0:00:04 > 0:00:08The International Trade Secretary says Irish border arrangements

0:00:08 > 0:00:12cannot be finalised at this stage of the Brexit process.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Brussels wants sufficient progress on issues including the Irish border

0:00:15 > 0:00:18in the coming weeks - Liam Fox says it can only be fully

0:00:18 > 0:00:23resolved alongside future trade.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Two teenagers are in custody after a car crash in Leeds killed

0:00:25 > 0:00:30five people, three of them children.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Tightening up the law on drones, registration and safety tests

0:00:32 > 0:00:36could be introduced next year.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39And with England on the verge of defeat in the first Ashes' test,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42players' behaviour off the pitch comes under scrutiny.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Good evening.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, has said there can be no

0:01:08 > 0:01:11final decision on Irish border arrangements after Brexit

0:01:11 > 0:01:14until the UK and the EU have reached an agreement on future trade.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18The comments come as the EU demands enough progress on issues including

0:01:18 > 0:01:21the border within the next few weeks in order for talks to move

0:01:21 > 0:01:23on to the next phase.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Irish officials have suggested that they might veto that

0:01:26 > 0:01:29unless they have guarantees on how the border will operate in future.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Our political correspondent Chris Mason reports.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Could this be the 310 mile sticking point that stopped the Brexit talks

0:01:37 > 0:01:40moving on?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43The border between Northern Ireland and the Republic,

0:01:43 > 0:01:49what will soon be the frontier between the UK and the EU.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Ireland insists it must remain open, almost invisible after Brexit, or it

0:01:52 > 0:01:57could block the talks progressing.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05But the Government says until there is a discussion about the future,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08the border issue cannot be resolved.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11We can't get a final answer to the Irish question until we get

0:02:11 > 0:02:14an idea of the end state, and until we get into discussions

0:02:14 > 0:02:19with the European Union on the end state, that will be very difficult.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20So the quicker we can do that, the better, and we're

0:02:20 > 0:02:24still in a position where the EU doesn't want to do that.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27We are getting close now to 2018, when we will be talking

0:02:27 > 0:02:29about next year when we leave the European Union.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37There's long been irritation in government here that the EU

0:02:37 > 0:02:40won't let talks progress to the next stage until sufficient progress has

0:02:40 > 0:02:42been made on money, citizens' rights and the Irish border.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Both London and Dublin agree that they don't want

0:02:44 > 0:02:47the return of a hard border, but neither side has yet publicly

0:02:47 > 0:02:49suggested a solution that is compatible on both sides

0:02:49 > 0:02:54of the Irish Sea.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57The British government wants the UK to leave what's known as the single

0:02:57 > 0:03:01market and the customs union after Brexit, meaning our economy

0:03:01 > 0:03:06and the EU economy would be governed by different rules.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Some say that means it'll be impossible not to have a more

0:03:11 > 0:03:14obvious border, and so...

0:03:14 > 0:03:16The way to stay the same on the island of Ireland

0:03:16 > 0:03:21as it is today post-Brexit is for at least the UK to take

0:03:21 > 0:03:24their red line off the table, but to stay in the customs union

0:03:24 > 0:03:27and single market gives us what we have today -

0:03:27 > 0:03:30an invisible border, seamless trade, and it will help

0:03:30 > 0:03:37build and keep those relationships.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Ministers here insist that will not happen.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Labour says the Government needs to be willing to be more flexible.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47What this Government has done is it's ruled out remaining a member

0:03:47 > 0:03:51of the single market or a member of the customs union.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54That is what they have said very clearly, that they will leave both

0:03:54 > 0:03:56of those institutions.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58We have not ruled those off the table.

0:03:58 > 0:04:06We've said they are still options.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11Christmas is getting closer, but next month's crunchy EU Summit is

0:04:11 > 0:04:16closer still. This is a delicate operation, and all sides agree a

0:04:16 > 0:04:20unique solution is needed for the Irish border. They agree that

0:04:20 > 0:04:26pulling that off is an incredibly tricky manoeuvre.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Chris Mason, BBC News.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler is in Belfast.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37There seems to be a picture building of frustration on both sides of the

0:04:37 > 0:04:40border?Yes, the British and Irish governments have always talked about

0:04:40 > 0:04:45the shared interest they have a long shared border, but the language is

0:04:45 > 0:04:50definitely. Even today you have an EU Commission from Ireland saying

0:04:50 > 0:04:54that it will use its veto to prevent talks moving on to trade unless they

0:04:54 > 0:04:57get guarantees about the border. The Republic of Ireland has been

0:04:57 > 0:05:01dangling this idea that even if the rest of the UK were to leave the

0:05:01 > 0:05:05customs union and the single market, Northern Ireland could potentially

0:05:05 > 0:05:09stay in it. However, that is a solution that is completely

0:05:09 > 0:05:12unacceptable to the Democratic Unionist Party. They say that, in

0:05:12 > 0:05:15simple terms, it would create a border between one part of the UK

0:05:15 > 0:05:23and another, essentially a border along the Irish Sea. You have a

0:05:23 > 0:05:28difficult situation. The DUP's voice really matters, not least because

0:05:28 > 0:05:30the Conservative Government are relying on their support at

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Westminster. The minority government in Ireland have their own problems,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38and a political row is threatening to force a snap election there. But

0:05:38 > 0:05:42there is a consensus across the parties in Dublin about this issue,

0:05:42 > 0:05:45they are making clear they will do all they can to ensure there is no

0:05:45 > 0:05:49hard or physical border on this island.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Five people, including three children, have been killed

0:05:52 > 0:05:55after a stolen car crashed into a tree in Leeds.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Officers were called to the Meanwood area

0:05:58 > 0:06:01of the city last night, just before 10pm.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Two 15-year-old boys are being held in custody on suspicion

0:06:03 > 0:06:04of dangerous driving.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Our correspondent Alison Freeman is at the scene.

0:06:07 > 0:06:13Alison.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18Well, the cordon has just been taken down in the past few moments. We

0:06:18 > 0:06:21have watched throughout the day as officers have examined the scene,

0:06:21 > 0:06:25trying to understand what caused this crash. We have also seen young

0:06:25 > 0:06:29people coming here, wanting to lay flowers and pay tribute to those

0:06:29 > 0:06:31that lost their lives.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Officers said they were faced with a scene of complete carnage

0:06:34 > 0:06:40when they arrived here last night.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44A stolen Renault Clio crashed into this tree just before ten o'clock.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Five people lost their lives.

0:06:46 > 0:06:55It included two brothers, aged just 14 and 12. The family have paid

0:06:55 > 0:07:00tribute to the boys, along with three others aged 15, 24 and 20

0:07:00 > 0:07:08eight. People living in this quiet area are understandably shocked.I

0:07:08 > 0:07:12looked out of the bedroom window and saw the blue lights. It is horrible.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16It's scary, a scary thought, with it being at the end of the street. With

0:07:16 > 0:07:21my family here.Debris from the crush is strewn across the road. The

0:07:21 > 0:07:25crash investigators are sifting through, trying to establish exactly

0:07:25 > 0:07:29what happened last night in what police are describing as a tragic

0:07:29 > 0:07:34accident. It is not yet known if all of those who died had been

0:07:34 > 0:07:37travelling in the car when it crashed, or if some had been walking

0:07:37 > 0:07:43along the road at the time. Police say two died at the scene, and three

0:07:43 > 0:07:48others died later in hospital. Two 15-year-old boys have been arrested

0:07:48 > 0:07:52on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They are being

0:07:52 > 0:07:54questioned whilst investigations continue.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58More details are emerging about the mosque attack in Egypt

0:07:58 > 0:08:00on Friday, which killed more than 300 worshippers -

0:08:00 > 0:08:04the worst the country has suffered in recent memory.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Officials believe up to 30 gunmen were involved.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10As our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin reports,

0:08:10 > 0:08:13local people are asking what more needs to be done in the fight

0:08:13 > 0:08:18against extremists in Sinai.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22This report contains some distressing images.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Trying to bring comfort after an attack that has horrified Egypt and

0:08:27 > 0:08:35caused shock around the world. Among the survivors, the imam. He was

0:08:35 > 0:08:41leading the prayers when terror came to the mosque. As soon as people

0:08:41 > 0:08:45heard firing they started to run, he says. Some climbed onto the pulpit.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48They were piled on top of each other. The attackers were shooting

0:08:48 > 0:08:58at anyone breathing.My friends lost their families, their cousins and

0:08:58 > 0:09:06brothers, some lost their sons.This Sinai journalist is from Bir

0:09:06 > 0:09:10al-Abed, where the attack took place. He says it is a turning point

0:09:10 > 0:09:18for local tribes, who have resolved to hunt the militants themselves.

0:09:18 > 0:09:26The tribe members yesterday, almost 400 people were at the meeting. They

0:09:26 > 0:09:33decided to carry arms.In a propaganda video, the main suspects,

0:09:33 > 0:09:39the Egyptian branch of IS, which has found fertile ground among the

0:09:39 > 0:09:47desert sand and neglect in Sinai. Now it has money, resources, weapons

0:09:47 > 0:09:51and recruits. Sadly and tragically, the Egyptian government has

0:09:51 > 0:10:00basically used only military means against the Isis branch in North

0:10:00 > 0:10:06Sinai. You need to dislodge Isis from the social and political

0:10:06 > 0:10:10grievances that exist in Sinai. Experts say the Egyptian army has

0:10:10 > 0:10:15been relying only on military might to try to defeat IS in Sinai. Now,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18more than ever, it needs a new battle plan.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Owners of drones will have to register - and take

0:10:24 > 0:10:26safety awareness tests - as part of proposed new legislation.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Police will also be given new powers to crack down

0:10:28 > 0:10:33on criminal use of the devices.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36But as Joe Lynham reports the Government is also keen

0:10:36 > 0:10:37to develop the technology.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40They could be one of the most coveted presents this Christmas.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Prices have come down and you can do a lot more with them.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45This potential customer says he would use one for aerial

0:10:45 > 0:10:47surveys and research.

0:10:47 > 0:10:55But he knows there needs to be more controls.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56It's all for safety, isn't it?

0:10:56 > 0:10:59We don't want drones crashing into planes and things like that.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Safety concerns surrounding drones were highlighted in July,

0:11:01 > 0:11:04when Gatwick Airport had to close when a drone was flown under

0:11:04 > 0:11:07a plane about to land.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10There have been near misses at Leeds Bradford, Cork

0:11:10 > 0:11:13and Manchester airports since 2015.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16And to prevent drones getting too close, the proposed Drone Bill

0:11:16 > 0:11:20could mean that owners of drones weighing more than 250 grams

0:11:20 > 0:11:24will need to register and do a test.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26They will be banned from flying near airports,

0:11:26 > 0:11:29or higher than 120 metres - or 400 feet.

0:11:29 > 0:11:34And police will get new powers to seize unmanned aerial vehicles.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40But drones have a growing list of useful applications.

0:11:40 > 0:11:45This prototype can fly into water and propel itself back out.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47These drones can be used on oil rigs to fix cables

0:11:47 > 0:11:51in treacherous conditions.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54And they are the types of uses that the Aviation Minister

0:11:54 > 0:11:56wants to encourage.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58We've looked at the drones today which can help

0:11:58 > 0:12:00in the construction industry, in the mining industry,

0:12:00 > 0:12:01an offshore oil rigs.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04And what's really exciting is that they can do the jobs that

0:12:04 > 0:12:07actually put people at risk, so hopefully it will help

0:12:07 > 0:12:09with safety as well.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12With the rising popularity of drones comes the issue of potential

0:12:12 > 0:12:16misuse by the public.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20This legislation could mean that new users won't be able to simply

0:12:20 > 0:12:22take it out of the box and start flying it straightaway.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Joe Lynam, BBC News.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, has put his clerical

0:12:27 > 0:12:30dog collar back on - ten years after saying he wouldn't

0:12:30 > 0:12:34wear one until Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe resigned.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43As far as I'm concerned, from now on, I am not going to wear a dog

0:12:43 > 0:12:45collar until he is gone.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47In 2007, the Archbishop, who was born in Uganda,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50dramatically cut up his old dog collar during a BBC interview.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52He's now put on a new one, saying Mugabe should apologise

0:12:52 > 0:12:55for taking a prosperous country to the brink of ruin.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57With all the sport here's Reshmin Chowdhury at

0:12:57 > 0:13:01the BBC Sport Centre.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04England are on the verge of defeat in the first Ashes' test

0:13:04 > 0:13:06after Australia dominated the fourth day in Brisbane.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08They need just 56 more runs to win.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Meanwhile, the ECB says it's spoken to England wicketkeeper

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Jonny Bairstow after claims of an alleged incident involving

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Australia's Cameron Bancroft during a night out earlier

0:13:14 > 0:13:15in the tour.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Andy Swiss has more.

0:13:18 > 0:13:25So, was this the day England's Ashes optimism faded? At first it was the

0:13:25 > 0:13:29batsmen that struggled. Captain Joe Root, gone before lunch. The rest

0:13:29 > 0:13:33soon followed. Moeen Ali, contentiously. Was he stumped?

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Anything behind the line and he was OK. It was agonisingly close. At an

0:13:38 > 0:13:45age, he was out. England didn't hang around. Australia left with a target

0:13:45 > 0:13:50of just 170. Led by David Warner, they ruthlessly set about the run

0:13:50 > 0:13:54chase. By the close, England's demoralised and all but defeated.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Very disappointed. I thought the first three days we played well and

0:13:57 > 0:14:06we were in the game. Today, we let ourselves down. With the bat

0:14:06 > 0:14:09especially, we never really got that big score we needed.Hours later,

0:14:09 > 0:14:15another problem. Claims Jonny Bairstow was involved in an incident

0:14:15 > 0:14:19in Perth four weeks ago while in the same bar as Australia's Bopanna

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Cameron Bancroft, also playing in this match. It is understood that

0:14:22 > 0:14:28their heads met at one point, although they both left amicably. In

0:14:28 > 0:14:31a statement, the England and Wales cricket board said there was no

0:14:31 > 0:14:35report of an incident from the venue, security or police and there

0:14:35 > 0:14:40was no injury reported. With the ongoing controversy surrounding Ben

0:14:40 > 0:14:46Stokes, it may raise more questions about teen culture. The ECB say they

0:14:46 > 0:14:48now understand the context of the incident and will follow up with

0:14:48 > 0:14:53management after this test. Both on and off the pitch, this is hardly

0:14:53 > 0:14:56the start of the Ashes they had hoped for.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59In Scotland, Celtic have won the Scottish League Cup,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01the first major trophy of the football season.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02They beat Motherwell 2-0 at Hampden Park,

0:15:02 > 0:15:05James Forrest with the opener and then a penalty as the visitors

0:15:05 > 0:15:11went down to ten men.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15It is a fourth consecutive domestic trophy for Celtic.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20Manchester City restored their 8-point lead at the top of the

0:15:20 > 0:15:22league after coming from behind to beat Huddersfield 2-1.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24But the game of day came at Southampton,

0:15:24 > 0:15:25who beat Everton 4-1.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Saints striker Charlie Austin with two on his first league

0:15:28 > 0:15:33start of the season.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Elsewhere, Arsenal beat Burnley with a late penalty to move to fourth

0:15:35 > 0:15:36place.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39It was a Mercedes one two at Formula 1's season ending

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Valterri Bottas, starting from the front of the grid,

0:15:42 > 0:15:43claimed his third victory of the year.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45World Champion Louis Hamilton finished second and Ferrari's

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Sebastian Vettel came third to secure runners up spot

0:15:47 > 0:15:49in the drivers' championship

0:15:49 > 0:15:56There's been more success for Britain's men's bobsleigh team

0:15:56 > 0:15:57on the World Cup circuit.

0:15:57 > 0:15:58After a bronze last weekend,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01there was a silver in the four man event at Whistler this
