0:00:22 > 0:00:23Good afternoon.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27More than 300 people are now known to have been killed by jihadists
0:00:27 > 0:00:28at a mosque in Egypt.
0:00:28 > 0:00:35Air strikes have been carried out against the Islamic State
0:00:35 > 0:00:37group militants blamed for the attack in Sinai.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40The authorities say up to 30 gunmen were involved.
0:00:40 > 0:00:50From Cairo, Sally Nabil sent this report.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Confusion, chaos and dispair, here in the city of--,
0:01:11 > 0:01:12the closest to Sinai,
0:01:12 > 0:01:13people gathered outside
0:01:13 > 0:01:15of the hospital where many of the victims lie,
0:01:15 > 0:01:25hoping for some good news.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Residents rushed to donate blood to save as many lives as possible.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Some of the wounded made it but others are gone.
0:01:30 > 0:01:40Inside the hospital, eyewitnesses have harrowing stories to tell.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48This is where hundreds of lives have been lost,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51including nearly 30 children.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53An explosion followed by a massive, unprecedented armed assault
0:01:53 > 0:01:55on defenceless worshippers, who were just going
0:01:55 > 0:02:03to Friday prayers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Military forces responded by air strikes, said to have targeted
0:02:05 > 0:02:09a number of vehicles with militants in them but many wonder if the iron
0:02:09 > 0:02:15fist strategy is good enough.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Militants have been launching frequent attacks, whose
0:02:16 > 0:02:17scale is getting bigger.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19IS-affiliated jihadists have been operating in Sinai
0:02:19 > 0:02:22for a couple of years.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25In 2015, they managed to down a Russian plane in the Red Sea
0:02:25 > 0:02:30resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, killing almost 200 people on board.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Last December, they bombed a main church in the heart of Cairo.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Their common target has always been military troops,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41as well as Christian families, but it is their first time
0:02:41 > 0:02:46to change tactics and shoot
0:02:46 > 0:02:48at their fellow Muslims inside a mosque.
0:02:48 > 0:02:57Sally Nabil, BBC News, Cairo.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59British Transport Police have interviewed two men who were
0:02:59 > 0:03:03apparently involved in an altercation on the London
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Underground rail platform that led to a security alert and the
0:03:06 > 0:03:11evacuation of two Tube stations. 16 people were injured in the
0:03:11 > 0:03:14evacuation yesterday.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Armed officers were called following reports of gunfire
0:03:15 > 0:03:17at Oxford Circus Tube Station.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19But investigators now say there is no evidence
0:03:19 > 0:03:20weapons had been fired.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Australia has criticised a proposal for trade after Brexit,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24warning that it could limit access to the UK markets.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's been suggested that Britain and the EU should split existing
0:03:27 > 0:03:29quotas on the amount of goods from around the world
0:03:29 > 0:03:32that can be imported without incurring full tariffs.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Australia is one of several countries that Britain
0:03:34 > 0:03:40is hoping to make deals with, when it leaves the EU.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43The DUP leader, Arlene Foster, will address her party's annual
0:03:43 > 0:03:48conference in Belfast later today.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52She's expected to focus on the party's influence in Westminster.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Mrs Foster will also reaffirm the DUP's commitment to restore
0:03:54 > 0:03:57a power-sharing agreement at Stormont, and will be watched
0:03:57 > 0:03:59closely for thoughts on Brexit and the question
0:03:59 > 0:04:08of the Irish border.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Car vandalism in England and Wales has jumped by 10% in three years.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16210,000 vehicles suffered criminal damage such as smashed windows
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and slashed tyres in 2016, according to data obtained
0:04:18 > 0:04:21by RAC Insurance.
0:04:21 > 0:04:31It's believed that the figures could be even higher -
0:04:31 > 0:04:33many motorists don't claim because they fear it would
0:04:33 > 0:04:34push their insurance premiums up.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Richard Lister reports.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's an infuriating problem for motorists and it's on the rise.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Around 60 cars were vandalised on this Colchester industrial estate
0:04:40 > 0:04:43in August, costing thousands of pounds to fix.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45New police figures show that across the country,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48more than 210,000 cars suffered criminal damage last year.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55That's up 10% since 2013.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02But the increase in Hertfordshire and in West Yorkshire was 25%,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04while Greater Manchester saw a 37% rise.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09And none of us are immune.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11In 2009, the former Cabinet Minister Hazel Blears
0:05:11 > 0:05:14found her car had been attacked by vandals.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Slashed tyres and broken windows mean a vehicle can be
0:05:16 > 0:05:17off the road for days.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Very frustrating for a motorist because of the inconvenience,
0:05:20 > 0:05:28the cost and the time it takes to get an effective repair.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31But we also feel it's probably just the tip of an iceberg as many people
0:05:31 > 0:05:33won't report a small incident of vandalism and certainly
0:05:33 > 0:05:35won't make an insurance claim.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40In this area near Luton Airport, holiday-makers who had parked
0:05:40 > 0:05:43in residential streets to avoid airport car parks had an unwelcome
0:05:43 > 0:05:46surprise when they returned.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Paying for secure parking would have been cheaper,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and if that's not available, the advice is to find
0:05:51 > 0:05:52well-lit, unobtrusive spaces to avoid the vandals.
0:05:52 > 0:05:59Richard Lister, BBC News.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02They were called the 'Dreadnoughts of the Trenches' that changed
0:06:02 > 0:06:04the face of modern warfare.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Now, 100 years since the first tanks were deployed in the Battle
0:06:07 > 0:06:10of Cambrai, in the First World War, members of the Royal Tank Regiment
0:06:10 > 0:06:13have returned to the French town to mark the loss of life.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Robert Hall joined the crowds paying their respects.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22On the terraced lawn of the Cambrai Memorial,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25today's tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds
0:06:25 > 0:06:35of a new military family.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38In November 1917, the early tank men clambered into over
0:06:38 > 0:06:39400 lumbering machines, for the largest tank
0:06:39 > 0:06:40attack ever mounted.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Inside the metal hulls, crews were overcome
0:06:42 > 0:06:43by heat and exhaust fumes.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Many tanks broke down.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49One battle-scarred veteran has been adopted by the French
0:06:49 > 0:06:52village where it fought.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Tank D51 - Deborah to her crew - was abandoned and lost.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Until a local historian found her back in 1998 and began
0:06:59 > 0:07:04the task of preserving her.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Today, Deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her
0:07:08 > 0:07:11part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It is simply a love story.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21It's a love story which has started when first I met a lady Who let me
0:07:21 > 0:07:27know that she knows a place where a tank was buried.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Deborah's crew are buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks
0:07:30 > 0:07:31advanced further and faster than anyone imagined.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But the bravery and the crews and the sheer power
0:07:34 > 0:07:35of the tanks came to naught.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The Allies were once again driven back.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change
0:07:39 > 0:07:41in the way wars were fought.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47The tank had proved its worth.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49A machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55Its birth came at a high cost.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58These ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under
0:07:58 > 0:08:08the rolling farmland they crossed.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Holly Hamilton is that the BBC sports centre.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Good afternoon.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23First to Brisbane, where England have a slim lead after Day Three
0:08:23 > 0:08:25of the opening Ashes Test, but it was Australia
0:08:25 > 0:08:26who really turned up the heat.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29After a century from captain Steve Smith, his bowlers took two
0:08:29 > 0:08:30quick wickets in the final hour.
0:08:30 > 0:08:38Our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss, was watching at the Gabba.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41After a to the Ashes, was this the this the day the pendulum finally
0:08:41 > 0:08:47swung? Briefly, tantalisingly, it edged towards England. Sean Marshall
0:08:47 > 0:08:52with a cluster of early wickets. When Stuart Broad brilliantly
0:08:52 > 0:08:55removed Mitchell dark, a first innings lead was in their sights.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59They could not shift Australia's Rock, Steve Smith would not just a
0:08:59 > 0:09:03century but a batting masterclass. That is what it means to rescue your
0:09:03 > 0:09:08team. With partners running out, he guided Australia into the lead to
0:09:08 > 0:09:13good the light of the Gabba. When their innings finally ended,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Australia were 26 ahead and Smith 141 not out, cheered to the rafters.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Now for England's openers to steady the ship, or not. A hop from
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Alastair Cook and Mitchell is the real Tim in, it did not get better
0:09:28 > 0:09:33in a torrid final session. James Vince next, 17-2, as Australia piled
0:09:33 > 0:09:37on the pressure. A horrible moment for Joe Root thankfully unhurt, he
0:09:37 > 0:09:41clung on to the close with Mark Stoneman, but England were up
0:09:41 > 0:09:43against it. A bit disappointed to lose two
0:09:43 > 0:09:49wickets, but it could have been a lot worse. It was just proper
0:09:49 > 0:09:55theatre, wasn't it? Proper Test match cricket. Fast bowling, but is
0:09:55 > 0:09:58playing well, some players taken. But tomorrow will be slightly
0:09:58 > 0:10:02different. So a day which began so promisingly
0:10:02 > 0:10:06for England has ended with them under huge pressure. After two days
0:10:06 > 0:10:13of level pegging, it is now Australia with the upper hand.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Qualifying is under way for the final race
0:10:15 > 0:10:18of the Formula One season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20World Champion Lewis Hamilton is looking for the 73rd pole
0:10:20 > 0:10:22position of his career, after he broke the track record
0:10:22 > 0:10:25earlier for the second day in a row in final practice.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29English golfer Tommy Fleetwood said he wasn't at the Hong Kong Open just
0:10:29 > 0:10:32for a party, after winning the Race to Dubai last week.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34He flew up the leaderboard in the third round with a 66.
0:10:34 > 0:10:41That took him to eight-under-par, two shots off the lead.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Scotland's women have won gold at the European Curling
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Championships in Switzerland.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Skip Eve Muirhead led her team to a 6-3 victory over Sweden.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Scotland's men will try to match that feat this afternoon.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57They also take on Sweden in their final.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Mica McNeill and Mica Moore have responded brilliantly
0:11:00 > 0:11:05to losing their funding from British Boblsleigh.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They finished fifth in the World Cup event at Whistler, in Canada -
0:11:08 > 0:11:11the best result for a British women's duo for over eight years.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13The pair were only able to compete on the circuit this
0:11:13 > 0:11:17year by raising more than £30,000 through crowdfunding.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19The rugby union Autumn Internationals continue this
0:11:19 > 0:11:21afternoon, with all four home nations in action.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Pick of the games looks to be Wales against New Zealand in Cardiff.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Wales haven't beaten the All Blacks for 64 years,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and Head Coach Warren Gatland thinks they'll be as tough
0:11:31 > 0:11:34a side as ever today.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40I don't think the All Blacks are ever vulnerable, they are more
0:11:40 > 0:11:43dangerous than they are ever going to be because it is the last game of
0:11:43 > 0:11:46the tour and they know they get a break after this. They will
0:11:46 > 0:11:50potentially have had a bit of criticism from last week, but they
0:11:50 > 0:11:53are undefeated on this tour and they know how to win and grind out
0:11:53 > 0:11:57performances and they know how to come back.
0:11:57 > 0:12:05And that match is live on BBC2, kick off at 5:!5.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Next on BBC One, you can watch all the highlights of an incredible
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Rugby League World Cup semi-final between England and Tonga.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12But for the moment, that's all the sport.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18Back to you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21The next news on BBC One is at quarter to six.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Bye for now.
