that's the question which lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade a complex sexual abuse case to pursue more shoplifters. france is to ban students from wearing a type of muslim dress, called an abaya, in state—run schools from the beginning of september. there have been months of debate over whether the loose—fitting, full—length robe should be allowed in schools, where the wearing of headscarves is already banned. the abaya covers the whole body except the head and can be worn with a head covering such as the hijab or the niqab. the french education minister gabriel attal gave a press conference earlier today where he discussed the ban and called for unity. translation: we know that our school is constantly being tested. _ in recent months, there's been an considerable increase in attacks on secularism. particularly with the wearing of religious dress, such as abayas or camis, which have appeared or taken root in certain schools. the firmness of the response in schools is being put to the test by these new phenomena none. in the face of occasional blows, attacks and attempts at destabilisation, we must and will stand united. standing together means being clear. the abaya has no place in our schools, and neither do religious symbols. let's talk to our reporter yasmin khatun dewan yasmin. what can we expect the response to this to be? at we what can we expect the response to this to be? a— this to be? at we have already seen from equalities _ this to be? at we have already seen from equalities groups _ this to be? at we have already seen from equalities groups and - this to be? at we have already seen from equalities groups and activists| from equalities groups and activists that have raised concerns for quality reasons and women's rights as with previous an ounce on the hijab and burkini bands we saw protests notjust in france to cash in major cities around the world. a few years ago there were a number of protests in london, berlin. we are likely to see more of that. but in regards to even with the process and with concerns raised by these groups, none of this has so far changed the position of the french authorities in importing that such bans and penalties. we have also heard about the domino effect, this is something raised by various human rights groups that say measures such as these can lead to a domino effect for the women and girls involved. so, women and girls might end up leaving at state schools in the situation are going to private school or delaying certain measures to take on certain types of work. so leaving an institution where they are not able to dress in accordance with their faith and their wishes. and also interesting the specific instance of the first month to see how it might be enforced, because of how it might be enforced, because of how indistinguishable the abaya can be. it could be a maxi dress picked up be. it could be a maxi dress picked up from any high street anywhere in the world but one with religious purpose. the world but one with religious --urose. . ~' , ., the world but one with religious --urose. w , ., , ., , purpose. take us through the history ofthe purpose. take us through the history of the bands. — purpose. take us through the history of the bands, this _ purpose. take us through the history of the bands, this isn't _ purpose. take us through the history of the bands, this isn't a _ purpose. take us through the history of the bands, this isn't a new - purpose. take us through the history of the bands, this isn't a new issue i of the bands, this isn't a new issue in france. ., , ., , in france. no, the first hi'ab ban came in 2004, h in france. no, the first hi'ab ban came in 2004, a t in france. no, the first hi'ab ban came in 2004, a ban _ in france. no, the first hi'ab ban came in 2004, a ban in h in france. no, the first hijab ban came in 2004, a ban in schools, j in france. no, the first hijab ban - came in 2004, a ban in schools, and this abaya ban follows the hijab in niqab bands, on full face covering bans that are been a place for more than a decade now, and also the burkini band. the burkini swimwear which was made to fulfil motegi requirements and many muslim women and many women not of the muslim faith did take it or not seeing it as a more comfortable way of dressing but there is a burkini ban in place a cache that was taken to the high court last year and is still in place and we knew that the french football federation also have a band in place for their players where they cannot wear a hijab and has discussion over that affect the olympics coming up. this is a long—running conversation in france and we will wait to see how this particular one is in force because with the hijab, it is the most elevated aspect of islamic attire, the one that is instantly recognisable, the one that everyone though is the name of, hijab, and thatis though is the name of, hijab, and that is because of bands at been in place in some cities and it is so familiar, you sit in magazines and commonplace, it is spoken about commonly. where the abaya is something very new, people don't really know what it abaya is and you see that in the weight that it's actually warned because of the world, it is worn in different ways. in turkey, it might be worn as a long coat, and other cities more of a flowing item and other places it may be a maxi dress, so it is quite indistinguishable and will be interesting to see how it's implemented and how you get to decide what i abaya actually is when it's simply a long fitting loose garment. it's simply a long fitting loose carment. ., ~' , ., some breaking news into the newsroom, the national air traffic services have confirmed that they are experiencing technical issues hand of applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety. what does that mean? air traffic control services are experiencing technical issues which potentially could lead to some flights being delayed. a brief statement from them saying engineers are working to find out and fix the fault. we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and they didn't provide further information about the cause or the timescale. but we are expecting potential therefore for disruption as a result of that. that breaking news, of the national air traffic services have confirmed they are experiencing technical issues. this comes after a statement released by an airline, loganair, saying there had been a network—wide failure of uk air traffic control set computer systems this morning and this particular airline saying their hope to be able to operate most intro scotland flights on the basis of local coordination and with minimum disruption. if you are flying with us today, check our website. that is presumably advice across the board if you are about to fly today, do check with the airline websites. as we get more updates on that, will bring them to you. in libya, the foreign minister has been suspended for meeting israel's foreign minister. they met in an informal meeting. libya doesn't recognise israel and backs the palestinian cause. after details of this meeting came out, there were protests in libya. we are joined by tom bateman. just tell us about this meeting. this is one meeting and two very different stories. it took place last week in rome. of the israeli foreign minister was there as was the libyan foreign minister. what we don't knows about what was agreed about how this would be publicised, because what happened on sunday night was that the israelis announced the meeting had taken place and called it historic, a first step towards relations between the two countries. israel of the previous years has had four normalisation agreements were four different arab country so it is all being placed in that context. within hours ours was protests broke out in tripoli, in libya, and then the libyan prime minister saying is that the foreign minister was being suspended because he said the meeting was unplanned, a chance encounter but in their view at shouldn't have taken place. the libyans are saying the meeting with the israelis took place under the coordination of italy's prime minister but they said it was nothing agreed plans about this and it put out a pretty stern statement saying there would not be normalisation and it was actually illegal under libyan law with israel. you have as far as the israelis are concerned, the opposition think this is a complete box that should never have been announced and that effectively, the israeli government has taken what the opposition have called an amateur is an irresponsible approach to very sensitive diplomatic meetings. to very sensitive diplomatic meetings-— to very sensitive diplomatic meetinus. , , , ., , meetings. give us a sense about why so much detail— meetings. give us a sense about why so much detail around _ meetings. give us a sense about why so much detail around this _ meetings. give us a sense about why so much detail around this meeting l so much detail around this meeting was released in the first place? the israelis was released in the first place? the israelis say — was released in the first place? the israelis say all _ was released in the first place? tue: israelis say all that was released in the first place? tte: israelis say all that had was released in the first place? tt2 israelis say all that had been agreed with the libyan authorities and the fact that the meeting took place would be publicised. the wording was then from the israeli foreign ministry which describe it in this very historic sense. i think the point is, decent two strategic countries in the middle east, israel has long reported to have unofficial relations with libya, going back to the days of moamer gaddafi, but continuing its current period, where you have very bloody division across libya, un—backed government in tripoli in the west but in the east, a rival administration backed by some gulf powers but not others. israel has long had contacts with greece nation's, it is those, going back to when mossad, its intelligence agency, has kept up formal and quite relations with lots of individuals within different arab powers but the point is they don't talk about it. this meeting obviously took place and there were differences whether or not it was going to be publicised or it may just be the fact that as far as the libyans are concerned, once it was known about and protest were taking place in libya against it, they had to in effect discern it. this place in libya against it, they had to in effect discern it.— to in effect discern it. this will be slightly _ to in effect discern it. this will be slightly unfair— to in effect discern it. this will be slightly unfair because - to in effect discern it. this will be slightly unfair because as l to in effect discern it. this will. be slightly unfair because as you have been talking, a line from reuters which i should stress the bbc have not independently verified as yet, you were talking about the suspension of the foreign minister and writers have reported that the libyan prime minister has sacked the foreign minister over at this meeting. that is according to a libyan government source. ijust wanted your reaction because it is just in the last few minutes, as we have been talking about the suspension, it now appears that suspension, it now appears that suspension is a sacking of. t suspension, it now appears that suspension is a sacking of. i think that was probably _ suspension is a sacking of. i think that was probably to _ suspension is a sacking of. i think that was probably to be _ suspension is a sacking of. i think that was probably to be expected | that was probably to be expected because we knew the libyan prime minister said there would be what they called an administrative investigation. we also had at the same time unconfirmed reports from libyan media that she had left the country and flown to istanbul. that was quickly being denied by internal security within libya, saying she was actually banned from travelling. certainly do language around the way this was being expressed around the treatment of the foreign minister was pretty harsh. verse reports of now a sacking, i think possibly the logical conclusion to all of that. thank you so much. as i mention, we will work on that latest line that there from reuters, that downgrading or grating depending on your perspective of a suspension to a sacking. thank you for that for now. back to the uk, the breaking news of these problems common comic technical issues as to where they are being described, at the national air traffic service. they have confirmed they are experiencing technical issues and have applied " traffic flow restrictions" to maintain safety. so we are going to try and expand on exactly what that means, presumably it means delays to flights if you are off—line right now. in a brief statement is, the said engineers are working to find and fix the fault and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. plenty of travellers who have been inconvenienced will not be too big. as to the source of the disruption, we don't know, they did not provide any information about the timescale or how this will impact flights and go on for and did not give any reasonable cause either, other than this technical issues, which is the quite. but the national air traffic services absolutely vital to keeping planes in the air and flowing around the country, as they should. so, any technical issues can pretty detrimental to the normal operations of airports and aeroplanes in the uk. the independent travel writer simon coulter is standing by for us and i think we can cross to him now. what do we know so far? we have just lost simon called her. i do not want to say that the technical issues here but will try him straightaway. simon, technical issues with air traffic control and with our line as well but will keep going. just tell us what we know? the well but will keep going. just tell us what we know?— well but will keep going. just tell us what we know? the national air traffic service _ us what we know? the national air traffic service run _ us what we know? the national air traffic service run all _ us what we know? the national air traffic service run all the _ us what we know? the national air traffic service run all the systems | traffic service run all the systems across uk airspace. it appears that their entire system, the digital air traffic control system, has failed. they are getting a aircraft down safely but they are drastically reducing the flow rate, the rate at which aircraft can land football. bearin which aircraft can land football. bear in mind that london heathrow is the busiest airport in the world and london gatwick is the busiest single runway airport in the world. this is one of the busiest days of the year, hundreds of thousands of people coming back from various parts of the world to get to, after their holidays in the mediterranean and beyond, and unfortunately, we are seeing the system failure. there is no certainty about when it is going to be fixed. this is extremely concerning, of course. planes are being held on the ground at various european departure points. there is no clarity about when they might be able to get in and land rugby and departure is also being held from uk airports. given the overstretch in the system even at the best of times, i'm afraid this looks to me as if it is aces going to severe delays and disruption, certainly for the rest of the day, even if the problem is fixed in the next few minutes. but my understanding is that the national air traffic service does not put at this stage what caused the problem or how to fix it, and that is extremely concerning. i need to stress there is no danger to anybody, aircraft will either be landing where they are supposed to with a reduced flow rate or they will be diverted to other airports, rate or they will be diverted to otherairports, quite rate or they will be diverted to other airports, quite possibly in continental europe, places like paris and amsterdam, but with everything working at full tilt, i'm afraid we are at a stage where no—one quite know is how the rest of the day is going to look. i fear there will be a lot of people waking up there will be a lot of people waking up tomorrow morning with the do not want to be because their flights have been severely delayed or indeed cancelled and i fear that the cancellations will be the starting around about now in all the operations rooms trying to figure out what they are going to be doing. simon, you said this is total digital system failure, how unusual is that?

tt would first like to be potentially cancelled? , ., ., ., ., cancelled? if you have a general aerospace _ cancelled? if you have a general aerospace systems _ cancelled? if you have a general aerospace systems failure - cancelled? if you have a general aerospace systems failure than l cancelled? if you have a general. aerospace systems failure than the last thing you want to do is to add to the problem. to departing flights are being held on the ground both in european places of origin and indeed in the uk because effectively, you want to have as few aircraft as possible to deal with. the flow rate coming in is something that has long been established worth every minute orso been established worth every minute or so coming into heathrow, it's very, very difficult and complex game or three—dimensional chess, basically. even at the best of times, there is very, very little resilience in the system simply because heathrow is full, gatwick is full and bank holiday monday, that is when everybody is wanting to be flying and unfortunately, at this rate, it looks as though there will be many people who will not reach their destination. let me stress again that there is no danger, no—one will be put at risk because of this. i dare say hundreds of thousands of people could find they are extremely inconvenienced. thank ou for are extremely inconvenienced. thank you for stressing _ are extremely inconvenienced. thank you for stressing again _ are extremely inconvenienced. thank you for stressing again the _ are extremely inconvenienced. thank you for stressing again the safety because people we want in, if there is no risk to safety, if this digital air traffic control system has failed and flights are in the air and due to come into land, how are they being located in?
