Investigators into the EgyptAir plane crash say smoke was detected

:00:00.:00:00.

in different parts of the cabin minutes before it disappeared.

:00:00.:00:11.

Images have been released of items found during the search

:00:12.:00:13.

The search for the plane's black box is ongoing as investigators

:00:14.:00:25.

try to establish what exactly brought the plane down.

:00:26.:00:27.

Also on tonight's programme: Labour sets

:00:28.:00:29.

out its plans for the economy with a pledge to distribute

:00:30.:00:31.

And, how this stunning goal won the FA Cup for Manchester United.

:00:32.:00:44.

But winning wasn't enough to save Louis Van Gaal.

:00:45.:00:47.

He's to be replaced by Jose Mourinho.

:00:48.:01:06.

French investigators into the EgyptAir plane crash say

:01:07.:01:12.

smoke was detected in different parts of the cabin just minutes

:01:13.:01:14.

It's still not known what caused the tragedy which saw 66

:01:15.:01:21.

Today, the Egyptian military released images of items found

:01:22.:01:26.

during the search for wreckage in the Mediterranean Sea,

:01:27.:01:28.

including life vests and parts of the aircraft.

:01:29.:01:31.

This report from our transport correspondent Richard Westcott.

:01:32.:01:35.

The remains of the Egyptian flight are being picked from the sea.

:01:36.:01:37.

Laid out on the deck of a nearby ship.

:01:38.:01:40.

Foam that was once part of someone's seat.

:01:41.:01:46.

There are seat-belts and other debris, clearly carrying

:01:47.:01:48.

Here, someone's handbag and a solitary shoe.

:01:49.:01:54.

On one side, a life-vest, clearly unused.

:01:55.:01:57.

None of the 66 on board stood a chance.

:01:58.:02:00.

Yet the biggest clue so far wasn't from the sea, it's

:02:01.:02:04.

Automatic computer messages sent back to base.

:02:05.:02:10.

Simple words but they paint the picture of a catastrophic

:02:11.:02:12.

Although we can't be sure, this appears to be how the fire unfolded.

:02:13.:02:19.

Everything's happening near the cockpit.

:02:20.:02:25.

At 12.26, a warning goes off that one of the front

:02:26.:02:28.

Then in this bay right underneath the pilots.

:02:29.:02:37.

It's a critical area, full of electronic equipment.

:02:38.:02:40.

A minute after that, there is another warning.

:02:41.:02:42.

Finally, a number of computer systems collapse.

:02:43.:02:51.

Everything happens over the space of a few minutes.

:02:52.:02:54.

One of the world's leading experts on plane fires told

:02:55.:02:57.

The timeline that we are seeing so far indicates somewhere

:02:58.:03:01.

around seven minutes, which is a very long time

:03:02.:03:04.

if there is an explosive device, particularly a large one,

:03:05.:03:09.

but if there is a fire on board it's not a long enough time.

:03:10.:03:14.

So, it's too short for one and too long for the other.

:03:15.:03:18.

The fire that downed this plane could have been a malicious attack

:03:19.:03:21.

but most plane fires are caused by faulty wiring or

:03:22.:03:24.

Laptops, phones, cameras, they all contain powerful lithium

:03:25.:03:32.

batteries and there have been concerns for sometime

:03:33.:03:35.

It's got a water activated switch here...

:03:36.:03:42.

It's critical that they find the black boxes, each has

:03:43.:03:45.

They send out a signal for around a month.

:03:46.:03:55.

If the seabed has rocks on it or is very mountainous then

:03:56.:04:01.

you can blank the signals from the sonar you get.

:04:02.:04:05.

It's not as easy because you get targets back on the image that look

:04:06.:04:09.

With the answers still beneath the sea, it could be weeks,

:04:10.:04:12.

even months, before we know what caused this crash.

:04:13.:04:15.

In the last hour, the BBC has learned that Manchester United

:04:16.:04:22.

will appoint former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho as their new manager.

:04:23.:04:25.

He'll replace Dutchman Louis Van Gaal who, despite winning

:04:26.:04:28.

the FA Cup earlier today, was an able to guide the club

:04:29.:04:38.

the FA Cup earlier today, was unable to guide the club

:04:39.:04:41.

Our sports news correspondent Katie Gornall is at

:04:42.:04:43.

Success short-lived for van Gaal. That's right. There's been intense

:04:44.:04:51.

speculation around Louis Van Gaal's future at Manchester United for

:04:52.:04:55.

months now. Expectations which are high here haven't been met, despite

:04:56.:04:59.

over ?250 million being spent on players under van Gaal and then the

:05:00.:05:02.

club failing to qualify for the Champions League, as well. It led to

:05:03.:05:06.

a growing sense before the final here at Wembley that even if van

:05:07.:05:10.

Gaal did win the FA Cup it wouldn't be enough to see out the final year

:05:11.:05:16.

of his contract. His cause hasn't been helped by the availability of

:05:17.:05:19.

Jose Mourinho, one of the most successful managers in world

:05:20.:05:22.

football who has won titles in Italy, in Spain and England, of

:05:23.:05:26.

course. He's been out of work since December. The BBC understands that

:05:27.:05:30.

this agreement for Jose Mourinho to take over was in place before the

:05:31.:05:34.

final here at Wembley. He will take over next week. An announcement from

:05:35.:05:38.

the club will be made early next week. Jose Mourinho due to come in

:05:39.:05:43.

to replace Louis Van Gaal. He will have the whole summer no you to

:05:44.:05:47.

prepare his squad for the new season, to put his stamp on the

:05:48.:05:52.

squad, and bring players in too and Manchester United clearly Seymour

:05:53.:06:01.

Mourinho as a man with a personality and skills to restore this club to

:06:02.:06:05.

its former glory but Louis Van Gaal is set to leave the club. Thank you.

:06:06.:06:10.

We will have a full match report of today's game coming up.

:06:11.:06:14.

A group of 28 men and women have been discovered in the back

:06:15.:06:17.

They were given medical treatment and then taken into custody

:06:18.:06:21.

on suspicion of entering the country illegally.

:06:22.:06:22.

The driver of the lorry was also arrested on suspicion

:06:23.:06:25.

of facilitating illegal entry into the UK.

:06:26.:06:31.

A woman has been remanded in custody after appearing in court accused

:06:32.:06:33.

of owning a dangerously out of control dog.

:06:34.:06:35.

11 children were attacked in a park in Northumberland with nine

:06:36.:06:38.

needing hospital treatment after the incident

:06:39.:06:39.

Claire Neale, who's 37, pleaded not guilty.

:06:40.:06:47.

Jeremy Corbyn has been setting out how a future Labour Government

:06:48.:06:49.

Speaking in London, the Labour leader said wealth creation

:06:50.:06:54.

was a good thing but that the party would seek to distribute the rewards

:06:55.:06:58.

There were also promises to increase home ownership and plans to provide

:06:59.:07:02.

Here's our political correspondent Carole Walker.

:07:03.:07:08.

A warm welcome for the Labour leader today but he knows he has much to do

:07:09.:07:13.

to convince the wider public to trust him on the economy.

:07:14.:07:19.

The party has announced new advisory bodies,

:07:20.:07:23.

plans to boost housing, and give elected mayors

:07:24.:07:25.

Jeremy Corbyn said he wants a new economics.

:07:26.:07:33.

What Labour stands for is more than stopping the damage

:07:34.:07:35.

We want to see a break with the failed economic orthodoxy

:07:36.:07:43.

that has gripped policy-makers for a generation and set out a very

:07:44.:07:46.

clear vision for a Labour Government that will create an economy that

:07:47.:07:49.

Labour's new leadership say there is no doubt that the party

:07:50.:07:53.

under Ed Miliband lost the last election because it failed

:07:54.:07:56.

to convince voters it had a credible economic strategy.

:07:57.:08:02.

Today, I put it to the Shadow Chancellor that they still don't

:08:03.:08:06.

know where the party stands on key issues such as whether Labour

:08:07.:08:09.

I am not really interested in income tax.

:08:10.:08:13.

What I am interested in is what British people

:08:14.:08:15.

are interested in - a fair taxation system,

:08:16.:08:18.

making sure the corporations and rich pay their way.

:08:19.:08:20.

But people care about their levels of income.

:08:21.:08:23.

I thought you said you would put up the top rate of income tax?

:08:24.:08:29.

We are not increasing the income tax for the bulk of people.

:08:30.:08:32.

But you will put up the top rate of tax?

:08:33.:08:34.

Existing Labour Party policy is to return it

:08:35.:08:36.

to what it was before, which is the top rate of tax.

:08:37.:08:39.

Establishing credibility on the economy remains a huge

:08:40.:08:41.

The leadership say their approach will be socialist, interventionist.

:08:42.:08:44.

But some of the party's MPs say that will not win them back

:08:45.:08:47.

the broad support they need across the country.

:08:48.:08:53.

Labour does have a fiscal rule to balance day-to-day spending

:08:54.:08:56.

and borrow to invest but delegates admit that's not enough.

:08:57.:09:00.

No, it needs to do much more and of course the thinking

:09:01.:09:03.

But there is a hell of a lot already in place.

:09:04.:09:09.

He has to repeat these messages to make clear what they mean

:09:10.:09:14.

They've got very clear basics of the economy right.

:09:15.:09:19.

What they want is wealth creation, right from the grass

:09:20.:09:21.

The Conservatives say Labour would put the economy at risk

:09:22.:09:24.

with more borrowing and debt but the promise of an end

:09:25.:09:27.

to austerity and a fairer taxation system could be appealing,

:09:28.:09:32.

if voters believe Labour does have the right policies to change

:09:33.:09:35.

Meanwhile, the Leave campaign has poured scorn

:09:36.:09:43.

on claims by the Chancellor, George Osborne, that house prices

:09:44.:09:46.

A Treasury report, to be published next week,

:09:47.:09:50.

forecasts that people's homes would lose as much as 18% in value

:09:51.:09:53.

if Britain votes leave in June's referendum.

:09:54.:09:56.

It prompted this reaction from the former Cabinet

:09:57.:10:00.

Minister Iain Duncan Smith, a prominent Leave campaigner.

:10:01.:10:04.

Well, when I heard that I did think of Pinnochio and the nose

:10:05.:10:07.

I mean, let me just remind everybody that it was the Treasury

:10:08.:10:13.

and George Osborne who said, when we came into power back

:10:14.:10:16.

in 2010, we couldn't trust Treasury reports because they were always

:10:17.:10:19.

fiddled with by Chancellors of the Exchequer.

:10:20.:10:25.

A man has appeared in court accused of attempting to murder four women

:10:26.:10:28.

who were stabbed outside a supermarket in south-west London.

:10:29.:10:32.

Ethem Orhon, who's 66, was also charged with possessing

:10:33.:10:35.

The four women are still in hospital in a stable condition

:10:36.:10:39.

following the attack in Hampton yesterday.

:10:40.:10:42.

The Church of Scotland has voted to allow ministers to be

:10:43.:10:46.

The vote was made on the first day of its annual General

:10:47.:10:50.

Civil partnerships were already permitted for clergy but ministers

:10:51.:10:55.

are still barred from conducting gay weddings.

:10:56.:10:57.

A report looking into the issue will be carried out next year.

:10:58.:11:05.

Let's get all the latest with the sport and more on that FA Cup win

:11:06.:11:09.

and Manchester United. Well, as we've been hearing,

:11:10.:11:13.

with the imminent arrival of Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal

:11:14.:11:16.

is set to leave as Manchester United manager as an FA Cup winner,

:11:17.:11:19.

after his team lifted the trophy A dramatic final was completed

:11:20.:11:22.

in extra time as United came from behind to beat

:11:23.:11:27.

Crystal Palace 2-1 at Wembley. They say trophies define careers and

:11:28.:11:38.

for Louis Van Gaal this has been the ideal way to end his at Manchester

:11:39.:11:41.

United. This is a club used to the big occasion. For Crystal Palace

:11:42.:11:45.

fans a visit to Wembley is a rare treat. Alan Pardew was in the heart

:11:46.:11:49.

of Palace's misfield the last time they were in an FA Cup final. Now he

:11:50.:11:55.

is directing from the dug out, sending on Jason Puncheon to blast

:11:56.:11:58.

the game open in the second half. That emotion can do strange things

:11:59.:12:03.

to people. On such a stage it takes a cool head to respond. Wayne Rooney

:12:04.:12:09.

was Unite's driving force. Mata the man to seize back control. In extra

:12:10.:12:16.

time Palace gained an advantage after Chris Smalling etc earned him

:12:17.:12:20.

a second yellow. Like United of old they refused to shuffle aside. With

:12:21.:12:24.

the match heading for penalties there was time for one more twist.

:12:25.:12:30.

Lingard may never strike the ball better. Again United have denied

:12:31.:12:35.

Palace. In winning their first trophy since the departure of Alex

:12:36.:12:39.

Ferguson they've shown a ruthless streak too.

:12:40.:12:42.

Hibernian are Scottish Cup champions for the first time since 1902,

:12:43.:12:45.

after beating Rangers 3-2 in an action-packed

:12:46.:12:47.

The occasion, though, was marred by a pitch

:12:48.:12:49.

The Scottish FA and the Police have launched investigations.

:12:50.:12:53.

Hibs fans young and old made their way to Hampden with one thing in

:12:54.:13:01.

common, never having seen their team win a Scottish Cup final. For

:13:02.:13:05.

Rangers supporters this was a chance to add the Cup to the championship

:13:06.:13:09.

and chalg Cup. No sooner than the teams were on the park it seemed

:13:10.:13:15.

Hibs were in front. Anthony Stokes causing the damage. Rangers

:13:16.:13:18.

gradually clawed their way into the match and the former Hibs striker

:13:19.:13:23.

Kenny Miller headed them level. Having beaten Hibs to promotion,

:13:24.:13:30.

when Halliday's strike beat Rogan it appeared Rangers would inflict

:13:31.:13:34.

further misery. But that was to reckon without that man Stokes. And

:13:35.:13:39.

when the Hibs captain David Gray scored an injury time winner a

:13:40.:13:44.

century and more of hurt was ended. Astonishing and somewhat ugly scenes

:13:45.:13:48.

at the end of what should have been a celebration for Hibs as they ended

:13:49.:13:52.

an incredible wait to lift the Scottish Cup. As you can see, a lot

:13:53.:13:58.

of Hibernian fans came on to the park to celebrate a great victory.

:13:59.:14:01.

Rangers fans reacted by also trying to get on. The recriminations are

:14:02.:14:05.

for another day, though. Tonight is a night for the green half of

:14:06.:14:09.

Edinburgh to party like it is 1902. James Anderson took ten

:14:10.:14:13.

wickets as England thrashed Sri Lanka in the first Test

:14:14.:14:15.

match at Headingley. The hosts wasted little time

:14:16.:14:18.

on a rain-interrupted day as Sri Lanka collapsed to defeat

:14:19.:14:22.

by an innings and 88 runs. Leads under leaden skies is a

:14:23.:14:33.

severest sentence as could be handed to a visiting batsman. In such

:14:34.:14:37.

weather the ball swings fast and late. Batting can be guess work. You

:14:38.:14:43.

rarely get it right when Anderson is the tormenter. English conditions

:14:44.:14:47.

were helping the hosts. At Headingley it got too English. Sri

:14:48.:14:50.

Lanka were soon in trouble when they returned to play.

:14:51.:14:55.

The tourists were doomed to a futile chase with ever fewer runners. The

:14:56.:15:01.

captain was the fourth to trip up. Men dez helped Sri Lanka to score

:15:02.:15:05.

more than yesterday's 91 all-out. Anderson could only be delayed, not

:15:06.:15:10.

defied. Finn joined in for England's final ability. Extra stage right,

:15:11.:15:14.

three more gentlemen of Sri Lanka. The last line had to go to the

:15:15.:15:20.

leading man. Anderson's fifth of the match. England's first Test of the

:15:21.:15:23.

summer was barely a test and certainly not summer.

:15:24.:15:26.

That's all the sport. Just before we go, passengers

:15:27.:15:31.

onboard a hot air balloon in the Australian state of Victoria

:15:32.:15:33.

have had a lucky escape after They were were forced to leap

:15:34.:15:36.

onto a passing motorboat All nine made it down safely before

:15:37.:15:40.

being taken to shore and that meant the balloon was then light

:15:41.:15:45.

enough to reach land too. You can see more on all of today's

:15:46.:15:52.

stories on the BBC News channel. Good evening. It's been a rather

:15:53.:16:14.

soggy Saturday for some of us. In fact rain stopped play at Headingley

:16:15.:16:18.

today but as we have already seen in the news it didn't spoil the result

:16:19.:16:22.

for England's first Test. The best of the sunshine was further north

:16:23.:16:25.

and west. Heavy rain through the north of the country. Fairly ragged

:16:26.:16:28.

patchy outbreaks of

:16:29.:16:29.
