Almost blowing their 20 point lead in the last eight minutes of the match to reach their first final in over 20 years. And coming up how two entrepreneurs are improving the Emergency Response in nairobi. Thats in click at 3. 30. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. More than 300 people are now known to have been killed byjihadists in a mosque in egypt. Air strikes have been carried out against suspected supporters of the group that calls itself islamic state. The Authorities Say up to 30 armed men were involved in yesterdays attack. From cairo, sally nabil sent this report. Confusion, chaos and despair. Here, the closest city to sinai, people gathered outside a hospital where many of the victims lie, hoping for some good news. Residents rushed to donate blood to save as many lives as possible. Some of the wounded made it but others are gone. Inside the hospital, eyewitnesses have harrowing stories to tell. Translation they entered the mosque from outside, ten or 20 people with weapons, and they destroyed everything. Some were wounded but many more were killed. Some of the wounded have been brought to this hospital in cairo. Many are in a Critical Condition and cameras are not allowed inside. Many bereaved families have buried loved ones overnight. There is a deep sense of anger and shock here and some social media users described the attack as a genocide. This is where hundreds of lives have been lost, including nearly 30 children. An explosion followed by an unprecedented massive armed assault on defenceless worshippers who werejust going to friday prayers. Military forces responded by air strikes, said to have targeted a number of vehicles with militants in them, but many wonder if the iron fist strategy is good enough. Is affiliated jihadists have been operating in sinai for a couple of years. In 2015, they downed a russian plane in the red sea resort of sharm el sheikh, killing more than 200 people on board. Last december, they bombed a church in the heart of cairo. Their common target has been military troops and christian families but this is their first time to change tactics and shoot at their fellow muslims inside a mosque. Two men have been interviewed by detectives after an altercation at a Central London tube station created mass panic on friday. The men, aged 21 and 40, attended a Police Station voluntarily following an appeal. 16 people were treated after they were injured fleeing Oxford Circus station. Armed officers were called following reports of gunshots but investigators now say there is no evidence weapons had been fired. Dr Chris Cocking is an expert in the social psychology of crowd behaviour from the university of brighton. He says that the availability of social media may have led to the scenes of fear we saw yesterday in Central London. 0lly murs, for example, who has nearly 8 million followers on twitter, was vilified for tweeting that he was in selfridges and heard gunshots. To be fair, in that situation, he did not know any better at that time. The crucial thing is that to avoid false rumours circulating on social media, the authorities should be providing as much honest information as possible about the incident. Unfortunately, in these situations, there is often the fear that if they provide information of the threat, it causes panic. We say it is the opposite. To get people to evacuate effectively, they need as much information as possible about the situation. I understand in this situation, an automatic tannoy announcement was generated, which is a bit impersonal and faceless. We would say it would be better to have people on the ground providing accurate information. To say, there has been a fight here, move along the platform. In the absence of that, it is perhaps not unsurprising that rumours can and do circulate. 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 has been leading a march of families from mrs ratcliffes neighbourhood in north west london, urging irans leader to reunite nazanin with her husband and three year old daughter gabriella. 0ur correspondent, alice hutton, has been talking to supporters including Emma Thompson at the march. Shes losing her Mental Health and physical health quite quickly now, so this is a very desperate and urgent situation. Which is why. Im not supposed to be out at all but i said to my doctor, the i cant not come to speak because im free, im free. Ive never appreciated my freedom more, imagining the situation of this woman. To be separated from your child when your child is only three is a terrible thing. Not that everyone cant imagine more that, they can, but when you have had children, its unspeakable. So we are appealing as a community, not as the apparatus of state you or anything sinister, but as a community of feeling, empathic human beings for clemency and mercy in this case. There is nothing to punish, she has done nothing, let her come home to herfamily and let it be over for her. And i think borisjohnson should and absolutely could get on a plane to do what hes paid for. You said that the politicians were angry molecules in your speech to the crowd. What are you hoping to push them into action . Concern for human beings, its high in the lip service of this government but not high on the agenda. At the moment, there is no government because of the b word, i cant even say it, so this is a very specific case that can help them to evince a real feeling for the people of this country by caring very specifically for one person who has suffered untold, untold torture. And we dont know how deep the suffering has gone. When she comes back, we will have to be able to offer her a raft of services. And weve been in this situation before with people who have been kidnapped, we know what its like, its a very bad situation. The actress, Emma Thompson. Australia has criticised a proposal for trade after brexit, warning that it could limit access to the uk markets. Its been suggested that britain and the eu should split existing quotas on the amount of goods from around the world that can be imported without incurring full tariffs. Australia is one of several countries that britain is hoping to make deals with when it leaves the eu. As our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake explains. How things work at the moment is their tariffs on imports coming in from countries like the us, canada, china, outside the eu. There are charges to stop countries importing too many goods too cheaply and harming manufacturing and other industries in the countries within the eu. Certain goods from certain countries, if we use land from new zealand, for example, get a slightly reduced rate. Tariff rate quotas, which allows a certain amount of particular goods to be imported at a reduced rate. The plan is for when we leave the eu for that to continue. But the quoats will be divided. So with the example of lamb, 60 to other eu countries, 40 to the uk as it does at the moment and we will carry on as normal and everyone will be happy. But they are not. The countries exporting those things say, hang on, this is a chance to import more to the uk should the market in the rest of the eu be affected. But we are not getting the flexibility to do that. So we should not have this take it or leave it system. Potentially, how important all this be for uk trade . It could be very important because as we leave the eu, we need to strike new free trade agreements with countries like australia, new zealand, the us, brazil and so forth. Because at the moment, most of the trade is done through the eu in the Single Market trading zone. The fact that these countries are already making angry noises about the plans the uk and eu want to put in place is significant because it affect the negotiations between the uk and other countries, specifically australia, saying that this is a point of principle. It depends on how you look at it. 0ne argument is this is the country getting in early in what will be a long and complicated trade negotiation to get the best deal you can. Detectives in belfast have arrested a 20 year old woman on suspicion of attempted murder after three men were stabbed. Police officers responding to reports of a disturbance at a house in the north of the city early this morning found a man in his 20s with stab wounds to his head. A short time later, two other men, who had also been stabbed, were found about a quarter of a mile away. All three are said to be in a stable condition in hospital. A heathrow security worker is among four people who have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in importing cocaine from colombia. The man was arrested along with a colombian man in a toilet at the airport. Two other men have also been arrested. Theres 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. Our Home Affairs Correspondent danny shaw reports. Prisons can be harsh, depressing and 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 where 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 didnt 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.

The arrangement will cause concern in the un, which has already warned of the dangers of returning the rohingya to confinement and ghettos. Bangladeshs foreign minister says aid agencies will be involved in the repatriation process. Translation the returnees will be taken to their original lands or wherever they want to live. In the primary stages, they will stay in temporary camps. The two sides have agreed to complete the repatriation process in a reasonable time. After a verification process, the displaced rohingya will be taken back. Our priority is to ensure their safe return to their homeland with honour. We are aiming for that. The headlines on bbc news.

More football than rugby but askew fish kill you scored two tries in quick sensation going into half time. The aussies had a man sent off. Scotland have a chance to respond in the second half. Agony for tonga but utter relief for england. They fight back to reach the Rugby League World cup final. Australias fast bowlers have england on the back foot as they seize the initiative in the first ashes test match. I will have more of those stories later on. Have been hospitalised after a fire swept through a hotel in a georgian resort town. More than 100 people were forced to evacuate the hotel in batumi, a port city on the black sea coast. Georgina smyth reports. Georgias resort city of batumi now the scene of a tragic hotel fire. Emergency vehicles surrounded entrance to the 22 story hotel and casino win at least 12 people died from inhaling smoke fumes from the fire inside. Another ten are being treated for injuries. Ten people we re treated for injuries. Ten people were hospitalised, mostly with smoke inhalation injuries. They are all in a stable condition. Among those being treated after the turkish people and an israeli. But there is no wonder the nationalities of those that lost their lives. More than 100 guests and employees had to be evacuated as the blaze took cold. Old. The regional interior minister said the incident sparked a response from emergency services, with 16 fire engines and 100 fire engines attending the scene. Members of the public as well as reporters remained outside the hotel overnight, eager for information. But it is not yet clear what started the fire. Take up of the governments tax free child care scheme has been far lower than expected. Figures from the office for budget responsibility show that only a small proportion of the money set aside by the government this year has been claimed by parents. The full launch of the scheme was put on hold earlier this month because of technical difficulties with the website used to register. 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. Its believed the number of incidents of vandalism could be even higher, with many motorists not claiming for damage because they fear their insurance premiums going up. Richard lister reports. Its an infuriating problem for motorists and its 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. Thats 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 get an effective repair. But we also feel it is probablyjust the tip of an iceberg as many people wont report a small incident of vandalism and certainly wont make an insurance claim. In this area near luton airport, holiday makers who had parked in residential streets to avoid airport car parks had an unwelcome surprise when they returned. Paying for secure parking would have been cheaper, and if thats not available, the advice is to find well lit, unobtrusive spaces to avoid the vandals. Richard lister, bbc news. Its been over two decades since england appeared in a Rugby League World cup final, but after a nerve shredding showdown with tonga, Wayne Bennetts side will now face australia in next saturdays showpiece. But what a semi final it was 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 tongas town. This stadium can hold a quarter of the nation, but england found an early break through the pacific wave. Wing play in this sport is about timing and Jermaine Mcgillivray is rarely late. A try for him for the tenth straight england match. By half time, they had it under control. The team looked safe and sound and John Batemans third score looked to have sealed it. Englands try. Its looking now as if though will be england in the semifinal. But the drama was just beginning. Tongas fans sing hymns 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 englands Cruise Control became survival instinct. Tonga trauma overcome, it is australia next for the title. Its all square in tennis davis cup final between france and belgium this weekend, but if youre 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. Mike bushell has been getting 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 youre 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 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 its 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 thats non stop. Its a mental challenge keeping up with what youre meant to be doing at first. My turn again. I think itsjust great. Its running with a bit of tennis in the middle. How has it transformed your fitness and your life . Ive probably lost a stone since september. It just adds another aspect to it. I like chasing after a ball. In tennis, you have to 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 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 of a doubles contest. You dont need to be any good at tennis, you dont need to be particularly fit, its for people of all tennis abilities and fitness abilities because often the outcome of the shot is irrelevant, it doesnt matter if you hit the ball in the net or you hit the ball into the back fence, you just keep running around. Its an effective full body workout. Unlike a spin class, where youre working the lower half of your body, youre up high, youre down low. There is a competitive element for this as well in that its not singles or doubles but quadruples, four on each team and you keep swapping positions. Its crazy. You just feel like a child again. Gets the heart rate up. Always running around and getting good exercise regardless of what level youre at. You meet so many more people and youre on the go all the time, you dont 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, theres no shame because our fitness the only real winner. They were called the dreadnoughts of the trenches. 100 years after the first tanks were deployed, in the battle of cambrai in the first world war, members of the royal tank regiment have returned to the french town to mark the loss of life there. Robert halljoined the crowds paying their respects. On the terrace lawn of the cambrai memorial, todays tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds of a new military family. In november 1917, the early tank men clambered into over 400 lumbering machines for the largest tank attack ever mounted. Inside the metal hulls, ciews we re ove 1120 m e by heat and exhaust fumes. Many tanks broke down. 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 back in 1998 and began the task of preserving her. Today, deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost. It is simply a love story. Its a love story which has started when first i met a lady who let me know that she knows a place where a tank was buried. Deborahs crew are buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks advanced further and faster than anyone imagined. 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. He has been called the real life iron man and has blasted into the record books with his self builtjet engine parachute. Richard browning set the Guinness World records last month for flying set the Guinness World records last month forflying in set the Guinness World records last month for flying in the suit and was showing it at media city in salford yesterday.
