terror attacks. They definitely could be a connection between them,

from France to Berlin and now Jerusalem. Israel blames previous

attacks on incitement by Palestinian officials and social media.

Palestinian leaders say they have been driven by anger after more than

20 years of on and off peace talks have failed to deliver an

independent Palestinian state. And Yolande is live

for us now in Jerusalem. How should we read this particular

attack in the context of what has been happening in the last 16

months? If we look back over that time period, when there has been a

wave of Palestinian attacks, it has mostly been knife attacks but also

shootings and some car running is and about 40 Israelis have been

killed. At the same time, more than 200 Palestinians have been killed

and Israel says most of them were involved in carrying out attacks and

others also died in clashes. In the past few weeks, the numbers of

attacks had really appeared to be subsiding so this lorry ramming will

greatly increase concern and tonight the Israeli Cabinet met to discuss

what happened and it decided to blockade the area of East Jerusalem

where this lorry driver came from and says it is taking other steps as

well. Pass of the man is to be demolished. And across Jerusalem,

tonight, you can see there has been an increase in security because of

concern about possible copycat attacks. Thank you.

Theresa May says the Government will take back control of Britain's

borders when we leave the EU and appeared to suggest that could

But in her first interview of the New Year, Mrs May said

the choice between controlling immigration and staying

in the single market was not a binary either/or decision.

Here's our political correspondent, Carole Walker.

After six months in power, the Prime Minister has begun

to signal what she wants from the Brexit negotiations.

She knows that no longer satisfies anyone.

Theresa May denies muddled thinking and said Britain would take back

control of its borders and appeared to hint that would mean

People talk in terms as if somehow we are leaving the EU

but we still want to kind of keep bits of membership of the EU.

We are leaving, we are coming out, we're not going to be a member

So the question is, what is the right relationship for the UK

to have with the European Union when we're outside?

Campaigners on both sides of the Brexit argument took that

as a clear signal we will leave the single market.

She had one question put to her three times

and still didn't answer it, which is, are you prioritising

immigration over access to the single market?

That was the question she didn't want to answer.

And I think now, ten to 11 weeks from the triggering of Article 50

and the most important negotiations for a generation, we need

more clarity than that and we haven't got it.

But Nicola Sturgeon warned any move to take Scotland out of the single

market as part of the UK could trigger a second

They will be making a big mistake if they think I am

We have to ask ourselves in Scotland, are we happy

to have the direction of our country, the kind

of country we want to be, determined by a right-wing

Conservative government, perhaps for the next 20 years?

Or do we want to take control of our own future?

Theresa May does not want her entire time in Downing Street to be defined

by Brexit and she stressed that referendum vote was a demand

for wider change to the way the country is run.

So she is promising a programme of social reform which she says

will help not just the poorest but every level of society.

It is about dealing with everyday injustices but also about all of us

recognising our obligations as citizens within the communities

It is about recognising that there is a role for government

but government needs to ensure that it is acting as effectively

as possible in its areas where it should be taking action.

She says her government will tackle the housing crisis,

the markets and change attitudes to mental health.

The Prime Minister's language is ambitious.

She will be judged on whether her policies deliver

Credit card and personal loan debt is at record levels,

according to new analysis by the TUC.

It says unsecured debt - money that's not borrowed

against property - has reached ?13,000 per household.

Unions are warning a slowdown in wage growth and increasing

inflation could make the debt more difficult to repay for

Here's our business correspondent, Joe Lynam.

With Christmas sales winding down, our finances

We appear to be taking on increasing amounts of unsecured debt.

That includes student loans and overdrafts but especially credit

Celine Jordan ran up credit card debts and overdrafts worth ?23,000.

Her finances are in order now but she said getting

12.5 on this card, X amount on that one.

Britain has a record total now of ?349 billion in unsecured debt.

For the average household, that figure has doubled

since 2000 to almost ?13,000, which means we spend almost 28%

of our disposable income, which is our earnings after tax,

And that doesn't even include the mortgage.

We looked at debt across the board, because that is what people

And we did also see about two thirds of the debt is from an increase

So we do think these figures are cause for concern and we think

there are issues that we really need to be thinking about as we go

into this quite worrying year where people are expecting to see

maybe another living standards squeeze.

But while some types of debt might be rising,

the Bank of England says mortgage arrears and loan defaults have

And the bank's Andy Haldane said last week that the regulator

Although the household debt ratio is high by historical comparison,

it has come down in a fairly sizeable way, by about

What is more is interest rates are still very low.

But with interest rates set to remain very low,

regulators are worried that we may be taking on too many debts,

which becomes an issue if the economy weakens in 2017.

Michael Plymouth Argyle the pilgrims, rarely has been a more

fitting nickname. Almost 9000 making the journey from Devon to

Merseyside, more in hope than expectation but then this is the FA

Cup. With every invasion comes a resistance movement. For much of the

game at Anfield, Plymouth are playing the part of both. Against a

side like Liverpool they would always be scares but that was all

they were. Plymouth might even have one less. Some fans can hardly

watch. But that perhaps a dream too far for even this competition. An

incredible result! In FA Cup history! Night with a replay and

Liverpool will have to make the long journey. For Peterborough, a shorter

trip but no less daunting. Against Chelsea, any hopes they had of glory

disappeared, beaten 4-1. Full progress, not that there were many

in Cardiff to see this. The excitement of the cup it seems does

not extend to fans. 16-year-old Ryan Sessegnon will not forget his trip

any time soon. In the day's final ten, Aston Villa's awayday ruined by

Tottenham. 2-0 and into the next round.

The Queen has recovered from her heavy cold and was well

enough to attend church at Sandringham this morning -

her first public appearance since the beginning of December.

Our Royal correspondent, Daniela Relph, was there.

Her report contains flash photography.

It had been a much anticipated arrival.

Driven in an estate Bentley, it was the first time the Queen had

been seen in public since arriving on her Sandringham

Cheered as she emerged from the car, she arrived just before 11am

for this morning's church service, accompanied by the Duke

She had missed church on both Christmas and New Year's Day due

Those who had waited were pleased to see her.

I saw her very close-up and she looked a little bit frail,

to be honest, but it's nice to see her.

Whenever you see her, you get a little buzz.

It is good to know that she was coming.

She did look quite bright in the car and that was quite nice, really.

The Queen's Speech, recorded a couple of weeks

before Christmas Day, had been one of the last times

She had also carried out an investiture in early December.

But over the past three weeks she has been laid low.

As a precaution, she was advised to stay inside and rest

The Queen's attendance at church is clearly a sign

Her appearance today will ease the inevitable concern

and speculation that arose during her absence from church

After church, the Queen was driven back to the main

She will remain in Norfolk until next month.
