Hello and welcome
to World News Today. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
In Rome, Pope Francis
has called for an end | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
to the suffering of children,
and for peace in the Middle East. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
It comes as Christmas
celebrations in Bethlehem have | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
been quieter than usual,
after the violence which followed | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
President Trump's decision to move
the US embassy to Jerusalem. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:36 | |
Meanwhile the Archbishop
of Canterbury here in Britain, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
has used his Christmas Day sermon,
to reflect on what he described | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
as "tyrannical leaders
around the world." | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Justin Welby said 2017 had
seen "populist leaders" | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
deceiving their people. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
The BBC's Religion Editor
Martin Bashir reports. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:55 | |
Bright sunshine lit up the basilica
in St Peter's Square. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
But Pope Francis chose
to focus his Christmas Day message | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
on how conflict and oppression
are casting a dark | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
shadow over the world. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:11 | |
He said that Christmas makes us
focus on the Christ child, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
and thereby pay attention
to the sufferings of children, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
particularly in the Holy Land. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
"We see Jesus in the children
of the Middle East," he said, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
"who continue to suffer
because of growing tensions | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
between Israelis and Palestinians." | 0:01:27 | 0:01:37 | |
"On this festive day, let us ask
the Lord for peace for Jerusalem." | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
The Anglican archbishop
in Jerusalem, the Most | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
Reverend Suhail Dawani,
said that Christ himself wept over | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
the city 2,000 years ago, and,
with Donald Trump's decision | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
to officially recognise Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
that grief continues. | 0:01:52 | 0:02:01 | |
When he wept at that time,
he wept for the absence of peace | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
and love in the life of people
who live here. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
I'm afraid that our Lord Jesus is
really still weeping for this city. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:15 | |
At Canterbury Cathedral,
the archbishop said though Christ | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
was born without any political
leverage, he provides more freedom | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
to individuals than the world's
most powerful leaders, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
but midway through preaching, his
own powers of speech began to fail. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:32 | |
Unlike the Budget, it's not gin! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
In Rome, Canterbury
and here in Jerusalem, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Christian leaders have taken
the opportunity of this day | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
to challenge the wisdom
of the world, that they say puts | 0:02:39 | 0:02:49 | |
power before people and has failed
to protect the most vulnerable | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
members of society, our children. | 0:02:53 | 0:03:03 | |
Russian opposition leader
Alexei Navalny has called | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
for a boycott of next year's
election after the country's | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
central election commission
rejected his bid to take part. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
The commission said that Navalny's
controversial conviction | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
for embezzlement meant
he couldn't run. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:21 | |
I spoke to BBC Russians Olga
Ivshina a little earlier | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
about the development. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
We cannot call it a surprise but
this is an important twist. All of | 0:03:28 | 0:03:36 | |
this documents he needed have been
submitted. He was rejected because | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
the head of the electoral committee
said he has an outstanding criminal | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
conviction. Those charges were
politically motivated, according to | 0:03:45 | 0:03:54 | |
human rights organisations around
the world. Russian authorities | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
insist, and a Russian court has
decided that is what has happened. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:05 | |
In return he has said that he will
appeal the decision and if the bank | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
continues, then he has called for a
boycott of the elections. This is... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:16 | |
This adds intrigue to the elections.
Because almost all political | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
analysts believe that Vladimir Putin
will win, but the question is what | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
will be the percentage and what will
the turnout be? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
A diplomatic row between Venezuela
and Canada has intensified. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Canada has announced it's banning
Venezuela's ambassador to Ottawa | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
from returning to the country | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
and is expelling its
charge d'affaires. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
The Canadian Foreign Minister said
the move was in retaliation | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
for the expulsion of its most senior
diplomat from Caracas | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
over the weekend. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
The BBC's Americas editor
Leonardo Roccha | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
explained what the row is about. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
It is about the opposition in
Venezuela, and the way the | 0:04:55 | 0:05:03 | |
president, Nicolas Maduro, has
handled opposition movements and | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
protests. In April, President
Nicolas Maduro announced he would | 0:05:07 | 0:05:14 | |
call in a sitting assembly, very
controversial, because the new | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
assembly would take over powers and
replace the Congress in Venezuela | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
that was controlled by the
opposition. That sparked four months | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
of protest, about 120 people were
killed. Canada has been very vocal | 0:05:27 | 0:05:33 | |
about this, very critical. They went
against the Venezuelan government, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:42 | |
and what happened is, over the
weekend, they finally, Venezuela | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
expels the Canadian ambassador. They
said they could not stand by, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
Canada, and they will continue
supporting the defence of human | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
rights in Venezuela. Tit-for-tat,
then, but the Brazilian ambassador | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
has also been expelled. For a
slightly different case, the | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Brazilian government has been very
critical of President Maduro, the | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Brazilian ambassador, what they said
is that Brazil has broken the role | 0:06:06 | 0:06:13 | |
of law, with the impeachment of its
left-wing leader. What it shows is | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
that Venezuela has decided to strike
against the countries that are | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
critical of the president, President
Maduro, who next year is running for | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
re-election. And they will get
closer to their allies, Russia, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
Cuba, left-wing allies, in Latin
America, and other parts of the | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
world. Recreation of a constituent
assembly, that reduces the | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
opposition powers, it will mean next
year 's election should be easier | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
for Nicolas Maduro. The opposition
is very weak. Many of its leaders | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
have been put in prison. They have
been sentenced. Others have left the | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
country. The constituent assembly
has been divided, completely, they | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
did not know how to act, to boycott,
to strike back. President Nicolas | 0:07:00 | 0:07:06 | |
Maduro, if he called for elections
in April, May, he is almost certain | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
to win. He will get another six-year
term. Canada, Brazil, these | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
expulsions, is that the end of the
matter or will it escalate? That is | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
how they can do it, the conditions
for Brazil are basically impossible, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
it would be the return of the
president, Dilma Rousseff. With | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
Canada, they have said, taking
orders from President Trump, the | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
Empire. And there is nothing that
they can do there. For Venezuela | 0:07:31 | 0:07:38 | |
what is crucial, relations with the
United States. Where they export | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
most of their oil, and with Russia. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
At least nine people have
been killed | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
in a suicide bomb attack close | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
to Afghanistan's national
intelligence agency | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
in the capital, Kabul. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
The bomber targeted people
as they arrived for work. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
The so-called Islamic State group
said it carried out the attack. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
Anbarasan Ethirajan reports. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
The mangled remains of the car hit
by the suicide bombing. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Most of the passengers of the car
died in the impact of the explosion. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
The bomber was on foot,
and detonated before the security | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
guards could stop him. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
Two guards were among the dead. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
Several people were injured. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
TRANSLATION: I heard a big
boom, and then realised | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
it was an explosion. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
I was so scared. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
And then the security
forces arrived. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
TRANSLATION: The sound was so loud,
then it was dusty, and people | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
were fleeing from every corner. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
Security forces came quite soon. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
And, fearing the possibility
of a second explosion, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
they stopped people getting close
to the area. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
The Islamic State group said it
carried out the attack. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
It comes a week after militants
stormed a building near the same | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
intelligence agency. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
In May, a truck bomb killed at least
150 people in the heavily protected | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
diplomatic district. | 0:08:52 | 0:09:02 | |
The repeated attacks raised
questions over the ability | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
of the security forces
to prevent such incidents. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
As a bitter power struggle
continues between the Afghan | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
presidency and local leaders,
some are worried that the political | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
crisis is distracting
the government's efforts in tackling | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
the growing Islamist insurgency. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:23 | |
Let's take a look at
some news in brief now. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Authorities in the Philippines have
ordered a criminal investigation | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
into a shopping mall fire
in the southern city of Davao. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
At least 37 people died. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
Deadly blazes occur regularly
in the Philippines, | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
particularly in slum areas. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
Twenty people travelling
to a Christmas Day mass | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
in the Philippines have been killed
in a bus crash. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
The churchgoers' small bus collided
with an oncoming coach | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
near the town of Agoo,
north of the capital Manila. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Twenty five other
people were injured. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
A bus in the Russian capital,
Moscow has ploughed | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
into a pedestrian underpass,
killing at least four people. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
The vehicle travelled at high
speed down a staircase | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
at the entrance of the underpass. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
The incident took place
near the Slavyansky Bulvar metro | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
station in the west of the city. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
The driver of the bus
was detained by police. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:16 | |
A man has rammed his car
into the headquarters of Germany's | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Social Democratic Party in Berlin. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Police say the 58-year-old
was intending to kill himself. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
He had gas cartridges
in the car and cans of petrol. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
The man was injured
and taken to hospital. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
He also left a bag containing
gas canisters | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
in front of the headquarters | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
of Chancellor Angela
Merkel's party. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:40 | |

The latest headlines: | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
The Pope has been
giving his Christmas blessing. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
He called for "peace
for Jerusalem" and "mutual trust" | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
on the Korean peninsula. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
Russia's election commission has | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
voted to ban opposition candidate
Alexei Navalny from | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
running for president. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
He says he will appeal. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
The deadly tropical storm that
cut through southern | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
Philippines on Saturday, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:48 | |
where it killed 240 people
in mudslides and flash floods, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
is beginning to hit
southern Vietnam. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Up to one million people are being
evacuated from low lying areas, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
as anywhere from Da Nang southwards
is expected to have up to 500mm | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
of rain fall. | 0:12:58 | 0:12:59 | |
A short time ago I was joined
by Nick Miller from the BBC | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Weather Centre, who told me
the storm is now weakening. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
At one stage it was a typhoon, it
strengthened, having moved with the | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
southern Philippines, it became a
typhoon, just before reaching | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
southern Vietnam, it was downgraded
in terms of wind strength to a | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
tropical storm. Wind is in the only
feature we need to be worried about | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
when it comes to typhoons and
tropical storms, it is very much the | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
rain, all that rain in the southern
Philippines causing problems. And | 0:13:26 | 0:13:33 | |
the storm surge, the amount of water
above normal tide level that will | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
come into low-lying areas, very
serious threat. Although technically | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
it has weakened, we are still
expecting several hours of heavy | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
rain and the storm surge, still
potential for damaging wind across | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
southern parts of Vietnam. That
rain, in the worst affected areas, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
reaching 200 of millimetres as we
have mentioned. Extraordinary, and | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
continues to head west, where does
that put the track? The energy from | 0:13:59 | 0:14:05 | |
this, as a weakening system, we have
been watching, it has broken apart, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
in terms of cloud structure, and
well-defined typhoon. But the energy | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
from this goes out west to the Gulf
of Thailand, and on towards | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Thailand. There will be areas, come
the end of the week, that will be | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
affected by heavy rain, and brings
the potential for some flooding | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
where some spots, by about 18, 100
150 millimetres of rain, not | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
producing as much as we have seen in
Vietnam over the next few hours, but | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
certainly as much rain as the
terrible problems we saw in the | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
Philippines. 500 millimetres of
rain, relatively short time, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
particularly when we talk about the
Philippines, that is what caused the | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
mudslides. And not everybody will
see that much rain, let's be clear, | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
it ties in with the topography, the
hills, the geography of these | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
places. You can have areas that see
a lot of rain, minimal impact, a lot | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
of rain also in the worst possible
area, else I, something like that, a | 0:15:02 | 0:15:08 | |
lot of that rain will follow down
quite quickly, producing landslide | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
and flooding. That degree of things
is unpredictable in terms of the | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
impact, we saw that in the southern
Philippines, at risk of seeing some | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
problems that may not be on that
scale, that is why these | 0:15:19 | 0:15:24 | |
preparations and evacuations are
taking place. Certainly very much a | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
system that needs to be is taken
seriously. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Nigerian military officials say
they have repelled an attack | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
by suspected Boko Haram fighters. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Militants had attacked
the village of Molai, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
around five kilometres
from the north eastern | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
city of Maiduguri. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:41 | |
Major General Nicholas Rogers,
who heads Nigeria's military | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
operations against Boko Haram,
told Reuters news agency | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
the situation was now under control. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:54 | |
Yemeni officials say that fresh air
strikes and clashes have | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
killed over 60 fighters. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
It comes as Saudi-backed
pro-government forces push | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
an offensive against Houthi rebels. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:00 | |
Saudi-led coalition air raids
overnight targeted Hais, | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
while bombardments from gunships
struck the city of Tahita. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Government troops and coalition
forces have been advancing along | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |

You've heard of re-cycling
but these days the new | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
buzzword is up-cycling, | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
transforming rubbish
into objects of desire. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
A nonprofit workshop in Austria,
supported by the city government, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
is working with the long-term
unemployed | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
to make furniture,
ornaments and jewellery | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
out of old household appliances. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:37 | |
Bethany Bell reports
from the Dismantling | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
and Recycling Centre in Vienna. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
It's beautiful, but it is actually
all made from rubbish. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
The process starts
here at this workshop. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Workers remove hazardous substances
from old computers and appliances. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
The leftovers are sent either
for recycling, or upstairs, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
to the trash design team. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
What we do is that we collect
specific kinds of garbage - | 0:16:56 | 0:17:03 | |
that means electric
and electronic equipment. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:09 | |
We make, design objects
and jewellery, and we offer | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
the old garbage an opportunity
to get reused, or to get upcycled. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:18 | |
They turn vinyl records into clocks,
and dead keyboards into rings. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
The glass from washing machine doors
become sandblasted bowls, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
complete with patterns. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:32 | |
And it's not just about
transforming trash. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:39 | |
Lives are changed here, too. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
Many of the people who work
here are the long-term unemployed. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Susann says she has been
given a new chance. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
TRANSLATION: It is cool. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:48 | |
I find it really super. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:49 | |
You make something new out
of old stuff, but it hurts me | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
when I have to cut up
these old records. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
I recently had an old Abba album
and I thought "No!", | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
and then it became a notebook. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
But that's the way it goes. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Some of Vienna's famous
Christmas markets are also | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
getting in on the act. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
Trash design is on offer, alongside
the gingerbread and mulled wine. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
The workshop has its own stalls,
where products are on sale, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
often for pretty prices. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:14 | |
These items have come a long way
from the city's rubbish dumps | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
to the magnificent surroundings
of one of Austria's old royal | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
palaces, and when it comes
to Christmas presents this year, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
the designers are hoping that it
will be upcycling all the way. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:39 | |

Queen Elizabeth has been attending
the traditional Christmas Day | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
service along with other
members of the royal family | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
including Prince Harry
and his fiancee Meghan Markle. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
In her Christmas Day broadcast
the Queen paid tribute to the cities | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
of Manchester and London,
following this year's | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
terrorist attacks. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
It's a day for family,
with its own established pattern. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
For the Royal Family, that means
a visit to church, led by the Queen. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Very much at home already,
the Royal Family's soon-to-be newest | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
member, Meghan Markle. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
Alert to everything that was going
on and waiting for her cue | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
in terms of Royal protocol. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
A neat curtsy as
the Queen left by car. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Then walking across to speak
to members of the crowd who had | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
been hoping to meet her,
before lunch, and then | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
the Queen's Christmas broadcast. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:37 | |
The central message of this year's
broadcast | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
was one of solidarity
with two British cities. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
This Christmas, I think
of London and Manchester, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
whose powerful identities shone
through over the past 12 months | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
in the face of appalling attacks. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:54 | |
The Queen said it had been
a privilege to witness | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
the extraordinary bravery of young
people injured in | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
the Manchester attack. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Very wicked. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
To target that sort of thing.
Yes. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
She spoke too about what she called
the "sheer awfulness" | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:20 | |
Our thoughts and prayers
are with all those who died, | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
and those who lost so much. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:32 | |
And we are indebted to members
of the emergency services, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:38 | |
who risked their own lives this past
year saving others. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Television has made it possible
for many of you to see me | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
in your homes on Christmas Day. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
And there were personal touches. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
The Queen recalled that it's 60
years since she delivered the first | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
live Christmas Day TV broadcast. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
And that is how I imagine you now. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Six decades on, the presenter
has evolved somewhat. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
And it's 70 years since she and
the Duke of Edinburgh were married. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
He retired from solo
duties this year. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
But... | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
I know his support and unique sense
of humour will remain as strong | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
as ever as we enjoy spending time
this Christmas with our family, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
and look forward to welcoming
new members into it next year. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
A Christmas message which
acknowledges the passage of time, | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
but which reminds us that,
more than six decades now | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
after she came to the throne,
the Queen remains strongly committed | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
to her role as head of state. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:26 | |

Meanwhile, the US President Donald
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
have released a Christmas message. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:37 | |
Here's some of what
they had to say. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:46 | |
This Christmas season we celebrate
our blessings as Americans and we | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
pray for peace all over the world.
On behalf of Melania | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
pray for peace all over the world.
On behalf of Melania, myself, I do | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
barren, and the entire Trump family,
God bless you, God bless America, | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
and have a very Merry Christmas and
a happy New Year. -- Baron. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:11 | |
London's Euston Station has been
turned into a shelter | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
for the homeless, as rail workers
and charity staff served around 200 | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
rough sleepers a full
Christmas lunch today. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:23 | |
Caroline Davies reports. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
Festive preparation under
the departures board, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
as Network Rail volunteers prepare
for their homeless guests. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
They're part of our community,
they're here every day and I think | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
some places would maybe just shun
them away, but for us, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
they are an important
part of the community. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
They're here, we have to engage,
we have to look after them and make | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
sure that they're safe. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
Local charities invited 200 guests
to enjoy some festive music | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
and a four-course meal. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:46 | |
A meal which was only possible
thanks to the donations from 45 | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
different businesses and groups. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:50 | |
Jed has been squatting
since he was 18. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
It's unique. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
They've got this space
on Christmas Day, quite interesting | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
to see somewhere like this
on Christmas Day, see it | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
put to some good use. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:05 | |
Jesse now squats, too, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
but spent many years living
in a tent moving around the UK. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
It's nice.
It's a nice relaxing environment. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
It takes the usual chaos out
of our lives, you know? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:17 | |
As well as leaving well fed,
guests were also given sleeping bags | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
and thermal clothes to help them
endure the winter cold. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
For these guests, for now, some
Christmas cheer on the concourse. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:33 | |
France has also opened
up a train station | 0:23:44 | 0:23:45 | |
to a shelter for the homeless. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
A traditional Christmas dinner
was served for those in need. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
It was organised by the French
association The Poor People's | 0:23:52 | 0:24:01 | |
Younger Brothers and held
in the capital's Paris-Est station. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
Christmas is of course
is being marked in many different | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
ways around the world. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
Funnily enough, many celebrations
seem to involve water. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
Take a look. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:17 | |
It's a bit like English
weather here at the moment, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
but we're just delighted to be here. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
Lovely people, lovely atmosphere. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
I'm afraid we've got silly hats on,
but that's part of the deal. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:51 | |
Merry Christmas! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Well, obviously, tea
is incredibly British. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:00 | |
Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
CHEERING. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:10 | |
To where the wet weather lingers
overnight across parts of Scotland | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
and north-east England, some sleet
and snow even to low-level, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
temperatures dropping away, watch
out for icy patches into Scotland as | 0:25:50 | 0:25:57 | |
Boxing Day begins. Temperatures
close to freezing, maybe a field | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
below. Frost in some spots as well,
an indication of the changing feel | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
of the weather, much colder for all
of us as Boxing Day begins. Snow | 0:26:05 | 0:26:10 | |
petering out as it pushes south, as
the day goes on, frequent wintry | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
showers following into northern
Scotland. For many of us, sunnier, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:19 | |
called today than it has been but
there you go. Another area of heavy | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
rain pushing into south-east England
-- south-west England and South | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Wales. In the evening that will
field the North, and the risk of | 0:26:27 | 0:26:32 | |
more snow, as I will show you in a
moment. For many of us, this | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
indicates how much fine whether
there is during Boxing Day afternoon | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
if you plan a walk. Much sunnier for
the afternoon in the central belt, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:46 | |
southern Scotland, frequent showers,
and wind into northern Scotland. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Taking a look at this area of wet
weather feeding North. Parts of | 0:26:49 | 0:26:54 | |
Wales, the Midlands could well see
some sleet and snow developing as we | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
go through the evening on Boxing
Day. North of that, cold, frosty | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
night, I see in places, still
uncertainty about this area of rain, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
sleet and snow connected to this
area of low pressure as it pulls | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
away East going into Wednesday
morning. Cold air, rearward flank of | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
that system. Cold start on
Wednesday, temperatures, single | 0:27:14 | 0:27:19 | |
figures almost across-the-board.
Mixture of rain, sleet and snow | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
pulling away from eastern England.
Snow in the Chilterns, but then | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
plenty of sunny but cold weather
following on behind, still some | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
wintry showers in northern Scotland.
Frosty start on Thursday with | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
sunshine, brain preceded by snow in
places, and then turning mild again | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
for the weekend. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 |
