criticised a proposal for trade after brexit, warning that it could limit access to the uk markets. it's 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. the dup leader arlene

england and wales has jumped 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. it's believed the number of incidents of vandalism could be even higher, with many motorists not claiming for damage because they fear they're insurance premiums going up. richard lister reports. it's an infuriating problem for motorists and it's 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. that's up 10% since 2013 but the increase in hertfordshire and in west yorkshire was 25%, while greater manchester 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 won't report a small incident of vandalism and certainly won't 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 that's not available, the advice is to find well—lit, unobtrusive spaces to avoid the vandals. 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. 0n the terrace lawn of the cambrai memorial, today's tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds of a new military family. in november 1917, the early tank men armed into over 400 lumbering machines, for the largest tank attack ever mounted. inside the metal hulls, ci’ews 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. it's 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. deborah's crew were buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks advanced further and faster than anyone imagined. but the bravery and 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. with all the sport, here's holly hamilton at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. first to brisbane, where england have a slim lead after day three of the opening ashes test — but it was australia who really turned up the heat. after a century from captain steve smith, his bowlers took two quick wickets in the final hour. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss was watching at the gabba. after a bad start to the ashes, was this the day that pendulum finally swung? it edged tantalisingly towards england, shaun marsh one of a cluster of early wickets, but they couldn't shift australia's rock. steve smith had notjust a century but a batting masterclass. that's what it needs to rescue your team and he guided australia into the lead, and when their innings finally ended, australia were 26 ahead and smith 141 ended, australia were 26 ahead and smith 1111 not out, cheered to the rafters. now for england's openers to steady the ship or not, i hope from alastair cook. it didn't get any better in a torrid final session. australia's pacemen piled on the pressure. a horrible moment forjoe root, on the pressure. a horrible moment for joe root, thankfully on the pressure. a horrible moment forjoe root, thankfully unhurt. he clung on to the close but england are up against it. a bit disappointed to win two wickets but it could have been a lot worse. it was just it could have been a lot worse. it wasjust proper it could have been a lot worse. it was just proper theatre, proper test match cricket, fast bowling, batsmen playing well. tomorrow will be slightly different. a day which began so promisingly for england has ended with them under huge pressure. after two days of local pegging, it's now australia with the upper hand. qualifying is under way for the final race of the formula one season, the abu dhabi grand prix. world champion lewis hamilton is looking for the 73rd pole position of his career, after he broke the track record earlier for the second day in a row in final practice. english golfer tommy fleetwood said he wasn't at the hong kong 0pen just for a party, after winning the race to dubai last week. he flew up the leaderboard in the third round with a 66 — that took him to eight—under—par, two shots off the lead. scotland's women have won gold at the european curling championships in switzerland. skipper eve muirhead led her team to a 6—3 victory over sweden. scotland's men will try to match that feat this afternoon — they also take on sweden in theirfinal. mica mcneill and mica moore have responded brilliantly to losing their funding from british bobsleigh. they finished fifth in the world cup event at whistler in canada — the best result for a british women's duo for over eight years. the pair were only able to compete on the circuit this year by raising more than £30,000 through crowdfunding. the rugby union autumn internationals continue this afternoon, with all four home nations in action. pick of the games looks to be wales against new zealand in cardiff. wales haven't beaten the all blacks for 64 years and head coach warren gatland thinks they'll be as tough a side as ever today. i don't think the all blacks are not dangerous, they know it's the last game of the tour, they will have had a bit of criticism from last week but the undefeated on this tour and they know how to win and to grind out performances and they know how to come back. and that match is live on bbc two, kick off at 5:15pm — next on bbc one, you can watch all the highlights of an incredible rugby league world cup semifinal between england and tonga. but for the moment, that's all the sport. back to you. the next news on bbc one is at 5:45pm. bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. 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 ratcliffe's neighbourhood in north west london urging iran's 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. she's losing her mental health and physical health quite quickly now, so this is a desperate and urgent situation, which is why i'm not supposed to be out at all but i said to my doctor, i can't not come to speak because i'm free, i'm free, i've 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, everyone can imagine that, but when you have had children, it's unspeakable, so we are appealing as a community, not as the apparatus of state 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 he's 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, it's 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 can't 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 don't 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 we've been in this situation before with people who have been kidnapped, we know what it's like, it's a very bad situation. emma thompson there. let's look at the headlines. police say they want to speak to two men after ‘an altercation' on a tube platform sparked mass panic in central london. the actress emma thompson joins a demonstration in north—west london in support of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman jailed in iran. there's 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 24 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 didn't 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. some news that has just come in from police scotland, the former tv presenterjohn leslie has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in an edinburgh nightclub. the 52—year—old who presented wheel of fortune and blue peter is alleged to have put his hand up the skirt of a 26—year—old woman who was on a hen night when the incident took place atan night when the incident took place at an event to mark the club's reopening in june this at an event to mark the club's reopening injune this year. police in edinburgh have charged a 52—year—old man following a report that a 26—year—old woman was the victim in this assault in a nightclub on sunday 26th ofjune. detectives in belfast have arrested a woman on suspicion of attempted murder after three men were stabbed. police officers reporting to a disturbance found a man with stab wounds in his head and two other men we re wounds in his head and two other men were found a quarter of a mile away. all of the men are 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 were also arrested. let's get more now on that incident at oxford circus in central london yesterday. two underground stations were evacuated by police who initially responded as if a terror attack was under way. 16 people were hurt in a rush to leave the area yesterday evening. armed officers had been called following reports of gunshots but investigators say there was no evidence that weapons were fired and that bond street was evacuated because of overcrowding. we found out a bit more about the psychology of crowds in these situations by speaking to an expert in the crowd psychology of this sort of behaviour. our research on crowd behaviour has found panic is not a useful term to describe what happens in these situations because if you're in a threat and you have no outside information, to flee what could be a life—threatening danger is not panic but a political thing to do. in part shaped by the series of incidents people have experienced or heard about or seen on tv, not just this year but now for a series of years in the cities. absolutely, and london has seen three major terror incidents this year so it could be argued it is quite a credible threat to hear there was gunshots that has later shown not to be true, but that could be a credible threat and so the logical response is to flee that source. we are adopting our behaviour based on other information, notjust the immediate information around us. what would be the added influence of social media? it creates a new dynamic which we are interested in looking at in more detail, and i saw 0lly murs has been vilified for tweeting that he was in selfridge's and heard gunshots, but that information was available to him at hand and he didn't know any better. the authorities should be providing as much information as possible and unfortunately there is often a fear that if they provide information it will cause panic, and we say to get people to evacuate effectively they need as much information as possible about the situation and i understand an automatic tannoy announcement was generated, which is a bit impersonal. it's better to have people on the ground providing accurate information, for example there has been a fight here, move along, and in the absence of that, it is not surprising that rumours can circulate. i remember being on the tube in 2005 at the time of the underground explosion. i was on another line. in the absence of information there were various announcements like that there was a power outage. it's a difficult balance of what you tell people until you are certain what is going on. how should those announcements be phrased and do we give them the same credence we once did now we have alternative sources of information like signals on mobile phones in places that would have been impossible before? the crucial thing is not just information but the relationship the recipient has with the sender, so people need to believe the information but an improvement would be rather than automatically generated announcements, have named people introduce themselves on the tannoy, saying this is so—and—so and this is what you need to do. that would create a better relationship of trust between the public and the source of the announcement and make them more likely to follow up on that. do you think we as users of social media need to think more about how we use information we have? a lot of this is about information being passed on second—hand or third hand. yes, and the media has a role to play in responsibly providing information. a bugbear that my colleagues and i have is that the media should not use the words panic or stampede to describe these situations, first because they are not accurate and second, they provide a narrative that crowds cannot be trusted to behave in this situation and our research suggests that crowds can behave better in these situations than they are given credit for if they are given information to act appropriately to keep themselves and their family safe. it's all square in tennis' davis cup final between france and belgium this weekend, but if you're 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 you're 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 it's 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 that's non—stop. it's a mental challenge keeping up with what you're meant to be doing at first. my turn again. i think it'sjust great. it's running with a bit of tennis in the middle. how has it transformed your fitness and your life? i've probably lost a stone since september. it just adds another aspect to it. i like chasing after a ball. in tennis you have a 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 don't need to be any good at tennis, you don't need to be particularly fit, it's for people of all tennis abilities and fitness abilities because often the outcome of the shot is irrelevant, it doesn't matter if you hit the ball in the net you hit the ball on the back fence, you just keep running around. it's an effective full body workout. unlike a spin class where you're just working the lower half of your body, you're up high, you're down low. there is a competitive element for this as well in that it's not singles or doubles but quadruples, four on each team and you keep swapping positions. it's crazy. you just feel like a child again. gets the heart rate up. always running around and getting good exercise regardless of what level you're at. you meet so many more people and you're on the go all the time, you don't 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, there's no shame because our fitness is the only real winner. he's been called the real—life iron man. no, not mike bushell, this is another man. richard browning set a guinness world record last month for flying in the suit and was showing it at media city in salford yesterday. browning spent £40,000 building thejet pack, and it hits speeds of 32 miles per hour. he hopes to inspire students to follow a career in engineering. if we had one here i could go up onto the balcony but in sped through the magic of tv we can head up to join susan powell at the map. it was very cold when i came in this morning, how is it looking for the rest very cold when i came in this morning, how is it looking for the rest of very cold when i came in this morning, how is it looking for the rest of the very cold when i came in this morning, how is it looking for the rest of the country? very cold when i came in this morning, how is it

the rest of the country? it's still cold out there now. for many there is plenty of sunshine, even though it feels chilly, but for some there has been quite a few showers and you can see where they are where we have the white satellite picture, where we have had showers across north west england and wales and the midlands, but wintry showers are mostly confined to the highlands. a lot of sunshine but with the north—westerly wind and highs of eight at best it will feel chilly. widespread frost overnight, more showers to the north and west so that could mean some ice first thing on sunday. similar to today, a mixture of sunshine and showers at a slightly lighter wind, few were showers towards the west as the day pans out but a little more cloud in the afternoon. still feeling chilly, top temperatures of seven 01’ feeling chilly, top temperatures of seven or eight, perhaps with a lighter wind it will feel slightly less raw. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: after a massacre at a mosque kills 300, the egyptian military carries out air strikes on islamist militants.
