Why is it creating a problem?

It’s not that the
bris inside thep, but rather you’re not ending thebrwith the/character. You have<br>in the code, when it should be<br/>. Which is why the validation error is “end tag for “br” omitted”, it’s telling you that you’ve not ended the tag correctly with a /.Note that in HTML4 it’s not required to close the
brtag with a final slash, but in XHTML it is required as it’s a singleton tag.
