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. with me now isjohn hemmings, a research fellow at the centre for strategic and international studies. what do you think particularly in the light of what mike pence has said? the ones to make sure that there is no daylight between the us

and seoul. the election is going to bring ina and seoul. the election is going to bring in a left of centre president, and going to want to engage with north korea, may want to remove the missile system, and wish to perhaps ta ke missile system, and wish to perhaps take more charge of the crisis, away from washington and beijing. i think mike pence is there to manage the relationship. the americans do not wa nt relationship. the americans do not want any divide between north korea and seoul? they want to persuade china that this is a chinese problem, and they stopped a number of allies from developing weapons, south korea was one, taiwan was another. i have the cheney is not stop north korea from getting this far? that is going to be the question on many lips. you mentioned

the missing defence system, and the cheney is openly not happy about that? i think the obama administration was not able to do with that. strategic patience was the motto when hands were slapped away. bat was president obama's policy of applying pressure on the chinese. but now that these are able to reach wasn't on, the donald trump administration has been feeling pressure building, to do something. the failed missile system could become a chip. you highlight the fa ct become a chip. you highlight the fact that in south korea, the proximity of everybody to the events at the north mean that they can see the reality, what any activity with looks like. but in washington, thousands of miles away. looks like. but in washington, thousands of miles awaylj looks like. but in washington, thousands of miles away. i am

feeling for the new president, if he does become elected. he has got the neighbour to the north, with weapons, the chinese and american is putting pressure on him. he's going to have to manage this crisis to clea n. to have to manage this crisis to clean. and the likelihood of another nuclear test from north korea in the future? i cannot argue, because the sta kes future? i cannot argue, because the stakes have risen, but if the cheney is to begin as with the russians, realise donald trump means business, and could use trade war... if it gets that serious we could see what happened today, basically dating eating on the pad —— detonating. we could see the cheney is stepping up pressure on resources. thank you. prince harry has revealed that he has had counselling to help him come to terms with the death of his

mother, princess diana. the prince told the daily telegraph that he spent twenty years not thinking about the death of his mother 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 more. 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. with me is paul farmer, chief executive of mental health charity mind. good afternoon. how much difference do you think this makes?”

good afternoon. how much difference do you think this makes? i think this is important, for the way that society thinks about mentally. for one of the members of the royal family to think that he has sought help, this is also good to encourage other people. and how typical was the experience that the district, losing someone as close as his mother, and then trying not to think about it for such a long period of time. we have already heard from a lot of people, about how his comments have resonated. grief as a result is an incredibly common emotion but we do not necessarily have the equipment to know what the correct thing to do is, some people can talk openly about how they have been feeling, and others are going to bottle laptop, use the stiff upper lip, they do not know the

language, or the correct person to talk to. this is a common issue, from someone in an extraordinary environment. and many eurozone, something can trigger the need to react? that is correct. one of the things that we know all about grief, loss, if you do not talk about that, you almost get boxed away but it will never be completely boxed with this you can pull it out again. it has an impact. and the stigma builds inside you. that is fine the campaign, heads together, has been so important, slowly eroding the stigma. that means that harry can say these things, good on you, it is normal. and when somebody as high—profile sis what he has said, what impact can that have on

somebody who has been on the brink of talking about it but has not yet? we have seen with the heads together campaign, it is huge as we are building up to the london marathon. but whenever somebody in the public eye speaks openly about mental health problems it encourages other people, ordinary people to talk openly to friends and family, but secondly it may encourage that person to seek help, from mind, a gp, whatever an individual could need. it is also helping people to talk, but seek help for mental health issues. that is a fundamental first step. thank you. 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. our 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. opposition 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. in the last hour, international observers have highlighted serious concerns about turkey's referendum, saying that the ‘yes' campaign had an unfair advantage, including the mis—use of administrative resources. tana de zulueta is the head of the odihr limited election observation mission. we also noted a significant imbalance in the campaign, due to the active involvement of the president, leading national officials and many public officials from the yes campaign. the team observed the misuse of administrative resources and the obstruction of efforts, from

organisations supporting the no campaign. the campaign rhetoric was tarnished by song officials, equating no as terrorist sympathisers. in numerous occasions, violent scuffles. these events contravene osce commitments, european standards and other standards for dating freedom across the campaign. four people have been killed after a light aircraft crashed in portugal, according to local reports. eyewitnesses say the plane crashed into a supermarket warehouse in a residential area on the outskirts of the capital lisbon. it's thought the swiss—registered plane came down shortly after taking off. the pilot and three passengers are all believed to have died. 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 hackney, which had to be evacuated.

our reporter sarah corker is outside the club. what more is known about what happened? it wasjust after 1am this morning when police have said acid was sprayed. emergency services sent down the hazard response unit, the fire brigade as well, and i2 down the hazard response unit, the fire brigade as well, and 12 people injured and later treated at hospital. two men, in their 20s, serious but stable, and others have been treated for minor injuries. the metropolitan police believe it was some sort of dispute between two groups of people, one man then throwing acid directly at another. 600 people in the club at the time, it was evacuated and roads were closed. witnesses have described

some scary scenes, saying that the sole people putting water over another person. police have said they have not identified what the substance was, but they have done a ph paper test, and it was strongly acidic. we have seen police activity over the course of the morning, and one officer in a fully protective suit, taking photographs for evidence. police have said no arrests, but nothing to suggest this was down only to. we have asked for any information, contact hackney cid on 101. the headlines on bbc news: us vice president mike pence has warned north korea not to test the strength of the united states. prince harry has revealed

he sought counselling, after spending nearly 20 years "not thinking" about the death of his mother. turkey's president erdogan has said he'll press ahead with new sweeping powers, after narrowly winning the constitutional referendum. 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. lets speak to faith spear, an independent criminologist and prison reform campaigner, she's also the former chair of the prison watchdog the independent monitoring board, at hollesley bay prison in suffolk. good afternoon. what do you make of this initiative? i do not think it is going to tackle the amount of phones and drugs going to prison.

when you look at the number of incidents that you have had, the number of drones reported, far more drugs, phones, than could possibly have come to prisons before that way. which way do they come in? what would be more important?” way. which way do they come in? what would be more important? i think you have got to tackle staff corruption, a lot of phones, drugs, things that should not be in prison, taking in through staff. but that is not something that the government wants to tackle. and how would you advise them? we need to have a lot more security. you have got a shortage of staff. that could be the reason why they do not want to tackle this. but really, get this task force, to try to deal with drones, it is covering up to deal with drones, it is covering up the main problem going on in prisons. we have got terrible

overcrowding, so little staff, why are they not tackling these issues? the prison minister has said we are absolutely determined to tackle the illegal flow of drugs and phones into prisons, make them places of safety a nd into prisons, make them places of safety and reform, not the threat of drones is clear. part of a wider problem? it is part of the wider problem, but we are talking about 30, 50 incidents. when you have got 10,000 mobile phones within the present, with the estate, drones are just a small part of that. it is something that could grow if it is not tackled? he talked about having eagles to stop drones... dogs barking. no this taskforce. just a

facade. we have got problems in the prisons. you are looking at some sort of wider strategy. you not at least ta ke sort of wider strategy. you not at least take some comfort, from some of the public statements emerging from the relevant government department, about recruitment, prison officer numbers. so few. you have lost so many qualified, experienced members of staff since 2010, 2,500 keeps being said. that is not going to be an off, that is not going to do with it. and they do not going to do with it. and they do not have the experienced officers any more. not in the numbers that are necessary. thank you. 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 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. james waterhouse has this report. speaking on his phone in his car, this is the moment 37—year—old steve stevens makes an extraordinary confession. ijust snapped. i just snapped, dog. ijust killed 13 people, man. that's what i did. i killed 13 people. just moments earlier, he'd approached an elderly man, picked completely at random, and shot him dead. he later posted footage of the violent killing on facebook. his victim, 74—year—old robert goodwin. reports say he'd just finished an easter meal with his family and he 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. ijust hate...

i hate he's gone. stevens appears in the video to confess to multiple killings. cleveland police, though, say so far they're only aware of one death. currently, no other victims that we know of. we've checked several locations... that we got information about. so far no other victims we know that are tied to steve's. this isn't the first time a fatal shooting has been posted or streamed on facebook. lastjune a man was shot dead while live streaming a video of himself in chicago. a spokesman for facebook, which has removed the post, said it was a horrific crime and the policy was to contact the police when there were direct threats to physical safety. police are warning that steve stevens is armed and dangerous and the fbi have nowjoined the hunt for him. 26 minutes past two.

brighton and hove football club could make history today and secure their place in the premier league. the team is playing wigan, which is facing relegation. if brighton win, and huddersfield fail to match the result in a separate game against derby county, then the club would be elevated to the top football league for the first time in its history. our correspondent simonjones is at the amex stadium in brighton. fans are excited. and also confident. a lot of them have been gathering this afternoon, kick off 30 minutes away. a lot of people already taking the seat. i can talk you through some of the permutations, brighton need to get a better result, against wigan than huddersfield achieve away to derby. but even if that does not happen,

and brighton get the three points, they are going to be as good as promoted, because the goal difference is currently +36, compared to huddersfield, +5. fans would have to win by a huge margin. people have come from far and wide, including this man who has fallen from the united states.” including this man who has fallen from the united states. i am here to witness what i witnessed 30 years ago, brighton get promoted, virtually! i think that we were so close last year, missing out on the playoffs, yeah... it is fantastic for the area. i think that we're going to win. that is all that we need. the goal difference is fantastic. why has it been so good? the manager, consistent squat, getting the correct players. team unity. supporters are excited and

you cannot blame them because it would be a return to the top of it for the first time in 3a years, and this would almost be the rags to riches story. recently, brighton almost totally relegated from the football league, lost their ground, had to play in kent, and then having to rent an athletic stadium, but they have got this new stadium, the tea m they have got this new stadium, the team with confidence, and over the past few seasons they have got to the play—offs and failed. now, seating automatic promotion, and we're going to see if they are on the way to doing that. thank you. simon at brighton, some celebrations on the south coast later. and he can check on the weather prospects. we have seen some dry weather,

across the country, some sunshine across the country, some sunshine across england and wales, but the clouds going. two faces of easter monday look like this. that was the shetlands, hail and snow. monday look like this. that was the shetlands, hailand snow. but slipping from the south, the important thing about that, introducing cool air, 6—9 the afternoon high. the temperature is going to be falling over other night. showers down north sea coasts. clear skies. temperatures falling away, and that rural spots, below freezing. tuesday is going to below freezing. tuesday is going to be beautiful. clouding over, far north west. four, two, eight. 1a, for the south east corner. the dry weather stays with us throughout the
