0:01:04 > 0:01:06North Korea's leader says his country's nuclear weapons

0:01:06 > 0:01:09are a "reality, not a threat" and the entire US mainland

0:01:09 > 0:01:14is a target.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16In sport, the winning run is over.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19And it takes an injury time penalty save to preserve Manchester City's

0:01:19 > 0:01:21unbeaten record this season as they're given a scare

0:01:21 > 0:01:27at the Palace.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Happy New Year. Starting off with a lot of showers around, wet and windy

0:01:55 > 0:01:59in places but we should season sunshine into the afternoon. The

0:01:59 > 0:02:03start of 2018 is looking unsettled the rest of the week. I will have

0:02:03 > 0:02:05more in 15 minutes.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Good morning and happy new year.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08First, our main story.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Millions of people around the world have been celebrating

0:02:10 > 0:02:11the start of 2018.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13More than 100,000 ticketholders watched London's midnight firework

0:02:13 > 0:02:16show from the banks of the River Thames,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18and Hogmanay celebrations went ahead in Edinburgh,

0:02:18 > 0:02:19despite earlier travel and weather concerns,

0:02:19 > 0:02:28as Simon Clemison reports.

0:02:28 > 0:02:34It was one party big Ben really couldn't miss. BONG. Timings of the

0:02:34 > 0:02:37new year despite being silenced at the moment while repairs are carried

0:02:37 > 0:02:50out. Q 12,000 fireworks. Whatever you did to finish 2017, whatever you

0:02:50 > 0:02:55are doing to start 2018, are these 11 minutes and 15 second in the

0:02:55 > 0:03:05middle here in London when you look up and forget to breathe. The

0:03:05 > 0:03:09soundtrack dominated by female artist, the centenary of women

0:03:09 > 0:03:18beginning to get the vote one way this year will be defined. What does

0:03:18 > 0:03:252018 hole to you? Best year ever! Why is that? A levels, starting our

0:03:25 > 0:03:31careers.We will get into university.Do you want to look at

0:03:31 > 0:03:39my kilts?In Scotland, Storm Dylan had been an unwelcome party guest

0:03:39 > 0:03:42during the day but given the importance of Hogmanay it would take

0:03:42 > 0:03:46a lot to spoil the celebrations, even though winds of more than 70

0:03:46 > 0:03:51miles an hour had hit some parts. In Sydney, another quiet night, the

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Harbour bridge somewhere in this pic just. Rainbow colours, a tribute to

0:03:56 > 0:04:03Australia's legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2017. This city after

0:04:03 > 0:04:07city around the world running the new year, Hong Kong erupted, Athens

0:04:07 > 0:04:14glowed. And Moscow sparkled. Still some countries to go but now New

0:04:14 > 0:04:19York has marked the moment, the last inhabited island American Samoa will

0:04:19 > 0:04:21celebrate 25 hours after neighbouring islands first began the

0:04:21 > 0:04:25party.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29What the celebrations all around the world. We have some sad news to

0:04:29 > 0:04:34bring you from Australia, five British citizens who died when a

0:04:34 > 0:04:38seaplane crashed on New Year's Eve has been named. The Australian pilot

0:04:38 > 0:04:42also died after crashing into a river 30 miles north of Sydney. I've

0:04:42 > 0:04:47to New South Wales this morning and Phil Mercer is our correspondent. We

0:04:47 > 0:04:50are watching the scene is a celebration around the world moments

0:04:50 > 0:04:55ago but a real sense of tragedy there this morning.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Yes, it is what the Australian police have been telling us today,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02it is an absolute tragedy that a family who had travelled halfway

0:05:02 > 0:05:07around the world from Britain only to die in one of the most dutiful

0:05:07 > 0:05:12places on the planet. The victims have been identified as 58-year-old

0:05:12 > 0:05:17Richard Cousins, he was a very successful businessman, chief

0:05:17 > 0:05:20executive of compass, the largest catering group in the world, he was

0:05:20 > 0:05:26a former board member of Tesco and due to retire in March. He died

0:05:26 > 0:05:31alongside two sons in their early and mid- 20s. Also on board, Emma

0:05:31 > 0:05:37Bowden, she was Mr cousins Beyonce and she died alongside her

0:05:37 > 0:05:4411-year-old daughter, so the police trying to establish how and why this

0:05:44 > 0:05:49accident could happen on a routine flight from Jerusalem Bay to Sydney

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Harbour -- miss the cut's brother.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Scores of people who had travelled to Liverpool to celebrate

0:05:55 > 0:05:59the New Year have had to spend the night in a temporary shelter

0:05:59 > 0:06:03after a fire in a multi-storey car park next to the city's Echo arena

0:06:03 > 0:06:04destroyed more than 1,000 vehicles.

0:06:04 > 0:06:13Steve Saul reports.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17The fire is thought to have started in one vehicle on the third floor of

0:06:17 > 0:06:21the car park will stop emergency services arrived within minutes but

0:06:21 > 0:06:25the flames quickly spread to other floors. Police say 1400 cars had

0:06:25 > 0:06:29been destroyed. Up to 4000 people are thought to have been left

0:06:29 > 0:06:33stranded in the city. The arena on the city 's waterfront was hosting

0:06:33 > 0:06:37the Liverpool International horse show, no spectators or animals had

0:06:37 > 0:06:43been injured.My car.All of our belongings in it.Everything. We

0:06:43 > 0:06:48hear from Northern Ireland, my suitcase, all of my things in it,

0:06:48 > 0:06:52all gone.Merseyside Fire and Rescue said it is one of the biggest fires

0:06:52 > 0:06:55that have ever dealt with with crews working under challenging conditions

0:06:55 > 0:06:59from the outside of the building because of a real fear of structural

0:06:59 > 0:07:02collapse.The difficulty that we have is because this is so

0:07:02 > 0:07:07deep-seated, is to physically be able to get into, right into the

0:07:07 > 0:07:13middle of the building to put the fire out which clearly is the extent

0:07:13 > 0:07:18of which the fire has taken hold fair, we will not be able to do that

0:07:18 > 0:07:21quite some time, given the structural stability issues with the

0:07:21 > 0:07:26building as well.Liverpool City Council are expected to help make

0:07:26 > 0:07:30arrangements to get those who have been left in the city back home

0:07:30 > 0:07:33later. Temperate parking arrangements have been made the

0:07:33 > 0:07:36arena operate as normal.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40The North Korean leader has said that he has a nuclear button

0:07:40 > 0:07:43-- Britain's trains are the oldest since current records began,

0:07:43 > 0:07:45according to figures from a transport watchdog.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Passengers are travelling in carriages which were typically

0:07:47 > 0:07:48built in the mid 1990s.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51The Office of Rail and Road says older rolling stock can lead

0:07:51 > 0:07:53to problems with reliability and poorer performance.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56The Department for Transport says 4,500 new carriages will be

0:07:56 > 0:08:03introduced across Britain by 2024.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05The President of Iran has appealed for calm,

0:08:05 > 0:08:09saying people would have the right to protest but not to commit acts

0:08:09 > 0:08:10of violence, amid continuing anti-government protests.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12In his first public comments since demonstrations

0:08:12 > 0:08:14against the government began on Thursday, Hassan Rouhani warned

0:08:14 > 0:08:24that violence and public disorder would not be tolerated.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28TRANSLATION:

0:08:28 > 0:08:32The atmosphere for criticism, protest within a legal framework is

0:08:32 > 0:08:36absolutely free but the atmosphere for destruction and the rest is

0:08:36 > 0:08:39definitely not an atmosphere which people would tolerate.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42The North Korean leader has said that he has a nuclear button

0:08:42 > 0:08:43on his desk.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46In a defiant New Year message, Kim Jong-un said the United States

0:08:46 > 0:08:49would now never be able to start a war with North Korea.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Our correspondent Sophie Long is in the South Korean capital Seoul

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Our correspondent Sophie Long is in the South Korean capital Seoul

0:08:55 > 0:08:56for us this morning.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Sophie, will this just be seen as another in a long line of threats

0:09:00 > 0:09:04against the US?

0:09:04 > 0:09:10I think in terms of his message, to the United States, there was nothing

0:09:10 > 0:09:14new, and other defined message saying we have a nuclear capability

0:09:14 > 0:09:18that can strike anywhere on mainland. He also said I have a

0:09:18 > 0:09:22nuclear button my desk. Does he have the capability to strike the US

0:09:22 > 0:09:26mainland in the way that he has posted about? The answer is we don't

0:09:26 > 0:09:31know. When he carried out the sixth and most powerful nuclear test in

0:09:31 > 0:09:35September 2017 and he carried out a test launch of an intercontinental

0:09:35 > 0:09:39ballistic missile Mr Bob with missile which he said could strike

0:09:39 > 0:09:43anywhere on the mainland. Whether he has the ability to miniaturising

0:09:43 > 0:09:47nuclear capability and put it on a missile that can reach the United

0:09:47 > 0:09:50States, we don't yet know although many people and analysts think it

0:09:50 > 0:09:54may not be far off doing that. It was slightly more surprising if he

0:09:54 > 0:09:58had a much more consolatory tone towards South Korea, his neighbour

0:09:58 > 0:10:04but also the United States's ally. He said to them that he was open to

0:10:04 > 0:10:07dialogue and debate even consider sending North Korean athletes to the

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Winter Olympics which are due to take place in South Korea in

0:10:10 > 0:10:13February which is important to the government here, President Moon has

0:10:13 > 0:10:17said it to happen he thinks it could be a turning point in relations with

0:10:17 > 0:10:19North Korea.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23A small passenger plane has crashed in a tourist area of Costa Rica,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25killing 10 Americans and two local pilots.

0:10:25 > 0:10:33It was travelling to the capital San Jose from the mountainous region

0:10:33 > 0:10:36of Punta Islita, near Bejuco, an area popular with tourists

0:10:36 > 0:10:37on the Pacific coast.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40The cause of the crash is not yet known.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Local reports say five of the passengers shared

0:10:42 > 0:10:43the same surname.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46The Archbishop of Canterbury has paid tribute to emergency workers

0:10:46 > 0:10:48in his New Year's Day message.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52Justin Welby said 2018 could be defined either by human suffering

0:10:52 > 0:10:53or the compassionate response to it.

0:10:53 > 0:11:05Here's our religion editor Martin Bashir.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09To the unrelenting dedication of the emergency services, Archbishop

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Justin Welby chose the London ambulance headquarters in Waterloo

0:11:12 > 0:11:17to deliver his New Year message. And he began by describing the Terara

0:11:17 > 0:11:21attack on nearby London Bridge and Borough Market.On the third of June

0:11:21 > 0:11:25as the terrifying events unfolded on London Bridge and in Borough Market,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29staff took over the 100 calls from those caught in the atrocities.He

0:11:29 > 0:11:34went on to catalogue other terror attacks at Manchester, Westminster,

0:11:34 > 0:11:39Finsbury Park and Parsons Green, along with the tragedy at Grenfell

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Tower.I visited Grenfell Tower while it was still burning, I

0:11:43 > 0:11:49remember the desperation and sorrow. Alright? Visiting Borough Market six

0:11:49 > 0:11:53months after the attack, Justin Welby witnessed the recovery of a

0:11:53 > 0:11:57community that, like others, has inspired the nation. In concluding

0:11:57 > 0:12:03his message, the Archbishop of what would define us in the year ahead?

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Will it be the depth of suffering or the breadth of compassion? The

0:12:08 > 0:12:13darkness or the light of human kindness?It is a choice. But not

0:12:13 > 0:12:18one we have to make a loan. Jesus Christ, the light of the world,

0:12:18 > 0:12:22weeks for all struggles, works for our healing, and invites us to walk

0:12:22 > 0:12:27in his light. He is right there with us in the midst of everything. May I

0:12:27 > 0:12:36wish you all a very happy New Year. Martin Bashir, BBC News, Borough

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Market, London.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Special coins marking 100-year anniversaries of women getting

0:12:39 > 0:12:42the right to vote and the end of the First World War

0:12:46 > 0:12:51since the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52The two-pound coin, marking the anniversary

0:12:52 > 0:12:57of the First World War Armistice, features a quote from Wilfred Owen's

0:12:57 > 0:12:59poem Strange Meeting, which says "the truth untold,

0:12:59 > 0:13:05the pity of war".

0:13:05 > 0:13:10That's this morning's main stories.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32the view from the Thames, the London eye and all of the fireworks going

0:13:32 > 0:13:42off beyond it. The Daily Telegraph has textures from, but looks like

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Sydney, the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is. Red sky at night New Year 's

0:13:46 > 0:13:51delight. The main story on the front of the Daily Telegraph today is

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Winter flu plunges hospitals into chaos. But is their main story. The

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Times has a slightly more personal, a smaller picture I guess, 2018 lit

0:14:00 > 0:14:05up a sparklers in Edinburgh by some of revellers there. It says here

0:14:05 > 0:14:09about jobs and house prices up big at the start of 2018. Some of the

0:14:09 > 0:14:14tabloids now. The sun has the terrible story from Australia of the

0:14:14 > 0:14:19British people, five actually have been confirmed to have died in the

0:14:19 > 0:14:23seaplane crash, the front page there. The Mirror has a campaign,

0:15:42 > 0:15:47The first one of 2018. Happy New Year. This week is looking pretty

0:15:47 > 0:15:53unsettled. More on that in a moment. Today, a lot of wind.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55unsettled. More on that in a moment. Today, a lot of wind. Rain at times.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00Improving to the afternoon. Low pressure across the north of the UK.

0:16:00 > 0:16:06This will bring wet weather through the English Channel. Fairly strong

0:16:06 > 0:16:11winds across southern counties of England. The extent of the rain,

0:16:11 > 0:16:19south Wales, towards the M4 corridor. Going east. To the north,

0:16:19 > 0:16:26dry weather with sunshine this morning. Wet and windy weather in

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland. Cold air. Snow falling

0:16:30 > 0:16:37over the high ground. Continuing to move away, the low pressure, towards

0:16:37 > 0:16:40the near continent, eventually clearing the south-east. Sunshine

0:16:40 > 0:16:45behind. Not a bad afternoon. Wet and windy weather in the north of the UK

0:16:45 > 0:16:50and in northern England as well. Quite chilly. Improving towards

0:16:50 > 0:16:55tonight to be a ridge of high pressure building in. A perfect

0:16:55 > 0:17:00recipe for a chilly night. Something we have not seen in a few nights.

0:17:00 > 0:17:06Frost and ice in central and northern Scotland. Changing across

0:17:06 > 0:17:10the west. The next area of low pressure comes in through the

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Not

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Not content with all the frivolities last night.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35southern States of America, mainly from Texas, rehearsing for the

0:18:35 > 0:18:41annual parade kicking off today. About 8000 performers and half a

0:18:41 > 0:18:45million people are expected on the streets of London. You carry onward

0:18:45 > 0:18:49Ching the girls and I will talk to the director of the parade. Good

0:18:49 > 0:19:02morning. -- watching.This has been going on for 30 years. We started

0:19:02 > 0:19:09this because London was a grim place at this time of year. We wanted to

0:19:09 > 0:19:13liven up the city. Not only that, we wanted something the whole family

0:19:13 > 0:19:22could do to celebrate the new year. New Year's is a bit of a drunken

0:19:22 > 0:19:29event.What are some of the highlights?We have the fabulous

0:19:29 > 0:19:32marching bands from the US and all over the world. We have

0:19:32 > 0:19:48cheerleaders. We have all of the competition, including floats, and

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Showtime! Roll up, roll up, to the greatest show on Earth.Here is the

0:19:52 > 0:19:56marching band. They are from Troy, Ohio. You will notice that the

0:19:56 > 0:20:01people we have with us are from America. But there are floats and

0:20:01 > 0:20:05marching bands and cheerleaders from all over London and all over the

0:20:05 > 0:20:11world. And here is Kathy from Ohio, the band leader. You are the

0:20:11 > 0:20:17bandleader, correct?Yes. It is be in London. We are looking forward to

0:20:17 > 0:20:26the parade today. -- It is awesome to be.And you are from?Troy, Ohio.

0:20:26 > 0:20:32The band has 89 people. It is a high school band. We are excited to be

0:20:32 > 0:20:38here today.What does it mean for your students to be here in a band

0:20:38 > 0:20:44like this?It is a family. We celebrate together, we have sad

0:20:44 > 0:20:48times together, and we take vacations together.How is it to be

0:20:48 > 0:20:54in London today?A great time. We have great weather. Happy to be

0:20:54 > 0:21:08here.Thank you. There we are. It is an ungodly hour to be honest to be

0:21:08 > 0:21:11rehearsing in Parliament Square. Things kick off at 12 o'clock. It is

0:21:11 > 0:21:14free. You are more than welcome to come down.If you have any

0:21:14 > 0:21:26neighbours near, they will not be happy. Such enthusiasm at such an

0:21:26 > 0:21:32ungodly hour. And you have had a go at cheerleading before.Yeah! On top

0:21:32 > 0:21:38of a pyramid. It is very gymnastic! It is a very difficult sport to do.

0:21:38 > 0:21:47On more mainstream matters, what an end to the year. City nearly slipped

0:21:47 > 0:21:57up.Christa palace must be kicking themselves. -- Crystal Palace.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Time now for the sport with Mike.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Late penalty drama in both of yesterday's Premier League games.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Crystal Palace missed a late one to snatch a win over leaders

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Manchester City, as their 18 match unbeaten run came to an end

0:22:08 > 0:22:11yesterday, while West Brom salvaged a point with a dubious penalty over

0:22:11 > 0:22:11Arsenal.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Adam Wild rounds up the action.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17The message from fans was clear enough. Still, it is hard to imagine

0:22:17 > 0:22:22how things could get any better for Manchester City. Never has a team

0:22:22 > 0:22:25been so far ahead at the end of the year. To their potential, there

0:22:25 > 0:22:31seems no end. For Crystal Palace, this seemed a new year lacking

0:22:31 > 0:22:39celebration. The injured player's replacement, Sergio Aguero, when the

0:22:39 > 0:22:43closest in the first half. But this was not the brilliant Crystal Palace

0:22:43 > 0:22:49everyone feared. The target were straightforward, but they hit it

0:22:49 > 0:22:54seemingly less so. Crystal Palace had aims of their own. They had

0:22:54 > 0:22:59chances which they should have done better. Everyone seemed to know it.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04That, ultimately, for them, is how this will be remembered. In the 90th

0:23:04 > 0:23:10minute, awarded a penalty. Unable to see the year out with a bang. Not

0:23:10 > 0:23:16quite the perfect end to 2017 for either side. Full boat, New Year's

0:23:16 > 0:23:25Eve, as is so often the case, a bit of anticlimax. -- for both. Arsene

0:23:25 > 0:23:34Wenger took charge of Arsenal for the 811th Premier League game. But

0:23:34 > 0:23:39something had happened the celebrations. It was not until the

0:23:39 > 0:23:45second half until they found a way through. Alexis Sanchez' free kick

0:23:45 > 0:23:51deflected. But that was far from the end of it. Two minutes remaining,

0:23:51 > 0:23:56West from were offered a hand back into it. This, a penalty, gladly

0:23:56 > 0:24:06spoiling the special day for Arsene Wenger. 1-1. Controversy, and drama,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08to the very end.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Exeter Chiefs start the new year ten points clear at the top

0:24:11 > 0:24:12of the Rugby Union Premiership.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16They beat Leicester 30 points to six, with four second half tries

0:24:16 > 0:24:16at Sandy Park.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17That's Tiger's sixth league defeat in a row,

0:24:18 > 0:24:19their worst run in over 50 years.

0:24:19 > 0:24:27Alex Gulrajani reports.

0:24:27 > 0:24:332017 will go down as a great year. Exeter, champions for the first

0:24:33 > 0:24:40time. With the chiefs clear at the top of the table, the fascinating

0:24:40 > 0:24:46could be memorable as well. The hands were making far too many

0:24:46 > 0:24:54errors. Chances missed. It took root strength to put the league leaders

0:24:54 > 0:25:00in charge. Don carried them. A gap emerged between the sides. Exeter

0:25:00 > 0:25:07needed no help. Jonny May is was in a giving mood. Straight into the

0:25:07 > 0:25:14arms of Henry Slade. Those supporters may have stayed on their

0:25:14 > 0:25:22feet, but there was still time for more. The last play of the game. The

0:25:22 > 0:25:27winning try to be the perfect end to a monumental year for Exeter. BBC

0:25:27 > 0:25:34News.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Yes, the Chiefs go marching on.

0:25:37 > 0:25:42Scarlets won away at Cardiff Blues 14-11 in the Pro-14.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Cardiff led at half time but Scarlets fought back soon

0:25:45 > 0:25:45after the break.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Rhys Patchell's try, their second of the match,

0:25:48 > 0:25:48sealed the win.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51The victory leaves them top of conference B.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54In the other Pro-14 fixture, Ospreys beat Dragons 22-9.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56England's cricketers have arrived in Sydney ahead

0:25:56 > 0:25:59of the Final Ashes Test which begins in three days' time.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02England head coach, Trevor Bayliss, says he still has full belief

0:26:02 > 0:26:05in all-rounder, Moeen Ali, despite his recent run of poor form.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07The 30-year-old has only taken three wickets and averaged 19 runs

0:26:07 > 0:26:12with the bat this series.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17He is always a guy that likes to keep playing. But... I have full

0:26:17 > 0:26:22confidence in him going forward, to be honest. I mean, it was only two

0:26:22 > 0:26:25months ago we were talking about him being one of the best all-rounders

0:26:25 > 0:26:30in the world. Now, he reached the milestone, what was it, 2000 runs

0:26:30 > 0:26:38and 100 wickets. He got back quicker than everyone else.-- that quicker.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41One other line from the England squad, Ben Stokes won't join up

0:26:41 > 0:26:43with the England One Day squad in Australia.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Dawid Malan will replace him in the squad.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49British number one Johanna Konta starts her season today with a match

0:26:49 > 0:26:51against the American Madison Keys at the Brisbane International.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's her first tournament with new coach Michael Joyce

0:26:54 > 0:26:57and she says they are looking forward to starting the season

0:26:57 > 0:27:13together.

0:27:13 > 0:27:20Andy Murray also returns. He is playing in in an exhibition match.

0:27:20 > 0:27:25He is down at number 16. That sounds wrong.I am sure he will go back up.

0:27:25 > 0:27:31Just to be clear, you have a cold. It isn't that you had a late-night?

0:27:31 > 0:27:41No, of course not.Thank you very much. He will have more sport for us

0:27:41 > 0:27:42during the course of the morning.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46The start of the new year has many of us reflecting on the past 12

0:27:46 > 0:27:49months and what we want to differently in the year ahead.

0:27:49 > 0:27:56We've been asking people in Manchester what they hope

0:27:56 > 0:28:05Try and be a little bit healthier. Umm, but not a lot different. Try to

0:28:05 > 0:28:09enjoy ourselves.To finish my masters and get some work.To help

0:28:09 > 0:28:18more people out if they are hurt or anything is wrong.Eat healthy rude.

0:28:18 > 0:28:26Go on a diet. But I don't really want to.Resolutions should not be

0:28:26 > 0:28:30done on the first of January, they should be ongoing throughout the

0:28:30 > 0:28:35year. Keep maintaining them on to them for the right reasons.I never

0:28:35 > 0:28:40stick to them.Exactly, yeah. They are affecting. Still, life goes on.

0:28:40 > 0:28:46Why, because it is a new year, do you...It is a great idea, but if

0:28:46 > 0:28:52you do not let them, you do not feel bad when you do not stick to them.I

0:28:52 > 0:28:57am going to be a better husband, a better father, and, umm, a better

0:28:57 > 0:29:01person. I do a decent job already, but there is always room for

0:29:01 > 0:29:05improvement.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08There is always room for improvement. I think she was right,

0:29:08 > 0:29:11do not set them, and you cannot fail them.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14We'd love to know what you are hoping to achieve in 2018.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17Let us know what your resolutions are and whether you think you'll

0:34:00 > 0:34:05just a few of those who left us this year, and whose lives are celebrated

0:34:05 > 0:34:06in Review 2017: We Remember.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17# Deep down in Louisiana, cross to New Orleans

0:34:17 > 0:34:20# Where back up in the woods among the evergreens

0:34:20 > 0:34:23# There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

0:34:23 > 0:34:26# Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode#

0:34:26 > 0:34:28# Oh Maybelline...#

0:34:28 > 0:34:33Half of the young people go to school

0:34:33 > 0:34:36so that's why I wrote about school.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39I wrote about cars and most of all the people,

0:34:39 > 0:34:42they'll soon be in love.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46# It's a jumping little record I want my jockey to play

0:34:46 > 0:34:52# Roll over Beethoven, I got to hear it again today #.

0:34:52 > 0:34:57And you, Monsieur, are the famous Simon Templar.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01But what about Brother Vincent?

0:35:01 > 0:35:06Supposing he notices something he thinks Clinton should know about.

0:35:06 > 0:35:07Mr...

0:35:07 > 0:35:07Bond.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11James Bond.

0:35:11 > 0:35:23Is there time before we leave for lesson number three?

0:35:23 > 0:35:24Absolutely.

0:35:24 > 0:35:29There's no sense in going off half cocked.

0:35:29 > 0:35:34Stir in some crushed ice, shake, strain and pour.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Top it off with one or less.

0:35:36 > 0:35:36Two.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38I said two.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40You were perfect up until the olives.

0:35:40 > 0:35:40Two olives.

0:35:40 > 0:35:46That way you see they can gently bounce up against each other.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48I'm afraid the spectacle of two olives gently bouncing up

0:35:48 > 0:35:51against each other is a pleasure I shall forego.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Oh, you don't want to bust up a pair.

0:35:54 > 0:35:59We played it tongue in cheek.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01I play most heroes tan in cheek.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05I really don't see myself as a hero so I'd play it

0:36:05 > 0:36:09as if it is all a joke.

0:36:09 > 0:36:10House with a door.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14One, two, three, four.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Great big curtain rings!

0:36:17 > 0:36:20I think they must have come out of a giant's house!

0:36:20 > 0:36:29I know - I will be an owl.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Our aim, we were told, was to play one to one

0:36:32 > 0:36:33through the camera.

0:36:33 > 0:36:38Up and down with you.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41And it works, that is why people remember it because it was

0:36:41 > 0:36:43as if we were talking only to them.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44It's Windy Miller.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Hello, Windy.

0:36:47 > 0:36:55Peel, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Mr John Noakes!

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm sure this does me good.

0:37:06 > 0:37:12Oh, get off my foot.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14While our animals are not going to be happy,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16they will be going away on holiday,

0:37:16 > 0:37:19they're going to spend it in the country

0:37:19 > 0:37:24but Lulu won't be there.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27At this level, the plinth on which Nelson stands

0:37:27 > 0:37:28overhangs the column.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32I was literally hanging from the ladder with nothing beneath me.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34-

0:37:34 > 0:37:37-- Once I had reached the top of the column,

0:37:37 > 0:37:38the worst part began -

0:37:38 > 0:37:41I had to go down again, in a bosun's chair.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43But you coming down to join me?

0:37:43 > 0:37:44Yes, I'm coming down.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46Do you feel all right?

0:37:46 > 0:37:51Yes, I feel good.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54No Shep, don't bite him!

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Get down Shep, behave, come here.

0:37:58 > 0:38:04Get down Shep, behave, come here.

0:38:04 > 0:38:13I'll cuff you round the ear.

0:38:13 > 0:38:19Wait a minute! I have just jumped out of this aeroplane at 50,000

0:38:19 > 0:38:34feet. I am upside down! I am upside down!Hello and welcome to a special

0:38:34 > 0:38:41bank holiday edition.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Swap shop, Cheggers Plays Pop, all sorts.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01I happened to miss a bus one Christmas evening and went

0:39:01 > 0:39:04into a London store and saw this toy bear on the counter.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Nobody had bought it, it was the only one left,

0:39:07 > 0:39:14I took it on to my wife.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16We lived near Paddington so we called it Paddington.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20One day I was sitting with a blank sheet of paper and a typewriter

0:39:20 > 0:39:23and started to write a story about it and I became a book.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway station

0:39:26 > 0:39:30which is how he came to have such an unusual book for a bear.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34Based on my father, very polite man, always wore a hat and Paddington has

0:39:34 > 0:39:35a lot of him in him.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Good afternoon, he said, can I help you.

0:39:38 > 0:39:48There's Parsley.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Sometimes Mr Onion lets him ring the bell.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52London, a lovely city.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24# London is the place for me.#

0:40:30 > 0:40:33I think there was a sort of reticence and nervousness

0:40:33 > 0:40:37that the women might take over all together.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40We might not present an acceptable face of cricket and I actually cried

0:40:40 > 0:40:42as I walked out onto the pitch.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45It was the most incredible feeling.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48COMMENTATOR: Rachel Flynt, what a good piece of fielding

0:40:48 > 0:40:55but not good running between the wickets, though.

0:40:55 > 0:41:00UMPIRE: Advantage, Miss Graf.

0:41:00 > 0:41:06Overcome with the emotion of it all.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09She just told me "Jana, you will do it, I believe one day

0:41:09 > 0:41:11you will do it."

0:41:11 > 0:41:24She's done it!

0:41:33 > 0:41:36After our last programme, the editor of Final Score came

0:41:36 > 0:41:38with a box and when he opened it

0:41:38 > 0:41:40and produced this trophy,

0:41:40 > 0:41:43I thought "That's absolutely made my day because that is something

0:41:43 > 0:41:44that I have always thought,

0:41:44 > 0:41:47having watched the sports personality of the year,

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I would love to have something like that as a souvenir

0:44:47 > 0:44:49Fantastically happy.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51I am.

0:44:51 > 0:44:55I know it's silly but sometimes it worries me, I'm so happy.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58I keep expecting something to come along and spoil it.

0:44:58 > 0:45:07Daft thing, what could possibly do that.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12It happens sometimes in an actor's life, if you are very very lucky

0:45:12 > 0:45:21that something special turns up.

0:45:28 > 0:45:31And when I read Last Of The Summer Wine, I thought, "This is it."

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Yes, this is it, this is the tree!

0:45:33 > 0:45:35You can see Tollgate Church!

0:45:35 > 0:45:38I'm sorry, Gromit, the fact is, I am just crackers about cheese.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39Please.

0:48:18 > 0:48:22I wish that at that time I had been older, so that I would have been

0:48:22 > 0:48:26able to have answered or spoke up for myself.

0:48:27 > 0:48:28You move like a racehorse.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30You walk like a derby winner.

0:48:43 > 0:48:47I am homosexual, irretrievably.

0:48:47 > 0:48:52Then why did you come here looking as you do?

0:48:52 > 0:48:54Well...

0:48:54 > 0:48:58Many people said, "Don't do that, you'll never work again" and I said,

0:48:58 > 0:49:00"It's not about sexuality, it's about the tenderness

0:49:00 > 0:49:03of the individual as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd."

1:01:31 > 1:01:37in Liverpool which has destroyed up to 1,400 vehicles.

1:01:37 > 1:01:39North Korea's leader says his country's nuclear weapons

1:01:39 > 1:01:42are a "reality, not a threat" and the entire US mainland

1:01:42 > 1:01:46is a target.

1:01:46 > 1:01:48In sport, the winning run is over.

1:01:48 > 1:01:51And it takes an injury time penalty save to preserve Manchester City's

1:01:51 > 1:01:53unbeaten record this season as they're given a scare

1:01:53 > 1:01:56at the Palace.

1:01:56 > 1:02:02Happy New Year from BBC Breakfast!

1:02:02 > 1:02:05From Parliament Square, the final preparations are under way

1:02:05 > 1:02:08for the annual New Year's Day parade with thousands of performers

1:02:08 > 1:02:10from around the world like these guys on Texas!

1:02:10 > 1:02:18Half a million people expected, 8000 performers, including these guys.

1:02:18 > 1:02:19And Stav has the weather.

1:02:19 > 1:02:25Happy New Year.

1:02:25 > 1:02:30Quite a lot of showers around, wet and windy in places but some

1:02:30 > 1:02:33sunshine into the afternoon but actually the start of 2018 is

1:02:33 > 1:02:35looking unsettled. More in 15 minutes.

1:02:35 > 1:02:37Good morning and happy new year.

1:02:37 > 1:02:38First, our main story.

1:02:38 > 1:02:41Millions of people around the world have been celebrating

1:02:41 > 1:02:42the start of 2018.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44More than 100,000 ticketholders watched London's midnight firework

1:02:44 > 1:02:46show from the banks of the River Thames,

1:02:46 > 1:02:48and Hogmanay celebrations went ahead in Edinburgh,

1:02:48 > 1:02:50despite earlier travel and weather concerns,

1:02:50 > 1:02:56as Simon Clemison reports.

1:02:56 > 1:02:59It was one party Big Ben really couldn't miss.

1:02:59 > 1:03:00BONG!

1:03:00 > 1:03:03Chiming for new year, despite being silenced at the moment

1:03:03 > 1:03:04while repairs are carried out.

1:03:04 > 1:03:18Cue 12,000 fireworks.

1:03:18 > 1:03:21Whatever you did to finish 2017, whatever you are doing to start

1:03:21 > 1:03:252018, there are these 11 minutes and 15 second in the middle

1:03:25 > 1:03:29here in London when you look up and forget to breathe.

1:03:29 > 1:03:31The soundtrack dominated by female artists.

1:03:31 > 1:03:33The centenary of women beginning to get the vote -

1:03:33 > 1:03:39one way this year will be defined.

1:03:39 > 1:03:43Any thoughts about what 2018 might hold for you?

1:03:43 > 1:03:47Yeah, it's gonna be the best year ever!

1:03:47 > 1:03:49Why is that?

1:03:49 > 1:03:51Just A levels, we're gonna get our careers.

1:03:51 > 1:03:53We're gonna get into university!

1:03:53 > 1:03:53To university!

1:03:53 > 1:03:54Gonna be good.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56Do you want to get my kilt?

1:03:56 > 1:04:02Yeah!

1:04:02 > 1:04:07In Scotland, Storm Dylan had been an unwelcome party guest

1:04:07 > 1:04:15during the day but given the importance of Hogmanay,

1:04:15 > 1:04:18it would take a lot to spoil the evening celebrations,

1:04:18 > 1:04:22even though winds of more than 70 miles an hour had hit some parts.

1:04:22 > 1:04:24In Sydney, another quiet night, the Harbour Bridge somewhere

1:04:24 > 1:04:25in this picture.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27Rainbow colours, a tribute to Australia's legalisation

1:04:27 > 1:04:31of same-sex marriage in 2017.

1:04:31 > 1:04:34As city after city around the world rang in the new year,

1:04:34 > 1:04:41Hong Kong erupted, Athens glowed, and Moscow sparkled.

1:04:41 > 1:04:43There are still some countries to go.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46Now New York has marked the moment, the last inhabited island,

1:04:46 > 1:04:48American Samoa, will celebrate 25 hours after neighbouring islands

1:04:48 > 1:04:54first began the party.

1:04:54 > 1:04:57The five British citizens who died when a seaplane crashed

1:04:57 > 1:05:02in Australia on New Year's Eve has been named.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05The Australian pilot also died after crashing into a river 30 miles

1:05:05 > 1:05:10north of Sydney.

1:05:10 > 1:05:14Let's go live to our correspondent Phil Mercer neither scene for us in

1:05:14 > 1:05:18New South Wales this morning. A real sense of tragedy there to start the

1:05:18 > 1:05:22new year?

1:05:22 > 1:05:25That's right, and investigators say it could take many months to figure

1:05:25 > 1:05:30out exactly how and why a routine sightseeing trip did crush into

1:05:30 > 1:05:38idyllic waters to the north of Sydney. -- crash. The dead have been

1:05:38 > 1:05:42identified as Richard Cousins, 58 years of age, a successful is this

1:05:42 > 1:05:48man, chief executive of the compass group and was due to retire in

1:05:48 > 1:05:52March, he died alongside his two sons and also his fiancee who was in

1:05:52 > 1:06:00her late 40s, and she died alongside her 11-year-old daughter. So a

1:06:00 > 1:06:04terrible end to 2017 and we understand from the Australian

1:06:04 > 1:06:11police that the wreckage of the seaplane at Jerusalem Bay near the

1:06:11 > 1:06:16town of Cowan remained submerged in about 40 feet of water and as we

1:06:16 > 1:06:21say, the investigation could take many months.Thank you indeed.

1:06:21 > 1:06:24Scores of people who had travelled to Liverpool to celebrate

1:06:24 > 1:06:28the New Year have had to spend the night in a temporary shelter

1:06:28 > 1:06:31after a fire in a multi-storey car park next to the city's Echo Arena

1:06:31 > 1:06:33destroyed more than 1,000 vehicles.

1:06:33 > 1:06:39Steve Saul reports.

1:06:39 > 1:06:42The fire is thought to have started in one vehicle on the third floor

1:06:42 > 1:06:44of the car park.

1:06:44 > 1:06:46Emergency services arrived within minutes, but the flames

1:06:46 > 1:06:48quickly spread to other floors.

1:06:48 > 1:06:51Police say 1,400 cars have been destroyed.

1:06:51 > 1:06:54Up to 4,000 people are thought to have been left stranded

1:06:54 > 1:06:55in the city.

1:06:55 > 1:06:57The arena, on the city's waterfront, was hosting

1:06:57 > 1:06:58the Liverpool International Horse Show.

1:06:58 > 1:07:04No spectators or animals have been injured.

1:07:04 > 1:07:04My car.

1:07:04 > 1:07:06All of our belongings in it.

1:07:06 > 1:07:06Everything.

1:07:06 > 1:07:09I came over from Northern Ireland, and all my stuff -

1:07:09 > 1:07:13like, my suitcase and all my clothes are in it, all gone.

1:07:13 > 1:07:16Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service say this is one of the biggest fires

1:07:16 > 1:07:19they have ever dealt with, with crews working under challenging

1:07:19 > 1:07:22conditions from the outside of the building because of a real

1:07:22 > 1:07:24fear of structural collapse.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27The difficulty that we have is because this is so deep-seated,

1:07:27 > 1:07:31is to physically be able to get into - right into the middle

1:07:31 > 1:07:34of the building to put the fire out, which clearly is the extent

1:07:34 > 1:07:38of which the fire has taken hold there, we will not be able to do

1:07:38 > 1:07:41that for quite some time, given the structural stability

1:07:41 > 1:07:48issues with the building as well.

1:07:48 > 1:07:51Liverpool City Council are expected to help make arrangements to get

1:07:51 > 1:07:54those who have been left in the city back home later.

1:07:54 > 1:07:56Temporary parking arrangements have been made so the arena can

1:07:56 > 1:08:03operate as normal.

1:08:03 > 1:08:05The President of Iran has appealed for calm,

1:08:05 > 1:08:08saying people would have the right to protest but not to commit acts

1:08:08 > 1:08:10of violence, amid continuing anti-government protests.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12In his first public comments since demonstrations

1:08:12 > 1:08:14against the government began on Thursday, Hassan Rouhani warned

1:08:14 > 1:08:24that violence and public disorder would not be tolerated.

1:08:24 > 1:08:26TRANSLATION:The atmosphere for criticism, protest

1:08:26 > 1:08:28within a legal framework, is absolutely free but

1:08:28 > 1:08:31the atmosphere for destruction and unrest is definitely not

1:08:31 > 1:08:35an atmosphere which people would tolerate.

1:08:35 > 1:08:39The North Korean leader has said that he has a nuclear button

1:08:39 > 1:08:39on his desk.

1:08:39 > 1:08:43In a defiant New Year message, Kim Jong-un said the United States

1:08:43 > 1:08:53would now never be able to start a war with North Korea.

1:08:53 > 1:09:00Earlier I spoke to Sophie Long in the South Korean capital Seoul.

1:09:00 > 1:09:04I asked if this just be seen as another in a long line of threats

1:09:04 > 1:09:04against the US?

1:09:04 > 1:09:08Yeah, I think in terms, certainly, of his message to the United States,

1:09:08 > 1:09:10there was nothing new - another defiant message saying

1:09:10 > 1:09:13"We have a nuclear capability that can strike anywhere

1:09:13 > 1:09:14on your mainland".

1:09:14 > 1:09:17He also said "I have a nuclear button on my desk".

1:09:17 > 1:09:20Does he have the capability to strike the US mainland in the way

1:09:20 > 1:09:22that he has boasted about?

1:09:22 > 1:09:24The answer to that is we don't know.

1:09:24 > 1:09:27We do know that he carried out the sixth and most powerful nuclear

1:09:27 > 1:09:30test in September of 2017 and he carried out a test launch

1:09:30 > 1:09:32of an intercontinental ballistic missile in November,

1:09:32 > 1:09:35which he said could strike anywhere on the US mainland.

1:09:35 > 1:09:38Whether he has the ability to miniaturise the nuclear

1:09:38 > 1:09:41capability and put it on a missile that can reach the United States,

1:09:41 > 1:09:44we don't yet know, although many people, many analysts think

1:09:44 > 1:09:46that he might not be far off doing that.

1:09:46 > 1:09:49What was slightly more surprising was he had a much more consolatory

1:09:49 > 1:09:52tone towards South Korea, his neighbour but also,

1:09:52 > 1:09:54of course, the United States' ally.

1:09:54 > 1:09:58He said to them that he was open to dialogue and he may even consider

1:09:58 > 1:10:01sending North Korean athletes to the Winter Olympics which are due

1:10:01 > 1:10:06to take place in South Korea in February.

1:10:06 > 1:10:08That's very important to the government here.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10President Moon has said that if that were to happen,

1:10:10 > 1:10:17he thinks it could be a turning point in relations with North Korea.

1:10:17 > 1:10:21Sophie Long speaking to us earlier from Seoul. The outgoing chairman of

1:10:21 > 1:10:25the police Federation has claimed that members of the Freemasons are

1:10:25 > 1:10:30blocking reform in policing. Steve White to represent rank-and-file

1:10:30 > 1:10:34officers in England and Wales met the comment in an interview with the

1:10:34 > 1:10:37Guardian newspaper. The claim has been rejected by senior police

1:10:37 > 1:10:41officers and by the masons, who say they uphold high moral principles

1:10:41 > 1:10:43and values.

1:10:43 > 1:10:45The Archbishop of Canterbury has paid tribute to emergency workers

1:10:45 > 1:10:47in his New Year's Day message.

1:10:47 > 1:10:50Justin Welby said 2018 could be defined either by human suffering

1:10:50 > 1:10:52or the compassionate response to it.

1:10:52 > 1:11:03Here's our religion editor Martin Bashir.

1:11:03 > 1:11:06Special coins marking 100-year anniversaries of women getting

1:11:06 > 1:11:09the right to vote and the end of the First World War

1:11:09 > 1:11:10are being released this year.

1:11:10 > 1:11:13The Royal Mint will also introduce ones celebrating 200 years

1:11:13 > 1:11:16since the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18The two-pound coin, marking the anniversary

1:11:18 > 1:11:21of the First World War Armistice, features a quote from Wilfred Owen's

1:11:21 > 1:11:23poem Strange Meeting, which says "the truth untold,

1:11:23 > 1:11:28the pity of war".

1:11:28 > 1:11:33That's this morning's main stories.

1:11:33 > 1:11:38It is seven AM, good morning and happy New Year. If you are joining

1:11:38 > 1:11:43us, perhaps watching in Liverpool this morning where around 1400 cars

1:11:43 > 1:11:46have been destroyed after a fire broke out in a multistorey car park.

1:11:46 > 1:11:51That is next to the cities echo arena, it happened last night where

1:11:51 > 1:11:55a horse show was being held. Mercifully no one was hurt but

1:11:55 > 1:11:58residents in nearby apartments were evacuated and the fire service

1:11:58 > 1:12:02tackled the blaze, many people left stranded without their cars. That's

1:12:02 > 1:12:06talked to Paul Conway at the scene last night, planning to visit the

1:12:06 > 1:12:10horse show at the Echo Arena.

1:12:10 > 1:12:14Good morning and banks are joining us bright and early. Describe the

1:12:14 > 1:12:20scene if you would reduce or last night.We arrived at the Echo Arena

1:12:20 > 1:12:25just after 6pm and everyone was being turned away, the Fire Brigade

1:12:25 > 1:12:31were already on the scene. It was just a thought suggested we go along

1:12:31 > 1:12:36and have a drink somewhere and wait for it to clear. It appeared like it

1:12:36 > 1:12:39was just a normal car fire, something of nothing, there wasn't

1:12:39 > 1:12:47much smoke at all. So we made our way out to one of the pubs adjacent

1:12:47 > 1:12:53to the Echo and we thought it was OK and then we heard that the show was

1:12:53 > 1:12:57cancelled and we couldn't believe it, there wasn't that much of a

1:12:57 > 1:13:01fire, and then we started to see the flames coming out the side of the

1:13:01 > 1:13:06car park and obviously the fire brigade were there, putting a lot of

1:13:06 > 1:13:10water up the side of the building, but the fire was just getting bigger

1:13:10 > 1:13:15and bigger and bigger. Yeah, it became apparent that it wasn't going

1:13:15 > 1:13:19to get put out any time soon. Looking at some of the this while

1:13:19 > 1:13:25you were talking there, Paul, over 1400 cars, virtually every single

1:13:25 > 1:13:29car in the car park, was destroyed. What were people saying as they

1:13:29 > 1:13:34watched it unfold?We happened to be at the bar talking to people while

1:13:34 > 1:13:39we were getting served and one of the bar man was looking out at it

1:13:39 > 1:13:45and said come on, it isn't that big, everybody's car who works in this

1:13:45 > 1:13:50building all parks in their Deuk-Hee the explosions of the petrol tanks

1:13:50 > 1:13:56and the tyres going and it was like gunfire at one stage.Astonishing

1:13:56 > 1:14:02pictures while you are talking. Obviously the horse show was taking

1:14:02 > 1:14:06place, you are involved in the equestrian world, I suppose Kelly

1:14:06 > 1:14:10know one and no animal was injured because it is astonishing to look at

1:14:10 > 1:14:16this picture.As we decided to leave, we thought it would be a good

1:14:16 > 1:14:22idea to make our wake out of the area. We went past where the stables

1:14:22 > 1:14:26were and I know that the horses had been taken out of the main arena,

1:14:26 > 1:14:30the ones who were competing, they were in the temporary stables but

1:14:30 > 1:14:35what became apparent, all of the smoke was then blowing from the

1:14:35 > 1:14:39arena into the temporary stabling. So the horses had to be gotten out

1:14:39 > 1:14:46just in case they became overcome with the fumes. And everyone was

1:14:46 > 1:14:50mucking in helping get the horses out of their to the safety of the

1:14:50 > 1:14:55horse boxes which were parked around the corner.We are very grateful to

1:14:55 > 1:14:59you for talking to us, you made it home safely I presume because they

1:14:59 > 1:15:03think you said you parked somewhere else?Very lucky that we parked

1:15:03 > 1:15:06somewhere else, if we had gotten their earlier we would have also had

1:15:06 > 1:15:11been parked in there so very lucky. Grateful to you for your time, thank

1:15:11 > 1:15:21you, Paul, and happy New Year. 7:15 AM, let's take a look at the weather

1:15:21 > 1:15:24if you are up right and early.

1:15:29 > 1:15:36The Weather Is Not Too Bad. Happy New Year. It Is Looking Unsettled To

1:15:36 > 1:15:47Start The Fascinating. Windy for a time. Two areas of low pressure. Wet

1:15:47 > 1:15:54weather to Northern Ireland. This area of low pressure will batter

1:15:54 > 1:15:57France. A spell of wet and windy weather to southern counties of

1:15:57 > 1:16:03England in south Wales. Thundery showers to the south-west. They will

1:16:03 > 1:16:09go east in the next hour or so. Spells of sunshine in the Midlands

1:16:09 > 1:16:18and north. Breezy. Showers in Northern Ireland in Scotland. Gale

1:16:18 > 1:16:23force winds through Northern Ireland. They will go south into

1:16:23 > 1:16:26northern England and North Wales. Blustery showers. Wintry on the high

1:16:26 > 1:16:37ground. Improving in the south. Sunshine. A bit cooler. 7- ten.

1:16:37 > 1:16:42Light winds. A chilly night. Changing in the west. The next area

1:16:42 > 1:16:50of low pressure moving in. We could see a touch of frost in the north.

1:16:50 > 1:16:55That is Tuesday. Cold and bright in central and eastern areas. The wet

1:16:55 > 1:16:58and windy weather will go east through the day. Snow in the

1:16:58 > 1:17:02Pennines and for the Scottish hills. Behind that, skies brightened up.

1:17:02 > 1:17:09Blustery blustery showers moving in. Mild in the south. The next area of

1:17:09 > 1:17:15low pressure will be nasty. A spell of severe gales and heavy rain at

1:17:15 > 1:17:18times. Clearing on Wednesday morning. Blustery and windy,

1:17:18 > 1:17:23especially in the west. Gales. Showers in western areas. Sunny

1:17:23 > 1:17:29spells in the east. 8- 10 degrees. The rest of the week looking

1:17:29 > 1:17:34unsettled. Low pressure bringing spells of wind and rain. A little

1:17:34 > 1:17:38bit of sunshine in between. That will continue as we go on

1:17:38 > 1:17:38bit of sunshine in between. That will continue as we go on towards

1:17:38 > 1:17:43the weekend. Thank you very much. We will speak to you a little bit later

1:17:43 > 1:17:47on.

1:17:47 > 1:17:51The start of the new year has many of us reflecting on the past 12

1:17:51 > 1:17:54months and what we want to differently in the year ahead.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56We've been asking people in Manchester what they hope

1:17:56 > 1:17:57to achieve in 2018.

1:17:57 > 1:18:01So, why do we set ourselves resolutions, and how can we make

1:18:01 > 1:18:02sure we stick to them?

1:18:02 > 1:18:04I'm joined now by psychotherapist, Emma Kenny.

1:18:04 > 1:18:09Thank you for getting up so early on you use morning. -- on New Year's.

1:18:09 > 1:18:13Why are they so popular?Many people make them. Sticking to them is the

1:18:13 > 1:18:21issue. By the 28th of January, people have given up. That is

1:18:21 > 1:18:31because of the evidence behind why they give up. It is therapeutic,

1:18:31 > 1:18:35though. Goalsetting is helpful and means you can recognise your success

1:18:35 > 1:18:40in the past and you can see what you are attributing success to as you

1:18:40 > 1:18:45move towards things.Yesterday we were talking to the mental health

1:18:45 > 1:18:49foundation. They said sometimes you can put too much pressure on

1:18:49 > 1:18:55yourself.Absolutely. The big problem with setting goals is people

1:18:55 > 1:19:00overwhelmed themselves. They will not say I have this priority to deal

1:19:00 > 1:19:05with. Look at health. You cannot say I want to be healthier, you cannot,

1:19:05 > 1:19:12because it is too fluffy. So we have to have one priority area. Once you

1:19:12 > 1:19:18have mastered that, move on.Did you have chocolate?I gave it up last

1:19:18 > 1:19:22year. I just had dark chocolate. What I did was make it specific. I

1:19:22 > 1:19:28gave it up. It is the same with going to the gym. If you say I will

1:19:28 > 1:19:33go to the gym, you will not. If you say I will go outside ten minutes

1:19:33 > 1:19:38every day and then go once a week to the gym with my friend, you make it

1:19:38 > 1:19:44more specific, and easier to stick with. Do not say I will lose weight,

1:19:44 > 1:19:51meet a new partner, go travelling, it will not happen.Goals are good

1:19:51 > 1:19:57thing?Yeah.Do they make you more successful generally if you are a

1:19:57 > 1:20:07target focused person?If you look at research, it is very strong, any

1:20:07 > 1:20:16goalsetting is effective. Basically, small and measurable and achievable

1:20:16 > 1:20:34realistic goals. People use different words. So, small,

1:20:34 > 1:20:38measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. That's SMART. You

1:20:38 > 1:20:54say I will lose £2 by not having big lunches. -- two pounds.Have you got

1:20:54 > 1:20:59one this year?I will walk with my children one day a week. It does not

1:20:59 > 1:21:03matter which day it is.Really? Congratulations! Well done for

1:21:03 > 1:21:10persuading them. It is lovely to see you. Happy New Year. Some good

1:21:10 > 1:21:16advice on New Year's resolutions. Perhaps a few of them will be made

1:21:16 > 1:21:25in London.

1:21:25 > 1:21:28Around half a million people are expected to turn out

1:21:28 > 1:21:31in Central London for the annual New Year's Day Parade.

1:21:31 > 1:21:32Thousands of performers, including marching bands,

1:21:32 > 1:21:35cheerleaders, and stunt drivers are set to entertain the crowds.

1:21:35 > 1:21:37Not content with all the frivolities last night.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40Breakfast's Graham Satchell is getting a taste of the action

1:21:40 > 1:21:41for us this morning.

1:21:41 > 1:21:45Happy New Year. You are not alone. We are not. We are surrounded by

1:21:45 > 1:21:48cheerleaders from various heights of America. They are rehearsing, going

1:21:48 > 1:21:51through their final paces. It is called the New Year's Day parade. It

1:21:51 > 1:21:55kicks off a 12 o'clock. This is one of the cheerleaders. Good morning.

1:21:55 > 1:21:59Where are you from?The majority of us are from Texas. Some, Louisiana.

1:21:59 > 1:22:06Have you been to London before?This is my first time out of the US.And

1:22:06 > 1:22:09what do you think what you are today?Today is just so exciting.

1:22:09 > 1:22:16The parade is super, like, we are also pumped and ready for this.

1:22:16 > 1:22:22Happy New Year. Good luck. Happy New Year. As well as cheerleaders, we

1:22:22 > 1:22:33have many different things. You can see some stunt riders. They are from

1:22:33 > 1:22:36Stunted Reality. There are two of them doing things I would not

1:22:36 > 1:22:40recommend doing if you are hung on New Year's Day. And this person is

1:22:40 > 1:22:49hopefully going to jump over a Jeep! Good job. He is from Moto Stunt

1:22:49 > 1:22:55International. And now a marching band from Troy in Ohio. They funded

1:22:55 > 1:22:58their trip today by selling thousands and thousands of

1:22:58 > 1:23:04doughnuts, believe it or not. I will chat to the lord mayor of

1:23:04 > 1:23:09Westminster. Good morning.Good morning.This New Year's Day parade

1:23:09 > 1:23:14has been going on for 30 years. Why did it start?It is a time of year

1:23:14 > 1:23:18with shops closing and museums and galleries shutting. It is a great

1:23:18 > 1:23:24way for Westminster to showcase some of the best things we have to offer.

1:23:24 > 1:23:29What do you think are the highlights today?A variety. It is great to

1:23:29 > 1:23:36have American bands from the US. Top performing bands. Each of them have

1:23:36 > 1:23:40a float. We have inflatables, stunt drivers, the variety is the

1:23:40 > 1:23:48highlight.It is really an occasion for families, I suppose, and people

1:23:48 > 1:23:52who work and who are completely drunk overnight.Yet. It is a good

1:23:52 > 1:23:58way to get rid of the early morning blues.You are hosting the event

1:23:58 > 1:24:02today. Good luck. Thank you very much. Happy New Year. The whole

1:24:02 > 1:24:11thing kicks off at 12 o'clock today. It starts at Green Park, goes

1:24:11 > 1:24:14through Picadilly, and ends up in Parliament Square. If you are

1:24:14 > 1:24:18feeling hungover and want to get rid of the cobwebs, you could do worse.

1:24:18 > 1:24:24That is it from us.Thank you. And thank you to your guests. It is

1:24:24 > 1:24:32great to see you at such an ungodly hour.

1:24:32 > 1:24:38It was almost a stunning end to the year. Crystal Palace came so close

1:24:38 > 1:24:41to ending the unbeaten run of Manchester City.

1:24:41 > 1:24:44Late penalty drama in both of yesterday's Premier League games.

1:24:44 > 1:24:47Crystal Palace missed a late one to snatch a win over leaders

1:24:47 > 1:24:51Manchester City, as their 18 match unbeaten run came to an end

1:24:51 > 1:24:54yesterday, while West Brom salvaged a point with a dubious penalty over

1:24:54 > 1:24:54Arsenal.

1:24:54 > 1:24:58Adam Wild rounds up the action.

1:24:58 > 1:25:00Still, it is rather hard to imagine just how things could get any better

1:25:01 > 1:25:02The message from fans was clear enough.

1:25:02 > 1:25:06Still, it is rather hard to imagine just how things could get any better

1:25:06 > 1:25:07for Manchester City.

1:25:07 > 1:25:11Never has a team been so far ahead at the end of the year.

1:25:11 > 1:25:13To their potential, well, there seems no end.

1:25:13 > 1:25:16But against Crystal Palace, this was a new year lacking celebration.

1:25:16 > 1:25:18Gabriel Jesus, injured, leaving in tears.

1:25:18 > 1:25:20It was his replacement, Sergio Aguero, who went the closest

1:25:20 > 1:25:21in the first half.

1:25:21 > 1:25:24But this was not the brilliance from City that all have

1:25:24 > 1:25:25come to fear.

1:25:25 > 1:25:27Victory would have equalled the European record.

1:25:27 > 1:25:28The target, then, straightforward.

1:25:28 > 1:25:30Hitting it, seemingly less so.

1:25:30 > 1:25:32But Palace are a side with aims of their own.

1:25:32 > 1:25:34They did have chances with which they should

1:25:34 > 1:25:35have done better.

1:25:35 > 1:25:37Everyone seemed to know it.

1:25:37 > 1:25:40And that, ultimately, for them, is how this will be remembered.

1:25:40 > 1:25:42In the 90th minute, awarded a penalty.

1:25:42 > 1:25:45Luca, though, unable to see the year out with a bang.

1:25:45 > 1:25:48So, not quite the perfect end to 2017 for either side.

1:25:48 > 1:25:50For both, New Year's Eve, as is so often the case,

1:25:50 > 1:25:52a bit of an anticlimax.

1:25:52 > 1:25:55Elsewhere, a big day on the calendar of a rather different sort.

1:25:55 > 1:25:58At West Brom, Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal for the 811th

1:25:58 > 1:26:00Premier League game, a new record.

1:26:00 > 1:26:04But there was much work to be done before any celebrations would be

1:26:04 > 1:26:04allowed to start.

1:26:04 > 1:26:06His team certainly made him wait.

1:26:06 > 1:26:17It wasn't until the second half before they found a way through.

1:26:17 > 1:26:19And even then it took a bit of fortune.

1:26:19 > 1:26:21Alexis Sanchez' free kick, deflected.

1:26:21 > 1:26:23But that was still far from the end of it.

1:26:23 > 1:26:26Two minutes remaining, West Brom were offered a hand

1:26:26 > 1:26:27back into it.

1:26:27 > 1:26:28This, deemed a penalty.

1:26:28 > 1:26:30And Jay Rodriguez gladly spoiled Arsene Wenger's special day.

1:26:30 > 1:26:421-1.

1:26:42 > 1:26:54A year laden with controversy and drama to the very end.

1:26:54 > 1:27:01And plenty more Premier League action starting off today.

1:27:01 > 1:27:04Exeter Chiefs start the new year ten points clear at the top

1:27:04 > 1:27:05of the Rugby Union Premiership.

1:27:05 > 1:27:09They beat Leicester 30 points to six, with four second half tries

1:27:09 > 1:27:09at Sandy Park.

1:27:09 > 1:27:11That's Tiger's sixth league defeat in a row,

1:27:11 > 1:27:13their worst run in over 50 years.

1:27:13 > 1:27:14Alex Gulrajani reports.

1:27:14 > 1:27:172017 will go down as a great year in Exeter.

1:27:17 > 1:27:27Champions for the first time, Devon, now a must-stop shop

1:27:27 > 1:27:28for the England head coach.

1:27:28 > 1:27:31And with the Chiefs clear at the top of the table,

1:27:31 > 1:27:332018 could be memorable as well.

1:27:33 > 1:27:35The only points early against Leicester from the boot.

1:27:35 > 1:27:37The hands were making far too many errors.

1:27:37 > 1:27:38Chances missed.

1:27:38 > 1:27:44And they were keeping in touch thanks to George Ford.

1:27:44 > 1:27:47It took root strength to put the league leaders in charge.

1:27:47 > 1:27:48Don carried them over.

1:27:48 > 1:27:50And now, a gap emerged between the sides.

1:27:50 > 1:27:54Exeter certainly needed no help, yet Jonny May was in a giving mood.

1:27:54 > 1:27:56Straight into the arms of Henry Slade.

1:27:56 > 1:27:57The simplest of finishes.

1:27:57 > 1:28:00And those supporters may well have stayed on their feet,

1:28:00 > 1:28:02as Johnny Hill went over not long after.

1:28:02 > 1:28:04And there was still time for more.

1:28:04 > 1:28:07A bonus point-winning try with the last play of the game.

1:28:07 > 1:28:09Jack, with the perfect end to a monumental

1:28:09 > 1:28:10year for Exeter.

1:28:10 > 1:28:14BBC News.

1:28:14 > 1:28:17Scarlets won away at Cardiff Blues 14-11 in the Pro-14.

1:28:17 > 1:28:20Cardiff led at half time but Scarlets fought back soon

1:28:20 > 1:28:21after the break.

1:28:21 > 1:28:23Rhys Patchell's try, their second of the match,

1:28:23 > 1:28:23sealed the win.

1:28:23 > 1:28:35The victory leaves them top of Conference B.

1:28:35 > 1:28:39British number one Johanna Konta starts her season today with a match

1:28:39 > 1:28:41against the American Madison Keys at the Brisbane International.

1:28:41 > 1:28:43It's her first tournament with new coach Michael Joyce

1:28:43 > 1:28:46and she says they are looking forward to starting

1:28:46 > 1:29:08the season together.

1:29:08 > 1:29:10England's cricketers have arrived in Sydney ahead

1:29:10 > 1:29:13of the Final Ashes Test which begins in three days' time.

1:29:13 > 1:29:16England head coach, Trevor Bayliss, says he still has full belief

1:29:16 > 1:29:19in all-rounder, Moeen Ali, despite his recent run of poor form.

1:29:19 > 1:29:22The 30-year-old has only taken three wickets and averaged 19 runs

1:29:22 > 1:29:23with the bat this series.

1:29:23 > 1:29:26He is always a guy that likes to keep playing.

1:29:26 > 1:29:26But...

1:29:26 > 1:29:28I have full confidence in him going forward,

1:29:28 > 1:29:29to be honest.

1:29:29 > 1:29:33I mean, it was only two months ago we were talking about him being one

1:29:33 > 1:29:35of the best all-rounders in the world.

1:29:35 > 1:29:38Now, he reached the milestone, what was it, 2000 runs

1:29:38 > 1:29:38and 100 wickets.

1:29:38 > 1:29:49He got that quicker than everyone else.

1:29:49 > 1:29:53So, there we go, just three days until it starts again. One last

1:29:53 > 1:30:00chance to salvage some pride. Thank you. Stay with us. Headlines are on

1:31:29 > 1:31:32as the fire service tackled the blaze which it describes as one

1:31:32 > 1:31:37of the worst it had ever dealt with.

1:31:42 > 1:31:44Passengers are travelling in carriages which were typically

1:33:21 > 1:33:24From the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, to the retirement

1:33:24 > 1:33:27from royal duties of the Duke of Edinburgh, Sarah Campbell looks

1:33:27 > 1:33:29back on the key events in Review 2017: The Royal Year.

1:33:41 > 1:33:42REPORTER:Congratulations from all of us!

1:33:42 > 1:33:54How are you both feeling?

1:33:54 > 1:33:55Um, thrilled.

1:33:55 > 1:33:58This was the year in which Prince Harry introduced his new leading

1:33:58 > 1:34:00lady, the American actress, Meghan Markle.

1:34:00 > 1:34:03The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly,

1:34:03 > 1:34:05was sort of confirmation to me that everything,

1:34:05 > 1:34:08all the stars were aligned, everything was perfect.

1:34:08 > 1:34:11After 70 years of public service, the Duke of Edinburgh,

1:34:11 > 1:34:13Britain's longest-serving Royal Consort hung up his hat

1:34:13 > 1:34:20and retired from royal duties.

1:34:20 > 1:34:22Prince George had his own milestone moment -

1:34:22 > 1:34:30his first day of school.

1:34:30 > 1:34:34And flexing their royal muscles in an effort to put the issue

1:34:34 > 1:34:43of mental health firmly on the national agenda.

1:34:43 > 1:34:47After weeks of fevered speculation came confirmation that Prince Harry,

1:34:47 > 1:34:50the fifth in line to the throne, was engaged to the American actress,

1:34:50 > 1:34:53Meghan Markle.

1:34:53 > 1:34:56The happy couple appeared in the grounds of Kensington Palace,

1:34:56 > 1:34:58which will be her new home.

1:34:58 > 1:35:01This was only the second time they had appeared together

1:35:01 > 1:35:02for the cameras.

1:35:02 > 1:35:04REPORTER:Harry, when did you know she was the one?

1:35:04 > 1:35:10The very first time we met!

1:35:10 > 1:35:12Later, in a candid interview with the BBC's Mishal Husain,

1:35:12 > 1:35:17they revealed they'd met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend.

1:35:17 > 1:35:20In early November, while preparing a roast chicken dinner,

1:35:20 > 1:35:22Harry popped the question.

1:35:22 > 1:35:24It was just an amazing surprise.

1:35:24 > 1:35:28It was so sweet and natural and very romantic.

1:35:28 > 1:35:29He got on one knee.

1:35:29 > 1:35:30Of course.

1:35:30 > 1:35:32Was that an instant yes from you?

1:35:32 > 1:35:35Yes, as a matter of fact, I could barely let him finish proposing.

1:35:35 > 1:35:37I said, "Can I say yes now?!"

1:35:37 > 1:35:39She didn't even let me finish.

1:35:39 > 1:35:42She said, "Can I say yes, can I say yes?"

1:35:42 > 1:35:45Then there was hugs and I had the ring in my finger.

1:35:45 > 1:35:47I was like, "Can I give you the ring?"

1:35:47 > 1:35:49She was, like, "Oh, yes, the ring!"

1:35:49 > 1:35:54So, no, it was a really nice moment, just the two of us, and I think

1:35:54 > 1:35:56I managed to catch her by surprise as well.

1:35:56 > 1:36:00The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly

1:36:00 > 1:36:02was sort of confirmation to me that everything,

1:36:02 > 1:36:04all of the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect.

1:36:04 > 1:36:08It was this beautiful woman had just sort of literally tripped and fell

1:36:08 > 1:36:11into my life, I had fell into her life, and the fact that

1:36:11 > 1:36:16I know that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of it as well,

1:36:16 > 1:36:20is obviously a huge relief to me because she will be able to deal

1:36:20 > 1:36:22with everything else that comes with it.

1:36:22 > 1:36:24In the case of your relationship, unlike for most people,

1:36:24 > 1:36:28there is this whole layer of what it means to get involved with someone

1:36:28 > 1:36:29from the Royal Family.

1:36:29 > 1:36:32How much of a sense did you have, Meghan, of the enormity

1:36:32 > 1:36:34of what you were getting into?

1:36:34 > 1:36:36What it might mean for your life?

1:36:36 > 1:36:39I think I can very safely say, as naive as it sounds now,

1:36:39 > 1:36:43having gone through this learning curve in the past year and a half,

1:36:43 > 1:36:46I didn't have any understanding of just what it would be like.

1:36:46 > 1:36:50I don't think either of us did, we both said that, even though

1:36:50 > 1:36:52we knew that it would be...

1:36:52 > 1:36:56I tried to warn you as much as possible but I think both of us

1:36:56 > 1:36:58were totally surprised by the reaction after the first

1:36:58 > 1:37:01five, six months that we had to ourselves, of what actually

1:37:01 > 1:37:03happened from then.

1:37:03 > 1:37:06So I think you can have as many conversations as you want

1:37:06 > 1:37:09and try to prepare as much as possible but we were totally

1:37:09 > 1:37:11unprepared for what happened after that.

1:37:11 > 1:37:12The scrutiny?

1:37:12 > 1:37:14Well, all sorts.

1:37:14 > 1:37:17And some of that scrutiny - and you ended up making a very

1:37:17 > 1:37:20public statement about it - some of that scrutiny was centred

1:37:20 > 1:37:22around your ethnicity, Meghan, when you realized that,

1:37:22 > 1:37:24what did you think?

1:37:24 > 1:37:28Of course it is disheartening.

1:37:28 > 1:37:31You know, it is a shame that that is the climate in this world,

1:37:31 > 1:37:35to focus that much on that, or that that would be discriminatory

1:37:35 > 1:37:38in that sense, but I think, at the end of the day,

1:37:38 > 1:37:43I am really just proud of who I am and where I come from and we have

1:37:43 > 1:37:45never put any focus on that, we have just focused

1:37:45 > 1:37:49on who we are as a couple.

1:37:49 > 1:37:52It is an immense change, you are getting a new country out

1:37:52 > 1:37:58of it, a husband, obviously, but also giving up your career.

1:37:58 > 1:37:59Sounds nice, doesn't it?

1:37:59 > 1:38:00Yes, it does sound nice.

1:38:00 > 1:38:04But I don't see it as giving anything up, I just see it

1:38:04 > 1:38:05as a change.

1:38:05 > 1:38:06It is a new challenge.

1:38:06 > 1:38:08It is a new chapter.

1:38:08 > 1:38:14And also keep in mind, I have been working on my show seven years.

1:38:14 > 1:38:17So we were very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort

1:38:17 > 1:38:21of longevity on a series and, for me, once we hit the 100 episode

1:38:21 > 1:38:23mark, I thought, you know what?

1:38:23 > 1:38:27I have ticked this box and I feel very proud of the work I have done

1:38:27 > 1:38:31there and now it is time, as you said, work as a team

1:38:31 > 1:38:33with you?

1:38:33 > 1:38:36And Meghan, your parents, do you think while very happy

1:38:36 > 1:38:39for you, obviously, do you think they have worried about the scale

1:38:39 > 1:38:42of what you're getting into?

1:38:42 > 1:38:45Well, I'm sure at the onset, both my parents and my close

1:38:45 > 1:38:48friends were concerned because we got very quickly swept up

1:38:48 > 1:38:52in a media storm that was not part of my life before that but they also

1:38:52 > 1:38:59had never seen me so happy.

1:38:59 > 1:39:02And once my friends were able to really meet Harry and my mum,

1:39:02 > 1:39:08who we spent a lot of time with, it was so much fun.

1:39:08 > 1:39:10Your mum is amazing.

1:39:10 > 1:39:15It was just obvious that, no matter what we were being put

1:39:15 > 1:39:19through, that it was just temporary and that we were going to be able

1:39:19 > 1:39:23to get through that so everybody was really happy.

1:39:23 > 1:39:27He's talked to my dad a few times, he has not been able to meet him

1:39:27 > 1:39:31just yet, but it has all been worth every effort.

1:39:31 > 1:39:32Have you met the Queen?

1:39:32 > 1:39:33I have, yes.

1:39:33 > 1:39:34A couple of times.

1:39:34 > 1:39:35What was that like?

1:39:35 > 1:39:39It is incredible.

1:39:39 > 1:39:43To be able to meet through his lens, not just with his honour and respect

1:39:43 > 1:39:46for her as the monarch, but the love that he has

1:39:46 > 1:39:50for her as his grandmother.

1:39:50 > 1:39:53All of those layers have been so important for me,

1:39:53 > 1:39:56when I met her I had such a deep understanding and,

1:39:56 > 1:39:58of course, incredible respect for being able

1:39:58 > 1:40:01to have the time with her.

1:40:01 > 1:40:04She is an incredible woman.

1:40:04 > 1:40:07And the corgis took to you straightaway!

1:40:07 > 1:40:07That's true.

1:40:07 > 1:40:10For the last 33 years I have been barked at!

1:40:10 > 1:40:12This one walks in and just absolutely nothing.

1:40:12 > 1:40:15Just laying on my feet during tea, it was very sweet.

1:40:15 > 1:40:19Your ring, tell us about your ring.

1:40:19 > 1:40:25The ring is obviously yellow gold because that is her favourite.

1:40:25 > 1:40:28And the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little

1:40:28 > 1:40:32diamonds either side are from my mother's jewellery

1:40:32 > 1:40:34collection to make sure she is with us on this

1:40:34 > 1:40:37crazy journey together.

1:40:37 > 1:40:40It is beautiful, and he designed it.

1:40:40 > 1:40:42It is incredible.

1:40:42 > 1:40:43Yeah.

1:40:43 > 1:40:46Make sure it stays on that finger!

1:40:46 > 1:40:48Of course!

1:40:48 > 1:40:51What does it mean to you to have those stones on your finger,

1:40:51 > 1:40:54that once belonged to Princess Diana?

1:40:54 > 1:40:59I think everything about Harry's thoughtfulness and the inclusion

1:40:59 > 1:41:05of that and obviously not being able to meet his Mom,

1:41:05 > 1:41:10it is so important for me to know that she is a part of this with us.

1:41:10 > 1:41:13What do you think your mother would have thought of Meghan

1:41:13 > 1:41:14or said about Meghan?

1:41:14 > 1:41:18They would have been as thick as thieves, without question.

1:41:18 > 1:41:21She would be over the moon, jumping up and down,

1:41:21 > 1:41:23so excited for me.

1:41:23 > 1:41:28She would have probably been best friends with Meghan.

1:41:28 > 1:41:34It is days like today that I really miss having her around

1:41:34 > 1:41:37and being able to share the happy news but with the ring

1:41:37 > 1:41:40and with everything else going on, I'm sure she's...

1:41:40 > 1:41:40She's with us.

1:41:40 > 1:41:47I am sure she is with us, yeah, jumping up and down somewhere else.

1:41:47 > 1:41:49Meghan's soon-to-be in-laws could not have been happier.

1:41:49 > 1:41:50REPORTER:Congratulations, sir.

1:41:50 > 1:41:52What do you think about the engagement?

1:41:52 > 1:41:52Very kind.

1:41:52 > 1:41:55We are thrilled, thank you very much, for both of them.

1:41:55 > 1:41:57I hope they'll be very happy indeed.

1:41:57 > 1:41:59That is all I can say.

1:41:59 > 1:42:00Absolutely thrilled, it is brilliant.

1:42:00 > 1:42:04As I said, America's loss is our gain.

1:42:04 > 1:42:08For me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge!

1:42:08 > 1:42:12Stop him scrounging off of my food as he's done in the last few years!

1:42:12 > 1:42:13Deeply excited.

1:42:13 > 1:42:15Despite freezing temperatures, the people of Nottingham gave them

1:42:15 > 1:42:21a very warm welcome.

1:42:21 > 1:42:24This was Meghan's first royal walkabout and she handled

1:42:24 > 1:42:25it with aplomb.

1:42:25 > 1:42:31She seems really full of life and down to earth as well.

1:42:31 > 1:42:34My gosh, actually, I think she is wonderful, I watched

1:42:34 > 1:42:38interviews and everything, I think she is great.

1:42:38 > 1:42:40Meghan has committed to the UK.

1:42:40 > 1:42:42She will apply for British citizenship and has left Suits,

1:42:42 > 1:42:45the TV show which made her famous.

1:42:45 > 1:42:48Thank you so much.

1:42:48 > 1:42:52Congratulations!

1:42:52 > 1:42:55Royal fans have until May to get their flags and hats ready

1:42:55 > 1:42:59for the couple's wedding at Windsor Castle.

1:42:59 > 1:43:02A very cold day here in Nottingham does seem a world away

1:43:02 > 1:43:06from Los Angeles and the acting world but this is what Meghan Markle

1:43:06 > 1:43:09is now signed up to.

1:43:09 > 1:43:12She will be meeting the public across the UK and the Commonwealth,

1:43:12 > 1:43:14she has become a key member of Team Windsor,

1:43:14 > 1:43:17in the same year as another key member has finally

1:43:17 > 1:43:24announced his retirement.

1:43:24 > 1:43:27For seven decades, this is an image to which the public

1:43:27 > 1:43:28has become accustomed.

1:43:28 > 1:43:31The Queen accompanied by Britain's longest-serving consort,

1:43:31 > 1:43:36Prince Philip, together with him a couple of steps behind.

1:43:36 > 1:43:39This was a significant day as the announcement had just been

1:43:39 > 1:43:44made that he was to retire from public duties.

1:43:44 > 1:43:47He was in customary good humour, chatting to the members of the Order

1:43:47 > 1:43:49of Merit, swapping stories about hearing aids...

1:43:49 > 1:43:50We have all got them!

1:43:50 > 1:43:58..and joking about retirement.

1:43:58 > 1:44:05"Standing down, I can't stand up much longer," he replied.

1:44:05 > 1:44:08The Duke's decision was not health-related but, at 96,

1:44:08 > 1:44:11he felt he had done his bit.

1:44:11 > 1:44:13As he had remarked the previous day...

1:44:13 > 1:44:17You are seeing the world's most experienced plaque unveiler.

1:44:17 > 1:44:19LAUGHTER.

1:44:19 > 1:44:22It was a surprise but not really a surprise.

1:44:22 > 1:44:24Although having for many years heard it is a job

1:44:24 > 1:44:28from which you cannot retire.

1:44:28 > 1:44:31He has just proved that actually it might be possible to retire,

1:44:31 > 1:44:33which is quite good for the rest of us.

1:44:33 > 1:44:35Whenever he's been, wherever in the world,

1:44:35 > 1:44:39people will continue to remember him and will continue to remember him,

1:44:39 > 1:44:41and you can't really get a better accolade than that.

1:44:41 > 1:44:44Over the years, the Duke has completed more than

1:44:44 > 1:44:4822,000 solo engagements.

1:44:48 > 1:44:50Encouraged millions of young people in more than 60 countries

1:44:50 > 1:44:54to challenge themselves through the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.

1:44:54 > 1:44:56Where did you do your expedition?

1:44:56 > 1:44:57I did it in the north...

1:44:57 > 1:44:59Did you get lost?

1:44:59 > 1:45:02A bit.

1:45:02 > 1:45:05ARCHIVE:And he had time to discuss with Indian officials

1:45:05 > 1:45:06the problems of conserving...

1:45:06 > 1:45:09And been an early advocate of environmental issues

1:45:09 > 1:45:12through his Presidency of the World Wildlife Fund.

1:45:12 > 1:45:15But it'll be his unwavering support for the Queen in this,

1:45:15 > 1:45:17the year of their platinum wedding anniversary,

1:45:17 > 1:45:25which will be seen as his greatest achievement.

1:45:34 > 1:45:35They were married in 1947.

1:45:35 > 1:45:38In the gloom of post-war Britain, their wedding was described

1:45:38 > 1:45:40by Sir Winston Churchill as a flash of colour.

1:45:40 > 1:45:43She, the future Queen, and he the dashing Naval officer.

1:45:43 > 1:45:47In the years since he has travelled the world with her and been her

1:45:47 > 1:45:48companion both in public and private.

1:45:48 > 1:45:51In June it was illness rather than retirement which prevented

1:45:51 > 1:45:55the Duke from being at the Queen's side at the State Opening of

1:45:55 > 1:46:07Parliament.

1:46:07 > 1:46:08Prince Charles took his place.

1:46:08 > 1:46:10But going forward, this will become the norm and,

1:46:10 > 1:46:14although the palace has been keen to emphasise that for the Queen

1:46:14 > 1:46:17it is still business as usual, the gradual transition of roles

1:46:17 > 1:46:19and responsibilities from one generation to the next has

1:46:19 > 1:46:22noticeably accelerated this year.

1:46:22 > 1:46:23LAST POST SOUNDS.

1:46:23 > 1:46:24Most significantly in November.

1:46:24 > 1:46:27For the first time in her 65-year reign, the Queen was present

1:46:27 > 1:46:30at the service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph, in London,

1:46:30 > 1:46:49but she did not lay a wreath.

1:46:49 > 1:46:51Instead, she watched from the Foreign Office balcony,

1:46:51 > 1:46:54alongside her husband, as her son and heir laid a wreath

1:46:54 > 1:46:55on her behalf.

1:46:55 > 1:46:58The Duke will continue to support the Queen at events of his choosing.

1:46:58 > 1:47:00GOD SAVE THE QUEEN PLAYS.

1:47:00 > 1:47:02But this was his final official public engagement.

1:47:02 > 1:47:05Fittingly for a former Royal Navy officer, it was a parade

1:47:05 > 1:47:08for the Royal Marines in front of the palace which has

1:47:08 > 1:47:10been his London home for so many decades.

1:47:10 > 1:47:11ROYAL MARINES:Hip hip hooray!

1:47:11 > 1:47:12Hip hip hooray!

1:47:12 > 1:47:13Hip hip hooray!

1:47:13 > 1:47:15The band's rousing send-off could not have been more

1:47:15 > 1:47:21appropriate.

1:47:21 > 1:47:33BAND PLAYS FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.

1:47:33 > 1:47:36The UK's exit from the EU edges ever closer and new relationships need

1:47:36 > 1:47:40to be formed in Europe and beyond and as this year has

1:47:40 > 1:47:43shown, the Royal Family is uniquely placed to carry out soft diplomacy,

1:47:43 > 1:47:58spreading a little Stardust while reinforcing those

1:47:58 > 1:47:59old bonds of friendship.

1:47:59 > 1:47:59APPLAUSE.

1:47:59 > 1:48:17In the United Kingdom, Irish people make such

1:48:17 > 1:48:20an extraordinary and essential contribution to so many parts

1:48:20 > 1:48:22of our society and our economy.

1:48:22 > 1:48:24Polish is a second most spoken language in the UK,

1:48:24 > 1:48:27with the generation of young people growing up who feel both

1:48:27 > 1:48:48British and Polish.

1:49:04 > 1:49:08APPLAUSE.

1:49:08 > 1:49:10September, and some high-profile bilateral meetings

1:49:10 > 1:49:23for Prince Harry in Canada.

1:49:23 > 1:49:26But this trip was not at the behest of the Foreign Office.

1:49:26 > 1:49:28He was there to help make his brainchild,

1:49:28 > 1:49:30the Invictus Games, the biggest and best yet.

1:49:30 > 1:49:33For eight days, more than 500 athletes from 17

1:49:33 > 1:49:39countries took part.

1:49:39 > 1:49:43All of them had been damaged either physically or mentally in the course

1:49:43 > 1:49:43of serving their countries.

1:49:43 > 1:49:46The Invictus Games where Harry's idea to help them

1:49:46 > 1:49:47on their road to recovery.

1:49:47 > 1:49:51Right now, you are on a high, at the summit of a mountain

1:49:51 > 1:49:53many of you thought was too high to climb.

1:49:53 > 1:49:56You have done it, this is the moment, right here,

1:49:56 > 1:49:58right now, shoulder to shoulder, you are

1:49:58 > 1:49:58Invictus!

1:49:58 > 1:50:03APPLAUSE.

1:50:03 > 1:50:06The Sydney games will take place in October in what is shaping up

1:50:06 > 1:50:08to be a busy 2018 for Prince Harry.

1:50:08 > 1:50:09Tonight on Panorama...

1:50:09 > 1:50:21The offshore secrets of the rich and powerful alt in the open.

1:50:21 > 1:50:24In the year in which Royal headlines were overwhelmingly positive,

1:50:24 > 1:50:25early November was an early exception.

1:50:25 > 1:50:29The Queen and Prince Charles were drawn into a global media story

1:50:29 > 1:50:30looking into offshore investment funds.

1:50:30 > 1:50:36A leak of millions of documents revealed that the Duchy

1:50:36 > 1:50:39of Lancaster, the Queen's private estate, had invested £10 million

1:50:39 > 1:50:41in funds based in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

1:50:41 > 1:50:45Not illegal but questions were asked as to whether this should be held

1:50:45 > 1:50:47the monarch's cash should be invested.

1:50:47 > 1:50:49As Prince Charles toured the Far East, the same questions

1:50:49 > 1:50:52will be asked of his private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall,

1:50:52 > 1:51:01as well as investing offshore, the Prince was also accused

1:51:01 > 1:51:04of a conflict of interest in relation to a particular investment.

1:51:04 > 1:51:06Clarence House was robust in their denial of any wrongdoing.

1:51:06 > 1:51:10The fact that both the Queen and the Prince of Wales voluntarily

1:51:10 > 1:51:13pay tax on income from the private estates did not stop calls

1:51:13 > 1:51:16for greater transparency in the Royal finances in the wake

1:51:16 > 1:51:16of these revelations.

1:51:16 > 1:51:19In times of tragedy, it is the role of the monarch

1:51:19 > 1:51:22to help console and unite the nation and sadly,

1:51:22 > 1:51:25this year, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family have

1:51:25 > 1:51:28been called upon to perform this duty all too often.

1:51:28 > 1:51:30Starting here in Westminster in March, when five

1:51:30 > 1:51:31people were killed.

1:51:31 > 1:51:34Two days after the terror attack, Prince Charles met some of the staff

1:51:34 > 1:51:41at Kings College Hospital, one of several places

1:51:41 > 1:51:42the injured were treated.

1:51:42 > 1:51:44Westminster Abbey and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

1:51:44 > 1:51:56and Prince Harry joined members of the emergency services

1:51:56 > 1:51:58and relatives of those who were killed.

1:51:58 > 1:52:01The message from the service was one of hope, but that proved

1:52:01 > 1:52:02to be short lived.

1:52:02 > 1:52:04In Manchester, just a few weeks later, 22 people,

1:52:04 > 1:52:07including children, were killed and many more injured as they left

1:52:07 > 1:52:30a concert by the pop singer Ariana Grande.

1:52:30 > 1:52:31You had enjoyed the concert?

1:52:31 > 1:52:32It was really good.

1:52:32 > 1:52:35I got to meet her before the concert.

1:52:35 > 1:52:35Did you?

1:52:35 > 1:52:48She won a competition with her friend to meet backstage.

1:52:48 > 1:52:51The Queen met some of those recovering in the city's Children's

1:52:51 > 1:52:51Hospital.

1:52:51 > 1:52:53Very interesting how everybody has united here?

1:52:53 > 1:53:01It has been amazing.

1:53:01 > 1:53:02Really amazing.

1:53:02 > 1:53:02Good.

1:53:02 > 1:53:06No one should have to suffer the losses you have endured yet know

1:53:06 > 1:53:08one could have ensured them with greater fortitude.

1:53:08 > 1:53:10Even amid the unimaginable horror of that attack,

1:53:10 > 1:53:12with the killing of innocent children, we saw outstanding

1:53:12 > 1:53:27examples of the incredible courage.

1:53:27 > 1:53:29Early June and now and all-too-familiar scenes.

1:53:29 > 1:53:31Prince Charles accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall visited

1:53:31 > 1:53:39the Royal London Hospital in the aftermath of the London

1:53:39 > 1:53:40Bridge attack.

1:53:40 > 1:53:42Later that month, a community devastated, this time by fire.

1:53:42 > 1:53:43We were evacuated.

1:53:43 > 1:53:57The flames were just unbelievable.

1:53:57 > 1:53:59You have done a brilliant job in unprecedented circumstances...

1:53:59 > 1:54:03Two days after the Grenfell Tower burned, the Queen and Prince William

1:54:03 > 1:54:05listen to some of those who tried to help.

1:54:05 > 1:54:08Six months later, watched by members of the Royal Family,

1:54:08 > 1:54:10school children who lived near the tower scattered green

1:54:10 > 1:54:12hearts in memory of those who died.

1:54:12 > 1:54:16This was a National Service of Remembrance, community and hope

1:54:16 > 1:54:19that a tragedy such as this would never be repeated.

1:54:19 > 1:54:22Princes William and Harry were just 15 and 12 when their mother,

1:54:22 > 1:54:32Diana, Princess of Wales, died.

1:54:32 > 1:54:35By their own admission, in the years since they had spoken

1:54:35 > 1:54:38very little about the impact on them off death but this year,

1:54:38 > 1:54:4220 years on, they decided to open up about their own trauma

1:54:42 > 1:54:45and their hope was they could start a national conversation around

1:54:45 > 1:55:01the issue of mental health.

1:55:01 > 1:55:04This was the year William, Catherine and Harry showed how

1:55:04 > 1:55:05persuasive a campaign force can be.

1:55:05 > 1:55:08The initiative Heads Together was picked as a London Marathon's

1:55:08 > 1:55:13the charity.

1:55:13 > 1:55:16That high-profile event enabled them to highlight mental health

1:55:16 > 1:55:19and the stigma which can surround it.

1:55:19 > 1:55:22It was the common thread, mental health, it seemed to run

1:55:22 > 1:55:24between military with your self and addiction with me

1:55:24 > 1:55:26and bereavement, there was the underlying threat

1:55:26 > 1:55:32of mental health.

1:55:32 > 1:55:35The pressures on children these days are more than for us,

1:55:35 > 1:55:38you have so many things to worry about, whether it is struggling

1:55:38 > 1:55:42with exams or home life or friends and then the social media angle.

1:55:42 > 1:55:45You can understand why that, coupled with staring at the screen

1:55:45 > 1:55:54the whole time, that a lot of issues will build from that.

1:55:54 > 1:55:57It is always sold as if everybody else's life is perfect

1:55:57 > 1:56:04and you think, there must be something wrong with me.

1:56:04 > 1:56:07If you can have a family environment where you can talk openly

1:56:07 > 1:56:10about your issues, that means working better at your job,

1:56:10 > 1:56:12doing better at school, it goes on and on.

1:56:12 > 1:56:15It was a very personal campaign for the Princes,

1:56:15 > 1:56:18they took part in a BBC documentary following a group of people

1:56:18 > 1:56:31with mental health issues as they trained for the marathon.

1:56:31 > 1:56:33The shock is the biggest thing and 20 years later,

1:56:33 > 1:56:37I still have shock within me about my mother, shock cannot last

1:56:37 > 1:56:39that long, people think, but it does.

1:56:39 > 1:56:42You never get over it, such a non-believer be big moment

1:56:42 > 1:56:46in your life and it never leaves you, you just learn to deal with it.

1:56:46 > 1:56:49It can have been no coincidence that William and Harry chose this year

1:56:49 > 1:56:51to open up about their mother.

1:56:51 > 1:56:54In August, just as had been the case in 1997,

1:56:54 > 1:56:57the gates guarding Kensington Palace were strewn with flowers and other

1:56:57 > 1:56:58tributes to Diana, Princess of Wales.

1:56:58 > 1:57:01A reminder that memory lives on in the public consciousness.

1:57:01 > 1:57:04Looking at them, it was impossible not to think back to the young

1:57:04 > 1:57:07princes in the days following Diana's death in a car

1:57:07 > 1:57:08accident in Paris.

1:57:08 > 1:57:1120 years on, Harry spoke of the shock they both thought.

1:57:11 > 1:57:14As part of their mental health campaign, William and Catherine

1:57:14 > 1:57:26appeared on radio one.

1:57:54 > 1:57:56Do you think, it's not like that at all!

1:58:06 > 1:58:08Yes, lots of children's programmes!

1:58:08 > 1:58:11Some of them are really good but you have to pretend you're

1:58:11 > 1:58:14interested because George gets very upset if you're not showing due

1:58:14 > 1:58:25diligence to the characters.

1:58:25 > 1:58:27Starting in September, Prince George would have had less

1:58:27 > 1:58:30time to watch television as he started school.
