On the submarine that went missing in the south atlantic, as the argentine government promises a full investigation into its disappearance. Hello and welcome to world news today. A deadly terror attack at a mosque in the Sinai Peninsula in egypt has killed at least 235 people. More than 100 people have been injured, many critically. It happened in a remote town in northern sinai, near the city of el arish. Militants entered the mosque during friday prayers, opening fire and detonating a bomb. They were armed with automatic rifles and rocket propelled grenades. It is the deadliest attack yet in the three year insurgency in sinai. James landale has the latest a warning there are some distressing images in his report. These were some of the chaotic scenes after the attack, as hundreds of wounded people were rushed to nearby hospitals. Survivors of one of the most deadly attacks on civilians in egypt. Witnesses said the militants stormed the mosque in northern sinai and exploded a bomb inside. They said around a0 gunmen then fired on worshippers as they tried to flee. They came here to kneel in prayer. Instead, they lay down in death. President sisi sent his condolences to the families of those who had died and said the attack would only increase egypts determination to face up to terrorism. Many of the dead and wounded were said to be sufi muslims, whose brand of islam is rejected byjihadi extremists. But a mass attack on a mosque, with such devastating consequences, is very rare in egypt. This is unprecedented. I cant see any particular imperative behind it in the slightest. You havent had this sort of attack take place before. Youve seen the rhetoric about sufis and sufism from these radical groups for years but youve never seen an attack like this. The militants have long targeted religious opponents such as coptic christians, particularly by mounting attacks on their churches. Theyve also killed civilians who work with the authorities in sinai. Until tonight, egypts deadliest terror attack was the downing of a russian passengerjet over sinai in october 2015. Is said they were behind the bombing that killed 224 people. But so far no one has claimed responsibility for todays attack, which has now left even more people dead. James landale, bbc news. Joining me in the studio is professor fawaz gerges from the London School of economics. This area has seen some intense violence this is the most savage attack, in skill of savagery it is unique. More than 400 People Killed and injured. Dozens of attackers using not only automatic weapons but also rocket grenades, targeting the ambulances that came to take the victims, hunting the worshippers. The first time that they have attacked the mosque. Muslims attacking other muslims, even though most of the worshippers belong to the sufi sacked. Two or three million objective is egyptians are sufis. Hardliners think that sufis are heretical. Iis has decided to attack now the sufis, notjust heretical. Iis has decided to attack now the sufis, not just the christian context. This region has seen intense violence over the past few years. What do you think the root cause of this violence is . Few years. What do you think the root cause of this violence i57m root cause of this violence is7m is easy for us to say alqaeda, isis, alqaeda, isis. There is an insurgency that has been going on in north sinai for more than a decade. This particular area of egypt is populated mostly by bedouins. Dave phillips colluded and marginalised, treated as second class citizens, so they have been revolting against the Central Authority in the past ten yea rs Central Authority in the past ten years so. Central authority in the past ten years so. What has happened in the last few years, the insurgency has become radicalised. Despite taken on the of isis. In fact, the sinai province pledge allegiance to isis in 2014, so the spectacular rise of isis in 2014 has resonated with radicals, in particular in north sinai, and outside of syria and iran for this sinai province, which is pa rt for this sinai province, which is part of isis, is one of the most powerful affiliate site i outside of iraq and syria. There are more than 1,000 skilled fanatical determined to kill their own, including muslim believers. If chelsea a great deal about how difficult the situation in egypt is today. Do you think the government is doing enough to protect minorities in egypt . It is very easy, time and again, isis and alqaeda and militants have targeted minorities in egypt. Why . Because they want to show that the government is impotent. They want to humiliate the government, should the egyptians that the government does not have the capacity to protect them. They want to plunge egypt into sectarian warfare, exactly what happened in iraq and syria. Think i easy it is to kill civilians. It just takes the will to kill. To go into an mosque, explode a bomb and then basically hummed the worshippers who are fleeing. No government in britain or the United States can protect civilians periods. The underlying theme of your question, even though the Egyptian Government has thrown everything that the militants, can put an end to the multiple insurgencies, not only in this sinai, but you have another faction and other freelancers who are carrying out attacks in egypt. It is a very complicated story and that is why the Egyptian Government is facing a major dilemma. Thank you very much. Zimbabwe has a new president. Emmerson mnangagwa was sworn in at a ceremony in the National Stadium in the capital harare. It of course marks the end of the mugabe era. Robert mugabe, who had been in powerfor 37 years, did not attend the ceremony the official reason given that he was too tired. 0ur zimbabwe correspondent, shingai nyoka, reports. The changing of the guard in zimbabwe. And long time leader Robert Mugabe was not there to witness it. But newly elected president Emmerson Mnangagwa doesnt need his blessing. I, Emmerson Mnangagwa. The moment zimbabweans have been waiting for, the swearing in of this countrys second leader in nearly 40 years. This is zimbabwes new president , not through an election but with the help of the military. It caps the most dramatic two weeks in zimba bwes history, and a surprise comeback from a man who just a fortnight ago fled the country in fear of his life. With mugabes departure, mnangagwa will serve as interim president until next years election. But he inherits a fragmented party and a country broken under mugabes isolationist policies. In his inaugural speech there was praise for his predecessor. He led us in our struggle for national independence. He assumed responsibilities of leadership at a formative and a very challenging time, at the behest of our nation. That is to be lauded and celebrated. But also a pledge to break from the past. I am not oblivious to the many zimbabweans from our political, ethnic and racial divides, who have helped make this day. So, what do we know about Emmerson Mnangagwa . Jailed for ten years in 1965, he met mugabe in prison. There, the two men formed a close association. After independence in 1980, he became mugabes right hand man. In 1983, he was implicated in the mass murder of thousands of opposition supporters in matabeleland, something he denies. More recently, he was accused of orchestrating a violent crackdown on opposition supporters. Those who are very close to him say that he listens more than he speaks. He is a soft spoken man, a gentleman, contrary to what the reports say about him. A god fearing family man. We have to give him some time because an improvement is something which cannot be improved like overnight. After two weeks of uncertainty, zimbabwe seems to be returning to normal again. No one knows what the future holds, whether mnangagwa is the man to bring a new era of democracy and freedom. Police here in london say theyve found no evidence to support reports of shots being fired around Oxford Circus underground station and have stood down their response. The station and nearby bond street were closed and the local area placed on lockdown as part of a major operation. Heres our Home Affairs Correspondent june kelly. It was just after 4 30pm when the alarm was raised. There were reports of two bangs which sounded like gunshots close to Oxford Circus tube station. This was an alert on one of londons most crowded streets in the rushhour on black friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Hundreds of people were left frightened and confused as they were told to get off the street and take refuge in nearby shops. People who did appear to know what may have happened said they thought they heard a gunshot and i think you could just see the panic was just spreading. People were sprinting and crying and running. It was very distressing to watch. Armed officers were quickly on the scene. Scotland yard issued a brief statement saying that the police were responding as if the incident was terrorist related and they were working alongside colleagues from british transport police, but then came news that the mets counterterrorism command unit were not getting involved. The police also said there was no evidence of shots fired or any trace of casualties or suspects. Amid the mayhem, the Selfridges Department store, at the other end of oxford street, was evacuated. Just after 6 00pm, the whole area was declared safe and people were allowed to leave buildings where they had sought shelter. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

Stay with us on bbc world news, still to come the latest on the submarine that went missing in the south atlantic, as the argentine government promises a full investigation into its disappearance. This is bbc world news today. Im alpa patel. The latest headlines more than 230 people have been killed in a militant attack in egypt. Gunmen stormed a crowded mosque in the Sinai Peninsula during friday prayers. Emmerson manangagwa has been sworn in as zimba bwes new president. Addressing a packed stadium, he vowed to serve all of the countrys citizens. The president of the European Council has said the british governments hopes of an agreement next month to begin brexit trade talks remain a huge challenge. Following meetings with the british Prime Minister, theresa may, in brussels, donald tusk said progress was still needed from the uk on all issues, within the next 10 days. 0ur deputy Political Editor john pienaar reports from brussels. An amicable divorce from a roomful of partners, but its getting tense. So, now theresa may is hinting to eu leaders, starting with donald tusk in the summit chair, that britain might up and some say double its offer of £20 billion in a separation deal. Dig deeper into the nations purse. If only the eu is ready to talk trade. Or this long goodbye could end in tears the last thing she wanted. These negotiations are continuing, but what i am clear about is that we must step forward together. This is for both the uk and the European Union to move onto the next stage. Brexit negotiations could, maybe will, turn to trade next month. Leaders here need more persuasion. Mrjuncker, are you worried about brexit . Brexit is a tragedy. I will meet the british Prime Minister on the 3rd of december and then we will see if there has been sufficient progress. Are you at all confident that progress will be made . Yes. But every country must agree to Start Talking trade, and irelands minority government is facing the risk of collapse at home, but was sounding tough here. Suggesting brexit talks could stall without clear guarantees there will be no hard north south customs border. Is ireland prepared to block progress . I dont think ireland will have to block anything on its own. There is absolute solidarity across 27 countries here. Germany is not much more supportive. Angela merkel was already firm on brexit. Now she has her hands full forming a new government. She met mrs may today, another leader looking for more give on the british side. In her one on one talks with the Eu Council President , no final proposals, no breakthrough. And they may not settle hard numbers on the divorce bill for months to come. But they explored the case for more compromise. There are still issues across the various matters that we are negotiating on to be resolved, but there has been a very positive atmosphere in the talks and a genuine feeling that we want to move forward together. Neither side wants the brexit talks to end in stalemate, but without more give and take it could happen. And then the risk would grow of negotiations ending with no eu trade deal at all. And thats the outcome business leaders, who are worried about brexit, say they fear most. So, more talking to do ahead of the next big summit next month. The slow march of brexit goes on. Its course and destination being decided one step at a time. John pienaar, bbc news, brussels.

Earlier, i spoke to candace piette, bbc 0nlines americas editor. She told me what we know about the investigation. The president was careful to say that this investigation was something that he had ordered but it wouldnt start immediately. We have to be aware that there are still conducting an enormous surge in the south atlantic for this submarine, a search that involves over 30 ships and aeroplanes and involves a Large International group of countries that have come out to help. So, he wa nted that have come out to help. So, he wanted to give over the idea that he is concerned about criticisms of the family and that the families have had about the way the navy has managed this sort the fair, but that he would not interfere with the search as it is at the moment.

The men from switching either way. What an enthralling second day we had at the gabba. The pendulum has swung, but it has ended with honours pretty much even. Englands begun the day in a decent position, batting really well for an hour and a half, but then it all went wrong.
