Prince William still feels betrayed by his estranged brother but faces living just 700 yards from him during the Coronation as their father hopes his crowning as King will help heal family divisions including with Prince Andrew, it was claimed today. William is said to have no plans to speak to the Duke of Sussex after his attacks on him, his wife and father in Spare and his Netflix documentary. Harry will have no formal role in the Coronation and also faces the cold shoulder from his family - apart from perhaps Beatrice and Eugenie. Charles is said to be very pleased his youngest son is coming and his mood is described as 'generally quite forgiving', however, the Prince of Wales is understood to still feel betrayed and angry, particularly by the revelations in the memoirs.

Seoul North Korea says it tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile - its "most powerful" missile to date. The state's Korean Central News Agency hailed Thursday's launch - which triggered a brief evacuation order in Japan - a "miraculous success". Solid-fuel missiles can be fired more quickly than liquid-fuel ones, making them harder to detect and intercept. The test would make rivals "suffer from extreme fear and anxiety", North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly said. South Korea on Friday said the technology displayed was not new and the North would need more time and effort to develop a fully functional solid-fuel ICBM.

Every year more than a billion people mark Earth Day by taking action to protect the planet. Earth Day 2023 is just a few weeks away, on Sunday 22 April. It was first celebrated in 1970 when a US senator from the state of Wisconsin organised a rally to raise awareness of environmental issues. Thousands of people took part in demonstrations across the country and by the end of the year, the US government had created the Environmental Protection Agency. Now it is celebrated in more than 190 different countries with people taking part in events organised by EARTHDAY.ORG. This year’s theme is Invest in Our Planet which includes a call to “act (boldly), innovate (broadly) and implement (equitably)”.

Approximately 18,000 cows were killed in a blast at a Texas dairy farm earlier this week, according to local authorities. The explosion, at South Fork Dairy near the town of Dimmitt, also left one person in critical condition. Authorities believe that machinery in the facility may have ignited methane gas. Nearly three million farm animals died in fires across the US between 2018 and 2021. Castro County Sheriff's Office said they had received a report of a fire at the farm at about 19:21 on Monday (00:21 GMT Tuesday). Photos posted by the Sheriff's Office show a huge plume of black smoke rising from the ground. When police and emergency personnel arrived at the scene, they found one person trapped who had to be rescued and flown to hospital in critical condition.

A powerful cyclone has hit Western Australia as a category five storm, setting a wind speed record but sparing populated areas from major damage. Severe Tropical Cyclone Ilsa struck the state close to Port Hedland, the world's largest iron ore export hub, just before midnight (17:00 BST). The storm has been downgraded to category three, but a red alert remains in place for some inland communities. The cyclone is the strongest to hit the region in some 14 years. Port Hedland Mayor Peter Carter described the sound of the wind hitting the town as "very eerie and unusual" and "like a freight train". One well-known local tavern and caravan park lying right in the path of the storm - the Pardoo roadhouse - suffered "great damage", its owners said on Facebook. But there have so far been no reports of injury to people and all critical infrastructure was undamaged by the cyclone, the region's fire chief said. "Once we can get crews onto the ground and helicopters in the air... we will move along the coast just to check to see roads and other critical infrastructure, Peter Sutton told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

It was a private online group with posts about video games, God, guns, memes - and highly classified US files. The suspect at the centre of the leak that has embarrassed the US and its allies has been named as Air National Guardsman Jack Douglas Teixeira, 21. In a chatroom called Thug Shaker Central on Discord - a social media platform popular with gamers - he was reportedly known as "OG". Now he faces charges under the Espionage Act. Mr Teixeira only graduated in 2020 from high school in his hometown of North Dighton, Massachusetts. A year earlier he enlisted in the Massachusetts Air National Guard - which is a reserve of the US Air Force - joining the 102nd Intelligence Wing. Mr Teixeira was promoted last July to Airman 1st Class - a relatively junior position - and was based at Otis Air National Guard Base in western Cape Cod.

Executions in Iran jumped by 75% in 2022, according to two human rights organisations. In their report, Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Together Against the Death Penalty documented at least 582 hangings last year, denouncing what they called a "killing machine" aimed at "instilling fear" in the population. Starting in September 2022, Iran was rocked by mass anti-government protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly violating the country's strict dress code. Authorities violently repressed the movement, killing more than 522 and arresting nearly 20,000, as per a January report by the US-based Human Rights Activist News Agency.

Some 354,000 Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have been killed or injured since Moscow invaded Ukraine in February last year, according to a trove of purported United States intelligence documents posted online that also warned the war could last well beyond 2023.

A missile launch by North Korea sparked confusion in northern Japan, where an evacuation order was issued and then retracted within 30 minutes. Sirens blared across Hokkaido and residents were told to "evacuate immediately" on Thursday morning. Authorities said the missile did not land near the island and withdrew the alert. Tensions have been growing in the region, as North Korea has already fired 27 missiles this year. The missile is believed to be of medium or longer range, but details on what weapon was tested on Thursday morning have not yet been made public. Japan, South Korea and the US have condemned the latest test. Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said his government would hold a National Security Council meeting on the launch.
