Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
A man who had a fake suicide vest strapped to his body hijacked | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
a passenger jet in Egypt today, forcing it to divert to Cyprus. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
All the passengers and crew were freed, but for a few tense | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
hours it looked like another terror attack, raising further questions | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
56 people were on board the flight when it left Alexandria this morning | :02:07. | :02:17. | |
for Cairo before being diverted to Larnaca Airport. | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
Our correspondent Yolande Knell is live for us there tonight. | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
A cockpit window became the emergency exit as the Egyptair crew | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
escaped this hostage drama. The hijacker then emerged | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
escaped this hostage drama. The was found to be a fake suicide belt, | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
and he surrendered to the Cypriot authorities. On board the plane, the | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
man, an Egyptian named Seif Eldin Mustafa alarmed staff when he | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
threatened to blow up. The flight, carrying over 60 people, including | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Britain and other Europeans, was forced to divert from Cairo to | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Larnaca airport. Many passengers were released, but a handful were | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
held for several hours. TRANSLATION: We got on board the | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
plane, and were surprised that the crew took away all of our passports. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
After awhile, we realised the altitude was getting higher. At | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
first the crew told us there was a problem with the plane. Only later | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
we knew it was being hijacked. As the plane remains on the tarmac, | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
this unusual incident is being investigated. And inevitably, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
questions are being asked about security. After a deadly attack last | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
year, Egypt was criticised for it airport controls. But this all | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
appears to have been caused by a passenger who only pretended to have | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
a weapon. Grainy footage has been released that apparently shows the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
hijacker undergoing security checks at Alexandria airport, and Egypt's | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Prime Minister waiver assurances that procedures were rigorous. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
TRANSLATION: We conduct strict and very accurate measures at our | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
airports and seaports. We follow up on all fronts. I hope that all will | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
go well with the continuous follow-up work, and development with | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
the new equipment we have. Security experts say there are some scenarios | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
it will always be hard to prepare for. It reminds us to get aviation | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
security more holistically. There are vulnerabilities within the | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
system, it is not a total security environment. There remain risks. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
This evening, an aircraft flew in, expecting to take travellers back to | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Egypt. While no one was harmed in today's hostage situation, it could | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
still have a negative effect on the country's tourism, making | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
holiday-makers jittery. With me now is our security | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
correspondent, Frank Gardner. It is five months since the Russian | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
plane was brought down after leaving Egypt. This will raise new questions | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
about security. It will. It is a PR disaster Egypt, as if it needed | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
another one. But to be fair, no explosives were smuggled through the | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
airport, so the initial claim is reported that a suicide belt and got | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
on board was not true, but the fact remains that this passenger, who was | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
described by the Cypriot authorities as being psychologically unstable, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
was able to smuggle through Alexandria's airport enough | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
materials that resembled a bomb, ie a padded white belt and wires | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
sticking out of it, and that I think is going to cause people quite a lot | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
of worry, it could even lead to greater security checks. Egypt is | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
still reeling from what happened five months ago, somebody smuggled | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
aboard a soft ranks can plane flying out of Sharm el-Sheikh airport to | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Russia, and that blew up in midair killing all the people on board. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Egypt, a country I have lived in twice, it does have a bad track | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
record when it comes to airline security. There is an element of | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
putting the head in the sand, trying to perhaps not admit that things | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
were as bad as they were, and it took some long time to admit that | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
was terrorism. They have put a lot of measures in place, and they will | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
now have to look again at security reviews in all their airports. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Frank, thank you very much. The future of Port Talbot steelworks in | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
south Wales and the thousands of jobs that depend on it is in the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
balance tonight. Directors of the parent company, Tata Steel, have | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
been holding a board meeting in Mumbai today. | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
Our business editor Simon Jack is there. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Port Talbot tonight is holding its breath desperate for any word of | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
whether any rescue plan for this loss-making plant has been rejected | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
accepted by the Indian board. If it is rejected, there are fears it | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
could suffer the same fate as other steel plants in England and | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Scotland, either mothballed, shut down altogether, or shutdown cheaply | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
with the loss of thousands of jobs. We are all waiting to get the word, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
and I have been looking round the town to see what it is like to live | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
in the shadow of an industrial crisis. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
The future of Port Talbot steelworks is shrouded in uncertainty today. | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
After 30 years of working there, Andrew O'Connor is about to leave | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
for another night shift, uncertain how many more | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
It affects so many people in the wider area, and the wider | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
community, like my family, my son is a local plumber. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Work like that is going to become more scarce if the steelworks goes. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Hopefully the survival package will be accepted by the board | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
The decision to save this plant will not be made in Wales | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
or in Westminster, but in Mumbai, where the board of Tata Steel have | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
been listening to a rescue plan that could save over 3000 jobs. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
It's all a far cry from the glory years. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
NEWSREEL: Today this triumph of British private enterprise | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
provides the Government with its greatest export asset. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Steel has been produced here for a hundred years. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
At its height it employed 20,000 people, but that was before China | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
arrived on the scene, producing hundreds of millions | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
of tonnes a year, more than its own slowing economy now | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
We have the cheap importation of steel from China. | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
There's a glut of steel, cheap steel, on the market. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
I think we have an issue around procurement where many | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
of the projects that we have in the UK should be | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
And thirdly then with regard to the high energy prices | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
Where we do not have a competitive landscape at the moment. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
The question for the company, and ultimately for the future | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
of this community, is whether these low prices are a temporary thing | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
caused by a short-term glut and worth toughing out, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
or whether they're part of the long-term economic landscape. | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
It involves turning losses of ?1 million a day into profit | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
within two years, and will require Tata ploughing in more money. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
If it's rejected, it's feared Port Talbot could see the flames | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
of primary industry snuffed out, suffering the same fate as Redcar | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
in Teesside, the biggest casualty of a cull which claimed 5000 steel | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Buyers and investors have partially saved plants | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
Port Talbot is holding out for a saviour of its own. | :09:19. | :09:30. | |
And we are expecting some sort of communication at eight o'clock. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
People have been winding down their windows asking if there is any news. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Whether that will be enough to conclusively sealed the fate of this | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
plant one way or another remains to be seen. Meanwhile, we wait. Thank | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
you, Simon. Buy-to-let investors could soon find | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
it harder to raise funds. The Bank of England says it wants | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
lenders to make more stringent tests The bank is worried that the growing | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
number of buy-to-let sales Our economics correspondent, | :09:54. | :10:03. | |
Andy Verity, has this report. Signs of an old fear about the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
housing market returning to haunt us. In 1988, a rush to buy ahead of | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
tax changes caused the housing market boom which turned to bust. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
Now it is buy-to-let landlords rushing to beat a big hike in stamp | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
duty next week. For every estate agent branch, there are 406 to three | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
house-hunters, the highest number of the highest number for 12 years. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Here is what the Bank of England is worried about. Buy-to-let landlords | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
borrowed more than ?40 billion before the crisis, and last year we | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
were nearly already back up to that level, and it is speeding up. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Lenders expect it to grow by this year and next, another ?100 billion | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
of buy to let lending. They say lenders are all asking the right | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
questions before they lend, so they are ordering to tighten up their | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
standards. Borrowers must be able to afford a hike in interest rates to | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
5.5%, and where borrowers have to chip in their own money to cover the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
mortgage, that income must be verified. And lenders must make sure | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
borrowers can afford not just the mortgage but the tax payments. | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
What's worrying, perhaps, is that after the boom and bust we have had, | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
there are still lenders who are not doing that already. I think lenders, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
our members, will only be happy that this is a proportionate approach | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
from regulators, but at the same time, because it is a balancing act, | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
we would want to see regulators keeping a close eye on all these | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
different interventions they are making to make sure they don't | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
overdo putting the brakes on the buy-to-let market. Another blow for | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
buy-to-let landlords is the restriction on tax relief for the | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
interest they pay on their mortgages, announcing this month's | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
budget. Now it is not just the Chancellor but Bank of England | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
bearing down on them. I feel like this is an unnecessary crackdown on | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
buy-to-let lending. George Osborne has already seriously put the brakes | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
on buy-to-let, and what the Bank of England are now doing is far too | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
late, and most lenders already have the kind of stress tests on lending | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
that the Bank of England is talking about bringing in. But the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
that the Bank of England is talking England says the biggest risk to | :12:22. | :12:22. | |
financial stability is the referendum on Europe. It says that | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
financial stability is the uncertainty surrounding the vote | :12:28. | :12:28. | |
could force up borrowing costs across the economy. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
There are new questions about safety in boxing after Saturday's title | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
fight. Nick Blackwell is still in a medically induced coma in hospital | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
after losing to Chris Eubank junior. Today, Chris Eubank senior has | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
after losing to Chris Eubank junior. questioned the decision to allow the | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
sport to go on. Richard Conway has more. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Doctors later revealed he had suffered a small bleed on his brain. | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Today, his opponent, Chris Eubank Junior, | :13:08. | :13:08. | |
together with his father, Chris Senior, the former | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
When I am watching him after the fight and he is lying | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
on the ground with an oxygen mask, that is when worry sets in. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Wow, I didn't realise this was going to happen, you know? | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
With Blackwell's face bloodied, the swelling visible, | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
Eubank Senior reportedly banged on the canvas during the fight, | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
He then stepped into the ring to warn his son that his opponent | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
was hurt, questioning why the bout was continuing. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
One, he's getting hurt, two, why isn't the referee | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
It was Eubank Senior's 1981 world title contest against Michael Watson | :14:00. | :14:11. | |
After a brutal exchange of punches, Watson spent 40 days in a coma, | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
and had six brain operations, leaving him partially paralysed. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
The memory of that night still resonates. | :14:24. | :14:24. | |
The objective is always to advise my fighter, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
who is in this case my son, and also, if necessary, | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
From the seventh round, I told him what I told him | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
because it was based on an emotion I went through 25 years ago | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Boxing's regulators say they are satisfied with the way | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
the fight was officiated, but one brain injury charity says | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
there are serious questions to answer. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
The surgeon who operated on Michael Watson 25 years ago | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
believes more effort should now be devoted to minimising harm | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
You will never get rid of it, like you could never get rid | :14:59. | :15:08. | |
of injury in all sport, but the only way of bringing that | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
down is to stop fights earlier, and I think this has raised | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
Nick Blackwell remains in hospital in a medically induced coma, | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
but it's believed there are no plans to operate on him. | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
Over the weekend, his family thanked the public | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
They, together with the world of boxing, are hopeful he can | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
An Egyptian playing is hijacked by a man wearing a fake suicide belt. All | :15:31. | :15:55. | |
passengers and crew on board and are released unharmed. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Privacy questions after the FBI say they have hacked into one. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: England's cricketers, | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
both men and women, get ready for tomorrow's | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
semifinals at the world T20 tournament in India. | :16:09. | :16:21. | |
The number of people sleeping rough in England is rising. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Latest government figures show an increase of 30%. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
In Manchester, it's risen by 50% in the last year. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
Some of the city's homeless are now living in tents in a makeshift camp | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Our UK Affairs Correspondent Jeremy Cooke has spent a night with them. | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Gary is 36, trying to get off the heroin and get off the street. | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
It's upsetting, it is depressing really, you know. | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
You walk past someone's house, you look in the window. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
You see them around the TV, all warm and cosy. | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
You feel so depressed, you feel so low. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
I was staying in a lift shaft in a car park, | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
and you know, getting woke up at five in the morning by the guy | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
who's mopping the place out, saying "come on, mate, | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
off you pop, on your way," is degrading. | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
It's embarrassing, very embarrassing. | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
Volunteers for the Coffee 4 Craig charity know that in Manchester | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
alone the number of rough sleepers has leapt by 50% in the past year. | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Every night brings more mouths to feed. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
As more lives descend into chaos and homelessness. | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
In many ways, this is the easy part because later tonight it will get | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
colder, and while some of these people may be sleeping in hostels | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
and temporary accommodation, others will be sleeping rough | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
In squalid, makeshift city centre campsites, | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
Booze and heroin and everything in between. | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
Dave lives like the others, amid the filth. | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
He is covering his face, not because of the law | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
but because he doesn't want his family | :18:21. | :18:21. | |
It's hard to keep your spirits up when you're | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
I mean at the end of the day, I lost my housing, I've | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
lost my benefits, I lost the girl that I loved. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
I never expected to be living in a little tent like this. | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
Yeah, I would say this is my lowest moment. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
The Government says it is protecting and raising funds to prevent | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
homelessness, and that no one should have to sleep rough. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
In Manchester though, it's not proving that simple. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
I don't think people should be sleeping on the streets | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
of Manchester at all but we are struggling, | :19:09. | :19:09. | |
trying to find places for everyone to go. | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
We are in a real challenging situation. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
As the city moves on, the homeless risk | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
Gary, for one, is fighting back, he's now in temporary | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
accommodation and has been off the drugs for three weeks. | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
I'm just trying my best now because obviously | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
I can't carry on down this path, it's the wrong way to go. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Starting to see things for what they are. | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
I want to start work straight away, I want to jump in. | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
Homelessness is a growing problem in cities across the country, | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
A legal stand-off between the FBI and the technology giant Apple | :19:48. | :20:01. | |
The FBI wanted the company to unlock the phone used by the man | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
who was behind the shooting of 14 people at San Bernardino | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Now the US Justice Department says it's managed to access data | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
Our technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports. | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
It was an attack that left 14 people dead and then sparked a conflict | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
between the US government and America's wealthiest technology | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
The FBI wanted to know whether the two San Bernardino | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
killers had collaborated with others, and demanded that Apple | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
help it crack the passcode of an iPhone belonging | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
Now the FBI says someone else has helped it get access to the data | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
on the phone and the court case has been dropped. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Basically it's over for them right now. | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
The broader issue is not over though. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
The Government and law enforcement are going to keep wanting | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Tech companies are going to keep fighting back. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Apple said creating what it called a back door to the iPhone | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
"We believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent." | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
The statement went on: "This case should never have been brought." | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
The FBI wanted Apple to write software which would stop the iPhone | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
from deleting its data if too many failed attempts were made | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
In the end, someone else helped it get past the phone's defences. | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
The problem for Apple is that it just doesn't know how that was done. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
So it can't be sure that hundreds of millions of iPhone customers | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
around the world are safe from a similar attack. | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
One Israeli newspaper claimed it was a Tel Aviv-based firm called | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
It's already developed software to crack the codes of older iPhones. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Apple constantly upgrades its software when it discovers | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
One security expert told me this time it's working in the dark. | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
We find ourselves in the rather ironic position where the FBI know | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
about a vulnerability, apparently, in Apple's device, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
the iPhone, which Apple themselves don't know about. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Apple have not been cooperating with the FBI so far. | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
So of course if Apple don't know about this problem and what this fix | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
needs to be, then they can't fix it for their customers. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
As it tries to make those customers more secure, | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
Apple is in an arms race with hackers probing its defences, | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
and this time it is the US government which is ahead | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
A brief look at some of the day's other other news stories... | :22:36. | :22:47. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
an investigation after a 24-year-old man was shot by police | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
There are unconfirmed reports armed officers called on the man to put | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
A 32-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
of a shopkeeper in the south side of Glasgow. | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
40-year-old Asad Shah was killed outside his shop last Thursday. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Police had described the incident as a religiously prejudiced attack. | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
100 new nurse training places will be made available | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
in Northern Ireland from the autumn onwards. | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Northern Ireland's health minister, Simon Hamilton, made | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
the announcement due to what he said was a rising demand for nurses | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
They've been seen as the cornerstones of our community. | :23:26. | :23:37. | |
A trip to the local library used to be a regular occurrence a way | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
An investigation by BBC News has revealed that more than 300 | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
libraries across the country have closed in six years. | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
Thousands of jobs have disappeared and many are manned by volunteers | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
leading to fears for the future of professional librarians. | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
Bringing books to life, Young wizards conjuring up the magic of | :23:52. | :24:10. | |
Harry Potter at this library in Wiltshire. It is a wet day in the | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Easter holidays and this place is busy. What's your favourite book? | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
That one, Room On The Broom. I often browse through cookery books and | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
things that I might not be able to buy in the shops. What have you got | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
today? That is a stamp catalogue, they are ?25 each to buy, there is | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
six in a series so it is a lot of money. I can look at it when I wish. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Figures obtained by BBC News teams across the UK show that in the last | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
six years, 343 libraries have closed. During that time, almost | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
8000 jobs have gone in UK libraries but over the same period, | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
8000 jobs have gone in UK libraries recruited. Volunteers like Sue, | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
Joyce and Christine who have saved their local library but they say | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
they cannot do everything. their local library but they say | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
end of the day we need trained librarian on the end of the phone | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
whenever we librarian on the end of the phone | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
to be able to deal with the things we cannot do. We don't have the | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
depth of knowledge they have got about books, literature. You know, | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
that's their career, whereas for us it is a pleasure. | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
that's their career, whereas for us Libraries are exciting places... | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
Councils say libraries need to diversify to stay relevant and | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
viable in tough economic times. For those really socially isolated | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
people, it is a space in every community that they can | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
people, it is a space in every welcome. They don't have to pay for | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
anything and yet they are welcome to sit and be in the library. Do you | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
think libraries will survive in a digital future? We have to move with | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
times. Across the UK there wide variations. Figures show libraries | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
in England have suffered the deepest cuts. | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
This weather cannot be trusted, sunny one minute, raining the next. | :26:14. | :26:26. | |
It was sunny for many but the shower clouds built up during the course of | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
the day. This shot taken from Devon earlier on, then it absolutely | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
poured down across this part of the world, as it did across Wales as | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
well. Some thunder and lightning, some snow over Welsh mountains, and | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
this bank of wet weather has arrived in the London area just in time for | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
the rush hour. There has been snow over the Pennines, that will clear | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
through. Further showers affecting mainly western areas overnight. It | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
will be another chilly night and in some rural spots we won't be far off | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
freezing first thing in the morning. Another day of sunshine and showers, | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
on balance tomorrow there will be fewer showers around which means you | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
have a better chance of staying dry, but there will still be some sharp | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
ones around, and wintry showers across the north of Scotland in | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
particular. In the sunshine with light winds it will feel pleasant, | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
when the showers, long temperatures will tumble away by several degrees. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
As we head over to the subcontinent, it will be up into the 30s for the | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
world T 20s. 27 degrees even in the evening, but importantly it will be | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
dry. Nothing like that at home tomorrow night, in fact it will be a | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
particularly cold one with a widespread frost. This could be the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
scene first thing on Thursday morning, but Thursday is looking | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
pretty good. The vast majority will be dry, still some showers, | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
particularly across more northern parts of the UK, but with light | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
winds and lots of sunshine I think Thursday will be one of the best | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
days of the week and hopefully where you are, you will stay dry. A | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
reminder of our main story. A man has been arrested after an Egyptian | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
plane was hijacked. The aircraft landed in Cairo and all on board | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
were released unharmed. That's all from the BBC News at Six | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
so it's goodbye from me | :28:27. | :28:27. |
