We weigh up the impact of the widening flight ban | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With just one week to go before the UK Prime Minister formally | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
starts Brexit - senior politicians put pressure on to ensure the right | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
free trade deal with the European Union. | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
The UK has announced a ban on tablets and laptops being carried | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
It follows similar moves by the US announced earlier. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
But importantly the two bans affect different countries. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
The US decision impacts flights originating from airports | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
in Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
That means it captures some of the world's biggest long haul | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
carriers - including Emirates, Etihad, Qatar and Turkish Airlines. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
The UK ban has a more limited focus it doesn't include Morocco, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
the UAE or Qatar - but it does include Tunisia. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
British Airways and easyJet are among the airlines affected. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Officials from both governments say bombs could be hidden | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Any electronic device larger than 16 x 9.3cm is affected, | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
and will need to be place into hold luggage. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
So, how is the ban likely to work - and who is affected? | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
To the US include Egypt air, Royal Jordanian, Turkish airlines, | :01:46. | :02:06. | |
Emirates, any hard and Qatar. Anything larger than a smartphone or | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
cellphone will have to go in checked luggage in the hold. That includes, | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
but is not limited to, laptops, tablets, E readers, cameras and | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
portable DVD players. Any increased security cost will be borne by the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
affected airports. The Department of Homeland Security says it chose the | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
airports, quote, based on the current threat picture but said more | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
may be added in future. There is also no time limit on the rule. They | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
say they will stay in place until the threat | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
Simon Calder is here, our travel expert. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
You have a great illustration of the size we are allowed to now take into | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
the cabin. Of course, mobile phones and tablets and the readers have | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
merged, almost. This is now the maximum size. There are big but, of | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
course, cameras which can have a similar dimensional art too thick to | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
escape the ban. So you have all of this expensive technology that | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
people tend to carry close to them, particularly business travellers. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Suddenly that will be in the holds of aircraft. What could possibly go | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
wrong? What does the inconvenience but if you are someone who has | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
extremely important information on your lap, -- laptop, you don't want | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
to leave but leave your possession. And many people on these routes will | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
be travelling for official business so there are serious concerns about | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
this and people are religious coming to with the implications. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Logistically it will be a nightmare. I travel tomorrow to Turkey, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
returning on Saturday. On my flight back I need to suddenly find that | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
bag I can put this stuff in, safely, I hope. That will lead to the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
pressure on airports both at Istanbul and when I arrived in | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
London. The implications are quite tremendous. What do you make of it? | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
We assume they have new intelligence. This is coming out of | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
intelligence gleaned from the workings of our Qaeda in the | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
peninsula, particularly in Yemen, and the sophistication is now | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
deployed by a bomb makers. That is the concern. What I do not | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
understand is why, as you were explaining, the difference in the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
countries covered. If there is a threat then, surely, it applies to | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
all countries. And it is interesting that the UAE, Emirates, and Eddie | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
hard as well is Qatar Airways are included in the US ban but not in | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
the reddish ban. The two series I've heard is that the Americans are | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
quite upset about the unfair advantages the Gulf carriers have | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
over their domestic players and the other one is simply that if you try | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
to impose that on the UK context, it will simply... The scale would be | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
overwhelming. Thank you so much for your insight. More detail on the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
website and more information and illustrations for you so that you | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
are Ros what you can and cannot take. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
China's Premier Li Keqiang sets off for a trip to Australia | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
China hopes to enhance free trade agreements with both nations | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
and promote cooperation in science, technology and innovation. | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
Can you tell us more about this trip? Important for both sides. He | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
will land in Canberra at a pivotal moment when you look at what is | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
happening globally with so much uncertainty in the relationship | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
between America and China. Australia has had this role of a couple of | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
decades for being a bridge between the two. The message from China is | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
that there is nothing to fear in the future, carry on trading. There has | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
been a landmark free trade agreement between Australia and China since | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the end of 2013. China is the biggest trade partner of Australia | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
on both sides want to see that flourish. Traditionally it has been | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
based on things like iron ore and coal but more and more e-commerce | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
technology is where the growth will come from. Australia will try and | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
show the Premier the best time. He will can watch and Australian Rules | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
football game here in Sydney on the weekend, a game that Australia wants | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
to export outside its borders. There is just a week to go until | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May formally starts the process | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
of the UK's departure And there's another warning | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
on an uncertain future for business. The non-financial services sector | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
is at risk of "significant damage" if there is no free trade deal | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
before the UK leaves the EU. That's according to a committee | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
of the upper house of Parliament, I have a lord with us, the chairman | :07:07. | :07:22. | |
of the EU internal market subcommittee. This is a warning | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
coming from you. Can you tell us more about your concerns? We look at | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
non- financial services, effectively everything from digital services | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
through legal services through things like fashion and music and | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
services like aviation as you have been talking about. All of those | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
like a single market and there is a lot of money in it for the British | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
people who by and large have a surplus. We do well in the cutting | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
edge of technology and we compete freely within Europe even though the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
single market is not perfect. They want to retain all of those aspects | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
of the single market and that will be difficult to negotiate. When | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
Theresa May formally starts the process next week she will also come | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
with that, put forward the UK's proposal on how negotiations should | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
go and where it should begin. And big, as it were, to leave. Once that | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
has happened, business will have a better idea of where they are | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
headed. Some are already preparing, anyway, aren't they hard Brexit | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
scenario? Some are making contingency deals, relocating to | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
other parts the EU, for example. What we say here is that if we are | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
going down the road of a free trade agreement which was an option, they | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
need to make special provisions of these services. Things like | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
intellectual property, recognition of qualifications, licensing | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
systems, all are quite detailed and complex within each of these | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
sectors. It is a difficult negotiation and will take time. And | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
each different actor will come as you say, it is complicated and | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
specific, there will need to be specific horse trading to each. To | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
what extent can businesses expect to be involved in the process, if at | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
all? The government had a lot of catch up in talking to industry at | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
the beginning of it. What industry are now worried about is that once | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
the horse trading starts they will no longer have communication. They | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
need to continue the line of communication with ministers. The | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
next worry is that some of these sectors are so if Terry they may | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
actually drop out of the picture. That is unfair because this is one | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
of the greatest assets that Britain has in one of our greatest surpluses | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
with the European Union. Previous free-trade agreements which Europe | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
do have not really dealt with these issues. It will be unprecedented and | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
copper and sieve and difficult. We do agree on that they certainly are | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
unprecedented times. Thank you for coming in and we will keep an eye on | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
that story as it develops. But a quick look at markets. A decline in | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
markets for the United States overnight. The biggest fall since | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Donald Trump was elected and since he came into office. No surprise | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
that all that Asia is following suit. The price of oil continues to | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
fall and the yen is getting stronger. Everything, I would say... | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Let's look at the US, you can have a look at how went at the end of day. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
Everything is headed south on now. We will talk more about that when we | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
reviewed papers later. Back with me in a moment. Just time | :10:31. | :10:47. | |
to tell you now that new figures to show you that the number of women | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
working into their 70s is doubled over the last quarter a years. Over | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
11% of women | :10:55. | :10:55. |
