:02:43. > :02:51.and he surrendered to the Cypriot authorities. On board the plane, the
:02:52. > :02:57.man, an Egyptian named Seif Eldin Mustafa alarmed staff when he
:02:58. > :03:00.threatened to blow up. The flight, carrying over 60 people, including
:03:01. > :03:05.Britain and other Europeans, was forced to divert from Cairo to
:03:06. > :03:11.Larnaca airport. Many passengers were released, but a handful were
:03:12. > :03:15.held for several hours. TRANSLATION: We got on board the
:03:16. > :03:19.plane, and were surprised that the crew took away all of our passports.
:03:20. > :03:21.After awhile, we realised the altitude was getting higher. At
:03:22. > :03:26.first the crew told us there was a problem with the plane. Only later
:03:27. > :03:29.we knew it was being hijacked. As the plane remains on the tarmac,
:03:30. > :03:33.this unusual incident is being investigated. And inevitably,
:03:34. > :03:39.questions are being asked about security. After a deadly attack last
:03:40. > :03:44.year, Egypt was criticised for it airport controls. But this all
:03:45. > :03:49.appears to have been caused by a passenger who only pretended to have
:03:50. > :03:52.a weapon. Grainy footage has been released that apparently shows the
:03:53. > :03:57.hijacker undergoing security checks at Alexandria airport, and Egypt's

:04:04. > :04:08.TRANSLATION: We conduct strict and very accurate measures at our
:04:09. > :04:11.airports and seaports. We follow up on all fronts. I hope that all will
:04:12. > :04:16.go well with the continuous follow-up work, and development with
:04:17. > :04:19.the new equipment we have. Security experts say there are some scenarios
:04:20. > :04:25.it will always be hard to prepare for. It reminds us to get aviation
:04:26. > :04:28.security more holistically. There are vulnerabilities within the
:04:29. > :04:34.system, it is not a total security environment. There remain risks.
:04:35. > :04:39.This evening, an aircraft flew in, expecting to take travellers back to
:04:40. > :04:42.Egypt. While no one was harmed in today's hostage situation, it could
:04:43. > :04:44.still have a negative effect on the country's tourism, making
:04:45. > :04:47.holiday-makers jittery. With me now is our security
:04:48. > :04:55.correspondent, Frank Gardner. It is five months since the Russian
:04:56. > :05:02.plane was brought down after leaving Egypt. This will raise new questions
:05:03. > :05:07.about security. It will. It is a PR disaster Egypt, as if it needed
:05:08. > :05:10.another one. But to be fair, no explosives were smuggled through the
:05:11. > :05:14.airport, so the initial claim is reported that a suicide belt and got
:05:15. > :05:19.on board was not true, but the fact remains that this passenger, who was
:05:20. > :05:23.described by the Cypriot authorities as being psychologically unstable,
:05:24. > :05:26.was able to smuggle through Alexandria's airport enough
:05:27. > :05:31.materials that resembled a bomb, ie a padded white belt and wires
:05:32. > :05:35.sticking out of it, and that I think is going to cause people quite a lot
:05:36. > :05:39.of worry, it could even lead to greater security checks. Egypt is
:05:40. > :05:43.still reeling from what happened five months ago, somebody smuggled
:05:44. > :05:49.aboard a soft ranks can plane flying out of Sharm el-Sheikh airport to
:05:50. > :05:53.Russia, and that blew up in midair killing all the people on board.
:05:54. > :05:56.Egypt, a country I have lived in twice, it does have a bad track
:05:57. > :06:00.record when it comes to airline security. There is an element of
:06:01. > :06:04.putting the head in the sand, trying to perhaps not admit that things
:06:05. > :06:08.were as bad as they were, and it took some long time to admit that
:06:09. > :06:11.was terrorism. They have put a lot of measures in place, and they will
:06:12. > :06:16.now have to look again at security reviews in all their airports.
:06:17. > :06:19.Frank, thank you very much. The future of Port Talbot steelworks in
:06:20. > :06:23.south Wales and the thousands of jobs that depend on it is in the
:06:24. > :06:30.balance tonight. Directors of the parent company, Tata Steel, have
:06:31. > :06:37.been holding a board meeting in Mumbai today.
:06:38. > :06:44.Our business editor Simon Jack is there.
:06:45. > :06:49.Port Talbot tonight is holding its breath desperate for any word of
:06:50. > :06:54.whether any rescue plan for this loss-making plant has been rejected
:06:55. > :06:57.accepted by the Indian board. If it is rejected, there are fears it
:06:58. > :07:00.could suffer the same fate as other steel plants in England and
:07:01. > :07:04.Scotland, either mothballed, shut down altogether, or shutdown cheaply
:07:05. > :07:08.with the loss of thousands of jobs. We are all waiting to get the word,
:07:09. > :07:11.and I have been looking round the town to see what it is like to live
:07:12. > :07:13.in the shadow of an industrial crisis.
:07:14. > :07:15.The future of Port Talbot steelworks is shrouded in uncertainty today.
:07:16. > :07:18.After 30 years of working there, Andrew O'Connor is about to leave
:07:19. > :07:20.for another night shift, uncertain how many more
:07:21. > :07:25.It affects so many people in the wider area, and the wider
:07:26. > :07:28.community, like my family, my son is a local plumber.
:07:29. > :07:31.Work like that is going to become more scarce if the steelworks goes.
:07:32. > :07:33.Hopefully the survival package will be accepted by the board
:07:34. > :07:40.The decision to save this plant will not be made in Wales
:07:41. > :07:43.or in Westminster, but in Mumbai, where the board of Tata Steel have
:07:44. > :07:46.been listening to a rescue plan that could save over 3000 jobs.

:07:59. > :08:01.At its height it employed 20,000 people, but that was before China
:08:02. > :08:03.arrived on the scene, producing hundreds of millions
:08:04. > :08:06.of tonnes a year, more than its own slowing economy now
:08:07. > :08:16.We have the cheap importation of steel from China.
:08:17. > :08:18.There's a glut of steel, cheap steel, on the market.
:08:19. > :08:21.I think we have an issue around procurement where many
:08:22. > :08:23.of the projects that we have in the UK should be
:08:24. > :08:29.And thirdly then with regard to the high energy prices
:08:30. > :08:35.Where we do not have a competitive landscape at the moment.
:08:36. > :08:38.The question for the company, and ultimately for the future
:08:39. > :08:42.of this community, is whether these low prices are a temporary thing
:08:43. > :08:45.caused by a short-term glut and worth toughing out,
:08:46. > :08:49.or whether they're part of the long-term economic landscape.
:08:50. > :08:55.It involves turning losses of ?1 million a day into profit
:08:56. > :08:58.within two years, and will require Tata ploughing in more money.
:08:59. > :09:02.If it's rejected, it's feared Port Talbot could see the flames
:09:03. > :09:07.of primary industry snuffed out, suffering the same fate as Redcar

:09:46. > :09:48.you, Simon. Buy-to-let investors could soon find
:09:49. > :09:50.it harder to raise funds. The Bank of England says it wants
:09:51. > :09:53.lenders to make more stringent tests The bank is worried that the growing
:09:54. > :10:03.number of buy-to-let sales Our economics correspondent,
:10:04. > :10:10.Andy Verity, has this report. Signs of an old fear about the
:10:11. > :10:14.housing market returning to haunt us. In 1988, a rush to buy ahead of
:10:15. > :10:20.tax changes caused the housing market boom which turned to bust.
:10:21. > :10:25.Now it is buy-to-let landlords rushing to beat a big hike in stamp
:10:26. > :10:28.duty next week. For every estate agent branch, there are 406 to three
:10:29. > :10:32.house-hunters, the highest number of the highest number for 12 years.
:10:33. > :10:40.Here is what the Bank of England is worried about. Buy-to-let landlords
:10:41. > :10:43.borrowed more than ?40 billion before the crisis, and last year we
:10:44. > :10:49.were nearly already back up to that level, and it is speeding up.
:10:50. > :10:54.Lenders expect it to grow by this year and next, another ?100 billion
:10:55. > :10:58.of buy to let lending. They say lenders are all asking the right
:10:59. > :11:00.questions before they lend, so they are ordering to tighten up their
:11:01. > :11:06.standards. Borrowers must be able to afford a hike in interest rates to
:11:07. > :11:09.5.5%, and where borrowers have to chip in their own money to cover the
:11:10. > :11:14.mortgage, that income must be verified. And lenders must make sure
:11:15. > :11:19.borrowers can afford not just the mortgage but the tax payments.
:11:20. > :11:23.What's worrying, perhaps, is that after the boom and bust we have had,
:11:24. > :11:28.there are still lenders who are not doing that already. I think lenders,
:11:29. > :11:31.our members, will only be happy that this is a proportionate approach
:11:32. > :11:35.from regulators, but at the same time, because it is a balancing act,
:11:36. > :11:39.we would want to see regulators keeping a close eye on all these
:11:40. > :11:41.different interventions they are making to make sure they don't
:11:42. > :11:47.overdo putting the brakes on the buy-to-let market. Another blow for
:11:48. > :11:50.buy-to-let landlords is the restriction on tax relief for the
:11:51. > :11:54.interest they pay on their mortgages, announcing this month's
:11:55. > :12:00.budget. Now it is not just the Chancellor but Bank of England
:12:01. > :12:07.bearing down on them. I feel like this is an unnecessary crackdown on
:12:08. > :12:11.buy-to-let lending. George Osborne has already seriously put the brakes
:12:12. > :12:14.on buy-to-let, and what the Bank of England are now doing is far too
:12:15. > :12:18.late, and most lenders already have the kind of stress tests on lending
:12:19. > :12:21.that the Bank of England is talking about bringing in. But the
:12:22. > :12:22.that the Bank of England is talking England says the biggest risk to
:12:23. > :12:27.financial stability is the referendum on Europe. It says that

:21:32. > :21:35.The problem for Apple is that it just doesn't know how that was done.

:26:27. > :26:31.It was sunny for many but the shower clouds built up during the course of
:26:32. > :26:35.the day. This shot taken from Devon earlier on, then it absolutely
:26:36. > :26:40.poured down across this part of the world, as it did across Wales as
:26:41. > :26:45.well. Some thunder and lightning, some snow over Welsh mountains, and
:26:46. > :26:50.this bank of wet weather has arrived in the London area just in time for
:26:51. > :26:53.the rush hour. There has been snow over the Pennines, that will clear
:26:54. > :26:58.through. Further showers affecting mainly western areas overnight. It
:26:59. > :27:03.will be another chilly night and in some rural spots we won't be far off
:27:04. > :27:07.freezing first thing in the morning. Another day of sunshine and showers,
:27:08. > :27:12.on balance tomorrow there will be fewer showers around which means you
:27:13. > :27:17.have a better chance of staying dry, but there will still be some sharp
:27:18. > :27:21.ones around, and wintry showers across the north of Scotland in
:27:22. > :27:25.particular. In the sunshine with light winds it will feel pleasant,
:27:26. > :27:30.when the showers, long temperatures will tumble away by several degrees.
:27:31. > :27:38.As we head over to the subcontinent, it will be up into the 30s for the

:27:44. > :27:47.dry. Nothing like that at home tomorrow night, in fact it will be a
:27:48. > :27:52.particularly cold one with a widespread frost. This could be the
:27:53. > :27:56.scene first thing on Thursday morning, but Thursday is looking
:27:57. > :28:00.pretty good. The vast majority will be dry, still some showers,
:28:01. > :28:04.particularly across more northern parts of the UK, but with light
:28:05. > :28:08.winds and lots of sunshine I think Thursday will be one of the best
:28:09. > :28:13.days of the week and hopefully where you are, you will stay dry. A
:28:14. > :28:18.reminder of our main story. A man has been arrested after an Egyptian
