his mother ‘s memory to support those supported —— affected by hiv/aids, the duke of sussex said they had no other option but to leave the royal family behind. they had no other option but to leave the royalfamily behind. he expressed his wish to have a more peaceful life as a family, but said the uk would always be his home. before i begin i can only say that i can only imagine what you have read over the past few weeks as i want you to hear the truth from me. as much as i can share. not as a prince oi’ much as i can share. not as a prince ora duke much as i can share. not as a prince or a duke but as harry, the same person that many of you have watched grow up person that many of you have watched grow up over person that many of you have watched grow up over the last 35 years but now with a clearer perspective. the uk is my home and a place that i love. that will never change. i have grown up love. that will never change. i have grown up feeling supported from so many of you and i watched as you welcomed meghan with open arms as you saw me find the love and

happiness that i had hoped for all my life. finally, the second assigned of diana got hitched —— the second son of diana got hitched, hurray. i also know that you have come to know me well enough overall these years to trust that the woman i chose as my wife upholds the same values as i do and she does and she is the same woman i fell in love with. we both do everything we can to fly the flag and carry out our roles for this country with pride. once meghan and i were married, we we re once meghan and i were married, we were excited, we were hopeful and we we re were excited, we were hopeful and we were here to serve. for those reasons, it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. the decision that i have made for my wife and i to step back is not one i make likely. it was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges and i know i haven't

a lwa ys challenges and i know i haven't always got it right but as far as this goes, there really was no other option. —— not one i make lightly for top what i want to make clear is we're not walking away. and i'm certainly not walking away from you. our hope is to serve the queen, the commonwealth and military associations but without public funding. unfortunately, that wasn't possible. i have accepted this knowing that it doesn't change who i am or how committed i am but i hope that helps you understand what it had come to, that i would step my family back from all i have ever known to take a step forward into what i hope could be a more peaceful life. i was born into this life and it was a great honour to serve my country and the queen. when i lost my mum 23 years ago, you took me under the your wing. you looked out for me for so long but the media is a powerful force and for me for so long but the media is a powerfulforce and my for me for so long but the media is

a powerful force and my hope for me for so long but the media is a powerfulforce and my hope is one day our collective support for each other can be more powerful because this is so much bigger thanjust us. it has been a privilege to serve you and we will continue to lead a life of service so in that respect, nothing changes. it has also been a privilege to meet so many of you and to fill your excitement for our son archie who saw snow for the first time the other day and thought it was bloody williams. i am grateful for my grandmother, the commander—in—chief and grateful to herfor the compassion commander—in—chief and grateful to her for the compassion she has shown me and meghan for the last few months. i continue to support the military communities and communities that are so important to me. together you have give many and —— given me an education about what is right and just. we are taking a leap

of faith to —— so thank you for giving me the courage to take this next step. was prince harry speaking at an event. the duke of sussex was reacting to the agreement that was reached with the queen. the words the queen used yesterday about harry and meghan were warm and supportive. but the deal done with them by her officials was an uncompromising one. the reputation of the royal family must be protected. it has already been battered by prince andrew's misjudgments and the family doesn't want any embarrassments from the sussexes once they are cut loose in canada. i think families are always a problem. and i think she's dealt with it incredibly well. ijust think it's a shame. and it's a shame with the little one as well.

yeah, for the whole family, william, charles, everybody. as long as we are not paying for the lifestyle they are hoping to live, then i don't have a problem with that. there was support, too, from the prime minister. i think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future. i said before that i was sure that the royal family, that has been around a very long time, will find a way forward and i'm sure it will. but there was a very much less supportive judgment from meghan‘s estranged father, thomas. he was speaking before yesterday's agreement. this is like one of the greatest, long living institutions ever. um... they are destroying it. they are cheapening it. they are making it shabby. they are turning it into a walmart with a crown on it. it is slightly more than two years ago that harry and meghan did their first official engagement together in nottingham. come this spring, there

will be no more of this. they won't be allowed to use their royal rank or to represent the queen. there will be questions about his immigration status in canada and her declared aim of securing british citizenship. they can earn money but they will be expected to avoid anything unseemly. the palace is wary of the american advisors meghan has around her. they have already trademarked sussex royal as a charitable and social media vehicle for the couple. but is the use of the word "royal" still appropriate? that's just one of the matters still under discussion. all these new arrangements will take effect in the spring. they will be reviewed in 12 months‘ time. but for now, the die is cast. one of the most popular figures within the royal family is preparing, with his wife, to say farewell.

nicholas witchell, bbc news, at buckingham palace. bringing you some breaking news. sarah montague, the bbc radio 4, she has reached a settlement after being treated unequally by the bbc for many years. the pay—out agreed at the end of last year. ms montague has tweeted she discovered that disparity in her pain conditions she was advised that rectifying it could run into the millions and chose not to seek such sums from the bbc but she did want some recognition that they had underpaid her. she accepted a settlement of £400,000 subject to tax and an apology from the bbc for paying her unequally for so many yea rs. paying her unequally for so many years. this latestjudgement comes off the pay—out following the case brought by samira ahmed, again against the bbc. she won the employment tribunal that she brought

against the corporation in a dispute over equal pay. sarah montague currently presents the world at one on bbc radio 4 and also hardtalk interviews on bbc television. other events. a deal has been struck between world leaders in berlin to try to bring peace to libya after nine years of conflict they have pledged not to interfere in the country and to uphold a un arms embargo. libya has been torn apart by fighting and instability as colonel qaddafi was killed in 2011. —— gaddafii with men were in berlin today for the talks but didn't step

in the same room. jenny hill reports. volatile, complex. libya's at war with itself. two factions backed by foreign powers, as they wrestle full control of this oil—rich land. today, world leaders arrived in berlin to seek a solution. many of the countries represented at the table have sent troops, weapons, money to both sides, despite a un weapons embargo. today, they agreed to stop. translation: i am under no illusion that we have a difficult road ahead of us. and in libya at the moment, emotions are running high. but we agreed that in light of all the suffering that is happening and in light of the terrible situation, that it is worth it. outside the meeting, supporters of both libya's internationally recognised prime minister and his warlord rival. no truce today, but delegates

hope an end to foreign interference might be a first step. they're fuelled by fear. that they can no longer rely on libyan oil supplies, that the instability will inflame islamist terror in the region and, for europe's governments, that more and more people will seek refuge in their countries. libya, known as a gateway to europe, already hosts hundreds of thousands of migrants. until now, we had an escalation of the libyan conflict with some foreign interference. now we were facing the risk of a true regional escalation. and that risk was averted in berlin. for libya, some respite. a ceasefire has held for several days now. the so—called berlin process doesn't guarantee it, nor does it mean the removal of existing troops and foreign weapons, and it's unclear how or even whether the agreement will be monitored or enforced.

but in it, some see the beginning, perhaps, of a long and difficult road to peace. jenny hill. now, the prime minister has said that he will raise the driving habits of us military personnel with the us secretary of state mike pompeo after video footage emerged of another incident of the car being driven on the wrong side of the road near the army base where harry dunn had died. please revealed details of another incident where again a car was being driven on the wrong side of the road. allan we are certainly raising all of those issues about the driving habits of us personnel at the base. —— and we are continuing to work for justice for darrock —— harry dunn and his family. people accused of stalking are to be

groundbreaking orders that the police will be able to apply for two protect victims of stalking but also make sure that the perpetrators are getting the treatment programmes and so on they need to break the cycle of abuse. it is hoped these new powers will prevent cases like alice ruggles. she was murdered by an ex— boyfriend who had been stalking her. alice's family sadie's court orders could have made a critical difference. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the headlines: prince harry says he is taking a leap of faith in stepping back as a senior member of the royalfamily, stepping back as a senior member of the royal family, but stepping back as a senior member of the royalfamily, but that stepping back as a senior member of the royal family, but that there stepping back as a senior member of the royalfamily, but that there is no other option. at a summit on libya in berlin, world leaders have agreed to uphold a un weapons embargo as part of efforts to resolve the nine—year conflict. and the space company space acts

wa nted out like, well, exactly like we wanted to do. creating chances, unbelievable. super football, against such a defensive organisation, it is so difficult and we did so well. big relief in that moment. england are four wickets away from winning the third test in port elizabeth, asjoe reed got his best figures in test cricket to leave south africa on the brink of defeat. the hosts only managed to add one run to the overnight score. that meant they still trailed england by almost 300 runs but were put back in, and the england wickets kept coming. ollie pope took this brilliant catch at short range. that was off the bowling of captainjoe root who took 4/31. south africa would assume on the final day and england will have the rain stays away for long enough so they can ta ke away for long enough so they can take a 2—1 lead in the four test series. saracen say they will learn from their mistakes and hope to

rebuild trust and confidence after accepting the relegation from the premiership at the end of the season for breaking salary regulations. they qualified for the quarter—finals of the champions cup with a win today. number eight billion in apollo was injured and could now miss the six nations for england. the director of rugby admitted afterwards it had been a tough week for the club but the focus was now on the future. it has been extremely difficult for everybody in the group. i guess the one thing we do have now is a bit of clarity. with clarity you can start to make a plan. which is not something we have been able to do. the club have made some mistakes, some big mistakes, and have been punished for those mistakes, and rightly punished for those mistakes, and we have got to accept that and learn from that. and start the planning of how to perform. man city have gone top of the women super league after beating birmingham 2—0. they have moved above arsenal on goal difference of they were thrashed 4—1 at home to chelsea.

australian star sam kerr scored her first goalfor the australian star sam kerr scored her first goal for the club after joining at the end of december. scored chelsea's fourth in the afternoon to consign arsenal to only the second defeat of the season. chelsea are one point behind but have a game in hand. stuart bingham has become snooker‘s oldest champion at the masters, winning a tournament at the masters, winning a tournament at the masters, winning a tournament at the age of 43. the former world champion out of the second of the school's three major titles to his collection by beating ali carter ten frames to eight in a final which swing both ways. at one stage, bingham was 705 down. the kansas city chiefs will play their first super bowl in 50 years after beating the tennessee titans 35—24 to clinch the tennessee titans 35—24 to clinch the afc championship. they had to come from behind for the second week ina row come from behind for the second week in a row but quarterback patrick comes, last season's most valuable player, run a touchdown as well as throwing this 60 year —— 60 yard pass to sidney watkins to set up the

victory. they will play the winner of the san francisco 49ers and the green bay packers at the super bowl into weeks. very much looking forward to that, but that's the sport for now. a bbc investigation has seen documents that appear to show that africa's richest woman made her fortune through exploiting her own country. she is the daughter of the former and golden president, ed guaido dos santos. the document shows you gained access to lucrative deals involving diamonds, land, oil and telecoms while her failed — deals involving diamonds, land, oil and telecoms while herfailed — my father was in power. she has denied any wrongdoing. isabel dos santos is africa's richest woman. she lives in london with a glamorous life and famous friends. a leak of more than 700 documents from her business power was obtained by the platform to

splashdown in the atlantic ocean. this was billed as the last major milestone for california's space—x company before nasa agrees to certify its hardware to carry astronauts to the international space station. not since 2011 have american crews launched from american soil. this apparently successful test means that long hiatus is about to come to an end. jonathan amos, bbc news. do stay with us. shortly, i am going to be taking an in—depth look at the papers with my guests. i have got sian williams and bonnie greer at the desk with me. that's coming up after headlines at 11:30pm. and also, the all—important weather. hello. it has been a day of two halves across the uk, cloudier and brazierfor much of halves across the uk, cloudier and brazier for much of scotland and northern ireland, sunnier and colder for england and wales. it is fog we are concerned about overnight, especially across wales, the midlands and north—west england, his
