The International Trade secretary, liam fox, has said there can be no final decisions on the future of the irish border until britain and the European Union have reached a trade agreement. Brussels has given the uk until the 11th december to come up with proposals on the border and other key issues to allow brexit talks to progress to their next phase. Our Political Correspondent chris mason reports. Could this be the giant Sticking Point that stops the brexit talks moving on . The border between Northern Ireland and the republic, what will soon be the frontier between the uk and the eu. Ireland insists it must remain open, almost invisible after brexit, or it could block the talks progressing. But one leading brexiteer in the cabinet said the negotiations need to move forward to discuss the future in order to sort this out. We cannot get a final answer to the irish question until we get an idea of the end state, and until we get into discussions with the European Union on the end state that will be difficult, so the quicker we can do that the better. We are still in a position where the eu doesnt want to do that, and we are getting close 110w to do that, and we are getting close now to 2018 when we will be talking about next year when we leave the European Union. The British Government wants the uk to leave the Customs Union after brexit meaning oui Customs Union after brexit meaning our economy and the eu economy would be governed by different rules. Some say that means it would be impossible not to have a more obvious border, and some. The way to stay the same on the island of ireland posts brexit is for the uk to ta ke ireland posts brexit is for the uk to take their red line off the table, but to stay in the Customs Union and Single Market gives what we have today and invisible border, seamless trade, and it will help build and keep those relationships. Labour says the government needs to be willing to be more flexible. What this government has done is ruled out remaining a member of the Single Market or a member of the Single Market or a member of the Customs Union. That is what they have said very clearly, that they will leave both of those institutions. We have not ruled those of the table. In just over a fortnight, it will be crunch time fortnight, it will be crunch time for the government. Will the eu say yes to talking about the future . What happens along this 310 mile border will be central to how that question is answered. Chris mason, bbc news. Police could be given the power to crack down on the illegal use of drones, as part of proposed new legislation. Owners of devices over a certain size will also be required to register with the authorities and sit Safety Awareness tests. The measures are included in the draft drone bill, which will be published next spring. Joe lynam reports. Once the preserve of enthusiasts, nowadays drones are everywhere. They re cheaper, lighter, and can do a lot more than just hover in the air. Many prototype drones are being developed to work where it might be dangerous for humans. They can fly into water, for example, and propel themselves back out. These drones can be used on oil rigs to fix cables in treacherous conditions. And thats the kind of application that the aviation minister wants industry to tap into. Weve looked at the drones today, which can help in the construction industry, in the mining industry, on offshore oil rigs, and whats really exciting is actually they can do the jobs which actually put people at risk, so hopefully it will help on safety as well. And to prevent drones getting too close to airports and prisons, the proposed drone bill could mean that owners of drones weighing more than 250 grams will need to register and do a test. They will also be banned from flying near airports or higher than 120 metres, or 400 feet. Police will get new powers to seize unmanned aerial vehicles. Dji is one of the biggest drone manufacturers in the world. Could these new rules hit their sales . It could. But we have already implemented many of the things we have seen the government now proposing, so we dont believe that it will. And we believe, as an industry, that anyone flying a drone should take proportionate measures for safety. With the christmas rush well under way, some have predicted that drones will be one of the biggest sellers this winter. Soon, though, new owners wont simply be allowed to open the box and fly them straightaway. Joe lynam, bbc news. Indonesia has put out a red alert and is warning airlines to avoid flying near a volcano on the island of bali. Mount agung has been spewing out smoke and volcanic ash thousands of metres into the sky, and there are fears it could soon erupt for the first time in more than 50 years. The archbishop of york, john sentamu, has resumed wearing his clerical dog collar, ten years after saying he wouldnt wear one until Zimbabwes President Robert Mugabe resigned. In 2007, the archbishop dramatically cut up his old dog collar during a bbc interview. Hes now put on a new one, saying mugabe should apologise for taking a prosperous country to the brink of ruin. Australia are closing in on winning the first ashes test against england. After a small batting collapse, england were bowled out this morning for 195 in their second innings, setting the hosts just 170 to win. The home side finished day four on 114 without loss needing just 56 to complete the victory. Andy swiss reports from brisbane. They left the field knowing victory was just a matter of time. With bat, and earlier with ball, it was australias day, as englands hopes soon faded. Mark stoneman snicking nathan lyon before an action replay, as dawid malan followed suit. Captain joe root got to 50, but no further. The next ball, leg before. Had his teams chances gone with him . Well, not quite, as moeen ali briefly swung the momentum back englands way. But on 40, controversy. Australia thought theyd stumped him, but had they . Anything behind the line, he was ok. It was agonisingly close, but after an age, he was out. Jonny bairstow battled on, but when he swished straight down peter hanscombs throat, the end was nigh. England lost their last four wickets in a flash, and australia needed just 170 to win. England huddled in hope of something special, but it didnt materialise, as Cameron Bancroft and david warner ruthlessly set about the run chase. Both reached half centuries by the close, leaving the visitors demoralised and all but defeated. Yes, a difficult day for england on the pitch and a difficult day off it too. The england and Wales Cricket board say they have spoken tojonny ba i rstow board say they have spoken tojonny bairstow after reports he was involved in an incident in a bar in perth at the start of the tour four weeks ago. The bbc understands he was having a drink in the same bar as the australian player cameron ba ncroft as the australian player Cameron Bancroft when at one point in the evening their heads met although it is understood the players left amicably. The ecb released a statement saying theres been no report of any incident from the venue, security or police and no injury reported, but they say they will follow up with the england management after this test match. With the ongoing controversy surrounding ben stokes, this is not the sort of thing they need right 110w. The sort of thing they need right now. Indeed, thank you very much. Thats it. The next news on bbc one is at 5. 55pm. Bye for now. Hello, you are watching the bbc news channel with me, nicholas owen. As weve been reporting, drones could be banned from flying near airports or above 400 feet under new laws being proposed by the government. Owners would also have to sit Safety Awareness tests, and police would be given greater powers to seize drones, which may have been used in criminal activity. Earlier i spoke to christian struwe, head of european policy at one of the worlds biggest drone manufacturers, dji. We are talking about drones of a certain size, by the way, not the Christmas Present sort of ones. And i also spoke to assistant chief constable Serena Kennedy, the National Police Chiefs Council lead officer on drones. I started by asking her if new laws will make a difference in cracking down on the illegal use of drones. We are keen to work across government with the agencies affected by the misuse of drones to understand how we can implement this legislation and how to make a difference to us in policing. Because we have different extremes. We have people using drones in an anti social way that causes demand for us in terms of policing, but we also have people who are using them for serious criminality. We hope through this legislation is that we can encourage people to own drones responsibly and use them responsibly, so that we can concentrate on those people that are using them in that serious criminal way. In a moment we will talk to an expert about what they can be used for, but from your point of view, particularly when used for direct criminal activity, this is the stuff of Science Fiction a few years ago, but it is a reality you face, isnt it . Were seeing an increased use in drones in a criminal manner, and one of the ways theyre being used is flying items into prison. We hope this legislation will help us tackle this criminality. Lets talk to christian struwe, head of european policy at one of the worlds biggest drone manufacturers, dji. Thank you forjoining us. Drones for many people have come almost from nowhere in a very short time. Its true, you can say the Drone Industry has exploded in the past five years, it has gone from something being specialised for hobbyists to being a high street off the shelf product that is used for many positive uses as well as the more negative ones we hear about. But the negative ones can be serious. Talking to a Police Leader there about criminal use, but there is the business of endangering aeroplanes. Certainly, and nobody wants to see drones being used either for criminal purposes or for endangering aeroplanes. We are building in technology into our drones that allow them to stay away from airfields and dont go into heights where you normally see civil air traffic. Were also working on Different Technology to keep drones out of prison, for instance. You could have a situation where airliners carry anti drone equipment, and perhaps prisons could be protected in some cyber way . That could be one way. Any drone today is equipped with gps, as long as we know the cooridinates of airports and prisons and places we dont want them, we can programme that into drones and they cannot fly into there. If you are determined enough and you are criminal, there are ways around that, but that is where policing comes into it. There are technological advances that can help you as well, but criminals will always try to stay ahead of you . Absolutely, and thats why we have to keep working with industry to stop drones being used in a criminal manner. Do you have experience of people who have sent up drones near aeroplanes, is that generally an accidental thing that happens or are the people trying to do something horribly dangerous . At the moment from my perspective i would say it is people using them in an irresponsible way without understanding the consequences. And thats why we are really keen with this legislation to encourage that responsible ownership and use. You will only get people to sign up for courses who are legitimate, that is always the central problem with this sort of thing. That is the purpose of the consultation period, to understand the impact of the legislation, and how do we police it. The registration in terms of the requirement to register drones in the same way you register your vehicle is a way forward for us to start to tackle this problem. And this industry, the government talked last week about technology and all the things we would want to encourage in this country, it is exploding in the best possible sense. It is. Were seeing countless uses of drones for positive purposes. Unfortunately the only thing that seems to make the headlines is when we see dangerous use of drones. As i said, nobody has the interest of using them for anything negative, so we really want to promote stricter penalties for people who deliberately break laws, as well as encourage everyone who has positive use of drones to speak out about it. If one looks ahead, we have heard about delivery of goods, giants like amazon talking about doing it. Are they actually doing it at the moment in some parts of the world . There are regulatory challenges and technological challenges preventing us from going there yet. Im sure well get there, but it is not right round the corner. That was a representative from one of the big drone manufacturers, and i was speaking to assistant chief co nsta ble i was speaking to assistant chief constable Serena Kennedy as well. The headlines on bbc news. Two fifteen year olds are in Police Custody after five people died when a stolen car crashed in leeds. Drone users will be required to take Safety Awareness tests after a number of near misses with aircraft. Irelands eu commissioner says dublin will play tough to the end over its threat to veto brexit talks moving on to discuss trade. Pakistans government has called on the army to restore order in the capital, islamabad, after violence broke out during protests by islamists. The demonstrators want a government minister, who they accuse of blasphemy, to be sacked. The violence in islamabad has reportedly led to several deaths and around 200 people being injured at faizabad interchange a key highway in the city. Anbarasan ettirajan reports. Islamabad, the capital city of pakistan, turned into a battle zone. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the islamists. But they came prepared and responded with stones and bricks. Several police vans were set on fire. Many injured were taken to hospital. At one point the police had to retreat as hundreds more demonstrators turned up. After failing to disperse the islamists, the government has asked the military to restore order in islamabad. The islamists have been blocking a key highway for weeks, demanding the sacking of a government minister whom they accuse of blasphemy. The protesters are defiant. Translation were protesting against the operation, the cruel action the government is carrying out against the lawful demand regarding our holy prophet made by scholars and our leaders in islamabad. We curse the government, and demand is that the operation should be stopped with immediate effect. As the protests spread, they represent a direct challenge to the governing pakistan muslim league. They also illustrate the governments difficulty in dealing with the gaining popularity of religious extremism among some sections of society. Im joined from islamabad by our correspondent haroon rashid. Thank you forjoining us. What is behind this . What is the offence being caused . Well, you know, pakistan will have general elections next year and as preparations for that, the government with several other Political Parties recently passed some amendments into the electoral laws. One of the laws related to a declaration a candidate makes before contesting elections before the Election Commission in which he declares that he believes in the finality of the prophet muhammad. That declaration was slightly changed, there was a change of wording. Instead of i declare, it was written that i believe. Which created all this uproar. The parliament picked it up quite early and within the week new legislation was passed and business day, which the government says is a clerical mistake, was corrected. But this small religious group which came into being only last year says there was a big agenda behind the change and the minister must go. Any chance he will be dismissed . So far the government has strongly resisted this demand, saying it will open a floodgate of similar demands by other groups which would come to islamabad and start demanding the resignation of ministers. They believe there is a hidden agenda behind this group which wants to dismantle this government, which is already under a lot of pressure is because Prime Minister nawaz sharif had to step down because of corruption allegations and still faces charges. At the moment now that pakistans military for the first time has come into action, the army chief has met the Prime Minister only a couple of hours back and they have decided they will give negotiations another chance, so there is hope that maybe in the coming days the issue would not be central to negotiations. Coming days the issue would not be centralto negotiations. Thank coming days the issue would not be central to negotiations. Thank you, haroon rashid.
