king's christmas message will be delivered from a former hospital chapel — rather than buckingham palacee of india's most respected film—makers, shaam benegal, has died at the age of 90. now on bbc news — a look back at the royal year. a year like no other. first the king, then the princess of wales diagnosed with cancer. this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. good man, this one. prince william called it the hardest year of his life, supporting his wife and family while flying the flag for britain abroad — honouring the fallen on the beaches of normandy 80 years on from d—day. and harry, the party prince, back in the uk. last christmas, there was nothing to suggest that 2024 would be a royal year dominated by illness. but three weeks later, first, a palace statement that the princess of wales had had planned abdominal surgery the previous day, and the following hour it was announced the king was to undergo a procedure for an enlarged prostate. by the time the king le

but three weeks later, first, a palace statement that the princess of wales had had planned abdominalurgery the previous day, and the following hour it was announced the king was to undergo a procedure for an enlarged prostate. by the time the king left hospital after a three—night stay... how are you feeling? ..health groups were reporting a significant increase in men getting their own prostates checked. the king seemed in good spirits, but the news was about to take a dramatic turn. hello. good evening. welcome to bbc news where, in the last few moments, we've received breaking news from buckingham palace, which has announced that the king has been diagnosed with cancer. the news thatjust nine months after his coronation the king had cancer made headlines around the world. he and the queen departed london for the peace and solitude of sandringham in norfolk. he and the queen departed london for the peace and solitude of sandringham in norfolk. before they left, after a dash from california, there was a 45—minute face—to—face meeting with prince harry — their first for months. princ

we saw her up there on the buckingham palace balcony for trooping the colour.rse, she wasn't here at the state visit we had earlier in the year with the emperor of japan. but for her to be here today is an important moment for her. i think it's a reminder, of course, her and prince of wales, prince william, had that important role of collecting and bringing the sheikha and the emir over here, making sure that everything was a proper welcome, you know, really felt like the red carpet had been rolled out. and the king will have been very grateful for the support of the prince and princess of wales. i mean, we have certainly had moments in the royal calendar this year where the royal family has looked pretty skeletal, quite thin on the ground. i think today is a reminder that as we come to the end of a difficult year for the royal family, they were very much out in force. as you say, we didn't have the queen here for the official welcome, but she is there for the lunch. she'll be there this evening for the state banquet. so it feels a little different to what we'r

the palace offered no comment.y called the warmth of the reception from the thousands of people, and an alpaca, return to greet the couple. no trip to australia would have been complete without a barbecue in the sunshine. the king and queen seemed quite at home cooking the local produce. for the final appearance, back in sydney, the biggest crowd so far. the king seemed to be in his element. this was goodbye to australia. next stop, a warm welcome and samoa for the commonwealth heads of government meeting, chogm, as it's known. the king is the organisation's head and this was a gathering of prime ministers and presidents. some of those present wanted to push for compensation for the impact of slavery. it was an issue the king with a nod to in his opening address. none of us can change the past, but we can commit with all our hearts to learn its lessons and to finding creative ways to right inequalities that endure. those working closely with the king said the tour to australia and samoa had lifted his spirits, his

let's speak to kasia madera, who is outside buckingham palace in central london.hank you very much and welcome to buckingham palace, where the diplomatic red carpet has indeed been rolled out for the sheikh of qatar, the leader of this gulf state, very wealthy and influential gulf states, a gulf state with a close relationship with the united kingdom. the qatari flags interspersed with the union flag are flying on the mall, which is tradition for these big state visits. we heard last night the queen will have her roles and responsibilities somewhat reduced, she is recovering from a chest infection from early november so the outside roles will be somewhat reduced for her, no taking part in the ceremonial welcome and inspection of the troops at horse guards parade, no processions in open carriages along the mall but she will be taking part in the formal lunch. but the princess of wales will be taking part later today in those first instances of this ceremonial state visits, the kind of state visit that is precisely a meticulously detailed down to the last detail and

they gathered this morning outside this palace, presidential palace.aving the palace but she would remain with people. she considers herself as the only legitimate leader, president in georgia. because both she and the opposition have claimed repeatedly that 0ctober parliamentary elections in the country were stolen. therefore they do not recognise the legitimacy of the parliament that nominated and voted and today inaugurated mikheil kavelashvili as the next president. i think the next question is will there be international recognition of mikheil kavelashvili as georgia's president? will he get congratulations from the european union, united states, two days ago the united states government imposed sanctions against the most powerful man in georgia. he is the founder of the ruling party, georgian dream. very strict sanctions, asset freezes and so on. in a statement the us state department said sanctions are being imposed for undermining democratic and euro atlantic future of georgia for the benefit of the russian federation. that is why we have seen

we also saw his private palace, but the guest palace was vast, we had to go through the window. make sure we didn't take anything. they checked us when we went out so we hadn't looted anything. they are trying to keep these palaces under control. but it was a surreal experience walking through these vast palatial compounds and seeing them completely empty. they had been looted quickly, but the palaces are still in tact. i turned on the taps, the water is still flowing. the art is still on the walls. it was more of a smash and grab looting, people went in, they opened the doors, they flipped over beds looking to see if they could find any valuables. and what was interesting about these guest palaces is that they were still working on them. there was construction underway. some o.f the furniture was wrapped in plastic. chandeliers looked like they were in the process of being hung. some were just cables. so this regime, right to the end, was still building palaces, was still renovating palaces, and according to iranian officials, iran backed up bashar al assad, and people close to

and that loyalty will never change whether i'm in the palace or whether i'm outside the palace. i will walk out of here. i will come out to you and i will be with you. c this building belongs to no one. this building was a symbol, as long as there was a legitimate president sitting here, i'm taking that legitimacy with me. i'm taking the flag with me. i'm taking your trust with me. it doesn't mean that she's accepted defeat. in fact, she's being quite clear, she remains in here point to view the only legitimately elected to flee that in georgia. however, as you saw in some of those images that she has decided to leave the presidential palace. and i think that's pretty key because she had been threatened by the prime minister of georgia of being jailed if she remained bad because she said that that would constitute a crime in the country. so she did leave the presidential palace. what she will do does next, it's not clear. the question is, does she feel that she's got the backing for a fight or no. i mean look at the protest movement. it's a very small compared to the goals. just

you join us at buckingham palace wherejust you join us at buckingham palace where just further down their starmer, and him, this is his first royal state visit as the leader of the united kingdom as prime minister, so for him, a critical trip, a critical moment because he would like to build those relations with qatar, important in terms of we know that qatar already has billions of pounds worth of wealth invested in the uk, so no doubt sir keir starmer wants to build on that, and that is what these state visits are all about. it is that soft diplomacy, red carpet diplomacy, the pomp and ceremony that these royal state visits really bring about when it comes to building ties, building those bilateral relations between countries, between the united kingdom and between the united kingdom and between countries such as qatar. obviously, there is controversy when it comes to qatar itself, we know that when it came to the world cup there was a lot of concern as to the country's human rights record, but today what we are looking at, although there will no doubt come up as well because i know a

is the political gave off the palace. so somebody has been receiving the ip guy said, digging authorities through this gate. and now this palace of the present, bishop, i said, or for syria and leaving the country and going to moscow and the officer, the position 5 is taken over to the capital. they have rushed into this palace and now it is fully under the control. i was just the, just in the protocol whole and seeing the fights of still being here. now they do not want to be shown on the camera due to the security concerns. now you can see that there are still of the broken glasses over here that happen when they have stormed into the palace on 7th or off of december. but on the other hand, we see that there is probably measures in the mass cuz the security forces of the positions are everywhere. there are several check points. and of course, the power to cause the electricity, the lights are turned off. and it's not just because of the lack of the resources, but they're seeing that as well as being some, all scores off

, at saintjames's palace, and at windsor castle.luence did he have at the very highest levels of the british establishment? m15 has become more worried in recent times about china's influence and intelligence gathering in the uk. we see the chinese authorities playing the long game in cultivating contacts to manipulate opinion in china's favour, seeking to co—opt and influence not just prominent parliamentarians from across the political landscape, but people much earlier in their careers and public life, gradually building a debt of obligation. the chinese embassy has called the allegations of spying a baseless smear, but there are now growing calls from some politicians for h6 to be named in the interests of national security. it was his girlfriend that was the key element in this. prince andrew stopped being a working member of the royal family after details were revealed of his friendship with convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. ever since, questions have been asked about how the prince has been funding his 30—room mansion in

that's what everybody has to know as well when she left the presidential palace. she was greeted with the crowd of around 2000 protesters bad to support her as she did leave. and the, i don't know if you know about this, but there is a christmas market right outside the presidential palace. there was a train that she didn't get on the train, but i think metaphorically, you could say she kind of passed a really dramatic depth that you were in the thick of it all the, during the protest in the capital to be c and the solve it 1st hand, how things on for the one function against the other one group against the honda? how do you think things are going to eat, evolve in the country? do you think the protest is going to continue? well, i think the next few hours are going to be the crunch point. a width of this protests, we've been donated, dash o it's finds a renew of life. and that's because when the process started, so that the end of november into december, we were seeing up to 100000 people act on the streets, not just in to please see, but across the country. i me

the result takes palace four points clear of the relegation zone.coring twice for the visitors to give palace their first win over brighton in seven games. palace are now unbeaten in five games, and are in 15th place in the table. celtic have won the scottish league cup beating rangers in a thrilling match which was eventually decided by a penalty shoot out after rangers' ridvan yilmaz�*s effort was saved by kasper schmeichel. and it was daizen maeda who scored to win the trophy for celtic. it was 3—3 after 90 minutes and extra time. the result continues brendan rodgers's record of never having lost at hampden park and leaves rangers boss phillippe clement still looking for his first derby victory. i think it was a really great final. the game that finishes 3—3 after extra time and penalties, people will get their money's worth watching it, but ultimately you want to be on the right side of it, and thankfully we were. let's round up some of the big results around the rest of europe. in italy, fiorentina lost ground in the serie a title race as they
