The headlines at ten: The Queen pays tribute to 'unsung heroes' who do | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
'small acts of goodness' in her Christmas message. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |

Good evening and welcome to BBC News. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
The Queen has missed her annual Christmas Day visit to church | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Other members of the Royal Family including the Duke of Edinburgh | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
attended the service at Sandringham without her. | :01:53. | :01:53. | |
In her traditional Christmas broadcast, the Queen focussed | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Our Royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports. | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
Christmas Day service at Sandringham Church, | :02:08. | :02:08. | |
Other members of the family including the Duke of Edinburgh | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
attended, but the Queen remained at Sandringham House, | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
continuing to recover from what Buckingham Palace | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
After the service the family appeared to be relaxed. | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
The Queen's absence is understood to have been precautionary. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Also absent from Sandringham this year, the Duke and Duchess | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
of Cambridge and their children, George and Charlotte. | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
They attended church at Bucklebury, Berkshire, where they spent | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
the day with the family of the Duchess, the Middletons. | :02:42. | :02:52. | |
Inspiration was the theme of this year's Christmas broadcast | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
by the Queen, which was recorded at Buckingham Palace some days ago. | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
She cited achievements of Olympic and Paralympic athletes and said | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
that she also drew inspiration from daily life. | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
I often draw strength from meeting ordinary people doing | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Volunteers, carers, community organisers and good neighbours. | :03:10. | :03:19. | |
Unsung heroes whose quiet dedication makes them special. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
She recalled this had been the year of her 90th birthday | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
and paid tribute to the inspiring work of charities | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
She said much more could be achieved globally by acting with others. | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
It's understandable that we sometimes think the world's | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
problems are such that we can do little to help. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
On our own, we cannot end wars or right injustice. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
But the cumulative impact of thousands of small acts | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
of goodness can be bigger than we imagine. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Her own life, she said, had been guided by the inspiring | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
The example of the small things with great love, | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
whoever does them, and what ever they themselves believe. | :04:12. | :04:24. | |
It was a broadcast by a monarch who, although usually indisposed this | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Christmas, shows little sign of yielding to the passage of years. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
For the Queen this year there has been that significant 90th birthday | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
and some lightening of the workload, but there is no expectation | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
whatsoever that she will step away from the core duties of her role | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
And Nick said there is no cause for alarm over the Queen's health. | :04:39. | :04:53. | |
No appearance today a church in the first time for many years. No sense | :04:54. | :05:05. | |
of undue concern. We can detect both from the demeanour of the family | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
including the Duke of Edinburgh who also had a cold, he looked as though | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
there was little wrong with him. They all looked relaxed and | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Buckingham Palace officials are not indicating there is any cause for | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
alarm. It was a protective move, given that she is the age she is. It | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
was felt better she should remain indoors and not go out to church on | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
this occasion. It will disappoint those who made the journey to | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Sandringham. They didn't see the Queen but nor did they see Prince | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
William or his family. They spent Christmas Day with the Middleton | :05:46. | :05:46. | |
family in Berkshire. Eleven bodies have been recovered | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
after a Russian military plane with more than 90 people on board | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
crashed into the Black Sea. The plane was carrying 64 members | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
of the renowned Red Army Choir and was heading from Sochi | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
to Latakia in Syria. Russian President Vladimir Putin has | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
declared a day of mourning tomorrow. From Moscow, Steve Rosenberg | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
sent this report. This is one of the final images | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
of the Tupolev-154 jet. It was taken by a journalist before | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
he boarded the plane. The aircraft crashed | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
into the Black Sea. The Russians scrambled helicopters | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
and ships but the search became The plane had taken off from | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
a military airfield near Moscow. It flew south, stopping | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
in Sochi to refuel. The final destination was Syria, | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
and Russia's airbase near Latakia, but minutes after leaving | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Sochi, it crashed. At the Russian Defence Ministry, | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
a spokesman said that more than 90 He said the recovery | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
operation was continuing. On board were more than 60 members | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
of the Russian army's famous song and dance ensemble, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
once known as the Red Army Choir. They had been due to give a concert | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
at the Russian airbase in Syria. Also killed was a prominent | :07:04. | :07:17. | |
humanitarian activist, known to millions of Russians. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Most civilian airlines have stopped using the Tupolev-154, | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
once the workhorse of the Russian aviation industry. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
In 2010, a Tupolev-154 carrying the Polish President crashed | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
The following year, a similar plane caught fire | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Throughout the day, Muscovites brought flowers to the headquarters | :07:34. | :07:49. | |
of the Russian Army choir. This has left Russia stunned and silence. The | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Kremlin has promised a thorough investigation into this tragedy. It | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
has also declared Monday a day of national mourning. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Olga Ivshina of the BBC Russian Service has been looking | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
This is a deep shock for most Russians, because the red Army choir | :08:05. | :08:17. | |
always receives a warm welcome in Russia. | :08:18. | :08:32. | |
She was also helping hospitals in Syria and was a humanitarian | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
activist and adored by many in Russia. | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Church leaders have used their Christmas sermons to reflect | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
on the emotional impact of global events in 2016. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, told his congregation | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
that the end of the year leaves people in a less predictable world. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Entering Canterbury Cathedral in time-honoured fashion, | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Archbishop Justin Welby focused his Christmas Day sermon | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
on the uncertainty and division that has marked both domestic | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
and international politics over the last year. | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
He described 2016 as a year of unpredictability and uncertainty, | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
The end of 2016 finds us in a less predictable world which feels more | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
He went on to suggest that our anxiety is a clear sign | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
that placing our trust in material prosperity has failed. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
The uncertainty of our world and our feelings | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
following the Berlin attack, Pope Francis also criticised | :09:39. | :09:55. | |
materialism, and appealed to Christians to stand out as people | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
TRANSLATION: It is time for weapons to be still forever and the | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
international community to actively seek a negotiated solution so that | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
civil coexistence can be restored in the country. | :10:08. | :10:19. | |
He concluded by appealing for Christians to stand | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
out as people of compassion and self-sacrifice. | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
Our Rome Correspondent David Willey listened to the Pope's message | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
It is not unexpected that he devoted his message | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
He lamented the fact that there is so much conflict going on, | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
wherever you look in the world - the Middle East, Africa, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
And even he referred to the conflict still going on between North | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
and South Korea, the fact that there has been no end | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
to the state of war, which has existed for decades | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
He says without peace, there is no future for the world. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
People have the resolve their conflicts. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
And then he went on to talk in a much more personal way | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
about all of those who have suffered, not only those who have | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
suffered from violence, he mentioned, he mentioned | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
the Berlin terrorist attack, but also the children who have | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
The children who have been suffering in other ways as well, | :11:26. | :11:38. | |
brought over from Africa across the Mediterranean | :11:39. | :11:51. | |
on these overcrowded boats, many of them losing their lives. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
And the children who are hungry because they are malnourished. | :11:55. | :12:27. | |
Carrie Fisher is stable and her mother has thanked fans for their | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
support. Chile has lifted a tsunami alert, | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
after an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
struck off the coast. The quake hit 140 miles | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
southwest of Puerto Montt. Buildings in the area | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
were evacuated as a precaution, but there are no reports | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
of damage or casualties. A World War II bomb that caused | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
the evacuation of more than 50,000 residents of a German city | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
has now been defused. Residents of the southern German | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
city of Augsburghad had been forced to leave their homes | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
on Christmas Day so that the huge This was the biggest evacuation | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
in Germany for an unexploded bomb The British bomb is thought to be | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
a legacy of an Allied air-raid in 1944, which destroyed | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the old town. The Israeli leader | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his Foreign Ministry | :13:18. | :13:18. | |
to summon and reprimand ambassadors from countries on the United | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
Nations Security Council, The move is a response to the UN | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
vote on Friday that condemned Israel's building of Jewish | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
settlements in the Our Middle East analyst, | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Alan Johnston, told me that Mr Netanyahu's action | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
shows his frustration It looks as if a number of | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
ambassadors in Israel did not quite have the kind of Christmas Day | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
they may have been planning. As you say, a string | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
of them called into the of Benjamin Netanyahu | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
and the British, French, the Russians, | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
the Chinese, the Spanish, the and others will have been left | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
in no doubt at all as to Israel's deep frustration | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
about what happened on Friday. The passing of that | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
UN resolution which strongly condemned the Israeli | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
settlement building project in the occupied territories, describing it | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
as a flagrant violation of Suddenly Israel found itself | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
without a friend in the world after the US turned its back | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
on the Israelis and allow the resolution to go and didn't veto it, | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
the message is clear from the world body and Israel is not | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
accepting it for one moment. The headlines at ten: The Queen pays | :14:36. | :14:44. | |
tribute to 'unsung heroes' who do 'small acts of goodness' | :14:45. | :14:55. | |
in her Christmas message. But she's forced to miss | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
because of a heavy cold. 11 bodies have been recovered | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
from the Black Sea after a Russian military plane crashes, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
killing all 92 people on board. Christmas is a time for family, | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
but if you don't have one, The poet Lemn Sissay knows | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
exactly how that feels. He was fostered as a baby | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
but when he turned 12, his foster He spent the next five years | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
in and out of children's homes. That's why each year he organises | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
special Christmas dinners for young Jayne McCubbin went to meet him | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
as he prepared for one of those Not everyone has | :15:32. | :15:44. | |
someone at Christmas. If I visited a friend's house, | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
I often felt I was the boy with no family who was going to visit | :15:49. | :16:08. | |
families, you know? for one of his Care Leavers' | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
Christmas Dinners - a project that has grown from one | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
city to five cities in four years. All of the gifts here have been | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
donated by strangers, and all the parties will all be | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
run by volunteers. Do we really not know | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
the words to Jingle Bells? The only reason we do the Christmas | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
dinner is so that those young care leavers go away with a memory | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
that they can look onto next year. That's all Christmas is - | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
it's the making of a memory So we all come around the Christmas | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
dinner table and we all remember, "We did this last year, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
and it was incredible". For a lot of care leavers, | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
the memory was a bad one This is his passion, | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
and for the team, that This is Amanda, who is | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
sorting everybody out. We have 20 volunteers - | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
60 young people, four hairstylists, artists, | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
musicians, social workers coming down to do a really amazing | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Christmas Day for young people. This is Sabrina, who is | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
the hair woman and stylist, As a care leaver myself, | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
I know how important it is to give self-esteem and to feel | :17:35. | :17:48. | |
like people care. Ryan is going to be | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
the chef for the evening. When I was 14 I went into temporary | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
foster care for a weekend, and it sort of turned | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
into nearly five years. Christmas is about family, and not | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
everyone is lucky enough to have it. The best part of the day | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
was sitting down and having a meal with everyone, | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
getting to know people. Messages from previous | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
dinners show just how much I hope they have one | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
next year as well! | :18:25. | :18:37. |
