When they were first deployed in the battle of cambrai. A record breaking win against the wallabies scotland beat australia 53 points to 2a in the latest round of rugby union internationals. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The authorities in egypt say gunmen who attacked a mosque during friday prayers killing more than 300 people, were carrying the flag of the Islamic State group. Up to 30 men surrounded the building, opening fire on worshippers including children, in the town of bir al abed in northern sinai. In response, Egyptian Forces have been carrying out air strikes on some militant targets. 0ur middle east correspondent 0rla guerin reports from cairo. Egyptian warplanes take to the skies to target militants in northern sinai. The army says this is a mission to avenge the martyrs. There has been no claim of responsibility, but according to officials the attackers brandished flags of the so called Islamic State. And here one of their many victims in the General Hospital in ismailia. He is 13. He was shot twice in the hand and in the leg. He is not the only victim in his family. In the same ward, his 17 year old cousin, also shot twice, once in the back. His mother is looking to god to punish those who brought such torment. I hope their hearts will be burned just like ours, the women have all become widowed. There are no men left, they are all gone. They are all gone. Then she leaned in to whispered she has been bereaved four times over. Losing her husband, her oldest son, an uncle, and a cousin. She did not want her son to know the death toll. In another ward, we found doctors consoling another man who was praying with his extended family when the attackers struck. He lost two of his brothers and two of their children. There was shooting and people just started running, he told us, some jumped out the window, god saved some of us, but others lost their lives. Among the visitors today, a local leader of the coptic church, christians are regular targets in their places of worship. Now muslims have joined them. More than a0 survivors of the attack were brought to this hospital. The death toll is continuing to climb. Five of those who came here have already lost their lives. Well wishers and relatives are coming and going to try and offer support, and across the country egyptians are struggling to come to terms with this attack. There is grief across the country as the dead are laid to rest. The village of bir al abed, the scene of the attack, has lost a quarter of its men. Tonight, hundreds of families are in mourning. We got the latest earlier from 0rla in cairo. There are fears that egypt may be entering a new phase, in the words of one commentator here, with so many casualties in a single attack, egypt could start to look like another iraq. There are concerns that the military does not have a strategy that can rein in the militants, it has been carrying out a large scale offensive against them in northern sinai for years. As we saw yesterday so tragically those militants have retained notjust the ability to strike but to hit harder than ever. The actress, Emma Thompson, has led a march in north london, to support the british iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, whos beenjailed in iran, accused of trying to overthrow the state. Those taking part have signed a letter urging irans Supreme Leader to release her. Alice hutton reports. If youre happy and you know it clap your hands. Nazanin zaghari ratcliffes favourite song, imprisoned in iran and unable to sing it with her own young daughter, 200 members of her community in West Hampstead in london came out today to form a mums protest. They were joined by local mum and oscar winning actor Emma Thompson, who braved pneumonia to lend her voice to the protests. This is our community and one of her community has been imprisoned without trial, has been separated from her child more or less for 19 months. The situation is desperate. Im not supposed to be out at all, but i said to my doctor, well, i cant not come to speak, because i am free. Together, they marched to the nearby Islamic Centre of england to deliver a letter addressed to the Supreme Leader of iran, calling for nazanins release. Really pleased with that, thank you to our muslim friends in the Islamic Centre of england. One person who did hear the voices was nazanin herself. She rang from prison in iran to thank them for their support, especially her husband, richard. I am so grateful for everyone. Thank you so much. I am so grateful. I dont think i deserve him, to be honest. He has been amazing. Thank you for all your support. Thank you everyone from the bottom and top of my heart, i really feel the love. Nazanin can feel the love, that is the most important thing, thats what keeps us going. With fresh charges and a new court date next month, this is a time of great anxiety for the ratcliffe family. Today was all about local support and showing that nazanin might have dual british iranian citizenship, but it is this community that she calls home. Australia has criticised a proposal for trade after brexit warning that it could limit their 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 there are tariffs on imports coming in from countries like the us, india, canada, china, which are outside the eu. Those charges in effect is to stop countries importing goods too cheaply and harming manufacturing and other industries for countries within the eu. Some goods, such as lamb from new zealand, gets 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 quotas will be divided. With the example of lamb, 60 will go to other eu countries, 40 will come to the uk as it does just now, we will carry on as normal and everyone will be happy, except theyre not. The countries importing those goods say this is a chance for us to import more to the uk. Should the market in the rest of europe fall away, it will be affected for any reason, we are not getting the flexibility and the room to do that, we shouldnt have to have this take it or leave it system. Pakistans government has called on the military to restore order in the capital, islamabad, after running battles between police and islamist protesters. The Police Reportedly retreated after hundreds more demonstrators turned up unexpectedly. Activists have been blocking a major road for weeks, demanding the sacking of a government minister they accuse of blasphemy. Detectives in belfast have released on bail a 20 year old woman, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three men were stabbed in the city. 0ur correspondant in belfast gordon adair had this update. It is not immediately clear what happened in this house last night. It is in north belfast, about quarter to one this morning the police were called to a disturbance at a house and when they got there they found a man in his 20s who had been stabbed in the head. A short time later and a short distance away they found two more men who had also been stabbed, one of them in the stomach, he required abdominal surgery, another one had a head injury and had been stabbed in the neck. It is not immediately clear what happened. 0ne neighbour has been describing to us how she tried to comfort one of the men who was clearly seriously injured. Ijust heard a noise, i looked out the bedroom window and there were a few fellows and a girl and i noticed down the street that there was another four or so climbing out through the window. 0ne looked as if his stomach was hurtand he said, i think i need an ambulance. I came out after they went up the street and went over to check on ryan and called him and he came to the window plastered in blood. Our understanding is that man, the first man found in the house, required Something Like 50 stitches. The woman who was arrested, she was 20, she was questioned on suspicion of attempted murder. She has been released pending further police enquiries. The former Television Presenter john leslie has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in an edinburgh nightclub. The 26 year old woman was on a hen night when the alleged incident took place in the tollcross area of the city. Police scotland say theyve charged a 52 year old man following an incident at the atik nightclub in june. Two men have been interviewed by detectives, after an altercation at Oxford Street tube station in Central London yesterday, it created mass panic. Sixteen people were hurt in a rush to leave the area, after reports after reports of gunshots. Investigators now say theres no evidence weapons had been fired. The democratic unionist leader, arlene foster, has reiterated her opposition to any brexit deal that would give Northern Ireland a special status in relations with the eu, different from the rest of the uk. She told delegates at the partys annual conference that the uk joined the eu as one nation and would leave as one. 0ur correspondent chris page has been at the conference. Arlene foster has finished her keynote address to the dup. She said there is a lot of attention on the dup because of their pact with the conservatives at westminster. They are making up the numbers and giving theresa may a working majority in parliament. There was plenty of focus on what is happening in london and brussels as well as in belfast. She had a focus on that most important issue of these times, that is brexit. We want our border to remain open for people to move freely north and south for work, for education and as tourists. We want to see continued trading across the border in the economic interests of our two countries. I also said that any exit deal must recognise the reality of our geography and of history and we wanted to get the best deal for Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom as a whole. We want a sensible brexit, a brexit that works for Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom. However, we will not support any arrangements that create barriers to trade between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. Or any suggestion that Northern Ireland, unlike the rest of the uk, will have to mirror european regulations. I have written to the heads of government of each of the eu 27 member states, setting out our views. Mrs foster rejecting suggestions that have been made by the Irish Government that the way to solve the problem around how to keep the border and the republic in its present state, a border that is invisible with no checkpoints, is for Northern Ireland to remain in the European Customs Union or to continue to follow the rules and regulations of the European Customs Union. She has been very clear her party will not accept any arrangement which would set Northern Ireland apart from the rest of the uk and create a trade barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. She says it is great britain, england, scotland and wales, that is Northern Irelands most important trading market. She had a message for sinn fein with the continuing deadlock at stormont. She said the party is up for respect, thats what sinn fein is calling for, but the crux of the continuing problems, she has called for sinn fein to respect british culture, which would be important to unionists. She has said over the issue of the Legal Protection for the Irish Language, she respects those who speak the Irish Language and has indicated she is prepared to legislate to protect the Irish Language, but only if there is parallel legislation to protect cultural elements which are more unionist, the ulster scots language for example. Whenever she has raised these points before, sinn fein have rejected them. No movement with regards to the dups negotiating position towards devolution at stormont. Mrs foster has made it clear despite the dups position at westminster, she is committed to getting stormont back up and running if the deal is right.

Bangladesh is warning Rohingya Muslim refugees returning to myanmar that theyll initially have to live in temporary camps because most of their villages have been burnt down. The arrangement is likely to cause concern in the un, which is already warning about the dangers of returning the rohingya to confinement and ghettos. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in myanmar, they accuse the Myanmar Military of carrying out mass killings, rape and setting fire to their homes. The myanmar government denies the accusations. Today, there are more than 600,000 refugees living in camps like this one. But the governments of bangladesh and myanmar now have an agreement for their return. Translation the returnees will be taken to the 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 repatration process in a reasonable time. After a verification process, the displaced rohingya will be taken back. 0ur priority is to ensure their safe return to their homeland with honour, we are aiming for that. The arrangement will cause concern at the un which has already warned of the dangers of returning the rohingya to confinement and ghettos. Many of the issues that forced the rohingya to flee in the first place remain unaddressed. Some refugees say they do not want to return unless they get citizenship in myanmar. I cannot trust the myanmar government. If the International Community promises to keep us safe and if there are people there to protect us, we will go. If they send us back without this guarantee, we will be persecuted again. Rights groups say the idea that myanmar will allow the rohingya back with open arms is wishful thinking. It is also not clear whether the Myanmar Military will agree to this deal. For now, these Rohingya Muslims continue to face an uncertain future. Its been revealed that a child sex offender evaded the authorities for seven years, by hiding at a monastery on an island off the coast of pembrokeshire. Paul ashton used a fake name while he lived at the Cistercian Abbey on caldey island. Last year, the abbey paid compensation to several women who alleged theyd been abused by a monk in the seventies and eighties. Teleri glynjones reports. Caldey island, a peaceful haven. Separate from the world and its pressures. A sanctuary and a place to hide. In 2004, paul ashton came to caldey calling himself robertjudd, the monks give him a home and he lived in the clocktower of the abbey, they fed him and he worked there. A source said he put himself in an ideal position and operated the islands phone system, the computers, he even did the accounts and worked in the post room. But in 2011, he was brought to justice after a visitor recognised him from the crimestoppers most wanted list. His cover was blown and he was arrested by Sussex Police who found more indecent images on his computer at the abbey. Seven years after he fled from police, ashton who was 59 at the time pleaded guilty to possessing over 5000 indecent images of children. He was jailed for 30 months. Caldey abbey havent responded to our request for a comment. It emerged last week that six women had been paid compensation after being abused by Thaddeus Kotik on the island. Since then, a further five women had said kotik abused them. I would urge everyone to come forward if theyve had any experiences oi if they have heard of things happening on caldey. So that we can have an understanding of whether this is confined to one or two individuals or if this was a pattern going on on the island at the time. Dyfed powys police werent made aware of the allegations against kotik until 2014. 22 years after his death. The current abbot brother daniel has apologised that the allegations werent referred to police sooner. Todays revelations that a sex offender evaded justice here for seven years raised more questions about this secretive island. 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 insurance premiums will rise. 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 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. The president of argentina has ordered an investigation into what happened to a submarine that disappeared more than a week ago. Relatives of the 44 crew members of the san juan say theyve lost any hope of seeing them alive again. The navy says it believes there was an explosion close to its last known location. Aaron safir reports. Above the atlantic ocean, the search continues for the ara sanjuan and its 44 crew members. It is a huge multinational operation with more than one dozen countries involved, but so far the search has revealed no clues. Even as more sophisticated equipment arrives in argentina, it is all but officially acknowledged that any hope of finding the crew alive has gone. Speaking at the headquarters of the argentine navy, the president ordered an investigation, promising the submarine would be found in the coming days. Translation meanwhile, until we have all the information, we should not seek to find culprits, to find those responsible. First, we have to know with certainty what happened and why it happened. But neither he nor the navy has said if they think the crew has died. At the base where the submarine was supposed to arrive, the families have come to that conclusion themselves. Translation my son and the other 42 boys, and the girl, are no longer with us. Evaluating responsibilities is ridiculous. My only wish is to know what happened and to learn the truth. The navy and the president has been accused of mismanagement from the start. The vessel reported an electircal breakdown in its last communication more than one week ago. That news was not made public for days. And only on thursday did the navy confirm that there had been a sound consistent with an explosion shortly after that last contact. There have also been questions about the condition of the submarine. The weather in the search area is improving, meaning scans of the ocean floor can begin. A russian ship with mini submarines is also on its way. The search will continue. But for the families and friends waiting on land, and for a nation demanding to know how Something Like this could happen, all that can be done is wait. They were called the dreadnoughts of the trenches. They changed the face of modern warfare. 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 commemorate those who died. Robert halljoined the crowds paying their respects. 0n 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. 0ne 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 were 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. Phil avery has the weather. Thank you. Not just for some thank you. Notjust for some it has been chilly, but pretty much for all. Whether you saw the sunshine or not. Pictures coming in today. It looks glorious and us, but decidedly chilly. You needed a few layers. Some of you will have needed something waterproof, plenty of showers across northern and western areas. They have been urged along by areas. They have been urged along by a noticeable north westerly wind. At its strongest across the north east and quarter of scotland, getting on and quarter of scotland, getting on a deal, if not severely here. Using with time overnight, but some shareware is keeping ongoing, given the temperature, some of use are not far off that value. Watch out her eyes first thing, we have had that run of showers overnight, because of that temperature profile that could bea that temperature profile that could be a bit ofa that temperature profile that could be a bit of a problem. A bright enough start for scotland, Northern Ireland has macleod, and still bad run of showers. The always run down the irish sea, coming into liverpool and the midlands. A lot of fine and sunny weather, a little bit more temperate into the south western pa rt temperate into the south western part of wales. The odd shower, likely to continue throughout the day. The cloud willjust thicken up asa day. The cloud willjust thicken up as a set of fronts moving from the atlantic, having the effect of backing the winds over into a state west. That just takes backing the winds over into a state west. Thatjust takes off backing the winds over into a state west. That just takes off some backing the winds over into a state west. Thatjust takes off some of cutting feel of the wind when it comes in from the cold north westerly direction. Here comes the rain associated with this weather friends down and across many parts of the british isles. Into monday, a lot of mild air, relatively speaking this isnt any a heat wave. But what it will do is give a slightly milder start to the week. But then it will turn much colder with a really biting north, north easterly wind. This is relatively mild air, in the circulation there is a big area of low pressure. Some fevered few get the two bridges to double figures. But once i get that system out of the way and park it over towards the dann area and bring a High Pressure in from the atlantic, that stopped the flow of more mild air coming in from the west and the atlantic and it all comes down straight from the arctic and those isobars are quite tightly packed, hands cold and a biting wind, midweek. See you later. Hello. This is bbc news. The headlines as the country mourns egyptians Officials Say the Islamic State flag was carried by gunman who attacked a mosque in sinai which left more than 300 people dead.
