Five, four, three, two. This is bbc one. One, zero. This is bbc news at 100. For a century, we have been bringing you the biggest news stories from here and Around The World as ourjournalists witness some of the most historic moments. From richard dimbleby, the bbc� s first war reporter, who broadcast from raf fighter planes during world war two. The bombers of the main force are now streaming in above and below us. As we drive steadily over cologne in a dead level straight line, the german flank is winking and flashing. To kate adie, on the scene as chinese troops fired on protesters in tiananmen square. After hours of shooting and facing a line of troops, the crowd is still here. Theyre shouting, stop the killing and, down with the government and who can forget michael buerk� s reports from africa as he revealed the full scale of the famine in ethiopia . Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the Piercing Chill of night on the plain outside korem, it lights up a biblicalfamine. His reports were a watershed moment that led to this. Feed the world. Bob geldof� s live aid concerts raised tens of millions in the wake of the bbc� s journalism. And when covid swept the globe and lockdowns took hold, our correspondents were on the front line, as always. The staff here are dealing with the biggest challenge everfaced by the nhs. They can save many of the patients, but sadly not all of them. Hello, and welcome to bbc news as we mark our 100th birthday, and what a century it has been. Technology has revolutionised the way we bring the news to you, but at the heart of it all, ourjob remains the same. And that is to bring you the news that matters, when it happens. So lets go back to the very beginning, when bbc news was born and radio ruled the airwaves. 2l0 Marconi House london calling. Lcq. This is london calling. When the bbc started in 1922, the news was broadcast through only one medium the wireless. London calling. Here is the news. Then, Radio Bulletins were read by men. Well, since then, the voices and faces of newsreaders have changed. During the second world war, the bbc played a pivotal role in reporting the news, both good and bad. Richard dimbleby was a familiar and trusted voice for millions of people. Heres his radio report from 1945 after entering the Belsen Concentration Camp with British Forces. Just imagine what it was like hearing this at home. I passed through the barrier and found myself in the world of a nightmare. Dead bodies, some of them in decay, lay strewn about the road and along the rutted tracks. Inside the huts, it was even worse. Ive seen many terrible sights in the last five years, but nothing, nothing approaching the dreadful interior of this hut at belsen. Today is victory in europe day. Richard dimbleby was also the voice of the nation as the war ended. Mr churchill was coming out again. Now listen the band is playing Land Of Hope And Glory and the crowd is singing. And this suddenly has become a very moving moment. Will you listen, please . Crowd sings here is the news. In the 1950s, we saw the first regular Television News bulletins. After Manchester Uniteds air crash at munich this afternoon. And amid snow flurries, when this ba elizabethan, which had been chartered by Manchester United. These blurry Black And White pictures following the 1958 Munich Air Disaster in which eight Manchester United players were among 23 who died showed just how quickly Moving Pictures could be broadcast. Stories from abroad also arrive here from the bbc� s camera ciews overseas. We are trusted Around The World. Standing on top of the berlin wall, which for years has been the most potent symbol of the division of europe. Mr mandela, james robbins, bbc news from london. Can you describe your emotions as you came out of the prison . | i was completely overwhelmed. Not always welcome. Thank you very much, mr president. Where are you from . Bbc. Heres another beauty. But there at critical moments. After hours of trying to make their way in, theyve finally done it. Protesters have pushed their way through the gates of the Prime Ministers Office and are now everywhere. Ive worked for the bbc for over half the time its existed and ive spent almost all my career covering international news. This is kyiv in ukraine. Thejob can be pretty dangerous. Far too many friends and colleagues have been killed or injured in the course of their work. But we perform a crucial role, giving an impartial account of whats going on and why it matters to you at home. In 2003, a convoy i was travelling with in Northern Iraq was bombed by mistake by an american warplane. 18 people, including our translator, were killed. You may find this, and some of the other reports, upsetting. We reached a crossroads. Then, out of the blue, the american plane attacked. Shouting. The guy right beside me. You all right . The ammunition and rockets in the wrecked cars began exploding. The bomb had landed only ten yards away from us. I even saw it fall. For decades, weve had teams on the ground reporting conflict. The vietnam war. This is a very humiliating day for the south vietnamese army, and were hoping that this is the very last battle outside saigon. Battles between india and pakistan. We havent been here for more than seven or eight minutes at this airfield and in that time, there have been three strikes. This is the third one coming over now. Theres the big guns. Just gone over here. With British Forces in the south atlantic. Argentina has invaded the falklands. Im not allowed to say how many planesjoined the raid, but i counted them all out and i counted them all back. America under attack. Steve, i understand that you were in the World Trade Center when it was struck. I was on the Groundl Floor of the building. There was a huge bang in the yard i which separates the two huge towers which are the World Trade Center. Seconds later, there were two. Or three similar huge explosions and the building literally shook. And a tragedy abroad which moved many at home. An Early Morning car crash in a Paris Underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. In 2022, in europe. Were live in ukraine as russia invades in a Major Military assault by land, sea and air. Civilians are supposed to be protected by the laws of war. Russian shells were very close. Bombs explode. Stopping was not an option. Im 0k, she said. Keep going. A fair amount of incoming fire coming into this now. Artillery fire. There are loads of civilians around. Counting the cost of human conflict. So the women and children are being pulled from the crowd on the stairs now so that they can board the train. The police again are outnumbered, but they are doing their best. Ive seen them go down there into the crowds and try and calm people. But its very, very difficult given the volatility of the situation. And the impact on the most vulnerable. Five year old malik is slowly getting used to walking. She lost her left leg when her home in syria was bombed last year. How difficult is it for you as a mum in this situation . Translation it is difficult. 0ur place and our caravan, i they are not fit for living in. The dispossessed of eastern congo. The scene here now is absolutely chaotic. Children are being trampled in the rush as people push their way through the gates. We saw youngsters in distress and helped drag them to safety. Another terrifying moment for children already traumatised by conflict. Two rows of Concrete Blocks are now home for 38 families. Crude metal roofs dont keep winter snows out, and they dont keep anyone warm. The children, the children are everywhere. And you see them there, their hands are freezing and their teeth are just. Are chattering. Theyre so cold. We all live in an age of nonstop news with information literally at your fingertips. And we have news teams right across the uk chasing stories, checking facts, reporting accurately and fairly. And i have a vague memory of being about five or six years old and seeing Television Reports of a real disaster that had happened in a village not farfrom where i lived. Its now feared that nearly 200 lives were lost when the coal tip at aberfan near Merthyr Tydfil slid forward today. It engulfed an Infant School and a row of houses. And still it goes on the never ending search for the bodies of the men, women and children who are buried down here beneath the slurry and sludge. And it attracted rescuers from well, all over wales, in fact from england as well theyre streaming across the Severn Bridge from bristol, offering their services. And bill, if i can ask you to come in for a moment, i know youve just this moment come up from what looked like dantes inferno down there. What, in fact, is it like . I think its absolute hell, because men are working knee deep in liquid slurry, trying to dig out the kids from the school. Where did you first hear about the tragedy . I heard bbc news. In Northern Ireland, we covered the worst days of the troubles. This is the reality of belfast today. Bombs in the city centre. So much disruption, so many explosions. From time to time, you forget that its become part of everyday life. And its hopes for a brighterfuture. An historic agreement for peace in Northern Ireland has been reached within the past few minutes. We can see pictures now from stormont, where the leaders of the eight parties which have been involved in the talks, together with the Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and the republic of ireland, are announcing details of an agreement which is intended to end nearly 30 years of conflict and which have cost more than 3,000 lives. Agreement. The impossible was done late this afternoon, but done it was, to the delight of the Prime Ministers, their sad remembrance of the injured and the dead, their realistic hopes for the childrens future. The Prime Minister announces the toughest restrictions on our way of life in living memory. From tonight, you can only leave your home for very specific reasons. We kept audiences up to date as the virus spread. Coughing can project small droplets up to six metres. The anguish of thousands who lost loved ones. Families separated by the pandemic. No, you cant touch my hand. This is the first Timejulie Bennett has seen her father in four weeks. Heartbreaking. Those supporting the work of the nhs. Thank you, captain tom, from the nhs. Those working for it. Somebody have to be a doctor. Someone have to be a nurse and somebody have to be a domestic. So im proud of what im doing. Because all together youre helping to save lives. All of us come together and then we save more lives. And the first signs of hope. Margaret, aged 90, was the very first patient to receive the newly approved coronavirus vaccine. Applause. And what do you say to those who might be having second thoughts about having this vaccine . Its the best thing thats ever happened. Bbc news has brought the nation together for the major royal occasions. Lots of shouts from the crowd here. The weddings. And thats the reward. Thejubilees. And the royal visits. Today, a unique moment with a very special royal guest. It is a great pleasure to visit the bbc today. I rememberfirst coming to Broadcasting House with my father the king and my mother and sister shortly before the war. I came again with the duke of edinburghjust before the coronation in 1953. I was struck then, as i am now, by the sheer pace of change which has transformed your industry over the past 60 years. Years during which broadcasting has enriched our lives in so many ways. And the saddest of times. This is bbc news from london. A few moments ago, Buckingham Palace announced the death of her majesty Queen Elizabeth ii. Good morning. Welcome to bbc breakfast. Were at Westminster Abbey on an historic day. 0n the coffin, a card handwritten by the king. In loving and devoted memory, charles r. Big ben chimes. From lloyd george to liz truss, the bbc� s political reporters have stood here trying to record everything that happened behind that famous door.

No one knows what will happen next. 11. 50am this morning, Downing Street security gates have swung open, the motorcade swept in, heralding another new arrival here. Here he comes, rishi sunak, walking up Downing Street alone to the podium to address the country for the first time as Prime Minister. I have just been to Buckingham Palace | and accepted his majesty the kingsj invitation to form a new government in his name. News bulletins on tv and radio are always done live.
