good afternoon. prince harry has claimed his brother — prince william — physically attacked him, according to a newspaper which says it's seen a copy of harry's forthcoming memoir. the guardian says the book has details of a row between the brothers in 2019 over meghan markle, prince harry's wife. it quotes harry as saying that william grabbed him by collar, and knocked him to the floor. the royalfamily have made no comment. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. so says harry, in the latest trailer for the interview he's given to itv, setting out his grievances against his family — grievances which are to be set out in startling detail in his book, spare, to be published worldwide next tuesday. the guardian's new york correspondent has obtained a leaked copy of the book and in it,

he says, harry gives details of a physical attack on him by his elder brother. it evidently happened in 2019 at harry's home inside kensington palace. according to this account, the brothers had an angry confrontation. william called meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive". harry said william was "parroting the press narrative." then, according to the guardian account... harry, it appears, has no regrets about sharing private family moments. he is challenged by tom bradby in the itv interview. wouldn't your brother say to you, harry, how could you do

this to me, after everything, after everything we went through, wouldn't that be what he would say? he'd probably say all sorts of different things. some people will say you have railed against invasions of your privacy all your life, but the accusation will be, here are you invading the privacy of your most nearest and dearest without permission. that will be the accusation. that will be the accusation from the people that don't understand or don't want to believe that my family have been briefing the press. so amid all these attacks on his family, what does harry see as his future? if you are invited to the coronation, will you come? there is a lot that can happen between now and then, you know, the door is always open. the ball is in their court. for now neither

buckingham palace nor kensington palace are making any comment. where does this leave relations between them and the rest of the royal family? between them and the rest of the royalfamily? it between them and the rest of the royal family?— royal family? it might be a vain ho -e in royal family? it might be a vain hepe in the _ royal family? it might be a vain hope in the short _ royal family? it might be a vain hope in the short to _ royal family? it might be a vain hope in the short to medium . royal family? it might be a vain i hope in the short to medium term, that the family will sit down and discuss this. i am sure king charles would like to do that but what will william's attitude be after all this? hard to say. i think harry is in danger of dissipating whatever public support he has left. some people undoubtedly will feel he and meghan were in some way disrespected, some things could and should have been done better and differently within the family, but is this really the way to solve matters? i thought he was perhaps rather unconvincing in his answer to the question how do you justify invading the privacy of your family invading the privacy of your family in this way and all he could really say is my family has been briefing the press, which is rather an obsession of his. there is an interesting line from the guardian

journalist, one of the few people who has read this book and gone public with what he found, he said harry's resentment of being the spare is the unifying theme of his book. in other words, the suggestion that harry has never really been able to come to terms with the fact that he is a younger brother. how sad is that?— the labour leader has set out his vision for government in a speech promising to devolve more powers to communities. sir keir starmer said that if labour win the next election, they'll introduce what he calls a �*take back control bill�* that would transfer power from westminster to communities across the country. our political correspondent damian grammaticus reports. search keir starmer�*s labour party has a sizeable lead in the polls so this speech had a clear aim, to engineer a way to cement that by appropriating the message that had

such success in the brexit campaign. he is offering voters a greater control of their lives and communities, tangible improvements he says the tories have failed to deliver. ~ , w ., ~ deliver. we will embrace the take back control _ deliver. we will embrace the take back control message _ deliver. we will embrace the take back control message but - deliver. we will embrace the take back control message but we - deliver. we will embrace the take back control message but we will| back control message but we will turnit back control message but we will turn it from a slogan into a solution, from a catchphrase interchange. we will spread control out of westminster, devolved new powers over employment support, transport, energy, climate change, housing, culture, childcare provision and how councils when their finances. provision and how councils when theirfinances. and we provision and how councils when their finances. and we will give communities a new right to request powers that go beyond even that. he is still trying to distance himself from his predecessor as labour leaderjeremy corbyn, saying his government would fix problems he says the tories have created but not by promising big spending. but says the tories have created but not by promising big spending.- by promising big spending. but let me be clear- _ by promising big spending. but let me be clear. none _ by promising big spending. but let me be clear. none of— by promising big spending. but let me be clear. none of this - by promising big spending. but let me be clear. none of this should l by promising big spending. but let. me be clear. none of this should be taken as code for labour getting its big government cheque book out. of course investment is required. i can

think what you get when you look at step back and look at full speeches is both men are competing to be prime minister after the next general election but because one is in government and the other isn't the approach is rather different. rishi sunak seems like a man in a hurry to prove he can do and achieve stop. hence those promises he made some pretty achievable and others more vague. so he can say this is what i said i would try and do this is what i have done come the election. from keir starmer�*s perspective quite limited in terms of specifics, he doesn't want any sparkly ideas as he might see them nicked by the government and implemented in advance, but trying to shape and output, a broad vision of what labour in government would look like. and really striking that he should cloak himself in the language of brexit. this is a man who campaigned for remain and wanted a second referendum on brexit but now using the phrase take back control, the slogan to describe his

plan to push power away from westminster. 0ne plan to push power away from westminster. one of the things to keep an eye out on the sutterlin, and expectation the government will be saying something pretty soon about strikes and new laws to limit the impact of industrial action, something labour oppose, a clear dividing line there between the two big parties here. dividing line there between the two big parties here-— rail passengers are facing a third day of disruption this week — but this time it's the drivers' union aslef who are on strike, over pay — and they're warning they may escalate their action. the strike by thousands of drivers at 15 rail companies, comes in the middle of two 48 hour stoppages by another rail union, the rmt, meaning a week of chaos on the railways. katy austin is at waterloo station in london. how much disruption is there today? many of the affected operators are

running now trains at all, some of them are running a limited service, there are some trains in and out of waterloo for example, and it is a train driver is in the aslef union taking action to take. as webb says with the cost of living going up its members need a pay rise and so far they say there has been no official offer put to them by the train companies representatives and the leader of aslef says he thinks members are per prepared to take action for as long as it takes and could even step up the action they are taking, it could intensify. the rmt union has already had an offer from train companies which the union rejected. that was of 4% pay rise one year and 4% at the next, but with conditions attached many of which the rmt are unhappy about. the rail delivery group which speaks for those train companies told me they do feel they are getting closer to making an offer to the aslef union but they also say reforms have to be

on the table to free up the money for a pay rise. work is clearly going on behind the scenes towards putting their proposals forward to aslef and we know there is, there will be meetings on monday between the rail industry, rail minister on behalf of the government and the union leaders.— last year was officially the warmest on record. the met office has confirmed that — for the first time — the average annual temperature in 2022 was more than ten degrees celsius. that means the ten warmest years on record in this country have all been in the last two decades — clear proof, say scientists, of dramatic climate change. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. remember the hot summer with those record—breaking high temperatures? well, it wasn'tjust record—breaking high temperatures? well, it wasn't just the summer that was hot. the spring, autumn and winter was, too. was hot. the spring, autumn and winterwas, too. in was hot. the spring, autumn and winter was, too. in fact every month except december was hotter than

and conservation groups have been concerned about the truss administration's approach to farming subsidies. when a scheme to reward farmers for helping the environment was paused it was called "an attack on nature". today, the farming minister mark spencer, speaking at a conference in oxford, announced that there would be more money in the post—brexit payment scheme for greener farming. it's a huge step in the right direction. this is about listening to those people who are delivering on the ground floor. it's about achieving our environmental ambitions as a government but also making sure farming is sustainable for the next three or four generations. in the drive to produce food over the last 50 years, it's intensive farming methods that have had such an impact on many species. now, the promised money, creating hedgerows, taking care of the soil, planting trees, will try to reverse these impacts, to take greater care of the natural world. however, some farming groups are

worried about the lack of detail. what about food security? and will the environmental damagejust be exported, with local producers being undercut by cheap imports? claire marshall, bbc news, 0xford. the time is1:18 the time is 1:18 p m. our top story this lunchtime... prince harry claims he was physically attacked by his brother prince william, according to a newspaper which says it's seen harry's forthcoming memoir. coming up, the campaigners who are calling for children to be taught in school about how to deal with grief. coming up on the bbc news channel — guardiola wants his players to fight until the end as city face chelsea tonight, aiming to cut arsenal's lead at the top of the table to five points. tens of thousands of mourners have gathered at the vatican for the funeral of the former pope benedict, who died

on new year's eve. benedict had been the first pontiff to retire since the middle ages. the service, in st peter's square, was attended by roman catholic clergy and members of european royalfamilies. it was conducted by the current pope, francis. 0ur religion editor aleem maqbool reports from the vatican. before the largest church in all christendom, in front of a crowd of 50,000, he was brought for one final time, to spontaneous applause. applause. it was the last occasion the two popes were together. 0ne presiding over the funeral of the other. during his homily, pope francis used biblical references in which he appeared to compare benedict tojesus.

translation: we want to do this with the same wisdom, _ tenderness and devotion that he bestowed on us over the years. together we want to say, father, into your hands we commend his spirit. in the crowd were an estimated 4000 members of the clergy, and many who admired the pope emeritus as a theologian and intellectual. although of course, pope benedict wasn't a sitting pope when he died, a lot of the liturgy, a lot of the rituals, are those that we've seen through the ages at papalfunerals. unusually though, at this funeral, for the first time in centuries, prayers are devoted to both petitions to god for both the previous pope and the current one.

and there was a final farewell prayer — inside the coffin with pope benedict, a deed detailing his achievements. it included a line about his role in tackling abuse that's riled some of his critics. there are others, though, who called out as the service ended that benedict xvi should now be made a saint. aleem maqbool, bbc news, at the vatican. the football association says there's been an increase in the amount of abusive chanting at grounds in the last few months, including some about the hillsborough disaster. the fa has condemned the chants, but there are calls for clubs which fail to crack down on the problem to be fined or have points docked. nick garnett has the story. chanting.

"always the victims," they're shouting. a chant linked to events at hillsborough in 1989. this is a group of everton supporters four months ago. and again... chanting. "the sun was right!" they chant. "you're murderers." manchester united fans on their way into anfield last year. the chants date back to the lie that liverpool fans were to blame for their own deaths. but the lie and the taunts have never gone away. some believe it's getting worse and action needs to be taken. something's got to be done drastically. and i have asked the fa. yes. you should fine the club heavily or deduct points. that's the only answer. but liverpool's manager wonders if fans should just ignore the abuse. by mentioning it and going against it, it's absolutely what we have to do. but it might lead to the situation that is singing next time even louder, if they want to,

if they want to hurt us, and then it's about us. how much does it hurt? tragedy is always picked on, on purpose, whether it be rangers fans over the ibrox disaster, or spurs supporters over anti—semitic abuse, or here at old trafford, manchester united supporters taunted for years over the munich air disaster. newsreel: on the fringe of a munich airport lies i the wreckage of an airliner... the plane crash as manchester united were on the way home from a european game killed 23 people. it was the club's darkest day. liverpool fans chanting "munich" at old trafford four years ago. it's notjust on the terraces. some of the strongest abuse is directed online. it's disgraceful. i mean, i've been threatened to be raped. lou brooks's brother andrew was one of the 97 who were killed at hillsborough. she's fought to protect their reputation ever since.

i'm not putting up with it. you know, i'm hopefully about to take the third troll to court and potentially a fourth at the moment, because i'm not tolerating it. just this weekend homophobic chanting was heard during a game between nottingham forest and chelsea. the club and the police are investigating. the premier league says it is treating the issue seriously, but in the grounds and online the abuse continues. nick garnett, bbc news. the government has confirmed it will not go ahead with a controversial plan to privatise channel 4. the broadcaster, which is funded entirely by adverts, will remain in public ownership. instead the government wants reforms to allow the channel more flexibility to create content and to make money from its own content. the retail website amazon is cutting more than 18,000 jobs across the world in one of the largest lay—offs in its history. it's understood jobs will be lost

about my feelings more. it was incredibly difficult for the rest of the family, too — sister rebecca, brotherjosh and dad richard. is there a good age at which this conversation can be had? if you'd have asked me that when kerry passed away, i'd have probably given you a different answer. i was frightened at that point about what to talk to them about. what kind of conversation do you have? and we were really lucky thatjohn kind of walked into our home that morning, notjust as a person who'd come to collect a body, but he took the kids aside and said, you know, "this is about you." so this is the room here that we arrange funerals in... he's talking aboutjohn adams, who not only helped organise kerry's funeral, but also gave them bereavement support. he lost his own mum at 12 and is leading a campaign for this type of discussion to happen in every school. it's about helping to instil some compassion and empathy into classrooms across the uk, helping teachers with signposting and tools, and knowing how to communicate with children,

and also about giving tools to young people to see them through the rest of their lives as well. are you coping with it, like, better than you did before? j like, just being able to talk to people about it has helped so much more than before. back at school, it's been a good chance for the children to discuss a really difficult subject. so how does it feel for you guys to listen to this, and how has it been just, like, asking questions about it? it's a bit weird sometimes. i feel like sometimes we're invading your privacy or whatever. dealing with their mum's death was the worst thing imaginable. they were lucky they have each other, but think lessons at school will leave other children better prepared for bereavement. phil mackie, bbc news, shropshire. the r&b girl band flo have been named the winners of the bbc sound of 2023. previous winners of the prize,
