0:01:03 > 0:01:06We can all as human beings imagine what it is like to be separated

0:01:08 > 0:01:18For no reason!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hello and welcome to World News Today.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30We begin in Pakistan - where the Government has called
0:01:30 > 0:01:33on the army to restore order, after large protests in Islamabad.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's after scenes like this - clashes between police and hardline
0:01:35 > 0:01:42Islamist protesters.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44The protestors want a Government minister to be sacked,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48they accuse him of blasphemy.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Well the violence has led to 200 people
0:01:53 > 0:01:57being injured at this key highway - called the Faizabad Interchange.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Security forces tried to break up a sit-in there -
0:02:01 > 0:02:04which has been going on for several weeks.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06The demonstrations have also spread to other cities
0:02:06 > 0:02:09including Lahore and Karachi.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15The violence poses a direct challenge
0:02:15 > 0:02:17to the governing party - the Pakistan Muslim League.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I've been getting the thoughts of the BBC's South Asia Regional
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Editor, Anbarasan Ethirajan.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31The Government allowed nearly three weeks before they sent in hundreds
0:02:31 > 0:02:35of police officers to clear these hundreds of protesters who are
0:02:35 > 0:02:39blocking a key highway going into the capital. People have been going
0:02:39 > 0:02:44through huge traffic jams. They are suffering a lot, and there is a lot
0:02:44 > 0:02:47of criticism of the Government in the last three weeks. When they
0:02:47 > 0:02:52finally decided to act, the court was acting them to act immediately,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56to remove these protesters, it was a little bit too late. The police had
0:02:56 > 0:03:05to retreat, and now they are asking for the military to help. Also, this
0:03:05 > 0:03:16is now spreading to other cities. Hundreds of people are protesting in
0:03:16 > 0:03:23Karachi and in Lahore.Tell us about these protesters? What do they want?
0:03:23 > 0:03:29The party was formed a you mugs ago. It was a hardline Islamists party.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34They started blocking this highway a three weeks ago, saying that they
0:03:34 > 0:03:38wanted the minister to be removed, because he was responsible for
0:03:38 > 0:03:44changes to the electoral vote, which gave prominence, which said that the
0:03:44 > 0:03:48last Prophet was Prophet Muhammad in Islam, because they thought they
0:03:48 > 0:03:54were trying to appease to the minority. So, they are asking for
0:03:54 > 0:03:57the sacking of the law minister, and the Government waited for nearly
0:03:57 > 0:04:02three weeks. What is important here is that Pakistan is going into
0:04:02 > 0:04:11election mode next year, and the Pakistani Muslim League is already
0:04:11 > 0:04:20lost its leader. It was disqualified in July for failing to... So, the
0:04:20 > 0:04:28party is going through a crisis, and now you have this hardline Islamist
0:04:28 > 0:04:32spreading to other parts of Karachi, and that is what they didn't want,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35but that is happening now.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38The authorities in Egypt say gunmen who attacked a mosque during Friday
0:04:38 > 0:04:40prayers killing more than 300 people, were carrying
0:04:40 > 0:04:44the flag of the so-called Islamic State group.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Up to 30 men surrounded the building, opening fire
0:04:46 > 0:04:56on worshippers including children.
0:04:56 > 0:05:06It happened in the town of Beer Al-Abud in Northern Sinai.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Bir Al Abud.In response, Egyptian forces have been
0:05:20 > 0:05:21carrying out air strikes
0:05:21 > 0:05:22on some militant targets.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Our Middle East correspondent Orla Guerin reports from Cairo.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Egyptian warplanes take to the skies to target militants in
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Northern Sinai.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31The army says this is a mission to avenge the martyrs.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32There has been no claim of responsibility,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but according to officials the attackers brandished flags of the
0:05:35 > 0:05:36so-called Islamic State.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38And here one of their many victims in the
0:05:38 > 0:05:39General Hospital in Ismailia.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40He is 13.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43He was shot twice in the hand and in the leg.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45He is not the only victim in his family.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47In the same ward, his 17-year-old cousin, also
0:05:47 > 0:05:55shot twice, once in the back.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57His mother is looking to God to punish
0:05:57 > 0:06:02those who brought such torment.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I hope their hearts will be burned just like ours, the women have all
0:06:06 > 0:06:07become widowed.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09There are no men left, they are all gone.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13They are all gone.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Then she leaned in to whispered she has been bereaved four
0:06:16 > 0:06:20times over.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Losing her husband, her oldest son, an uncle, and a cousin.
0:06:23 > 0:06:33She did not want her son to know the death toll.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39In another ward, we found doctors consoling another man
0:06:39 > 0:06:41who was praying with his extended family when the attackers struck.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44He lost two of his brothers and two of their children.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46There was shooting and people just started
0:06:46 > 0:06:48running, he told us, some jumped out the window,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50God saved some of us, but others lost their lives.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56Among the visitors today, a local leader
0:06:56 > 0:06:58of the Coptic Church, Christians are regular targets
0:06:58 > 0:07:03in their places of worship.
0:07:03 > 0:07:10Now Muslims have joined them.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13More than 40 survivors of the attack were brought to this hospital.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15The death toll is continuing to climb.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Five of those who came here have already lost
0:07:17 > 0:07:19their lives.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Well-wishers and relatives are coming and going to try and
0:07:21 > 0:07:23offer support, and across the country Egyptians are struggling to
0:07:23 > 0:07:25come to terms with this attack.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28There is a grief across the country as the dead are laid to rest.
0:07:28 > 0:07:36The village of Bir al-Abed, the scene of
0:07:36 > 0:07:38the attack, has lost a quarter of its men.
0:07:38 > 0:07:48Tonight, hundreds of families are in mourning.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Earlier political analyst, Magdi Abdelhadi joined me in the studio.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55He told me the Egyptian security forces have a lot
0:07:55 > 0:08:03of work to do to improve.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09It unprecedented, as was just said in that report, judges have been
0:08:09 > 0:08:13attacked before, and there are police guards outside most churches
0:08:13 > 0:08:18in the urban centres in Egypt, but masks have never been the target of
0:08:18 > 0:08:24attack. Whether this is the beginning of a trend, that would be
0:08:24 > 0:08:28extremely worrying, because the countries through a stomach full of
0:08:28 > 0:08:34mosques. No state can itself against this type of terrorism. Some would
0:08:34 > 0:08:38say that this is a failure of intelligence, why couldn't they
0:08:38 > 0:08:42register that this was somehow going to happen? However, because it is
0:08:42 > 0:08:46such a break from the pattern of militancy in Egypt before, one could
0:08:46 > 0:08:49argue that it was very difficult for them to predict that this would
0:08:49 > 0:08:57happen. Some suggest, that locals in this particular village have felt
0:08:57 > 0:09:05that there was something coming, and they aborted it to police --
0:09:05 > 0:09:10reported it to believe, but they were ignored. It is the question is
0:09:10 > 0:09:13whether the authorities have the right approach, because it is
0:09:13 > 0:09:20happening at regular intervals. Immediately after, they launched air
0:09:20 > 0:09:25raids, and their use heavy weaponry, as many are asking, is this the
0:09:25 > 0:09:31right approach? Is this the way to fight this kind of militancy. You
0:09:31 > 0:09:37really need insert. That debate is happening in Egypt and outside. What
0:09:37 > 0:09:42is missing in this debate, not so much in Egypt, but on the
0:09:42 > 0:09:45international scene, is the role of the narrative, the ideology that
0:09:45 > 0:09:50justify this kind of behaviour, which is the right across the Muslim
0:09:50 > 0:09:58world and in western capitals. What tells young Muslims that it is
0:09:58 > 0:10:04morally justifiable to kill innocent people in Egypt, in London, in Iraq,
0:10:04 > 0:10:09in the United States, it is that narrative, a narrative of religious
0:10:09 > 0:10:15supremacy, that if you do so, you will somehow be rewarded by going to
0:10:15 > 0:10:20heaven, to paradise. That's narrative is challenged...You've
0:10:20 > 0:10:27talked about that narrative, what do you make of Egypt's response to the
0:10:27 > 0:10:32militancy in the country. Do you think it needs the help of the
0:10:32 > 0:10:35International committee?Egypt of course need any help it could get,
0:10:35 > 0:10:40but Egypt's has a strong central state relatively speaking, if you
0:10:40 > 0:10:47compare it to Syria, or Iraq or Libya. The leader has experience, he
0:10:47 > 0:10:51has dealt with Islamic militancy, before. But, because it is an
0:10:51 > 0:10:55ongoing issue in Egypt, and across the Muslim world, unless you act
0:10:55 > 0:11:00league challenge and debunk and deconstruct the religious narrative
0:11:00 > 0:11:09that draws upon the text of Islam to justify violence by killing innocent
0:11:09 > 0:11:12people, Muslims or unbelievers, and think you will be rewarding for
0:11:12 > 0:11:15that, unless you challenge that's narrative, I think we are going to
0:11:15 > 0:11:30live with that problem. Time.-- for some time.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36The actress, Emma Thompson, has led a march in north London,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38to support the British-Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41who's been jailed in Iran, accused of trying to overthrow the state.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Those taking part have signed a letter urging
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Iran's Supreme Leader to release her.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Alice Hutton reports.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's favourite song, imprisoned in Iran
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and unable to sing it with her own young
0:11:53 > 0:11:54daughter, 200 members of her
0:11:54 > 0:11:57community in London came out today to form a protest.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59They were joined by local mum and Oscar-winning actress
0:11:59 > 0:12:09Emma Thompson, who braved pneumonia to lend her voice to the protests.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14This is our community and one of her community has been imprisoned
0:12:14 > 0:12:20without trial, has been separated from her child more or less for
0:12:21 > 0:12:2219 months.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23The situation is desperate.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I'm not supposed to be out at all, but I said to my doctor, "Well,
0:12:26 > 0:12:36I can't not come to speak, because I am free."
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Together, they marched to the nearby Islamic Centre of England to
0:12:38 > 0:12:45deliver a letter addressed to the Supreme Leader of Iran,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46calling for Nazanin's release.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Really pleased with that, thank you to our Muslim
0:12:48 > 0:12:49friends in the Islamic Centre.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51One person who did hear the voices was
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Nazanin herself.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54She rang from prison in Iran to thank them for
0:12:54 > 0:12:59their support, especially her husband, Richard.
0:12:59 > 0:13:08Thank you so much.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I am so grateful.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I don't think I deserve it, to be honest.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13It is amazing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Thank you for all your support.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Thank you everyone from the bottom and top of my heart, I really
0:13:17 > 0:13:18feel the love.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Nazanin can feel loved, that is the most important
0:13:21 > 0:13:22thing, that's what keeps us going.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27With fresh charges and the new court date next month, this is a time of
0:13:27 > 0:13:30great anxiety for the Ratcliffe family.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36Today was all about local support and showing that Nazanin
0:13:36 > 0:13:38might have dual British-Iranian citizenship, but it is this
0:13:38 > 0:13:48that she calls home.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news:
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The Libyan coast guard says more than 30 migrants died
0:13:53 > 0:13:56when their boat sank near Garabulli, east of the capital, Tripoli.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58They say they rescued about 60 people who were clinging
0:13:58 > 0:14:01to the remains of the vessel.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Bangladesh says Rohingya Muslim refugees who go back to Myanmar
0:14:04 > 0:14:06will initially have to live in temporary camps,
0:14:06 > 0:14:11because most of their villages have been burnt down.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The arrangement will cause concern in the UN, which has already warned
0:14:14 > 0:14:16of the dangers of returning the Rohingya to
0:14:16 > 0:14:17"confinement and ghettos".
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Bangladesh's Foreign Minister says aid agencies will be involved
0:14:20 > 0:14:29in the repatriation process.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come:
0:14:33 > 0:14:36All the sport news - including, Lionel Messi ends
0:14:36 > 0:14:37months of speculation - he extends his contract
0:14:38 > 0:14:47with Barcelona.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04He caught the imagination of the world. The first of a new generation
0:15:04 > 0:15:11of leaders. The prime there is resigning before leaving number ten.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16He told her cabinets, if they find the old world.
0:16:09 > 0:16:16Violent clashes in the Pakistan capital. As Egypt buries victims of
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Friday's mosque attack, investigators say that the attackers
0:16:21 > 0:16:28were carrying the flag of the so-called Islamic State.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Time Magazine is disputing US President Donald Trump's account
0:16:31 > 0:16:33of how he rejected a request for an interview and photo
0:16:33 > 0:16:35shoot ahead of its Person of the Year issue.
0:16:35 > 0:16:45On Friday, Mr Trump tweeted that Time had called to say
0:16:48 > 0:16:50he was "probably" going to be named Person of the Year.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53He said 'probably was no good' and that he 'took a pass.'
0:16:53 > 0:16:56But Time later said the president was incorrect about how
0:16:56 > 0:16:57it makes its choice.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58The magazine tweeted: 'TIME does not comment
0:16:58 > 0:17:02on our choice until publication, which is December 6.'
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Jeff Mason is the White House Correspondent for Reuters
0:17:04 > 0:17:10and joins me now from Washington.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Thanks for being with us. What do you make of this row, who do you
0:17:13 > 0:17:20think is telling the truth? Well, it's hard to weigh in on who is
0:17:20 > 0:17:27telling the truth, particularly because TIME has not given any of
0:17:27 > 0:17:32the details. Adding we can look at the way that Trump has treated, and
0:17:32 > 0:17:38in this particular case, it seemed that he was upset. They had not said
0:17:38 > 0:17:45that he was definitely Person Of The Year. This is a president who very
0:17:45 > 0:17:48publicly does not like dealing with light, and whether that be a slight
0:17:48 > 0:17:56from a magazine, or a slight from a world leader, if he feels it is
0:17:56 > 0:18:03negative, he fights back. That is what he has done here. Timer will
0:18:03 > 0:18:09name their personal year on the 6th of December, what does it mean...
0:18:09 > 0:18:13There have been previous presidents who have won it, what does it mean
0:18:13 > 0:18:17to win its?I think it is a high honour, and is an important
0:18:17 > 0:18:20designation, and there have been world leaders, and important public
0:18:20 > 0:18:24figures, who have got that over the years. That said, it is just a
0:18:24 > 0:18:31magazine. We not talking about the Nobel peace prize. It's important,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35but perhaps, the president is giving a little bit more weight to it than
0:18:35 > 0:18:39some others would. That said, he does give a lot of weight to it. He
0:18:39 > 0:18:42does like having the attention that comes with something like a
0:18:42 > 0:18:49designation of Person Of The Year. If you feel that there is a question
0:18:49 > 0:18:53about that, you will make those feelings known.Indeed, he did win
0:18:53 > 0:19:00it last year. He was on the cover last year. What did you make of it
0:19:00 > 0:19:04then?I think he was very pleased. He made a big deal of it then, I do
0:19:04 > 0:19:09think he probably would have made a big deal of it again, this year, if
0:19:09 > 0:19:14it had happened again. I think it is important to note that getting the
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Person Of The Year it's not necessarily a high honour. There are
0:19:18 > 0:19:27people in that list to have become part of that Liz -- not necessarily
0:19:27 > 0:19:33for good reasons. That said, perhaps being the most influence a person,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and there is no doubt that he has been influential, both in the United
0:19:36 > 0:19:44States and globally.President Trump does like to paint himself as an
0:19:44 > 0:19:53antiestablishment figure. Does this have anything to do with a rejection
0:19:53 > 0:19:56of that?I don't know. That's a good question. I think it is a piece of
0:19:56 > 0:20:03two years and how he acts. I think he uses Twitter to go after
0:20:03 > 0:20:09organisations, to go after people, to go after leaders. He had become,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12because of his Twitter use, really be most transparent resident of the
0:20:12 > 0:20:19United States in modern history. We always know what you're thinking, so
0:20:19 > 0:20:24whether that is strategic, or whether it is a venting process for
0:20:24 > 0:20:28him. Sometimes I think it is a bit of both, it is integral to his ears.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43warning that it could limit their access to the UK markets.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's been suggested that Britain and the EU should split existing

0:24:48 > 0:24:50that can be imported without incurring full tariffs.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53How things are at the moment is there are tariffs on imports coming
0:24:53 > 0:24:55in from countries like the US, India, Canada,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56China, which are outside the EU.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59The charge in effect is to stop countries importing goods too

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Some goods, such as lamb from New Zealand, gets a

0:25:10 > 0:25:13The plan is for when we leave the EU for that to
0:25:13 > 0:25:17continue, but the quotas will be divided.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22With the example of lamb, 60% will go to other EU countries,
0:25:22 > 0:25:3040% will come to the UK as it does just now, we will carry on as
0:25:30 > 0:25:32normal and everyone will be happy, except they're not.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34The countries importing those goods say this is a
0:25:34 > 0:25:37chance for us to import more to the UK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Should the market in the rest of Europe fall away, it will be
0:25:40 > 0:25:43affected for any reason, we are not getting the flexibility and the room
0:25:43 > 0:25:53to do that, we shouldn't have to have this.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58And plenty more Brexit.
