In half an hour I will be looking back at a diverse year in film.

:01:08.:01:24.

That's Review 2016, The Year In A Film with me, Mark commode.

:01:25.:01:39.

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

and ships but the search became The plane had taken off from

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

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.

:13:40.:13:46.

they may have been planning. As you say, a string

in no doubt at all as to Israel's deep frustration

about what happened on Friday. The passing of that

the message is clear from the world body and Israel is not

Christmas Dinners - a project that has grown from one

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,

foster care for a weekend, and it sort of turned

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

dinners show just how much I hope they have one
