6:03 pm
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

6:06 pm
never processed has come to the forefront. there was a lot of needed to deal with. there was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two yea rs 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 is a shrink, the americans call them shrinks, someone you've never met before. you ask them just to listen. and you've done that? a couple of times, more than a couple. for somebody in the public eye like prince harry who has such a big reach to do that and feel co mforta ble big reach to do that and feel comfortable doing that, this is a significant step forward in terms of tackling the stigma around mental health. it was something his mother tried when she spoke about self harming and her eating disorder. a generation on, the stiff upper lip is once again being abandoned. harry is once again being abandoned. harry
