a bill to implement the brexit deal has passed through parliament and takes effect at 11 o'clock tonight — when the uk will stop following eu rules. millions more people in england wake up to the strictest level of restrictions — tier 4 — meaning they will have to mark the new year at home. the pandemic is also casting its shadow over new year's eve celebrations in europe — france is mobilising 100,000 police officers to enforce anti—coronavirus measures. some secondary school pupils in england face a delayed return to school, with mandatory remote learning for pupils who aren't in years 11 or 13. it comes ahead of a government roll—out of mass testing. formula one world champion, lewis hamilton receives a knighthood in the queen's new year's honours — alongside members of the public recognised for their efforts this year. let's take a look back now at some

11:32 am
you have a very disarming nature. and it really did, i think, advance feminism. well, judging by the letters i got. isn't it customary to grant a condemned man his last request? you asked for this. she wasn'tjust physical, she was also pretty well—equipped. intellectually, she was as clever as a man. computers... she was very self—sufficient. you're full of surprises, contessa. so are you, mr bond. do you always arm yourself for a rendezvous? the lords in westeros are sheep. are you a sheep? no, you're a dragon. # lean on me # when you're not strong # and i'll be your friend
11:33 am
# i'll help you carry on # for it won't be long # till i'm going to need # somebody to lean on...# # ain't no sunshine when she's gone # it's not warm when she's away # ain't no sunshine when she's gone # she's always gone too long # any time she goes away...# # does an angel contemplate my fate ? # cheering and applause hello, and welcome to this brand—new series of love island.
11:34 am
# thoughts running through my head # and i feel the love is dead # i'm loving angels instead...# cheering and applause # whomp bopa—a—lu—a # whop bam bop, tutti—frutti! # tutti-frutti!# i wanted to sound different. me and the young kids was tired of all that slow music. we wanted to boogie. # tutti-frutti!# so what i did, i started singing tutti—frutti loud. just screaming! # bop bopa—a—lu a whop bam boo!# # lucille! # baby, satisfy my heart...#
11:35 am
# you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille # with four hungry children and a crop in the field # i've had some bad times # lived through some sad times # but this time your hurting won't heal. ..# my mom said it very well one day. she said, "that boy never worked a day in his life. all he ever did was sing." # i promised you, dad, not to do the things that you done # i walk away from trouble when i can # now please don't think i'm weak # i couldn't turn the other cheek # papa, i sure hope you understand # sometimes you got to fight when you're a man...# # islands in the stream # that is what we are # no one in between # how can we be wrong? # sail away with me # to another world # and we rely on each other # from one lover to another...
11:36 am
# sail away... # oh, come sail away!# and now, from norwich, it's the quiz of the week. i'm proud of the fact that i helped create a huge success. you don't buck success. hello, and welcome to the sale of the century. but i don't want to be remembered just for sale of the century. as a straight man, you know how to throw out the lines so the comic will have a good springboard to come back and make some facetious or humorous or witty response. and also you know how to take a joke
11:37 am
at your expense, cos the comedian, the straight man in a relationship is always the one who's put down. # i am woman, hear me roar # in numbers too big to ignore # and i know too much to go back and pretend # oh, yes, i'm wise # but it's wisdom born of pain # yes, i've paid the price # but look how much i gained # if i have to, i can do anything # i am strong # i am invincible # i am woman...# i didn't know what you could and couldn't do. but i was full of what orson welles called the confidence of ignorance.
11:38 am
you know, it's like i don't know that i'm breaking rules cos i don't know what the rules are. we won't be there when you cross the road, so always use the... ..green cross code. i almost got the sack from the government because they thought that my image as darth vader would have a detrimental effect on my image as the green cross code man. you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. take her away. could you explain this to me? what? this, this stuff on my plate. it's your dinner. i know it's my dinner, but could you identify the various heaps? very well, listen carefully,
11:39 am
blackadder, i won't repeat this. put your underpants on your head and stick two pencils up your nose. # my boy lollipop # you make my heart go giddy—up # you are as sweet as candy # you're my sugar dandy # whoa—oh, my boy lollipop # never ever leave me # because it would grieve me # my heart told me so...# well, there's an old saying in my game, son. you can't put in what god's left out. now, you leave it to me, i'll watch you, i'll observe, and if i think i can help,

11:41 am
were unfit for children? yes, that's her. you see, you have much less to do now that you're prime minister. you no longer have a department of your own. you can't be serious. oh, yes. everything you've always read in the paper about how hard the prime minister has to work is a bit of a myth, really. it's put out by the press office as a matter of course, but if you think about it, what do you have to do? chair the cabinet? two and a half hours a week. ridiculous, there must be more to it than that! well, of course, you'll have to read all the briefs and we'll rush you from place to place shaking hands with people. but other than that, well, there's lots of things people want you to do and lots of things you should do, and many things you can do, but very few things you have to do. after all, it's up to you.

11:44 am
megalomaniac and vain. you shot at them with rubber bullets and gas. the crowd was marching over there. the leaders were going to speak to you. before we even got there, you opened fire. there's not a single injustice in northern ireland today that justifies the taking of a single human life. today, we can take a collective breath and begin to blow away, let's hope, the cobwebs of the past. # is give peace a chance...# dave, which british artist's work

he said, "that's going to be the biggest bust in town." and i wouldn't think of contradicting my boss. so i said, "even so, mr warner, i would like to be in it, i really would." i'm spartacus! i never thought of becoming a tycoon or anything. it gave me the chance to do movies i wanted to do. like i wanted to do spartacus, i wanted to do a movie about vikings, paths of glory. would you like me to suggest what you can do with that promotion? those were movies, they were not easy, even though they were quite successful, it was not easy to get the financing for them and all that. # get up # get on up # stay on the scene # get on up # like a sex machine # get on up...# on my signal, open north—west section 17. wa kanda forever!
11:55 am
i know what it means to see somebody that looks like you and play the hero and the villain. and have the freedom to be both things. why should i not be glad to contemplate the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window and the high tide reflected on the ceiling? there will be dying, there will be dying, but there is no need to go into that. the poems flow from the hand unbidden, and the hidden source is the watchful heart. the sun rises in spite of everything, and the far cities are beautiful and bright. and i hear in a riot of sunlight, watching the day break and the clouds fly, everything
11:56 am
is going to be all right. # there'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of dover...# this little girl from the east end would never have had the opportunity if she had never been singing. if my mother hadn't put me on the stage. i know europe were getting well supplied. i want to go somewhere where there isn't any entertainers. so they said, "well, burma's the only place, you know?" # roll out the barrel...# # we'll meet again # don't know where, don't know when # but i know we'll meet again some sunny day!#
