the past year has been "quite bumpy", adding that "small steps" can heal divisions. thousands of volunteer fire fighters will spend christmas day battling wildfires that are still ravaging australia. a warning from nhs england to parents, keep button batteries, the type found in toys, festive lights, and musical christmas cards, away from children. doris day, clive james, toni morrison and albert finney — just a few of those whose lives are now celebrated now in review 2019: we remember. # loneliness is a cloak you wear

# a deep shade of blue is always there #the sun ain't going to shine any more i hate people in the business who bitch about the business in such an awful light, at first it was fantastic for the first couple of albums. but then it really wears you down, touring in those days was very primitive, it was really a lot of hard work and you couldn't find anything good to eat anywhere. # there's no regrets # no tears goodbye

# i don't want you back # we'd only cry again # say goodbye again he sings were trying to get everyone else to

see that teenagers aren'tjust were trying to get everyone else to see that teenagers aren't just a group of young people, they really have a lot to offer, they are an intelligent group of people. we pro bally intelligent group of people. we probally are better as friends. there they were, long hair, gear, everything to make the fans smile. # cheer up sleeppyjean. ..

sophie opened the door and there was a big, furry, stripey tiger. it was just a bedtime story i made up for my little daughter. she made me tell it again and again and again. she used to say, talk the tiger. when my son was born, i used to tell it to him. when they were both at school, i thought perhaps i could make that into a picture book. i upset him somehow but he won't to tell me how. said i should be able to work it out for myself. and can you? no because i'm not psychic fran.

i'm not talking to him either. i really do believe that this is the heart of british cooking. this is what cooking is all about. i think this holds all the fundamental elements of good cooking. do you know, the first pudding ever made was about 25 years ago and it was from this very book which was my mum's, thanks mum. i always wanted to cook at school, in fact i had to keep it a secret from my friends. i was at home making light lemon sponges when they were playing football. it looks good, doesn't it? now, of course, all we need is the ice cream. a bullet went in through this leg, broke out, came out here, entered this leg and came out on the other side. the first thing i noticed was that it was almost as if a switch had been thrown and my feet had been switched off. you have been watching channel 4 news. now tell your friends. good evening and that is all from the bbc newsroom tonight. its roasting, diane! it's roasting outside! everybody is so happy.

i'm going to come to one of your concerts and come on stage and come alongside you. got to love diane. you've made it sunshine for everybody. for once. over the next decade there are plans to build almost half a million new homes in the capital. the need to ensure these are of a reasonable size and well designed is urgent but unless at developers act now, london may end up with an even bigger housing problem. # who's going to come around... # who's going to come around... # you can't go on thinking nothing is wrong

# who's going to drive you home tonight #. do you deny that nigel would have stayed if you had sacked professor? i don't know. that is a terrible admission prime minister. you don't know? you could have kept your chancellor, possibly, if you had sacked your part—time adviser.

getting the message now, are you? car old reg, ain't it a shame. no one gave a toss about him before. i mean, he weren't our neighbour, he wasjust some bloke that lived upstairs. came and went as he liked, he was blind drunk of the time. he was a nasty old man. anybody who says any different, is a hypocrite, i should tell them so. when you're in front of 5000 people and you go out there and just with the aid of the music and visual performance, you can stir all them people up into a frenzy and that is almost like starting a massive fire or a riot. you know, a person is not

needed, there may be problems that are more important in the world so has to go with time. french music plays eric, say hello to mr preview.

mr preview, how are you? you're playing all the wrong notes. i'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order. i'm just very happy that i'm a musician. which branch of the music is actually immaterial, i am just very pleased to be a musician. a wonderful thing to be. i have the great privilege of having a lot of low notes, a very strong

middle voice and high notes as well. growing up, i listened to a great, great deal of gospel music. if a diva is a person that takes the profession of singing very seriously, and wants to do the very best that is in me each time that i go out on the stage, then i am one. sheffield united attack but banks

was safe in the leicester goal. portugal tried to hit back only to find banks showing he has displayed all along. a few anxious seconds and banks again had the ball away. # banks, he was there... and every single one... because we love him. i had the ball. ijumped to save the ball

then i looked there. i'd just get my hand to it and it goes in that direction and honest to god i thought it was a goal, when i hit the floor, boom, like that, the position, i turn around and i see it bounce behind the goal. i couldn't believe it. when that feeling came, you get a big fright. you're really worried and frightened that you are going to die and then it means that you start doing everything possible to keep yourself going and you can't start your body because the body doesn't react. you can only start your brain which means you hear voices, for example names, why is he here, why is he not here and the thing is tojust keep the brain working and if the brain is working

the body starts to work. the defenders of id cards say that we already have to carry lots of id, you need to establish your identity in order to establish your entitlement into certain leisure centres or claim benefits or entitlement into certain buildings but this new card establishes your entitlement to go outside. people say, well they're a good idea because we had them in the second world war but in the second world war

it was just a piece of cardboard that said this is mr wilkins, he's not a german spy. this will be this digitised, magnetised thing which says this is mr wilkins, he may not be a german spy that he has a genetic heart defect, his sister is against gm crops and he took a video late back to blockbuster in 1977. ——i997 how long has your father being a naturist? i think there must be some mistake, he has always been c of e. do they take their clothes off? i think it's a cry for help, dear. mind the lorry. it's turning left. and there is no lady on the pavement? i'm on the road so everything is as it should be. i like my peas well done. i have two things to watch and all you had was the pies. and the bread—and—butter. then where is it? it's available if anyone wants it. which means you haven't done it. ok, i haven't done it.

so don't go on about my peas. have you two develop some throat trouble? we're just having a discussion about the meal. what meal? they call me king of the swift guitar. some people just play with their fingers but there are people who take that instrument and as i talk to you i get thick skin too, they take that instrument and they wrap it around them. it is them. come on, you're wasting time.

another calculated risk. try and get it right this time. are you ready? no, but do it anyway. good luck. all the doors in this spacecraft have a cheerful and sunny disposition. it is their pleasure to open for you and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done. back to the earth's surface. hateful, isn't it? come on, i have been ordered to take you up to the bridge. here i am, brain the size of a planet and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. one. 0k scott, you're in charge. what'll be your first decision.

that's easy, the guy that supposed to be this kind of leader of the pack. what's up scott? nothing, john. just wondering how things were with you. i put that mask on and to be transformed, the attitude was different, the walk was different, do the scenes, come back, take the mask off, i was back. man in space. he is walking in space. he's walking in space. with no support, no top, no bottom. everything is weightless.

he's walking in space. i watched sea beans glitter in the dark. all those moments that we lost in time like tears in rain. there's nothing like a good drying day to put the spring back into your polyester. i was one of the only scientists

working on the sea pollution, pollution of the sea when he went down. i wished i'd brought my anorak because it really is wet down here and it's got to be because when it comes to evaporation, mosses suffer more than most. you think your white skin makes you better than me, don't you? we both finished fighting a war for a better world. when it first came out, i sort of said to the publicist, just give me a basket, iwill take them door—to—door. i really thought nobody was going to be interested. for every one slave that went to america, 12 went to the caribbean. it was massive. you come quick as... have you finished the dress?

i play to what i hear. and it's all that's happening all the time which is why it is never the same. applause # why don't

you ask them what they expect from you # why don't you tell them what you are going to do # you'll get so lonely, maybe it's better that way # you got something to say # do anything you want to do #. # she goes nah nah nah nah... # mirror in the bathroom, you're my mirror in the bathroom # your my mirror in the bathroom #.

# don't you tell it to the breeze because she will tell the birds and bees i went to a fortune—teller once, she told me one day i would be a soldier. but who knows, lovely boy, one day it might come true. you can rely on the sergeant major,

the only thing i can rely on.. # you tell them all the old things # they are buried under the snow # whispering grass, don't tell the trees don't need to know #. stomach trouble, you should bring your own flask. if it's good enough for others it's good enough for me. pick another one, share and share alike is no good. if you're going to put your hands around my legs, as davenport scott did, and around my calves, not my thighs. he nearly ruptured me twice. he was home secretary at 37, lord of the admiralty at 50, chancellor of the exchequer, doing pretty well.

now look at me. no power, no prospect of power, look at hitler. welcome once again to the bbc first deregulated, lead—free, sole financing, fully sponsored tv programme. for your protection, the full show has been pre—boiled for one minute. the giant toad having joined the water dwelling worms amongst the plastic pans, coffin numberthree is uncovered. filling the double doors to bathe my eyes, a final flood of colours will live on as my mind dies, burnt by my vision of a world that shone so brightly at the last and then was gone. # will be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon i'm still doris mary anne kappelhoff hough from cincinnati, ohio, from a lovely family and all i ever wanted was to get married. keep the house nice and clean and live happily ever after and i ended up in hollywood.

you ain't the kind of gal to break a date. no i'm not. and i ain't the kind of guy that would ask you to. i know you're not. i had a great time and wore all the gorgeous clothes and worked with jimmy, i mean, how bad can it be? # whatever will be will be #. will be the christmas focus will be looking very different from one day to the next. today has been a day for chasing rainbows and we have had a few showers around, it is generally dried off a bit across northern parts of anger but the heavier showers further south but

across cambridgeshire, generally through east anglia we have mist most of the showers, earlier on there were some thundery ones across south wales and south west england but those heavier showers are putting towards the south—east of england. further north, still some showers, a bit more cloud around, it is quite chilly as we head into the early evening across north—east of scotland. still very mild thoughts southern parts of england and wales as we have a strong more cloud around, it is quite chilly as we head into the early evening across north—east of scotland. still very mild for southern parts of england and wales as we have this august winds which should blow changes. even these i think will fade away overnight. skies were clear, winds will drop, temperatures will drop, at least we are looking at —— the list were looking at is ground frost. a sparkling start to christmas day as it is a day of blue skies and lots of sunshine. one or two early showers to clear away from northern scotland, otherwise it is going to be a dry day. you can see the extent of the sunshine. light winds for most of the day, probably sing a bit more cloud arriving up to

northern ireland later on. for the northern half of the uk, temperatures still around five to 7 degrees. for the south at his pub going to be a bit chillier than it has been for the past few days. if you're going to be travelling, beware of fog patches. —— it is probably going to be a bit chillier. there is fog patches might become quite dense but the more clear away by boxing day morning, more cloud comes in and we see a spot of rain and moving into. some snow over the top of the pennines and then in the scottish mountains. blustery winds will feed into more rain into northern ireland, western parts of england and wales where it is still very mild. temperatures are likely to be in double figures, chillier day in the east. that should be occurring away as we head overnight, maybe some more weather fronts on the scene as we head towards the end of the week. high pressure towards continental europe, low—pressure out to the atlantic and a weather front disc straddling the north—west of the uk. we are going to feed in some south to south—westerly winds, air coming in from the azores and it

means it is going to be very mild as we head towards the end of the week and into the main but most areas dry. a lot of cloud perhaps but there is temperatures by day could be as high as 13 or 1a celsius.

this is bbc news. the duke of edinburgh has left hospital — in time to spend christmas with the queen at sandringham. the queen will use her christmas day message to say the past year has been "quite bumpy" — adding that "small steps" can heal divisions. thousands of volunteer fire fighters will spend christmas day battling wildfires that are still ravaging australia. a warning from nhs england to parents — keep button batteries — the type found in toys, festive lights, and musical christmas cards — away from children. and in half an hour — we'll be taking a look at the global makeup industry, and asking: what are beauty products doing to the planet?
