Hello and welcome to World News Today. | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
Desperate, tense moments for the passengers and crew | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
on a highjacked EgyptAir flight turned to relief today. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
When the man who'd apparently boarded the flight with a suicide | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
explosives vest disembarked the plane and gave himself | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
The plane was originally scheduled to travel from Alexandria to Cairo | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
but was diverted to Larnaca Airport in Cyprus, where it's | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
The man released most passengers when the plane landed. | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
One of the remaining hostages - who appears to be a crew member - | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
managed to make a daring escape as you can see here. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The suicide belt turned out to be a fake, with Cypriot officials | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
saying the man is psychologically unstable, with no political motive. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Our Correspondent, Yolande Knell reports Larnaca Airport. | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
A cockpit window became the emergency exit as the Egyptair | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The hijacker then emerged wearing what | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
was found to be a fake suicide belt, and he surrendered to the Cypriot | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
On board the plane, the man, an Egyptian named Seif Eldin | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
Mustafa, alarmed staff when he threatened to blow up. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
The flight, carrying over 60 people, including | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Britain and other Europeans, was forced to divert from Cairo | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Many passengers were released, but a handful were held | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
TRANSLATION: We got on board the plane, and were surprised | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
that the crew took away all of our passports. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
After awhile, we realised the altitude was getting higher. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
At first the crew told us there was a | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Only later, we knew it was being hijacked. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
As the plane remains on the tarmac, this unusual incident | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
And inevitably, questions are being asked about | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
After a deadly attack last year, Egypt was criticised | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
But this all appears to have been caused by a passenger who only | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
Grainy footage has been released that apparently shows the hijacker | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
undergoing security checks at Alexandria airport, | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
and Egypt's Prime Minister gave assurances | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
TRANSLATION: We conduct strict and very accurate measures | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
I hope that all will go well with the continuous | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
follow-up work, and development with the new equipment we have. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Security experts say there are some scenarios | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
it will always be hard to prepare for. | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
It reminds us to look at aviation security more holistically. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
There are vulnerabilities within the system - | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
it is not a total security environment. | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
This evening, an aircraft flew in, expecting to take travellers | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
While no-one was harmed in today's hostage situation, | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
it could still have a negative effect on the country's tourism, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
We hope to get the latest from our correspondence at Cairo airport when | :04:19. | :04:33. | |
the plane lands with the passengers on board. | :04:34. | :04:34. | |
Well, joining me now in the studio is Mark Harris, | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
from Crisis Response Service at Olive Group, an expert | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
And in our Southampton Studio, Eric Moody, a former BA pilot. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Eric, if I could start with you. The worst nightmare for any pilot. The | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
pilot from Egyptair has been praised for the calm way he responded to | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
this. What are you trying to do and have you ever been through it? No, I | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
have not been through it. I have some friends who have been through | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
it. I lived through the whole time of flights, through the late 1960s | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
and 1970s when hijacking was rife and it sounds very much like the | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
flight heading to Cuba with Cuban refugees on board, but the training, | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
what can you do? I think they did the right thing. You give in, but | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
not easily. You have to do what he wants, the hijacker, you have to | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
listen to him. Is there a code that you press in to some sort of | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
computer to alert authorities that you have been hijacked? Well, there | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
are means by which you can't declare an emergency on an aeroplane without | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
speaking, yes. Kate. Mark, as far as you're concerned as a negotiator, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
what are the key first steps? The first thing to do is to try to calm | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
the situation down. It is going to be very tense, obviously, within the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
aircraft, so their crew or cabin crew and things will have received | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
training and guidance on how to minimise the tension, which sounds | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
very difficult to do, and it is difficult to do, but it is one of | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
those things you've got to try and do. When lines of the negation are | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
opened, and if the person, the hijacker or hijackers, are speaking | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
a different line which, presumably you are going to have to go through | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
an intermediate, a translator, for that, and make sure that translator | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
is going to be able to impart that want to establish in terms of | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
negotiation? Certainly, very much so, and that is why, when you have | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
those situations, we hear that and Egyptian individual, most likely on | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
the ground, so I don't know what the line which was between them, but it | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
may well have been a second language, so again, that can be a | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
may well have been a second and making sure people understand | :06:49. | :06:49. | |
what the overall objective and making sure people understand | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
is the safety of life and reducing the risk and the threats | :06:54. | :07:14. | |
when you lost all engines. What did you say to the passengers? I just | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
wanted to get you say to the passengers? I just | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
attention of the world's press. I said good evening. This is the | :07:22. | :07:38. | |
attention of the world's press. I being hijacked, your prime | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
attention of the world's press. I and to the airline, and so would | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
make an announcement like that as captain? Well, you don't want to | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
upset the hijacker, that is the big thing. You want to do... You have | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
got to thing. You want to do... You have | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
can do, you will do and if you ask you to fly further than the fuel you | :07:57. | :07:57. | |
have got, you can't do that. You you to fly further than the fuel you | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
have to be persuasive, but you don't give in submitted late. You give in | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
to his demands within reason. You are trying to survive and keep the | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
aircraft and, more importantly, the passengers and the crew say. Just on | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
that question of giving in, when do you offer concessions or do you not | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
offer concessions? Is it you were told just to keep the dialogue | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
going? I think it depends very much of the objectives are of the | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
hijackers themselves in a big red becomes a terrorist situation then | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
it is very much in the hands of the Government and the authorities on | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
the ground, so depending on what the hijackers objectives are, as the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
negotiator, you ain't is to keep the talking going on so you can | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
establish what they are and then there are other people who are then | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
looking at potentially what minor concessions might be made in order | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
to secure the lives of the passengers and crew. Just briefly, I | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
know you have been involved in several of the situations. Do you | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
know when the authorities decide to go in and take the plane by force or | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
are you kept away from that decision? Well, I think, as a | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
commercial response to crisis management consultant, it is most | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
likely we would not be but our client probably would be told at the | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
last moment that that is going to happen. All rights. Thank you both | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
very much for joining me on the programme. | :09:21. | :09:21. | |
In the latest twist in an already extraordinary campaign, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
it's emerged that Republican Presidential candidate | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Donald Trump's campaign manager has been charged with battery. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Corey Lewandowski was charged with intentionally grabbing | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
and bruising a reporter at a campaign event on March 8th. | :09:34. | :09:46. | |
Florida police have released these images which they say show | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
The Trump campaign have said that Mr Lewandowski is innocent | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Our correspondent Barbara Plett Usher is in Washington. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
What has the reaction been in Washington to this? Well, the | :09:58. | :10:15. | |
reaction from crucially Mr Trump's campaign opponents, his rivals for | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
the presidential nomination, has been to say that this is typical of | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Donald Trump's style, that it reflects the culture of his | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
campaign, it reflects the character of the candidate, saw his opponents | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
have jumped onto this incident to push their advantage if they can | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
indeed do so. If I could speak about Mr Trump's reaction, this is | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
somebody for him, the campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski is | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
someone who is very important to him. He has a very small team around | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
him and Mr Lewandowski was his right-hand man. Both of them had | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
initially said nothing had happened, that Mr Lewandowski said he had not | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
even touch the reporter and now the video is out that he did in fact | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
show some grabbing of and pulling her backwards, but Mr Trump has come | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
out and said, look, the video is not showing anything. He said look at | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
the tapes, nothing there. He said it should not really be defined as | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
assault, but nevertheless Mr Lewandowski has been charged and he | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
will have to deal with the fact that he has to appear in court to defend | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
himself. You have covered and we all have covered big campaigns, but that | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
is one of the rough and tumble things. I have seen people pushed to | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
the ground. Are some people treating this as a sort of storm in a teacup? | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
Well, if you look at the pictures, what you see is Mr Lewandowski | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
grabbing the reporter and pulling her back as she is trying to | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
question Mr Trump and you are right, in the nature of political rough and | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
tumble, it doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary, but | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
according to the law in Florida, a simple battery is defined as | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
touching or striking somebody intentionally against their will and | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
the reporter has said she was bruised will stop she has in fact | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
shown the bruise on her Twitter page and there is a case to be made. How | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
serious it is, I think it is going to add to the narrative at the very | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
least that Mr Trump is running a campaign that is raucous, is rowdy, | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
is sometimes visibly confrontational, something for which | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
he has been criticised, but something he will continue to | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
defend. All right. And he very much. -- thank you very much. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Afghan officials have told the BBC an American jet has crashed | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
The M16 reportedly went down near Bagram airfield. | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Details at this stage are sketchy and what may have caused the crash | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
We will keep you updated with developments here on BBC News. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Now a look at some of the day's other news. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
America is ordering the families of US | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
diplomats and military personnel to leave posts in southern Turkey | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
The State Department and Pentagon said dependents of American | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Consulate in Adana and the nearby Incirlik air base must leave. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
The move comes amid heightened security concerns throughout Turkey | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
and was accompanied by an updated travel warning advising US | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
citizens of an increased threat of terrorist attacks. | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
Fresh from recapturing the ancient city of Palmyra, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
Syrian government troops are reported to have advanced | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
towards another key town held by the Islamic State group | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
A Human Rights group says government forces - | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
backed by intense Russian air strikes - seized a series | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
Dozens of Japanese scientists and engineers are scrambling | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
to save a satellite, and more than a quarter of a billion | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
dollars of investment, tumbling out of control in space. | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Hitomi was launched last month and designed to study energetic | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
space objects such as supermassive black holes, neutron stars, | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
But now time is now running out to save the mission. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Scientists in Australia are warning that a large number of corals | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
in the Great Barrier Reef could die within the next few months, | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
because it's suffering from some of its worst ever damage. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
The damage is being caused by bleaching, which happens | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
when warmer water causes the corals to get weaker. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
More than 200 people have been detained in Pakistan in the hunt | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
for those behind the Easter Sunday bombing that killed at least 70 | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Weapons and ammunition have also been seized in raids | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
A breakaway group of the Pakistani Taliban claimed | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil reports from the scene | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Celebrating Easter Sunday in the park. | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
This young boy was caught up in carnage. | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
Now it feels like a ghost town. Everywhere around me are signs of | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
the carnage that took place here. There are remains of pools of blood, | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
abandoned shoes, broken glass everywhere and of course these | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
destroyed food stands, where parents would have come to buy snacks for | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
their children. This, of course, now is a site of the massacre saw areas | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
of the park have now been cordoned off and around the park, people have | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
come with flowers and messages of solidarity. Over here are the rides | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
where children were playing when the suicide bomber came in and detonated | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
explosives, causing one of the worst attacks Lahore has ever seen. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Pakistan is in shock and in morning while the authorities and Government | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
has vowed to go after the militants. The army, however, are taking the | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
lead on security operations. They have announced hundreds of arrests | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
and a number of raids not just here in Lahore but also across areas in | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Pakistan. Now, the real concern and fear here, people is whether soft | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
targets like this one could be hit again and if whether the security | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
forces are able to prevent that from happening. Pakistanis will now be | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
watching anxiously to see whether the political and the military | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
leadership can keep security under control. | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
It will take months to reopen Brussels Zaventem airport fully, | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
its CEO has warned, as staff return to the site a week | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
after it was targeted by Islamist bombers. | :16:36. | :16:36. | |
The airport will open at 20% capacity on Wednesday. | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
Enhanced security measures are being introduced and further | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
screening of baggage will take place before passengers reach | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
35 people were killed and 96 more are still in hospital | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
after bombs targeted the airport and a metro train. | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
Meanwhile, the mayor of Brussels was in Paris on Tuesday to meet | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Speaking to reporters in French and English, he was asked | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
about the response to the attacks in Brussels which left 35 dead. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
analysis to be done about the investigation | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
and the manner in which things unfolded. | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
Otherwise, these attacks wouldn't have happened. | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
Do you now feel that this Belgian-Franco | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
terrorist network, that you have broken the back of it? | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
I hope it and we hope it all, yes, certainly. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
The situation in Brussels is still going on. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
There are still a lot of investigations now in Brussels, | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
so it is maybe too early to say it is finished, | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
but there is good work together between the French police | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Let's catch up with some of the days other main stories. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
The World Health Organisation says that the Ebola outbreak | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
in West Africa no longer constitutes an international emergency. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
The announcement was made by the organisation's chief | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Margaret Chan, raising confidence that the remaining isolated cases | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
This officially ends the emergency first declared in August 2014. | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Thailand has revealed a draft of its proposed new constitution. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
Military generals have promised stability after a decade | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
But critics say that the charter is undemocratic and gives too much | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
power to the military, who staged a coup two years ago. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
The Oscar-winning American actress, Patty Duke, has died | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
Ms Duke won an Academy Award in 1963 at the age of 16, | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
for her portrayal of Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |

There are new questions about safety in boxing after Saturday's British | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Nick Blackwell is still in a medically induced coma | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
in hospital after losing to Chris Eubank Junior. | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
Today the winner's father - the former world champion | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
Chris Eubank - has questioned the decision to allow the fight | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Our Sports Correspondent Richard Conway has more. | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
Saturday's contest for the British middleweight title ended in defeat | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
for Nick Blackwell during the 10th round, but by then, a huge swelling | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Doctors later revealed he had suffered a small bleed on his brain. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Today, his opponent, Chris Eubank Junior, | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
together with his father, Chris Senior, the former | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
When I am watching him after the fight and he is lying | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
on the ground with an oxygen mask, that is when worry sets in. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Wow, I didn't realise this was going to happen, you know? | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
And I went over there, are you going to be all right, | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Eubank Senior reportedly banged on the canvas during the fight, | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
He then stepped into the ring to warn his son that his opponent | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
was hurt, questioning why the bout was continuing. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
One, he's getting hurt, two, why isn't the referee | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Even inspiring, I always tell Junior to stay away from the heads. His | :20:31. | :20:47. | |
punching ability is dangerous. It was Eubank Senior's 1981 world | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
title contest against Michael Watson After a brutal exchange of punches, | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Watson spent 40 days in a coma, and had six brain operations, | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
leaving him partially paralysed. The memory of that | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
night still resonates. The surgeon who operated | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
on Michael Watson 25 years ago believes more effort should now be | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
devoted to minimising harm You will never get rid of it, | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
like you could never get rid of injury in all sport, | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
but the only way of bringing that down is to stop fights earlier, | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
and I think this has raised Nick Blackwell remains in hospital | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
in a medically induced coma, but it's believed there are no | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
plans to operate on him. Over the weekend, his | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
family thanked the public They, together with the world | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
of boxing, are hopeful he can 2015 was a corker of a year | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
for British vineyards, with record sales at home | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
and around the globe. But could British producers been | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
doing even more to boost sales Go into your local | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
restaurant for dinner, and you may order a Spanish red | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
or a French white to go But how about a glass | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
from much closer to home, grown here in the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
English countryside? These vines may not look | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
like much at the moment, but the team here in Kent | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
are going to be monitoring them closely over the next | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
few months, in time for harvest, when | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
they are going to be This is what the vineyard looked | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
like in full bloom last summer. And it is becoming more and more | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
likely you will see scenes like this as millions | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
of pounds is being invested into English and Welsh | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
wine, with more and more vineyards It even has the interest | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
of the champagne house Tattinger, But can it really compete with those | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
well-established brands? Similar to champagne - | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
it uses the same three great grapes of champagne, Pinot Meunier, | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, we age it, so it has | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
the same soil that is And it is one of those things that | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
from our point of view just And it seems many agree, | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
as English wine production has doubled in the past five years, | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
with sales reaching a record ?150 million in 2015, which is thought | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
to be down to a number of factors. We're learning more | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
about the vineyards, and the places, the right places | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
to plant the right vines. There's more expertise, | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
because of more available. And there's a growing eagerness | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
from consumers to engage with wine and food producers, | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
which all comes together and works. Now, the Government is setting | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
new targets to increase wine exports tenfold, from 250,000 | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
bottles to 2.5 million by 2020. It plans to offer support, | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
resources, and help wine producers identify more suitable land | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
for sparkling wine production. Let's return now to our main story | :23:50. | :24:14. | |
of the hijacked Egyptair plane which was due to land in Alexandria but | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
the passengers have been taken off and put on another plane and are due | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
to arrive at Carrie wrote -- Cairo airport shortly. When I lead you to | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
touch down, Sally? We are still waiting here in Cairo airport for | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
the passengers to arrive. We have the family members here. There is a | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
sense of belief among these family members. They are happy that ones | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
are coming back safely after the moments of anxiety and extreme | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
tension they experienced in the morning. A lot of media people are | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
around as well. We are also expecting the Prime Minister to | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
arrive, where he will receive the passengers. So far, what we | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
understand is that the hijacker is still detained in Cyprus. According | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
to sources of the Egyptian Ministry of the interior, he has a permanent | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
record that includes robberies and fraud but we do not know when he is | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
expected to be deported back to Cairo. Just briefly, Sally, any | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
questions about airport security? Definitely. The fact that a person | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
was able to hijack a plane that easily in one of the Egyptian | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
airports raises lots of concerns about how accurate and vigorous | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
there are security checks are. All right. Thank you very much indeed. | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
But for now from me, Tim Wilcox, and the rest of the team, | :25:49. | :25:55. |
