0:00:06 > 0:00:10Prince Harry and his American girlfriend
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Meghan Markle are engaged - there'll be a royal
0:00:12 > 0:00:17wedding in the spring.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The couple appeared together here at Kensington Palace this afternoon.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23They revealed they got engaged in secret earlier this month.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26It was so sweet and natural and very romantic.
0:00:26 > 0:00:32He got on one knee.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Was it an instant "yes"?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Yes, as a matter of fact I could barely let you finish proposing,
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I was like, "Can I say yes?"
0:00:39 > 0:00:43She said "Can I say yes?", then there was hugs and I had the ring,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and I was like, "Can I give you the ring?"
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and she was like, "Oh, yes the ring!"
0:00:47 > 0:00:49The couple had only officially appeared together
0:00:49 > 0:00:50in public once before.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Harry said he knew Meghan was the one from the moment he met her.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Absolutely wonderful.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I think it's great.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Another royal wedding, something to look forward to,
0:00:57 > 0:01:02in times of trouble.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Also on tonight's programme...

0:02:01 > 0:02:08Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We're at Kensington Palace.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14It has just begun to snow.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15It's home to Prince Harry
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and where he will be joined in married life by the American
0:02:18 > 0:02:19actress Megan Markle.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21The couple were engaged in secret earlier this month,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24announced it to the world today and say their wedding will take
0:02:24 > 0:02:25place in the spring.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The couple revealed how they had been cooking roast chicken at home
0:02:28 > 0:02:30when Harry got down on one knee to propose.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Meghan said she had had no hesitation in saying yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Harry said the stars had aligned to bring them together.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Among wellwishers around the world, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
0:02:38 > 0:02:40say they are "delighted" and Prince Charles has
0:02:40 > 0:02:42declared himself thrilled.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Our first report tonight on the royal engagement,
0:02:44 > 0:02:45from our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Finally it's official, they are engaged to be married.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58and Meghan Markle, an American, an actress, a divorcee.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And, as she has put it herself, a woman who's proud
0:03:00 > 0:03:01of her mixed-race heritage.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Her mother is an African-American.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Seldom can a Royal wedding have indicated so clearly
0:03:06 > 0:03:09how times have changed.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12How are you both feeling?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Thrilled.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19And we're very glad it's not raining as well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Harry was asked when he realised Meghan was the one.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24The very first time we met.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Meghan, can you show us the ring, please?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Ah yes, the ring.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Designed, it turns out, by Harry, and including two diamonds
0:03:33 > 0:03:34owned by his late mother.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Harry and Meghan.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40He 33, she 36.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45A happy couple who met 18 months ago and who are now starting to plan
0:03:45 > 0:03:47a wedding, which will take place next spring.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Later, in an interview with the BBC's Mishal Husain,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54the couple talked about the moment, earlier this month,
0:03:54 > 0:03:55when Harry proposed.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Just an amazing surprise.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It was so sweet and natural, and very romantic.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01He got on one knee.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Of course.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Was it an instant yes from you?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yes, as a matter of fact I could barely let you finish proposing!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I was like, can I say yes now?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11She didn't even let me finish.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Then there was hugs and I had the ring in my finger.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I said, "Can I give you the ring?"
0:04:16 > 0:04:18She said, "Oh yes, the ring!"
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So it was really nice moment, just the two of us and I think I managed
0:04:21 > 0:04:23to catch her by surprise as well.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30And Harry spoke of the instant impact Meghan had had on him.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly
0:04:34 > 0:04:42was sort of confirmation to me that everything,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45all the stars are aligned, everything was perfect.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46This beautiful woman, just literally tripped
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and fell into my life.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I fell into her life, and the fact that she...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I know the fact that she will be really unbelievably good at the job
0:04:54 > 0:04:57part of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me
0:04:57 > 0:04:59because she will be able to deal with everything else
0:04:59 > 0:05:01that comes with it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Within the royal family, there is, as you'd expect,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05great happiness at the news.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07The Queen was delighted, as was Harry's father,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08the Prince of Wales.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11We're thrilled, thank you very much, for both of them.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I hope they'll be very happy indeed, is all I can say.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tweeted their excitement
0:05:16 > 0:05:19for the couple, saying it had been wonderful to getting to know Meghan
0:05:19 > 0:05:24and to see how happy the couple were together.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28So now, next spring, there will be a double Royal celebration -
0:05:28 > 0:05:31another baby for William and Catherine, and a wedding
0:05:31 > 0:05:35in a so far unidentified church for Harry and his bride,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Meghan Markle.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.
0:05:43 > 0:05:53Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began dating last summer and just a year
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and a half on, news of their coming wedding has
0:05:56 > 0:05:57raced around the world.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Earlier today they spoke publicly for the first time
0:05:59 > 0:06:01about their engagement in an interview, with my
0:06:01 > 0:06:02colleague Mishal Husain.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05How did you first meet?We were introduced by a mutual friend.We
0:06:05 > 0:06:11should protect her privacy and not too much of that.It was literally
0:06:11 > 0:06:17threw her and then we met once or twice back to dates in London last
0:06:17 > 0:06:25July.Yes.Beginning of July. And then it was three or four weeks
0:06:25 > 0:06:32later that I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana and
0:06:32 > 0:06:37we camped out with each other under the stars and we spent five days out
0:06:37 > 0:06:43there which was fantastic. Then we were really by ourselves, which was
0:06:43 > 0:06:46crucial to me to make sure we had a chance to get to know each other.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The friend to introduce juke was she trying to set you up?It was
0:06:50 > 0:06:57definitely a setup!-- the friend who introduced you.We talk about it
0:06:57 > 0:07:01now, because I'm from the States, we don't grow up with the same
0:07:01 > 0:07:06understanding of the Royal family and so while I understand now very
0:07:06 > 0:07:10clearly there is a global interest there, I didn't know much about him
0:07:10 > 0:07:14and so the only thing I asked her when she said she wanted to set us
0:07:14 > 0:07:19up, one question, was he nice? Because if he wasn't kind, it didn't
0:07:19 > 0:07:24seem to make sense.In the case of your relationship, unlike many
0:07:24 > 0:07:27people, there's a layer of what it means to get involved with someone
0:07:27 > 0:07:31the Royal family. How much of a sense did you have of the enormity
0:07:31 > 0:07:38of what you be getting into and what it would mean for your life?As
0:07:38 > 0:07:41naive as it sounds now, having gone through this learning curve over the
0:07:41 > 0:07:45last year and a half, I didn't have any understanding of what it would
0:07:45 > 0:07:52be like. I think we both said that. No, I tried to warn her as much as
0:07:52 > 0:07:58possible but I think both of us were totally surprised by the reaction
0:07:58 > 0:08:01after the first five or six months we had to ourselves of what happened
0:08:01 > 0:08:07from then. I think you can have as many conversations as you'd like and
0:08:07 > 0:08:10prepare as much as possible but we were totally unprepared for what
0:08:10 > 0:08:19happened.The scrutiny?Well, all sorts.And also, there's a
0:08:19 > 0:08:21misconception that because I've worked in the entertainment industry
0:08:21 > 0:08:24that this would be something I'd be familiar with but even though I've
0:08:24 > 0:08:29been on my show for six years at that point, and working before that,
0:08:29 > 0:08:35I've never been part of tabloid culture, pop culture to that degree
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and had lived a relatively quiet life even though I focused so much
0:08:38 > 0:08:45on my job. So that was a really stark difference out of the gate.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51And we were hit so hard with a lot of untruths that I made the choice
0:08:51 > 0:08:56not to read anything, positive or negative, instead we focus our
0:08:56 > 0:09:01energies on nurturing our relationship.On us.On us.Some of
0:09:01 > 0:09:05that scrutiny, you made a public statement about it, some of the
0:09:05 > 0:09:09scrutiny was centred around your ethnicity, I think. When you realise
0:09:09 > 0:09:14that, what did you think?Of course it's disheartening. It's a shame
0:09:14 > 0:09:19that that is the climate in this world, to focus that much which
0:09:19 > 0:09:26would be discriminatory in that sense but at the end of the day I'm
0:09:26 > 0:09:31really proud of where I am and where I come from. We have never put any
0:09:31 > 0:09:36focus on that, we've just focused on who we are as a couple. When you
0:09:36 > 0:09:39take those extra layers away, all of that noise, I think it makes it
0:09:39 > 0:09:45really easy to just enjoy being together and tune the rest of it
0:09:45 > 0:09:49out.What was it like introducing Meghan to your father and your
0:09:49 > 0:09:59brother?Erm... What was it like? Exciting. I've been saying it for a
0:09:59 > 0:10:03period of time I didn't tell anybody at all. And then William was longing
0:10:03 > 0:10:11to meet her and so was Catherine. We will be neighbours, we got that in a
0:10:11 > 0:10:17couple of times and Catherine has been absolutely amazing, as has
0:10:17 > 0:10:21William, fantastic support. My father as well, we had a handful of
0:10:21 > 0:10:29teas and meetings and all sorts of gatherings at his place as well. The
0:10:29 > 0:10:32family together have been absolutely solid support.And you met the
0:10:32 > 0:10:40Queen?Yes, I have a couple of times.What's that like?It's
0:10:40 > 0:10:45incredible. First, to be able to meet her, through his lens, not just
0:10:45 > 0:10:49with his honour and respect for her as the monarch but the love he has
0:10:49 > 0:10:55for her as his grandmother, those layers have been important for me so
0:10:55 > 0:10:59when I met her I had a deep understanding and of course
0:10:59 > 0:11:04incredible respect for having that time with her. We've had a really...
0:11:04 > 0:11:12She's an incredible woman.The last 33 years of being barked at, this
0:11:12 > 0:11:25one, walking in, the corgis.Tell us about the ring.It is yellow gold
0:11:25 > 0:11:32and the main stone is from Tswana and the diamonds either side are
0:11:32 > 0:11:40from my mother's jewellery collection. She's on this crazy
0:11:40 > 0:11:45journey together.It's beautiful and he designed it. It's incredible.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51Yeah. Make sure it stays on that finger.Of course!What does it mean
0:11:51 > 0:11:55to you, Meghan, to have those stones on your finger that once belonged to
0:11:55 > 0:12:01Princess Diana?I think everything about Harry's thoughtfulness and the
0:12:01 > 0:12:07inclusion of that and obviously not being able to meet his mum, it's so
0:12:07 > 0:12:11important for me to know that she's a part of this with us.What do you
0:12:11 > 0:12:17think your mother would have thought of Meghan and said about her?She'd
0:12:17 > 0:12:23say we are as thick as thieves! Without question, she'd be over the
0:12:23 > 0:12:29moon, jumping up and down, so excited for me. But then, we've been
0:12:29 > 0:12:34best friends. It is days like today when I really miss her being around
0:12:34 > 0:12:39and being able to show her the happy news but with the ring and
0:12:39 > 0:12:43everything else going on I'm sure she is with us and jumping up and
0:12:43 > 0:12:48down somewhere else.Rinse Harry, Meghan Markle, thank you both ferry
0:12:48 > 0:12:55much.Thank you so much -- Prince Harry.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57And there will be more from Mishal's interview with Prince Harry
0:12:57 > 0:13:01and Megan Markle on the One Show - that's on BBC One at 7:00pm.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02And on the BBC website at bbc.co.uk/news.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04So what do we know about the Meghan Markle?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, she is 36, divorced and describes herself as a "strong,
0:13:07 > 0:13:08confident, mixed-raced woman".
0:13:08 > 0:13:11She grew up in Los Angeles and until she met Prince Harry
0:13:11 > 0:13:14was best known for playing Rachel Zane in the US
0:13:14 > 0:13:15TV drama Suits.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17She's also campaigned for gender equality and a variety
0:13:17 > 0:13:20of humanitarian causes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Our Royal correspondent Daniella Relph has been finding out
0:13:22 > 0:13:25more about Megan Markle, and speaking to her friends.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Have you heard?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31There is breaking news out of London this morning.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Drum roll, please.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle
0:13:34 > 0:13:35are engaged - yay!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Congratulations, Harry and Meghan.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40We don't know you, but congratulations!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But we will all get to know Meghan Markle much better
0:13:42 > 0:13:44over the next few months.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49She is no ordinary royal fiancee.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Her early acting career was made up of small
0:13:52 > 0:13:55television and film parts and adverts.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57There was also a stint opening the boxes
0:13:57 > 0:14:02on the TV programme Deal Or No Deal.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06It's Meghan Markle!
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Wow, you're pretty.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Good, you've hit on me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11We can get it out of the way that I am not interested.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12No, I'm sorry...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Before her big break in the legal drama Suits.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17But she sometimes took issue with the way her character,
0:14:17 > 0:14:17Rachel Zane, was portrayed.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19This season, every script seemed to begin with
0:14:19 > 0:14:21"Rachel enters wearing a towel."
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And I said, "Nope, not doing it any more."
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Not doing it, and I called the creator and I was like,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28"It's just gratuitous."
0:14:28 > 0:14:30We get it, you've already seen it once,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32so I think that at a certain point,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37you feel empowered enough to just say no.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Meghan Markle will bring something different
0:14:40 > 0:14:43to the British Royal family.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Born and brought up here in United States, she is a
0:14:46 > 0:14:49proud American but she's also a campaigner with strong
0:14:49 > 0:14:51opinions and, if possible, she won't want her marriage
0:14:51 > 0:14:57to limit that side her life.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Her humanitarian work has taken her around the world,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03here in Rwanda.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09She's focused on gender equality.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Particularly as an advocate for United Nations women.It's really
0:15:13 > 0:15:21hands-on, being part of this. It feels really nice.I think her
0:15:21 > 0:15:23passion for other people and wanting to create social change is
0:15:23 > 0:15:29something, with that platform, can only be positive. I bet she'll be
0:15:29 > 0:15:36fine, she'll be great in fact! Meghan Markle grew up in this
0:15:36 > 0:15:41affluent neighbourhood of Los Angeles and went to a private
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Catholic school. She's mixed race, the daughter of divorced parents.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Her mother, yoga teacher and her father, a TV and lighting director.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52In the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry some
0:15:52 > 0:15:56of the media coverage and settled them, Prince Harry releasing a
0:15:56 > 0:16:04statement suggesting coverage had racial undertones.It felt racist to
0:16:04 > 0:16:09me, like there was an attempt to make her seem like an outsider. So
0:16:09 > 0:16:14yeah that was pretty startling.This will be a whole new world for Meghan
0:16:14 > 0:16:24Markle. Swapping the small screen for a far bigger stage.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29And Daniela is with me here.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35Meghan is a very new proposition for the royal family.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41What impact do you think she will have on the Royal family?There is
0:16:41 > 0:16:45going to be that sort of American sensibility about her I think, that
0:16:45 > 0:16:50will mean she brings something different. She's not a traditional
0:16:50 > 0:16:54royal bride. Prince Harry has chosen someone who hasn't been drawn from
0:16:54 > 0:16:58one of these grand aristocratic families. She has a very different
0:16:58 > 0:17:01background and a different type of interest and I think that will show
0:17:01 > 0:17:06in the kind of work they do. During that interview there was a constant
0:17:06 > 0:17:09reference to the word team and there's a sense they both have a
0:17:09 > 0:17:19clear vision of the work
0:17:21 > 0:17:24they can do together and the changes they want to make.What also struck
0:17:24 > 0:17:26me about the interview was how at ease she seemed but nonetheless
0:17:26 > 0:17:29challengers will lie ahead for her, went there?Yes, she was very
0:17:29 > 0:17:32articulate and you could sense that, and she was at ease with herself and
0:17:32 > 0:17:35they were at ease with one another. It's interesting that she said
0:17:35 > 0:17:38people said to her you are an actress, you will cope with this
0:17:38 > 0:17:43fine. She is nervous about what lies ahead. Prince Harry said he warned
0:17:43 > 0:17:48her of the perils of royal life and the downsides of it. My sense is
0:17:48 > 0:17:52talking to people that work with her and her friends is she will probably
0:17:52 > 0:17:56just just fine to being a member of the Royal family.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'll have more from Kensington Palace later in the programme,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but for now, with the rest of the day's news, it's back
0:18:02 > 0:18:04to Clive in the studio.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Many thanks for that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Two pharmaceutical companies, say they'll invest more
0:18:08 > 0:18:11than a billion pounds in the UK, creating hundreds of new jobs
0:18:11 > 0:18:12in London and Manchester.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It comes as the government unveiled its industrial strategy today,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17designed to boost productivity and attract investment in areas such
0:18:17 > 0:18:18as artificial intelligence, driverless cars and clean energy.
0:18:18 > 0:18:24Here's our Business Editor Simon Jack.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Investing in new drugs is just the kind of medicine the economy
0:18:27 > 0:18:30needs after the bleak diagnosis of slowing growth and poor
0:18:30 > 0:18:33productivity it received last week.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35The Government's plan to incentivise investment arrives
0:18:35 > 0:18:41at a time when businesses are wary of Brexit uncertainty.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44We are the place that is going to be able to take a lead in these
0:18:44 > 0:18:46new industries of the future.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51At a time when companies are making investments,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and in the context of Brexit, to set that out with a clarity
0:18:54 > 0:18:56that we have I think is all the more important.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00The way it's supposed to work is basically this.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04The Government invest money in research and development.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Academic institutions work in partnership with business
0:19:06 > 0:19:07to provide skills and know-how.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10The Government provide test-beds for new products like faster trials
0:19:10 > 0:19:13of new drugs or public roads for driverless cars, and hey presto,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17private companies invest.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21This gene therapy company in Oxford likes the approach.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24This new strategy is very important for a business like ours.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It allows us to look at what we can work on in the future,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30look at the grants we can get to help us expand the business
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and make our processes better, to keep us at the leading edge
0:19:33 > 0:19:34of our science.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It's perhaps no surprise the Government chose life sciences
0:19:36 > 0:19:39to be the poster child for its new industrial strategy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40These are highly skilled, highly productive jobs,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44in an industry which seems to have no problem attracting investment.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Most of the UK economy is not like this.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49The Government's challenge will be to increase productivity in areas
0:19:49 > 0:19:52of the economy where workers are more likely to drive white vans
0:19:52 > 0:19:55than wear white coats.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Most people work in what we sometimes call
0:19:57 > 0:19:58the everyday economy, so shops, care homes,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01public services as well.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We think in order to boost that earning power, which is
0:20:03 > 0:20:07what the Secretary of State wanted to do, we need a strategy that
0:20:07 > 0:20:11takes them into account.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Government intervention in industry has a chequered history
0:20:13 > 0:20:15with memories of money being poured into failing companies,
0:20:15 > 0:20:16but even opposition parties
0:20:16 > 0:20:20now agree the Government does have a role, and a problem.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21You're getting business and government working together
0:20:21 > 0:20:24and trying to think long-term and that must be right,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26but the problem the Government's now got is that,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28because of the Brexit negotiations, companies don't know
0:20:28 > 0:20:34where they stand so they are not investing, or very few of them are.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Will the plan work?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Of the two companies who announced investment today, one told
0:20:38 > 0:20:41the BBC it would have done it with or without the strategy
0:20:41 > 0:20:43and the second said it hadn't finalised the size
0:20:43 > 0:20:45of its investment, but the life sciences industry
0:20:45 > 0:20:47broadly welcomed it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49There have been industrial strategies before and you haven't
0:20:49 > 0:20:51heard the last of this one.
0:20:51 > 0:21:00Simon Jack, BBC News.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03West Yorkshire Police say the five victims of a fatal car crash
0:21:03 > 0:21:06in Leeds over the weekend, were all in the vehicle
0:21:06 > 0:21:07when it hit a tree.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Two men and three boys died in the incident on Saturday night
0:21:10 > 0:21:11in the Meanwood area of the city.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Danny Savage reports.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14The scene of Saturday night's terrible crash
0:21:14 > 0:21:16remains sealed off today.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19The search for evidence to establish how and why a stolen car
0:21:19 > 0:21:20careered off a straight road.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22The tree it hit is scarred,
0:21:22 > 0:21:30as are some of the people who were first on the scene.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33When I arrived here in the early hours of Sunday morning,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37this was a catastrophic scene.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39All the witnesses, all the police officers,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41all the emergency services that were here would have seen
0:21:41 > 0:21:45absolutely a scene of total carnage.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Named locally, the youngest victims were
0:21:47 > 0:21:55Ellis and Elliott Thornton, who were brothers aged just 12 and 14.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Also in the car was 15-year-old Darnell Harte
0:21:57 > 0:21:59along with 24-year-old Robbie Meerun
0:21:59 > 0:22:05and father of two Anthoney Armour who was also 24.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The Renault Clio was stolen and some of the people in it
0:22:08 > 0:22:11were known to police.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's also understood there were six people in the car at the time
0:22:14 > 0:22:16which is designed to take a maximum of five passengers.
0:22:16 > 0:22:23The one survivor, aged 15, was arrested on Saturday night.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26He remains in custody as the families of those who died
0:22:26 > 0:22:34struggled to deal with the aftermath.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Six former British soldiers, who've been in prison in India
0:22:36 > 0:22:38since 2013 are to be released.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40The so called "Chennai Six" were arrested along with 29
0:22:40 > 0:22:42others on weapons charges, while working as security guards
0:22:42 > 0:22:45on ships in the Indian Ocean.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Their families are now waiting to hear when they'll
0:22:47 > 0:22:51be returning home.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53More than 100,000 people have been ordered
0:22:53 > 0:22:55to leave their homes, after warnings that Mount Agung
0:22:55 > 0:22:59on the island of Bali could erupt at any moment.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01The international airport has already been closed,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and officials say people will be forced to evacuate
0:23:03 > 0:23:04the area if necessary.
0:23:04 > 0:23:12Tom Burridge has the story.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14A giant cloud of rocks, glass, crystal and gas spews out
0:23:14 > 0:23:20of Bali's tallest volcano.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Life near Mount Agung goes on, even as the authorities
0:23:23 > 0:23:28urge locals to leave.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The hope - that there won't be the death and destruction wrought
0:23:31 > 0:23:35by the volcano last time around.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39That was in 1963.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41In a country with a history of volcanic eruptions,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44this was one of the worst.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47More than 1,000 died.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51The orange glow today, magma visible at the top of the volcano.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53A clue that a full-scale eruption could come soon.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58As the magma has moved up through the volcano,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00it's heated water inside, creating steam and pressure,
0:24:00 > 0:24:07hurling fragments of rock thousands of metres into the air.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12In villages, some have no choice but to stay put.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17"I'm scared but I don't have the money to leave," says this woman.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20But some tourists are still there, as even experts struggle to predict
0:24:20 > 0:24:21what this volcano will do next.
0:24:21 > 0:24:31Tom Burridge, BBC News.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35England have lost the first Ashes Test
0:24:35 > 0:24:36in Brisbane by 10 wickets.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Australia needed just 56 runs to win on the final day
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and reached that target in a little more than an hour.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The second match in the series starts on Saturday in Adelaide.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46We'll be rejoining Fiona at Kensington Palace in a moment,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49but first, time for a look at the weather,
0:24:49 > 0:24:50and Chris Fawkes is here.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Our weather will be turning colder over the next few days, but it was a
0:24:58 > 0:25:03glorious end to the day in Scotland. This picture shows the setting sun
0:25:03 > 0:25:08over the skies in Fife. Cold enough for snow to be on the ground in
0:25:08 > 0:25:12parts of Scotland, and Glencoe have announced they will start the skiing
0:25:12 > 0:25:17season tomorrow. On the satellite picture today we have had cloud for
0:25:17 > 0:25:22England and Wales, shower clouds rattling into the north and west and
0:25:22 > 0:25:25overnight there will be rain affecting parts of southern England
0:25:25 > 0:25:29for a time. The rest of the UK will have showers driven in by blustery
0:25:29 > 0:25:34winds. Overnight temperatures down into the low single figures but
0:25:34 > 0:25:38potentially it could turn icy in Northern Ireland and Scotland. The
0:25:38 > 0:25:42weather will stay on the cold side for the next few days because of
0:25:42 > 0:25:47this ridge of high pressure in the Atlantic and out over Greenland as
0:25:47 > 0:25:53well which is stopping milder Atlantic air reaching our shores.
0:25:53 > 0:26:00Instead we have cold air with us and temperatures will be dropping down,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04temperatures in Sheffield round about three Celsius, 5 degrees lower
0:26:04 > 0:26:10than the average for the time of year. Foremost there will be plenty
0:26:10 > 0:26:14of sunshine, with blustery showers across western areas and as winds
0:26:14 > 0:26:18turn to a more northerly direction, we will start to drag showers in
0:26:18 > 0:26:21from the North Sea across the eastern side of Scotland and the
0:26:21 > 0:26:27eastern coast of England as well. A cold day. Through both Wednesday and
0:26:27 > 0:26:34Thursday we will have showers around the Irish Sea coast, showers too by
0:26:34 > 0:26:39the North Sea and it will feel colder with temperatures between
0:26:39 > 0:26:42three and seven Celsius. That's the latest weather but we are going to
0:26:42 > 0:26:46go back to Kensington Palace to reflect on today's big news with
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Fiona.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53We're at Kensington Palace, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
0:26:53 > 0:26:55appeared earlier, announcing their engagement and where
0:26:55 > 0:26:57the couple will live after their wedding next spring.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59They revealed how Harry got down on one knee to propose,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01and she had no hesitation in saying yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Among wellwishers around the world, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
0:27:04 > 0:27:05say they are delighted.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08In a moment we'll have all the news from where you are
0:27:08 > 0:27:10but first let's take a look at some of the key images of the day...
0:27:18 > 0:27:23When I walked into that room and saw her, there she was sitting there, I
0:27:23 > 0:27:31thought OK, I'm going to have to up my game!Just an amazing surprise.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee. I
0:27:37 > 0:27:43could barely let you finish proposing!She didn't let me finish!
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Have you heard, there is breaking news out of London this morning.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Prince Harry and American Meghan Markle are engaged to be married.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58It's fantastic, marvellous.We wanted to come and see.Wonderful
0:27:58 > 0:28:02news, I think it is great. Another royal wedding, something to look
0:28:02 > 0:28:06forward to.Thrills, thank you,
