Prince Harry and his

American girlfriend

0:00:060:00:10

Meghan Markle are engaged -

there'll be a royal

0:00:100:00:12

wedding in the spring.

0:00:120:00:17

The couple appeared together here

at Kensington Palace this afternoon.

0:00:170:00:19

They revealed they got engaged

in secret earlier this month.

0:00:190:00:23

It was so sweet and natural

and very romantic.

0:00:230:00:26

He got on one knee.

0:00:260:00:32

Was it an instant "yes"?

0:00:320:00:34

Yes, as a matter of fact I could

barely let you finish proposing,

0:00:340:00:37

I was like, "Can I say yes?"

0:00:370:00:39

She said "Can I say yes?", then

there was hugs and I had the ring,

0:00:390:00:43

and I was like, "Can

I give you the ring?"

0:00:430:00:45

and she was like,

"Oh, yes the ring!"

0:00:450:00:47

The couple had only

officially appeared together

0:00:470:00:49

in public once before.

0:00:490:00:50

Harry said he knew Meghan was

the one from the moment he met her.

0:00:500:00:53

Absolutely wonderful.

0:00:530:00:54

I think it's great.

0:00:540:00:55

Another royal wedding,

something to look forward to,

0:00:550:00:57

in times of trouble.

0:00:570:01:02

Also on tonight's programme...

Police say the five victims

of a fatal car crash

0:01:130:01:15

in Leeds at the weekend

were all in the vehicle

0:01:150:01:17

when it hit a tree.

0:01:170:01:23

0:01:340:01:42

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six.

0:02:010:02:08

We're at Kensington Palace.

0:02:080:02:11

It has just begun to snow.

0:02:110:02:14

It's home to Prince Harry

0:02:140:02:15

and where he will be joined

in married life by the American

0:02:150:02:18

actress Megan Markle.

0:02:180:02:19

The couple were engaged

in secret earlier this month,

0:02:190:02:21

announced it to the world today

and say their wedding will take

0:02:210:02:24

place in the spring.

0:02:240:02:25

The couple revealed how they had

been cooking roast chicken at home

0:02:250:02:28

when Harry got down on one

knee to propose.

0:02:280:02:30

Meghan said she had had no

hesitation in saying yes.

0:02:300:02:33

Harry said the stars had aligned

to bring them together.

0:02:330:02:35

Among wellwishers around the world,

the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

0:02:350:02:38

say they are "delighted"

and Prince Charles has

0:02:380:02:40

declared himself thrilled.

0:02:400:02:42

Our first report tonight

on the royal engagement,

0:02:420:02:44

from our royal correspondent

Nicholas Witchell.

0:02:440:02:45

Finally it's official,

they are engaged to be married.

0:02:450:02:49

Prince Harry, fifth in line

to the British throne,

0:02:490:02:54

and Meghan Markle, an American,

an actress, a divorcee.

0:02:540:02:58

And, as she has put it herself,

a woman who's proud

0:02:580:03:00

of her mixed-race heritage.

0:03:000:03:01

Her mother is an African-American.

0:03:010:03:03

Seldom can a Royal wedding have

indicated so clearly

0:03:030:03:06

how times have changed.

0:03:060:03:09

How are you both feeling?

0:03:090:03:12

Thrilled.

0:03:120:03:15

And we're very glad it's

not raining as well.

0:03:150:03:19

Harry was asked when he realised

Meghan was the one.

0:03:190:03:22

The very first time we met.

0:03:220:03:24

Meghan, can you show

us the ring, please?

0:03:240:03:27

Ah yes, the ring.

0:03:270:03:31

Designed, it turns out, by Harry,

and including two diamonds

0:03:310:03:33

owned by his late mother.

0:03:330:03:34

Harry and Meghan.

0:03:340:03:35

He 33, she 36.

0:03:350:03:40

A happy couple who met 18 months ago

and who are now starting to plan

0:03:400:03:45

a wedding, which will

take place next spring.

0:03:450:03:47

Later, in an interview

with the BBC's Mishal Husain,

0:03:470:03:52

the couple talked about the moment,

earlier this month,

0:03:520:03:54

when Harry proposed.

0:03:540:03:55

Just an amazing surprise.

0:03:550:03:56

It was so sweet and natural,

and very romantic.

0:03:560:03:59

He got on one knee.

0:03:590:04:01

Of course.

0:04:010:04:02

Was it an instant yes from you?

0:04:020:04:04

Yes, as a matter of fact I could

barely let you finish proposing!

0:04:040:04:08

I was like, can I say yes now?

0:04:080:04:10

She didn't even let me finish.

0:04:100:04:11

Then there was hugs and I had

the ring in my finger.

0:04:110:04:14

I said, "Can I give you the ring?"

0:04:140:04:16

She said, "Oh yes, the ring!"

0:04:160:04:18

So it was really nice moment, just

the two of us and I think I managed

0:04:180:04:21

to catch her by surprise as well.

0:04:210:04:23

Yeah.

0:04:230:04:24

And Harry spoke of the instant

impact Meghan had had on him.

0:04:240:04:30

The fact that I fell in love

with Meghan so incredibly quickly

0:04:310:04:34

was sort of confirmation

to me that everything,

0:04:340:04:42

all the stars are aligned,

everything was perfect.

0:04:420:04:45

This beautiful woman,

just literally tripped

0:04:450:04:46

and fell into my life.

0:04:460:04:48

I fell into her life,

and the fact that she...

0:04:480:04:51

I know the fact that she will be

really unbelievably good at the job

0:04:510:04:54

part of it as well is obviously

a huge relief to me

0:04:540:04:57

because she will be able to deal

with everything else

0:04:570:04:59

that comes with it.

0:04:590:05:01

Within the royal family,

there is, as you'd expect,

0:05:010:05:03

great happiness at the news.

0:05:030:05:05

The Queen was delighted,

as was Harry's father,

0:05:050:05:07

the Prince of Wales.

0:05:070:05:08

We're thrilled, thank you very

much, for both of them.

0:05:080:05:11

I hope they'll be very happy

indeed, is all I can say.

0:05:110:05:14

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

tweeted their excitement

0:05:140:05:16

for the couple, saying it had been

wonderful to getting to know Meghan

0:05:160:05:19

and to see how happy

the couple were together.

0:05:190:05:24

So now, next spring, there will be

a double Royal celebration -

0:05:240:05:28

another baby for William

and Catherine, and a wedding

0:05:280:05:31

in a so far unidentified church

for Harry and his bride,

0:05:310:05:35

Meghan Markle.

0:05:350:05:36

Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

0:05:360:05:43

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began

dating last summer and just a year

0:05:430:05:53

and a half on,

news of their coming wedding has

0:05:530:05:56

raced around the world.

0:05:560:05:57

Earlier today they spoke

publicly for the first time

0:05:570:05:59

about their engagement

in an interview, with my

0:05:590:06:01

colleague Mishal Husain.

0:06:010:06:02

How did you first meet?

We were

introduced by a mutual friend.

We

0:06:020:06:05

should protect her privacy and not

too much of that.

It was literally

0:06:050:06:11

threw her and then we met once or

twice back to dates in London last

0:06:110:06:17

July.

Yes.

Beginning of July. And

then it was three or four weeks

0:06:170:06:25

later that I managed to persuade her

to come and join me in Botswana and

0:06:250:06:32

we camped out with each other under

the stars and we spent five days out

0:06:320:06:37

there which was fantastic. Then we

were really by ourselves, which was

0:06:370:06:43

crucial to me to make sure we had a

chance to get to know each other.

0:06:430:06:46

The friend to introduce juke was she

trying to set you up?

It was

0:06:460:06:50

definitely a setup!

-- the friend

who introduced you.

We talk about it

0:06:500:06:57

now, because I'm from the States, we

don't grow up with the same

0:06:570:07:01

understanding of the Royal family

and so while I understand now very

0:07:010:07:06

clearly there is a global interest

there, I didn't know much about him

0:07:060:07:10

and so the only thing I asked her

when she said she wanted to set us

0:07:100:07:14

up, one question, was he nice?

Because if he wasn't kind, it didn't

0:07:140:07:19

seem to make sense.

In the case of

your relationship, unlike many

0:07:190:07:24

people, there's a layer of what it

means to get involved with someone

0:07:240:07:27

the Royal family. How much of a

sense did you have of the enormity

0:07:270:07:31

of what you be getting into and what

it would mean for your life?

As

0:07:310:07:38

naive as it sounds now, having gone

through this learning curve over the

0:07:380:07:41

last year and a half, I didn't have

any understanding of what it would

0:07:410:07:45

be like. I think we both said that.

No, I tried to warn her as much as

0:07:450:07:52

possible but I think both of us were

totally surprised by the reaction

0:07:520:07:58

after the first five or six months

we had to ourselves of what happened

0:07:580:08:01

from then. I think you can have as

many conversations as you'd like and

0:08:010:08:07

prepare as much as possible but we

were totally unprepared for what

0:08:070:08:10

happened.

The scrutiny?

Well, all

sorts.

And also, there's a

0:08:100:08:19

misconception that because I've

worked in the entertainment industry

0:08:190:08:21

that this would be something I'd be

familiar with but even though I've

0:08:210:08:24

been on my show for six years at

that point, and working before that,

0:08:240:08:29

I've never been part of tabloid

culture, pop culture to that degree

0:08:290:08:35

and had lived a relatively quiet

life even though I focused so much

0:08:350:08:38

on my job. So that was a really

stark difference out of the gate.

0:08:380:08:45

And we were hit so hard with a lot

of untruths that I made the choice

0:08:450:08:51

not to read anything, positive or

negative, instead we focus our

0:08:510:08:56

energies on nurturing our

relationship.

On us.

On us.

Some of

0:08:560:09:01

that scrutiny, you made a public

statement about it, some of the

0:09:010:09:05

scrutiny was centred around your

ethnicity, I think. When you realise

0:09:050:09:09

that, what did you think?

Of course

it's disheartening. It's a shame

0:09:090:09:14

that that is the climate in this

world, to focus that much which

0:09:140:09:19

would be discriminatory in that

sense but at the end of the day I'm

0:09:190:09:26

really proud of where I am and where

I come from. We have never put any

0:09:260:09:31

focus on that, we've just focused on

who we are as a couple. When you

0:09:310:09:36

take those extra layers away, all of

that noise, I think it makes it

0:09:360:09:39

really easy to just enjoy being

together and tune the rest of it

0:09:390:09:45

out.

What was it like introducing

Meghan to your father and your

0:09:450:09:49

brother?

Erm... What was it like?

Exciting. I've been saying it for a

0:09:490:09:59

period of time I didn't tell anybody

at all. And then William was longing

0:09:590:10:03

to meet her and so was Catherine. We

will be neighbours, we got that in a

0:10:030:10:11

couple of times and Catherine has

been absolutely amazing, as has

0:10:110:10:17

William, fantastic support. My

father as well, we had a handful of

0:10:170:10:21

teas and meetings and all sorts of

gatherings at his place as well. The

0:10:210:10:29

family together have been absolutely

solid support.

And you met the

0:10:290:10:32

Queen?

Yes, I have a couple of

times.

What's that like?

It's

0:10:320:10:40

incredible. First, to be able to

meet her, through his lens, not just

0:10:400:10:45

with his honour and respect for her

as the monarch but the love he has

0:10:450:10:49

for her as his grandmother, those

layers have been important for me so

0:10:490:10:55

when I met her I had a deep

understanding and of course

0:10:550:10:59

incredible respect for having that

time with her. We've had a really...

0:10:590:11:04

She's an incredible woman.

The last

33 years of being barked at, this

0:11:040:11:12

one, walking in, the corgis.

Tell us

about the ring.

It is yellow gold

0:11:120:11:25

and the main stone is from Tswana

and the diamonds either side are

0:11:250:11:32

from my mother's jewellery

collection. She's on this crazy

0:11:320:11:40

journey together.

It's beautiful and

he designed it. It's incredible.

0:11:400:11:45

Yeah. Make sure it stays on that

finger.

Of course!

What does it mean

0:11:450:11:51

to you, Meghan, to have those stones

on your finger that once belonged to

0:11:510:11:55

Princess Diana?

I think everything

about Harry's thoughtfulness and the

0:11:550:12:01

inclusion of that and obviously not

being able to meet his mum, it's so

0:12:010:12:07

important for me to know that she's

a part of this with us.

What do you

0:12:070:12:11

think your mother would have thought

of Meghan and said about her?

She'd

0:12:110:12:17

say we are as thick as thieves!

Without question, she'd be over the

0:12:170:12:23

moon, jumping up and down, so

excited for me. But then, we've been

0:12:230:12:29

best friends. It is days like today

when I really miss her being around

0:12:290:12:34

and being able to show her the happy

news but with the ring and

0:12:340:12:39

everything else going on I'm sure

she is with us and jumping up and

0:12:390:12:43

down somewhere else.

Rinse Harry,

Meghan Markle, thank you both ferry

0:12:430:12:48

much.

Thank you so much -- Prince

Harry.

0:12:480:12:55

And there will be more from Mishal's

interview with Prince Harry

0:12:550:12:57

and Megan Markle on the One Show -

that's on BBC One at 7:00pm.

0:12:570:13:01

And on the BBC website

at bbc.co.uk/news.

0:13:010:13:02

So what do we know

about the Meghan Markle?

0:13:020:13:04

Well, she is 36, divorced

and describes herself as a "strong,

0:13:040:13:07

confident, mixed-raced woman".

0:13:070:13:08

She grew up in Los Angeles

and until she met Prince Harry

0:13:080:13:11

was best known for playing

Rachel Zane in the US

0:13:110:13:14

TV drama Suits.

0:13:140:13:15

She's also campaigned for gender

equality and a variety

0:13:150:13:17

of humanitarian causes.

0:13:170:13:20

Our Royal correspondent

Daniella Relph has been finding out

0:13:200:13:22

more about Megan Markle,

and speaking to her friends.

0:13:220:13:25

Have you heard?

0:13:250:13:28

There is breaking news out

of London this morning.

0:13:280:13:31

Drum roll, please.

0:13:310:13:33

Prince Harry and American

actress Meghan Markle

0:13:330:13:34

are engaged - yay!

0:13:340:13:35

Congratulations, Harry and Meghan.

0:13:350:13:36

We don't know you,

but congratulations!

0:13:360:13:40

But we will all get to know

Meghan Markle much better

0:13:400:13:42

over the next few months.

0:13:420:13:44

She is no ordinary royal fiancee.

0:13:440:13:49

Her early acting career

was made up of small

0:13:490:13:52

television and film

parts and adverts.

0:13:520:13:55

There was also a stint

opening the boxes

0:13:550:13:57

on the TV programme Deal Or No Deal.

0:13:570:14:02

It's Meghan Markle!

0:14:020:14:06

Wow, you're pretty.

0:14:060:14:07

Good, you've hit on me.

0:14:070:14:08

We can get it out of the way

that I am not interested.

0:14:080:14:11

No, I'm sorry...

0:14:110:14:12

Before her big break

in the legal drama Suits.

0:14:120:14:14

But she sometimes took

issue with the way her character,

0:14:140:14:17

Rachel Zane, was portrayed.

0:14:170:14:17

This season, every script seemed

to begin with

0:14:170:14:19

"Rachel enters wearing a towel."

0:14:190:14:21

And I said, "Nope, not

doing it any more."

0:14:210:14:23

Not doing it, and I called

the creator and I was like,

0:14:230:14:26

"It's just gratuitous."

0:14:260:14:28

We get it, you've

already seen it once,

0:14:280:14:30

so I think that at a certain point,

0:14:300:14:32

you feel empowered enough

to just say no.

0:14:320:14:37

Meghan Markle will bring

something different

0:14:370:14:40

to the British Royal family.

0:14:400:14:43

Born and brought up here

in United States, she is a

0:14:430:14:46

proud American but she's also

a campaigner with strong

0:14:460:14:49

opinions and, if possible,

she won't want her marriage

0:14:490:14:51

to limit that side her life.

0:14:510:14:57

Her humanitarian work

has taken her around the world,

0:14:570:15:01

here in Rwanda.

0:15:010:15:03

She's focused

on gender equality.

0:15:030:15:09

Particularly as an advocate for

United Nations women.

It's really

0:15:090:15:13

hands-on, being part of this. It

feels really nice.

I think her

0:15:130:15:21

passion for other people and wanting

to create social change is

0:15:210:15:23

something, with that platform, can

only be positive. I bet she'll be

0:15:230:15:29

fine, she'll be great in fact!

Meghan Markle grew up in this

0:15:290:15:36

affluent neighbourhood of Los

Angeles and went to a private

0:15:360:15:41

Catholic school. She's mixed race,

the daughter of divorced parents.

0:15:410:15:44

Her mother, yoga teacher and her

father, a TV and lighting director.

0:15:440:15:50

In the early days of her

relationship with Prince Harry some

0:15:500:15:52

of the media coverage and settled

them, Prince Harry releasing a

0:15:520:15:56

statement suggesting coverage had

racial undertones.

It felt racist to

0:15:560:16:04

me, like there was an attempt to

make her seem like an outsider. So

0:16:040:16:09

yeah that was pretty startling.

This

will be a whole new world for Meghan

0:16:090:16:14

Markle. Swapping the small screen

for a far bigger stage.

0:16:140:16:24

And Daniela is with me here.

0:16:240:16:29

Meghan is a very new proposition

for the royal family.

0:16:290:16:35

What impact do you think she will

have on the Royal family?

There is

0:16:350:16:41

going to be that sort of American

sensibility about her I think, that

0:16:410:16:45

will mean she brings something

different. She's not a traditional

0:16:450:16:50

royal bride. Prince Harry has chosen

someone who hasn't been drawn from

0:16:500:16:54

one of these grand aristocratic

families. She has a very different

0:16:540:16:58

background and a different type of

interest and I think that will show

0:16:580:17:01

in the kind of work they do. During

that interview there was a constant

0:17:010:17:06

reference to the word team and

there's a sense they both have a

0:17:060:17:09

clear vision of the work

0:17:090:17:19

they can do together and the changes

they want to make.

What also struck

0:17:210:17:24

me about the interview was how at

ease she seemed but nonetheless

0:17:240:17:26

challengers will lie ahead for her,

went there?

Yes, she was very

0:17:260:17:29

articulate and you could sense that,

and she was at ease with herself and

0:17:290:17:32

they were at ease with one another.

It's interesting that she said

0:17:320:17:35

people said to her you are an

actress, you will cope with this

0:17:350:17:38

fine. She is nervous about what lies

ahead. Prince Harry said he warned

0:17:380:17:43

her of the perils of royal life and

the downsides of it. My sense is

0:17:430:17:48

talking to people that work with her

and her friends is she will probably

0:17:480:17:52

just just fine to being a member of

the Royal family.

0:17:520:17:56

I'll have more from Kensington

Palace later in the programme,

0:17:560:17:59

but for now, with the rest

of the day's news, it's back

0:17:590:18:02

to Clive in the studio.

0:18:020:18:04

Many thanks for that.

0:18:040:18:06

Two pharmaceutical companies,

say they'll invest more

0:18:060:18:08

than a billion pounds in the UK,

creating hundreds of new jobs

0:18:080:18:11

in London and Manchester.

0:18:110:18:12

It comes as the government unveiled

its industrial strategy today,

0:18:120:18:14

designed to boost productivity

and attract investment in areas such

0:18:140:18:17

as artificial intelligence,

driverless cars and clean energy.

0:18:170:18:18

Here's our Business

Editor Simon Jack.

0:18:180:18:24

Investing in new drugs is just

the kind of medicine the economy

0:18:240:18:27

needs after the bleak diagnosis

of slowing growth and poor

0:18:270:18:30

productivity it received last week.

0:18:300:18:33

The Government's plan

to incentivise investment arrives

0:18:330:18:35

at a time when businesses are wary

of Brexit uncertainty.

0:18:350:18:41

We are the place that is going to be

able to take a lead in these

0:18:410:18:44

new industries of the future.

0:18:440:18:46

At a time when companies

are making investments,

0:18:460:18:51

and in the context of Brexit,

to set that out with a clarity

0:18:510:18:54

that we have I think

is all the more important.

0:18:540:18:56

The way it's supposed

to work is basically this.

0:18:560:19:00

The Government invest money

in research and development.

0:19:000:19:04

Academic institutions work

in partnership with business

0:19:040:19:06

to provide skills and know-how.

0:19:060:19:07

The Government provide test-beds

for new products like faster trials

0:19:070:19:10

of new drugs or public roads

for driverless cars, and hey presto,

0:19:100:19:13

private companies invest.

0:19:130:19:17

This gene therapy company

in Oxford likes the approach.

0:19:170:19:21

This new strategy is very important

for a business like ours.

0:19:210:19:24

It allows us to look at what we can

work on in the future,

0:19:240:19:27

look at the grants we can get

to help us expand the business

0:19:270:19:30

and make our processes better,

to keep us at the leading edge

0:19:300:19:33

of our science.

0:19:330:19:34

It's perhaps no surprise

the Government chose life sciences

0:19:340:19:36

to be the poster child

for its new industrial strategy.

0:19:360:19:39

These are highly skilled,

highly productive jobs,

0:19:390:19:40

in an industry which seems to have

no problem attracting investment.

0:19:400:19:44

Most of the UK economy

is not like this.

0:19:440:19:47

The Government's challenge will be

to increase productivity in areas

0:19:470:19:49

of the economy where workers

are more likely to drive white vans

0:19:490:19:52

than wear white coats.

0:19:520:19:55

Most people work in

what we sometimes call

0:19:550:19:57

the everyday economy,

so shops, care homes,

0:19:570:19:58

public services as well.

0:19:580:20:01

We think in order to boost that

earning power, which is

0:20:010:20:03

what the Secretary of State wanted

to do, we need a strategy that

0:20:030:20:07

takes them into account.

0:20:070:20:11

Government intervention in industry

has a chequered history

0:20:110:20:13

with memories of money being poured

into failing companies,

0:20:130:20:15

but even opposition parties

0:20:150:20:16

now agree the Government does

have a role, and a problem.

0:20:160:20:20

You're getting business

and government working together

0:20:200:20:21

and trying to think long-term

and that must be right,

0:20:210:20:24

but the problem the Government's

now got is that,

0:20:240:20:26

because of the Brexit negotiations,

companies don't know

0:20:260:20:28

where they stand so they are not

investing, or very few of them are.

0:20:280:20:34

Will the plan work?

0:20:340:20:35

Of the two companies who announced

investment today, one told

0:20:350:20:38

the BBC it would have done it

with or without the strategy

0:20:380:20:41

and the second said it

hadn't finalised the size

0:20:410:20:43

of its investment, but the life

sciences industry

0:20:430:20:45

broadly welcomed it.

0:20:450:20:47

There have been industrial

strategies before and you haven't

0:20:470:20:49

heard the last of this one.

0:20:490:20:51

Simon Jack, BBC News.

0:20:510:21:00

West Yorkshire Police say the five

victims of a fatal car crash

0:21:000:21:03

in Leeds over the weekend,

were all in the vehicle

0:21:030:21:06

when it hit a tree.

0:21:060:21:07

Two men and three boys died

in the incident on Saturday night

0:21:070:21:10

in the Meanwood area of the city.

0:21:100:21:11

Danny Savage reports.

0:21:110:21:12

The scene of Saturday

night's terrible crash

0:21:120:21:14

remains sealed off today.

0:21:140:21:16

The search for evidence to establish

how and why a stolen car

0:21:160:21:19

careered off a straight road.

0:21:190:21:20

The tree it hit is scarred,

0:21:200:21:22

as are some of the people

who were first on the scene.

0:21:220:21:30

When I arrived here in the early

hours of Sunday morning,

0:21:300:21:33

this was a catastrophic scene.

0:21:330:21:37

All the witnesses,

all the police officers,

0:21:370:21:39

all the emergency services

that were here would have seen

0:21:390:21:41

absolutely a scene of total carnage.

0:21:410:21:45

Named locally, the

youngest victims were

0:21:450:21:47

Ellis and Elliott Thornton, who were

brothers aged just 12 and 14.

0:21:470:21:55

Also in the car was

15-year-old Darnell Harte

0:21:550:21:57

along with 24-year-old

Robbie Meerun

0:21:570:21:59

and father of two

Anthoney Armour who was also 24.

0:21:590:22:05

The Renault Clio was stolen

and some of the people in it

0:22:050:22:08

were known to police.

0:22:080:22:11

It's also understood there were

six people in the car at the time

0:22:110:22:14

which is designed to take

a maximum of five passengers.

0:22:140:22:16

The one survivor, aged 15,

was arrested on Saturday night.

0:22:160:22:23

He remains in custody

as the families of those who died

0:22:230:22:26

struggled to deal

with the aftermath.

0:22:260:22:34

Six former British soldiers,

who've been in prison in India

0:22:340:22:36

since 2013 are to be released.

0:22:360:22:38

The so called "Chennai Six"

were arrested along with 29

0:22:380:22:40

others on weapons charges,

while working as security guards

0:22:400:22:42

on ships in the Indian Ocean.

0:22:420:22:45

Their families are now waiting

to hear when they'll

0:22:450:22:47

be returning home.

0:22:470:22:51

More than 100,000 people

have been ordered

0:22:510:22:53

to leave their homes,

after warnings that Mount Agung

0:22:530:22:55

on the island of Bali

could erupt at any moment.

0:22:550:22:59

The international airport has

already been closed,

0:22:590:23:01

and officials say people will be

forced to evacuate

0:23:010:23:03

the area if necessary.

0:23:030:23:04

Tom Burridge has the story.

0:23:040:23:12

A giant cloud of rocks, glass,

crystal and gas spews out

0:23:120:23:14

of Bali's tallest volcano.

0:23:140:23:20

Life near Mount Agung goes on,

even as the authorities

0:23:200:23:23

urge locals to leave.

0:23:230:23:28

The hope - that there won't be

the death and destruction wrought

0:23:280:23:31

by the volcano last time around.

0:23:310:23:35

That was in 1963.

0:23:370:23:39

In a country with a history

of volcanic eruptions,

0:23:390:23:41

this was one of the worst.

0:23:410:23:44

More than 1,000 died.

0:23:440:23:47

The orange glow today, magma visible

at the top of the volcano.

0:23:470:23:51

A clue that a full-scale

eruption could come soon.

0:23:510:23:53

As the magma has moved up

through the volcano,

0:23:560:23:58

it's heated water inside,

creating steam and pressure,

0:23:580:24:00

hurling fragments of rock thousands

of metres into the air.

0:24:000:24:07

In villages, some have no

choice but to stay put.

0:24:070:24:12

"I'm scared but I don't have the

money to leave," says this woman.

0:24:120:24:17

But some tourists are still there,

as even experts struggle to predict

0:24:170:24:20

what this volcano will do next.

0:24:200:24:21

Tom Burridge, BBC News.

0:24:210:24:31

England have lost

the first Ashes Test

0:24:330:24:35

in Brisbane by 10 wickets.

0:24:350:24:36

Australia needed just 56 runs

to win on the final day

0:24:360:24:39

and reached that target

in a little more than an hour.

0:24:390:24:41

The second match in the series

starts on Saturday in Adelaide.

0:24:410:24:44

We'll be rejoining Fiona

at Kensington Palace in a moment,

0:24:440:24:46

but first, time for

a look at the weather,

0:24:460:24:49

and Chris Fawkes is here.

0:24:490:24:50

Our weather will be turning colder

over the next few days, but it was a

0:24:540:24:58

glorious end to the day in Scotland.

This picture shows the setting sun

0:24:580:25:03

over the skies in Fife. Cold enough

for snow to be on the ground in

0:25:030:25:08

parts of Scotland, and Glencoe have

announced they will start the skiing

0:25:080:25:12

season tomorrow. On the satellite

picture today we have had cloud for

0:25:120:25:17

England and Wales, shower clouds

rattling into the north and west and

0:25:170:25:22

overnight there will be rain

affecting parts of southern England

0:25:220:25:25

for a time. The rest of the UK will

have showers driven in by blustery

0:25:250:25:29

winds. Overnight temperatures down

into the low single figures but

0:25:290:25:34

potentially it could turn icy in

Northern Ireland and Scotland. The

0:25:340:25:38

weather will stay on the cold side

for the next few days because of

0:25:380:25:42

this ridge of high pressure in the

Atlantic and out over Greenland as

0:25:420:25:47

well which is stopping milder

Atlantic air reaching our shores.

0:25:470:25:53

Instead we have cold air with us and

temperatures will be dropping down,

0:25:530:26:00

temperatures in Sheffield round

about three Celsius, 5 degrees lower

0:26:000:26:04

than the average for the time of

year. Foremost there will be plenty

0:26:040:26:10

of sunshine, with blustery showers

across western areas and as winds

0:26:100:26:14

turn to a more northerly direction,

we will start to drag showers in

0:26:140:26:18

from the North Sea across the

eastern side of Scotland and the

0:26:180:26:21

eastern coast of England as well. A

cold day. Through both Wednesday and

0:26:210:26:27

Thursday we will have showers around

the Irish Sea coast, showers too by

0:26:270:26:34

the North Sea and it will feel

colder with temperatures between

0:26:340:26:39

three and seven Celsius. That's the

latest weather but we are going to

0:26:390:26:42

go back to Kensington Palace to

reflect on today's big news with

0:26:420:26:46

Fiona.

0:26:460:26:48

We're at Kensington Palace,

where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

0:26:510:26:53

appeared earlier, announcing

their engagement and where

0:26:530:26:55

the couple will live

after their wedding next spring.

0:26:550:26:57

They revealed how Harry got down

on one knee to propose,

0:26:570:26:59

and she had no hesitation

in saying yes.

0:26:590:27:01

Among wellwishers around the world,

the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

0:27:010:27:04

say they are delighted.

0:27:040:27:05

In a moment we'll have

all the news from where you are

0:27:050:27:08

but first let's take a look at some

of the key images of the day...

0:27:080:27:10

When I walked into that room and saw

her, there she was sitting there, I

0:27:180:27:23

thought OK, I'm going to have to up

my game!

Just an amazing surprise.

0:27:230:27:31

It was so sweet and natural and very

romantic. He got on one knee. I

0:27:310:27:37

could barely let you finish

proposing!

She didn't let me finish!

0:27:370:27:43

Have you heard, there is breaking

news out of London this morning.

0:27:430:27:48

Prince Harry and American Meghan

Markle are engaged to be married.

0:27:480:27:52

It's fantastic, marvellous.

We

wanted to come and see.

Wonderful

0:27:520:27:58

news, I think it is great. Another

royal wedding, something to look

0:27:580:28:02

forward to.

Thrills, thank you,

0:28:020:28:06
