:00:13. > :00:16.We weigh up the impact of the widening flight ban
:00:17. > :00:24.With just one week to go before the UK Prime Minister formally
:00:25. > :00:27.starts Brexit - senior politicians put pressure on to ensure the right
:00:28. > :00:36.free trade deal with the European Union.
:00:37. > :00:46.The UK has announced a ban on tablets and laptops being carried
:00:47. > :00:51.It follows similar moves by the US announced earlier.
:00:52. > :00:55.But importantly the two bans affect different countries.
:00:56. > :01:01.The US decision impacts flights originating from airports
:01:02. > :01:03.in Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia,
:01:04. > :01:10.That means it captures some of the world's biggest long haul
:01:11. > :01:15.carriers - including Emirates, Etihad, Qatar and Turkish Airlines.
:01:16. > :01:18.The UK ban has a more limited focus it doesn't include Morocco,
:01:19. > :01:21.the UAE or Qatar - but it does include Tunisia.
:01:22. > :01:24.British Airways and easyJet are among the airlines affected.
:01:25. > :01:27.Officials from both governments say bombs could be hidden
:01:28. > :01:38.Any electronic device larger than 16 x 9.3cm is affected,
:01:39. > :01:42.and will need to be place into hold luggage.
:01:43. > :01:45.So, how is the ban likely to work - and who is affected?
:01:46. > :02:06.To the US include Egypt air, Royal Jordanian, Turkish airlines,
:02:07. > :02:10.Emirates, any hard and Qatar. Anything larger than a smartphone or
:02:11. > :02:17.cellphone will have to go in checked luggage in the hold. That includes,
:02:18. > :02:22.but is not limited to, laptops, tablets, E readers, cameras and
:02:23. > :02:27.portable DVD players. Any increased security cost will be borne by the
:02:28. > :02:32.affected airports. The Department of Homeland Security says it chose the
:02:33. > :02:36.airports, quote, based on the current threat picture but said more
:02:37. > :02:40.may be added in future. There is also no time limit on the rule. They
:02:41. > :02:49.say they will stay in place until the threat
:02:50. > :02:55.Simon Calder is here, our travel expert.
:02:56. > :03:03.You have a great illustration of the size we are allowed to now take into
:03:04. > :03:07.the cabin. Of course, mobile phones and tablets and the readers have
:03:08. > :03:13.merged, almost. This is now the maximum size. There are big but, of
:03:14. > :03:17.course, cameras which can have a similar dimensional art too thick to
:03:18. > :03:24.escape the ban. So you have all of this expensive technology that
:03:25. > :03:28.people tend to carry close to them, particularly business travellers.
:03:29. > :03:33.Suddenly that will be in the holds of aircraft. What could possibly go
:03:34. > :03:38.wrong? What does the inconvenience but if you are someone who has
:03:39. > :03:46.extremely important information on your lap, -- laptop, you don't want
:03:47. > :03:50.to leave but leave your possession. And many people on these routes will
:03:51. > :03:54.be travelling for official business so there are serious concerns about
:03:55. > :03:58.this and people are religious coming to with the implications.
:03:59. > :04:02.Logistically it will be a nightmare. I travel tomorrow to Turkey,
:04:03. > :04:08.returning on Saturday. On my flight back I need to suddenly find that
:04:09. > :04:12.bag I can put this stuff in, safely, I hope. That will lead to the
:04:13. > :04:15.pressure on airports both at Istanbul and when I arrived in
:04:16. > :04:21.London. The implications are quite tremendous. What do you make of it?
:04:22. > :04:27.We assume they have new intelligence. This is coming out of
:04:28. > :04:32.intelligence gleaned from the workings of our Qaeda in the
:04:33. > :04:36.peninsula, particularly in Yemen, and the sophistication is now
:04:37. > :04:41.deployed by a bomb makers. That is the concern. What I do not
:04:42. > :04:44.understand is why, as you were explaining, the difference in the
:04:45. > :04:49.countries covered. If there is a threat then, surely, it applies to
:04:50. > :04:56.all countries. And it is interesting that the UAE, Emirates, and Eddie
:04:57. > :05:00.hard as well is Qatar Airways are included in the US ban but not in
:05:01. > :05:04.the reddish ban. The two series I've heard is that the Americans are
:05:05. > :05:07.quite upset about the unfair advantages the Gulf carriers have
:05:08. > :05:11.over their domestic players and the other one is simply that if you try
:05:12. > :05:18.to impose that on the UK context, it will simply... The scale would be
:05:19. > :05:22.overwhelming. Thank you so much for your insight. More detail on the
:05:23. > :05:28.website and more information and illustrations for you so that you
:05:29. > :05:30.are Ros what you can and cannot take.
:05:31. > :05:32.China's Premier Li Keqiang sets off for a trip to Australia
:05:33. > :05:36.China hopes to enhance free trade agreements with both nations
:05:37. > :05:44.and promote cooperation in science, technology and innovation.
:05:45. > :05:53.Can you tell us more about this trip? Important for both sides. He
:05:54. > :05:57.will land in Canberra at a pivotal moment when you look at what is
:05:58. > :06:04.happening globally with so much uncertainty in the relationship
:06:05. > :06:08.between America and China. Australia has had this role of a couple of
:06:09. > :06:14.decades for being a bridge between the two. The message from China is
:06:15. > :06:17.that there is nothing to fear in the future, carry on trading. There has
:06:18. > :06:21.been a landmark free trade agreement between Australia and China since
:06:22. > :06:24.the end of 2013. China is the biggest trade partner of Australia
:06:25. > :06:28.on both sides want to see that flourish. Traditionally it has been
:06:29. > :06:32.based on things like iron ore and coal but more and more e-commerce
:06:33. > :06:37.technology is where the growth will come from. Australia will try and
:06:38. > :06:40.show the Premier the best time. He will can watch and Australian Rules
:06:41. > :06:42.football game here in Sydney on the weekend, a game that Australia wants
:06:43. > :06:44.to export outside its borders. There is just a week to go until
:06:45. > :06:48.Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May formally starts the process
:06:49. > :06:50.of the UK's departure And there's another warning
:06:51. > :06:55.on an uncertain future for business. The non-financial services sector
:06:56. > :07:01.is at risk of "significant damage" if there is no free trade deal
:07:02. > :07:06.before the UK leaves the EU. That's according to a committee
:07:07. > :07:22.of the upper house of Parliament, I have a lord with us, the chairman
:07:23. > :07:27.of the EU internal market subcommittee. This is a warning
:07:28. > :07:30.coming from you. Can you tell us more about your concerns? We look at
:07:31. > :07:34.non- financial services, effectively everything from digital services
:07:35. > :07:38.through legal services through things like fashion and music and
:07:39. > :07:44.services like aviation as you have been talking about. All of those
:07:45. > :07:48.like a single market and there is a lot of money in it for the British
:07:49. > :07:51.people who by and large have a surplus. We do well in the cutting
:07:52. > :07:55.edge of technology and we compete freely within Europe even though the
:07:56. > :07:59.single market is not perfect. They want to retain all of those aspects
:08:00. > :08:03.of the single market and that will be difficult to negotiate. When
:08:04. > :08:08.Theresa May formally starts the process next week she will also come
:08:09. > :08:13.with that, put forward the UK's proposal on how negotiations should
:08:14. > :08:18.go and where it should begin. And big, as it were, to leave. Once that
:08:19. > :08:25.has happened, business will have a better idea of where they are
:08:26. > :08:29.headed. Some are already preparing, anyway, aren't they hard Brexit
:08:30. > :08:34.scenario? Some are making contingency deals, relocating to
:08:35. > :08:38.other parts the EU, for example. What we say here is that if we are
:08:39. > :08:43.going down the road of a free trade agreement which was an option, they
:08:44. > :08:47.need to make special provisions of these services. Things like
:08:48. > :08:49.intellectual property, recognition of qualifications, licensing
:08:50. > :08:53.systems, all are quite detailed and complex within each of these
:08:54. > :08:57.sectors. It is a difficult negotiation and will take time. And
:08:58. > :09:01.each different actor will come as you say, it is complicated and
:09:02. > :09:05.specific, there will need to be specific horse trading to each. To
:09:06. > :09:10.what extent can businesses expect to be involved in the process, if at
:09:11. > :09:14.all? The government had a lot of catch up in talking to industry at
:09:15. > :09:20.the beginning of it. What industry are now worried about is that once
:09:21. > :09:23.the horse trading starts they will no longer have communication. They
:09:24. > :09:27.need to continue the line of communication with ministers. The
:09:28. > :09:31.next worry is that some of these sectors are so if Terry they may
:09:32. > :09:36.actually drop out of the picture. That is unfair because this is one
:09:37. > :09:41.of the greatest assets that Britain has in one of our greatest surpluses
:09:42. > :09:45.with the European Union. Previous free-trade agreements which Europe
:09:46. > :09:52.do have not really dealt with these issues. It will be unprecedented and
:09:53. > :09:55.copper and sieve and difficult. We do agree on that they certainly are
:09:56. > :10:00.unprecedented times. Thank you for coming in and we will keep an eye on
:10:01. > :10:04.that story as it develops. But a quick look at markets. A decline in
:10:05. > :10:09.markets for the United States overnight. The biggest fall since
:10:10. > :10:14.Donald Trump was elected and since he came into office. No surprise
:10:15. > :10:18.that all that Asia is following suit. The price of oil continues to
:10:19. > :10:22.fall and the yen is getting stronger. Everything, I would say...
:10:23. > :10:28.Let's look at the US, you can have a look at how went at the end of day.
:10:29. > :10:30.Everything is headed south on now. We will talk more about that when we
:10:31. > :10:47.reviewed papers later. Back with me in a moment. Just time
:10:48. > :10:51.to tell you now that new figures to show you that the number of women
:10:52. > :10:54.working into their 70s is doubled over the last quarter a years. Over
:10:55. > :10:55.11% of women
