:02:51.:02:56.

The Hillsborough Independent Panel was chaired by the former

Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones.

:04:01.:04:03.

Obviously, great pride, but mixed with sadness

:04:04.:04:08.

because of that enduring sadness of the families, who have continued

:04:09.:04:11.

to feel the loss of their loved ones at Hillsborough.

:04:12.:04:18.

He's one of hundreds being recognised for their

:04:19.:04:21.

At least 25 people have been killed - and more than 50 injured -

:04:22.:04:32.

after two bomb attacks at a busy market in central Baghdad.

:04:33.:04:35.

A roadside bomb exploded near a shop, then a suicide bomber

:04:36.:04:37.

detonated his device among the crowd that had gathered.

:04:38.:04:39.

So-called Islamic State says it was behind the attacks.

:04:40.:04:42.

A packed market, shoppers and traders hemmed in.

:04:43.:04:49.

Then another when a crowd had formed around the first.

:04:50.:04:54.

They took more than two dozen with them.

:04:55.:05:02.

Fathers and sisters and mothers and brothers.

:05:03.:05:08.

people killed and wounded, whom we rescued and

:05:12.:05:13.

To the north, the fight to take Mosul, Iraq's second city

:05:14.:05:26.

Three more months Iraq's government says the action might take.

:05:27.:05:45.

Maybe next year will be better, but many Iraqis are giving up

:05:46.:05:51.

as they flee their battered city with nothing but bags and suitcases.

:05:52.:05:55.

Thick fog across the south east of England is continuing to cause

:05:56.:06:04.

disruption with dozens of flights to and from London airports

:06:05.:06:07.

The Met Office says fog is expected to clear later.

:06:08.:06:10.

However, Heathrow, Gatwick and London City Airports have

:06:11.:06:12.

all warned passengers to check with their airlines

:06:13.:06:14.

Our correspondent Angus Crawford is at Heathrow now...

:06:15.:06:19.

It looks as if it is clearing up a bit there, Angus? Yes. This really

:06:20.:06:26.

has been a question, the morning after the fog, the night before.

:06:27.:06:30.

Yesterday we know that something like 200 flights were cancelled

:06:31.:06:34.

across the UK, affecting up to 30,000 people. But it meant that

:06:35.:06:38.

aircrew and aircraft were in the wrong places when it came to

:06:39.:06:44.

departures and arrivals today. Even though the fog has lifted, earlier,

:06:45.:06:51.

you could not see the control tower but there is still disruption. Here

:06:52.:06:55.

at Heathrow Airport, about 50 flights have been cancelled. And

:06:56.:07:01.

London City Airport, real problems there and at Gatwick Airport 40 to

:07:02.:07:08.

60 minute delays on some departures. If you are travelling today, do

:07:09.:07:12.

consult your airline before setting off from home.

:07:13.:07:16.

Celebrations are already in full swing - on the opposite

:07:17.:07:18.

side of the globe - to welcome in 2017.

:07:19.:07:23.

New Year fireworks from Auckland's Sky Tower marked midnight

:07:24.:07:29.

for thousands of revellers in New Zealand.

:07:30.:07:30.

And in Australia, the traditional Sydney Harbour display is lighting

:07:31.:07:33.

Here, more armed police officers will be deployed -

:07:34.:07:41.

and concrete barriers will be in place - at London's

:07:42.:07:44.

Security plans for major outdoor celebrations around the UK have been

:07:45.:07:49.

"modified" following the lorry attacks in Berlin and Nice.

:07:50.:08:02.

With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes

:08:03.:08:04.

I'm sorry, we seem to have problems with our lines to Salford.

:08:05.:08:22.

Well, you can see more on today's stories on the BBC News Channel. The

:08:23.:08:28.

next news on BBC One is at 7.25pm. Goodbye for now.

:08:29.:08:34.

Good afternoon. The fog is less of an issue in the south, rain now in

:08:35.:08:47.

the Highlands too.
