Britain's Education Secretary urges people to think about the young in Brexit referendum

Britain's Secretary of Education is urging parents and grandparents to think of young people as the country decides whether to stay within the European Union in a referendum in June. 

Nicky Morgan says a vote to leave the EU will be a gamble with the future of their children and grandchildren.   She is also calling for young people to make sure they vote in the referendum as she says if Britain leaves the EU, which is being  dubbed "Brexit", it will be young people who will suffer the most, as the country will be left in limbo as it negotiates a new future. 

The Leave/Remain debate has bitterly divided the ruling Conservative party and  opinion polls show the country fairly evenly divided on the issue.  However Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says young people have got used to easy access to the EU and should get involved with the Remain campaign.

Hijack "not terrorism" according to Cyprus President

Most passengers have been freed after the hijack of a domestic EgyptAir flight by a man wearing a suicide belt who forced the plane to land in Cyprus.   

Egyptian state TV say the man is Egyptian national Ibrahim Samaha who is seeking political asylum.    His estranged wife lives in Cyprus and she has been reportedly drafted into negotiations. 

4 foreign passengers and the crew had been detained on board, however more people have since disembarked  and it's not now clear how many people are onboard the Airbus A320.

Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades has told reporters the hijack is not a terrorist incident.

Aviation expert Paul Charles says the airline will now face  questions about how the man gained entry into the plane with the explosives.
