The big day is going to be in the next year. We spoke to the happy couple. This is them and falling in love in the spotlight that comes with both of their lives. We were hit so hard at their lives. We were hit so hard at the beginning with a lot of missed troops. I made the choice to not read anything, positive or negative we were hit with all of the mistruths. We focused our energy on our relationship, and asked. Some of that scrutiny was centred around your ethnicity. When you realise that what did you think . Of course its disheartening. Its a shame that that is the climate, in this world, to focus on that, or be discriminatory in that sense. But i think, at the end of the day, im reallyjust proud of who i am and where i come from, and we have never put any focus on that. Weve just focused on who we are as a couple, and so, when you take all those extra layers away, and all of that noise, i think it makes it really easy to just enjoy being together, and tune all the rest of that out. Now that it is all official, prince harry, do you have that sense that the combination of the two of you and your different backgrounds, that you together represent something new for the royal family . I dont know if its something new. For me, its an added member of the family. Its another team player as part of the bigger team. For all of us, all we want to do is be able to carry out the right engagements, carry out our work, and try we hope to. Over time. To many of you Meghan Markle will need no introduction.

The tag line said women all over america are fighting greasy pots and pans. Two boys in my class said thats where women belong, in the kitchen. I remember feeling thats where women belong, in the kitchen. I rememberfeeling shocked and angry, and also feeling so hurt. It just wasnt right and and angry, and also feeling so hurt. Itjust wasnt right and something needed to be done. Ill play you an extended part of the interview with Meghan Markle and prince harry in about 25 minutes. Lets turn to to some of the other main stories. Well begin in indonesia because more than 100,000 People Living near a volcano in bali have been told to move. You can see mount agung on the east of bali, it is indonesias largest volcano. Here are some of the pictures that have come in today. This smoke and ash is being fired four kilometres into the. Some activity has been going on for at least two months. If you look closely at these pictures you can see magma is visible. But may mean that a full eruption could come soon. That a full eruption could come soon. The alert has been raised to the highest level the authorities have accessed. I also wanted to show you these pictures from 1963. Thats the last time that the volcano erupted. At that time over 1000 people were killed by the eruption. The exclusion zone around the volcano has been extended to ten commenters. Ten kilometres. Volcano has been extended to ten commenters. Ten kilometres. In the last two days, well, yesterday i was wearing a mask and goggles. Today its been largely better because its been raining which has dampened down the volcanic ash. Translation there are concerns among the villagers. We tried to go to your evacuation centres, maybe this afternoon, but we also need to stay here to feed our livestock. Yes lam scared stay here to feed our livestock. Yes i am scared but i have to stay because i dont have any money. If i had it i would leave. Some of the locals. Bali is also a big tourist destination. Its airport has been shot which means 50,000 people are stranded. This is what weve got on the flight radar website. There is the flight radar website. There is the ash cloud. These flags are making a sharp west turn. They cant come into bali at the moment. Weve been following the story. Heres the latest. Predicting what a volcano will do next is a falls game. It is possible this is a low skill eruption over a longer period of time. Weve had activity for two months ever since tiny tremors were detected from the volcano. What happened recently is that magma can be spotted near the top of the volcano. That is a clue for scientists that a larger scale eruption could be coming soon. Whats been happening is the magma has been moving up through the volcano, heating water inside, creating steam which in turn creates pressure. That pressure is forcing that huge plume of rock and ash thousands of metres up into the air. The authorities cant take any of chances. They are trying to evacuate 100,000 people from the local area. Some people in villages around the volcano are staying put. They closed the local airport. A lot of people are stranded, tourists and locals, thousands of journeys ultimately are stranded, tourists and locals, thousands ofjourneys ultimately are disrupted. The priority for the authorities and bali is to make sure there isnt the death and destruction that happened the last time it erupted. In us politics, first lets talk about the longest serving member of the us congress. Hes a democrat and he stepped aside from a senior congressional position because of allegations of Sexual Misconduct. He accused of firing a former staffer because she refused his sexual advances. He tweeted earlier that he denies the allegations, many of which were raised by documents apparently paid for by a partisan right wing blogger. That story follows on from a couple of weeks back when the democratic senator al franken was accused of Sexual Misconduct by four women. Hes not spoken about those allegations for the first time. He has now spoken about these allegations. I know that i let a lot of people down, people in minnesota, my colleagues, my staff, my supporters, and everyone who has counted on me to stand up for women. To all of you i want to again say i am sorry. That clip will no doubt have been watched byjust about eve ryo ne have been watched byjust about everyone gathering in iowa for the 2017 Iowa Democratic party gala. I guess these repeated stories about Sexual Harassment inevitably are seizing the agenda. Definitely is something people have been talking about a considerable amount. Democrats trying to figure out where to go on this because members of their own party have been swept up in the allegations. Donald trump himself was accused of Sexual Harassment during the campaign. I think democrats are trying to pick up think democrats are trying to pick up the pieces. They lost control of the state government, they are trying to find a way to go forward and make inroads in this republican majority, not only here but across the country. Is it frustrating to democrats that they are not making more political progress, given the trouble is that donald trump has had . I think they understand that they dont control power in washington or here in iowa right now. Theres only so much they can do to slow down the republicans. Theres a certain amount of optimism based on Election Results in virginia for instance. They might be looking at big wins in mid term elections in 2018 but they understand they have a long way to go and they have been trying to come up go and they have been trying to come up with what message they need to come up with. Whether it is Bernie Sanders style populism or moderate approach to appeal to the middle class. They need more than being anti trump if they want to give a positive message to voters. Anti trump if they want to give a positive message to voterslj anti trump if they want to give a positive message to voters. I also wa nt to positive message to voters. I also want to ask you about this because in the last few minutes they clip as coming from donald trump speaking at an event in the oval office to mark the achievements of some native americans who served during the second world war. This is what the president said. Youre very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her poker pocahontas. But i like you but i like you. That was him referring to senator Elizabeth Warren as pocahontas. Why is that comment so controversial . This came up in 2012 when Elizabeth Warren was running for the senate. Apparently she listed Indian Heritage on her resume, it was listed on her harvard law directory when she was a professor there. It was turned into a Campaign Issue because apparently theres not much evidence she has an indian background. Donald trump has coined this pocahontas which has been considered a racist slur against Elizabeth Warren. Calling her pocahontas because she has these questionable assertions about her indian background. To hear him say this again in this context standing next to native americans at an event honouring them is pretty remarkable. Donald trump has had run ins with the native americans in the past when he was a casino owner. In Atlantic City he had some legal fights with native american casino operators in the area. There maybe more background context of the stand justified with Elizabeth Warren. More background than just the disagreement with Elizabeth Warren. Scientists are claiming overfishing and pollution are badly damaging the ecosystem in la ke are badly damaging the ecosystem in Lake Victoria. In the uk the government has been accused of keeping parliament in the dark after handing over edited versions on the analysis of the potential actor brexit on sectors of the economy. The papers were passed to the cross Party Select Committee on exiting the eu. Here is david davis. The leader of the house accepted that it was binding and it was clear that these reports, unredacted in full, should be handed over. If it doesnt happen, arguably thatis over. If it doesnt happen, arguably that is content of the house that in the first instance we will obviously raise it in parliament to get a nswe rs raise it in parliament to get a nswers to raise it in parliament to get answers to these questions. For those of you watching in the uk, that was keir starmer, not david davis, i do know the difference between the two, sorry about that. This is 0utside source, our lead story, prince harry and Meghan Markle have announced their engagement, news has gone around the world, the wedding will be in spring of next year. And other stories for bbc world service. American Tobacco Companies have been forced to run a series of Television Adverts detailing the deadly effects of smoking. 0ne says that smoking kills on average more than 1000 americans per day, more than murder, aids, suicide, drugs, car crashes and alcohol combined. And this skeleton ofa alcohol combined. And this skeleton of a mammoth which is more than five metres long has gone on display in france. It will be sold. It is more than 15,000 years old, it is estimated at more than half 1 million worth. Iraqi forces are trying to drive Islamic State out of the Western Desert of iraq. If we show you this graphic, the area in light pink is territory controlled by is in 2015 and the much smaller area in dark pink in the west of iraq and Eastern Syria is what is currently control. You can see how much that territory has contracted, thatis much that territory has contracted, that is because of military pressure applied to is and with that, some foreign fighters have decided to leave the Islamic State group, or at least their families have decided to leave. A look at the story of tanya, a british woman who moved to syria with her americanjihadist a british woman who moved to syria with her american jihadist husband but she very quickly opted to leave because of the circumstances in which she was living. She told her story to the bbc. My name is tanya, for a decade i was an islamic extremist. My ex husband became a leading member of the Islamic State and now i am hoping to come to his ideology. Womack in the late 1990s, she went to high school here in harrow, a middle class suburb. She went to high school here in harrow, a middle class suburblj grew up here and went to schooljust down the road. I didnt know her at the time that knew many people who did, they described her as a normal teenager, she sometimes had boyfriends and played truant from school, she wasnt known to be particularly religious or politically engaged. So when did it all change . I turned to religion in my life when i was 17. Ijust wanted to change my identity. I didnt want to be tania from harrow any more. I wanted to be someone pious, someone that people didnt call a tart. So it gave me structure in my life that i needed and helped me feel like i belonged somewhere. In her late teens and early 20s, tania mixed with various radical groups in london. They changed the way she looked at the world. 0ur minds were being filled with these images, terrible, disturbing images. They would give examples of what happened in srebrenica and bosnia. We were made to feel this shared sense of guilt because were a community and it was our duty to do something. And that something was jihad. In 2003, she married john georgelas, an american convert she had met online. Over the next eight years, they lived across the uk, the us and the middle east. By the time they reached syria in 2013, tania was pregnant with their fourth child. I stayed in abandoned homes by ex military. The windows had been blown out and every single night, i had become accustomed to hearing gunfire. By this point, tanya said she had started to question the life ofjihad. She wanted to take the children back to america. After three weeks in syria, she pleaded with john to let them escape. He agreed. There were bullets, like snipers, on these towers, shooting, and we could see the bullets flying everywhere. I remember putting my kids through the barbed wire and the syrian refugees, they were just guys, they were helping us as much as they could. I put the stroller in and thenjohn passed me another baby. It was so scary. John remained in syria and went on to join the so called Islamic State. Until earlier this year, the Group Controlled vast areas of syria and iraq, where it implemented brutal rule and killed thousands. Tania says she hasnt heard from john in over a year, and doesnt know if hes alive or dead. The last thing he told me, the last message, was that he apologises for the wrong that hes done to me and the children, and that if i dont hearfrom him in six months, its most likely because hes dead because he has to fight, because the fight is drawing closer to where he lives. Tania now lives in the United States. Her children are looked after byjohns parents and seem well adjusted to american life. Why should they give you a Second Chance . I think because i realised i was wrong and made a mistake. I really wa nt was wrong and made a mistake. I really want to make up for my mistakes. She says shes turned her back on extremism in order to use her experiences to deter others from making the same mistakes. If you were to meet a woman who was thinking about going down the same path that you once took, what would you say to her . I would say, i lost my family, i lost my home, i lost ten years of my life that i should have been, you know, working towards an education and my career. I have four children who dont have a dad now. Is this the situation you want to be in . If you want to see that report, it has been on the most watched list on the bbc news apple day long.
