0:00:45 > 0:00:51Rugby League World Cup final for 22 years.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Good evening.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13The authorities in Egypt say gunmen who attacked a Mosque during Friday
0:01:13 > 0:01:18prayers killing more than 300 people were carrying the flag of
0:01:18 > 0:01:21the so-called Islamic State group.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Up to 30 men surrounded the building, opening fire
0:01:25 > 0:01:27on worshippers including children in the town of Bir Al Abed
0:01:27 > 0:01:28in northern Sinai.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31In response, Egyptian forces have been carrying out air strikes
0:01:31 > 0:01:34on some militant targets.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin's report contains
0:01:36 > 0:01:46some distressing images.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Warplanes take to the skies bound for Sinai. The President has
0:01:52 > 0:01:58promised Egypt will avenge its martyrs. The Army says air strikes
0:01:58 > 0:02:01destroyed weapons stockpiles and vehicles used by the militants who
0:02:01 > 0:02:06attacked the Mosque. It's still stands but is now a monument to
0:02:06 > 0:02:11sorrow. Inside, a trail of destruction, most of it too graphic
0:02:11 > 0:02:18to show. But this exclusive footage obtained by the BBC is testament to
0:02:18 > 0:02:28the horrors that unfolded here. In the general hospital one of the
0:02:28 > 0:02:33young survivors. He is 13, he was shot twice in the hand and the leg.
0:02:33 > 0:02:42And he is not the only casualty in his family. In the bed nearby his
0:02:42 > 0:02:4717-year-old cousin, also shot twice, once in the back. His mother is
0:02:47 > 0:02:54looking to God to punish those who brought such torment.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58TRANSLATION:I hope their hearts will be burned just like ours. The
0:02:58 > 0:03:04women have all become widowed. There are no men left. They are all gone.
0:03:04 > 0:03:16They are all gone.Then she leaned in to whisper. His father, his
0:03:16 > 0:03:21brother, his uncle, his cousin, all four gone, she said. She didn't want
0:03:21 > 0:03:28him to know. Among the visitors today a local
0:03:28 > 0:03:33leader of the coptic Church. Now it's not just Egypt's Christians
0:03:33 > 0:03:38being slaughtered as they pray.Of course it's very painful to see some
0:03:38 > 0:03:41people killed like this by terrorism, something very, very
0:03:41 > 0:03:47painful. We are co-operating with them, we are asking about their
0:03:47 > 0:03:52health and we will stand together until the end and Egypt will cross
0:03:52 > 0:04:05this bridge and will be fine.Here doctors consoling Akmen who made it
0:04:05 > 0:04:08out alive without children. There was shooting, he said. People just
0:04:08 > 0:04:13started running, some jumped out of the window. It's like I fell into a
0:04:13 > 0:04:19coma. God saved some of us, but others lost their lives.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24The death toll is continuing to climb here. More than 40 survivors
0:04:24 > 0:04:28from the attack were brought to this hospital, five have already lost
0:04:28 > 0:04:33their lives. Well-wishers and relatives have been coming and
0:04:33 > 0:04:39going, trying to offer support as Egypt struggles to come to terms
0:04:39 > 0:04:46with this attack. Loss on this scale has brought shock, uncertainty and
0:04:46 > 0:04:51fear. The village of Bir Al Abed, scene of the attack, has been robbed
0:04:51 > 0:04:58of a quarter of its men. For now, at least, Egyptians seem united - in
0:04:58 > 0:05:09grief. It's been a troubled region for many
0:05:09 > 0:05:12areas as what can the Government do to prevent future attacks?We saw a
0:05:12 > 0:05:17quick response to the massacre at the Mosque, we had air strikes, that
0:05:17 > 0:05:21comes from the usual military playbook. There is no claim of
0:05:21 > 0:05:25responsibility yet but the defence ministry said they were targeting
0:05:25 > 0:05:30militants linked to the attack. Now all speculation is still focussing
0:05:30 > 0:05:35on IS, even if this was their work, they May never claim it because
0:05:35 > 0:05:38there is such a degree of revulsion following this attack. There's been
0:05:38 > 0:05:42a large-scale military operation grinding on in the northern Sinai
0:05:42 > 0:05:45peninsula for years. From time to time, the military here tell us they
0:05:45 > 0:05:50have killed scores of jihadis and destroyed arms dumps and hide outs
0:05:50 > 0:05:54but yet we see the militants can still strike and not only strike,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57but as they did yesterday, hit harder than ever before. Many
0:05:57 > 0:06:01critics would say if the Army wants to tackle the militants in the north
0:06:01 > 0:06:06it has to deal with the local tribes, address their grievances
0:06:06 > 0:06:09about lack of employment, lack of investment, marginalisation, and I
0:06:09 > 0:06:14have to say there is a real sense, a fear here tonight, that Egypt could
0:06:14 > 0:06:17start to experience the violence that its neighbours have seen, in
0:06:17 > 0:06:20the words of one Egyptian commentator, I am afraid that Egypt
0:06:20 > 0:06:28could become another Iraq. Thank you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30The leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, has warned Sinn Fein
0:06:30 > 0:06:33that it needs to get serious, if the devolution is to be restored
0:06:33 > 0:06:34in Northern Ireland.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The power-sharing Executive at Stormont collapsed in January,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and now the DUP's Arlene Foster has told her party conference,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42that unless a deal is agreed soon, Westminster would have to take over
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the running of the government.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Here's our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54The Democratic Unionists are making the most of the influence
0:06:54 > 0:06:55they have at Downing Street.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I think actually the likeness is very good...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Without a Government at Stormont, Arlene Foster is no longer
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Northern Ireland's First Minister but her ten MPs make a formidable
0:07:03 > 0:07:06team because the Conservatives need their support in crucial
0:07:06 > 0:07:11votes at Westminster.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It is this party that stands in the heart of Government,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17not in Northern Ireland, but across the United Kingdom.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21APPLAUSE.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25But the DUP desperately wants to be in power at Stormont and that's not
0:07:25 > 0:07:29possible because of the ongoing divisions between unionists
0:07:29 > 0:07:34and Irish republicans.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37This was the party conference a year ago.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Arlene Foster was riding high but the last 12 months
0:07:40 > 0:07:42have been difficult.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45A scandal over a botched green energy scheme and deep differences
0:07:45 > 0:07:49with Sinn Fein over culture, identity and Brexit have left
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Northern Ireland in months of limbo without Government.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59They complain about Brexit, all the while refusing to form
0:07:59 > 0:08:04an Executive or take their seats in parliament and they go
0:08:04 > 0:08:07to conference and glory in the murder of the IRA.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11APPLAUSE.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Yet, when you listen to Sinn Fein, they blame everyone else.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Now it's time Sinn Fein got serious.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Despite the flags, cheers and shouts, this has felt a more
0:08:24 > 0:08:28muted party conference and perhaps that reflects a deal
0:08:28 > 0:08:31with Sinn Fein is looking unlikely and that the entire future
0:08:31 > 0:08:33of devolution in Northern Ireland is deeply uncertain.
0:08:33 > 0:08:42Chris Buckler, BBC news, Belfast.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44They were called the Dreadnoughts of the Trenches, and changed
0:08:44 > 0:08:46the face of modern warfare.
0:08:46 > 0:08:56Now, 100 years after the first tanks were deployed in the battle
0:09:01 > 0:09:04of Cambrai in the First World War, members of the Royal Tank Regiment
0:09:04 > 0:09:07have returned to the French town, to commemorate those who died.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Robert Hall joined the crowds paying their respects.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10On the terraced lawn of the Cambrai Memorial,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13today's tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds
0:09:13 > 0:09:14of a new military family.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17In November 1917, the early tank men clambered into over
0:09:17 > 0:09:19400 lumbering machines, for the largest tank
0:09:19 > 0:09:21attack ever mounted.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Inside the metal hulls, crews were overcome
0:09:23 > 0:09:24by heat and exhaust fumes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Many tanks broke down.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31One battle-scarred veteran has been adopted by the French
0:09:31 > 0:09:33village where it fought.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Tank D51 - Deborah to her crew - was abandoned and lost.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42Until a local historian found her back in 1998 and began
0:09:42 > 0:09:44the task of preserving her.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Today, Deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her
0:09:50 > 0:09:52part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It is simply a love story.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It's a love story which has started when first I met a lady who let me
0:09:58 > 0:10:03know that she knows a place where a tank was buried.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Deborah's crew are buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks
0:10:06 > 0:10:16advanced further and faster than anyone imagined.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20But the bravery of the crews and the sheer power
0:10:20 > 0:10:22of the tanks came to naught.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24The Allies were once again driven back.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change
0:10:26 > 0:10:27in the way wars were fought.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29The tank had proved its worth.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31A machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Its birth came at a high cost.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38These ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under
0:10:38 > 0:10:42the rolling farmland they crossed.
0:10:42 > 0:10:52Robert Hall, BBC News, on the battlefield of Cambrai.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53With all the sport, here's Reshmin Choutary
0:10:53 > 0:10:55at the BBC Sport Centre.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58England have reached their first Rugby League World Cup final
0:10:58 > 0:11:01since 1995 after surviving a dramatic comeback from Tonga.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04They came to within seconds of letting slip their 20-point lead
0:11:04 > 0:11:07but held on and will now face Australia for the title.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Joe Lynskey reports.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13For England, some wins are worth waiting for.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18After three straight defeats in World Cup semifinals,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20victory finally came, but with a scare.
0:11:20 > 0:11:28To get to Brisbane, England had to cross the Red Sea.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29but.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32England found an early break through the Pacific wave.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Wing play in this sport is about timing and Jermaine
0:11:34 > 0:11:35McGillivray is rarely late.
0:11:35 > 0:11:44A try for him for the tenth straight England match.
0:11:44 > 0:11:51By the second half they looked safe and sound.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But the drama was just beginning.
0:11:54 > 0:12:02Tonga's fans sing hymns from the stands and now the team had
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The chorus inspired them to three tries.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10And in the final seconds, they were on charge for the line.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Fifita has lost it!
0:12:11 > 0:12:16He has lost it and England have won it!
0:12:16 > 0:12:23England now await a final 22 years in the making.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The latest round of Rugby Union's autumn internationals have seen
0:12:25 > 0:12:26victories for England and Ireland.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Scotland won too, convincingly, over Australia, while Wales played
0:12:28 > 0:12:30host to world champions New Zealand.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Patrick Gearey reports.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32No wonder they are buying souvenirs.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Something's stirring in Scottish rugby, and who better
0:12:34 > 0:12:36to test their new confidence against than Australia.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39There is heartbreaking history here.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42The Wallabies have a habit of snatching victory from the Scots
0:12:42 > 0:12:43and there were ominous signs.
0:12:43 > 0:12:4412-10, the Aussies lead.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It all changed with a charge.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49This was the last act of Sekope Kepu's match.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52It's a red card, for me.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Red meant, go, for Scotland, from the moment that
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Sean Maitland charged over, they took total control.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Byron McGuigan was not even due to be playing this
0:13:00 > 0:13:03match, but scored twice.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05With the extra man, Scotland found several extra gears.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Eight tries in all.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09They had never previously beaten Australia by more than nine points.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11This time, they won by 29.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14They had hopes of defying history in Cardiff, too.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Their only fading, flickering memories of the last time
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Wales beat New Zealand, back in 1953.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25On a different ground, and in what seems to be a different
0:13:25 > 0:13:27game to the one the current All Blacks play.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29A modern combination of the bombastic and the gymnastic.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Waisake Naholo scored twice from two attacks.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Wales hadn't deserved that, still, instead of getting mad,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37they very nearly got even.
0:13:37 > 0:13:44Scott Williams brought them to within a point
0:13:44 > 0:13:45of New Zealand at half-time.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47They trailed by more in '53.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48But, the men in black are dangerously elusive.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50They score when you think you are safe.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Rieko Ioane scored twice.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54That is why the All Blacks are the world's best,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55and why Wales must keep waiting.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Patrick Gearey, BBC News.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00England's women put ten tries past Canada to pull off an autumn series
0:14:00 > 0:14:02whitewash at Twickenham.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04They went into the game 2-0 up in the series
0:14:04 > 0:14:10and finished the match 69-15.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12England have a slim lead over Australia after day three
0:14:12 > 0:14:14of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17But after a superb century from captain Steve Smith and two
0:14:17 > 0:14:19quick wickets in the final hour, the hosts have the upper hand.
0:14:19 > 0:14:29Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss reports.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39After a balanced start to the Ashes, was this the day that
0:14:39 > 0:14:40the pendulum finally swung?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It edged tantalisingly towards England, Shaun Marsh one
0:14:42 > 0:14:44of a cluster of early wickets, but they couldn't shift
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Australia's rock.
0:14:46 > 0:14:53Steve Smith had not just a century but a batting masterclass.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58He guided Australia into the lead. When the innings finally ended
0:14:58 > 0:15:05Australia were 26 ahead and Smith 141 not out, cheered to the rafters.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Now for England's openers to steady the ship - or not.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12A hook from Alastair Cook.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17James Vince next. 17 for two as Australia's Paceman piled on the
0:15:17 > 0:15:20pressure. A
0:15:20 > 0:15:22A horrible moment for Joe Root, thankfully unhurt.
0:15:22 > 0:15:31He clung on to the close but England are up against it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Tomorrow will be slightly different.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37A day which began so promisingly for England has ended with them
0:15:37 > 0:15:42under huge pressure.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44After two days of level pegging, it's now Australia
0:15:44 > 0:15:51with the upper hand.
