and could be linked to his ex-wife. it raises more questions about security at egyptian airports. months after a russian plane was blown up soon after it left one had to escape through the cockpit, everyone else used the mobile stairs. they were escorted by police, the hijacker is believed to be among them. all facts are now being analyzed. he is now in police custody. >> egypt air flight 181 was
2:03 pm
flying to cairo when it was diverted many cypress. oh had given a letter demanding the release of female prisoners in egypt, and also calling for a meeting with us h former wife. but his motivation is still in depuyt. at some point he demanded to meet with an e.u. representative, at other points he demanded to depart and head to another destination, he raised no specific demands. he had claimed that he was wearing a belt, but the plains crew had to treat it as a credible threat. from the search of the aircraft, no explosives were found. not on the suspect, nor on the aircraft itself.
2:04 pm
>> this evening the airports it is all quiet at the end of the runway, the aircraft itself just a few hundred meters away there has been cleared. and the authorities here in cypress are saying that no explosives where are found on the hijacker or on the aircraft itself. the airport is approaching normal operations of course,
2:05 pm
those who began their journey. there are some that have been waiting here to finally complete that journey, and make their way to cairo. as for the investigation itself, police say this was a criminal act, it doesn't appear to have been act of terror, and the man involved will face court and likely charge on wednesday, they say the authorities here that they did everything by the book, putting the safety of those 81 people onboard this aircraft as their highest priority, simply the crew had to act, will they believed this was a genuine suicide belt or not, as if it were a real clear threat to the safety of the people onboard that aircraft. it was a terrifying few hours for all of them but now it was over and the investigation gets underway, much of will it be about the motives they will exam exactly the contents of the
2:06 pm
letter that was thrown out, apparently for this suspect's estranged wife to see if that may have been key to his decision to do what he did on board the flight at the time of the hijacking i spoke to her earlier and asked her about the most worrying moment. >> it was the moment when i knew we had been hijacked and we were the sea. i felt like he either bombs the plane or he just demand that woe land on the sea, or keep flying until there is no more fuel, so i had several scenarios on my mind, trying to make peace with it yeah,ives horrified. >> and we took off northerly everything was normal, nothing was weird maybe after a while everyone notices that we should have handed and haven't landed yet, and then i was looking out the window and i saw the sea, so it was a bit weird to see the sea.
2:07 pm
usually when you go to cairo you don't pass by the sea. nobody imagines that it could be that kind of thing. so then one of the cabin crew passed be i the passengers and collected all the passports without saying any reason, just that they have a problem and that they cannot say anything more, they just need pass ports i think about 45 minutes later the cabin crew just told us that we have been hijacked and that was it, they didn't say anything else, they didn't say by whom, or what demands are owhere we are heading we are just flying. >> the mediterranean sea and that was it. >> what did you think at that ? what went through your mind? >> it was a horrifying moment, i couldn't believe it i thought it was like a april's fool joke or something. it could not be real. and i think like most of the passengers everyone thought it was like no end.
2:08 pm
that reese no hope for this plane to land pause we were. >> the sea, and with these people you never know when and how they can proceed with this act. >> and so by that stage you knew the plane has been hi jacks how long after that was it that you landed? well, the captain department tell us anything, it was always through the cabin crew. but i think we stays like an hour and a half above the sea, knowing that we had been hijacks. and then we knew that we were going to land in cypress, which was a release for many, but still not safe because you didn't know what he wanted to do there, or what his intentions were, so it took a couple of hours to know that we might be safe. >> who is the consulting editor of flight global.
2:09 pm
so it still all ended safely in this case, but it is worries that this can be hijacks in this case. >> it is very worries because that has broken the mold of the security system that was set up after 9/11. these two events in egypt, over the last six months the first one was the sabotage of a metro jet at the end of october the airplane was blown up because a bomb somehow got onboard that aircraft. and everybody dies. now we have this one this is entirely different, but it is still a failure of security, now we are going find out soon why this occurred, but the drill since 9/11, is that the security is so much better now than it used to be, that there have been a
2:10 pm
lot of hijack attempts but this is the first one that has been completely successful in h terms of they just demanded something, made a threat and got taken to where they wanted to go. >> i was talking to the passenger, and he said the chap never left the back of the plane. it was all relayed through the crew. >> yes. >> is it fair enough that they believed that this guy might have had explosives on him. >> that is the issue i don't think they had a choice. because what happened is that everybody's confidence, and i think including egypt air crews confidence, in the egyptian airport security had been broken. and therefore when he heard this threat, he thought well, look, security should stop somebody with ad is vest getting through, they would be detected by even lax security, you can't get one of those through, but i don't
2:11 pm
think he has enough or had enough faith in the security system which was blown apart by the sheikh event, and therefore he felt that he had to believe the hijacker, he had no -- so i am not criticizing the captain for this, i think he did what he felt he had to do. >> in general terms aviation security has been back in the spotlight, after the brussells attack, and now obviously this, do you think there are any measures that may be brought in that may make a difference the brussells airport thing, that was not beyond security, that was in the public area of the airport, where you go to see your ofriends off, everybody is allowed in there without a security check, so that could have been if you go back to the paris event, that was just another public space they used an airport, so the airport was almost coincidental. what we have to do is bring back faith so that the captain can say when somebody makes a threat and says i have a gun, i have a bomb,
2:12 pm
the captain can say you couldn't have, no i will not do what you are demanding, that is -- that has worked since 9/11, and now it is failing. >> thank you very much indeed for coming to talk to us. >> thank you. >> coming up in this news hour, israeli soldier in court over the killing of a palestinian man that layed injured on the ground. china is urged to tighten vaccine security after tens of millions of dollars went mittsing and still ahead in sport, the football nations continue their bid to reach the 2018 world cup in rush are sha the round up of the action coming up. only to pakistan where the government has given protestors to leave a staged
2:13 pm
sit in. several thousand demonstrators have been camped at and main avenue, close to key government buildings since sunday. their supporters have executed an assassin who was hung after his call for blasphemy reform. to remove the protestors and will move in if the area isn't cleared by the dead lean. the latest on this developing story. joining us live, so what is happening with those protestors now. >> well, a few hours ago, the government has given the government an ultimate up the, and then they sent two to try to talk to them, but after that, the country interior minister came with a prez conference, and he said that he wanted the media to be present when these people
2:14 pm
are removed he said they had mobilized thousands and they said that the police had been given strict instructions that no weapons will be used. so most probably if this issue is not resolved by morning the law enforcement agencies will go there overpower this crowd because we are told there's roughly about 800 to 1,000 people at the maximum and the police forces are about 7,000, so it will be seven to one, however, the interior minister did say that they are using human shields they had brought old people with them, some women as well so that being the allegation from the government, for now at least we know that nothing is going to happen tonight despite that fact that it seems imminent that a show down was going to happen so we will have to wait to see what kind of steps the
2:15 pm
government will take, however the interior minister will say that they will pack up the show by tomorrow morning. >> live for us, thank you. >> police in pakistan have arrested more than 200 people and questioned more than 5,000 since a park bombing that kills 73 people the bryan minister now promising to stand out suck attacks a faction u.p.s. pros that it carries out the attacks but most of the victims were muslims. people have been calling for security to be improved something must be done for this, some solid steps must be taken like toasts should be caught, we are being terrorized. our government should beef up security and look after people. this was a sad incident, how awful sit that many people that came here were killed.
2:16 pm
2:17 pm
this effect dent taking place, so this is what is happening. some have said there wasn't any security provided. there was some brought in at churches and so on but nothing in the public, is that something that should have happened? and will that change? >> i think this is the wrong perception, for the reason this with the easter congregation as well. for the community here, in pakistan. there were 11 policeman, specifically in this park, along with 40 security guards which this park already had on it's own. so there wasn't any -- i think -- there's a misconception that there was no security.
2:18 pm
a lot of police force was deployed. fur thousand people were deployed. this for interception needs to. >> i was going to say the one thing that seems to have changed now is that the military has been called in, how will the response go down? in the past i understand that they were reluctant to have rangers proud in, has that changed and how will the military work on the ground? >> obviously, there was a reluctance on the part of the government to bring in the pro vince, but certainly after what has happened or is happening across the country,
2:19 pm
and there was a need felt, because after the patient, the terrorists or the suspect would fan out and they are in possibly be going to all parts of the country, and certainly in a bigger city, in a state. so the government has overcome that, situation, and has now involved the pair military and military forces. and this is not going to be a large scale military operation in that sense as it is underscores. it would be an information based and zell jens let operation, which would be against the targets really under the radar of either the local police or of the intelligence agencies. so i think there's going to be a great making of success,
2:20 pm
in this area, and the coming days and weeks and months. >> okay, thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> a syrian official say they have removed 150 bombs planted be i the imislamic state. syria's head of ant tick witties say aztecny call team has returned after spending two days in the town. so they couldn't reach some areas because there were hundreds of minds. a number of foreign tourists fell 10%. comes after a suicide bomber killed 12 german tourists in the her storyic part in germany.
2:21 pm
the government has been dealt a big blow, the uncan's largest party, the leftist workers party has just decided to quit her coalition, earlier the tourism minister resigned becoming the first prominent member of the coalition party to step down. he is embroiled in corruption allegations and claimed she manipulated economic information, all of which she denied. gabriel who is in brazil, what are the ramifications? >> the democratic movement party, they decided they are going to break from the government coalition. this is so big because this party is one of the strongest allies or at least was until a few minutes ago.
2:22 pm
now it means the chance to garner enough votes to push back against this impeachment against her, seems very very unlikely at this stage. in about two weeks after the impeachment hears have concluded the congress will vote on if the hearing old should go further, right now before this party pulled away it was a very tight vote. it was going to be very close. now with the biggest party in brazil, breaking from her, it means that she could essentially lose 69 votes in the itch peoplement vote. it can mean that her chances of keeping off impeachment
2:23 pm
will be very very difficult. >> and gabriel there have also been called to step down, what is her response to that? >> yes? one word no. she says she won't step down, even though there have been calls best internationally hoo z here in brazil, and t no even let this process go any further, the reason she and her advisors and supporters say she isn't going to step down are a couple of things. she says number one she has not been convicted of any crime. so she says she doesn't feel the need to step down because she hasn't been convicted. also she says she was democratically elected and free and fair elections here, and also the itch peachment process hasn't even reached the final steam, so her advisors are saying this is nothing more in her words a coup, she says the opposition is just pushing for
2:24 pm
impeachment, and trying to figure out what the motives are. so she feels she is on strong footing she says she will fight this all the way to the end, but i have to tell you in congress, at least with this major party pulling away, she is now facing a more uphill battle today than she was yesterday, trying to save off this impeachment process. but she says she will fight it until the end. >> gabriel reporting live for us, thank you. >> the campaign manager of republican presidential hopeful donald trump has been charged over an incident where he grabbed a female reporter. the incident took place as he left an event in early march. he is charged with similar battery, for intentionally grabbing the bruising the arm of michelle fields. trump has defended his manager says he is completely innocent and will plead not guilty.
2:25 pm
allen fisher joins us live, how big of a deal is this? >> well, the video isn't very clear, because it stop going it all remits to an alleged incident in early march. the reporter claimed she tried to ask a couple of questions after he was leaving and she was moving along, she felt herself being jerked backwards in the video you can see her moving quite significantly backwards, now under florida law, he has been charged p trumps campaign manager has been charged with a misdemeanor. essentially if you lay your hands on someone, and that is unwanted then you can be charged with this offense. he was asked to appear just after 8:00 this morning he was told he would be facing a court appearance at some point. now he has said that he is completely innocent, and that he looks forward to his day
2:26 pm
in court. a view that has been backed up by his boss that tweeted out if you look at the video you can't see why these charges have even been brought about. this is didn't first time that he has been the center of a story, other reporters have alleged that he has called them late at night, and asked if they wanted a briefing, these were all women that made that allegation. he is a former new hampshire police officer, but he believes that he will be proven innocent if this goes to court. in h the days and hours after the incident, he actually called the reporter who made the allegation, delusional. so now she will get her chance to put her case to court in florida he has tried to sketch in some of the details. to the washington post and the new york times. he has ideas of what he would
2:27 pm
do, and we all know what he wants to do with mexico, but the problem is while he is talking about foreign policy, he is not actually giving very much detail. from the first moments of the campaign. >> i will build a great great wall, and i will have mexico pay for that wall. >> mark my words. >> donald trump has talked about how he will change u.s. relations with the rest of the world, several months in he started to give a little more detail, how foreign policy would look under president trump. in an interview with the, no times he revealed he would renegotiate saying the u.s. needs better terms. he would cut oil to force it into doing more to combat isil, even though the u.s. still needs middle rece energy. and he would be open to allowing japan and south korea develop weapons trump
2:28 pm
knows the first step it would take but hasn't thought about step two or three. >> he very much seemed to not even a cost benefit analysis, which i think many people would applaud. he seems to have a win-lose approach. that is to say if america is to lose, i think that's concerning when etalk about international cooperation on any issue. >> he says he won't give many details into what he would do in office. he thinks unpredicterble is a strength, he is not into spreading democracy, or respecting international alliances. >> the united nations is not a friend of democracy. it is not a friend to freedom. it is not a fresh even to the united states of america, where as you know, it has it's home. >> but he has tapped into the raw emotions of the american public. >> he has been skillful into tapping into certain emotions
2:29 pm
and sentiments when it comes to the american public and foreign policy, how many average american voters are really going to know in the nuances of the islamic state but they are very afraid. we have seen levels of anxiety spike to levels we haven't seen. so when it comes into tapping into that emotion, he is smart. >> he will be forced to give more details if he wins the nomination. it is a large part of the job of president. when asked who his top advisor is, he has said several times well it is me. >> still to come this hour. japan's military gets the legal right to fight overseas for the first time since world war ii. and pakistan's cricket coach becks for forgive franz the uncan's fans after it seems a world exit, details coming up in sport
