charles, and their parents, prince william and catherine. let's speak to john let's speak tojohn mcmanus outside the hospital. we saw those images of the hospital. we saw those images of the duke leaving the hospital. he left in singularly good health from what we can see from the pictures. prince philip himself not saying anything to the media, no surprises there. no clues as to what prompted this day for four nights at the hospital, the palace only saying it was a precautionary measure, but they were not saying what the precaution was against. the duke keeping tight—lipped about that, and the entire royal family. keeping tight—lipped about that, and the entire royalfamily. prince charles making very few comments yesterday when he was in yorkshire. he said when you get to that age some things don't work as they should when you get to that age with your body. people with elderly pa rents your body. people with elderly parents will agree. he is going back to sandringham to hopefully enjoy a peaceful christmas. the hospital not saying anyt

that is prince charles. i apologise, the airto that is prince charles. i apologise, the air to the throne, prince charles, is 71, and he's already been assuming more of her duties and it's been reported in many papers that the queen is stepping down from her duties and the prince is stepping up. that isn't fading into history, it is a natural succession plan. she is 93 and you haven't got the energy. and the stamina to, you know, fulfil the royal duties, of which the list is extremely long. what it talks about is it calls the royal family" the firm", what it talks about is it calls the royalfamily" the firm", and insiders refer to them as such, and charles is taking more of a grip, especially on this problematic pr disaster of his younger brother, prince andrew. and there have been allegations that the royal family we re allegations that the royal family were concerned... allegations that the royal family were concerned. . . 0!’ allegations that the royal family were concerned... 0r prince charles was concerned this would overshadow the general electio

i think prince charles, you know, he understood exactly what i was saying. you know, it's incredibly frustrating. three feet of water submerged the village for more than a week. thousands were affected across yorkshire and the midlands. this is where all the kitchen units were. people who now face a miserable christmas. we're not in a position that we're anywhere that we feel is home. and, to us, christmas should be at home. we've had to explain to everybody, you know, we appreciate you sending christmas cards, but don't be expecting anything from us this year, i'm really sorry. we just don't feel in the mood or in that position to celebrate. the prince met local politicians who've called for a regional version of cobra, the government emergency response committee. climate change is undoubtedly a factor. so, we do need to look very carefully at what's happened here. and we need investment. we need to ensure that our flood defenses are fit for purpose, because i don't want to be here in five years or ten years having this same conversation. when a royal‘s i

moments from now he is due to sit down with prince charles. in about an hour, the president will attend a reception. then another reception later this evening, with british prime minister boris johnson. this is a "outnumbered" and i'm melissa francis. here today with kennedy composed of "kennedy," dagen mcdowell, fox news contributor jessica tarlov, and in the center seat, fox & friends weekend cohost pete hegseth. we will cheat on mike tat in a bit but let's get right to benjamin hall. benjamin? we see president trump, and we are awaiting the arrival. in fact we have a convoy coming in at the moment, and he is on his way to buckingham palace. before that he's meeting prince charles next-door around the corner. significantly meeting prince charles for the bilateral rather than the queen. that's really taking on her mantle and is taking on her role but the day is only halfway done. he has a major meeting with other nato leaders alongside boris johnson. so what we see so far as a jam-packed today and it's only going to get busier over the next c

and i think you do see prince charles taking charge. i think you see him essentially acting as king, though he is not yet king. and i would be very surprised if he were not the dominant voice right now. >> andrea, in the midst of all of this, so many foreign policy decisions to be made, but decisions are not really likely to be made at this summit, given all of the stress among the allies. >> yes, i think the bar is incredibly low. if it's a quiet, quote unquote, boring summit, i think we'll all call it a victory. one of the important things to think about in the context of the nato summit is it's almost as if there are two natos. you have nato, the military alliance, and there the alliance is on quite solid footing. they've made a number of prudent steps in the wake of 2014 to address evolving challenges, most notably a more assertive russia. but then you have nato as a political alliance. there, given the disagreements, the fissures, it will be nearly impossible to make any sort of substantial decisions. the greatest risk is if the in

on a visit to germany, prince charles accepted one of his grandson's first teddy bears. my best regards. and from the new baby's uncle... obviously thrilled. absolutely thrilled. i'm looking forward to seeing them in the next few days, when things have quietened down. i'm very pleased and glad to welcome my brother to the sleep deprivation society that is parenting. there was just one thing missing — any pictures of the new baby, which had been born at a private london hospital. it would be another two days before the couple's global fan base — and curious royal watchers — would get a glimpse of archie harrison mountbatten windsor. congratulations. thank you. magic. it's pretty amazing. i mean, i have the two best guys in the world, so i'm really happy. it's great. parenting is amazing. it's only been, what, two—and—a—half days, three days. but we're just we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy. archie remained asleep throughout, unaware of his royal status and unique place as the first anglo—american mixed—race child at the heart of m

prince charles. charlotte gallagher reports. the brothers walked side by side into the charge for the 9am service. charlotte gallagher reports. prince philip arrives back at sandringham by helicopter after spending four nights in a central london hospital. he walked out unaided and without a stick. a huge relief for his family that he's home to spend christmas day with them. this hasn't been the smoothest year for the royals, something the queen appears to acknowledge in her christmas message, describing 2019 as "quite bumpy". later today, the royal family will attend church on the sandringham estate. the duke and duchess of sussex, meghan and harry, of course won't be here. but it's believed that prince george and princess charlotte will attend the service for the first time. we could also see prince andrew attend. there was speculation he might not go because of the scrutiny and criticism surrounding his relationship with the convicted sex offenderjeffrey epstein. whoever attends, the royal family

what are the hospital saying and what did prince charles say in a nswer to what did prince charles say in answer to the question? we have had no official update from the hospital since that statement on friday which said the duke of edinburgh was coming into treatment and observation for that pre—existing condition. they seem fairly relaxed and said this was a precautionary measure, and the duke came in under a court of his doctor. it is a small hospital in central london, has been treating the royal family for several years and members of the public were asking prince charles about his father‘s health on his visit to fishwick. how is your father? he's all right, once you get to that age, things don't work as well. so at some concern from members of the public asking prince charles, he said he is being taken good care of under good observation. i am sure they are hoping he will be out in time spent christmas with the family but no official update from the hospital or palace yet. thank you very much. a major search operation is under way in east sussex to look for a firefighter who

she who very much runs things, consulted with prince charles and others and told prince andrew, you need to step back. it doesn't necessarily mean he's out of public life forever. there is a point that potentially he could come back to public life, and they're saying a few months down the line, perhaps, we'll look at all this in a very different way. i think certainly british sentiment is very much against prince andrew currently, certainly media sentiment as well, all blowing up again tonight, another interview going out today with prince andrew's accuser suggesting that he is lying in a lot of his statements, and a lot of people around him are lying. he did carry out sexual acts against this woman and thinks she's terribly unfairly treated by all this. so it is blowing up again, but certainly within the family, they feel that the queen has handled this effectively, and prince charles has done just what he's always done. he supported her and he isn't overstepping the mark, as it were, and trying to take over her job. she's in this for life, i'm told. >> sure, but if he does have this id

i think prince charles, you know, he understood exactly what i was saying. you know, it's incredibly frustrating. three feet of water submerged the village for more than a week. thousands were affected across yorkshire and the midlands. this is where all the kitchen units were. people who now face a miserable christmas. we're not in a position that we're anywhere that we feel is home. and, to us, christmas should be at home. we've had to explain to everybody, you know, "we appreciate you sending christmas cards, but don't be expecting anything from us this year, i'm really sorry. " we just don't feel in the mood or in that position to celebrate. the prince met local politicians who've called for a regional version of cobra, the government emergency response committee. climate change is undoubtedly a factor. so we do need to look very carefully at what's happened here. and we need investment. we need to ensure that our flood defenses are fit for purpose, because i don't want to be here in five years or ten years having this same conversation. when a royal‘s

he'll have tea with prince charles. then the president moves on to a session in buckingham palace for important conversations in london. earlier today the president said something that not only set off the global turmoil but the financial markets. the dow has been down about 400 points the last couple hours. that's why the president, you see minus 389 there, the president said he thinks it might be best if the u.s. and china essentially set aside their trade negotiations until after next november, november 2020 and the presidential election. >> by the way, i'm doing very well in a deal with china if i want to make it. if i want to make it. it's not if they want to make it, it's if i want to make it. you'll find out very soon. in some ways i like the idea of waiting until after the election for the china deal. but they want to make a deal now and we'll see whether or not the deal is going to be right. it's got to be right. >> this one is fascinating because of the politics here at home in the sense that this is the issue

prince andrew arrived at an earlier service in sandringham with his brother prince charles. he recently stepped back from public duties. three members of a british family have drowned at a holiday resort on the costa del sol — spanish police are investigating. the dean of westminster abbey says britain is in need of the hope offered by the christmas story. hundreds of people in australia have been forced from their homes for the holidays, as the country battles some of its worst bushfires in years. now on bbc news, our media editor amol rajan sits down with the editor of private eye, ian hislop, to take a look back at 2019. hello. you are everywhere. thank you for having us in, thank you so much. how do you come up with a cover like those? this was when theresa may, do you remember her? she was around at the beginning of the year. she used to be prime minister. anyway, she left and we had to think — how can we pay tribute to theresa may? so i thought perhaps a blank page will be good, and so we have the theresa may memorial issue, her legacy in full. uh, thank you. which

one call can save you $2000 every year. >> harris: britain's prince charles of reportedly in a price summit with prince andrew as the bbc prime time interview with prince andrew's accuser, virginia good friday. british tabloid demeanor reported that charles wants an open and honest discussion about the alleged misconduct with his younger brother. she claims she was forced to have sacks with the british royal multiple times when she was just 17 years old. in a promo clip released last week she directly challenged andrew's denial of those allegations. >> the scariest time in my life. he knows what happened and i know what happened and there's only one of us telling the tru truth. this is a mess. >> kennedy: it's interesting because we seen various crises try to penetrate the royal family and every time people say, why do we have a royal family? the queen has says, he said that she in two years will essentially retire and that's why prince charles is taking over more of the lead role. if anyone knows how long it takes to rebound from a product crisis, it is prince charles. >> finally. w

earlier, during a visit to south yorkshire, prince charles was asked about his father by a member of the public. hello. sir, how is your father? he's all right, once you get to that age, things don't work as well. in that visit, prince charles met those affected by flooding last month in the village of fishlake in south yorkshire. our correspondent, dan johnson, has spent the day in the flood—hit village. he has had quite a warm reception in fishlake, today. you might think people have better things to be worrying about, facing christmas not even in their homes, most of them. hundreds of people in this area, notjust in this village, but they were pleased to see the prince, they were welcoming his visit and the attention it brings. the fact that someone is prepared to take the time to see what they are suffering. because the level of damage is really intense and we are now seven weeks on from when the flood hit this village and others along the river don and in north nottinghamshire and derbyshire, as well. fair to say lots of areas, thousands of people across those three counties,

the more senior members like prince charles and prince william will arrive later. one ecstasy them tomorrow on christmas morning as the always attend a church service on the sandringham estate. we do not know if prince philip will be there because he has just been discharged and he was knocked there last year. he retired from duty in 2017. we are expecting prince george and princess charlotte to attend the service for the first time with their parents, prince william and... many people will be very excited to see them here. they are expecting 6000 well—wishers to come down tomorrow morning and meet the royalfamily. despite a difficult and bumpy year, as said by the queen, there is still so as said by the queen, there is still so much interest in the royalfamily here in britain. they will be queueing up from early errors in the morning at sandringham in order to see the royals go to church. the queen will use her christmas day message to say that 2019 has been "quite bumpy". it comes after a year of intense political debate over brexit, as well as a number of pers

prince charles attended a private church service earlier. we could see princess charlotte and prince george attending the service for the first time and people have been queueing for hours to see the royal family. those will be one of the main draws for people coming down, a chance to see two of the youngest members of the royal family. this is such a tradition for some people. it is a tradition for some people. it is a tradition for some people. it is a tradition for the royal family to attend church on christmas day but actually, now, the circle we saw in the sky earlier they have made it into a smiley face. hopefully the cameraman can show you that. they have done a little emoji for the royal family. that was my next question, how do they do that?! no idea. that will be a welcome sight for the children if they come up. a lot of speculation about who will attend. and some peoplejust lot of speculation about who will attend. and some people just really wa nt to attend. and some people just really want to see the queen. some have not seen he

we heard a little bit from prince charles yesterday, he was visiting flood victims in the village of fishlake near flood victims in the village of fishla ke near doncaster and flood victims in the village of fishlake near doncaster and people asked how his father was, prince charles replied, well, he is 98, things don't work so well when you are that age. he talked about the treatment he was getting at the private hospital here, he said his father was being well looked after and that was all prince charles said he knew about it. thank you very much indeed. the queen will use her christmas day message to say that 2019 has been "quite bumpy". it comes after a year of intense political debate over brexit, as well as a number of personal events affecting the royal family. her majesty said: ‘the path of course is not always sooth and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference.‘ the duke and duchess of sussex have revealed their festive greeting via the queen's commonwealth trust twitter account. captured in black and white, the image s

it seems as though prince charles is actually taking the front seat for the uk today. they'll have a tea ahead of this reception, and i'm told by his people that president trump and prince charles are very different characters, very different agendas have actually got a good working relationship. they had tea last time. we'll see how it goes today. >> it sounds like the day is only going to get more interesting. thank you for all of your reporting for us from london. as we await the house intelligence committee's report on impeachment today, house republicans releasing a 123 page prebuttal that does not address any of the incriminating evidence against president trump. john avlon has our reality check. what does it say? >> it turns out that donald trump has been teasing his party's impeachment strategy for quite a while. >> what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> because we've gotten the first look at the gop impeachment defense, and it is essentially denial. the president did nothing wrong despite the clear fact pattern that emerged afte

and prince charles visits fishlake in south yorkshire,

he's going to be meeting with prince charles and kamila. as we are watching this, how do you think this trip is going here? i was saying a lot of the stuff we normally see behind closed doors is happening for all the world to see. i think no matter what you think of the president, that can be refreshing. >> yeah. the curtain has been torn and everyone can see exactly what president trump is doing. he's going to be tweeting about it, he's going to be answering shouted questions from reporters, he's even going to be negotiating trade deals with other countries while he's talking to the heads of state of european nations. i think that right now, there's a lot of movement because of what he has talked about with these trade deals but this is a win for president trump in london right now, to be able to talk about nato and talk about how they have increased funding by $130 billion since 2016. so that's a big takeaway from him. we have to see how the rest of the visit goes. neil: you know, a lot of times, you reminded me of this, someone said some

prince charles and prince andrew arrived for the earlier service and prince andrew is not there for the live am service. harry and meghan are not with the royals this year in sandringham for the norfolk christmas which is so familiar to the royal family. a crisp, bright, day in norfolk and there are lots of people waiting to see the queen on her way in and i'm assuming they are still there to see the royal family emerge now. you can see more members of the royal family coming down the steps behind the queen now as she prepares to get into her limousine to go back to sandringham for the christmas day feast. this is new territory for george and charlotte. you can see kate and william, let's see if they doa kate and william, let's see if they do a walkabout on their first christmas day service at saint mary magdalen, whether they are going to talk to the crowd at all. and i smile from prince charles. the duke of edinburgh is not accompanying the queen. hejust emerged of edinburgh is not accompanying the queen. he just emerged from hospital yesterday in london, butjust in time to be with th

philip and one with prince charles and camilla. this is talking about succession who are the most important for the continuing line. charlotte gallagher is in sandringham for us where the queen has been in residence since friday. there will be a lot of people there tomorrow looking out for who turns up tomorrow looking out for who turns up at the church. yes, there will be a lot of speculation about who will be going to the church tomorrow. we do think that prince andrew will be going despite speculation that he would not be going after all the news about his connection with the sex offender epstein. we do think you will be at the service tomorrow. we also think that prince george and princess charlotte will go to the service for the first time. there is obviously a lot of interest in that and ina obviously a lot of interest in that and in a lot well—wishers that will turn up yourall and in a lot well—wishers that will turn up your all be very interested in seeing the young royals. we saw a helicopter land in the last half an h

the queen and prince charles took their seats, with the crown placed next to the sovereign. the lords was packed with peers in their ermine robes, and once everyone was in place, black rod, the lords‘ most senior official, was despatched to the commons to summon mps. it's a short walk between the two chambers, and when black rod sarah clarke arrived at the commons, the door was slammed in herface, a show of the house's independence. in one of the most famous parliamentary scenes, she knocked three times, and once allowed in, delivered the message from the queen. mr speaker, the queen commands this honourable house to attend the peers immediately. but there was one thing missing, the cheeky heckle from the veteran labour mp dennis skinner, who lost his seat after nearly 50 years in the commons. then mps left their benches and filed off to the lords, leaving their chamber and crossing central lobby. many took the chance for a chat, butjeremy corbyn and borisjohnson appeared to make the walk in silence. and once they'd arrived at the lords, they gathered at the entrance known

prince charles was asked about his father‘s out by concerned members of the public. how is your father? he is all right, once you get that age, things don't work as well as they should. so as you can see, there is some concern for the duke of‘s health up and vitiate. no official word from the hospital as to when he will be discharged but i am sure his family will be hoping he will be home in time for christmas. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... calls for a government inquiry into racism in football, after a premier league match is stopped for the first time because of allegations of abuse from the stands. the former love island presenter caroline flack has pleaded not guilty to assaulting her boyfriend at herflat in london. five people are sentenced to death in saudi arabia for the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s olly. good afternoon. the governemnt say that the football authorities need to do more to tackle racism in football. police are looking to identify any individuals involved a

he went to church with prince charles in the morning but missed the main service. for prince andrew not to attend a church is significant. perhaps an acknowledgement of public opinion surrounding his friendship with the convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. the prince decided to stay at home with prince philip, who hasjust been discharged from hospital. the queen will use her christmas message to describe this year as bumpy. and for some in the royal family they will be keen to avoid the media scrutiny in 2020. as i was saying, some people queued from the early hours of this morning. one person even got here at one o'clock after getting four buses, a train and a lift. for those royal fans who love the royal family, sandringham is a great day. they get to meet the royals, chatted to them, their pictures taken. we saw one lady, who was 97, who always wanted to see the wqueen in person, and she got to do that and get a hug from princess charlotte. a real treat for her. i am sure for a lot of the people who came here, hundreds of people, it was a very exciting day. t

and prince charles and the duchess with him. no sign prince andrew, who has withdrawn from his public role for now. but he was present last time. a notable absentee this evening. he had a very important role last time donald trump was in the uk for the state visit back in june. trump was in the uk for the state visit back injune. then he was front and centre come at a number of engagements with the president, including hosting a business brea kfast including hosting a business breakfast with them, one morning. if things had been different, every hadn't taken a step back from his royal duties because of all of those rumours swirling around thejeffrey epstein scandal, i think because of his military background and his previous role as a global trade in boy, we would have seen prince andrew be very involved. that's a global trade envoy. thank you. this meeting of leaders of the nato countries comes amid growing tensions in the alliance. france is unhappy about what it sees as the lack of leadership from the us, while turkey is bloc

i think prince charles, he understood, it is incredibly frustrating. three feet of water submerge the village for more than a week. thousands were affected across yorkshire in the midlands. this is where all the kitchen units were stopped by people now face a miserable christmas. we are not in a position where we feel his home and towards christmas, we should feel at home, fed to explain to everybody that we appreciate you sending christmas cards but do not expect anything from us this year, i am really sorry. i am... their cost for a government emergency response committee. we do need to look at what has happened here and we need investment, we need to ensure that our flood defences are fit for purpose because i do not want to be here in five years or ten years having the same composition. questions of family are never far away when a rail is in town stop people are still facing a very difficult future. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. saudi arabia sentences five to death for the murder of jamal khashoggi — in a trial that's been called a tra

the new york times suggests that prince charles has moved to control any damage done to the royal family by prince andrew's relationship with the disgraced american financier, jeffrey epstein. the queen, it says, is fading into history. the times reports that the financial conduct authority found record levels of debt when it investigated the credit schemes of some of britain's biggest stores. some charge up to 30% interest, and a third of shoppers taking on such deals fail to repay on time, leaving them with fees and interest charges. also, the times' business pages reveal that people who invested in collapsed peer—to—peer lender lendy have been told they will get back a lot less than they believe they are owed. a significant proportion of the £150 million they are owed has been earmarked to pay off insolvency practitioners and creditors. and the business standard in mumbai looks at the expansion of uber in india, but not entirely in the car market. the chief of uber in the country says people outside of the cities will be catered for with two and three—wheeler bikes or buses. is

are there, prince charles and carmella, her father is there harry and megan are not, but it's not surprising that prince andrew is not included on the piano top there. i think it might raise a few eyebrows that harry and megan are not spending christmas with the queen and we are led to believe that they're a bit of a snob. they could be just around the corner, just outside of the frame. it is funny that you said that. cynics that we are, and what you pay for. just expressing that it looks like a deliberate snob. whether she intends that or not, it might be. like a deliberate snob. whether she intends that or not, it might hem might bea intends that or not, it might hem might be a wider shot with more pictures, we are looking at last yea rs pictures, we are looking at last years and the tight shot only had three photos on the desk and again it was a variety of photos. but in ten or 11 photos, when you see
