The music world has been paying tribute to George Michael, | :00:35. | :00:59. | |
who died last night from suspected heart | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
He sold more than 100 million albums in a career spanning three decades. | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
He leapt to fame as one half of the pop duo Wham, | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
before forging a successful solo career, but he struggled | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
His former bandmate Andrew Ridgeley said he was "heartbroken at the loss | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
Our Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, looks back at his life. | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
# I am a man... Wearing a biker jacket and a white | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
T-shirt, George Michael takes his first steps into the limelight as | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
one half of the pop duo Wham. # Wake me up before you go... | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Back then, he had big hair and a permanent tan, his idea of early 80s | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Glam. The reality was a little different. They stuck him in a hotel | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
that couldn't have been more than a quick the night. I was sleeping, the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
night before I first took the parts, I had polystyrene sheets and it was | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
a child sized bed. -- the night before my first Top Of The Pops. My | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
feet were over the end of it. No matter, he continued to live the | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
dream, with feel-good, party pleasing chart hits. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
# All that's missing is the sea # But don't worry, you can suntan... | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
Then a change of tone and direction. # I'm never going to dance again am | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
guilty feet have got no rhythm... Leading to a career as a soulful | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
single artist. His first album, Faith, sold over 25 millions, | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
garnered awards galore and sealed his reputation as a major | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
international artist. # I've got to have faith, faith... | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
It was, oh, my God, I'm a massive star. It was like, oh, my God, I'm a | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
massive star and I think I may be a puff, what am I going to do? This is | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
not going to end well, you know? And I'd just like to say... That was the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
turning point for me. That was the point at which I had to negotiate | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
some new relationship with celebrity that wasn't going to destroy me, you | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
know? At one stage -- on stage, that wasn't a problem, his talents were | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
widely admired, but his private life was different matter. Homophobia was | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
just flying. They were loving it. To be able to say that this man who had | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
hidden from them for the best part of six years by them, or seven | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
years, the idea that he had been in tragic, old-fashioned, stereotypical | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
cottager, they just loved it. The whole experience led to this song, | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
with its ironic, cheeky video. There were other problems with drugs, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
addiction, and a spell in jail after crashing his car into a shop in | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
London, but his sense of humour remained. What you get up to in your | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
spare time is up to you. That's why I came to comic relief. Yorick joke, | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
it's embarrassing. Comic relief is about helping people like you. -- | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
you are a joke. He collaborated with other singers, including Elton John, | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
who wrote today, I have lost the kindest, most brilliant soul and | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
brilliant artist. Madonna also bid him farewell. His old Wham partner, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Andrew Ridgeley, wrote, I am heartbroken at the loss of my | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
beloved friend. # I should know by now the way I | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
fought for you... That George Michael is one of | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Britain's biggest pop stars is without question. The 100 million | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
albums he's old, the continued presence of his music on our radios | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
and a sold out arena tour stands a testament to his talent. Made life | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
affirming music touched and will continue to touch the lives of fans | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
world over. George Michael, who has | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
died at the age of 53. As a tribute, BBC One will broadcast | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
George Michael In Concert from 2012 Russia is holding a day of national | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
mourning for the 92 people who were killed when a military | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
plane crashed in the Black Sea. Pilot error or a technical fault | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
are being blamed for the plane coming down just moments after it | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
left Sochi airport after refuelling. From Moscow, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Steve Rosenberg reports. Across Russia, they | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
prayed for the dead... For the 92 victims of | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
yesterday's plane crash. There was a special service today | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
in every Orthodox church in Russia. This may be the last ever | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
picture of the Tupolev 154. A few hours later it | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
crashed into the Black Sea. The search operation continued | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
today to recover bodies Russia's transport minister said | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
that technical failure or pilot Killed in the crash, | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
more than 60 members of the Russian army's song and dance troupe | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
who were on their way to Syria Outside the musicians' headquarters | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
in Moscow there is now a shrine As well as bringing flowers, | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
icons and candles, people have This says, "You were killed | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
on take-off, farewell, friends. You won't be returning, | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
we couldn't save you." Natalia's son used to work | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
in the ensemble but left. We mourn with everybody | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
else, she says, there Officially, there is one day | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
of national mourning but for many Russians the sense of loss from this | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
disaster will last much longer. The Colombian authorities, | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
investigating the plane crash last month in which 71 people died, | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
have concluded the aircraft The plane, which was carrying | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Brazil's Chapecoense football club, On a leaked tape, the pilot | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
who died was heard warning of a "total electric failure" | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
and "lack of fuel". However, he didn't make | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
a formal distress call. Bargain hunters were up early this | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
morning for the Boxing Day sales, despite analysts suggesting cheaper | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
prices in the run-up to Christmas would mean the shops being a little | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
less busy than last year. The fall in the value of the pound | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
since Brexit is also providing an incentive for tourists looking | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
for a bargain. The former governor of the Bank | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
of England, Lord King, suggested today that Britain | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
would be better off leaving the single market completely if it | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
wants to strike trade deals Here's our Economics | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Correspondent, Andy Verity. After one day's respite, | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
14 million of us are expected to hit the shops today, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
drawn in by the theory that goods are significantly cheaper | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
than they were two days ago. From Birmingham to Belfast, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
?3 billion is expected to be spent in shopping centres in the high | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
street, with up to I always do it every | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
Boxing Day morning. I'm normally just looking for | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
a really good deal, like half price. We were here last February | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
and the exchange rate was 1.5 We get a lot more for our money | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
this year than last. The international visitors joining | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
the crowds in London's West End aren't just coming for | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
the Boxing Day sales. The Brexit vote has weakened | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
the pound and that means that their money buys about a fifth | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
more here than it did year ago. It's effects like that that create | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
the hope that the Brexit vote could lift exports and provide, | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
at least in the short term, One legacy of the credit boom | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
of the last decade and the bust that followed it was consumers borrowing | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
unprecedented amounts to buy imported goods, | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
while exports trailed behind. Today, the man who presided over | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
that boom and bust was hoping that Brexit might throw | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
that into reverse. There are many opportunities | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
and we should look at it in a much more self-confident way than either | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
side is approaching I think that being out of what has | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
been an unsuccessful European Union, particularly in the economic sense, | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
brings us opportunities as well as obviously great | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
political difficulties. To the incoming US commerce | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
secretary though, Brexit is an opportunity not for us | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
but for other countries Billionaire businessman Wilbur Ross | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
has called it a god-given opportunity for cities from Dublin | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
to Frankfurt to take business And that's the man chosen | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
by Donald Trump to lead trade negotiations with Theresa May's | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Government. 50,000 people in England at risk | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
of Type-2 diabetes could be helped by an NHS programme | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
that's being extended from today. The advice on better nutrition | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
and exercise has already It forms part of a package | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
of new measures to curb Type-2 diabetes, including funding | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
for more specialist nurses. Parts of Scotland have been | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
experiencing snow and winds of more than 90mph as Storm Conor | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
made its presence felt Orkney and Shetland and the northern | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
tip of the mainland are the areas being hit hardest by the southern | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
fringe of the Boxing Day storm. Tomorrow, a weather warning | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
is in force for the Highlands Last week, thousands of homes were | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
left without power after Storm Barbara swept through. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
With all the sport, here's Reshmin Choudhary | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Three days after being appointed by Crystal Palace, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
the former England manager Sam Allardyce has taken charge | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
of his first game for the club, a draw against Watford. | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Earlier this year, he left his job as national manager after just one | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
match, when a newspaper investigation claimed he offered | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
advice on how to "get around" transfer rules. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
90 days after losing his dream job, time for the first 90 minutes of his | :12:10. | :12:25. | |
new job. From the national team to the Palace, succeed with the Eagles | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
and big Sam's reputation will soar. He has never been relegated from the | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
premiership and he tends to have an immediate impact, and Palace were | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
the latest club to profit, Yohan Cabaye the first scorer of the new | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Iraq. Watford were being outplayed and, in the case of their | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
goalkeeper, outpaced. But if Christian Benteke recovered to take | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the kick, Heurelho Gomes Dean -- redeemed himself to save it. Referee | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Mark Clattenburg again pointed to the spot, on this occasion in favour | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
of Watford. Fortuitous or not, Troy Deeney showed Christian Benteke how | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
it is done. Wounded, Palace went for the winner. Wilfried Zaha appealed | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
for another penalty but he got a yellow card. Already angry, | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
Allardyce was enraged. You have to remember that for many years I only | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
enjoyed after the game. I have never enjoyed the game in my life as a | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
manager, so I'm not going to start now. Allardyce -- Palace will see it | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
as two points dropped but, with him in charge you suspect that they have | :13:37. | :13:37. | |
plenty to gain. There are seven other Boxing Day | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
fixtures in the Premier League. Leaders Chelsea are now nine points | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
clear at the top of the table thanks to a 3-0 win | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
over Bournemouth. The third was a penalty | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
by Eden Hazard. Here's confimration | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
of those results. In the teatime kick-off, Manchester | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
City are away at Hull City. In horseracing, Boxing Day sees | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
the running of the King George VI This year's race was won | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
by favourite Thistlecrack His stablemate Cue Card, | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
who won the race in 2015, finished in second place, | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
just over three lengths back. There are three matches | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
today in rugby's Pro 12, Cardiff Blues saw off | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
their South Wales rivals Steven Shingler scored the first try | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
for Cardiff and went on to set up another, | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
as all the points were Elsewhere, Edinburgh | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
lost at home to Glasgow. In Ireland, leaders Munster are | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
currently behind against second placed Leinster. | :14:49. | :14:49. | |
And in the English Premiership, Tom Varndell scored all three tries | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
for bottom of the table Bristol as they beat Worcester 28-20. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
