0:00:07 > 0:00:10The growing divide between the UK and the Irish Republic over border

0:00:10 > 0:00:13arrangements after Brexit.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15The International Trade Secretary says arrangements can only be

0:00:15 > 0:00:18finalised during EU trade talks - Ireland says it could veto moving

0:00:18 > 0:00:24on to those without more progress on the border.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26With an EU deadline just over two weeks away,

0:00:26 > 0:00:29we'll be exploring how far apart the two sides are.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Also tonight: apart the two sides are.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Two teenagers are in custody after a car crash

0:00:34 > 0:00:39in Leeds killed five people, three of them children.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41New allegations in Iran against Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe -

0:00:41 > 0:00:49her husband says they will further prejudice her next trial.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52A special report from Lake Victoria - Africa's largest freshwater lake -

0:00:52 > 0:00:57which scientists say is slowly dying.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01And play begins shortly on the final day of the first Ashes' Test, but,

0:01:01 > 0:01:06after yesterday's disappointment, are England heading for defeat.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Divisions between the British and Irish Governments over how

0:01:26 > 0:01:31the Northern Ireland border works after Brexit deepened today.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, said final decisions

0:01:33 > 0:01:36could only be made once the UK knows what its future EU

0:01:36 > 0:01:39trade deal would be.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Ireland has however said it could veto moving on to those talks

0:01:42 > 0:01:45at the next EU summit in just over two weeks.

0:01:45 > 0:01:52Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler reports.

0:01:52 > 0:01:58Dodt along the Irish border, you will find old huts that were once

0:01:58 > 0:02:03customs posts. Places where people had to stop to show their papers.

0:02:03 > 0:02:08But that was a long time ago. A car's satellite navigation may tell

0:02:08 > 0:02:12you when you have crossed from Northern Ireland into the Republic.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16But there is little to show it. The Irish wants a guarantee that this

0:02:16 > 0:02:24land will remain open and the border invisible and it says unless it gets

0:02:24 > 0:02:29those assurances, it will block the next round of Brexit talks. But

0:02:29 > 0:02:34Britain said you can't talk of border without discussing trade.You

0:02:34 > 0:02:39can't get an answer until we get an idea of the end state and we get

0:02:39 > 0:02:43into the discussions with the EU, that will be difficult. The quicker

0:02:43 > 0:02:46we can do that the better. We are still in the position where the EU

0:02:46 > 0:02:51does not want to do that. We are getting close to 2018 when we will

0:02:51 > 0:02:56be talking about next year when we leave the EU.Here is the problem -

0:02:56 > 0:03:01the Brexit negotiations are still in their first phase and while the UK

0:03:01 > 0:03:06wants to move on, to talk about trading with the EU, Brussels says

0:03:06 > 0:03:12that will on the be possible once there is progress on three issues -

0:03:12 > 0:03:23how many the UK will pay as it leaves, citizens' rights and the

0:03:23 > 0:03:29border.I read a quote where Liam Fox has said that the border issue,

0:03:29 > 0:03:33the Irish issue will not be solved until the final stage and we reach a

0:03:33 > 0:03:38decision on trade. I hope the United Kingdom is not holing the Irish

0:03:38 > 0:03:42situation to ransom. It is too serious and too critical.The

0:03:42 > 0:03:46British Government has already made clear that it wants to leave the

0:03:46 > 0:03:53single market and the customs union. Which means after Brexit the UK's

0:03:53 > 0:03:56economy would be governed by different rules and could negotiate

0:03:56 > 0:03:59different trade deals. To ensure there is no hard border the Irish

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Government has suggested that Northern Ireland could remain in

0:04:02 > 0:04:09both. Unionists fear if Northern Ireland was to stay inside the

0:04:09 > 0:04:17customs union and the rest of the UK would leave, new checks would be

0:04:17 > 0:04:21needed for ships, effectively creating a border in the Irish Sea

0:04:21 > 0:04:25between two parts of United Kingdom and that could be unacceptable to

0:04:25 > 0:04:32the Democratic Unionist Party whose support the Conservatives rely on at

0:04:32 > 0:04:38Westminster.Our biggest market is GB and it will be madness and a

0:04:38 > 0:04:42dereliction of my duty if I didn't try to stop a border in the Irish

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Sea.But what will happen on land? In a place where political divides

0:04:47 > 0:04:52are much more obvious than the border.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54border.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Chris Mason is at Downing Street.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00We heard about the political divides in that report -

0:05:00 > 0:05:05how far apart are they really?

0:05:05 > 0:05:14This is a huge challenge, the frontier appears to be the most

0:05:14 > 0:05:18troublesome frontier between the Brexit talks stalling or

0:05:18 > 0:05:24progressing. For Ireland this matter, Ireland is hugely exposed by

0:05:24 > 0:05:29Brexit and now wields huge power. They have a veto and they can stop

0:05:29 > 0:05:33the talks progressing to the next stage. But will that happen? For the

0:05:33 > 0:05:40Prime Minister now, a couple of weeks of frantic diplomacy and

0:05:40 > 0:05:44telephone calls to European leaders and remember there doesn't have to

0:05:44 > 0:05:53be progress that makes sure that all of the issues are resolved. On the

0:05:53 > 0:05:56financial settle and the Irish border, they have to prove that

0:05:56 > 0:06:00sufficient progress has been made. That ill-defined hurdle set down by

0:06:00 > 0:06:04the European Union. It is a hurdle though that there is not much time

0:06:04 > 0:06:07to overcome.Thank you.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Police in Leeds are investigating the deaths of five people,

0:06:10 > 0:06:12including three children, who were killed when a stolen car

0:06:12 > 0:06:15crashed into a tree.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18BBC News understands that two of the victims were young brothers.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Two 15-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of causing

0:06:20 > 0:06:21death by dangerous driving.

0:06:21 > 0:06:28This report from Alison Freeman.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33The road was cordoned off all day after the crash, which police say

0:06:33 > 0:06:43them facing a scene of carnage. The stolen Renault Clio crashed into

0:06:43 > 0:06:51this tree. Five people died, one just 12. On social media, two of the

0:06:51 > 0:06:59victims were named as brothers. 14-year-old Elliot and Ellis.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Officers searched the area as they tried to establish the cause of what

0:07:03 > 0:07:08they have described as a tragic accident. People living in the area

0:07:08 > 0:07:12were understandably shocked.I looked out of the bedroom window and

0:07:12 > 0:07:19I saw the blue lights and that. It is horrible. It is scary being the

0:07:19 > 0:07:23end of street with me family here. It is not known if all those who

0:07:23 > 0:07:28died had been travelling in the car. After the cordon was lifted, people

0:07:28 > 0:07:33came to the scene to pay their respects. Some were clearly

0:07:33 > 0:07:39emotional as they laid flowers and tributes. Tonight around 60 adults

0:07:39 > 0:07:43and young people have gathered to hold a vigil for those who lost

0:07:43 > 0:07:46their lives here. Tomorrow, they will have many questions which will

0:07:46 > 0:07:54need to be answered about how this crash came to happen.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, has put his clerical

0:07:58 > 0:08:01collar back on nearly ten years after promising not to wear it

0:08:01 > 0:08:04until Robert Mugabe was no longer Zimbabwean president.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07In 2007, he cut up his dog collar during a live BBC interview,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10as a symbolic protest at Robert Mugabe's rule.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13He's now put on a new one, saying a reconciliation process

0:08:13 > 0:08:19was needed to heal Zimbabwe's divisions.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I will try and put them all together using superglue.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23It would be a pretty ropey colour.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27A ropey colour and I think the lesson for Zimbabwe

0:08:27 > 0:08:32is the same - they just can't try and stitch it up.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Something more radical, something new needs to

0:08:34 > 0:08:39happen in terms of the rule of law, allowing people to get jobs, because

0:08:39 > 0:08:4190% of people are out of work.

0:08:41 > 0:08:48So they can't just stitch it up.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50The husband of jailed British woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has

0:08:50 > 0:08:56accused Iranian media of prejudicing his wife's case.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's after Iranian state TV broadcast a programme showing

0:08:58 > 0:09:01pictures of a BBC pay stub and an e-mail, claiming she was

0:09:01 > 0:09:02working to train journalists.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Richard Lister reports.

0:09:06 > 0:09:12He is with me now. How much more do we know.Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

0:09:12 > 0:09:16was sentenced to five years in prison and she was told in October

0:09:16 > 0:09:24she is facing new charges of spreading propaganda in Iran. What

0:09:24 > 0:09:28was broadcast last night seems to suggest the authorities were

0:09:28 > 0:09:34preparing to take a hard line. The programme showed a BBC pay slip and

0:09:34 > 0:09:42an e-mail she had written involving training of BBC services. The BBC

0:09:42 > 0:09:51has never denied she was a BBC employee briefly. But she was never

0:09:51 > 0:09:57a journalist. The Foreign Office said it is disappointed by the

0:09:57 > 0:10:02incorrect reporting. It said she was in Iran on holiday. Her husband says

0:10:02 > 0:10:07it appears unlikely she will get a fair trial.Thank you.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Thank you.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12The Pope held a minute of silent prayer today for more than 300

0:10:12 > 0:10:14people killed in Friday's gun and bomb attack

0:10:14 > 0:10:17on a mosque in Egypt.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Officials believe up to 30 gunmen were involved in the attack

0:10:20 > 0:10:22and the targeting of a mosque during Friday prayers

0:10:22 > 0:10:23has shocked Egyptians.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25In Sinai, our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin has been

0:10:25 > 0:10:28hearing how some local people now want to take action themselves.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Trying to bring comfort after one of deadliest

0:10:30 > 0:10:37attacks anywhere in years.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Among the survivors the Imam, who was leading the prayers

0:10:39 > 0:10:46when terror came to the mosque in Sinai.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48As soon as people heard firing, they started

0:10:48 > 0:10:50running, he said.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Some climbed the pulpit, they were piling on top of

0:10:52 > 0:10:54each other.

0:10:54 > 0:11:00The attackers were shooting at anyone breathing.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02My friends lost their family, lost their cousins, their brothers,

0:11:02 > 0:11:09some of them lost their sons.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11This Sinai journalist is from the area where

0:11:11 > 0:11:13the attack took place.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16He said it is a turning the point for local tribes

0:11:16 > 0:11:21who have resolved to hunt the militants themselves.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23They had a meeting of their chiefs and tribe

0:11:23 > 0:11:29members yesterday.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Almost 400 people were in the meeting and they decided

0:11:32 > 0:11:35to carry arms and to find these people themselves and to take

0:11:35 > 0:11:43revenge from these groups.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45And here are the main suspects - militants

0:11:45 > 0:11:51from the Egyptian branch of so-called Islamic State.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Sinai's remote terrain and history of

0:11:52 > 0:11:58neglect mean there there is fertile ground for IS.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Now it has money, it has resources, it has weapons and it

0:12:01 > 0:12:03has recruits.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05And sadly and tragically, the Egyptian Government

0:12:05 > 0:12:09has basically used only military means against the Isis

0:12:09 > 0:12:14branch in North Sinai.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17What you need is to dislodge Isis from the social and

0:12:17 > 0:12:22economic and political grievances that exist in Sinai.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24For years now, Egypt has been relying on military

0:12:24 > 0:12:30solutions in Sinai.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33But it's hard to wage war when the enemy can melt away.

0:12:33 > 0:12:42Now, more than ever experts say it's time to change the battle plan.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Indonesia has put out a red alert to airlines,

0:12:44 > 0:12:48warning them of volcanic activity on the island of Bali.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Mount Agung has been spewing out smoke and volcanic ash thousands

0:12:51 > 0:12:54of metres into the sky and there are fears it could soon

0:12:54 > 0:13:02erupt for the first time in more than 50 years.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Owners of drones could have to register and take

0:13:04 > 0:13:07safety awareness tests as part of proposed new legislation.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Police will also be given new powers to crack down

0:13:09 > 0:13:10on criminal use of the devices.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13But as Joe Lynam reports the government is also keen

0:13:13 > 0:13:15to develop the technology.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19They could be one of the most coveted presents this Christmas.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Prices have come down and you can do a lot more with them.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25This potential customer says he would use one for aerial

0:13:25 > 0:13:28surveys and research.

0:13:28 > 0:13:37But he knows there needs to be more controls.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38It's all safety isn't it?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40We don't want drones crashing into planes and things like that.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Safety concerns surrounding drones were highlighted in July,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45when Gatwick Airport had to close when a drone was flown under

0:13:45 > 0:13:47a plane about to land.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49There have been near misses at Leeds Bradford, Cork

0:13:49 > 0:13:53and Manchester airports since 2015.

0:13:53 > 0:13:58And to prevent drones getting too close, the proposed Drone Bill

0:13:58 > 0:14:01could mean that owners of drones weighing more than 250 grams

0:14:01 > 0:14:03will need to register and do a test.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06They will be banned from flying near airports,

0:14:06 > 0:14:10or higher than 120 metres - or 400 feet.

0:14:10 > 0:14:16And police will get new powers to seize unmanned aerial vehicles.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21But drones have a growing list of useful applications.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24This prototype can fly into water and propel itself back out.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27These drones can be used on oil rigs to fix cables

0:14:27 > 0:14:31in treacherous conditions.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34And they are the types of uses that the Aviation Minister

0:14:34 > 0:14:35wants to encourage.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37We've looked at the drones today which can help

0:14:37 > 0:14:39in the construction industry, in the mining industry,

0:14:39 > 0:14:40an offshore oil rigs.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43And what's really exciting is that they can do the jobs that

0:14:43 > 0:14:46actually put people at risk, so hopefully it will help

0:14:46 > 0:14:50with safety as well.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52With the rising popularity of drones comes the issue of potential

0:14:52 > 0:14:54misuse by the public.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57This legislation could mean that new users won't be able to simply

0:14:57 > 0:15:00take it out of the box and start flying it straightaway.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05Joe Lynam, BBC News.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Lake Victoria - Africa's largest fresh water lake - is slowly dying -

0:15:08 > 0:15:10according to scientists.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Over fishing and pollution have severely damaged fish stocks,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15threatening the livelihoods of millions of fishermen.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20The Lake is surrounded by three countries -

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, from where the BBC's Komla Dumor

0:15:23 > 0:15:31award winner Amina Yuguda reports.

0:15:31 > 0:15:36For centuries Lake Victoria has provided nourishment for its people.

0:15:36 > 0:15:43This man has fished here for ten years. But the catch is now paltry.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48He shows me what he caught today. The catch of the fish is very

0:15:48 > 0:15:57little. Life is very hard. As well as it is about 10 kilograms, but in

0:15:57 > 0:16:06the day we used to five up to 500 kilograms.The fishermen have to go

0:16:06 > 0:16:12further and further to find any fish. He is one of hundreds of

0:16:12 > 0:16:17fishermen in this village. For him and others, the smaller catches mean

0:16:17 > 0:16:24they survive day-by-day, hand-to-mouth. Lake Victoria was

0:16:24 > 0:16:31called the Lake of Gods. The people believed its resources were endless.

0:16:31 > 0:16:39At the height of the boom, fishermen caught more than 36,000 tonnes. Last

0:16:39 > 0:16:50year it was less than half that at just over 17,000. Fishing is still a

0:16:50 > 0:16:58lifeline for Uganda. At the fish market most of the fish purchased is

0:16:58 > 0:17:04sent abroad. But the waters look odd. Algae has turned it green like

0:17:04 > 0:17:10pea soup. Levels can be 20 highers than it is safe for swimming or

0:17:10 > 0:17:16drinking. Scientists search for clues - testing the water every

0:17:16 > 0:17:26month.These blooms can be toxic and it reduces the amount of oxygen for

0:17:26 > 0:17:33fish. The lake is slowly dying.How desperate is the situation?We

0:17:33 > 0:17:40continue to pollute the lake through untreated waste water, for example,

0:17:40 > 0:17:44fertiliser being washed off from agricultural intersurprises. The

0:17:44 > 0:17:49other thing is the destruction of part of eco-system like the

0:17:49 > 0:17:56wetlands.The flower business is an alternative to fishing for some.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01Uganda has the perfect weather for roses. Large greenhouses dot the

0:18:01 > 0:18:09shores. But is it adding to the pollution?The water here is a bit

0:18:09 > 0:18:14dark. In the open water where we have been passing, it is a bit blue.

0:18:14 > 0:18:20The fishermen trying to protect wetlands talk us to see what they

0:18:20 > 0:18:25say is pollution.The pesticide can be coming back and be turned back to

0:18:25 > 0:18:33the lake. All the communities are surrounding this bay. The Ugandan

0:18:33 > 0:18:39Government is trying to save the lake. A special task force raids the

0:18:39 > 0:18:46villages to destroy illegal boats and nets.The military is carrying

0:18:46 > 0:18:51today controlling illegal fishing on the lake. Looking at illegal fish

0:18:51 > 0:18:58gears and methods.But these measures are yet to help fishermen.

0:18:58 > 0:19:07Today he has made just £2 to support his family.They only live on my

0:19:07 > 0:19:15power. I'm very scared of future. The sons remember the lake's last

0:19:15 > 0:19:21bounties. But more must be done to stem the decline or future

0:19:21 > 0:19:29generation will only hear tales of the once plentiful lake of the Gods.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30plentiful lake of the Gods.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32With all the sport, here's Reshmin Chowdhury

0:19:32 > 0:19:36at the BBC Sport Centre.
