prince harry was one of them.claims more than 140 newspaper articles going back to his very early life as a young guy, dating girlfriends, being in the army, that during that period, those newspaper articles breached his privacy. this is some of the things he said in court in the summer. he said he felt he couldn't trust anybody in his personal circle, which was an awful feeling for him. especially at such a young age. he said he had experienced hostility from the press since he was born. of course, he was born into a family deeply troubled by the death of his mother, princess diana. he said at one point, perhaps the most telling thing he said in court, was that he wanted the courts, he was giving evidence in a court, to put a stop to this madness by ruling that this sort of infringement of his privacy had happened. mirror group newspapers have obviously denied that its executives were involved. as you said today, reiterated one of the statements it has made throughout this process. it says aware historical wrongd

it seems like a long time ago prince harry was in court this - prince harry was in court this summer,s press and a very unusual spectacle, a very senior royal giving evidence in a witness box in a british court, something that, as you said, hasn't happened for more than 100 years. the

and then he went on the attack, um, about prince harry himself saying that harry is outrage juice. f the fact how outrageous it was that he was talking and criticising about the royal family as prince philip and the late queen were dying. so really strong words there from piers morgan, former editor of the daily mirror. >> yeah. and he rounded off by saying prince harry claims his mission is to reform the press. i thought the most blistering line was the finale. his real mission is to destroy the royal family so if we thought piers morgan was going to come out and try and placate matters, try and put the fire out, that's the opposite of what happened. this is rev things up once again. cameron. >> absolutely. and it's going to be really interesting to see where all the different authorities from here. authorities go from here. prince harry, his statements harry, in his statements delivered via lawyer david delivered via his lawyer david sherborne outside court sherborne outside the court earlier on, um called upon the metropolitan police and prosecuting authorities to a investigate.

i am sure prince harry did not do it for the 140,000 pound settlement.did it obviously to get to the facts, to get to the truth. i think you will find many more people and other newspapers going forward. i'm pretty sure that wl happen. >> very good of you to join us. thank you for your time deceiving. around the world and across the u.k., you are watching the bbc. let's take a quick look at other stories making the news in the u.k. there has been an alarming rise the number of young children in scotland escaping from nursery school care. two children a week on average disappeared from nursery or on trips in the past year. the nursery trade association said members were taking the issue seriously and cited staffing pressures with the greater number of inexperienced staff. households face paying more for energy to help suppliers recover nearly 3 billion pounds in debts from customers who cannot pay their bills. they are proposing lifting the energy price cap by 16 pounds from april. the watchdog said it wanted energy companies to use the after funding to s

tonight at ten — prince harry hails a great day for truth as he scores a legal victory over tabloid newspapers but a former editor bites back. last summer the prince set a modern legal precedent by his appearance in court — today he was awarded over £140,000 by the high court. thejudge ruled his phone was hacked by mirror group newspapers — but piers morgan — a former editor — gave a scorching response as for him saying this is a good day for truth, the duke has been repeatedly exposed in recent years as someone who wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him around his california—tanned face. also tonight — the israeli military expresses deep remorse after it mistakenly shoots dead three hostages being held in gaza. in the us, rudy giuliani — donald trump's former lawyer — is ordered to pay over £100 million for false claims of vote tampering in the 2020 election. the british boy alex batty found this week after six years — french officials give details of what happened to him. and on the eve of the strictly final — we hear from the three couples giving it their all — in the hope of dance floor

clearly a win for prince harry, proving his case for prince harry, proving his case for example on storiesriend, and £12,000 awarded for a story about william and harry worrying about whether they should meet the former butler of their mother princess diana. beyond that questions for the senior executives named in thejudgment beyond that questions for the senior executives named in the judgment who it is said by the judge turned a blind eye to phone hacking at their own organisation and said at a public inquiry while phone hacking was going on that it wasn't going on. there are questions too about whether the police might take another look at this. often forgotten the met police did investigate trinity mirror journalists in 2013, there were arrests, and in 2015 the decision was taken to take no further action against about ten journalists. we have asked the met police if they will take action after this judgment today, we are waiting for a response. i think clearly questions for piers morgan, thejudge said he did know about phone hacking, mr morgan has always said he did not know how to do

prince harry, seen here leaving court in the summer, has had his judgment.—profile, have similar claims against the mirror group, and will be examining the judge's decision closely. alan yentob has held senior roles here at the bbc. he was formerly comptroller of bbc one and bbc two. he sued the mirror group newspapers in 2015 after his phone was hacked. a very good evening. you've had some experience, what happened to you? what happened to me was unusual because there weren't many stories about me in the mirror, but my address book and my phone were sort of cold and aladdin's came by david sherwood, involved in the harry case and has done many of the hacking cases. it was the met police who came to me because people had been found responsible for hacking and felt guilty and owned up to the fact that they had been hacking my phone. what's particularly interesting about my case, i think, is there was about my case, i think, is there was a complete denial by the mirror that they had hacked it. eventually, they offered me £100,000, which was a significant sum i

prince harry is not the only one. a lot of the press, they said before, oh, it's just a few vulgar -- it didn't really matter. what the court found was it was extensive. it was widespread, is it sounds like a bonanza of phone hacking and the senior members in the newspaper, the editor, piers morgan, he knew about it. this is a very significant win for prince harry. it's a great day for truth, and he is a man who feels the press chased his mother and who in turn did the same to his family, and he's not going to -- he's just not going to take it lying down. >> he is definitely trying it turn things around. this judge, you know, found mirror group newspapers, you know, engaged in unlawful information gathering, and this really is one of many civil cases that harry has filed. so do you believe the outcome of this one will influence his other upcominging case, i mean favorably for him? >> yes, prince harry is the first senior royal to give evidence in the witness box for 130 years because he gave evidence in june. this is
