0:00:04 > 0:00:06One of the worst terror attacks in Egypt in living memory,

0:00:06 > 0:00:11as gunmen kill 235 people in a mosque.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13SIRENS.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16They burst in, shooting at men and boys just as Friday prayers

0:00:16 > 0:00:20were ending in a remote town in north Sinai.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24Egypt's President says he will respond with an iron fist.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Also tonight:

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Celebrations in Zimbabwe as the new President,

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Emmerson Mnangagwa, is sworn in.

0:00:32 > 0:00:38He vows to rebuild the shattered economy and tackle corruption.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41We must work together.

0:00:41 > 0:00:48You, me, all of us who make up this nation.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Theresa May is given a deadline by the EU -

0:00:51 > 0:00:53no trade talks next month unless progress is made

0:00:53 > 0:00:57on all Brexit issues in the next ten days.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Black Friday bargain hunters.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01£2.5 billion - that's how much shoppers are thought

0:01:01 > 0:01:04to have spent today.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06And England and Australia are neck and neck as they go

0:01:06 > 0:01:11into the third day of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, England's women make it two from two

0:01:15 > 0:01:20in World Cup qualifying with a 4-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Good evening.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Egypt's President has vowed to respond with brutal force

0:01:44 > 0:01:47after one of the deadliest attacks in modern Egyptian history.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50At least 235 people have been killed and more

0:01:50 > 0:01:53than 100 injured, many critically, after gunmen

0:01:53 > 0:01:56detonated a bomb and then stormed a packed mosque at the end

0:01:56 > 0:01:58of Friday prayers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02It happened in a remote town in Egypt's north Sinai region.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05The mosque was popular with Sufi worshippers.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08They follow a mystical form of Islam which extremists regard as heresy.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Just to warn you, there are some distressing images

0:02:11 > 0:02:14in Orla Guerin's report.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18SIRENS.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21A rush to save the wounded when a place of worship

0:02:21 > 0:02:24became a place of carnage.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27The attackers struck during Friday prayers.

0:02:27 > 0:02:33For Egypt, this was a grim new first - a massacre in a mosque.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Inside, worshippers lay dead where minutes earlier they had prayed.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41The mosque was popular with Sufi Muslims, who revere saints

0:02:41 > 0:02:47and shrines and are viewed as heretics by Islamic extremists.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Within hours, a televised address to a nation in shock.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi telling Egyptians their anguish

0:02:56 > 0:02:59would not be in vain and there would be

0:02:59 > 0:03:03decisive punishment.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06The sophisticated assault on the mosque was the latest attack

0:03:06 > 0:03:09by militants based in Sinai.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12The state has been battling them for years.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16As Egypt counted its new dead, analysts here warned that

0:03:16 > 0:03:19President Sisi has already tried a hardline military

0:03:19 > 0:03:23response to no avail.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25The scorched earth approach that we have seen has failed

0:03:25 > 0:03:28to prevent this from happening, it has failed to prevent Isis

0:03:28 > 0:03:31from continuing to operate in Egypt and in Sinai specifically.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35And it is a reasonable question to ask - to what extent does this

0:03:35 > 0:03:38scorched earth approach actually help Isis perhaps recruit

0:03:38 > 0:03:42further followers?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The most deadly previous attack by IS here was the downing of this

0:03:45 > 0:03:51Russian aircraft in Sinai in 2015, with a loss of 224 lives.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56In the past year, IS have killed scores of Christians in three

0:03:56 > 0:03:59attacks on churches, saying followers of the cross

0:03:59 > 0:04:02were their favourite prey.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06This time, militants in Sinai have targeted their fellow

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Muslims, showing no mercy.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12There has been no claim of responsibility.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16We don't yet know if IS was behind this, but it bears

0:04:16 > 0:04:20many of their hallmarks.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24Outside local hospitals tonight, crowds waited to donate blood.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27After a day of horror, many Egyptians now fearful

0:04:27 > 0:04:30about what might come next.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36Orla joins us from Cairo now.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Orla, this is a remote town in a remote part of Egypt.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41These were Muslims at prayer in a mosque.

0:04:41 > 0:04:49Why would they be the target of such a brutal attack?

0:04:49 > 0:04:54Well, certainly in the past, IS for example is highlighted Sufi as

0:04:54 > 0:05:04heretics, and the hardliners object to the Sufi form of Islam, which

0:05:04 > 0:05:09involves reverends for the Saints, and IS had kidnapped and beheaded an

0:05:09 > 0:05:15elderly Sufi but today has been a day of terrible firsts, reported to

0:05:15 > 0:05:19be the first attack on a mosque, the first major assault on Sufi Muslims,

0:05:19 > 0:05:27and the first death toll on this scale among Egyptian civilians. This

0:05:27 > 0:05:31was a sophisticated, coordinated attack, not only a bomb but,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34according to eyewitnesses, as many as 40 gun men were in position,

0:05:34 > 0:05:39ringing that mosque, waiting for the chance to pick off any survivors who

0:05:39 > 0:05:43made it through the door alive. It's an attack that has been condemned

0:05:43 > 0:05:48internationally. It is a major challenge to the Egyptian state, a

0:05:48 > 0:05:53major provocation and, if was IS, it's always worth considering the

0:05:53 > 0:06:01broader regional dimension. In the last few months, we have seen IS

0:06:01 > 0:06:05with massive territorial losses in Iraq and Syria, being driven out of

0:06:05 > 0:06:10their strongholds in Mosul and Iraq, and losing a lot of territory. If IS

0:06:10 > 0:06:13was behind this, this could be an attempt to remind their supporters

0:06:13 > 0:06:18around the world, we are still here, we are still relevant and we can

0:06:18 > 0:06:23still inflict terrible damage on our enemies. What we don't know tonight

0:06:23 > 0:06:26is if the Egyptian security establishment, if Preston CC as

0:06:26 > 0:06:30anything else in his Arsenal that you can try. -- if President

0:06:30 > 0:06:34al-Sisi. He has already tried a military approach. A massive

0:06:34 > 0:06:40military operation has gone on in the Sinai peninsula for many years

0:06:40 > 0:06:43and it hasn't delivered the results the establishment has promised. I

0:06:43 > 0:06:47don't doubt we will see the Army claiming to have rounded up scores

0:06:47 > 0:06:51of suspects and perhaps killed scores of suspects, but it is

0:06:51 > 0:06:58unclear if they have something new they can try to attempt to curb this

0:06:58 > 0:07:00stubborn Islamic insurgency, which today has inflicted such terrible

0:07:00 > 0:07:01damage.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as the new President of Zimbabwe.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07He used his inauguration speech to call for national reconciliation

0:07:07 > 0:07:11and to promise elections would be held next year, as planned.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15He also paid tribute to his predecessor, Robert Mugabe,

0:07:15 > 0:07:17who was forced to step down by a military intervention,

0:07:17 > 0:07:19after 37 years in power.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Mr Mnangagwa, who's known as "the Crocodile"

0:07:22 > 0:07:24because of his ruthlessness, was a close aide of

0:07:24 > 0:07:25the former President.

0:07:25 > 0:07:35Here's our Africa Editor, Fergal Keane.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40If there had been a roof, they would have raised it. 60,000 voices. And

0:07:40 > 0:07:50rhythm. And sure feet. Unleashing the pent-up emotion not of days but

0:07:50 > 0:07:56of decades. All the past tortuous week felt as if it had been building

0:07:56 > 0:08:04to this moment. For the one scalp people. -- for the once proud

0:08:04 > 0:08:08people. The military triggered the events that brought the Mugabe era

0:08:08 > 0:08:12to an end, and the traditional chiefs had fully expected to see him

0:08:12 > 0:08:20die in power. Instead, a man who, a week ago, was hiding inexorable,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23fearing for his life, arrived to claim the presidency. -- hiding in

0:08:23 > 0:08:30exile.

0:08:37 > 0:08:42You can hear the 21 gun salute. Emmerson Mnangagwa, right behind me,

0:08:42 > 0:08:45is the new president of Zimbabwe, and what an extraordinary moment it

0:08:45 > 0:08:50is. He has the backing of the international community now. The

0:08:50 > 0:08:52backing of his army, and the goodwill of his own people. These

0:08:52 > 0:09:00are gifts he will squander at his peril. The new president was once a

0:09:00 > 0:09:05loyal comrades of Robert Mugabe. And, in power, he had to mastermind

0:09:05 > 0:09:10the often violent takeover of white farms. And the brutalisation of

0:09:10 > 0:09:16opposition politicians in rigged elections. He spoke of opening the

0:09:16 > 0:09:19country to foreign investment, creating jobs, compensating white

0:09:19 > 0:09:24farmers who had lost their land, and of a break with the painful past.

0:09:24 > 0:09:30Why we cannot change the past, there is a lot we can do in the present

0:09:30 > 0:09:39and the future. To give our nation a different, positive direction. As we

0:09:39 > 0:09:48do so, we should never remain hostages of our past. I thus humbly

0:09:48 > 0:10:00appeal to all of us that we let bygones be bygones. Let us embrace

0:10:00 > 0:10:07each other in defining a new destiny for Zimbabwe.To test the mood of

0:10:07 > 0:10:09the nation today, we spoke with Zimbabweans from different walks of

0:10:09 > 0:10:17life. This man is a pensioner who travelled to the inauguration.It

0:10:17 > 0:10:21was excellent. He promised jobs, jobs, jobs, and also peace in the

0:10:21 > 0:10:27country. Peace is the fundamental thing for any country to develop.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32This is a farmer who lost his land, but now helps to train young black

0:10:32 > 0:10:35farmers.He has been involved in breaking the law and we are

0:10:35 > 0:10:39concerned that he will not come back to the rule of law. What we need in

0:10:39 > 0:10:43this country is the rule of law, and only time will tell if he believes

0:10:43 > 0:10:50in that or not.This is a political activist, one of a young generation

0:10:50 > 0:10:54of Africans ready to challenge their government.I have been followed by

0:10:54 > 0:10:58the intelligence services and even found one in my house but, now that

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Robert Mugabe is gone and we are free, I can express myself as an

0:11:02 > 0:11:06activist as much as possible.If you were looking fine indication of a

0:11:06 > 0:11:09change of mood in the country, listen to the moment the crowd booed

0:11:09 > 0:11:15the chief of police. This is interesting, the crowd booing the

0:11:15 > 0:11:20chief of the police. Remember, for them, the police were a force of

0:11:20 > 0:11:25oppression. The people who took bribes, who intimidated them. The

0:11:25 > 0:11:32generals who backed Mr Mnangagwa were listening. What do they do now,

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I asked their leader? The job was done, they were going back to

0:11:35 > 0:11:42barracks, said the general. Scepticism is justified, but the

0:11:42 > 0:11:47people are tired of the old way. They cheered for freedom. Today, at

0:11:47 > 0:11:50least, was no one party party.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Our Africa Editor, Fergal Keane, joins us from Harare.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55A big moment not just for Zimbabwe, but for Africa too.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58How much change can we expect, given Mnangagwa was his right

0:11:58 > 0:12:05hand man for so long?

0:12:05 > 0:12:12He was. Here is a man who was steeped in authoritarian politics,

0:12:12 > 0:12:16he has been implicated in corruption and serious brutality, but think

0:12:16 > 0:12:22about the promises he made today. He spoke repeatedly in the last few

0:12:22 > 0:12:25days of jobs, and today he opened out to be black and white farmers

0:12:25 > 0:12:30and would be compensated for the loss of their land. Cars he opened

0:12:30 > 0:12:35out to people like white farmers. He realises that the international

0:12:35 > 0:12:39community is listening. If he's going to deliver on the promise of

0:12:39 > 0:12:43jobs, he's going to need foreign investment and bilateral aid, and he

0:12:43 > 0:12:49isn't going to get that if they go to the politics of rigged elections.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54Watch what happens next year with elections. I expect the key demand

0:12:54 > 0:12:57of the opposition and international community will be for credible

0:12:57 > 0:13:01international monitoring, something that fell away in recent elections

0:13:01 > 0:13:05in Zimbabwe, and that will be important. Also bear in mind the

0:13:05 > 0:13:09extraordinary moment in that stadium today, it was electrifying to be

0:13:09 > 0:13:12there and get people going it chief of police, a man who lived in

0:13:12 > 0:13:19terror. That will not have been unnoticed, certainly by the generals

0:13:19 > 0:13:21around Mr Mnangagwa, but also elsewhere in Africa, because one

0:13:21 > 0:13:27activist spoke to be recently and said there was a democratic

0:13:27 > 0:13:28recession at the moment, authoritarian government is pushing

0:13:28 > 0:13:34back against the democracy of the last ten to 15 years. The people in

0:13:34 > 0:13:38the stadium today are part of a generation which is now energised

0:13:38 > 0:13:44and which isn't going to accept the old way.Fergal Keane, thank you.

0:13:44 > 0:13:4716 people were injured and nine had to be taken to hospital

0:13:47 > 0:13:49after a mass panic in the heart of London this afternoon.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Oxford Circus and Bond Street Tube stations were evacuated as armed

0:13:52 > 0:13:54police responded to reports that shots had been fired.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Thousands of people fled on what was one of the busiest

0:13:57 > 0:13:59shopping days of the year, as police told them to shelter

0:13:59 > 0:14:01in shops and buildings while they investigated.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04An hour and a half later, the Tube stations were reopened

0:14:04 > 0:14:10after police said they'd found no evidence of any sort of attack.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Police have said in the last few minutes that the evacuation was

0:14:14 > 0:14:18caused by an altercation between two men on the station platform at

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Oxford Circus.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Major companies have suspended their advertising

0:14:22 > 0:14:25on YouTube after it emerged that people have been leaving sexually

0:14:25 > 0:14:27explicit comments next to videos posted by children,

0:14:27 > 0:14:28comments that hadn't been removed by YouTube.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Adverts for major brands like Mars and Cadbury have been appearing

0:14:31 > 0:14:32alongside some of the videos.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35YouTube says since this came to light it has taken action

0:14:35 > 0:14:36to remove the comments.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Amol Rajan, reports.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42YouTube has reinvented the very idea of broadcasting,

0:14:42 > 0:14:44allowing anyone with access to the internet to create their own

0:14:44 > 0:14:47channel and build a following.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50The site now has a billion users and pulls in around £4 billion in ad

0:14:50 > 0:14:53revenues every year.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Users have to be 13 before they can upload and share videos,

0:14:56 > 0:14:58but millions of teenagers use the opportunity to share their inner

0:14:58 > 0:15:02thoughts with the world, and just to have fun.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04That is why and where sexual predators often stalk them online.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08These comments found by the BBC are a fraction of the total material

0:15:08 > 0:15:10on YouTube but they do show how digital platforms have emboldened

0:15:10 > 0:15:16some would-be offenders.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Technology, social media, it's a new frontier.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19What it does bring is anonymity.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22So what maybe you wouldn't do, or you might not be bold enough

0:15:22 > 0:15:24to do because it's attached to your name, your face,

0:15:24 > 0:15:26your character, there's a lot to lose, potentially,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29you might be more keen or willing to do it if you think

0:15:29 > 0:15:39you'll never be caught.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41New research by BBC Trending, the BBC social media

0:15:41 > 0:15:43investigations unit, has discovered that for close

0:15:43 > 0:15:45to a year something went wrong with the system

0:15:45 > 0:15:47for removing obscene comments.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I am really, really concerned that the public

0:15:49 > 0:15:52function of reporting isn't seemingly working.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56It's something I will be writing to YouTube about straightaway

0:15:56 > 0:16:00and I will want them to take immediate action.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Exciting work with billion-dollar brands...

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Several leading brands have now said they will suspend

0:16:05 > 0:16:08their advertising on the platform until it is further cleaned up.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Brands such as Mars, Adidas and Lidl.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17In a statement, YouTube's owners, Google, said: A power broker

0:16:30 > 0:16:32A power broker in Britain's advertising industry applauded

0:16:32 > 0:16:33the tech giant's efforts

0:16:33 > 0:16:35to address the issue but said they should do more.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I think we have to be incredibly diligent.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Whether they would call themselves a platform or a publisher,

0:16:40 > 0:16:42they are responsible to advertisers I think to make sure

0:16:42 > 0:16:46that the environments that they take advertising in and make money

0:16:46 > 0:16:49from are free of these dangers.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Some campaigners, and indeed politicians, say that YouTube

0:16:52 > 0:16:54should be regulated just like any other broadcaster.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57But the very principle of the open web is that users and not companies

0:16:57 > 0:16:58should shape our public domain.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02And the sheer volume of content on YouTube,

0:17:02 > 0:17:06400 hours of video uploaded every single minute, means that ultimately

0:17:06 > 0:17:08this is an issue that would be managed not by human beings,

0:17:08 > 0:17:12but by machines.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Digital giants like Google are adamant that social problems

0:17:14 > 0:17:15in the internet age have technological rather

0:17:15 > 0:17:19than regulatory solutions.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21But the prevalence of sexual predators online is an issue that

0:17:21 > 0:17:24will never be fully eradicated, because the anarchic freedom

0:17:24 > 0:17:27of the internet will always afford them a home somewhere in cyberspace.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31To fight them is to enter a war without end.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36Amol Rajan, BBC News.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41The Olympic and Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has had his jail

0:17:41 > 0:17:43term more than doubled to 15 years.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45A judge in South Africa ruled his original sentence,

0:17:45 > 0:17:47for shooting dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp,

0:17:47 > 0:17:52had been too lenient.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55A teenager who killed seven-year-old Katie Rough has been detained

0:17:55 > 0:17:57for life and ordered to serve a minimum of five years.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00The girl, who's 16 and cannot be named for legal reasons,

0:18:00 > 0:18:06pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility in July.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Police in Somerset say a man has been arrested on suspicion

0:18:09 > 0:18:11of attempted murder, after a 96-year-old D-Day veteran

0:18:11 > 0:18:13was attacked with a hammer on his own doorstep.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Jim Booth was left with serious injuries after the assault

0:18:16 > 0:18:22at his home in Taunton.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25The president of the EU Council, Donald Tusk, has given Theresa May

0:18:25 > 0:18:27a deadline of ten days to make progress on the Brexit negotiations

0:18:27 > 0:18:31if she wants to start discussing trade next month.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Mr Tusk said movement was needed on all issues,

0:18:33 > 0:18:35including the Irish border.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Mrs May insisted the talks in Brussels had been held

0:18:38 > 0:18:42in a "positive atmosphere".

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, reports.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50An amicable divorce from a room full of partners, but it's getting tense.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53So now Theresa May is hinting to EU leaders, starting with Donald Tusk

0:18:53 > 0:18:56in the summit chair, Britain might up, and some say

0:18:56 > 0:19:01double, its offer of £20 billion in a separation deal -

0:19:01 > 0:19:03dig deeper into the nation's purse, if only the EU

0:19:03 > 0:19:06is ready to talk trade.

0:19:06 > 0:19:12Or this long goodbye could end in tears, the last thing she wanted.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14These negotiations are continuing but what I'm clear about is

0:19:14 > 0:19:15that we must step forward together.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18This is for both the UK and the European Union to move

0:19:18 > 0:19:22onto the next stage.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Brexit negotiations could, maybe will, turn to trade next month.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29But leaders here need more persuasion.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Mr Juncker, are you worried about Brexit?

0:19:31 > 0:19:37Brexit is a tragedy.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I will meet the British Prime Minister on the 4th of December

0:19:40 > 0:19:43and then we will see if there has been sufficient progress.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Are you at all confident progress will be made?

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Yes.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51But every country must agree to start talking trade,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54and Ireland's minority government is facing the risk of collapse

0:19:54 > 0:19:56at home, but was sounding tough here, suggesting Brexit talks

0:19:56 > 0:20:00could stall without clear guarantees there will be no hard

0:20:00 > 0:20:04North-South customs border.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Is Ireland prepared to block progress?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08I don't think Ireland will have to block anything on its own.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12There is absolute solidarity across 27 countries here.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Germany's not much more supportive.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Angela Merkel was already firm on Brexit.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Now she has her hands full forming a new government.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24She met Mrs May today, another leader looking for more give

0:20:24 > 0:20:25on the British side.

0:20:25 > 0:20:30In her one-on-one talks with the EU Council President,

0:20:30 > 0:20:34no final proposals, no breakthrough, and they may not settle hard

0:20:34 > 0:20:36numbers on the divorce bill for months to come,

0:20:36 > 0:20:38but they explored the case for more compromise.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Moments after that meeting, Donald Tusk was on Twitter calling

0:20:42 > 0:20:44progress a huge challenge.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Mrs May's verdict, both sides must find a way.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58There are still issues across the various matters

0:20:58 > 0:21:01that we are negotiating on to be resolved, but there's been a very

0:21:01 > 0:21:03positive atmosphere in the talks and a genuine feeling

0:21:03 > 0:21:06that we want to move forward together.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Neither side wants the Brexit talks to end in stalemate

0:21:09 > 0:21:11but without more give-and-take, it could happen.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14And then the risk would grow of negotiations ending with no

0:21:14 > 0:21:18EU trade deal at all, and that's the outcome that business

0:21:18 > 0:21:21leaders who are worried about Brexit say they fear most.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25So, more talking to do ahead of the next big summit next month.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28The slow march of Brexit goes on, its course and destination

0:21:28 > 0:21:31being decided one step at a time.

0:21:31 > 0:21:38John Pienaar, BBC News, Brussels.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's Black Friday again, but this year most of the bargain-grabbing

0:21:40 > 0:21:42seems to have gone online.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45By the end of today, it's thought that British shoppers

0:21:45 > 0:21:49will have spent more than £2.5 billion in one day alone.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53That's about £937,000 a minute online.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57But not all retailers like it.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02Emma Simpson's at Amazon's warehouse in Tilbury in Essex.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Everywhere you look today, a blizzard of deals,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08from the high street right to your inbox.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13Black Friday in full swing.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's first light and we've come out to see who's shopping.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Forget the stores - we're on the train,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20because it's all about this.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21I've been shopping online this morning.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22Already?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah, I managed to get a discount for my son

0:22:24 > 0:22:26for a monitor for Christmas.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27I bought a Dyson this morning.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29It just seems to be getting bigger each year.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I don't know, it's mental.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I've actually been thinking about it for the past week,

0:22:33 > 0:22:38waiting for today, and the first opportunity I've got, I logged on.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Those orders are already on their way here at Amazon,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42with robots moving thousands of items from the shelves

0:22:42 > 0:22:47to the pickers.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49They've been doing deals all week.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54So too have many others - anything to get shoppers to spend.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Personal finances are under pressure and consumer confidence

0:22:56 > 0:22:58is beginning to falter a bit, but this is a really

0:22:58 > 0:23:01important time of the year, where Black Friday's the starting

0:23:01 > 0:23:03gun for Christmas, and retailers will be hoping that this spurs

0:23:03 > 0:23:06consumers on to spend.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08That's what they are banking on at this small electronics

0:23:08 > 0:23:10business in Cambridge.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12They bought half a million pounds' worth of stock to sell -

0:23:12 > 0:23:17exciting but nerve-racking, too.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19If we don't operate in Black Friday, they're just going to

0:23:19 > 0:23:20buy off somebody else.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's not an option for us.

0:23:22 > 0:23:23We have to sell on Black Friday.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25It is very nerve-racking.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27The more that people are reliant on Black Friday,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30the more people consumers wait until making their purchase on that

0:23:30 > 0:23:33day, the more you sit there in the weeks leading up

0:23:33 > 0:23:37to that and think, is it actually going to happen this year?

0:23:37 > 0:23:38Doing incredibly well on socks...

0:23:38 > 0:23:42But the boss of this clothing chain isn't taking part.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44For the high street, it is bonkers.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47I can't think of a better word to describe it.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50All it's doing is moving sales from December to November.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's not growing the market.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55And everybody's having to sell things at reduced margins.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59As the sun goes down in Leeds, who are the winners on Black Friday?

0:23:59 > 0:24:03Shoppers may feel they've bagged a bargain but,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06with all these discounts, the profits won't be

0:24:06 > 0:24:08sparkling for many retailers.

0:24:08 > 0:24:13Emma Simpson, BBC News.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Cricket now, and play is about to get under way

0:24:15 > 0:24:18in the third day of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20England and Australia are almost neck and neck.

0:24:20 > 0:24:30Andy Swiss is at Brisbane's cricket ground, the Gabba.

0:24:31 > 0:24:38Yes, Sophie, welcome. Day three has a pretty tough act to follow. So

0:24:38 > 0:24:44much drama on day two. Collapses and comebacks from both teams, and

0:24:44 > 0:24:50Australia will resume on 165-4, with the match intriguingly poised.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53After a patient opening day, the Ashes were about to hit

0:24:53 > 0:24:54the fast forward button.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Long queues outside the Gabba, and at first, England also

0:24:57 > 0:24:58played the waiting game.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00For an hour and a half they were calm, composed.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02A 50 for Dawid Malan.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06What could possibly go wrong?

0:25:06 > 0:25:07Well, pretty much everything as it turned out.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Malan's swish sparking a collapse in the grand English tradition.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Losing 6-56.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Moeen Ali was the next to go as Nathan Lyon sent

0:25:17 > 0:25:19the visitors spinning.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Chris Woakes was utterly bamboozled.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Jake Ball, brilliantly caught by David Warner.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And by the time Stuart Broad holed out, England hadn't

0:25:26 > 0:25:28even lasted the morning.

0:25:28 > 0:25:33All out for 302.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Well, lunch will be tasting pretty good for these Australian

0:25:36 > 0:25:40fans after that horrible collapse by England.

0:25:40 > 0:25:46Six wickets in barely an hour that transformed the mood of this match.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48But that mood was about to swing once again,

0:25:48 > 0:25:54as the Gabba's glee was silenced.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Stuart Broad with the breakthrough before a bit of Moeen magic,

0:25:57 > 0:26:00trapping Usman Khawaja.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Suddenly it was Australia's turn to tumble.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Warner inexplicably serving up catching practice.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10But they recovered thanks to an unbeaten half-century

0:26:10 > 0:26:12from captain Steve Smith to cap a day of fluctuating,

0:26:12 > 0:26:15fascinating fortunes.
