after surviving a tonga fight back, 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, jewellery, 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. more details emerging this morning
9:02 am
about the casualties. bring us up to date. the latest number we have is 300 people killed, according to medical sources in north sinai. that was expected, because many of those wounded were in a critical condition. we don't yet know if this isa condition. we don't yet know if this is a final number order of things will change in the next few hours. people took to social media to express their deep anger and shock that the scale of this attack, which is by all means unprecedented. some people have been describing the attack as a genocide, because it happened in a small village inhabited by 2000 or 3000 people and the fact that 10% of the population are gone now, that made a lot of people really angry. and they kept questioning the effectiveness of the military operations and security measures put in place, and perhaps this is why the egyptian president
9:03 am
bowed immediate retaliation. he said we're going to respond with brutal force in a televised speech yesterday. so far, nobody has claimed responsibility for attack. but it bears the hallmarks of islamic state affiliated group in sinai province, because they have found over the past couple of months to target sufis. they are regarded by the militants as heretics. 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 chaos and confusion as we
9:04 am
report, because it wasn't very clear what exactly had happened. . that's right, there was panic and people talked about a stampede on 0xford street. all this happens 37 minutes past four yesterday, just about the busiest time on one of the busiest days by shopping in this area. police say they got multiple reports of what appeared to be gunshots from several locations, notjust down in the trip, but from carnaby street, from selfridge's just along the trip, but from carnaby street, from selfridge'sjust along 0xford street. they responded as if it was a terror alert. british transport police are trying to get to the bottom of what happened. they released cctv images taken on the cup trip of two men. they would like to talk to them, they have some
9:05 am
information about what eyewitnesses cause a fight —— call a fight or altercation. that led to many people pouring out of the tube, many not knowing what was going on and be transmitted there appeared to other people. in the crash or rush to get away, 16 people were injured, seven of them treated at the scene, eight with minor injuries and one person was more serious leg injuries. 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.

9:07 am
prisons can be harsh, depressingand brutal places at times. suicide is a regular occurrence. in england and wales, last year was the worst on record. 119 inmates took their own lives, two every week. staff shortages and population pressures may have played some part in the high suicide rate, but the conditions prisoners are held in are a less significant factor than traditionally thought according to a new study. the research looked at cases across the world. it examined more than 3900 prison suicides in 2a countries. the study found wide variation in prison suicide rates, but no link with prison overcrowding, except in low income countries were extremely crowded cells might cause extra stress. there are no simple explanations for this prison suicide, so overcrowding, prisoner numbers, prison officer numbers, how much you spend on prison, that didn't seem to be an explanation for these differences
9:08 am
in rates of suicide. the study found proportionately more self—inflicted deaths in jails in countries such as norway and sweden. there, custody was generally reserved for the most violent and dangerous offenders, including those with mental health problems. that led researchers to conclude that the best way to reduce prison suicides would be to cut dramatically the number of inmates with severe mental illness and improve access to psychiatric care and social welfare provision. danny shaw, bbc news. 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
9:09 am
near the submarine's last—known location. car vandalism in england and wales hasjumped by 10 per cent in three years. 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. according to data obtained it's an infuriating problem for motorists and it's on the rise. around 60 cars were vandalised on this colchester industrial estate in august, costing thousands of pounds to fix. new police figures show that across the country more than 210,000 cars suffered criminal damage last year. that's up 10% since 2013. but the increase in hertfordshire and in west yorkshire was 25%, while greater manchester saw a 37% rise. and none of us are immune. in 2009, the former cabinet minister hazel blears found her car had been attacked by vandals.
9:10 am
slashed tyres and broken windows mean a vehicle can be off in 2009, the former cabinet minister hazel blears found her car had been attacked by vandals. slashed tyres and broken windows mean a vehicle can be off the road for days. very frustrating for a motorist because of the inconvenience, the cost and the time it takes to actually get an effective repair, but we also feel it's probablyjust the tip of the iceberg because many people won't actually report a small incident of vandalism and certainly won't make an insurance claim. in this area near luton airport, holiday—makers who'd parked in residential streets to avoid airport car parks had an unwelcome surprise when they returned. paying for secure parking would've been cheaper. and if that's not available, the advice is to find well lit unobtrusive spaces to avoid the vandals. richard lister, bbc news. sightseers on a london tour bus have shared their journey with an unexpected stowaway.
9:11 am
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. it's one of the deadliest attacks in egypt's recent history — at least 235 people killed and more than 100 were injured in an attack at a packed mosque at the end of friday prayers. the egyptian military have responded with a show of force but it's still not clear who was was responsible for carrying out the attack. afshin shahi is a security and terrorism expert from the university of bradford. we have still not sure who was
9:12 am
responsible, the suspicion is it his so—called islamic cammack state. responsible, the suspicion is it his so-called islamic cammack state. you have to look at the wider picture and the way these worshippers were indiscriminately targeted in a sufi mosque. definitely, you can claim it has the whole hallmark of an isis attack. time and time again, they have been talking about targeting sufis. specifically, they talked about this mosque. they executed a very prominent sufi person in the same region this time last year. our correspondent in cairo this morning saying that authorities say that up to 30 children were among those killed. he talked about the indiscriminate nature of this attack. yes, this is indiscriminate
9:13 am
in every sense of the term. you have to remember this is a specific region, that sinai region, it has a very long history of insurgency and terrorism. since 2013, insurgency and terrorism has been a new type of momentum. when the leader was toppled and replaced with the current president. at the same time, that our regional tensions cheesier, islamic state is losing its territory. jihadists writers are going back home. in april, there was a major atrocity in alexandria, and the man behind placing the bomb any christian church, was reported to have fought with isis, so already this complicated region is getting even more complicated by the arrival of these new egyptian jihadists. the
9:14 am
focus will be on how egypt reacts, if as you say isis is losing hold in other areas of the middle east. egypt has said it has put its full might behind retaliating and targeted certain areas, areas which it says are terrorists areas. and the vehicles, i think, of those they suspect are behind this attack. i'm afraid this is only a cosmetic approach to a very deep and profound problem. this specific region is already a military zone. i don't think it is anybody else when it comes to the military approach that the president has not done. in 2013, he came to power in order to respond to some of the security issues and problems facing the country. and i very much believe that there is a limit to what the military approach security approach can do. what is
9:15 am
the answer? if we have to look at the answer? if we have to look at the region as a whole, what role should egypt be playing? even since 2013, there was a lot of insurgency. there are a lot of factors that contribute, like unemployment and poverty and economic deprivation. since 2010, the egyptian economy has been going through a lot of difficulties, but in recent months, we have seen difficulties, but in recent months, we have seen some difficulties, but in recent months, we have seen some kind of improvement. but those improvements have not affected everyday life in egypt. the rate of unemployment is extremely high, the rate of inflation is still very high. and this specific region has a very long history of neglect. it has been neglected by the authorities and it has created a perfect platform for recruiting jihad fighters, who undertake barbaric and atrocious activities. thank you very much for your time. let's talk to ben and find out
9:16 am
what's happening with the weather. for some, this brings the first snow of the season. snow on the ground in stirling. the further east europe, you probably avoided most of the wintry showers overnight, and just a beautiful and chilly start of the day. it will remain chilly and windy, with a mixture of sunshine and showers. the greater picture shows where showers have already fallen. you can see a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. the snow mostly over higher ground. where we have had heavier showers, the snow has come down to lower levels. that is the risk of ice, in western
9:17 am
scotland. in eastern scotland, a beautiful start, if cold. through northern ireland, into north—west england, into the midlands and wales, a scattering of showers. still wintry, but not exclusively over the hills. continuing risk of ice. 0ne over the hills. continuing risk of ice. one of two icy patches across the south—east, where we had showers in the night. showers into the south west again. 0ver in the night. showers into the south west again. over the hills, some of the showers likely to be wintry. as the showers likely to be wintry. as the day goes on, this is now becoming increasingly confined to higher and higher ground. mostly been at low levels. more persistent rain, sleet and snow in northern scotland, where it will also be very windy, with gales. the further east europe, the better the chance of staying dry. it will feel cold for all of us. the winners will be a bit stronger than they were last night, so temperatures perhaps just holding up so temperatures perhaps just holding upa so temperatures perhaps just holding up a little bit more. towns and cities close to freezing, in the
9:18 am
countryside, it out below. i still think it will go cold enough for frost. then a repeat performance on sunday. the showers will tend to fade away, but only because of this shield of cloud working its way into the atlantic, which will bring more persistent rain into northern ireland later in the day. also, just temporarily, those temperatures charging upa temporarily, those temperatures charging up a little bit towards the south—west. slightly milder ear tied in with his frontal system, which will push its way in from the west during sunday and monday. what lies behind is a return. any brief flirtation with milder conditions in the south, quickly swept away by tuesday, and indeed, for the rest of the coming week, it is looking cold with crisp sunshine. some showers and a showers could could contain some snow. yes, it feels a bit more like winter.
9:19 am
and certainly does. 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. he picked out an inspirational story about education. it's about how robots are helping surgeons to save lives. and here is another one, inspirational is the appropriate headline. it is the story of selina, how a state school girl from one of the poorest london orders to corn in a debating competition final, pupils with the best education money could buy, yes, and one. it is a phenomenal story of her parents, the contribution, the inspirational
9:20 am
headteacher and the sixth form couege headteacher and the sixth form college there in newham. this is what education can do for people. she is now talking about whether she would like to go to oxford. she is taking for a—levels. but her performance in this debate is debating hall, an away game, if ever there was one, if i can use that expression, was quite remarkable. there are different elements of that story. the weight placed on what we assume about people. the assumption of the story is thatjust because you don't go to eton, you would be good enough. that's crazy, isn't it? people have inspiration from wherever they come from. but that is one thing i think it's important. i don't know if you had the inspirational teacher that you will both rememberfrom inspirational teacher that you will both remember from school, inspirational teacher that you will both rememberfrom school, i certainly do. absolutely. and he didn't actually teach me. he was a
9:21 am
geography teacher who was in charge of me when i was not in the classroom, which was rather a lot, i remember. what was his name? his name was richard dilley. he was a man who changed lives. my second story is one of those stories, it's an idea that, on the surface, has considerable appeal, but in practice, you do wonder about. a variable state pension. here we have the labour party, the shadow work and pensions minister saying the state pension should reflect people's income and the nature of their work. you think on the surface, that has appeal. then, you talk to certain people who have worked in this field and a considerable period of time, and they can be very much opposed building lifestyle factors into the state pension isn't right at all. and there have been independent reports that have come to a different conclusion, but of course,
9:22 am
for young people today, they are living in a world, is it 2037 that the pension will be 68? this is differentiating between the types of jobs people haven't physically how taxing those jobs have jobs people haven't physically how taxing thosejobs have been. jobs people haven't physically how taxing those jobs have been. what about people who have changed jobs, and people who change their lives in the middle, when there are 35 and 40? we are told you don't have one career now. exactly. and you are a shining example of that.” career now. exactly. and you are a shining example of that. i try. it's the 25th of november to do. as i was coming into the office, i did say, now it is a month before christmas, we can start thinking about christmas, but any longer, we can start thinking about christmas, butany longer, give yourself a rest. here we have how to buy the perfect present this christmas. we hear from buy the perfect present this christmas. we hearfrom various daily mirror columnists and stole
9:23 am
wa rts . daily mirror columnists and stole warts. it tells us a lot about them. i suspect my good mate kevin macdonald, santa left his other half a saucepan, nicely giftwrapped with a saucepan, nicely giftwrapped with a ribbon. we still use that, says kevin. as a practical gift. someone else i know, andy, the worst present i ever bought was a mobile phone charger and hands—free kit, and she not my other have any more. not surprising, you might say. that's the difference, isn't it? if someone has put salt into the present, that a lwa ys has put salt into the present, that always means much more. it can be the most glamorous present, but it's nothing to do with what i'm about, as rather something much smaller and practical. if you are giving something like a mobile phone charger, he probably thought his partner, her phone was always running out. i have to say after 40 yea rs running out. i have to say after 40 years with the same partner, is getting more difficult, i don't have
9:24 am
as many original thoughts as i used to. do you know what to partner with love ? to. do you know what to partner with love? i need to take up golf. yes, buy yourself some golf clubs, take up buy yourself some golf clubs, take up golf, should love that. this none of our business, there might bea this none of our business, there might be a reason that david balls wife likes golf, it might be that her thing. we don't normally give marriage guidance on the couch. just open up, david. ifit marriage guidance on the couch. just open up, david. i fit with gone over it, but there was a story in the express about the mousetrap. what is it celebrating? today, it's 65 years old. there have been 27,120 performances by tonight at that same theatre that i went to the 19605 to
9:25 am
see it. do you know who did it? don't! that's the joy of the mousetrap. agatha christie thought it would only last a few months all tho5e it would only last a few months all those years ago. people must go bolts of all times when it have been on that long. people come to london from abroad to see the houses of parliament, the law courts, the british museum and the mousetrap. there you go. you are free to go now. thank you for coming. give that i think. it's good advice. david, it was good having you. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when michel roux takes over in the saturday kitchen. charlie stopped talking ju5t charlie stopped talking just as your

9:34 am
incredible match. it was an incredible end to the match, and tonga were just a few metres away from snatching victory, but england ju5t held on, asjoe lyn5key reports. for england, some wins are worth waiting for. after three straight defeats in world cup semifinals, victory finally came, but with a scare. to get to brisbane, england had to cross the red sea. in auckland they were staring down at tonga's town. this stadium can hold a quarter of the stadium, but england found an early break. it's about timing and jermaine mcgillivray is really late. by half—time they had it under control. the team looked safe and sound and
9:35 am
john bateman's third score looked to have sealed it. england's try. it's looking as if it will be england in the semifinal. but the drama was just beginning. tonga's fans sing hymns from the stands and other team had found something almighty. the chorus inspired them to three tries in the last seven minutes and in the final seconds, they were on charge for the line. he has lost the! he has lost it and england have won it! tonga may never get so close to the top of world sport, but in the end england's control became survival instinct. tonga trauma overcome, it is australia next for the title. it's a great feeling. 0ne

closing hour for the thankfully he was ok. a difficult closing hourfor the english batsmen. earlier in the day they started well in the field. they took three early wickets. they looked to be heading from a first innings lead, but then steve smith guided australia, with a little help from pat cummings, who scored an important 42. australia edging ahead thanks to a stunning performance thanks to a stunning performance thanks to a stunning performance from steve smith. they will feel they have the advantage going into day for. if they can getjoe route's wicket early, they have a strong chance of winning. disappointed to lose two wickets, but it could have been worse. it was proper theatre, you know? proper test match cricket. fast bowling, batsmen playing well, a few players being taken, but tomorrow will be slightly different. we have to set up slightly different. we have to set upa try slightly different. we have to set up a try and bat 90 overs tomorrow,
9:38 am
make the bowlers bowl. it's a lot harder to continue with that sort of tactic through a whole day. 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. dundee are off the bottom of the scottish premiership, after adding to the recent woes of rangers. matt 0'hara was the star man with the winner and that was his second goal of the night in a 2—1win. managerless rangers, have now lost 2 on the trot and are 4th. 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. 0wen, 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 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. better than i expected, must admit, we seems to go really quick early on and i thought, wow, no one can keep this up. that's probably the fastest i've

ever been on a horse and it felt like the horse slowed up into the bend, whipped up on the inside and all of a sudden i was on the front and i thought, come on now, but that was a long straight and i got very tired. it's all square in tennis‘ davis cup final between france and belguim going into the weekend and you can watch it on the bbc sport website. if you're more comfortable watching rather than playing, there is a way of improving your game while burning more calories than you would in a traditional match. this week i got a taste of cardio tennis. i love tennis, but unless i find someone pretty much as bad as me, it can be a bit of a ball—watching experience, as you just chase thin air. hardly any rallies. so you're not getting much of a workout. but there is now a version of the sport which does give you a chance to combine both. a version which keeps you moving
9:41 am
on the court regardless of your abilities. cardio tennis combines a trip to the gym with games designed to improve your fitness and your confidence with the racket. i think some people are scared about playing tennis, either they had a bad experience at school or they think it's not the game for them, but cardio tennis is a great way into tennis. there are balls flying around your head at all times, because it is a sport that's non—stop. it's a mental challenge keeping up with what you're meant to be doing at first. my turn again. i think it's just great. it's running with a bit of tennis in the middle. how has it transformed your fitness and your life? i've probably lost a stone since september. it just adds another aspect to it. i like chasing after a ball. in tennis you have a stop and you stand still before you play the next game, you have breaks in between. and this is just on the go. youjust go, go, go. in the us in the last year, this has seen the biggest growth
9:42 am
of any participation sport. now there are hundreds of clubs involved in the uk as well. the lawn tennis association claims an hour of cardio tennis burns 25% more calories than an average singles match and twice that than a doubles contest. you don't need to be any good at tennis, you don't need to be particularly fit, it's for people of all tennis abilities and fitness abilities because often the outcome of the shot is irrelevant, it doesn't matter if you hit the ball in the net you hit the ball into the back fence, you just keep running around. it's an effective full body workout. unlike a spin class where you're working the lower half of your body, you're up high, you're down low. there is a competitive element for this as well in that it's not singles or doubles but quadruples, four on each team and you keep swapping positions. it's crazy. you just feel like a child again. gets the heart rate up. always running around and getting good exercise regardless of what level you're at. you meet so many more people
9:43 am
and you're on the go all the time, you don't get the chance to stop, but you can stop if it gets too much. with four on each team we can now all enjoy long, long rallies. is it me? sorry! until someone makes a mistake. but of course in this version of the sport, there's no shame because our fitness the only real winner. great fun and it does improve your tennis skills and get you fit. by a lwa ys tennis skills and get you fit. by always think you do well. you try sports that you are not good at necessarily and you try to improve. that's what it is all about. the lawn tennis association website will tell you were one of the hundreds of khadair tennis sites are near you. it's a special day today. we are

9:46 am
any discount is better than having nothing so we've done well i think. we've not overspent i think, what we've done is we knew what we needed to get and we've come out and we've got that really. so, yeah, quite a positive experience with it. millie feels like she's overspent. i've overspent. i think it's all about self love! how well have the retailers done this year? catherine shuttleworth is from a retail marketing agency, and in our london newsroom is richard lim from retail economics, a research consultancy firm. what have you seen? this year it is bigger. black friday started last week and will finish on tuesday of next week. why can't it be one day? i don't want to be grumpy, but the sales are getting longer and longer. i don't know why you would shop u nless i don't know why you would shop
9:47 am
unless you are shopping in a sale. it's the start of the christmas shopping season. this is the time we buy presents, next month we will buy food. it's about getting people on the high street. people have been saving up because the economy is making us feel uncertain and people have been waiting to sell. the retailers need is back in the stores. please clarify for us. if you go into a store and see 60% off, will that really disappear by tuesday and is it generally cheaper thanit tuesday and is it generally cheaper than it will be in the january sales ? than it will be in the january sales? it should be disappearing by tuesday because the retailers will wa nt to tuesday because the retailers will want to put their prices back to where they were. if i go win on wednesday and say, i could not get here for the black friday run, will they say, you've missed your chance? it's worth asking. there will be
9:48 am
more deals in january, it's worth asking. there will be more deals injanuary, but you need to be careful about the prices. make sure you understand, especially on high ticket items like tvs. you can check online, or even on your smartphone when you are in the shop. you are saying that this map people buy presents, next month people buy food. you have a budget, christmas isa food. you have a budget, christmas is a big occasion. what about buying things that you need? people buy for themselves? about 30% of people who bought yesterday bought stuff for themselves. it's a great time to buy certain products. electricals, definitely. people will also use it asa time definitely. people will also use it as a time to work because they know the prices will drop. it seems a bit

friday sell, you will need them. the weather doing a good impression of winter. snow in sterling as well with a beautiful sunrise. further east, not as many wintry showers. the weather watchers have been doing the business for us and thank you for the pictures you have sent in. it will remain cold and windy with sunshine and showers. in the heavier showers, some snow, even over lower levels. it has brought icy conditions. if you are out on the roads, bear that in mind. eastern scotla nd roads, bear that in mind. eastern scotland is largely dry, but only two or three degrees. from northern ireland in the north wells and the midlands, a few showers continuing. as we get deeper into daylight hours, most of the showers at low
9:52 am
levels will come as rain, but still sleet and snow over the hills and mountains. even down to the far south—west there could be snow mixed in with the showers over the hills and moors. western area still seeing the showers, mostly rain across low levels. further east, some crisp autumn sunshine to enjoy. a windy day, particularly across the far north where we are likely to see girls. wherever you are though, it will be cold. 6 degrees in cardiff is the best you can expect. this evening and the knights, wintry showers feeding in the western areas. snow lower levels. the breezy night. more of a breeze than last night, so it may stop things getting quite as cold. it will be cold enough for some frost. tomorrow, carbon copy with crisp sunshine and dry weather in the east, wintry showers in the west. things will

don't change. more clout coming in from the atlantic bringing persistent rain, particularly over northern ireland. with that temperatures just subtly nudging upwards. there will be some milder air contained within this frontal system as we move through sunday night and monday. we will see rain as well, but behind that we get into the cold northerly winds. a brief flirtation with warmer weather, but the trend for the week is that it will be cold. sunshine and showers, and in the showers there will be some snow. it is still autumn, but the weather is doing a good impression of winter. long after the horrors of wars or terrorist attacks have faded in the public‘s mind, the physical scarring of victims caught up in the events remains.

until now what we know about how wounds heal has been limited. the uk's first ever specialist research centre will open in birmingham — its goal is to achieve scar—free healing within a generation. adam reid is a consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon at the university hospital of south manchester. tell about the work you will be doing. the mission is to have scot—free healing. the setup conflict research, the new centre in birmingham will look into the clinical lessons that have been learnt and how our injured servicemen and women have been manage. we will also be looking at wound healing and scarring. the phrase you used was scar free
9:55 am
healing. what does it mean? skar the impact of the many different ways. clearly physically. everyone either has a scar or has seen someone with a scar. there is the visible appearance of scars, but there is hidden scarring that can affect function. the way we move our hands, the way we walk. there is also the psychology of scarring. how do we feel about the way our bodies change after trauma? feel about the way our bodies change after trauma ? the feel about the way our bodies change after trauma? the psychology of an event, such as the arena attack. people cope with the psychology of psychology of that afterwards. you have spoken to people who were in the arena attack. can you give us an example whereby if medical
9:56 am
advancements were further on, you could've change someone's life? plastic reconstructive surgeons and the orthopaedic surgeons work closely together to reconstruct limbs and this tends to happen after the life—saving surgery has been done. this was certainly our experience following the arena attack. we perform live on saving surgeries, they reconstruct limbs, but we leave scars. despite the advanced techniques in plastic surgery advanced techniques in plastic surgery and lessons learnt from previous military conflict, we still leave scars and it affects functionality and the psychology of the patient. what is changing to get to scar free healing? it's an
9:57 am
ambitious aim for the foundation to try to achieve, but we believe it is possible. the science that is being undertaken in birmingham is specifically related to a new dressing which will help with winds and modulate the scarring response. and further than that, a link with the university of bristol helps with the university of bristol helps with the psychology of how people respond to scarring. and presumably you seen first—hand how people are effected both physically and mentally? this could be a real change the people looking forward to the future? absolutely. it's important that the lessons we have learned from the military are taken into the civilian population, in particular one of my
9:58 am
specialist areas which is trauma. we have seen lots of terrorist attacks in recent years. this may continue, so we in recent years. this may continue, so we need to learn the experience of the military and how it will affect civilians. the scar free foundation have invested heavily, also the university of manchester. they are looking at how winds heal in frogs and tadpoles. after ten yea rs of in frogs and tadpoles. after ten years of funding, this is now coming into clinical practice with new ways to heal scars. adam, thank you for your time this morning. very interesting. that's all from us today. it's ben and tina with you tomorrow. until then have a lovely weekend. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at ten. after a massacre at a mosque kills 300 — the egyptian military carries out air strikes on islamist militants. police say they want to speak to two
