hello, this is breakfast, naga munchetty and charlie stayt. egypt strikes back after the deadliest terror attack in the country's recent history. at least 300 people were killed at the mosque in north sinai — the military say they've carried out air strikes on those behind the killings. good morning, it's saturday 25th november. also this morning. photographs are issued of two men police want to speak to after an altercation on a tube platform sparked panic in central london. a rise in vandalism on cars in england and wales — the rac says its latest figures could be just the tip of the iceberg. in sport, they nearly threw it away, but england are through to the rugby league world cup final. they breathe a huge sigh of relief after surviving a tonga fightback, in auckland to reach their first final in 22 years. as analysts predict record spending on black friday — we hear the thoughts of some keen bargain hunters.

i have ended up buying a television, headphones, clothes, chile, all sorts of things. and ben has the weekend weather. good morning. a cold, frosty — and in places — icy start, but the reward will be some crisp, autumn sunshine. some wintry showers as well. all the weekend weather details coming up. good morning. first, our main story. egypt's military says it carried out air strikes on those behind the deadliest islamist terror attack in the country's recent history. at least 300 people were killed and more than 100 injured after gunmen detonated a bomb and stormed a packed mosque in north sinai yesterday. egypt's air force says it has destroyed vehicles used by the militants, as well as weapons and ammunition at what it described as "terrorist locations". 0ur correspondent sally nabil is in cairo. do we know any more about who carried out the attack? the latest we have is that the death

toll has risen to 300, according to medical sources in northern sinai. they told us they have issued 300 death certificates overnight, and this was kind of expected, because many of those wounded were in a critical condition. people on social media have been describing yesterday's attack as a genocide, given the fact that around 10% of the population of the village where the population of the village where the attack happened is gone. some people have been talking on social media, saying that we lost all families here. one person said that four of his cousins were killed. and there are different explanations or interpretations about why this mosque was targeted. some people say that the mosque was located in an area that was inhabited by a tribe, which is known for supporting the army in providing the army with

intelligence and information, and the militants have repeatedly vowed to retaliate and chase everybody who tries to give a hand to the army. 0n the other hand, some people are saying the mosque is east of the mosque and it is a form of mystical islam, and the militants have repeatedly threatened those muslims, saying they are heretics. there are different explanations why the attack happened, but so far, no one has claimed responsibility. what more do we know about the egyptian authorities‘ response? more do we know about the egyptian authorities' response? the egyptian president vowed to retaliate against the militants. air strikes were launched overnight, but we do not know with any extra security measures will be put in place, but some people have been questioning the effectiveness of the security operations overall, because attacks keep happening every now and then and their skill is massive. sadly,

for the moment, thank you. ——sally, for the moment, thank you. police have released cctv images of two men they want to speak to after panic broke out on the streets of london yesterday afternoon, injuring 16 people. armed officers were called following reports of gunfire at oxford circus tube station. but investigators now say there is no evidence weapons had been fired. 0ur reporter andy moore is in central london for us now. there was a lot of confusion, which is what cause these injuries. yes, there certainly was a lot of panic, and some witnesses talk about the stampede as people were trying to leave the tube station behind me. all this happened at 37 minutes past four years today, just about the busiest time on one of the busiest days of the year. police scotland double reports of what people thought were gunfire, and police treated at as a terrorist incident. british transport police tried to get to the bottom of it. they have

released these images of men involved in what some eyewitness is called a fight. police want to trace these men to find out what they know. with me is a representative from an organisation that represents west end businesses. do you think about the way police handled this alert? first of all, we are pleased it was a false alert and we must commend the police and the businesses who develop rapid response, well rehearsed plans are put in place. but then an hour, the situation was under control, and businesses work getting into the evening and open today. i really commend the response of the emergency services and the police. it was very busy, the shots were doing well. have a lot a lot of business? have they been hit financially? it was a busy day, it was black friday, and there were a lot of deals. some stores still

opens and some are closed. but we still have the weekend, there are a lot of deals in place and appropriate security is in place for out appropriate security is in place for our customers appropriate security is in place for our customers and our appropriate security is in place for our customers and our staff. do you have any idea about how we can stop the hysteria and panic spreading when it is a false alarm? there are some lessons we can learn. there is sometimes a heightened sense of security. a lot of social media out there, false information being spread. we need to look at how information is being cascaded. 0ur priority is our customers and staff and the security we have in place to protect them. 16 people were u nfortu nately protect them. 16 people were unfortunately injured in that incident yesterday, seven treated here into starched, eight is taken to hospital with minor injuries, one person with more serious leg injuries. thank you. this afternoon, the dup leader arlene foster will address her party's conference in belfast, despite there still being no government in northern ireland. aside from domestic issues,

politicians in both the uk and the republic of ireland will be waiting to hear how she addresses the brexit negotiations. 0ur ireland correspondent chris buckler reports. at stormont, parliament's buildings lies empty. there hasn't been a government here since the start of the year and that's causing much concern, along with brexit. no—one who lives along the irish border is entirely sure what will happen to the scores of open roads that connect northern ireland and the republic. the democratic unionist party still have political influence because a conservative government need their support in crucial votes at westminster. but to get back into power at stormont they need to do a deal with sinn fein and that's not looking likely. we want a devolved government back and we're up for trying to find a way through all of this but it has to be sensible and it has to be balanced between unionism and nationalism, we can't have a situation where one community feels they haven't been respected. last yea r‘s party conference was an upbeat affair.

then arlene foster was first minister and in her speech she boasted of how times have changed since northern ireland was a byword for political crisis. when she gives her conference speech today, she'll be very aware that stormont and instability are once again closely linked in people's minds. chris buckler, bbc news, belfast. there's no clear link between the number of prison suicides and overcrowding, a new international study suggests. packed prison cells have traditionally been thought of as a highly significant factor. however, the research published in the lancet psychiatryjournal did conclude that suicides could be cut by sending fewer people with mental illnesses to prison. glasgow airport was closed temporarily last night after a tug vehicle hit a passenger plane which was preparing for take—off. flights were delayed and diverted after the runway froze in bitterly cold temperatures. it's thought the tug may have skidded on ice as the plane was pushed back from the stand. no—one was injured and the airport has now reopened.

the president of argentina, mauricio makri, has ordered an inquiry into what happened to a navy submarine that disappeared more than a week ago. hopes have faded of finding any of the 44 people onboard alive, after the argentine navy said an event "consistent with an explosion" was detected near the submarine's last—known location. car vandalism in england and wales hasjumped by 10 % in three years. 210,000 vehicles suffered criminal damage such as smashed windows and slashed tyres in 2016, according to data obtained by rac insurance. it's believed that the figures could be even higher — many motorists don't report incidents because they fear it would push their insurance premiums up. sightseers on a london tour bus have shared their journey with an unexpected stowaway.

this fox is believed to have boarded the double—decker in a depot before riding it all the way to the centre of the capital, taking in all the sights on the way. it sat on the top deck unnoticed, until the bus reached park lane, where it was safely removed and taken back to its den. those are the main stories this morning. the campaign to free the british iranian woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who has been in prison in iran for nearly 19 months is intensifying, with actor emma thompson the latest to lend her support. she will lead a march of families from mrs ratcliffe's neighbourhood in north west london urging iran's leader to release the mother of one. we can speak now to rebecca ratcliffe, nazanin‘s sister—in—law, ahead of that march. good morning, thank you for your time this morning. tell us a little about what happening today. today, we have lots of mums, dads, families

from the local community and friends of the campaign coming down to west hampstead to support nazanin. we have a letter that some of the local mums have written to the supreme leader of the iranians church, and it's asking for him to use his influence to hopefully arrange for her release on humanitarian grounds. we are coming together, we will have a feud speeches, with the mp and empire thompson. we will then take a march and just a couple others will deliver the letter hopefully to the islamic centre of england, where they have the representative. what is the latest euro healing as to how nazanin is? she is in quite a bad way again. there has been a lot of media attention about nazanin over the last couple of weeks due to the foreign secretary's comments and u nfortu nately, foreign secretary's comments and unfortunately, that has heightened up unfortunately, that has heightened up in iran. a lot of stuff on

iranian state tv. there's a lot of propaganda about her, she is seeing her pictures all the time, so he/she is struggling again now. very emotional, really feeling like she is on the edge again. a bit like they were this time last year. it's so they were this time last year. it's so important now to show that people around the world really care for her. we spoke to her husband not so long ago on this programme. in terms of communication, has she been able to speak to family recently? she has certainly managed to speak to richard a couple of times and she spoke to my mum on saturday morning. communication, she's getting a couple of calls a week, but she's so emotional now, there are a lot more tv than they were. she's just desperate to come home now and this new court case coming up desperate to come home now and this new court case coming up on desperate to come home now and this new court case coming up on the tenth is really affecting her spirits. you mentioned in the past fortnight, there has been a lot more

media attention has been for some time. her husband thought that was a good thing and at that point, he was hoping to hearfrom borisjohnson. there have been one of two developments since then. do you think something has changed in the atmosphere around her situation? definitely, the atmosphere has changed. there seems to be a lot more support within britain for her. it seems to be more of a priority for the government to try and arrange her release than it has been. iran are retaliating slightly. there's a lot more in their media against her. so it's definitely heightened the campaign. difficult to know how it is going to pan out. ijust hope to know how it is going to pan out. i just hope the to know how it is going to pan out. ijust hope the foreign secretary can go and visit soon. the eventual involved in today, on one side, you mention the diplomatic moves that may or may not be going on behind the scenes, but your event today is more personal. absolutely, today is

a personal thing, it's about the family and the community in west hampstead, which she will come back to. it is about as showing that we all miss nazanin, we believe in her and she should be home with us. thank you for your time this morning. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. is going to be chilly this weekend? yes, and for some, the first nor the season. yes, and for some, the first nor the season. we have seen wintry showers through the night, some snow showers in places. more widely, scenes like this. down below freezing in quite a few places. eight cold and windy day to come, with a mixture of sunshine and showers. this is the radar

picture, which shows where rain and snow has already fallen. where we have had the showers overnight, there is the risk of some icy stretches. if you wrote about on the roads, bear that in mind stretches. if you wrote about on the roads, bearthat in mind in stretches. if you wrote about on the roads, bear that in mind in western scotla nd roads, bear that in mind in western scotland and northern ireland. still a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. eastern and north—eastern england, dry. the snow mostly over high ground, but if you catch a heavy shower, that snow could temporarily come down to low levels. some showers into the south west. 0ver high ground here, some of those have been wintry. as we go through the day, most of the snow will become confined to the hills and at low levels, the showers will mostly follows rain. perhaps hill and thunder mixed in. more persistent sleet and snow in scotland. eastern

england not seeing many showers are told. mainly dry with sunshine, but wherever you are, it will be cold. and windy in the far north, where there will be gales. this evening and tonight, wintry showers continuing to feed on. a little bit windier than it was last night, so maybe not quite as cold, but i still think we'll see a fairly widespread frost diggers into tomorrow morning. tomorrow, initially, moored at the same. still some showers into the west. the showers will tend to fade asa west. the showers will tend to fade as a day goes on, but only because we'll have cloud approaching through the afternoon, and persistent rain in northern ireland. for most, it is another cold day, but hints of something a little milder creeping into the west. that is a temporary change. as we bring this band of rain through sunday night into monday, we will see something a little bit milder. monday in self will have a lot of cloud. still some

rain to clear away from the south, but anything milder will not last long, as we get into the latter part of monday and into tuesday. will be back into the cold air and that looks at being with us through the week. there will be crisp, autumn sunshine and there will be showers, and some of those showers could contain some snow. in a word, it is cold. it feels like winter, the winner officially not in it. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's time now for a look at the newspapers. former fa chief david davies is here to tell us what's caught his eye. have you been watching the sport this weekend? i know what you're talking about, you are going to talk about kenny dalglish, who i am honoured to say as a friend of mine. he was here yesterday. he was great

fun, i remember the he was here yesterday. he was great fun, i rememberthe comment he was here yesterday. he was great fun, i remember the comment about why george best wasn't a manager. you are in the film, in the archive interview. a little more hair. i did the first television interview with kenny dalglish, when he came from celtic to liverpool. in the boardroom at anfield. and i have never forgotten it. he boardroom at anfield. and i have neverforgotten it. he needed actually subtitles at that stage, i used to think, a little. perhaps he agrees. you asked him about graeme souness saying he was awkward, that's one word, i suppose, but i found him a terrific guy. his family we re found him a terrific guy. his family were wonderful. the film does very much reflect that. anyway, we didn't come here to talk about that. we'll take a look at the front pages first. the times as we on a revolt over defence cuts and seeing a defence minister may resign up

proposals that could see military troops reduced to below 70,000. some of the others focusing in on black friday. talking about the retail figures. black friday. talking about the retailfigures. the daily express focusing on the weather getting very nippy out there. the telegraph is focusing on the story that one in five women will mother be a mother, a focus on how people's attitude to give to do is changing. let's see that the robots. they are an easily abused species, but they can save lives, as the daily mail and i2 other papers tell us today. this one at university college london, the hospital there, these robots are literally saving up to 500, there

are treating 500 patients in recent times. the robot controlled by a doctor, is that right? absolutely. but the word to look for here is precision. the robot can be very much more precise, and the side—effects, that any damage to residual tissue is far less. without becoming gaudy, it's controlled by the surgeon, he or she is at the computer console. the robot has six arms with tiny scissors and pliers, so arms with tiny scissors and pliers, so they can make the incisions, so you don't need open surgery, so less concern about infection and scarred damage. prostate cancer, 47,000 cases a year, that is extraordinary. the next story is from the garden. these deadlines come and go in relation to brexit negotiations. there's one big one, which we'll

know about. perhaps the robot would be helpful to my namesake and perhaps theresa may in brussels. how to avoid the hard border is the big issue. in the middle of this story, there is a paragraph with a key dinner between theresa may and the european commission president my scheduled for the 4th of december. the dinners with him are an absolute fundamental part of this negotiation. i seem to remember the first one downing st was a disaster last summer, when someone leaked that it hadn't fun and frolics in there. the other thing that strikes me with all this is that all these deadlines, as everybody in this country quite realise the difficulty? 0n the one side of the fence, you have one country, us, and

on the other side of the fence, you have 26, with 26 parliaments. and meeting with those parliaments to agree to any deal ultimately is going to be hugely time—consuming business. it is about moving onto the next age, so is a meeting about a meeting. 26 countries will have to agree to the moving on, that's the thing. it is complicated. it is. sporty theme. the daily telegraph, more physical exercise would improve children's's brain powered as well as their physical fitness.|j children's's brain powered as well as their physical fitness. i am proud to be a governor of the university of birmingham secondary school, and this whole debate of the value of physical exercise and the character of education, in the time we have all this academic curriculum and how we fit everything into a school day, we have this debate quite a lot. i don't know what you

we re quite a lot. i don't know what you were like at pe, i hated it. i liked exercise and sport, i hated the traditional pe lessons. i rubber man bounces over box landers badly. i think it's changed a bit. not in every school, i promise you. would that it had. the point of this is these researchers in spain, i think, have found a definite link between exercise, or in this case physical education, and brainpower, grey matter, is the term. it seems obvious, doesn't it? does it? i think the healthier you feel, the easier your mind will assess things. you must have known at school, i certainly did, people who hated pe, hated sport. those pupils still

exist. what do you do for them? that is the big question. it's about how good the pe classes are, is being inventive. that's a good debate, but there are wonderful teachers. on the sporting theme, can you explain this? it's golf. as a golf widow myself, basically, the problem is that golfers are getting too good at hitting the ball and full on distance, and —— hitting the ball and awful long distance. the question is, is it making the game less attractive? that is an argument over whether or not people are getting better at hitting the ball of whether the design of the ball means it goes so much further. of whether the design of the ball means it goes so much furtherlj understand that, but the other side of the argument is you should have

narrower fairways and then you have to be more skilful to make sure it gets there. have they made the bold heavier? can they make them happier? how technology can help that is what people on both sides of the atlantic are looking at. you only golf widow? because you refuse to take it up? or you are not as good as your wife? how would my wife answer that question? time pressures. i am delighted my wife has found golf. she could be described as a fanatic. we will talk more in the next hour. thank you very much for now. british explorer ben saunders is aiming to complete a world—first — a solo and unaided crossing of antarctica. he is following in the footsteps of his friend henry worsley, who died making the attempt last year. ben started from berkner island on the 8th november and has

travelled around 180 miles. he is about a quarter of the way to the south pole, but still has 840 miles to go before he reaches his journey‘s end at the ross ice shelf. well, we arejoined on the phone by ben. then, how are you? very well, thank you. i was laughing at the link between exercise and brainpower. i should breathe very clever by the end of this trip. it's a very physical expedition, how is it taking its toll on you? not bad. i'm doing about nine or ten hours of skiing per day. i'm currently lying in my bed in my sleeping bag, so that's the easy bit. but after we've spoken, i will have to take the tent down and cover more distance today. it's going well so far. paint a picture of is for anyone who is finding it hard to imagine what it's like they're in terms of temperature and how you getting about. we've

seen a picture of you what looks like a canoe on the ice, and a very wrapped up. yes, i'm travelling on wearing skis. the skis have skins on them, which strips of fabric that give me traction on the ice. i am pulling a sled, which doesn't that the boat. that's on runners. it contains everything you need for just over two months on the eyes. that was 130 kilos, a lot heavier than i am. i'm dragging it at the moment for about nine hours a day. it is pretty cold, today in the minus 20s. the wind—chill has been -40 minus 20s. the wind—chill has been —40 some days. it is very, very cold, you can't have any skin exposed you have to be very careful about fingers and toes and keeping your phase one. i've been travelling

through the mountains, since been beautiful, but i'm expecting a few days of white blankness. i expect to get there just before christmas. you doing this in memory of your friend henry. absolutely. he came very close to finishing his journey. he was doing it for a charity, so i'm raising money for that and you can donate as well. thanks for using your satellite phone time, and we wish you well, so do is stay in touch. thank you very much. it's worth thinking about how lucky

we are. —20, was the wind—chill of minus 40. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before nine, we'll have the full weekend weather forecast. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. egypt's military says it carried out air strikes on those behind the deadliest islamist terror attack in the country's recent history. at least 300 people were killed, including 30 children, and more than 100 injured after gunmen detonated a bomb and stormed a packed mosque in north sinai yesterday. egypt's air force says it has destroyed vehicles used by the militants, as well as weapons and ammunition at what it described as terrorist locations. countries around the world have paid respects to the victims of the attack. in paris the eiffel tower switched off some of its lights in tribute to those affected in egypt.

police have released cctv images of two men they want to speak to after panic broke out on the streets of london yesterday afternoon, injuring 16 people. armed officers were called following reports of gunfire at oxford circus tube station. but investigators now say there is no evidence weapons had been fired. they are appealing to speak to these two men in connection with the incident. the dup leader arlene foster will address her party's annual conference in belfast later today, and focus on the party's influence in westminster. mrs foster will also reaffirm the dup's commitment to restore a power—sharing agreement at stormont, and will be watched closely for thoughts on brexit and the question of the irish border. the democratic unionists unexpectedly gained a prominent seat at the negotiation table after agreeing to prop up theresa may's minority government. actress emma thompson is the latest high profile celebrity to back the campaign to free the british iranian woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who has been in prison in iran for nearly 19 months. she will lead a march of families from mrs ratcliffe's neighbourhood in north west london urging iran's leader to reunite nazanin with her husband

and three—year—old daughter gabriella. todayis today is a personal thing. today is a personalthing. it's up well the family and the community in west ha m pstead. well the family and the community in west hampstead. it's about as showing that we miss nazanin, we believe in her and she should be home with us. there's no clear link between the number of prison suicides and overcrowding, a new international study suggests. packed prison cells have traditionally been thought of as a highly significant factor. however, the research published in the lancet psychiatryjournal did conclude that suicides could be cut by sending fewer people with mental illnesses to prison. the president of argentina, mauricio makri, has ordered an inquiry into what happened to a navy submarine that disappeared more than a week ago.

hopes have faded of finding any of the 44 people onboard alive, after the argentine navy said an event "consistent with an explosion" was detected near the submarine's last—known location. car vandalism in england and wales hasjumped by 10 % in three years. 210—thousand vehicles suffered criminal damage such as smashed windows and slashed tyres in 2016, according to data obtained by rac insurance. it's believed that the figures could be even higher — many motorists don't report incidents because they fear it would push their insurance premiums up. he's been called the real—life iron man and has blasted into the record books with his self—built jet engine power suit. richard browning set a guinness world record last month for flying in the suit and was showing it off here at media city in salford yesterday. browning spent 40—thousand pounds building thejet pack, browning spent £40,000 building thejet pack, and it hits speeds of 32 miles per hour. he hopes to inspire students to follow a career in engineering. those are the main stories this morning.

i want one. christmas is coming up. so, we have drama unfolding this morning. yes, we will come to the ashes at the moment. but what about this? we saw how the power of singing can work. tonga were 20 points down, the crowd broke into song and it spread them on. england eventually won by 20 points to 18. but they had looked in total control — they were 20—nil up at one stage thanks to a first half try from jermaine mcgillvray — the tenth successive match,

he's scored for england, and also john bateman, got one to surely make the game safe. but then came the real drama — tonga scored three tries in the last seven minutes, and they were going for the line in the final seconds, to snatch victory but they dropped the ball. the st helens legend and england international, john wilkin is catching his breath and we will talk to him shortly. england have finished day 3 of the opening ashes test, with a slim lead, but australia, will feel they're on top, after really turning up the heat in brisbane. england started the day really brightly, as stuart broad bristled with intent, catching mitchel starc off his own delivery. one of three wickets for the broad, but try as they might, england had no answer to captain smith, who remained unbeaten on 141. and by the time everyone of his teamates were out, australia, had a lead of 26. england needed to be just as stubborn as smith, butjust like in the first innings, alistair cook was out quickly again.

one of two early wickets to fall as australia smelt fear and unleashed a late bombardment. joe root felt the full force, but he survived and so england finished the day on 33—2, a lead of 7 runs. andy swiss was watching. the hosts really turned up pressure in that last session, didn't they? that's right, they did. it was like the old days. the pace bowlers steaming in, the ball zipping around. they lost those two quick wickets. joe root was hit on the helmet, but tha nkfully was hit on the helmet, but thankfully he was ok. as you said, they began the day so well in the

field. three early wickets. it looked as if they would get a first innings lead, but australia bounced back, thanks to the captain. what a performance from the pace bowlers in the last hour and a half. mark stoneman and john reid held on to the close and stuart broad believes that could be very important. —— joe root. you can easily lose for five wickets and that is the test match gone. they are wonderful times to bowl. you have a brand—new ball, you can charge in, you can't really lose anything in that hour. obviously a bit disappointed to lose two wickets, but it could have been a lot worse. could it be a turning point as stewart is saying that? who

is the most confident now going into the fourth day? stuart broad was very bullish. he said the match is very bullish. he said the match is very much in england's hands if they bat well, but as far as australia are concerned, they are more confident. if they getjoe root early tomorrow it will get difficult for england. it has been even up until today, but we have to say that australia have the upper hand. we will leave it there. can't wait for it to begin again later tonight. on to football, and wales are top of their qualifying group for the women's world cup, one point ahead of england, after beating kasakhstan in cardiff. the match marked the return of wales's all—time leading goalscorer helen wardm who played for half an hour just two months after giving birth to her second child. but the only goal of the game came from hayley ladd's late free kick. england have a game in hand over wales and they made it two wins from two

last night, beating bosnia—herzegovina 4—0 in walsall. captain steph houghton scored twice in what was interim manager mo marley's first competitive game in charge. david moyes got his first point, as west ham manager, as they drew with leicester. they had to come from behind after marc albrighton, rewarded leicester's bright start. but whatever moyes said at half time galvanised the irons and cheikhou kouyate equalised, but it wasn't enough to move west ham out of the relegation zone. we are desperately trying to get a level we think the players will need to play at to get results. we think we worked quite hard tonight and it got us a point, so it shows you we've still got a long way to go, we're going to have to work harder but i also think there were moments tonight where the football was a bit better and we gave ourselves some more chances as well. mr moyes making his point. some scuffling on the sofa. dan has arrived. i have brought some notes,

so arrived. i have brought some notes, soi arrived. i have brought some notes, so i can tell you what is happening on football focus, but they have been stolen. ifi can read his writing. callum wilson swansea? he plays a bournemouth, but they are taking on swansea. we have a striker special. gerry fogarty is on an callu m special. gerry fogarty is on an callum wilson who has been out injured for such a long time, one of his children almost forgot is a footballer. have a look. tel is a bit about your son. he obviously now thinks you are a footballer again.|j thinks you are a footballer again.|j think he thought i was a super fan. he had never seen me play. he would always say, daddy, when will you play? it felt to him that i was not

a footballer. we went into the club shop to get him a shirt at the beginning of the season and he asked for another player. i said, this has to change because daddy does play and now he once my name on the back of his shirt again. we will have a look at the west ham game. john mozz will bejoined by look at the west ham game. john mozz will be joined by the at wembley. steve parrish. yes, the palace co—owner and chairman. watford? interesting situation. marco silver, rumours that he will be going to everton. everton still haven't got a manager. we will be talking about the managerial merry—go—round. manager. we will be talking about the managerial merry-go-round. you didn't need your notes. we wanted to

test you. if you are a fan of offbeat comedy, will ferrell. i went ruling ——i offbeat comedy, will ferrell. i went ruling —— i won't ruin it for you. we are on at midday. man or woman? you will have to wait. don't look on the website, find out at 12 o'clock. lewis hamilton seemed relieved that the formula one season is almost over, after breaking the track record in practice for the abu dhabi grand prix. he kept mercedes on top, going a tenth of a second quicker than ferrari's sebastian vettel. hmilton will be looking for the 73rd pole position of his career. he said, "it's been a good friday, but i'm happy that it's the last one of the season."

now the journey from football field to furlongs went far better than expected for the former england striker michael owen — he finished second in his debut race as a jockey and says he may do it again. owen, who's 37, and had to lose over a stone in training — he was riding calder prince in a charity race at ascot — the only novce in a field of ten amateurs. novice in a field of ten amateurs. and he says the reaction he got on his phone was almost as big as when he played against brazil in the world cup quarter—finals. england are through to their first rugby league world cup final in 22 years after beating tonga 20—18 in aukland. tries from mcgillvary and widdop helped the lions race to a 20—0 lead before a stirring tonga fightback. the lions will face australia in next week's show piece final in bisbane.

we've been joined by st helens captainjon wilkin. you referenced the tongan culture of song and singing during a match. i never heard something as incredible as 35,000 people singing in unison and khomeini too will the saigon. they were dead and buried at one point and came back to score 18 points. they were inches away from winning the game. it was exceptional. on one side you have the idea of a stadium lifting the team, but it seems that england just lost concentration. three tries in seven minutes? tonga seized the

momentum forfourfive. seven minutes? tonga seized the momentum for four five. england struggled. they will need to be better if they want to beat australia. when you are in that position and it is coming at you. , do you feel weak with one attack after another. the other side are getting all the adrenaline. these quys getting all the adrenaline. these guys became energised and it makes everything more difficult. on the back of fatigue, you have 35,000 tongans singing. i am happy to say we came through. then bennett will be delighted with his players. they

go to the world cup final now, which is fantastic for the sport. we or so nearly have been sitting here saying, how did we lose after being ahead 20—0. saying, how did we lose after being ahead 20-0. they will be looking at the video and analysing it, but we just needed to win. i think sport gets analysed to death. when is the next match? next week. churchillian speech. you have got there, now win it. so what that training and strategy? the tongan flag looks like a first strategy? the tongan flag looks like afirstaid strategy? the tongan flag looks like a first aid kit, which is ironic. a lot of those guys will be on ice for the next couple of days. there were some big collisions. recovery will be massive and they will have less

time to prepare. australia will be fresher. how important is it for them to sit in an ice baf? —— ice bath? england's, without breaking any records have gone about their business quietly and have been one of the best sides in the competition. they were able to score points when needed without talking up points when needed without talking up the opposition... no, let us talk them up. this is a quality side and by them up. this is a quality side and

rugby league in australia is massive. they will have huge support. they are the stars of the sporting world. they have a high degree of execution and rugby ability in the team. they are a better side, but england can win. my heart is in england, but my head is saying australia. will it the close laachraoui be close ? it well. fech are very much. let's

have a look at the weather. it is decidedly wintry. loving your photos. a much bleaker soon for this weather watcher though in ashton under lyme. some snow here. this is cou nty under lyme. some snow here. this is county durham. a beautiful sunrise. as we go through today it will remain cold, often windy with a mixture of crisp autumn sunshine. showers have been feeding in from the north—west. a mixture of rain, and snow. with things very cold

there is potential for and snow. with things very cold there is potentialfor ice and snow. with things very cold there is potential for ice over western scotland were the showers continue. 2 degrees in aberdeen. so quite a few showers across northern ireland. the wintry weather confined to higher ground as we get into the morning. showers overnight in the south east. we give the showers enjoying the day in the south—west. breezy, wind, sleet and snow. spells of sunshine in the south is, but it won't help the temperatures. we will continue to see wintry showers

pushing in from the west. eastern areas with a bit of shelter. more of areas with a bit of shelter. more of a breeze than we had last night. probably not as cold. towns and cities close to freezing in the countryside. a widespread frost again to start tomorrow morning. tomorrow looks like a repeat performance. showers in the west, dry and bright in east. the showers will fade for a time, but only as we bring in this area of cloud and persistent rain into ireland. we will try to notch the temperatures up will try to notch the temperatures up with a brief spell of milder weather tied in with this weather system that will work its way through during sunday night. it will sweep the late —— sweep away and we will be back into the cold air on monday. it will stay cold during the

week ahead. crisp autumn sunshine with some showers that could contain snow. it feels like winter sunshine. the start of winter is the 1st of december. thank you. thousands of locum doctors and nurses in the nhs are being reclassified as being employed rather than self employed or contractors. it means they're taxed sooner and in some cases end up paying more. the chancellor announced this week that same process may be extended to private sector employers as well. paul lewis of radio 4's money box programme is in our london studio and has been looking at these changes. what does it all mean? it seems complicated and for the individuals concerned it's very difficult. lots of doctors and nurses are self employed, or through their own personal company. that means they

are paid gross fee for their work and they are responsible for their own tax. before they assess that, they can deduct the costs of travelling to and from a hospital. it's a convenient way for them to work, especially if they have family commitments, they can weather hours they want. but now under rules that changed in april but government has says that they have to be employees and the nhs is reclassifying them. that means the tax is deducted as soon as they are paid an icon set any expenses and it is causing them difficulties. what does the nhs say? the nhs says it is reclassifying people according to the law. the government are saying it means an extra 90,000 people will pay what they say it is the correct tax. what about the government? they are pleased because people are paying

more tax. they are saying in future they will extend this change to the private sector and that will affect many people who are it contractors... sorry, the thing that lets me hear you is falling out my ear. i will a bit. lets me hear you is falling out my ear. iwilla bit. i've lets me hear you is falling out my ear. iwill a bit. i've summed lets me hear you is falling out my ear. i will a bit. i've summed up the government response and finally cani the government response and finally can i say that last week, charlie, you did say something that was not right. can i correct it? who said 100,000 people on universal credit who were paid weekly would lose the benefit over christmas. in fact, it is 25,000 people and generally they won't lose all of their benefit, just some of it. some will lose all of it, but they will have their wages and there won't be destitute over christmas. i'm sorry i got it wrong and i hope people were worried. i'm sure people will appreciate the apology and

congratulations on putting in your lps correctly was on air. that's quite an achievement as well. it happens. thank you very much. more moneybox on radio 4 at midday. they were called the ‘dreadnoughts of the trenches‘ that changed the face of modern warfare. now, 100 years since the first tanks were deployed in the battle of cambrai members of the royal tank regiment have returned to the french town to mark the loss of life. robert halljoined the crowds paying their respects. on the terraced lawn of the cambrai memorial, today‘s tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds of a new military family. these men will tell you stories of the friendship and teamwork particular to this regiment, as true now as it was a century ago. in november, 1917, the early tank men clambered into over 400 lumbering machines for the largest tank attack ever mounted. inside the metal hulls, crews were overcome by heat and exhaust fumes. many tanks broke down.

but courage and determination took most of their objectives. major arthur griffiths was one of those honoured for his bravery. having seen some of the pressures of conflict, it‘s particularly poignant. you understand what the pressures on him were at the time. i think the standout point for me was in the tank you would make sure the bullet was hitting the front of the tank and then you would know you were going the right way towards the enemy. surviving tanks are now too fragile to run. this is a copy made for the film war horse. one battle scarred veteran has been adopted by the french village where it fought. tank d51, deborah to her crew, was abandoned and lost. until a local historian found her in 1998 and began the task of restoring her. today, deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum commemorating her

part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost. when there are not many people, i'm always moved when i'm here. it's part of myself and it is simply a love story. a love story which started 25 years ago when first i met an old lady who let me know that she knew a place where the tank was buried. for me it was exactly as if she had given me a map to find a treasure. when the five men who now lie together at this military cemetery climbed into tank d51 at the start of this battle, they knew they were part of something extraordinary. but the bravery of the crews and the sheer power of the tanks came to naught. the allies were once again driven back. cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change in the way wars were fought. the tank had proved its worth. a machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence.

its birth came at a high cost. these ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under the rolling farmland they crossed. robert hall, bbc news, on the battlefield of cambrai. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast, naga munchetty and charlie stayt. egypt strikes back after the deadliest terror attack in the country‘s recent history. at least 300 people were killed at the mosque in north sinai — the military say they‘ve carried out air strikes on those behind the killings. good morning, it‘s

saturday 25th november. photographs are issued of two men police want to speak to after an altercation on a tube platform sparked panic in central london. a rise in vandalism on cars in england and wales — the rac says its latest figures could be just the tip of the iceberg.
