Good afternoon.

0:00:210:00:22

The authorities in Egypt say gunmen

who attacked a mosque during Friday

0:00:220:00:25

prayers killing more than 300

people, were carrying the flag

0:00:250:00:27

of the Islamic State group.

0:00:270:00:30

Up to 30 men surrounded

the building, opening fire

0:00:300:00:32

on worshippers including children,

in the town of Bir-Al-Abed

0:00:320:00:34

in Northern Sinai.

0:00:340:00:40

In response, Egyptian forces have

been carrying out air strikes

0:00:400:00:43

on some militant targets.

0:00:430:00:45

Our Middle East correspondent

Orla Guerin reports from Cairo.

0:00:450:00:53

Egyptian warplanes take to the

skies, to target militants in

0:00:530:00:58

northern Sinai. The army says this

is a mission to avention the

0:00:580:01:03

martyrs. There's been no claim of

responsibility but according to

0:01:030:01:10

officials, the attackers brandished

flags of the so-called Islamic

0:01:100:01:11

State.

And here, one of their many victims

0:01:110:01:18

in the General Hospital in Ismailia.

Suleiman is 13. Shot twice, in the

0:01:180:01:25

hand and in the leg and he's not the

only victim in his family.

0:01:250:01:31

In the same ward, his 17-year-old

cousin, Eid Ahmed Salim, also shot

0:01:310:01:38

twice, once in the back. His mother,

is looking to God to punish those

0:01:380:01:43

who brought such torment.

TRANSLATION:

I hope their hearts

0:01:430:01:51

will be burnt just like ours. The

women have all become widowed. There

0:01:510:01:56

are no men left. They are all gone.

They are all gone.

0:01:560:02:00

Then she leaned in to whisper she

has been bereaved four times over...

0:02:000:02:09

Losing her husband, her oldest son,

an uncle and a cousin. She didn't

0:02:090:02:14

want Eid to know the death toll. In

another ward we found doctors

0:02:140:02:23

consoling Ahmed Saleem, praying with

his family when the attackers

0:02:230:02:26

struck, he lost two of his brothers

and two of their children.

0:02:260:02:33

He said there was shooting and

people started to run, he told us.

0:02:330:02:37

Some jumped out of the window, that

God saved some but others lost their

0:02:370:02:42

lives. Among the visitors today a

leader of the Coptic church.

0:02:420:02:48

Christians are regular targets in

their places of worships, now

0:02:480:02:53

Muslims have voned them. More than

40 survivors of the attack were

0:02:530:02:58

brought to this hospital but the

death toll is continuing to climb.

0:02:580:03:01

Five of those who came here have

lost their lives. Well wishers and

0:03:010:03:06

relatives are coming and going,

trying to offer support and across

0:03:060:03:11

the country Egyptians are struggling

to come to terms with this attack.

0:03:110:03:17

There is grief across the country as

the dead are laid to rest.

0:03:170:03:22

The village of Bir-Al-Abed, the

scene of the attack, has lost a

0:03:220:03:26

quarter of its men. Tonight hundreds

of families are in mourning.

0:03:260:03:33

And there are fears here that Egypt

may be entering a new phase. In the

0:03:330:03:38

words of one comment Aitor here with

so many casualties in a single

0:03:380:03:43

attack, Egypt could start to look

like another Iraq. There are

0:03:430:03:46

concerns too that the military does

not have a strategy that can reign

0:03:460:03:49

in the militants. It has been

carrying out a large-scale offensive

0:03:490:03:55

against them in northern Sinai for

years but as we saw yesterday, so

0:03:550:04:02

tragically, the militants have

retained not just the ability to

0:04:020:04:05

strike but to hit harder than ever.

0:04:050:04:10

Two men have been interviewed

by detectives, after an altercation

0:04:100:04:12

at Oxford Street tube station

in central London yesterday,

0:04:120:04:14

created mass panic.

0:04:140:04:15

16 people were hurt in a rush

to leave the area, after reports

0:04:150:04:18

of gunshots.

0:04:180:04:19

Investigators now say

there's no evidence

0:04:190:04:21

weapons had been fired.

0:04:210:04:24

The leader of Northern Ireland's

Democratic Unionists, Arlene Foster,

0:04:240:04:26

has warned Sinn Fein to "get

serious," about restoring power

0:04:260:04:29

sharing at Stormont.

0:04:290:04:30

During a speech at her party's

conference in Belfast,

0:04:300:04:32

she said she's committed

to resurrecting devolution,

0:04:320:04:34

but it must deliver for everyone,

and that means she said the DUP

0:04:340:04:37

needs what she called "serious

partners in government".

0:04:370:04:39

But insisted any agreement

between the two parties

0:04:390:04:41

had to be balanced.

0:04:410:04:48

They were called the 'Dreadnoughts

of the Trenches,' and changed

0:04:480:04:50

the face of modern warfare.

0:04:500:04:51

Now, 100 years since the first tanks

were deployed in the battle

0:04:510:04:55

of Cambrai in the First World War,

members of the Royal Tank Regiment

0:04:550:04:58

have returned to the French town,

to commemorate those who died.

0:04:580:05:01

Robert Hall joined the crowds

paying their respects.

0:05:010:05:07

On the terraced lawn

of the Cambrai Memorial,

0:05:070:05:09

today's tank crews look back

to a week which cemented the bonds

0:05:090:05:12

of a new military family.

0:05:120:05:13

In November 1917, the early tank

men clambered into over

0:05:130:05:18

400 lumbering machines,

for the largest tank

0:05:180:05:20

attack ever mounted.

0:05:200:05:21

Inside the metal hulls,

crews were overcome

0:05:210:05:24

by heat and exhaust fumes.

0:05:240:05:26

Many tanks broke down.

0:05:260:05:33

One battle-scarred veteran has been

adopted by the French

0:05:330:05:35

village where it fought.

0:05:350:05:38

Tank D51 - Deborah to her crew -

was abandoned and lost.

0:05:380:05:41

Until a local historian

found her back in 1998 and began

0:05:410:05:44

the task of preserving her.

0:05:440:05:45

Today, Deborah is the centrepiece

of a new museum, commemorating her

0:05:450:05:48

part in the battle and the five

crewmen she lost.

0:05:480:05:58

It is simply a love story.

0:06:000:06:01

It's a love story which has started

when first I met a lady who let me

0:06:010:06:05

know that she knows a place

where a tank was buried.

0:06:050:06:10

Deborah's crew are buried nearby,

lost on a day when tanks

0:06:100:06:12

advanced further and faster

than anyone imagined.

0:06:120:06:14

But the bravery and the crews

and the sheer power

0:06:140:06:16

of the tanks came to naught.

0:06:160:06:21

The Allies were once

again driven back.

0:06:210:06:23

Cambrai, however, did mark

the start of a change

0:06:230:06:25

in the way wars were fought.

0:06:250:06:28

The tank had proved its worth.

0:06:280:06:33

A machine that is still evolving,

still a terrifying presence.

0:06:330:06:35

Its birth came at a high cost.

0:06:350:06:39

These ceremonies mark the passing

of the tank men who still lie under

0:06:390:06:46

the rolling farmland they crossed.

0:06:460:06:49

Robert Hall, BBC News,

on the battlefield of Cambrai.

0:06:490:06:57

England are through to their first

Rugby League World Cup

0:06:570:06:59

final since 1995.

0:06:590:07:01

They beat Tonga to secure

their place, and now face

0:07:010:07:04

the co-hosts Australia

for the chance to be

0:07:040:07:06

crowned Champions.

0:07:060:07:07

Joe Lynskey reports.

0:07:070:07:10

For England some wins

are worth waiting for.

0:07:100:07:13

After three straight defeats

in World Cup semi-finals,

0:07:130:07:15

victory finally came with a scare.

0:07:150:07:18

To get to Brisbane they had

to cross the Red Sea,

0:07:180:07:28

Auckland had become Tongan territory

but England found an

0:07:300:07:32

early break through

the Pacific wave, wing

0:07:320:07:34

play in this support

is

0:07:340:07:44

about timing and Jermaine

McGilvray is rarely late.

0:07:500:07:52

A try for him for the tenth

straight England match.

0:07:520:07:54

It set him team on the way

to a 20-point lead.

0:07:540:07:57

By the second half

they looked safe and

0:07:570:07:59

sound.

0:07:590:08:00

It is looking now as though it

will be an England semifinal.

0:08:000:08:03

But the drama was just beginning.

0:08:030:08:05

Tonga's fans sing

hymns from the fans.

0:08:050:08:06

The chorus stirred this them

to three late tries.

0:08:060:08:08

In the evenly seconds

it was one more score for

0:08:080:08:11

victory.

0:08:110:08:12

He's lost it.

0:08:120:08:13

England have won it.

0:08:130:08:14

These islands may never get so close

to get to the top of world spot but

0:08:140:08:19

England are now in the making for

the final.

0:08:190:08:23

England are now in the

making for the final.

0:08:230:08:25

And Scotland have beaten Australia,

in the latest round of Autumn rugby

0:08:250:08:28

union internationals.

0:08:280:08:29

They won by 53 points to 24,

their biggest winning

0:08:290:08:31

margin over the Wallabies,

and they scored 8 tries.

0:08:310:08:33

It's the second time Scotland have

defeated Australia this year.

0:08:330:08:36

And England have a slim

lead over Australia,

0:08:360:08:38

after day three of the first

Ashes Test in Brisbane .

0:08:380:08:40

But it was the hosts who really

shone with a century

0:08:400:08:43

from their captain Steve Smith,

before his bowlers took two quick

0:08:430:08:45

wickets in the final hour.

0:08:450:08:47

Our Sports Correspondent

Andy Swiss reports.

0:08:470:08:53

After a balanced start to the a was

this the day that the pendulum

0:08:530:08:58

finally swung? Briefly,

tantalisingly, it edged towards

0:08:580:09:05

England, Sean Marsh one of the

cluster of early wickets and soon a

0:09:050:09:11

first innings lead was in their

sights. But they could not shift

0:09:110:09:18

Australia's rock, Steve Smith, with

not just a century but a batting

0:09:180:09:21

masterclass. He guided Australia to

the Gabba's delight, and Smith was

0:09:210:09:30

141 not out, cheered to the rafters.

Now for England's openers to steady

0:09:300:09:35

the ship... Or not. A hook from

Alastair Cook and Stark reeled him

0:09:350:09:41

in. James Vince next and Australia

piled on the pressure. A horrible

0:09:410:09:48

moment for Joe Root, unhurt, with

you Mark Stoneman he clung on to the

0:09:480:09:53

close but England were up against

it.
