I'm Sharanjit Leyl.

0:00:040:00:06

Our top stories: Vladimir Putin's

supporters nominate him to run

0:00:060:00:08

as an independent candidate in next

year's Russian elections.

0:00:080:00:12

His political rival

is barred from standing.

0:00:120:00:22

A British woman sentenced to three

years in jail in Egypt for taking

0:00:220:00:26

painkillers into the country. Her

sister is concerned for her safety.

0:00:260:00:30

She's on the verge of a mental

breakdown and so my mum. It's just

0:00:300:00:35

horrendous.

0:00:350:00:37

Counting votes in Liberia's

0:00:370:00:38

presidential election,

where former world footballer

0:00:380:00:39

of the year, George Weah,

is seeking the country's top job.

0:00:390:00:44

And we hear from the mum who beat

the professionals to capture

0:00:440:00:47

a perfect snap of Britain's young

royals at their

0:00:470:00:49

Christmas Day service.

0:00:490:00:59

Hello and welcome to World News

Today.

0:01:030:01:05

A group of Russian electors

0:01:050:01:07

have formally given their support

to Vladimir Putin as a candidate in

0:01:070:01:09

next year's Presidential election.

0:01:100:01:13

Mr Putin is seeking a fourth term

in office, and will run

0:01:130:01:16

as an independent this time.

0:01:160:01:22

He still needs 300,000

signatures before his

0:01:230:01:25

nomination is confirmed.

0:01:250:01:27

On Monday, Putin's main rival,

opposition leader Alexei Navalny,

0:01:270:01:29

was barred from standing

in the election.

0:01:290:01:31

But the move has already prompted

a call for an opposition

0:01:310:01:34

boycott, and raised fears

about political pluralism.

0:01:340:01:36

From Moscow, Sarah

Rainsford reports.

0:01:360:01:46

It was a big gathering of big names.

Athletes, musicians and film-makers

0:01:460:01:51

all here to nominate their candidate

for president. Absent though was the

0:01:510:01:57

man himself, Vladimir Putin

apparently so confident of winning

0:01:570:02:00

this election he didn't turn up. It

didn't dampen the enthusiasm of his

0:02:000:02:10

supporters. They voted unanimously

to back Mr Putin for a fourth term.

0:02:100:02:17

TRANSLATION:

Our country has been

transformed from a country destroyed

0:02:170:02:22

and without a future into a really

powerful state.

Their candidate

0:02:220:02:31

meanwhile was here with children

invited to a New Year 's party at

0:02:310:02:34

the Kremlin. This was Vladimir Putin

the benevolent, thinking of the

0:02:340:02:43

future of his country. Earlier

Russians saw images of Putin the

0:02:430:02:48

powerful with his Cabinet. Here he

told a boy that running a country

0:02:480:02:55

like Russia wasn't hard. But after

18 years of him doing just that, the

0:02:550:03:00

Kremlin is struggling to inject real

energy into this election race to

0:03:000:03:04

ensure people come out to vote when

everything is so predictable. This

0:03:040:03:10

man is now planning to make their

task even harder. Alexei Navalny

0:03:100:03:15

calls himself the only real rival to

Mr Putin, but this week the popular

0:03:150:03:20

anti-corruption campaigner was ruled

out of the presidential race. He has

0:03:200:03:25

a criminal conviction he says is

politically motivated. TRANSLATION:

0:03:250:03:29

It's not about me, it's about the

fact that a candidate is needed who

0:03:290:03:33

will finally come to be election and

speak openly about everything that

0:03:330:03:36

happens in our country now, who will

describe our reality honestly.

0:03:360:03:42

Absence of prospects, poverty, I did

that, and that's why you don't want

0:03:420:03:47

to let me take part in the election.

So now Mr Navalny is calling for a

0:03:470:03:54

boycott of the whole process to

undermine its legitimacy. Mr Putin

0:03:540:03:58

won't be too worried unless that

boycott and any street protests

0:03:580:04:03

really grow. Otherwise he is betting

that his message of strength and

0:04:030:04:07

stability and plenty more images

like these will secure him another

0:04:070:04:11

six years in power. Sarah Raynsford,

BBC News, Moscow.

0:04:110:04:15

A British woman has been sentenced

to three years in an Egyptian prison

0:04:150:04:18

after being found guilty

of smuggling drugs into the country.

0:04:180:04:21

Laura Plummer, who's 33

and from Hull, was arrested

0:04:210:04:23

in October when she was found

carrying 290 tablets

0:04:230:04:25

of the painkiller,

Tramadol, in her suitcase.

0:04:250:04:27

Daniela Relph reports.

0:04:270:04:37

Laura Plan A's family and friends

say she is naive, not a criminal --

0:04:370:04:42

Laura Plummer. But today the shop

worker from powerless beginning a

0:04:420:04:47

three-year sentence in jail in

Egypt. Her mother, Roberta, and her

0:04:470:04:53

Egyptian partner, have been at court

to support her during the hearings

0:04:530:04:56

this week. Laura Plummer was

travelling to the red Sea resort of

0:04:560:05:00

her Garda to visit her husband Omar

in October when she was stopped by

0:05:000:05:04

the authorities. In her suitcase

were 290 tramadol tablets. A

0:05:040:05:10

painkiller legal on prescription in

Britain but banned in Egypt. She

0:05:100:05:19

said the tablets were for her

partner who suffers from severe back

0:05:190:05:21

pain. But she was arrested and has

been held since then in a communal

0:05:210:05:24

cell with up to 25 women. Her family

at home have described today's

0:05:240:05:30

sentence as horrendous.

She's just a

normal girl who works in Hull

0:05:300:05:35

sentence as horrendous.

She's just a

normal girl who works in Hull, she

0:05:350:05:36

sells clothes, she comes home and

watches telly, goes to bed, doesn't

0:05:360:05:39

drink or smoke or do anything, she

lives to go to Egypt, she loves

0:05:390:05:44

Egypt and Egyptian people, she's in

love with Omar, we just cannot

0:05:440:05:48

believe this has happened to her, we

are absolutely devastated.

Laura

0:05:480:05:58

Plummer had been going on holiday to

Egypt's red Sea resorts for several

0:05:580:06:01

years, but for her supporters, she

has been let down by the country she

0:06:010:06:04

loved.

This woman doesn't deserve to

be in incarcerated in an Egyptian

0:06:040:06:07

prison and to be honest, as much as

I respect the customs and laws of

0:06:070:06:11

Egypt and the judiciary, and

everything else, this will put

0:06:110:06:15

people off travelling on holiday to

Egypt in the future, and I think the

0:06:150:06:20

Egyptian authorities need to be

mindful of that.

The Egyptian legal

0:06:200:06:26

system is complex. Laura Plummer

will now appeal the three-year

0:06:260:06:30

sentence. A jail term her family say

is shocking and unjust.

0:06:300:06:36

Let's take a look at some of

the other stories making the news.

0:06:360:06:39

Angry Kosovans hung hundreds

of neckties on the fence

0:06:390:06:41

outside the government's

headquarters on Tuesday.

0:06:410:06:43

This after Prime Minister Ramush

Haradinaj said he was justified

0:06:430:06:46

to double his own salary

because wearing smart clothes

0:06:460:06:48

was part of his job.

0:06:480:06:49

He sparked outrage by passing

a measure raising his salary

0:06:490:06:51

from about 1,800 dollars

to 3,500 dollars a month.

0:06:510:06:59

A Peruvian football official accused

of taking bribes has been cleared

0:06:590:07:01

by a jury in the US.

0:07:010:07:03

Manuel Burga, who led

football in Peru until 2014,

0:07:030:07:05

was accused of taking cash

in exchange for distributing

0:07:050:07:07

marketing and media

rights to matches.

0:07:070:07:09

Two other South American football

officials were convicted

0:07:090:07:11

by the same jury on Friday.

0:07:110:07:21

Polls have closed in Liberia's

delayed presidential run-off.

0:07:210:07:23

It's hoped the election will see

the country's first smooth

0:07:230:07:26

democratic transition

of power in 73 years.

0:07:260:07:28

Voters are choosing

between the former international

0:07:280:07:35

footballer George Weah,

seen here, casting his vote,

0:07:350:07:37

and current vice

president, Joseph Boakai.

0:07:370:07:38

Mr Weah won the first

round but did not secure the 50%

0:07:380:07:41

needed for an outright victory.

0:07:410:07:42

Both candidates said

they were confident they would win.

0:07:420:07:44

Our correspondent Umaru Fofana

reports from near Monrovia.

0:07:440:07:54

I am here at a high school just

outside Monrovia. During the first

0:07:560:08:03

ballot on the 10th of October, this

place was teeming with long queues

0:08:030:08:08

of photos waiting patiently to cast

their ballot this time of day. Today

0:08:080:08:13

they are coming in only in trickles.

We are not sure why this apparent

0:08:130:08:18

low turnout is, but civil service

election observers say it could be

0:08:180:08:23

attributable to the fact that there

was legal wrangling for today's vote

0:08:230:08:26

which meant campaigning was very

brief, just a few days, and also

0:08:260:08:30

they say it is a two horse race, two

candidates as opposed to the 20 in

0:08:300:08:35

October as well as the parliamentary

candidates not here this time. As

0:08:350:08:39

you can see the election officials

here are not as busy today as they

0:08:390:08:44

were in October. This is a sample I

have seen of polling stations in

0:08:440:08:51

underground Monro via. It is not

clear whether this apparent low

0:08:510:08:56

turnout will favour other

candidates. Umaru Fofana, BBC News,

0:08:560:09:01

just outside Monrovia.

0:09:010:09:09

Once a key industry in many

countries around the world,

0:09:090:09:11

cotton spinning has made a return

here in the UK.

0:09:110:09:14

A Manchester mill is the only

textile factory to spin

0:09:140:09:16

cotton commercially again.

0:09:160:09:17

Judith Moritz followed

the whole process.

0:09:170:09:19

Fresh off the boat from California,

Cotton has come back to its

0:09:190:09:23

spiritual home. Refurbished and

re-energised, this Manchester mill

0:09:230:09:28

is the first in the UK to spin

commercially again. For the first

0:09:280:09:35

time in 50 years, Cotton is in full

production.

It's really really

0:09:350:09:40

engaged the weavers and finishes and

dyers to pull together and forge

0:09:400:09:45

those chains back again, and there

is honestly an enormous appetite for

0:09:450:09:51

provenance and British made.

We are

following the process as the cotton

0:09:510:09:57

spun here finds its way from the

bail to the clothes hanger. From its

0:09:570:10:04

raw state to spun yarn...

0:10:040:10:05

That's for you. What happens now?

We

are going to turn it into the dye

0:10:110:10:16

house put it on a stand, bleach it,

diet and dry it.

This yarn diet is

0:10:160:10:24

used to source -- dyers used a

source it's got an overseas, now

0:10:240:10:27

Tony travel 30 miles. Turn pink,

it's time to take the yarn up to

0:10:270:10:33

Burnley to be woven. The

resurrection of a cotton process

0:10:330:10:37

comes at a good time for the

industry. BBC News and the trade

0:10:370:10:42

body make it British spoke to almost

100 textile businesses to see how

0:10:420:10:48

their 27 in has-been. 30% say they

are exporting more British made

0:10:480:10:53

goods than last year. There is

concern about the age of the

0:10:530:10:56

workforce. Two thirds have staff

whose average age is over 40. But

0:10:560:11:00

overall the news is positive. 50%

are turning over more than a year

0:11:000:11:04

ago. The factory weaving our pink

cloth is a good example.

It's really

0:11:040:11:14

healthy on the books, so the next

six months is looking great. So much

0:11:140:11:18

so that we are now having to put on

extra shifts and recruit additional

0:11:180:11:22

staff.

Here you are. Back in

Manchester are cloth is ready to be

0:11:220:11:27

made into a shirt. Cut, pressed,

stitched, and finished at this

0:11:270:11:34

factory, one of the few of its kind

to survive.

I don't think we will

0:11:340:11:39

ever see a return to the halcyon

days of cotton but there is huge

0:11:390:11:43

opportunities for businesses and

brands like ours to create

0:11:430:11:48

sustainable, viable and ultimately

profitable businesses by making them

0:11:480:11:51

in the UK and selling to an

international market.

Spun, died,

0:11:510:11:58

woven and stitched, the cotton

process has been sewn back together

0:11:580:12:02

again. Our journey behind the scenes

ends with a shirt made from local

0:12:020:12:06

yarn. Judith Moritz, BBC News,

Manchester.

0:12:060:12:13

Stay with us on BBC

World News, still to come:

0:12:130:12:16

English footballer, Harry Kane,

smashes a 22-year-old record

0:12:160:12:18

for most Premier League goals scored

in a calendar year.

0:12:180:12:25

We saw this enormous tidal wave

approaching the beach, and people

0:12:300:12:35

started to run, and suddenly it was

complete chaos.

US troops have been

0:12:350:12:42

trying to overthrow the dictatorship

of General Noriega. The Pentagon

0:12:420:12:46

said it was 90% successful but

failed in its principal objective to

0:12:460:12:50

capture Noriega and taken to the USA

on drugs charges.

The hammer and

0:12:500:12:55

sickle was hastily taken away, the

Russian flag hoisted over what is

0:12:550:12:58

now no longer the Sobhi unit but the

Commonwealth of Independent States.

0:12:580:13:02

Day broke slowly over Lockerbie,

over the cockpit nose down in the

0:13:020:13:09

earth. You could see what happens

when a plane eight stories high, a

0:13:090:13:13

football pitch wide, falls from

30,000 feet.

Christmas has returned

0:13:130:13:18

to Albania after a common spam

lasting more than 20 years.

0:13:180:13:21

Thousands went to midnight mass in

this town where there were

0:13:210:13:25

anti-Communist riots ten days ago.

0:13:250:13:31

This is BBC World News Today.

0:13:330:13:35

The latest headlines:

Vladimir Putin's supporters nominate

0:13:350:13:36

him to run as an independent

candidate in next year's elections.

0:13:360:13:39

His political rival

is barred from standing.

0:13:390:13:41

A British woman has been sentenced

to three years in jail in Egypt

0:13:410:13:44

for taking painkillers

into the country.

0:13:440:13:54

English footballer, Harry Kane,

has set a new record of 39 goals

0:13:560:14:01

in the Premier League in a calendar

year doing it in style,

0:14:010:14:04

with a hat trick at Wembley.

0:14:040:14:07

Kane headed in a free kick

from Christian Eriksen to give

0:14:070:14:10

Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 lead over

Southampton and break

0:14:100:14:12

Alan Shearer's 22-year-old record.

0:14:120:14:13

A second goal followed just before

half time as he swept

0:14:130:14:15

in a cross from Son Heung-min.

0:14:160:14:17

And midway through the second half,

Son was again provider,

0:14:170:14:19

as Kane completed his hat trick

with a delicate chip

0:14:190:14:22

over the keeper.

0:14:220:14:23

That takes his haul for club

and country to 56 goals,

0:14:230:14:25

making him the leading goalscorer

in Europe for 2017.

0:14:250:14:34

Earlier the BBC spoke

to Bradley Allen.

0:14:340:14:36

He has been a coach at Spurs

for 13 years, and coached

0:14:360:14:39

Harry Kane as a youngster.

0:14:390:14:40

He also witnessed Harry Kane

make history at Wembley

0:14:400:14:42

as a co-commentator for BBC Radio

London.

0:14:420:14:48

My colleague Geeta Guru-Murthy

began by asking him

0:14:480:14:50

what he made of his new record?

0:14:500:14:58

It's a remarkable achievement, and

something that all of Tottenham

0:14:580:15:01

Hotspur supporters, everyone

connected with the club, the Academy

0:15:010:15:05

and all the coaches and people who

have worked with Harry on this

0:15:050:15:08

incredible journey he is on, it it

has been an outstanding 2017.

Have

0:15:080:15:15

you spoken to them or has anyone

heard from him since?

I have not had

0:15:150:15:19

the opportunity to watch him live

this afternoon working in my media

0:15:190:15:25

capacity -- I watched him live, and

having seen him develop and worked

0:15:250:15:30

with him as a 14, 15-year-old and go

from strength to strength and become

0:15:300:15:37

the goal-scoring expert he now is,

and to break the Alan Shearer record

0:15:370:15:43

himself was one of the finest of his

generation -- who was one of the

0:15:430:15:49

finest of his generation, it is an

unbelievable achievement.

Did you

0:15:490:15:52

spot it early, whether signs there?

Well, Harry showed glimpses. I think

0:15:520:16:01

one of the biggest condiments I

could give him was that he was just

0:16:010:16:04

a fantastic learner, just a small

part that all the coaches played

0:16:040:16:09

along the way ahead of our academy,

John McDermott, deserve an awful lot

0:16:090:16:15

of credit as well. We were patient

with him, and obviously since

0:16:150:16:20

Pocchetino came to the club, he has

allowed Harry to blossom and

0:16:200:16:27

flourish as a footballer.

Can you

explain what it is exactly that he

0:16:270:16:31

does so well, is its strength also

beat all skill, what is it then

0:16:310:16:36

makes him so good?

I think he

doubled up any tips or ideas he was

0:16:360:16:45

given he would be prepared to work

on those aspects of his game and

0:16:450:16:48

more. I think a player of Frank

Lampard's magnitude, Frank was one

0:16:480:16:58

who got the maximum out of the

ability he had, and similarly with

0:16:580:17:04

young Harry. He comes from a

tremendously stable, very supportive

0:17:040:17:09

family, he's just a lovely, humble

young man, and he's a real credit to

0:17:090:17:14

himself and the people around him.

How big is his future career

0:17:140:17:18

potentially, do you think?

This

achievement is exceptional and I

0:17:180:17:24

think the Tottenham supporters will

be really hoping that in future

0:17:240:17:28

years the new stadium on the horizon

in 2018, that Harry Kane will be

0:17:280:17:37

playing his best football at that

new venue. I think you have the

0:17:370:17:41

World Cup in Russia of course next

summer, and to be truly regarded as

0:17:410:17:47

one of the greats, Harry would most

definitely know that he would have

0:17:470:17:51

to to achieve and produce at the

biggest tournaments, so I think he

0:17:510:17:56

will be looking forward to that, but

first and foremost he loves playing

0:17:560:18:00

for Tottenham Hotspur and just

thoroughly enjoys scoring goals.

0:18:000:18:06

Cricket and on the opening day

of the Boxing Day test

0:18:060:18:09

between Australia and England

in Melbourne, Australia's batsmen

0:18:090:18:10

have made the visitors work hard.

0:18:110:18:12

Australia elected to bat

on a slow wicket and by close

0:18:120:18:15

of play they'd reached 244-3.

0:18:150:18:17

David Warner scored 103 and captain

Steve Smith is unbeaten on 65.

0:18:170:18:20

Patrick Gearey reports, from outside

the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

0:18:200:18:29

The Boxing Day test is a day of

national celebration for Australia.

0:18:340:18:37

Given they have won the Ashes

already, it would always be a tough

0:18:370:18:41

day for England and they knew it

would get tougher when they lost the

0:18:410:18:45

toss and got put into field on a day

which suited the batting side. The

0:18:450:18:49

weather was hot, the pitch flat, and

David Warner smashed the ball as he

0:18:490:18:54

got Australia to 100 by the lunch

interval. England brought it back

0:18:540:18:58

getting rid of Bancroft, thought

they got rid of one run 99 when he

0:18:580:19:01

locked up a catch which would have

given the first Test wicket to Tom

0:19:010:19:06

Curran. Unfortunately he had

overstepped the line and it was a no

0:19:060:19:10

ball, came Warner, next ball went to

his century and the MCG roared in

0:19:100:19:14

approval. Warner didn't last much

longer, caught behind off Anderson,

0:19:140:19:18

then Stuart Broad got rid of the

Usman Khawaja and his nick next ball

0:19:180:19:22

thought he got rid of Marsh LBW. The

umpire said no and the review backed

0:19:220:19:27

it. A big moment because Marge then

batted through with Captain Steve

0:19:270:19:40

Smith to the close. Smith unbeaten,

beginning to look unbeatable.

0:19:410:19:43

England need to find a way of

getting him out but this picture is

0:19:430:19:45

very slow and hard work for the

bowlers. This Test match might be

0:19:450:19:48

decided by which team makes the most

mistakes and unfortunately for

0:19:480:19:50

England they have made more of them

in this Ashes Series.

0:19:500:19:52

Formula One world champion

Lewis Hamilton has apologised

0:19:520:19:56

after sharing a video on Instagram

criticising his nephew

0:19:560:19:58

for wearing a dress.

0:19:580:19:59

In the video, which has since been

deleted, the Formula 1 driver says

0:19:590:20:02

"boys don't wear princess dresses".

0:20:020:20:03

The post was then the subject

of an online backlash.

0:20:030:20:06

Hamilton later made an apology

in a series of tweets,

0:20:060:20:08

calling his behaviour unacceptable.

0:20:080:20:09

Peru is divided over

the legacy of its former

0:20:090:20:11

president, Alberto Fujimori.

0:20:110:20:17

Some see him as the man

who saved Peru from economic

0:20:170:20:19

collapse and communism.

0:20:190:20:20

To others, he was a ruthless

autocrat who authorised

0:20:200:20:22

death squad killings.

0:20:230:20:24

He had been serving a 25-year prison

term for human rights abuses.

0:20:240:20:33

But the current President,

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski,

0:20:330:20:35

has granted him a medical pardon.

0:20:350:20:36

In a video posted to Facebook,

Fujimori said he's deeply grateful.

0:20:360:20:39

Take a look.

0:20:390:20:46

TRANSLATION:

This has had a strong

impact on me. I have mixed feelings

0:20:460:20:51

of extreme joy and at the same time

sorrow. I am aware the results

0:20:510:20:55

produced by my government were well

received by some but I recognise

0:20:550:20:59

that I have let others down. To them

I ask forgiveness from the bottom of

0:20:590:21:03

my heart.

Michael Reid is a senior editor

on Latin America at The Economist.

0:21:040:21:06

He joins me from Lima.

0:21:060:21:11

Welcome to the programme. As I

mentioned, you are in Lima right

0:21:110:21:15

now. We know thousands have taken to

the streets to protest. Tell us what

0:21:150:21:20

the mood feels like there right now.

I think the announcement that former

0:21:200:21:28

president Fujimori would be

pardoned, which came at seven

0:21:280:21:33

o'clock on Christmas Eve, the main

celebration here, was a huge

0:21:330:21:38

surprise to people. Demonstrators

took to the streets on Christmas Day

0:21:380:21:41

in quite large numbers. I think

there will be continuing protests

0:21:410:21:44

but I think just as important will

be the reaction of political opinion

0:21:440:21:49

here, and indeed internationally.

As

you mentioned, here's a divisive

0:21:490:21:56

figure, and many protesters believe

this pardon was somehow illegally

0:21:560:21:59

brought about. What is the general

opinion amongst people you are

0:21:590:22:03

talking to?

It was always going to

be controversial relating to Alberto

0:22:030:22:10

Fujimori. He has been in jail for

more than ten years and was found

0:22:100:22:14

guilty in an exemplary process of

human rights violations and

0:22:140:22:17

corruption, but the circumstances in

which the pardon came about are very

0:22:170:22:27

suspicious too many Peruvians

because it came just three days

0:22:270:22:31

after a vote in Congress in which

President Kuczynski survived an

0:22:310:22:39

attempt to impeach him thanks to the

abstention of ten Fujimori

0:22:390:22:44

supporting congresspeople led by his

son. So it looks to many Peruvians

0:22:440:22:51

like quid pro quo, and a rather

sordid one, however much the

0:22:510:22:55

government claims its main

motivation was that it was worried

0:22:550:23:00

by Fujimori's deteriorating health

and didn't want him to die in jail.

0:23:000:23:04

To what extent do you think the

current government and President

0:23:040:23:08

Kuczynski are in a weakened state as

a result of all this?

He is an

0:23:080:23:14

extremely weakened state, there is

no doubt about that. He only

0:23:140:23:19

survived, just, the attempt to

impeach him, which was, one has to

0:23:190:23:24

say, an attempt at political

vengeance by the Fujimori supporting

0:23:240:23:32

majority in Congress. He has only a

small group of supporters in the

0:23:320:23:36

Congress. He survived that vote by

appealing to the countries as a

0:23:360:23:43

Democrat being faced with a

parliamentary coup by what he

0:23:430:23:48

portrayed as the undemocratic

Fujimoristas. People who gave him

0:23:480:23:53

the benefit of the doubt and

supported him now feel he betrayed

0:23:530:24:00

them by immediately turning round

and pardoning Alberto Fujimori. I

0:24:000:24:04

feel if this had happened in more

normal circumstances the reaction

0:24:040:24:07

might have been slightly different.

Thank you for joining us.

Out of all the photographers waiting

to snap a picture of the royal

0:24:130:24:16

family at the Christmas Day service

in Sandringham, it was a mum

0:24:160:24:19

from Norfolk who managed to capture

the perfect image on her phone.

0:24:190:24:22

The photograph taken

by Karen Murdoch has now been

0:24:220:24:24

used by publications

from all over the world.

0:24:240:24:26

Mike Cartwright reports.

0:24:260:24:33

The photograph that's gone

everywhere. The picture that

0:24:330:24:38

everybody wanted. Taken not by the

press pack or a royal photographer

0:24:380:24:42

but Karen at Sandringham with her

daughter on her phone. The two of

0:24:420:24:47

them and their dog back there today.

That picture all over the papers.

It

0:24:470:24:55

wasn't intentional, it just captured

the right moment at that time, so

0:24:550:24:59

there was no planning, it was just

fun, it was lovely, I caught the

0:24:590:25:04

moment and it was great.

Somewhere

in the crowd the two had been here

0:25:040:25:08

on Christmas Day before but they

wanted to see Meghan. Walking to

0:25:080:25:12

church, the Duke and Duchess of

Cambridge, Prince Harry

Haryanto

0:25:120:25:17

Meghan Markle. Karen never dreamt

she would get this, a picture that

0:25:170:25:22

may go down in history and help pay

her daughter's college fees.

I don't

0:25:220:25:26

know how much I am expected to get.

A bit I am told. Anything, for me,

0:25:260:25:32

when someone offered me £50 I was

like, yes! 50 quid, I was just so...

0:25:320:25:39

But it's going to go on my daughter,

I work for my daughter, my pride and

0:25:390:25:44

joy.

I think it's fantastic. I think

my mum deserves it. I know she

0:25:440:25:50

didn't do it intentionally but good

things happen to good people.

Good

0:25:500:25:54

for her, great snap. You've been

watching World News Today. Thanks

0:25:540:25:57

for watching.
