0:00:21 > 0:00:22Good afternoon.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25The authorities in Egypt say gunmen who attacked a mosque during Friday

0:00:25 > 0:00:27prayers killing more than 300 people, were carrying the flag

0:00:27 > 0:00:30of the Islamic State group.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Up to 30 men surrounded the building, opening fire

0:00:32 > 0:00:34on worshippers including children, in the town of Bir-Al-Abed

0:00:34 > 0:00:40in Northern Sinai.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43In response, Egyptian forces have been carrying out air strikes

0:00:43 > 0:00:45on some militant targets.

0:00:45 > 0:00:53Our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin reports from Cairo.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Egyptian warplanes take to the skies, to target militants in

0:00:58 > 0:01:03northern Sinai. The army says this is a mission to avention the

0:01:03 > 0:01:10martyrs. There's been no claim of responsibility but according to

0:01:10 > 0:01:11officials, the attackers brandished flags of the so-called Islamic

0:01:11 > 0:01:18State. And here, one of their many victims

0:01:18 > 0:01:25in the General Hospital in Ismailia. Suleiman is 13. Shot twice, in the

0:01:25 > 0:01:31hand and in the leg and he's not the only victim in his family.

0:01:31 > 0:01:38In the same ward, his 17-year-old cousin, Eid Ahmed Salim, also shot

0:01:38 > 0:01:43twice, once in the back. His mother, is looking to God to punish those

0:01:43 > 0:01:51who brought such torment. TRANSLATION:I hope their hearts

0:01:51 > 0:01:56will be burnt just like ours. The women have all become widowed. There

0:01:56 > 0:02:00are no men left. They are all gone. They are all gone.

0:02:00 > 0:02:09Then she leaned in to whisper she has been bereaved four times over...

0:02:09 > 0:02:14Losing her husband, her oldest son, an uncle and a cousin. She didn't

0:02:14 > 0:02:23want Eid to know the death toll. In another ward we found doctors

0:02:23 > 0:02:26consoling Ahmed Saleem, praying with his family when the attackers

0:02:26 > 0:02:33struck, he lost two of his brothers and two of their children.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37He said there was shooting and people started to run, he told us.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42Some jumped out of the window, that God saved some but others lost their

0:02:42 > 0:02:48lives. Among the visitors today a leader of the Coptic church.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Christians are regular targets in their places of worships, now

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Muslims have voned them. More than 40 survivors of the attack were

0:02:58 > 0:03:01brought to this hospital but the death toll is continuing to climb.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06Five of those who came here have lost their lives. Well wishers and

0:03:06 > 0:03:11relatives are coming and going, trying to offer support and across

0:03:11 > 0:03:17the country Egyptians are struggling to come to terms with this attack.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22There is grief across the country as the dead are laid to rest.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26The village of Bir-Al-Abed, the scene of the attack, has lost a

0:03:26 > 0:03:33quarter of its men. Tonight hundreds of families are in mourning.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38And there are fears here that Egypt may be entering a new phase. In the

0:03:38 > 0:03:43words of one comment Aitor here with so many casualties in a single

0:03:43 > 0:03:46attack, Egypt could start to look like another Iraq. There are

0:03:46 > 0:03:49concerns too that the military does not have a strategy that can reign

0:03:49 > 0:03:55in the militants. It has been carrying out a large-scale offensive

0:03:55 > 0:04:02against them in northern Sinai for years but as we saw yesterday, so

0:04:02 > 0:04:05tragically, the militants have retained not just the ability to

0:04:05 > 0:04:10strike but to hit harder than ever.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Two men have been interviewed by detectives, after an altercation

0:04:12 > 0:04:14at Oxford Street tube station in central London yesterday,

0:04:14 > 0:04:15created mass panic.

0:04:15 > 0:04:1816 people were hurt in a rush to leave the area, after reports

0:04:18 > 0:04:19of gunshots.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Investigators now say there's no evidence

0:04:21 > 0:04:24weapons had been fired.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26The leader of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists, Arlene Foster,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29has warned Sinn Fein to "get serious," about restoring power

0:04:29 > 0:04:30sharing at Stormont.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32During a speech at her party's conference in Belfast,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34she said she's committed to resurrecting devolution,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37but it must deliver for everyone, and that means she said the DUP

0:04:37 > 0:04:39needs what she called "serious partners in government".

0:04:39 > 0:04:41But insisted any agreement between the two parties

0:04:41 > 0:04:48had to be balanced.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50They were called the 'Dreadnoughts of the Trenches,' and changed

0:04:50 > 0:04:51the face of modern warfare.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Now, 100 years since the first tanks were deployed in the battle

0:04:55 > 0:04:58of Cambrai in the First World War, members of the Royal Tank Regiment

0:04:58 > 0:05:01have returned to the French town, to commemorate those who died.

0:05:01 > 0:05:07Robert Hall joined the crowds paying their respects.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09On the terraced lawn of the Cambrai Memorial,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12today's tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds

0:05:12 > 0:05:13of a new military family.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18In November 1917, the early tank men clambered into over

0:05:18 > 0:05:20400 lumbering machines, for the largest tank

0:05:20 > 0:05:21attack ever mounted.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Inside the metal hulls, crews were overcome

0:05:24 > 0:05:26by heat and exhaust fumes.

0:05:26 > 0:05:33Many tanks broke down.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35One battle-scarred veteran has been adopted by the French

0:05:35 > 0:05:38village where it fought.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Tank D51 - Deborah to her crew - was abandoned and lost.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Until a local historian found her back in 1998 and began

0:05:44 > 0:05:45the task of preserving her.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Today, Deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her

0:05:48 > 0:05:58part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01It is simply a love story.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05It's a love story which has started when first I met a lady who let me

0:06:05 > 0:06:10know that she knows a place where a tank was buried.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Deborah's crew are buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks

0:06:12 > 0:06:14advanced further and faster than anyone imagined.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16But the bravery and the crews and the sheer power

0:06:16 > 0:06:21of the tanks came to naught.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23The Allies were once again driven back.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change

0:06:25 > 0:06:28in the way wars were fought.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33The tank had proved its worth.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35A machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Its birth came at a high cost.

0:06:39 > 0:06:46These ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under

0:06:46 > 0:06:49the rolling farmland they crossed.

0:06:49 > 0:06:57Robert Hall, BBC News, on the battlefield of Cambrai.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59England are through to their first Rugby League World Cup

0:06:59 > 0:07:01final since 1995.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04They beat Tonga to secure their place, and now face

0:07:04 > 0:07:06the co-hosts Australia for the chance to be

0:07:06 > 0:07:07crowned Champions.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Joe Lynskey reports.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13For England some wins are worth waiting for.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15After three straight defeats in World Cup semi-finals,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18victory finally came with a scare.

0:07:18 > 0:07:28To get to Brisbane they had to cross the Red Sea,

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Auckland had become Tongan territory but England found an

0:07:32 > 0:07:34early break through the Pacific wave, wing

0:07:34 > 0:07:44play in this support is

0:07:50 > 0:07:52about timing and Jermaine McGilvray is rarely late.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54A try for him for the tenth straight England match.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57It set him team on the way to a 20-point lead.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59By the second half they looked safe and

0:07:59 > 0:08:00sound.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03It is looking now as though it will be an England semifinal.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05But the drama was just beginning.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Tonga's fans sing hymns from the fans.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08The chorus stirred this them to three late tries.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11In the evenly seconds it was one more score for

0:08:11 > 0:08:12victory.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13He's lost it.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14England have won it.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19These islands may never get so close to get to the top of world spot but

0:08:19 > 0:08:23England are now in the making for the final.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25England are now in the making for the final.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33margin over the Wallabies, and they scored 8 tries.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's the second time Scotland have defeated Australia this year.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38And England have a slim lead over Australia,

0:08:38 > 0:08:40after day three of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane .

0:08:40 > 0:08:43But it was the hosts who really shone with a century

0:08:43 > 0:08:45from their captain Steve Smith, before his bowlers took two quick

0:08:45 > 0:08:47wickets in the final hour.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss reports.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58After a balanced start to the a was this the day that the pendulum

0:08:58 > 0:09:05finally swung? Briefly, tantalisingly, it edged towards

0:09:05 > 0:09:11England, Sean Marsh one of the cluster of early wickets and soon a

0:09:11 > 0:09:18first innings lead was in their sights. But they could not shift

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Australia's rock, Steve Smith, with not just a century but a batting

0:09:21 > 0:09:30masterclass. He guided Australia to the Gabba's delight, and Smith was

0:09:30 > 0:09:35141 not out, cheered to the rafters. Now for England's openers to steady

0:09:35 > 0:09:41the ship... Or not. A hook from Alastair Cook and Stark reeled him

0:09:41 > 0:09:48in. James Vince next and Australia piled on the pressure. A horrible

0:09:48 > 0:09:53moment for Joe Root, unhurt, with you Mark Stoneman he clung on to the

0:09:53 > 0:09:57close but England were up against it.
