thank you, ben, it's a pleasure. "harry's naked romp", "diana so sad on harry's big day" and "harry cocaine, ecstasy and ghb parties". just some of the headlines in the mirror, sunday mirror and sunday people about prince harry between 1991 and 2011. and tomorrow, prince harry will get his day in the high court to argue that those stories were obtained by phone hacking and other unlawful information gathering in his case against mirror group newspapers. the stakes couldn't be higher. it will be the first time ever a member of the royal family has taken the stand to give evidence as a claimant. the mirror group denies phone hacking in this case, but it has previously admitted its staff hacked phones. dr evan harris is a legal consultant to prince harry's team and a former director of hacked off, the group that campaigns against alleged press abuses. so, it was actually 2011 that the news of the world close down.

tomorrow, one of the most high—profile men in the world is cross—examined about the stories about him. just put that into some context for our audience. 1 about him. just put that into some context for our audience.— context for our audience. i think --eole context for our audience. i think peeple will— context for our audience. i think people will remember— context for our audience. i think people will remember the - context for our audience. i think - people will remember the levenson inquiry in 2011, which was cut off half way through by a big lobby from the corporate press to a government who conceded for the first time ever, cancelled a public inquiry which is going to be fact—finding. —— leveson. ithink which is going to be fact—finding. —— leveson. i think it is as a result of that that prince harry, but other claimants, are determined to make sure that the courts reach a decision on exactly who did what to whom, and so that is going to be the result of this. the only audience that matters for the claimants and this is the judge, that matters for the claimants and this is thejudge, but it that matters for the claimants and this is the judge, but it would that matters for the claimants and this is thejudge, but it would be wrong to say that there isn't a media out there, and the press is very bad at reporting its own wrongdoing, with notable exceptions, and that is why, i think people will see it is significant that such a high—profile figure, unprecedented, as you say, for a member of the

royalfamily, will be as you say, for a member of the royal family, will be setting out or trying to set out what happened to him. it should be remembered that what will happen tomorrow as cross—examination. his evidence is in a witness statement which will be released at 10:30am, but he won't be allowed to set that out verbally. he will be on the receiving end of a kings council cross examination. asking leading questions, and... that could be really challenging for some it that could be really challenging for som - , that could be really challenging for some- there — that could be really challenging for some it is. there could be stories about his mother, _ some it 3 there could be stories about his mother, his some t 3 there could be stories about his mother, his drug—taking. it could be tricky, potentially. yes, i think the mirror have made clear, and it is their right, to make it as difficult as possible. for all the claimant witnesses. and they have given the claimant witness is a hard time, attacking, i would say, unsuccessfully, their credibility. and the council for the claimants have given a hard time to those few people, and there are only a few, who have come forward from the side of the newspaper. what is surprising is, and this was raised in court today, the dogs that are not barking here. none of the editors from the time when the mirror have made admissions of the illegality have come forward to say,

yes, but it was not me. so you have the editor of the express, gary jones, mentioned in court a lot. the editor in chief of reach, who is alleged to have done this and covered it up, and of course, piers morgan, no longer employed. the position with him is... hang morgan, no longer employed. the position with him is. . ._ position with him is... hang on. they don't _ position with him is... hang on. they don't have _ position with him is... hang on. they don't have to _ position with him is... hang on. they don't have to be _ position with him is... hang on. they don't have to be there, - position with him is... hang on. | they don't have to be there, they don't have to take the stand. absolutely, but they have big platforms, and piers morgan uses his platforms, and piers morgan uses his platform to attack claimants, but the question that the judge has to ask himself is, what do i do? i have got documents and evidence from the claimants, and nothing from the other side to counter that. well, we will see what _ other side to counter that. well, we will see what happens. _ other side to counter that. well, we will see what happens. even - other side to counter that. well, we will see what happens. even if - will see what happens. even if prince harry wins, he could still end up having to pay the other side's costs, and that could run into hundreds of tablets of thousands, if not millions. is that right? thousands, if not millions. is that riuht? . �* . thousands, if not millions. is that riuht? . 3 ~ , . thousands, if not millions. is that riuht? ., �*, ~' , , right? that's unlikely in this case, because that _ right? that's unlikely in this case, because that would _ right? that's unlikely in this case, because that would only _ right? that's unlikely in this case, because that would only apply - right? that's unlikely in this case, because that would only apply if l right? that's unlikely in this case, | because that would only apply if an offer has been made and has settled, and i don't know if that is the case, but if... everyone going into

this can be assumed to have insurance against having a costs award, they can't see any circumstance in which any of the claimants genuinely would face having to pay the other side's costs, because this is... liability has been partially admitted by the mirror already, you have to remember, so the question is, to what extent it went on, and i don't think cost in this case will be the issue. the issue is, how will the judge compare the evidence from one side against the other when there is an absence of witnesses on the other side? thank you very much for being with us. that's all from us tonight. i'm back tomorrow. see you then.

want the experience to be. i think vr, virtual reality, was the way the industry was going in the old days, and now it's looking much more to integrate with our reality rather than try to completely remove ourselves from it. i'm here in apple park, which is apple's iconic headquarters, and tim cook is releasing a new bit of tech from a firm that's not released anything staggeringly new and seven years, and it's got the clout of disney behind it, bob iger walked up on stage and said it would bring real life magic to people cosmic lives. well, is there a drawback? one of thoseis well, is there a drawback? one of those is the price, $3500 at launch next year. and in terms of making this device, how many people will actually be able to afford it? i actually be able to afford it? i definitely thought about that, but also will this app at least bring

products, apple today has taken a different path, giving a two and a half hour presentation where it didn't mention ai at all. there were bits of it that will underpin things like making its predictive texting smarter, that kind of thing, but no big ai revealed here, it was very much about bringing this augmented reality to life. and also when you think about vr, you think about gamers, and in the past its been very much marketed as a gaming tool, whereas this is much more about your community, friends, videos and photos bring them to life in a new dimension that tim cook is calling spatial computing.— spatial computing. thank you so much, spatial computing. thank you so much. zoe. _ spatial computing. thank you so much, zoe, and _ spatial computing. thank you so much, zoe, and we _ spatial computing. thank you so much, zoe, and we will - spatial computing. thank you so much, zoe, and we will have - spatial computing. thank you so i much, zoe, and we will have more spatial computing. thank you so - much, zoe, and we will have more on that story on asian business report. a case at the high court in the uk — brought by prince harry and other public figures alleging that mirror group newspapers illegally gathered information, including, hacking phone voicemails to get stories — has started to hear evidence. but harry was not in court to give evidence, prompting thejudge

to express "surprise". the newspapers' lawyer said there was no evidence to back up prince harry's claims, though they did admit previously, that illegal means had been used in separate incidents. our culture and media editor katie razzall has the latest. locked in a battle with the tabloid press, harry versus mirror group newspapers, a fight that began many decades ago and has ended up in court. prince harry claims he was targeted by the papers, even when he was a child, and right up to 2011, thatjournalists and private investigators hacked his phone and the phones of his friends and associates and used other unlawful methods to invade his privacy. his barrister said today the daily mirror had also listened into his mother, princess diana's voice mail messages. the information which he claims could only have been obtained illegally often ended up on the front pages and these stories drove sales. a headline in 2001 — "rugger off" — about how a back injury was stopping the then 17—year—old prince playing rugby, had all the tell—tale signs,

said his barrister, of being discovered unlawfully. another from 2002 about drug—taking is alleged to have involved payments to private investigators. many of the 33 articles under scrutiny in the court concern his on—off with chelsy davy. —— on off relationship. the pressure led to prince harry suffering bouts of depression — and with the mirror apparently knowing their every move, you can hardly blame her for ending the relationship, the judge heard today. prince harry was not at the high court. he flew into london overnight from los angeles. the judge said he was a little surprised at the prince's absence today, as he had previously said witnesses should be available the day before they're due to give evidence. mgn's lawyer, andrew green kc, did not mince his words, calling it "absolutely extraordinary that he is not available for day one of his own trial". mr sherborne, for the prince, explained his travel arrangements are such and his security arrangements are such that it is a little bit tricky. the mirror has admitted

in a previous court case that phone hacking did occur at its papers between 1999 and 2006 and has paid out £100 million in damages, but it says there is no evidence in prince harry's case — no data showing calls to his phone, no admissions byjournalists, no suggestion by the police that he was hacked. his security operation was like very few on earth, said mr green, and journalists would have been taking an enormous risk in targeting him. as to the claims mgn hacked princess diana, he called it total speculation without any evidential basis whatsoever. outside this court, they have been preparing for the intense interest tomorrow will bring, when the duke of sussex steps into the witness box — the first senior royal in more than a century to give evidence in a court. prince harry will be cross examined for the next day—and—a—half by a skilled barrister whose job it is to prove him wrong about where mgn got their stories. it is likely to be highly personal, about information he would rather had never made it into the public domain. it could be bruising and reputationally damaging, but in his efforts to reform the tabloid press, he clearly thinks

it is worth the risk. katie razzall, bbc news. to australia — where a woman who had spent 20 years in prison has been pardoned. kathleen folbigg was once branded the country's worst female serial killer for allegedly killing her four children. but scientists now believe the children may have died of natural causes. callum tulley has more. kathleen folbigg was convicted of killing her four infant children back in 2003. now she was accused of smothering them at various points between the years of 1989 and 1999, and we can see a picture of them here. now for patrick, here on the centreleft, for sarah, to his right, and for laura, to her right, kathleen was found guilty of murder. for caleb, on the very left here who died when he was just 19 days old, she was found guilty of manslaughter. so she ends up spending the best part of the next 20 years here in the high—security compound of the southwater prison, in sydney. now later on, much later,

she ends up coming here to the clarence correctional facility about six—and—a—half hours away. this is where she ends up being released from — and that's because in march 2021, after a hard—fought campaign by herfriends, a group of around 90 scientists signed a petition calling for her release, saying that new scientific evidence had come to light that showed that her children had died of natural causes. now in the case of her two daughters, it became apparent that they both shared a genetic mutation that caused sudden cardiac arrest. for her two sons, it became apparent that they shared a different genetic mutation that caused sudden onset epilepsy found in mice. and it's on this evidence that the governor of new south wales demanded the release of kathleen — and essentially, in doing so,

that's it for the programme, thanks so much for watching newsday. hello there. ourfine, dry run of weather continued on monday. plenty of sunshine out west, bit more cloud in the east, and that created some cooler air that then flowed across the uk, hence the lower temperatures that we had — for example, london going from 23 on sunday to 18 for a high on monday. the highest temperatures out west, 2a celsius, warm in the sunshine. we'll see some changes in the weather picture, though, over the next few days, and it's all down to storm oscar that's bringing torrential rain to madeira. some strong gusts of wind there, as well. oscar itself doesn't actually make it to the uk — it stays to the southwest — but it will be transporting some much warmer air our way. humidity levels rising, as will the temperatures through the weekend, mid—to—high 20s. but it won't be dry everywhere, there will be some fairly hefty thundery showers around, as well, to watch out for — something that gardeners might want, actually, given how dry

the weather's been over the last few weeks. now at the moment, we're seeing cloud come back in off the north sea, affecting central and eastern scotland, central and eastern england, eastern parts of wales, too. and so for these areas, we start the day tuesday with a lot of cloud that cool breeze with us, notable again first thing in the morning. out west, sunshine from the word go once again. now where you start cloudy, that cloud will probably get burned back towards those north sea coasts by the time we get to the afternoon, so most areas will brighten up, but there could be some areas in the east. there, the cloud loiters, the onshore winds continue to blow. it'll feel quite cool, 111—15 celsius — and that is a feature of the weather we've seen so far this month. for example, in holbeach in lincolnshire, the average forjune's 19 celsius — we'll be nowhere near that so far this month, on account of often cloudy weather we've seen, and often those chilly northeasterly winds. and another feature of the weather we've got at the moment is some of you will see quite high levels of pollen — and it's grass pollen

we have at the moment — so if you're allergic to that, you might find it being a bit sneezy on tuesday. wednesday, probably less in the way of cloud around. what little cloud there is could loiter across some english eastern coasts, but otherwise more sunshine, and so probably temperatures a little bit higher, 211—25 out west. and over the next few days, more of the same — it's really into the weekend that we see those temperatures rise, along with the humidity, and we'll probably start to see showers and thunderstorms break out, as well.
