and i'm meghan. one of the things my husband and i have always talked about is our passion for meeting people and hearing their stories. and, no matter what the story, they usually offer you an understanding of where someone else is coming from. and at the same time, remind you in some way of a story about yourself. and that's what this project is all about, to bring forward different perspectives and voices that perhaps you haven't heard before. yes of course you will be hearing much more of that. a few weeks ago we brought you the story of ghana, the five month old spaniel puppy who survived this nerve racking the close encounter with a florida alligator, his owner was on hand to rescue him and he became a bit of a star, making it out with only a small puncture wound. we will bring you an update on this, not only is he making a speedy recovery, last week he was deputised by the lead county sarah's offers, and will be enlisted to educate children about safety. thank you so much for watching —— s

for anybody, but it has been a particularly awkward year for the royal family with the departure of meghan and prince harry and the allegation against prince andrew, we don't have any idea whether or not she will mention those during the speech? i think it is highly unlikely to be honest that those particular issues which have been so contentious, so difficult, so personalfor contentious, so difficult, so personal for the contentious, so difficult, so personalfor the queen contentious, so difficult, so personal for the queen this year, it i think it is unlike will i think that will come up during the queen's christmas message, it is not something she would normally raise during her christmas message, something that is a personal challenge for her, it is much more likely to deal with the broader challenges that the country and the commonwealth have faced over the past few months, particularly of course around the challenges presented by dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, so i think we can expect her to deal with some of those particular issues around that area, like we saw in april when

and meghan and harry, they will be celebrating christmas in california. , thank you very much. what a year it has been for captain sir thomas more. ——what a year it's been for captain sir tom moore, the former british army officer and centenarian, known for his achievements raising millions of pounds for charity in the run—up to his 100th birthday during the covid—i9 pandemic. we've been following his story every step of the way and john maguire has been to catch up with him and find out about his christmas plans. it's been a year like no otherfor all of us. but for captain sir tom moore, 2020 has seen him catapulted from his back garden to worldwide adoration, and to a specially convened ceremony where he was knighted by her majesty the queen. december‘s always a time to look forward, but also back to boyhood christmases during the 1920s. you got up at six o'clock in the morning to see what father christmas had left overnight. when we were small boys, or small children, we didn't get a stocking, we got a pillowcase. you knew there'd be an orange at the bottom of it s

at the start of the year, prince harry's war on tabloid culture led to the departure of him, meghan, their son from official duties. there was a multi—million pound deal with netflix and a sympathetic book about them serialised in the times. all the while, they are pursuing legal action against several of britain's newspapers. there will be headlines aplenty from court in the coming year. in october, extraordinary allegations re—surfaced that martin bashir‘s astonishing interview from 25 years ago was partly obtained through forged bank statements. bashir who is recovering from a major operation hasn't spoken, but the director general of the bbc has announced an independent investigation led by a formerjudge. one of the central figures in that investigation will be davey‘s predecessor, tony hall, director of news when the diana interview aired. he bowed out after seven years of director general this summer, and is his exit interview, he addressed content and in ways the bbc might need to change in a world ripped asunder by technology. chris patten, then chairman of the bbc se

the times leads on that same story, but also carries a picture of meghan markle, who's made her first public appearance since revealing she'd suffered a miscarriage. and the i says the surge in covid infections in the south means the prime minister is being urged to rethink the easing of measures over christmas. so welcome back, chaps. let's kick off with the times and the covid variant. and talk us through what the times is saying and indeed then we will go tojohn on the guardian and just how different papers are treating this. so the times has gone really for these reliving announcements that we had the day from the health secretary matt hancock, first of all that london will go into tier 3. that is significant obviously because of the population and that is another 11 million people and also parts of essex and hartford sure as well. this is because cases are rising pretty rapidly but the second really big announcement today was about this variant strain of coronavirus that's been identified and it's some tests a nd that's been identified and it's some tests and studies they've done
