prince harry reveals he's had counselling to help him come to terms with the death of his mother. the prince says it was not until his late 20s that he processed his grief over losing his mother, princess diana. 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. a country divided, as turkey's president erdogan promises to press ahead with new powers after narrowly winning the referendum. us vice president mike pence warns that his country's "era of strategic patience" with north korea is over. and a new super—sewer under the river thames, to deal with london's growing population. good afternoon.

prince harry has revealed that he has received counselling to help him come to terms with the death of his mother, princess diana. the prince told the daily telegraph that he'd spent 20 years not thinking about his mother's death when he was 12 but eventually sought help after two years of "chaos". mental health charities have welcomed the prince's decision to speak so candidly. our royal correspondent, peter hunt, has the story. this is a senior royal as we've never seen or heard them before. prince harry is the most high—profile person yet to talk personally about his mental anguish. in doing so, he's hoping to break the taboo that still surrounds mental health. as a child, harry, with his brother william, had a close, fun relationship with diana, princess of wales. she was, according to the prince, quite simply

the best mum in the world. in 1997, with quite literally the world watching, harry walked behind his mother's coffin after she'd been killed in a car crash in paris. as an adult, 20 years on, he is now talking about the impact of his bereavement. 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 to ever 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. growing up, not confronting his mother's death, prince harry suffered anxiety and came close to a breakdown. eventually, after being encouraged by william, he saw a counsellor. all of a sudden, all of this grief i'd never processed started to come to the forefront. i was like, there's actually a lot of stuff 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, some of the easiest people to speak to are shrinks — i know the americans call them shrinks — someone you've never met before. you sit down and say, listen, i don't actually need your advice. can you just listen? just listen to me. and you just let it all rip. you've done that, have you? i've done that a couple of times, more than a couple. it's great. to have someone of his profile talking so openly about stuff in his head is so important. i can't even begin to tell you how important. if, when i was 12 and 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. kate, william and harry are behind a heads together campaign that is being supported the london marathon. the racing royals with influence hope it will be a mental health marathon. peter hunt, bbc news. president erdogan of turkey has

pledged to press ahead with sweeping changes to the country's political system, after narrowly securing support for plans to increase presidential powers in a referendum. the main opposition party in turkey says it will challenge the result. 0ur correspondent mark lowen reports from ankara. victory, but not as sweet as they'd hoped. government supporters partied into the night, confident they'd won this referendum. it was though with a narrow margin. the opposition cried foul but, for those celebrating, a chance to assert their win and warn it's irreversible. translation: we are the winners, the people have won, and that's the best. god willing, we'll have better days to come. president erdogan believes he has a mandate for the biggest political change in modern turkish history. he told supporters everybody must accept the result, which would concentrate huge power in his hands. he even proposed another referendum on restoring the death penalty.

that would end turkey's last remaining hopes ofjoining the eu. 0pposition parties won't fall silent, claiming massive irregularities. they say 1.5 million invalid ballots without an official stamp were counted, and have vowed to contest the result. translation: a wrong decision, an illegal decision made this referendum controversial. we don't find this appropriate and we will pursue this until the end. what was president erdogan‘s pet project has made this country more polarised than ever. pro—government headlines today hailing a revolution of the people. the other side talking of an overshadowed ballot. this vital western ally in a volatile region, still desperately seeking stability. translation: i don't think this is enough, because the result of the referendum is 50—50. it's obvious that a large

part of society does not accept this referendum. translation: i don't know what the new system will bring but i am happy, because a person i support has become an executive president. turkey has lost its way. a contested referendum, deep splits, terror attacks, freedom of speech corroded. just a few years ago, this country was held up as a model of a muslim democracy. how far and fast it has fallen. mark lowen, bbc news, ankara. us vice president mike pence, who's on a visit to south korea, has warned that his country's "era of strategic patience" with north korea is over. it comes as south korea and the united states agreed to speed up a defence system designed to intercept north korean missiles, something china views as a threat to its own military. 0ur seoul correspondent, stephen evans, reports. the american vice president went to

the front line, the demilitarised zone between north and south korea, what he called the frontier of freedom. for him, the visit was personal because his father fought in the korean war. from the other side today, north korean guards looked back and took pictures. vice president pence's mission today, to affirm support for the alliance between the us and south korea. 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. on saturday, north korea displayed row upon row of missiles. on sunday, a day later, they fired a dud, anotherfailure, and some experts wonder how many of the missiles on display would actually work.

in the far north of the country, the ground is ready for another nuclear test. debris can be spotted from the air after tunnelling. the us has started installing an anti—missile system in south korea. mr pence said all options were now on the table, implying that attacking north korea remains possible, despite warnings that that could spark war. what remains unclear is how the trump administration is going to persuade or force kim jong—un to renounce his nuclear ambitions. everything is on the table, we are told, but they are starting to talk now about the military option not being quite to the fore. north korea fires off missiles frequently. sometimes they succeed and sometimes they fail. would the us attack north korea

if it thought a long—range missile launch was about to happen? nobody knows. mr trump says his policy is tougher than those of his predecessors, but that assertion is yet to be proven. stephen evans, bbc news, south korea. at least 12 people have suffered burns after a suspected acid attack at a nightclub in london. around 600 people were at the venue in dalston, which had to be evacuated. 0ur reporter sarah corker is outside the club. what have the police said about what happened? it wasjust after 1am this morning when police say anti—semitic substance was sprayed inside this might club —— and acidic substance. i have this —— a hazardous response tea m i have this —— a hazardous response team and ambulances went to the

scene but 12 people were injured and treated in hospital. two men, both in their20s, are treated in hospital. two men, both in their 20s, are in a serious but sta ble in their 20s, are in a serious but stable condition and others have been treated for minor burns injuries. we have heard from the police and they say they believe there was some kind of argument between two groups of people, and that resulted in one man throwing this substance directly at two others. this nightclub was then evacuated, roads in the area were com pletely evacuated, roads in the area were completely closed off for some time. police say no arrests so far have taken place, police say no arrests so far have ta ken place, but police say no arrests so far have taken place, but there is nothing to suggest this was gang—related. 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 stevens, claimed in a later facebook video to have killed 12 other people, but the city's police said they did not know of any other victims. facebook has removed the video. united airlines is changing its policy of allowing staff to take up last—minute seats on flights.

it's after a passenger lost two front teeth and suffered a broken nose when he was was violently dragged from his seat after refusing to leave the plane to make way for an airline employee. united says staff will now be allocated seats at least an hour before take—off. the police and prison service has set up a new squad to tackle the problem of drones being used to fly drugs and mobile phones into jails. the team, which will be spread across england and wales, will share intelligence on the kinds of drones being used and how to catch those operating them. this year alone, 1.2 million tonnes of raw sewage has been dumped into the river thames because london's victorian sewers can't cope. but work has now started on a new super—sewer that's big enough to deal with the growing population of the city, as our correspondent richard westcott found out. around once a week, the river thames becomes a toilet. thousands of tonnes of raw sewage are flushed into the water because the old victorian

sewers can't cope. here we go. we all use them, don't we? now, i don't quite know what i'm going to find down here. i've got a fair idea. designed in the 18605 by engineerjoseph bazalgette, these sewers saved countless lives by helping to stop the spread of cholera. this whole area is like the overflow on your sink but on a massive scale. when it rains, all the rainwater and the sewage comes down here and out into the river thames. joseph bazalgette built the sewers to cope with 4 million people. 8 million people live in london today. it means just a couple of millimetres of rain is enough to swamp the sewers. i'm trying not to look down, for obvious reasons, but talk me through it. when it rains a lot in london, does this tunnel just fill up? this tunnel will be absolutely full.

there is no treatment. it's gone straight from a shower or a toilet and goes straight through here, straight into the river, but the quantity is up to 50 tonnes per second so it is really high volumes. huge amounts. i'm getting in my head a scene from a film with the water and everything else coming piling down towards us and out of the river. absolutely. this is not somewhere you want to be in any kind of storm event. so now they have begun building a new super sewer. there's not much to see yet but that circle will eventually become one of many shafts. huge tunnelling machines will be lowered down to bore out a 16—mile sewer under the thames. instead of sewage going into the river, it will go along the new tunnel. the scheme costs £4.2 billion. thames water customers will see bills go up for years to help foot the cost. critics say it is too big and too expensive, denied by the boss. there are now 8 million people in london and we are talking

about 11, 12, goodness knows what, in the next decade, so i think i would put it the other way — that if we did half the job now and then found in 20, 30 years that that wasn't enough, that wouldn't look like a clever decision. the super sewer will not be finished for seven years and by that time, a quarter of a billion tonnes of raw sewage will have been dumped into the thames. we've got to go out now because the tide is coming in and at high tide, this tunnel gets full. richard wescott, bbc news, in london's sewers. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. now it's time for the news where you are. sport now.

and in barry hearn has said and saw that have been there. this is what he has had to say. strong words there. and that comes after these comments from 0'sullivan yesterday. i have done 25 years of service to this game. i think i have given enough to the game and i have helped them and done my bit. 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 bully or threaten me. it ain't going to happen. stuart bingham is through. he was leading ebdon 5—4. won all but one frame this morning to win10—5. 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 seven frames this morning and has made a break of 136, the highest of the tournament so far. 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 there, we might not.

but the only thing to get there is too believe we can do it, you know? 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. 0ne game under way. sheffield united hosting bradford. united 3—0 up. clarke scored the first. and five minutes later, two, sharp with another. after withstanding pressure, blades made it three. clarke again. promotion to the championship already secured, fourth placed bradford could still finish second, the automatic promotion spot. andy murray has said he is confident he will be fit for his

match at the monte carlo masters, which started today. he a bye has in the first round, and will not be playing until wednesday. it is the first thing that dan evans and kyle edmund have met. edmund leads 6—5 in the first set. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. more on the website. thank you. we're just getting some reports from portugal, a small plane has crashed near a supermarket. reports have said it isjust near a supermarket. reports have said it is just north of lisbon. reports a plane crashed onto a lorry, unloading in a car park, near

toa lorry, unloading in a car park, near to a supermarket. if you know portugal, it is 20 miles west of lisbon. coastal town. it portugal, it is 20 miles west of lisbon. coastaltown. it is portugal, it is 20 miles west of lisbon. coastal town. it is not known at this stage, about any casualties on the ground, but reports have said that members of the crew, and passengers have been killed. eight is being reported that the plane exploded before crashing onto the ground. it was a swiss registered plane, piloted by a frenchman. it is said to have landed ona frenchman. it is said to have landed on a lorry, unloading in the car park of a supermarket, lidl. those reports just park of a supermarket, lidl. those reportsjust coming park of a supermarket, lidl. those reports just coming through. more on that, when we did it. let's get more now

on the revelations from prince harry that he has received counselling to help him come to terms with the death of his mother, princess diana. earlier i spoke to telegraph columnist bryony gordon, who interviewed the prince, and asked her why she thought he was now speaking out. i think we've had all those amazing, powerful videos from rio ferdinand, stephen fry, alistair campbell, and i think he probably felt, right, we've got to step up now and talk a bit. i don't think anyone's surprised by what he had said. they have been through a hell of a lot, the two of them. i wasn't shocked that he has had therapy or counselling. i think it probablyjust feels like the right time. it's 20 years since their mother died. i don't know, ifelt a bit, it was intimate, just me and him in a room with a cup of tea at kensington palace. there were no cameras and i think he felt he could open up. i didn't have to ask any questions. one of the things he says is, you don't need advice, i just want you to listen. he did that a bit with you, did he?

i have never thought of myself as prince harry's therapist... as a journalist, obviously, i was like, this is a scoop. but i write a lot about mental health, and to hear someone of his profile talking so candidly about the stuff in their head, it was a watershed moment. it is really important. he has taken this massive negative and he is turning it into a positive. how do you make that young child who has lots going on in their head actually talk? what he says is that he didn't, he didn't think about it. presumably it was not for a lack of support. people understood the

trauma. i think, what you do is, you have people like harry talking openly about these things. the more we all stand up and talk about these things, the more it will get better and mental health will be seen on the same level as physical health. and hopefully, one day, we won't have to differentiate. you could call up work and say, i am ill, and they will say ok, and you won't be embarrassed about mental health issues. he talked about two years of chaos — did he talk about what those were like? i would love to be able to say that we had an off the record chinwag, but that was everything that you heard. i'm amazed that they did not kill off the rails more.

i suppose you can imagine. vegas.|j have always thought, i was amazed that they did not go off the rails more. to have to walk in front of your mother's coffin in front of the world. these circumstances, anybody would struggle with that. i think they are pretty awesome boys, really. we look at the man he is now. you have obviously been up close and personal with him, having the conversations. what is he like as a man? i didn't know what he was like before, only having met him a couple of times, but he is incredibly charming and articulate, and also normal. ifelt like i was having a chat with a mate. he swears, you know, he is sort of... he ribs me. he is a normal bloke who happens to be in the most extraordinary position and circumstances,

and i think he is a real credit to the royal family, that he does appear so normal. they are all incredibly normal. the heads together thing has been brilliant, because they don't want you to curtsy to them. they are revamping the monarchy as we know them. i have seen so many people this morning going, i was a republican until i heard this interview, and now i love them! everyone feels incredibly warm towards him this morning. should older drivers be made to retake their test? nearly 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?

holly hamilton reports. 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 on 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. 0lder 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 now for a look at the weather. good afternoon. it is not a bad holiday monday, a lot of dry weather, sunshine, as you can see. we have had some nuisance cloud, going south west, and showers far

north east. going to continue to push for the south. behind that, colder air. 6—14. push for the south. behind that, colder air. 6411. through the night, those micro one slipping, skies fall, temperatures falling sharply. and lows, —6, —8. hard frost here. the story on choose to, if you are not going back to work, school, some cloud in the far west. this is going to continue for most of the week, little rain, decent sunshine but u nfortu nately little rain, decent sunshine but unfortunately that is going to lead to some cool, frosty nights. hello. this is bbc news. the top stories: prince harry reveals he's had counselling, after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" about his mother's death. there's actually a lot of stuff here i need to deal with.

it was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two years of total chaos. us vice president mike pence tells north korea neither the united states nor south korea would tolerate further missile and nuclear tests. turkey's president erdogan vows to press ahead with new sweeping powers after narrowly winning the constitutional referendum.
