Prince Harry reveals he's had counselling to help him come

:00:00.:00:00.

to terms with the death of his mother.

:00:07.:00:11.

The Prince says it was not until his late 20s that he processed his grief

:00:12.:00:15.

over losing his mother, Princess Diana.

:00:16.:00:17.

I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12 and therefore

:00:18.:00:20.

shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years has had

:00:21.:00:24.

a quite serious effect on not only my personal life

:00:25.:00:27.

A country divided, as Turkey's President Erdogan

:00:28.:00:33.

promises to press ahead with new powers after narrowly

:00:34.:00:35.

US Vice President Mike Pence warns that his country's "era of strategic

:00:36.:00:44.

And a new super-sewer under the River Thames, to deal

:00:45.:00:51.

Prince Harry has revealed that he has received counselling

:00:52.:01:16.

to help him come to terms with the death of his

:01:17.:01:19.

The Prince told the Daily Telegraph that he'd spent 20 years not

:01:20.:01:23.

thinking about his mother's death when he was 12 but eventually sought

:01:24.:01:27.

Mental health charities have welcomed the Prince's decision

:01:28.:01:32.

Our royal correspondent, Peter Hunt, has the story.

:01:33.:01:39.

This is a senior royal as we've never seen or heard them before.

:01:40.:01:42.

Prince Harry is the most high-profile person yet to talk

:01:43.:01:46.

In doing so, he's hoping to break the taboo that

:01:47.:01:51.

As a child, Harry, with his brother William, had a close, fun

:01:52.:02:02.

relationship with Diana, Princess of Wales.

:02:03.:02:05.

She was, according to the Prince, quite simply

:02:06.:02:08.

In 1997, with quite literally the world watching,

:02:09.:02:16.

Harry walked behind his mother's coffin after she'd been killed

:02:17.:02:19.

As an adult, 20 years on, he is now talking about the impact

:02:20.:02:25.

I can safely say that losing my mum at the age of 12 and therefore

:02:26.:02:30.

shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years has had

:02:31.:02:35.

a quite serious effect on not only my personal life

:02:36.:02:39.

My way of dealing with it was refusing to ever think about my mum,

:02:40.:02:44.

Growing up, not confronting his mother's death,

:02:45.:02:51.

Prince Harry suffered anxiety and came close to a breakdown.

:02:52.:02:54.

Eventually, after being encouraged by William, he saw a counsellor.

:02:55.:02:59.

All of a sudden, all of this grief I'd never processed started

:03:00.:03:02.

I was like, there's actually a lot of stuff I need to deal with.

:03:03.:03:07.

It was 20 years of not thinking about it and then two

:03:08.:03:10.

As I'm sure you know, some of the easiest people

:03:11.:03:14.

to speak to are shrinks - I know the Americans

:03:15.:03:18.

call them shrinks - someone you've never met before.

:03:19.:03:20.

You sit down and say, listen, I don't actually need your advice.

:03:21.:03:23.

I've done that a couple of times, more than a couple.

:03:24.:03:30.

To have someone of his profile talking so openly about stuff

:03:31.:03:34.

I can't even begin to tell you how important.

:03:35.:03:38.

If, when I was 12 and I first got ill, if members of the Royals

:03:39.:03:43.

were standing up and talking about their mental health,

:03:44.:03:46.

I think how different the subsequent decades could have been.

:03:47.:03:53.

Kate, William and Harry are behind a Heads Together campaign

:03:54.:03:55.

that is being supported the London Marathon.

:03:56.:03:58.

The racing Royals with influence hope it will be

:03:59.:04:01.

President Erdogan of Turkey has pledged to press ahead with sweeping

:04:02.:04:08.

changes to the country's political system, after narrowly securing

:04:09.:04:12.

support for plans to increase presidential powers in a referendum.

:04:13.:04:16.

The main opposition party in Turkey says it will challenge the result.

:04:17.:04:20.

Our correspondent Mark Lowen reports from Ankara.

:04:21.:04:25.

Victory, but not as sweet as they'd hoped.

:04:26.:04:28.

Government supporters partied into the night, confident they'd

:04:29.:04:31.

The opposition cried foul but, for those celebrating,

:04:32.:04:38.

a chance to assert their win and warn it's irreversible.

:04:39.:04:42.

TRANSLATION: We are the winners, the people have won,

:04:43.:04:44.

God willing, we'll have better days to come.

:04:45.:04:52.

President Erdogan believes he has a mandate for the biggest political

:04:53.:04:54.

He told supporters everybody must accept the result,

:04:55.:05:01.

which would concentrate huge power in his hands.

:05:02.:05:04.

He even proposed another referendum on restoring the death penalty.

:05:05.:05:07.

That would end Turkey's last remaining hopes of joining the EU.

:05:08.:05:15.

Opposition parties won't fall silent, claiming

:05:16.:05:17.

They say 1.5 million invalid ballots without an official stamp

:05:18.:05:24.

were counted, and have vowed to contest the result.

:05:25.:05:28.

TRANSLATION: A wrong decision, an illegal decision made this

:05:29.:05:32.

We don't find this appropriate and we will pursue this until the end.

:05:33.:05:42.

What was President Erdogan's pet project has made this country more

:05:43.:05:45.

The other side talking of an overshadowed ballot.

:05:51.:05:54.

This vital Western ally in a volatile region,

:05:55.:05:56.

TRANSLATION: I don't think this is enough, because the result

:05:57.:06:03.

It's obvious that a large part of society does not

:06:04.:06:07.

TRANSLATION: I don't know what the new system

:06:08.:06:12.

will bring but I am happy, because a person I support has

A contested referendum, deep splits, terror attacks,

Just a few years ago, this country was held up as a model

US Vice President Mike Pence, who's on a visit to South Korea,

:06:29.:06:39.

has warned that his country's "era of strategic patience"

:06:40.:06:42.

It comes as South Korea and the United States agreed

:06:43.:06:47.

to speed up a defence system designed to intercept

:06:48.:06:49.

North Korean missiles, something China views as a threat

:06:50.:06:52.

Our Seoul correspondent, Stephen Evans, reports.

:06:53.:07:05.

The American vice president went to the front line, the demilitarised

:07:06.:07:10.

zone between north and south Korea, what he called the frontier of

:07:11.:07:15.

freedom. For him, the visit was personal because his father fought

:07:16.:07:20.

in the Korean War. From the other side today, North Korean guards

:07:21.:07:21.

looked back and took pictures. Vice President Pence's mission

today, to affirm support for the alliance between the US

and South Korea. We will defeat any attack

and we will meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons

:08:21.:08:23.

were now on the table, implying that attacking North Korea

remains possible, despite warnings What remains unclear is how

missiles frequently. Sometimes they succeed

and sometimes they fail. Would the US attack North Korea

:09:38.:09:52.

happened? It was just after 1am this morning when police say anti-Semitic

:09:53.:09:57.

substance was sprayed inside this might club -- and acidic substance.

:09:58.:10:03.

I have this -- a hazardous response team and ambulances went to the

:10:04.:10:07.

scene but 12 people were injured and treated in hospital. Two men, both

:10:08.:10:13.

in their 20s, are in a serious but stable condition and others have

:10:14.:10:15.

been treated for minor burns injuries. We have heard from the

:10:16.:10:19.

police and they say they believe there was some kind of argument

:10:20.:10:24.

between two groups of people, and that resulted in one man throwing

:10:25.:10:27.

this substance directly at two others. This nightclub was then

:10:28.:10:32.

evacuated, roads in the area were completely closed off for some time.

:10:33.:10:38.

Police say no arrests so far have taken place, but there is nothing to

:10:39.:10:40.

suggest this was gang-related. Police in the US state of Ohio

:10:41.:10:43.

are hunting a man suspected of posting a video on social media

:10:44.:10:46.

of him fatally shooting a stranger. Officers in the city of Cleveland

:10:47.:10:49.

say the suspect, Steve Stevens, claimed in a later Facebook video

:10:50.:10:52.

to have killed 12 other people, but the city's police

of raw sewage has been dumped into the River Thames

on a new super-sewer that's big enough to deal with the growing

:11:48.:11:52.

population of the city, as our correspondent

:11:53.:11:55.

Richard Westcott found out. Around once a week,

:11:56.:11:59.

the River Thames becomes a toilet. Thousands of tonnes of raw sewage

:12:00.:12:02.

are flushed into the water because the old Victorian

:12:03.:12:06.

sewers can't cope. Now, I don't quite know what I'm

:12:07.:12:11.

going to find down here. Designed in the 1860s

:12:12.:12:19.

by engineer Joseph Bazalgette, these sewers saved countless lives

:12:20.:12:25.

by helping to stop This whole area is like the overflow

:12:26.:12:28.

on your sink but on a massive scale. When it rains, all the rainwater

:12:29.:12:36.

and the sewage comes down Joseph Bazalgette built the sewers

:12:37.:12:39.

to cope with 4 million people. 8 million people live

:12:40.:12:47.

in London today. It means just a couple

:12:48.:12:50.

of millimetres of rain is enough I'm trying not to look down,

:12:51.:12:53.

for obvious reasons, When it rains a lot in London,

:12:54.:12:59.

does this tunnel just fill up? It's gone straight from a shower

:13:00.:13:05.

or a toilet and goes straight through here,

:13:06.:13:11.

straight into the river, but the quantity is up

:13:12.:13:14.

to 50 tonnes per second I'm getting in my head a scene

:13:15.:13:17.

from a film with the water and everything else coming piling

bills go up for years Critics say it is too big and too

expensive, denied by the boss. There are now 8 million people

in London and we are talking about 11, 12, goodness knows what,

30 years that that wasn't enough, that wouldn't look

like a clever decision. The super sewer will not be finished
