A whole lotta albums vinyl sales hit a 25 year high in the era of streaming and downloads. And coming up in the sport on bbc news, swansea city have apointed Bayern Munichs assistant coach paul clement as their new manager, succeeding bob bradley, who was sacked last week. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Britains top diplomat to the European Union has resigned. Sir ivan rogers leaves hisjob just months before the government is due to kick off formal brexit talks. Sir ivan found himself at the centre of a political storm recently when he told ministers a brexit deal could take up to ten years. Leave campaigners accused him of being unduly pessimistic, while others said he was simply reporting sentiment in brussels. Carole walkers in Downing Street. Carole. Thank you, well, sir ivan rogers resignation caught Downing Street and the Foreign Office by surprise. He was due to be our man at the eu until november to see through the first opening phase of those crucial brexit negotiations. But not eve Ryo Ne Brexit negotiations. But not everyone is disappointed at his badge. His departure. Behind the darkened windows, at the Prime Ministers side, as she arrived at last months eu summit, sir ivan rogers tried to keep a low profile. But his warning that it could take the uk ten years to get a new eu trade deal overshadowed what was already a difficult occasion for theresa may. Sir ivan was one of britains most experienced negotiators, he was a key member of David Camerons team when the former Prime Minister tried to get agreement on a new relationship with the eu before the referendum. And some whove worked with sir ivan believe his departure is a real loss to the government. The only way were going to deliver a successful, Workable Brexit is precisely with the expertise of people like ivan rogers, whos now been forced to the margins, forced to the side lines, because of the angry Zeal Of Brexiteers Who just wont accept anyone who says anything different to what they so happen to believe in. But leading Brexit Campaigners are delighted hes gone. Sir ivan is part of the establishment that, frankly, havent accepted the Referendum Result and are hoping that, frankly, it will never happen. Im sorry to say, but the Foreign Office is stuffed full of these people, from top to bottom. For decades, theyve been taking britain in completely the wrong direction, and i hope sir ivans departure is followed by many, many more. In her new years message, the Prime Minister stressed her commitment to getting a brexit deal that works for everyone. For we have made a momentous decision and set ourselves on a new direction. Whoever takes over as the uk representative to the eu will play a critical role. Its important that we have someone in thejob, as sir ivan was doing, and no doubt his successor will do as well, who will report back to the British Government and, through the government to parliament, about what the other Member States are saying and thinking. Because in a Negotiation It really pays to know where the other side is coming from. Theresa may has said shell trigger article 50 by the end of march, and the official line is that sir ivan rogers has decided to leave now so a new appointment can be made before the start of those formal negotiations for britains departure from the eu. Now, whilst Downing Street is determined to convey a positive brexit message, sources who knows sir ivan well, and no brussels well, are concerned that his warnings simply did not fit the narrative so we re simply did not fit the narrative so were dismissed out of hand. And they are concerned that it will be very difficult to find a replacement who knows europe as well as he did, and is prepared to carry through those negotiations to get the sort of deal that Downing Street wants, whilst dealing with those eu leaders. All right, carole, thank you very much. Lets get more on this from oui much. Lets get more on this from our europe correspondent damian grammaticas, who joins us from brussels. Most bus wouldnt have heard of sir ivan rogers or thejob heard of sir ivan rogers or thejob he was doing, how important a role is it . George, it was very important and it will be even more so when those brexit negotiations begin, because the ambassador here is not just an ambassador who hosts dinner parties. The way things work in this town, when the eu has to agree something, ambassadors from 28 countries sit around a table, thrash out the issues, then the ministers and leaders arrive to sign off on the final agreements. And leaders arrive to sign off on the finalagreements. Losing and leaders arrive to sign off on the final agreements. Losing sir ivan at this stage hes a big hole. Now, he had spent the last three yea rs now, he had spent the last three years here doing exactly that, doing David Camerons renegotiation, so his supporters would say that he knows what is politically ozbilen for the uk to achieve. What you heard the other side say is that what the uk needs is an optimist, but in this town the talk about it taking possibly ten years to achieve a trade deal was well known before the referendum, the uk government had said so itself, so there was no surprise about that. But this does leave now theresa may with only a few weeks to find a replacement who knows that they will be in the spotlight, they will be scrutinised, and well be having to take on those brexit negotiations very soon. Damian, thank you very much. West Yorkshire Police were following up information about an illegal weapon when they shot dead a man last night. Yassar yaqub was driving off the m62 slip road at huddersfield when a number of Unmarked Police cars surrounded his vehicle. Police say it was a pre planned operation. Danny savage is at the scene of the shooting. The day after the shooting, and the cars involved remain exactly where they stopped last night. The two dark coloured vehicles and the silver mercedes are Unmarked Police cars. The two white cars are understood to be the target of the operation. As they boxed in the cars and stopped, armed officers were quickly out of their vehicles, and shots were fired. Bullet holes can be seen in the windscreen of a white audi. The keys of the vehicles have today been left on the bonnet of that car. Forensics officers have been examining the scene in detail. What was the exact sequence of events which led to a man being shot dead here . He was yassar yaqub, a 27 year old fatherfrom huddersfield. Eight years go, he was cleared of trying to shoot dead two people. One friend on facebook wrote, you were no angel but did not deserve this. The incident happened just outside huddersfield as the cars came off the M62junction Huddersfield as the cars came off the m62 junction 24. At around six oclock, they drove on to this slip road and were hemmed in by police and broadway stop. Shortly after that, shots were fired and yassar yaqub or shot. At the same time in bradford another vehicle was shot and two people arrested. As the Busy Motorwayjunction was closed down last night, many people were caught up in the chaos. There were these Rapid Response vehicles that kept pulling up, big, large vehicles, then a couple of ambulances turned up. As soon as the ambulance pulled up, some of the policemen ran up and told the ambulance they had to get down as quickly as possible to where the incident took place. It looked like somebody needed Urgent Medical help. At yassar yaqubs family home, armed Police Arrived this afternoon making inquiries. Friends and relatives who were visiting soon left. The operation related to information received about a criminal possession of a firearm, and ive been fully updated by the chief constable. The incident is not terrorism related. The independent Police Complaints commission is now overseeing the investigation. Among the questions theyll be asking are, did mr yaqub pose an imminent threat to life, what was he doing when he was shot, and has any weapon been recovered . And one of those questions from the independent Police Complaints commission has been answered within the last few minutes in a statement from them. They say what appears to bea from them. They say what appears to be a non police issue firearm was discovered in the vehicle in which yaqub was travelling, so in other words a gun was found in the vehicle that he was in. At the Scene Recovery Vehicles have moved in in the last half hour or so to begin taking those cars away. This is still shut, 24 hours on. It wont open until later this evening, causing quite a few traffic problems. But still a long way to go in this investigation. George. Danny, thank you. The main suspect in the new year Terror Attack which left 39 people dead in an istanbul nightclub is still on the run. Turkish police have detained more than a dozen people so far. Our turkey correspondent mark lowen has been into the club where the massacre took place. Three days ago, this place was full ofjoy, of life, of celebration. Today, Reina Nightclub is a crime scene, scarred by terror. We were the first british broadcasters allowed in, briefly. A rare glimpse of where 39 people were killed on new years eve. Imagine the horror as 180 bullets were sprayed here, people jumping into the freezing bosporus to escape. The owners of reina say they will reopen the nightclub. Its a sign of the defiant mood here. Yes, people are sombre, yes, theyre fearful, but turks have lived with the Terror Threat for decades, albeit on a smaller scale, and they re determined not to let it defeat them. Watch the right hand side of this footage from the attack. A manjumps over a low fence outside the nightclub to avoid the bullets. Then the gunman runs up to the door, shooting his way into reina. That man on the right of the video was the nightclub manager, who had a miraculous escape. Translation i felt bullets explode next to me, i threw myself over the fence. The gunman shot from behind, the bullets went centimetres over my head. When i fell, he must have thought he had hit me, so he went inside, and i heard the terrible sounds. New pictures have been released of the suspect, who is still on the run. So called Islamic State called him their brave soldier. Turkish authorities have given no information about him. Overnight, an area of istanbul was raided. Reports say the gunman travelled from there to the nightclub for the attack, but no arrests were made. There have, though, been others detained, including two foreigners at istanbul airport. Its not clear what link, if any, theyre thought to have had with the attack. Those tired of terror went to the scene of the massacre today, a quiet commemoration. Tributes were laid and thoughts gathered about how their country can rebuild and how the next generation can regain a sense of safety. I dont want to cry any more while i am watching the news, you know . It makes me really sad. And i dont want my daughter to grow up in this kind of environment, you know . With this news in the background and everything. I want her to be happy. And so a nervous wait to see if those who protect this country are really closing in on the man who brought horror to new years eve. Mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. A british soldier who died in iraq yesterday has now been named. Lance Corporal Scott hetherington, who was 22 and serving with the 2nd Battalion duke of lancasters regiment, had only recently become a father to a baby girl. Its believed he was killed in an accidental shooting, an investigation is under way. Activity in the uks Manufacturing Sector hit a two and a half year high, according to a survey of Purchasing Managers last month. It found that a weaker pound has helped to boost orders from overseas but that Cost Pressures faced by firms remained high. Another day, another tweet from president elect donald trump. His latest comments on the Social Media Site accused the american car maker General Motors of building vehicles abroad but importing them tax free for sale in the us. Getting Manufacturing Jobs back to the us was a theme he returned to again and again during last years election campaign. Lets get the latest from our north america editor, jon sopel. Jon, he isnt president yet, but already these remarks he makes on twitter, it has peoplejumping. Yeah, if you want to get an example of the new style of politics that will be heralded with the donald trump era, it is this if you are a businessman, politician, diplomat or journalist, the first thing you have to do each morning is checked Donald Trumps twitter feed. This to do each morning is checked Donald Trumps twitterfeed. This morning it was General Motors in the cross hairs with this tweet. General motors is sending mexican made model of chevy cruze to us car dealers across the border, make in usa or pay big border tax. That, of course, left General Motors grumbling for a response, they have pointed out that of 180,000 cars they sell in the us, only 4000 come from mexico, most of the global market, but it has put them on the defensive. And listen to this, ford, the subject of previous aggressive tweet by donald trump, announced today that they are abandoning plans to build a 1. 6 billion plant in mexico and instead are going to create 700 newjobs in michigan. The ceo of ford saying, this is a vote of confidence in Donald Trumps business friendly policies. It seems for the moment that politics by intimidation on twitter is working for mr trump. 0k, jon, thank you very much. A couple in their 50s, who narrowly escaped death after a night in the cairngorm mountains, have been speaking of their ordeal. Bob and cathy elmer, from lincolnshire, were caught out after miscalculating the length of their walk and had to shelter from Blizzard Conditions using a light survival bag. Our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has the story. The brutal conditions of a scottish winter out on the hills, 50 mile an hour winds, freezing temperatures and deep snow. Im not cold, to be honest. Experienced walkers, bob and cathy elmer, had become disorientated in the appalling weather and had realised their only option was to hunker down when their torch failed. The guys in pretty good nick. This the moment Mountain Rescue Teams found them and then guided them to safety. The snow was at times up to our waist. We eventually got out onto the plateau with the intention of trying to find the summit of cairngorm, then my head lamp gave up, so we decided that we couldnt go on any further because we didnt know really where we were going. You couldnt see a hand in front of your face, so we decided to get the Survival Bags out and get down for the night in them. It was a move rescuers believed saved their lives and that of their dog, meg, who had her own separate survival bag. Conditions were arctic and in the area they were, you know, no matter which way they walked there was steep ground there and in the dark, with one head torch and disorientated, it would have been so easy to take a very, very serious tumble. This is one of scotlands highest mountains and conditions further up towards the summit can close in quickly, catching out even the most experienced of climbers. The couples close call underlines just how dangerous Winter Walking can be. We survived. Its like they say, if we hadnt had the right equipment, we wouldnt be here. It is a grim place up there in the wintertime, especially when the conditions change. You know, you can if youre not prepared for it you can seriously run into some serious situations. Willies a very careful driver, hell look after you. The elmers say they will return to the mountains, although they added not to this one, where their new years day walk ended with their dramatic rescue. Lorna gordon, bbc news, cairngorm mountain.
