The first flights bringing British tourists home from Sharm el-Sheikh

But it's not clear how many other flights will take off today -

leaving many passengers wondering when they will be able to get home.

I don't know what time where going home, whether it is now or later. It

has been really chaotic, I'm not going to lie, it has been quite bad

-- what time we are going home. With Britain still believing a bomb

brought down a Rusiian airliner - We'll be getting the latest

from the airport in Sharm. Must do better - universities that

want to raise fees are told to improve teaching standards

and recruit more disadvantaged Vauxhall recalls 220,000

of its Zafira cars - to repair a defect that's reported to have

started fires behind the glovebox. 20 years after the introduction

of the Disability Discrimination Act - we ask how much nearer are we to

equality for disabled people? Oldies but goodies - Man United's

Class of 92 hope for an upset - as Salford City prepare for

the biggest game in their history. 50 people are arrested

and three police officers injured during an anti-establishment protest

in Westminster. The south London primary that's

reversed its fortunes Good afternoon,

and welcome to the BBC News at One. The first flights bringing home

British holidaymakers stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh have left

the resort - despite confusion over Two EasyJet planes have taken

off from Sharm, carrying 339 people its other eight flights were

suspended. Egyptian officials say its

because of limited capacity at the airport - and they have now granted

all UK airlines permission to have The UK banned flights to and

from the resort because of concerns that a bomb brought

down the Russian airliner that crashed after taking off from Sharm

el-Sheikh on Saturday. Hoping

for an exit they started queueing early, some of the thousands

of British tourists stranded here The British team assessed security

at the airport, clearing fights to the UK as long as hand luggage

and checked-in bags were separated. All because Britain says last week's

crash may have been caused This morning the Transport Secretary

said that their wait should soon Arrangements are being put

in place so that the vast majority of those who should have come home

either Wednesday, Thursday or today will in fact be

back home I the end of the day. Thursday or today will in fact be

back home by the end of the day. Two planes from London did take

off this morning but then confusion as an easyJet flights to Luton was

suddenly halted. Passengers were told to

return to their hotels. We are not probably going to leave

today and we've got to wait for a list to be sent through to tell us

when our flight is going to be and then how long we're going to wait

and whether we go to our hotel or I checked the easyJet Tracker

and it is saying we're not leaving So I don't know what

time we're going home. I don't know

if we're leaving now or later. It's been really chaotic,

I'm not going to lie, The British ambassador tried to calm

tempers, saying there were no cancellations,

simply logistical challenges. He was heckled

by frustrated passengers. Our aim is to get as many people

home as soon as possible. And of course, our priority is to

give people a chance to get home who have been waiting

since their flights were cancelled It will take a little bit

of time and I know how frustrating it is not knowing exactly how long

it's going to take you to get home Cairo has been embarrassed by

Downing Street's claim that a major It seems Britain is now satisfied

with The tourists can leave

but the image of emergency flights out and rumours that

a bomb may have passed through here last week will linger and could

have devastating consequences. Sharm el-Sheikh one

of its highlights. Now there is

a fear it will be set back. It's going to take many,

many months and possibly years for They've had two revolutions

in the last four years. They've now got what is being

reported as a terrorist attack on one of the aeroplanes leaving

the country. I can't see Egypt's tourist sector

recovering for a long time. And so more waiting today,

the backlogs continue and there is confusion about when those hoping

for a peaceful end to their holiday Mark Lowen, BBC News,

Sharm el-Sheikh. The BBC understands that British and

American security agencies received intelligence that came from

intercepted communications between militants in Syria and Egypt which

pointed towards a bomb being on the Russian plane that came

down killing all on board. The militants have already claimed

they were behind it, but Egypt Last night President Obama said

the US was taking Better safe than story, that's

broadly the Government's responds to the criticism it faced over Sharm

el-Sheikh. The intelligence that grounded British flights has not

been widely disseminated but it seems likely and intercepted

communication between militant groups in the Sinai was behind the

Prime Minister's decision. One former CIA official called it

premature, or rather un-British. There aren't many Americans in Sharm

and the President has been more careful with his language. We are

going to spend a lot of time making sure that our own investigators and

intelligence community figures out exactly what is going on before

making any definitive pronouncements. . It is possible

that there was a bomb on board. The answer is, of course, will come from

the wreckage. Pictures were released today showing passenger seats from

the Russian plane in the desert. Some of this evidence reportedly

points to an explosion in the rear section, which is why in Sharm they

are looking at baggage handling. Such is the concern, the Dutch,

Germans and French are now following the British lead. It also emerges

that day the Russian plane crash two men breached the airport fence at

another red Sea resort and were arrested near the runway. Sharm is

by far the biggest destination in Egypt but today on social media

there are British holiday-makers in other resorts in Egypt expressing

concerns about security. There are 2500 British holiday-makers

currently here. For now the holiday Derrey Foreign Office says it has no

extra plans for these airports but surely that is under review. By

European standards the training in the airports is not always good and

the potential for corruption is high. It isn't necessarily solely a

problem for Egypt, it's a problem for a lot of countries. It's a lack

of consistency, we have rules governing airport security but we

are not policing them. Today the Egyptian President went to the

Ministry of Defence to discuss wider security in the Middle East. The one

difficulty for the British government is that generally their

plan to combat so-called Islamic State is looking a little

incoherent. I'm asking MPs particularly to reflect on the fact

that the streets of Britain at the moment are being kept safe by

American, Australian and French aircraft striking at the heart of

Isil in north-east Syria from where Isil is organised and directed.

Russia, of course, complicates the picture and in Syria they have hit

263 targets in just 48 hours. Whether or not they are involved in

the plane crash, Islamic State is paying a heavy price. Christian

Fraser, BBC News. Our world affairs correspondent

Paul Adams is here. It is a confusing picture but what

do we know about the security situation? We are no closer to

knowing exactly what it was that triggered the British decision on

Wednesday but it's clearly being taken seriously by a lot of people.

Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and France, and lots of talk about

changing travel advice and flights being suspended until further

notice. If anything the British government is not retreating from

its initial position, it is hardening. Talk today of a strong

suspicion this was an act of terrorism. Thanks to President Sisi

yesterday in his press conference with David Cameron we know that

British officials were at Sharm el-Sheikh ten months ago reviewing

security arrangements there. Province fixed? Well, now they are

back. We are looking at it again and returning Brits are being told they

cannot check luggage into the hold on the planes bringing them home. --

are the problem is fixed? There is clearly a problem with baggage

handling. Anyone who has travelled through an Egyptian airport in

recent times will tell you security is pretty hit and miss at the best

of times. If it is a bomb, who planted it? Lots of militant groups

operate in the Sinai peninsular, some of them allied to Islamic

State, some Al-Qaeda, some chatter that there may be collaboration

between some of these organisations and it is worth remembering Islamic

State claimed this attack twice this week but without offering any

evidence to support that. The best we can say is that at the end of

this admittedly very confusing week, what may still turn out just to be a

plane crash looks to be more and more like a deliberate act of

terrorism perpetrated by Islamic State. If both of those things are

true then deemed locations, both for Egypt's tourism industry and the

wider battle against Islamic State, absolutely enormous.

Paul Adams, thank you very much. Universities in England that want to

raise tuition fees in line with inflation will have to show they're

providing high-quality teaching. They will also be given targets to

recruit more disadvantaged The current maximum level

for fees is ?9,000 a year. Critics warn the plans

for improving teaching could lead to some universities raising

their fees further. Students now leave university with

their graduation certificate and an IOU for the amount their degree has

cost them. Since tuition fees were introduced students have gone from

learners to consumers and there is considerable concern that they are

not always getting value for money. It depends on what course you do. I

think humanities tend to be a bit less value for money because there

is less resources coming in, you have less contact hours. Some of our

lecturers are amazing and we are at a brilliant university so we get

brilliant lecturers but others you think this is nine grand. The value

comes from the reputation of the University. I guess for me I'd say

it is value for money. Free education! When do we want it? This

week protesters took to the streets of London and Key among their

concerns, tuition fees. Those fees will remain but the Government says

the new proposals will put students at the heart of higher education. It

plans to put in place a teaching excellence framework, which will

take into account students the and graduate prospects, and universities

will be encouraged to provide grade-point average is showing

student performance throughout the course rather than just a final

mark. And there will be a renewed focus on increasing the number of

poorest students and those from ethnic minority backgrounds. When

tuition fees were introduced it was never envisaged that almost all

universities would charge the maximum ?9,000 per year but that is

exciting what happened. The Government has already announced

that universities will be able to raise tuition fees in line with

inflation, and the Green paper adds that this increase will only apply

to those universities which provide high quality teaching. This could be

a Trojan horse for a fee increase. It could also be a Trojan horse for

cutting money from people who are not regarded within their framework

as doing well and that would create a two, three, four tier system. The

proposals were cautiously welcomed by the university sector. Students

have a lot of information already. The trick I think would be teaching

excellence framework would be to give them company three information

that is easy to understand -- complimentary information. And they

can trust as being reliable. In England tuition fees will remain

part of the university experience but these proposals aim to help

students to get the best return for the thousands of pounds they will

have to pay. Sarah Campbell, BBC News.

Vauxhall has announced a recall of 220,000 Zafira cars

The model affected is the Zafira B built between 2005 and 2014.

More than 130 fires have been reported starting

behind the glove-box, in the heating and ventilation system.

Our business correspondent Emma Simpson is here.

With some understatement I would say this sounds alarming! If you are a

driver and your cart mysteriously goes on fire without warning that is

pretty alarming. Vauxhall tell me they have knowledge now of some 200

cars out of these 220,000 Zafira B cars come a specific model, and all

of these cars have either manual or no air conditioning. The Zafira has

been one of Vauxhall's bestselling family cars over the years and the

scale of the problem only came to light because of a post-setup on

Facebook, where drivers have been posting their pictures and telling

their stories. Some of these cars have been so badly burnt they have

had to be written off. Luckily, we've been told, nebby has been

injured as a result of this. So do Vauxhall no exciting what the

problem isn't how to fix it? Vauxhall believe the problem is in

the heating and ventilation system, where something has gone wrong

leading the system to get too hot and fire taking hold. They still

don't know the root cause. They tell me they suspect it could be a

component that has become faulty, or perhaps hasn't been repaired or

replaced properly, creating a set of circumstances where a fire could

take hold. Some of these cars are a decade old and could be on their

third or fourth drivers. What Vauxhall are saying is if you have

one of these cars, take it into the dealership and get it inspected. If

a repair has been done incorrectly by a non-Vauxhall mechanic they will

repair it at no cost. Owners are being contacted now. They have had

to ask the DVLA for help, because they have been difficult to trace.

That's why it will take a few days for these owners to be written to.

Emma Simpson, thank you. The time is 1:15pm. The top story this

the FA Cup second round This weekend sees

the 20th anniversary of Seen as a landmark piece

of legislation, it was passed to protect and promote

the rights of disabled people. However, two decades on, campaigners

say equality is still a long way off with disabled people still less

likely to be employed, stay in higher education, or even have

access to many public buildings. Our disability affairs

correspondent Nicky Fox reports. His work portrays life

as a disabled person. One day in the early 80s,

after spending a long time in hospital, his brother took him

to the pictures to cheer him up. He said I'm going to take you to

see Jaws 1 and 2, it was a double We got to the cinema

and the manager came out and didn't make any eye contact and

kind of pointed at me and said he Jason reflects experiences

like this in his work, using his talent to highlight the

frustration he felt at the time. You couldn't complain

because there wasn't anything in the statute to complain about,

basically you put up with it. It was

during the early 90s that disabled Thousands took to

the streets to protest. One of those arrested was

Agnes Fletcher. Can you paint me a picture

of the day? It was just incredibly

exhilarating and exciting. The demonstrations led to

a general sense of outrage and eventually the Disability

Discrimination Act was passed. It was incredibly symbolic that

finally this concept, this idea of discrimination against disabled

people, was recognised in law. There have been massive changes

since then over the 20 years Although the Bill was weaker than

many campaigners had hoped for For starters it introduced

the term 'reasonable adjustments'. But did the law go far enough

and just how easy is it to use? This is Doug Paulley,

he is no lawyer but he successfully sued public

transport providers, universities, And has written a guide to

show others how to do it. It is frustrating that it is not

generally enforced, What is the point

of it being there unless everybody who experiences discrimination can

force change through? Despite its flaws the Bill was

a remarkable moment For those campaigners who worked

tirelessly it was a special time and a moment they were proud to be

part of. But did it have

the impact they hoped for? It is nearly 2016

and I still experience at least once TalkTalk says the personal data

of 4% of its customers was at risk during the recent cyber hack on

its website, which is considerably Our Personal Finance Correspondent

Simon Gompertz is here. Not as bad as they first thought? It

seems to be a more limited attack than we first thought. They knew

they had been hacked, but they did not know the extent of it, so they

warned 4 million customers. They now have much smaller numbers. It is

157,000 whose information might have been stolen like e-mails, addresses

and telephone numbers. Over 15,000 might have had their bank account

details taken. That would be your bank account number and the sort

code. Also worrying 28,000 whose credit or debit card details could

that would be the number of some of it obscured and not lined up with

your name, so TalkTalk have said it is difficult to see how people could

use that information on its own to take money from you. Some people

have said they have had money taken during this period, but top top says

there is no just this information might have been used to do that.

People might be criticising them but their response is once they knew

they had been hacked, they customers the opportunity to take precautions

rather than leaving it for a period of time. They have got an

investigation going on at the moment. All those 150,000 people

will be warned by letter their website is still not functioning

properly as a result of this and until it is absolutely clear to them

the stuff football dreams are made of and Salford City will be hoping

for a bit of FA Cup magic tonight when they take on Notts County

in the first round of the FA Cup. Salford, who are co-owned

by Manchester United's "class of '92" face an uphill task

against a Notts County side who play the weeks preparations are well

under way for the most high-profile match since Salford city was formed

in 1940. The ground holds around 410 night they the focus will be on the

Salford players, but their they made their names to stand the road at Old

Trafford. The rise of non-league Salford city

is a story of graft and glamour. Less than two years ago this was a

club in the eighth tier of English football with little hope for the

future. Now part owned's biggest names and promoted last season,

their moment in the spotlight has arrived. Salford came through for

qualifying rounds to reach the FA Cup first round for the first time

and they got there in spectacular fashion. Tonight they host League

two Notts County, three divisions above them, the world's oldest

professional football club and winners of this competition in

1894. Salford's journey owes much to the so-called class of 92. The club

was taken over by former Manchester United players Ryan Giggs, Phil

Buck, Phil and Paul Scholes. They have never forgotten their roots. It

would be nice with the links we have got with Salford to give the people

of Salford something to be proud of. It is a great city and there are so

many great people and for me personally so many great memories

growing now they are taking a back and there are new site I set for the

biggest test yet and if they are going to pass it they will have to

do so without I have been lucky enough to be in this position before

against Liverpool or Manchester United. We have got a good chance as

long as if they beat Notts County they will be one win away with a
