a warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business, and sport. and you can be part of the conversation. today we'd like to hear your suggestions on the future roles of harry and meghan. if you were at the meeting in sandringham what would you suggest? tell us what you think. just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing. lets get started then. queen elizabeth is due to meet senior members of the british royal family on monday about the future role of prince harry. the prince and his wife meghan want to step back from royal duties, but it's unclear how that will work. finance and security are among the issues to be resolved. meghan is expected to join

in the conversation on the phone from canada. our royal correspondent sarah campbell has the latest. the queen is a familiar face here on sundays and, this morning, she attended church as normal. but these feel like very unfamiliar times, with senior members of the royal family all making their way here for a summit unprecedented in its nature. her majesty will have her first face—to—face meeting with prince harry, her grandson, since he and his wife announced they intended to step back as senior royals. attending the meeting, prince charles, on his return from oman, where he travelled to pay his respects following the death of the sultan. prince william will also be at the meeting. meghan, the duchess of sussex, is expected to join the talks via phone from canada, where she returned last week. and there are plenty of questions requiring answers. how will harry and meghan fund their new lives and what does financially independent mean for them? will the couple keep their royal titles?

at the moment there is no suggestion they wish to renounce those titles. and the cost of harry and meghan‘s security if they live between the uk and north america is also unclear. i think the british taxpayer should pay for the security of harry and meghan and theirfamily. as they do with former ministers. he has done great service, just on the basis of that. and i also understand that a young couple really ought to be allowed to make their own decisions about what their future should be and, if they decide they want to go to canada, of course, they must always be protected. opinion polls and this straw poll from sandringham this morning suggests finding a solution will not be straightforward. i certainly don't think we should pay for security if he wants to try and remove himself from all of this. but ijust don't see how he can. he's a royal. i think they bring a lot of business to this country, especially with the americans. after the shock of wednesday's announcement, this is a family trying to pull together. on the front page of one national newspaper today, a quote reportedly from prince william, "i've put my arm around my

brother all our lives. "i can't do it any more". there is no precedent for what is being proposed, a part royal, part private role. the priority now, for the sake of the royal family, is that a way forward must be found. there have been more protests in tehran after the iranian —— we will have more later in the programme. there have been more protests in tehran after the iranian government confirmed it was responsible for the shooting down of a passengerjet. demonstrators voiced anger at the blunder — a product of raised tensions following the assassination of general soleimani by the americans. many of the dead were from canada. that country's prime minister, justin trudeau, has promised that justice will be served. rich preston has this report. chanting. in the capital tehran,

protesters filled the streets, chanting slogans against the country's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei. posters of qasem soleimani, the military commander killed by the us and whose funeral saw hundreds of thousands turn out at memorial events, were torn down. and, in an apparent show of defiance against the government, students refused to walk over american and israeli flags. demonstrators say they're angry with their leaders for the shooting down of the ukrainian plane last week, killing all 176 people on board. in a rare move, even iran's press was critical of the country's leaders. "unforgivable". "national mourning". and the demand, "apologise, resign". president trump tweeted his support of the protesters and strong words to iran's leaders.

and then posted the same message in farsi. in canada, vigils across the country for those who lost their lives on flight ps 752. i'd like to take this opportunity to honour the memory of all the victims of this tragic event. our deepest condolences go out to the families and friends of all these people who have lost their lives. and a strong message from prime ministerjustin trudeau. i want to assure all families and all canadians, we will not rest until there are answers. we will not rest until there is justice and accountability. iran has signalled it wants to de—escalate tension with the west but it's unclear exactly how it will do that. rich preston, bbc news. let's brief you on some of the other

his comments, this company is a monolith in manufacturing in the us. it is. and it is having a huge impact potentially on the us economy. this is where politics and business collide, as we all know, because it is going to be an election year in the us and if there is one thing that president donald trump has been focused on in his pre—election, in his term in office, and obviously for re—election, it is the us economy. he has been saying to the us people will keep the economy moving, he will bring growth and jobs. and now, having to see these figures revised. there are some trump —isms in the way this was described. they were committed to a 396 described. they were committed to a 3% figure... 3% described. they were committed to a 396 figure... 396 growth for the us economy. it could be to .596. he says in his quote, let mejust say, there is no question that the boeing situation is going to slow down the gdp numbers, but then he does refer to the number would have been three

but it might be to .5... if to the number would have been three but it might be to .5. .. if not for the crisis in boeing. bringing this huge business into the crosshairs of essid boeing's fault if the us gdp figures don't load where the president wants them to land. enter a remind our viewers why boeing is struggling right now, it is centred around this fleet of planes, the 737 max, rounded globally for the foreseeable future. it has been grounded since most since two tragic accidents, two crushes of these planes. as to what has been happening in whether has been change at the top of boeing, because what is been coming out through the development of this aircraft, questions, challenges, internal issues that went through the production. we don't know what that is all about and the investigation continues. but the macro effect on the size of boeing and the impact on the size of boeing and the impact on the us economy, we can see this when the us economy, we can see this when the treasury secretary is suggesting there will be a reduction to gdp growth. dave calhoun, 62, has a lot
