Good afternoon.

0:00:210:00:22

Five people including three children

have been killed after a stolen car

0:00:220:00:25

crashed into a tree in Leeds.

0:00:250:00:28

Officers were called

to the Meanwood area

0:00:280:00:30

of the city last night.

0:00:300:00:34

of the city last night.

0:00:340:00:35

Two 15-year-old boys are being held

in custody on suspicion

0:00:350:00:38

of dangerous driving.

0:00:380:00:39

Our correspondent Alison

Freeman is at the scene.

0:00:390:00:45

Debris is still scattered across the

road behind me. Police have said

0:00:510:00:55

they have informed the families of

those who died but they are not

0:00:550:00:59

confirming their identities at the

moment. As you can see, police

0:00:590:01:04

remaining at the scene, trying to

establish exactly what happened here

0:01:040:01:07

last night.

0:01:070:01:10

Officers said they were faced

the scene of complete carnage when

0:01:100:01:14

they arrived here last night. The

west Yorkshire force said the stolen

0:01:140:01:18

Renault Clio had crashed into this

tree just before ten o'clock. Five

0:01:180:01:24

people lost their lives. The

youngest of those who died was a

0:01:240:01:28

12-year-old boy. Two other boys aged

15, and two other men in their 20s

0:01:280:01:35

were also killed. It's not yet known

if all of those who died had been

0:01:350:01:38

travelling in the car when it

crashed or if some had been walking

0:01:380:01:42

along the road at the time. Two

other 15 -year-old boys have been

0:01:420:01:49

arrested on suspicion of dangerous

driving. Police are on the scene

0:01:490:01:52

trying to work out what happened

here last night. Police are

0:01:520:01:57

appealing for witnesses to what they

are describing is a tragic accident,

0:01:570:02:00

to come forward.

0:02:000:02:03

The International Trade Secretary,

Liam Fox, has said there can be no

0:02:030:02:06

final decisions on the future

of the Irish border until Britain

0:02:060:02:09

and the European Union have

reached a trade agreement.

0:02:090:02:11

Brussels has given the UK

until the 4th December to come

0:02:110:02:13

up with proposals on the border

and other key issues to allow

0:02:130:02:16

Brexit talks to progress

to their next phase.

0:02:160:02:18

Our political correspondent

Chris Mason reports.

0:02:180:02:27

Could this be the giant sticking

point that stops the Brexit talks

0:02:270:02:32

moving on? The border between

Northern Ireland and the Republic,

0:02:320:02:35

what will soon be the frontier

between the UK and the EU. Ireland

0:02:350:02:40

insists it must remain open, almost

invisible after Brexit, or it could

0:02:400:02:48

block the talks progressing. But one

leading Brexiteer in the Cabinet

0:02:480:02:53

said the negotiations need to move

forward to discuss the future in

0:02:530:02:56

order to sort this out.

We cannot

get a final answer to the Irish

0:02:560:03:01

question until we get an idea of the

end state, and until we get into

0:03:010:03:06

discussions with the European Union

on the end state that will be

0:03:060:03:09

difficult, so the quicker we can do

that the better. We are still in a

0:03:090:03:14

position where the EU doesn't want

to do that, and we are getting close

0:03:140:03:27

now to 2018 when we will be talking

about next year when we leave the

0:03:270:03:30

European Union.

The British

government wants the UK to leave the

0:03:300:03:32

customs union after Brexit meaning

our economy and the EU economy would

0:03:320:03:34

be governed by different rules. Some

say that means it would be

0:03:340:03:37

impossible not to have a more

obvious border, and some...

The way

0:03:370:03:40

to stay the same on the island of

Ireland posts Brexit is for the UK

0:03:400:03:47

to take their red line off the

table, but to stay in the customs

0:03:470:03:51

union and single market gives what

we have today - and invisible

0:03:510:03:56

border, seamless trade, and it will

help build and keep those

0:03:560:04:00

relationships.

Labour says the

Government needs to be willing to be

0:04:000:04:04

more flexible.

What this Government

has done is ruled out remaining a

0:04:040:04:09

member of the single market or a

member of the customs union. That is

0:04:090:04:13

what they have said very clearly,

that they will leave both of those

0:04:130:04:18

institutions. We have not ruled

those of the table.

In just over a

0:04:180:04:24

fortnight, it will be crunch time

for the Government. Will the EU say

0:04:240:04:29

yes to talking about the future?

What happens along this 310 mile

0:04:290:04:34

border will be central to how that

question is answered. Chris Mason,

0:04:340:04:39

BBC News.

0:04:390:04:41

Police could be given

the power to crack down

0:04:410:04:43

on the illegal use of drones,

as part of proposed new legislation.

0:04:430:04:46

Owners of devices over a certain

size will also be required

0:04:460:04:48

to register with the authorities

and sit safety awareness tests.

0:04:480:04:51

The measures are included

in the draft Drone Bill,

0:04:510:04:53

which will be published next spring.

0:04:530:04:54

Joe Lynam reports.

0:04:540:04:58

Once the preserve of enthusiasts,

nowadays drones are everywhere.

0:04:580:05:03

They're cheaper, lighter,

and can do a lot more

0:05:030:05:05

than just hover in the air.

0:05:050:05:09

Many prototype drones

are being developed to work where it

0:05:110:05:13

might be dangerous for humans.

0:05:130:05:15

They can fly into water,

for example, and propel

0:05:150:05:18

themselves back out.

0:05:180:05:23

These drones can be used

on oil rigs to fix cables

0:05:230:05:26

in treacherous conditions.

0:05:260:05:28

And that's the kind of application

that the Aviation Minister wants

0:05:280:05:31

industry to tap into.

0:05:310:05:34

We've looked at the drones today,

which can help in the construction

0:05:340:05:37

industry, in the mining industry,

on offshore oil rigs,

0:05:370:05:40

and what's really exciting

is actually they can do the jobs

0:05:400:05:43

which actually put people at risk,

so hopefully it will

0:05:430:05:45

help on safety as well.

0:05:450:05:47

And to prevent drones getting too

close to airports and prisons,

0:05:470:05:51

the proposed Drone Bill could mean

that owners of drones weighing more

0:05:510:05:55

than 250 grams will need

to register and do a test.

0:05:550:05:58

They will also be banned

from flying near airports

0:05:580:06:00

or higher than 120 metres,

or 400 feet.

0:06:000:06:04

Police will get new powers to seize

unmanned aerial vehicles.

0:06:040:06:11

DJI is one of the biggest drone

manufacturers in the world.

0:06:110:06:14

Could these new rules

hit their sales?

0:06:140:06:18

It could.

0:06:180:06:20

But we have already implemented

many of the things we have seen

0:06:200:06:23

the government now proposing,

so we don't believe that it will.

0:06:230:06:25

And we believe, as an industry,

that anyone flying a drone

0:06:250:06:28

should take proportionate

measures for safety.

0:06:280:06:34

With the Christmas rush well under

way, some have predicted that drones

0:06:340:06:37

will be one of the biggest

sellers this winter.

0:06:370:06:39

Soon, though, new owners

won't simply be allowed to open

0:06:390:06:42

the box and fly them straightaway.

Indonesia has put out a red alert

and is warning airlines to avoid

0:06:490:06:52

flying near a volcano

on the island of Bali.

0:06:520:06:54

Mount Agung has been spewing out

smoke and volcanic ash thousands

0:06:540:06:59

of metres into the sky,

and there are fears it could soon

0:06:590:07:02

erupt for the first time

in more than 50 years.

0:07:020:07:05

The Archbishop of York,

John Sentamu, has resumed

0:07:050:07:07

wearing his clerical dog collar,

ten years after saying he wouldn't

0:07:070:07:09

wear one until Zimbabwe's president

Robert Mugabe resigned.

0:07:090:07:17

In 2007, the Archbishop dramatically

cut up his old dog collar

0:07:170:07:20

during a BBC interview.

0:07:200:07:22

He's now put on a new one,

saying Mugabe should apologise

0:07:220:07:24

for taking a prosperous country

to the brink of ruin.

0:07:240:07:29

Australia are closing

in on winning the first

0:07:310:07:33

Ashes Test against England.

0:07:330:07:34

After a small batting collapse,

England were bowled out this morning

0:07:340:07:38

for 195 in their second innings,

setting the hosts just 170 to win.

0:07:380:07:43

The home side finished day four

on 114 without loss needing just 56

0:07:430:07:46

to complete the victory.

0:07:460:07:49

Andy Swiss reports from Brisbane.

0:07:490:07:53

They left the field knowing victory

was just a matter of time.

0:07:530:07:57

With bat, and earlier with ball,

it was Australia's day,

0:07:570:07:59

as England's hopes soon faded.

0:07:590:08:04

as England's hopes soon faded.

0:08:040:08:05

Mark Stoneman snicking Nathan Lyon

before an action replay,

0:08:050:08:08

as Dawid Malan followed suit.

0:08:080:08:10

Captain Joe Root got

to 50, but no further.

0:08:100:08:12

The next ball, leg before.

0:08:120:08:14

Had his team's chances

gone with him?

0:08:140:08:17

Well, not quite,

as Moeen Ali briefly swung

0:08:170:08:19

the momentum back England's way.

0:08:190:08:21

But on 40, controversy.

0:08:210:08:24

Australia thought they'd

stumped him, but had they?

0:08:240:08:27

Anything behind the line, he was OK.

0:08:270:08:29

It was agonisingly close,

but after an age, he was out.

0:08:290:08:34

Jonny Bairstow battled on,

but when he swished straight down

0:08:340:08:37

Peter Hanscomb's throat,

the end was nigh.

0:08:370:08:41

England lost their last

four wickets in a flash,

0:08:410:08:43

and Australia needed just

170 to win.

0:08:430:08:46

England huddled in hope

of something special,

0:08:460:08:47

but it didn't materialise,

0:08:470:08:50

as Cameron Bancroft and David Warner

ruthlessly set about the run chase.

0:08:500:08:55

Both reached half centuries

by the close, leaving the visitors

0:08:550:08:57

demoralised and all but defeated.

0:08:570:09:02

demoralised and all but defeated.

0:09:020:09:07

Yes, a difficult day for England on

the pitch and a difficult day off it

0:09:080:09:13

too. The England and Wales Cricket

board say they have spoken to Jonny

0:09:130:09:17

Bairstow after reports he was

involved in an incident in a bar in

0:09:170:09:21

Perth at the start of the tour four

weeks ago. The BBC understands he

0:09:210:09:26

was having a drink in the same bar

as the Australian player Cameron

0:09:260:09:31

Bancroft when at one point in the

evening "Their heads met" although

0:09:310:09:37

it is understood the players left

amicably. The ECB released a

0:09:370:09:42

statement saying there's been no

report of any incident from the

0:09:420:09:46

venue, security or police and no

injury reported, but they say they

0:09:460:09:50

will follow up with the England

management after this Test match.

0:09:500:09:54

With the ongoing controversy

surrounding Ben Stokes, this is not

0:09:540:09:57

the sort of thing they need right

now.

Indeed, thank you very much.

0:09:570:10:03

That's it.

0:10:030:10:04

The next news on BBC

One is at 5.55pm.

0:10:040:10:06

Bye for now.
