day after pyongyang carried out an unsuccessful missile test, mr pence said the era of what he called "strategic patience" with the north was over. since 1992, the united states and our allies have stood together for a denuclearised korean peninsula. we hope to achieve this objective

through peaceful means but all options are on the table. just in the past two weeks, the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president in action taken in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the united states in this region. we will continue to deploy the thaad missile defence system as a defensive measure, called for by the alliance and for the alliance. we will continue to evolve a comprehensive set of capabilities to ensure the security of south korea and, as our secretary of defence made clear here in south korea not long ago, we will defeat any attack and we will meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective response. over the past 18 months, north korea has conducted two unlawful nuclear tests and an unprecedented number of ballistic missile tests,

even conducting a failed missile launch as i travelled here for this visit. the era of strategic patience is over. dr trevor mccrisken is an associate professor of politics and international studies at the university of warwick. he joins us from solihull. thank you very much forjoining us. what do you think it means when he says that the strategic patience is over? what are the implications? what the trump administration is trying to demonstrate is that it is coming from a position of strength. it believes the only way that north korea will return to the bargaining table and negotiate over what the future of its nuclear programme will be is if it sees the us as being in a position where it is willing to use force to back up rhetoric. it is quite a risky strategy because,

obviously, if you threaten and continue fleming, they might use force and it could be pushed to that. nobody really wants direct conflict with north korea because that would be very damaging for the region. i believe that is where these statements and others from the ministry shanna coming from. as mike pence points out, this is a president who has made good on his word with syria and afghanistan. if there were to be some sort of military action against north korea, what would the implications be? the implications could being terribly serious. that is why calmness on all sides is the best approach. it is a potentially volatile situation in the region.

iam i am terribly sorry, we are struggling with the skype line, so we will have to leave it for me. but thank you very much indeed, dr trevor mccrisken. police in the us state of ohio are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media of him fatally shooting a stranger. officers in the city of cleveland say the suspect, steve stephens, claimed to have killed 12 other people in a later video on facebook but the city's police chief said they did not know of any other victims. sarah corker has this report. speaking on his phone in his car, this is the moment 37—year—old steve stephens makes an extraordinary confession. i just snapped, dog. ijust snapped. ijust killed 13 people, man. that's what i did, i killed 13 people. just moments earlier, he had approached an elderly man picked completely at random and shot him dead. he later posted footage of the violent killing on facebook. his victim was 74—year—old robert godwin. reports say he had just finished

an easter meal with his family and was walking home when he was killed. visibly distraught, this is his son and daughter's reaction. this man right here was a good man and ijust hate that he's gone. stephens appears in the video to confess to multiple killings. cleveland police, though, so that so far they are only aware of one death. currently, there are no other victims that we know of. we've checked several locations that were either in the post itself or we got information about and so far there are no more victims that we know that are tied to him. this isn't the first time a fatal shooting has been posted or streamed on facebook. lastjune, a man was shot dead when live streaming video of himself in chicago. a spokesman for facebook, which has removed the post, said it was a horrific crime and their policy was to contact the police when there were direct

threats to physical safety. police are warning that steve stephens is armed and dangerous and the fbi have nowjoined the hunt for him. turkey's president erdogan has vowed to press ahead with the constitutional changes approved in a referendum which vastly expand his presidential powers. his victory was closer than expected, taking 51.5% of the vote. 0pposition leaders plan to challenge the result due to irregularities, including the acceptance of unstamped ballot papers at counting centres. with me now is the the editor of the london—based turkish newspaper haber, michael daventry. thank you for coming in. does he have a mandate for these new powers? yes. he needed 50% plus one and he got that. 51% of the vote. that is the first big takeaway from this election, that you can implement reforms and by the next general election, he can put in place and executive presidency system by which

he can put himself up for election and probably win. the second thing to ta ke and probably win. the second thing to take away, and this is significant, this is the first time i have ever seen the turkish opposition refused to concede a general election referendum or national result. it is significant because non—white legal, all right, it isa because non—white legal, all right, it is a fair cop, we did not manage to convince the electorate. —— because normally, they say. there is even talk of civil disobedience. it is very significant asa disobedience. it is very significant as a moment, i think. in the end, will there be much support for civil disobedience or ongoing protests that could upset what has happened here? it depends on how the opposition believes going forward. the next couple of days will be very interesting. in about 45 minutes, the international observers who monitor the election will give their preliminary results. that'll be an

indication to see whether the impartial outsider view she the opposition view. it also depends on the opposition parties doing days and weeks to come, to see if they galvanise what appears to be, at least, a massive minority of voters who do not want this fundamental change in the way that turkey is run. how important will be the port of those international observers be? we have reported before an talked about the campaign was unfair in previous general elections. they have always said the governing party gets more airtime on television, for example. but they have always said the voting process itself is generally spot—on. the opposition this time are saying that it is that voting process, the is a complicated issue about the presiding officer of the ballot boxes, and the election authorities say that votes will be counted as valid even if a stamp is not there. simply put, the opposition say that the voting process is not fair. if

international observers agree, it is very different situation. the president says he needs to these new powers for security in the country. he says the system will be somewhat ofa he says the system will be somewhat of a presidential system in france and the united states. what are the opposition say? the opposition say it is not that, french style on american system. they say it a turkish system and the president will be granted fast ranges of powers to appoint governors, senior judges, party officials... more than that, it is a lot harder than it is good and i is. underthe that, it is a lot harder than it is good and i is. under the current system, if you come in parliament, wa nted system, if you come in parliament, wanted to investigate the prime minister or minister in any kind of wrong doing charge, it takes 18 days under present rule. under the new system, it could take up to ten months and more mps need to vote for it. the checks and balances system has been completely upended by this. what passes turkey on, particularly

with regards to aspirations of eu membership? president erdogan gave to victory speeches yesterday. his first was very measured and he said, it is time for unity, we have to come together, let's try and work together to build this new turkish system. then he went outside to address his huge go to supporters outside the presidential palace in istanbul. he said that if the opposition does not deliver the reinstating of the death penalty, he will have a referendum on that. there is a conflict here. it depends on which resident debord and we have going forward. generally, diaz responded to the public mood when things go wrong, but if you start wishing for the reinstatement of the death penalty, i cannot see how the eu membership or sets can survive that. —— he has responded. the headlines on bbc news... prince harry has revealed he sought counselling, after spending nearly 20 years "not

thinking" about the death of his mother. us vice president mike pence has warned north korea not to test the strength of the united states. turkey's president erdogan has said he'll press ahead with new sweeping powers, after narrowly winning the constitutional referendum. sport now. good afternoon. chelsea manager antonio conte has blamed himself for their loss to manchester united. the blues have had their 10—point lead a the top of the premier league reduced to just four after yesterday's 2—0 loss. conte says he must take responsibility for failing to motivate his players, in what is chelsea's second loss in four games. marcus rashford, nothing wrong with his motivation, he got the opening goal. that was after just seven minutes. and ander herrera doubled their lead after the break. manchester united deserved to win

because they showed more motivation to win in the game. i think it is very simple. what in this case, the fault is on the coach. —— but, in this case... it means i did not prepare them with the right concentration, the right ambition to win this type of game. premier league survival and champions league qualification is at stake when middlesbrough take on arsenal at the riverside tonight. the hosts are six points from safety, while arsene wenger‘s side go into the game in seventh — ten points adrift of fourth placed manchester city. we might get the, we might not. but the only thing to get the is two believe we can do it, you know? —— to get the is to believe. we have to focus not on the fear of failure,

but the desire to make it. that is the only chance we have to do it. the first round of the world snooker championship continues today, with england's peter ebdon taking on his compatriot stuart bingham. the match is live now on bbc two from the crucible. the match resumed this morning with bingham five frames to four ahead. the 2015 world champion remains in the lead. it is 8—5. the 2015 world champion remains in the lead. it is 8-5. it means he is now just two frames from victory and the next round. last year's runner—up ding junhui has started his first round match against 19 year old zhou yuelong in an all chinese affair on table one. the world number four is looking very comfortable and has won five out of six frames this morning, and has made a break of 136 — the highest of the tournament so far. ding junhui leads 5—2. ronnie 0'sullivan is already through to the second round. the five—time champion beat qualifier gary wilson 10—7.

it was a pretty routine win for 0'sullivan. after the match, he vented his frustration with the tournament bosses, having received a letter warning him about his behaviour, after he criticised a referee and swore at a photographer back in january at the masters. i have done 25 years of service to this game. i think i have given after the game and i have helped them but my bet. i don't need that. not at a1. drop me out. i don't need you. you probably don't need me. i just want to enjoy my life and i am not putting up with someone thinking they can billy threatening me. it ain't going to happen. —— they can bully me. we're expecting a reply from world snooker chairman barry hearn at some point today, but he recently told the bbc that 0'sullivan is beholden to the same rules as every other player. ronnie 0'sullivan is a great player and a great advert for our game. he gets us more media, more ratings than anyone else. for that, we love them, of course. we admire his

ability. but that is where it ends. there are no exceptions for people and there can't be. a kid thatjoins the tour is operating under the same rules and mindset is ronnie 0'sullivan and that will remain. i will keep you posted on if we do get that reply from barry hearn. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. at least 12 people have suffered burns from a suspected noxious substance at a nightclub in east london. emergency services, including a hazardous area response team, were sent to the mangle club in hackney around one o'clock this morning. hundreds of people had to be evacuated from the building, ten were taken to hospital, but the injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. the injured wife of a man killed in the westminster terror attack has returned home to the united states. melissa cochran had been visiting london from utah with her husband kurt to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary when they were caught in the attack. her brother says doctors have

cleared her to fly back home and revealed that she is healing faster than expected. her brother says doctors have cleared her to fly back home and revealed that she is healing faster than expected. a teenager has died after being bitten by shark on the southern coast of western australia. the 17—year old girl was surfing with her father off wylie bay when the attack happened. it's understood that she was bitten on the leg and lost a large amount of blood before being pulled from the water. west australian police say she was initially treated on the beach before being transported to a nearby hospital, where she died of her injuries. should older drivers be made to retake their test? more than a quarter of a million people have backed a petition asking for a change in the law. it was started by ben brooks—dutton, whose wife was killed after an elderly motorist hit his accelerator pedal instead of the brakes. it's expected that the number of drivers over 85 will double to1 million by 2025, so is there more we can do to improve safety on the roads? frank has been driving for most of his life. know where you are relative to as much traffic as you possibly can... but despite 56 years of experience behind the wheel,

he feels he benefits from an appraisal from time to time. none of us gets sharper as we age. i mean, i can see i'm not as sharp as i was ten or 15 years ago and that must apply when i'm driving a car. ijust think it's a good idea. this driver skills scheme in hampshire for the over 60s assesses around 50 people each month. the aim is to keep people driving safely for longer. it's delivered from their own home in their own car. we get one of our assessors to go along and sit with them and offer advice, really. and then we can monitor how their driving is going so they don't have to give up too early before they're ready but they don't go on too long and they become unsafe. there's no legal age to stop driving in the uk but under the current system, drivers have to renew their licence every three years from the age of 70. to do that, you will simply need one of these. a self—assessment form.

you decide whether or not you are fit to drive based on your health and eyesight. there are no mandatory checks on your eyesight, hearing or even driving and reaction times. that is well into old age. for most drivers, this is not a problem but not disclosing a medical issue can have devastating consequences. you drew that when you were a baby. you drew that with mummy. in 2012, ben's wife was killed while working with their two—year—old sonjackson. a car came speeding around the corner, skimmed my son's push chair but then struck my wife and she died at the scene. when the pressure was on, when the driver had to choose between an accelerator and a brake, he wasn't able to make that decision, he wasn't able to react. he was driving in an automatic vehicle and he thought he was braking and as he broke harder, he was actually accelerating faster. ben is campaigning for drivers to be retested every three years after the age of 70. so far, an online petition has received over 200,000 signatures.

i think there needs to be some sort of test to check that we are well enough to drive, that we can react in time to drive safely and regulate our own behaviour. at the moment, the self—assessment system doesn't do that. last year, leading road safety experts published a report setting out a national strategy for safe driving into old age. it made a number of recommendations, including increasing the age of licence renewal to 75 if proof of an eye test is made compulsory. older drivers, at the age of 70, are no more likely to be involved in a collision. but obviously, as we do get older and start to suffer from frailty, eyesight and hearing, yes, problems can arise if we don't address them at an early stage. ben's petition is set to be discussed by a cross party transport committee after getting the support from his local mp. meanwhile, ben is hoping his campaign will highlight the issue for thousands of families. no—one wants to take someone's life.

no—one wants that hanging over them for the rest of their life but a car is a powerful weapon, you need to make sure you are capable and that is notjust about sticking to your guns and saying, i'm fine. this is about checking that you definitely are. time for a look at the weather. hgppy happy easter. i hope you're enjoying it. the weather is not too bad out there. we have blue sky and sunshine to be found. it was a beautiful morning in lincolnshire today. there has been a week weather front sinking south and west, but this little fella here means business. it is producing rain, hail stones, sleet and snow across the shetland isles. you can see the poodle daffodils do not know where they are coming or going here. those showers will continue to drift southwards. —— you can see the and fortunate daffodils. we have seen lily cole

dear coming from the arctic. it is a bitterly cold afternoon despite sunshine. sharon was thinking south out of the scottish borders by the end of the afternoon. —— showers sinking south. the odd spot of showery lane across the south coast, maybe south wales. high spills of 13 and 1a, only six in the northern isles. showers push southwards as well. temperatures really follow way. worth bearing in mind for gardeners in little spots with temperatures down to as low as —6 —8 in places. hard frost first thing tomorrow morning. chilly start. some of your pure spring plants might look like this first thing tomorrow morning. it is not what we really wa nt morning. it is not what we really want but at least we will get decent spells of sunshine. if you're still offer tickets for your easter break, you will be happy with this story.

lovely day, dry, lots of sun. cloud and rain gathering to the north and west and here still on the chilly side with high spills of 1a not out of the question. it looks like the high pressure will be the driving force behind the story, just like we have seen so far this april, with week weather fronts brushing the far north—west. the position of the high will change the wind direction, so there is a bit more of a westerly through week, which means it is at had milderfurthermore. we see through week, which means it is at had milder furthermore. we see a return to double figures and cloud and the odd spit and spot of rain here but, 11—1a c is the high. the drive theme is set to continue through the week ahead. very little in the way of rain. there will be sunny spells and warmer by day but with the clear skies at this time of year, we have to be careful. there will be some frost alone. i will be backin will be some frost alone. i will be back in half an hour. ——
