For the first time in almost 30 years, the Queen has missed | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Buckingham Palace say she's still recovering from a heavy cold. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Later today, in a pre-recorded Christmas broadcast, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
she will speak of drawing strength from meeting ordinary people doing | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Our Royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports. | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
Morning service at Sandringham, part of the Royal family's Christmas Day | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
routine but with one significant absentee this year, the Queen. While | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
other members of her family, including the Duke of Edinburgh, | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
gathered at the church, the Queen remained at Sandringham house is | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
continuing to recover from what Buckingham Palace described as a | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
heavy cold. In a statement the palace searcher would take part in | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the family celebrations. Her absence from the church service, the first | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
time in many years she hasn't attended, is understood to be a | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
precautionary measure, there is no sense of on due concern. Almost -- | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
also absent were the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge and their | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
children. They attended a service with the Middleton family. In the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Christmas Day broadcast, the Queen talks about inspiration and reflects | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
on the achievements of Olympic and Paralympic athletes from Britain and | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
the Commonwealth, many of whom she met at a palace reception in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
October. This year when the Queen has marked her 90th birthday, she | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
will refer to the inspirational work of many of the charities with which | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
she has been associated. She will also talk about the work of many on | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
the unsung heroes she meets, carers, community leaders and good | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
neighbours, ordinary people doing extraordinary things, as she puts | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
it. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News. A Russian military plane with more | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
than 90 people on board has The plane was carrying 64 members | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
of the renowned Red Army Choir and was heading from Sochi | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
to Latakia in Syria. The Russian Defence Ministry says | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
there are no survivors. From Moscow, Steve Rosenberg | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
sent this report. This is one of the final images | :02:25. | :02:25. | |
of the Tupolev-154 jet. It was taken by a journalist before | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
he boarded the plane. The aircraft crashed | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
into the Black Sea. The Russians scrambled helicopters | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
and ships but the search became The plane had taken off from | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
a military airfield near Moscow. It flew south, stopping | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
in Sochi to refuel. The final destination was Syria, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
and Russia's airbase near Latakia, but minutes after leaving | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Sochi, it crashed. At the Russian Defence Ministry, | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
a spokesman said that more than He said the recovery | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
operation was continuing. On board were more than 60 members | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
of the Russian army's famous song and dance ensemble, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
once known as the Red Army Choir. They had been due to give a concert | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
at the Russian airbase in Syria. Most civilian airlines have stopped | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
using the Tupolev-154, once the workhorse of | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
the Russian aviation industry. In 2010, a Tupolev-154 carrying | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
the Polish President crashed The following year, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
a similar plane caught fire Now the investigation begins | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
into another disaster, to find out why this Russian plane | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
fell from the sky into the sea. Church leaders are using their | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Christmas sermons to reflect on the emotional impact of global | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
events in 2016. The Archbishop of Canterbury, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Justin Welby, told his congregation that the end of the year leaves | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
people in a less predictable world. Entering Canterbury Cathedral in | :04:05. | :04:23. | |
time-honoured fashion, Archbishop Justin Welby focused his Christmas | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Day sermon on the uncertainty and division that has marked both | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
domestic and international politics over the last year. He described | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
2016 as a year of unpredictability and uncertainty, where fear and | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
division were in danger of overwhelming us and went on to | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
suggest that our anxiety is a clear sign that placing our trust in | :04:48. | :04:57. | |
material prosperity has failed. In Rome, where additional security was | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
in place following the Berlin attack, Pope Francis also criticised | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
materialism and appealed to Christians to stand out as people of | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
compassion and self-sacrifice. That's it for now, the next news | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
on BBC One will be at 2:50pm. Good morning. It is one thing not | :05:12. | :05:35. | |
having a white Christmas, as most of us don't. It's another, it's not | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
even feeling like winter out there. It seems like this like Aberdeen -- | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
in Aberdeenshire from one of the Weather Watchers this morning, many | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Sunni part of the UK have broken 14 Celsius today but it is widely into | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
double figures, exceptionally mild for Christmas Day, close to a record | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
and we will keep watching as the day goes on. Not all of us have seen | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
sunshine, a fair amount of cloud and some outbreaks of rain to western | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
parts of the UK. More persistent rain southwards through parts of | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland as the day goes on. Windy again with strong | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
