welcome to bbc news. egypt's military says it has carried out air strikes on those behind the deadliest islamist terror attack in the country's recent history. more than 300 people were killed and more than 100 injured, after gunmen detonated a bomb and stormed a mosque in a remote town 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". 0rla guerin‘s report contains some distressing images. a rush to save those wounded when a place of worship became a place of carnage. the attackers struck during friday prayers. for egypt, this was a grim new first. the mosque was popular with sufi muslims, who revere saints and shrines, and are viewed as heretics by islamic extremists. within hours, a televised address

to a nation in shock. president abdel fattah al—sisi telling egyptians their anguish would not be in vain and there would be decisive punishment. the sophisticated assault on the mosque was the latest attack by militants based in sinai. the state has been battling them for years. the most deadly previous attack by is here was the downing of this russian aircraft in sinai in 2015, with the loss of 224 lives. in the past year, is have killed scores of christians in three attacks on churches, saying followers of the cross were their favourite prey. this time, militants in sinai have targeted their fellow muslims, showing no mercy. 0utside local hospitals, crowds waited to donate blood.

after a day of horror, many egyptians now fearful about what might come next. 0rla guerin, bbc news, cairo. sally nabil is in cairo. this was an appalling atrocity. has shocked people by the choice of this group meant to attack? it is a deep sense of shock and anger here, not just in sinai, but perhaps all over the country. first of all, given the scale of the attack, this number of casualties is unprecedented. and also the style of the attack. we have been used to militant attacks in sinai over the past three orfour yea rs. in sinai over the past three orfour years. militants have been carrying out frequent attacks, targeting

mainly military and police forces as well as christians. they forced many christian families to flee their homes, but this is the first time ever the targeted worshippers within the mosque. this can be some sort of change of tactics, we don't know why this happened, but there are different explanations for that. some people are saying this is the sufi mosque and sufis follow a mystical islam and are considered by the militants to be heretics. 0ther people see the mosque lies in an area that is known for supporting the army, they do support the army and this is why they have been targeted by the militants. up until now, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. there has been reporting in international newspapers that the group that calls itself islamic state has used one of itself islamic state has used one of its propaganda magazines earlier in the year to explicitly point out

sufis as the target. they have been targeted in other parts of the region, but is it the first in this region? yes, islamic militants or the sinai province group, which is affiliated with the so—called islamic state. they have killed eight sufi elderly leader last year. this is the first time for them, if they are the people who carried out this attack, this would be the first time they target sufis this way. the only incident we know is the killing oi’ only incident we know is the killing or slaughtering of the sufi elderly leader last year. but the fact that they went for worshippers within a mosque during friday prayers, this is unprecedented. the tribes issued a statement vowing revenge. they said, we're not going to hold any

ceremonious forewarning or conned audiences we retaliate for those killed yesterday. —— forewarning or console themselves until we retaliate for those killed yesterday. —— forewarning or condolences until we retaliate for those killed yesterday. the australian trade minister says the british proposalfor trade arrangements after britain leaves the european union is unacceptable. steven ciobo said the plan must change because it will unfairly limit australia's access to british markets. tell us more. this is a plan for how countries outside the eu will treat with britain after brexit. at the moment, the chargers in place, and anything coming into the eu from any other country. in some cases, those are lord or set at a special rate. for example, let's use the example of new zealand lamb. about 230,000 tonnes of that is imported into the

eu each year. as at a reduced rate. it's done so that, if it's out of season it's done so that, if it's out of season in the uk and we fancied he joint of lamb for sunday lunch, we can go to the supermarket shelves and they will be beer, because with imported from new zealand. after brexit, the uk in the eu have, other pla nts brexit, the uk in the eu have, other plants is the those tariff rate quarters will stay the same. so 60% of the lamp posts of the eu at the moment, 40% goes to the uk. after brexit, we carry on as normal and eve ryo ne brexit, we carry on as normal and everyone is happy, except they're not. because new zealand, australia, canada and others are saying that plan will limit their access. if demand and the rest of europe for a particular goods falls, they would like to import more than to the uk to make up for that, but this plan doesn't allow them to do that. it's interesting, because these are countries that were part of the commonwealth and hardy privileged trading relationship with the uk before the uk joined the trading relationship with the uk before the ukjoined the eu back in the early 70s. at the time, they

said they felt they were being dumped by the uk in preference to the eu. now we've come back to we wa nt to the eu. now we've come back to we want to build these straight relationships outside the eu. is it just a bit of lobbying by the australians and new zealanders? definitely. there's a certain amount of posturing going on here, and we're seeing the beginnings of negotiations between, although they're not form on the causation jet, because we can't do that unless the eu, between other countries and the eu, between other countries and the uk starting to emerge. this is definitely a negotiating position. australia and new zealand are setting it out to make sure they get the best deal for setting it out to make sure they get the best dealfor their setting it out to make sure they get the best deal for their country and their government and industries with their government and industries with the uk after brexit. but australia being quite strong, and the trade minister criticising this plan, saying it's a bite of principle and they shouldn't be forced to accept it, in response, the uk is seeing through the department of

international trade that they want a smooth transition which minimises disruption to trading partners, and that they will be working with australia and others in an open and inclusive transparent way. thanks very much. the dup leader arlene foster will address her party's annual conference in belfast later today — she's expected to focus on the party's new 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. 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.

this allowed began at 37 minutes past four yesterday, just about the busiest time of the day on one of the busiest days of shopping on 0xford the busiest days of shopping on oxford street. police had multiple reports of what appeared to be gunfire, notjust reports of what appeared to be gunfire, not just underground reports of what appeared to be gunfire, notjust underground at the tube station, but also from carnaby street and selfridge's just along the street. they said they treated as if it was a terrorist incident and first officers were on the scene here within a minute. british transport police are investigating, trying to get to the bottom of what happened. eyewitnesses have spoken about a fight on the platform on the tube and police have issued cctv images of two men they would like to talk to in connection with what they are calling an altercation erupting on the platform. hundreds of people poured out of the tube, many of them

not knowing what was going on, why they were being asked to leave the tube station. as they came up to street level, the transmitted their panic to lots of other people, and hence those scenes of pandemonium, of panic, of people rushing to get away. in that rush, 16 people were injured, seven of them were treated here at the scene and then discharged. eight people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, but one person was taken to a trauma unitand one person was taken to a trauma unit and treated for more serious leg injuries. but at five past six, about an hour leg injuries. but at five past six, aboutan hourand leg injuries. but at five past six, about an hour and a half after the incident started, it was declared over, and police said they had discovered no sign of shots being fired in any way at all. it seems to have been a false alarm. the 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. the oscar—winning actress 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. let's cross live now to our correspondent, alice hutton, who is with supporters in north west london. good morning. good morning, i am here in west hampstead, where the mums protest are setting up in a community where nazanin and her family lived. is being led partly by the actress and activist emma thompson and the local mp, but more importantly, it has the support of the local mums and dads who were the neighbours of the ratcliffe family, who would've been dropping their kids off at the same nursery school, if nazanin and gabrielle still live there. they are planning to march about a mile down to the islamic centre of england in maida vale, where they will hand in a letter to the supreme leader of iran,

appealing to his respectable mothers and family values. i'm joined by nazanin's husband richard. richard, what does it mean to have the support of the local community? on days like this, where with lots of people coming, all these people caring for nazanin and wishing her home. for howard, the important things to come home, so to have cold you waiting is really important. in the last few weeks, and you've got attention from people like emma, who is also a member of the local community in west hampstead. what does it mean to have nazanin's voice elevated by people like her? some other emma thompson, was seen her films and are proud and excited that someone like i will be carrying nazanin's story. the fact that the result care around the world, in our community, big people and ordinary

people that we'd have a cup of tea with. it really matters and it's really important to her to keep this going. we've heard only recently about the new charges. nazanin has a court date and that will add an extra layer of anxiety. you had been hoping to have her home before christmas. tell us about that. we are doing this event in the hope she will be home for christmas and will have a christmas tree and put christmas wishes on. yes, that is a new court case coming on december the 10th and we live in great fear as to what that will mean. what do you hope this letter, this protest will achieve? we're going to take, is partly her knowing people care, we'll take the letter to the supreme leader and hand it over, asking for him to show clemency. obviously, he is the top of the prison system in iran and he's able to do that, so hopefully it will look favourably on

it. obviously at time of great anxiety for the family, but today is about showing locals community support and that nazanin might have dual nationality, but this is a local community, and they hope she is home for christmas. thank you. we hope to hear more from the campaigners later. 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‘ in the lancet psychiatryjournal did conclude that suicides could be cut by sending fewer people with mental illnesses to prison. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. 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 3,900 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 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. the headlines. the egyptian military have carried out air strikes after a terrorist incident. police want to speak to two men after an altercation cause mass panic in central london yesterday evening. no clear link between suicide in prison and overcrowding, according to an international study. sport now...and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good morning — it's been over two

decades since england appeared in a rugby league world cup final — but after a nerve shredding showdown with tonga, wayne bennett's side will now face australia in next saturday's showpiece. but what a semifinal, tonga just metres from snatching victory in front of an impassioned crowd in auckland — asjoe lynskey 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 nation, but england found an early break. it's about timing and jermaine mcgillivray is rarely late. by half—time they had it under control. the team looked safe and sound and 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 from the stands and now the 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. fifita has lost it! 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 cruise control became survival instinct. tonga trauma overcome, it is australia next for the title. it's a great feeling. one of the best games i have ever played.

unbelievable. they are passionate and they keep fighting to the end. staying in the south pacific — day three of the opening ashes test has seen england take a slim lead — but it was australia who really turned up the heat in brisbane in the final hour. the visitors started the day brightly, as stuart broad off his own delivery, one of three wickets for the broad, well, if the first two days of this test match were level pegging, australia have the edge at the end of day three. england are 33—2, a lead of just seven runs. they lost two wickets in a torrid final session. captain joe root was struck on the helmet by a bouncer. thankfully he was ok. a difficult closing hour for the english batsmen. earlier in the day they started

well in the field. they took three early wickets. they looked to be heading for a first innings lead, but then steve smith guided australia, with a little help from pat cummings, who scored an important a2. australia edging ahead thanks to a stunning performance from steve smith. they will feel they have the advantage going into day four. if they can getjoe root‘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 blows being taken, but tomorrow will be slightly different. we have to set up and try and bat 90 overs tomorrow,

make the bowlers bowl. it's a lot harder to continue with that sort of tactic through a whole day. onto 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 goal—scorer helen ward — who played for, half an hour, 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. really happy. been doing a lot of work since obviously we've been in post about being a bit more creative and, you know, the opportunities that we created, obviously we're really pleased with. obviously tough opposition, really difficult to break down but overall really happy with the performance. 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 kouyatey 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 o'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 two on the trot and are fourth. that's all the sport for now.

you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you in the next hour. car vandalism in england and wales has jumped 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. richard lister reports. 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. 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. 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. hundreds of thousands of shoppers snapped up a black friday bargain yesterday with estimates that more than two—and—a—half billion pounds were spent in one day alone — but was it a record breaking year for retailers? we've been out in manchester to speak to shoppers. done a bit of christmas shopping. i hadn't planned on christmas shopping. i've got half my christmas presents sorted. i spent less than what i thought today. i came with a budget and i'm going home with more than what i thought i was going to go home with. just came for black friday, ended up buying a television, headphones, clothes, jewellery, all sorts of things. we actually got friday off with our friends and so itjust happened to fall on black friday, which is handy, so we got lots of bargains. we're just girls out on a friday!

some places we got 25% off, some had 10% off. i guess any percentage, 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! 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 at media city in salford yesterday. browning spent £40,000 building thejet pack, and it hits speeds of 32 miles per hour.
