Hello, good evening - New Year celebrations are underway | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
across the world with New Zealand and Australia amongst | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Many cities have stepped up security with concrete barriers blocking off | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
central squares to prevent attacks like the recent ones | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
In cities including London thousands of extra police will be on duty | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
as our correspondent Helena Lee reports. | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
Sydney, Australia, one of the first cities to welcome in 2017. | :00:53. | :01:04. | |
The Harbour Bridge the focus of their spectacular display. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Soon after, it was Hong Kong's turn and this was their party. | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
In London, they're preparing for tonight's celebrations. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
The Met Police says it is not had any specific intelligence | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
to point to an attack, but they've looked at | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
what happened in Berlin and Nice and adjusted their plans. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
There'll be more than 3000 visible police officers present tonight. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
As in the past, there will be officers with firearms, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
but the key thing is to strike the balance, and none of us wants | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
to disrupt the enjoyment all of us want to have on New Year's Eve. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
We can't allow the bad guys to spoil our way of life. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
In other European cities, including Berlin, security | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
In her New Year's Eve address, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
acknowledged the threat her country faces. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
TRANSLATION: The biggest test, without a doubt, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
is Islamist terrorism, which has had Germany | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
In 2016 it attacked us in Wurzburg, Asbach and just a few days ago | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
in the Christmas market here in Berlin. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Other political leaders sending New Year messages | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Around the world millions of people are getting ready | :02:23. | :02:35. | |
to celebrate their New Year's Eve, welcoming in 2017 in style. | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
Our correspondent Jonathan Blake is in central London now, | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
no signs of the crowds staying away tonight? | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
Just in the last half an hour, the first of the hundred thousand of | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
people who have tickets to watch the display have started filling the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
viewing area is here on the embankment and across at the River | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
Thames. That heavy police presence is really a reassuring to the people | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
watching the display but also a reminder of the security threat. As | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
for the display itself, 12 minutes carefully synchronised to a | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
carefully chosen soundtrack which will pay tribute to some of the | :03:30. | :03:39. | |
artists we have lost. There will be 50,000 individual explosions and it | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
all kicks off as Big Ben chimes midnight. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
The New Year's honours list has been dominated by Britain's | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
There are knighthoods for Andy Murray and Mo Farah. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
And from the world of entertainment there's a knighthood | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba has the details. | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
Ending the year with a win on the court and with a knighthood | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
to his name, the title Sir Andy, though, could take | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
It feels, obviously, more normal to me, but it's | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
obviously a big honour and I'm happy with that, a nice way to finish | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Olympic champion Mo Farah says his knighthood is a dream come true. | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
London 2012 gold medallist Jessica Ennis-Hill has become | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
a Dame, as has rower Katherine Grainger, after five | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
In the world of entertainment, one of Britain's's favourite | :04:33. | :04:44. | |
performers Ken Dodd has received a knighthood. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
I said to the fella I said, excuse me, can you help me out? | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
He said certainly, which way did you come in? | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
The best day ever, you can't get better than this. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
I've played lots of big theatres, but this is it, | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
The Bucket Residencs, lady of the house speaking. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
Actress Patricia Routledge, she's been made a dame. | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
Kinks front man Ray Davies said he felt humility | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
A knighthood, too, for award-winning actor Mark Rylance. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Victoria Beckham becomes an OBE for services | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
The Hillsborough Independent Panel was chaired by the former | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones. | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Obviously great pride, but mixed with sadness | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
because of that enduring sadness of the families, who have continued | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
to feel the loss of their loved ones at Hillsborough. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
He's one of hundreds being recognised for their contributions | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
The United Nations has unanimously approved a resolution endorsing | :05:51. | :06:03. | |
Russia and Turkey brokered the truce. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
It's the third ceasefire this year as part of efforts to end nearly six | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
So-called Islamic State has said it carried out two bombings at a busy | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
market in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad this morning, killing | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
More than fifty other people were wounded. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
A third blast happened later in east of the city. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Our correspondent Jonny Dymond reports. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
For Iraqis, 2016 ends as it began - with bloodshed and grief. | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
Just one of the shoppers and traders slaughtered on a Saturday morning. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
There were two bombs, one in a car park's shop, | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
then another when a crowd had formed around the first. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Fathers, and sisters, and mothers, and brothers. | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
TRANSLATION: When we heard the explosion, we found many | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
people killed and wounded, whom we rescued and sent to the hospital. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Why does this happen in Iraq, why to the Iraqi people? | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
To the north, the battle to take Mosul, Iraq's | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
second city, from so-called Islamic State continues. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
It's a long slog, and for many residents the only way is out. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Three more months, Iraq's government says, the action might take. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Maybe next year will be better, but many Iraqis are giving up, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
as they flee their battered city with nothing but bags and suitcases. | :07:35. | :07:54. | |
In today's football, Chelsea continued the remarkable run | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
that's taken them to the top of the Premier League, | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
Liverpool and Manchester City both had the chance to close the gap | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
a short time ago with Liverpool winning by one goal to nil, | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
thanks to a goal scored after just 7 minutes. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
It means Liverpool stay second - now 6 points behind leaders Chelsea. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
In Scotland it was the turn of Old Firm rivals | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Celtic and Rangers who met at Ibrox at lunchtime - as our sports | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
It remains one of football's fiercest and noisiest rivalries. | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
Amid the customary cacophony, though, a minute's silence in memory | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
of the 66 fans who died in a crush at Ibrox in 1971. | :08:35. | :08:46. | |
After that reflection, time for the action. | :08:47. | :08:47. | |
Celtic, the runaway league leaders, but thanks to Kenny Miller's perfect | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
timing, it was Rangers that seized the initiative. | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
Celtic soon responded, though, and in thunderous fashion. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
Mousa Dembele's blistering volley levelling it up at the break. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
And just after it, Celtic should have been ahead. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
Dembele denied by the bar, Scott Sinclair the side netting. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
With barely 20 minutes left, finally their pressure paid off. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
For Sinclair this time unmissable, Celtic seemingly unstoppable. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Rangers did nearly equalise, Miller agonisingly close, | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
It might not even be January, but the title | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel, | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
but for now on BBC1 its time for the news where you are. | :09:32. | :09:35. |
