was on the show in the clouds it, it's times to and then when generations clash starts january 14th on dw, the, or it sounds like a declaration of civil war. the president of ecuador says a battle is taking place inside his country. just as weak violence has claimed, at least 10 lives kidnappers, or targeting police. people told to stay in doors at night, or they could be caught in the crossfire between soldiers and drug cartel militants . last night the clash was broadcast on live television terror in real time. when government storing the television station, they were very mass. they said they had a message and they had explosive to make their point. i bird golf in berlin. this is the day. the

entire country is living through a real night mat something and think about, let me imagine it broke down just a short time ago. all of a sudden i saw one of my colleagues with a terrified look on his face, and he said they're coming to kill us. they've already got inside the tb station shot. one of our camera man in the leg broke the arm of another one to far as bullets they use their weapons inside is the president. you have to put a firm hand on this because we take this step back, it can be worth an organized crime has declared on the states of the state to must provide the states most with us are coming up. it's been almost a week since that alaskan airlines fly. that's all a piece of the plane ripped out in mid flight. airlines have been around and many of their boeing $737.00. so are you still ready to fly?

so i mean, there's something, you know, you don't see every day that that door flying open in alaska airlines flight. i mean, feel fine. i mean, i feel pretty comfortable. one which of our viewers watching going to be as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the question that they are asking in ecuador tonight, who is in charge, who is in control 24 hours ago. the entire nation watched as gunman storm to live tv broadcast. they were on with explosives and they demanded to be heard their message. according to ecuador, as president, was one of terror. and one to many. tonight across ecuador soldiers are patrolling the streets. a nighttime curfew is in effect and it remains to be seen if this crack down will have a lasting impact. for years, violence has gone from bad to worse in ecuador drug cartels wage war against each other in prisons and on the street to control the route to use to traffic cocaine

made in south america, consumed in the us. and here in your, a police engage with a group of gunman during a raid and self in ecuador. the he says it's stepping off. it's offensive against the powerful drug gangs who have behind the abundance across the country. to shoot out took place in the city of what keeps near the border with peru which day is it stepping up, its patrols along the frontier to stop the vine and spilling into its territory. throughout ecuador, security units have been out and forth, trying to reassure citizens of the safety authorities, say they doing what they can, but they can't be everywhere at once. distorted shows the gang members sitting fine because in the countries north, in broad daylight, at the games,

tara tactics appear to be working. people on the streets, say, the skid. you're going to get there. is this a sadness and fear is something we all have right now, but we don't know what to do. because in reality, we can't do anything for the. like if there's like a maple are afraid, they don't want to go out any more businesses are closing. so as a citizen, i'm very scared of what's happening right now. and then what are the security situation hit? the national and international headlines on choose day when heavily um, to not coast on a tv station. and it could do as large as the city keith, during a live news broadcast. the most gunman said they would, they had to go in and it would dorians not to mess with the mafia. the attack was swift in violent video, but out of the shot for one of our camera man in the leg broke the arm of another one. the fired bullets,

they use their weapons inside. about 13 minutes after the government appeared, police could be seen entering the tv station, or the gangsters were captured. but the attack lift ecuador is horrified. ecuador has struggled for years with violence tied to drug trafficking, including homicides and kidnapping. but now the president says ecuador, is it well with the gangs? and he's announced a state of emergency for at least 60 days. during this time, officials can suspend people's rights and to mobilize the army, including in prisons or for more now i'm joined by journalists. audrey on the on the joins is from the ecuadorian capital key to a drawing. it's good to see you. we spoke 24 hours ago when this crisis was really erupting. tell me, what's the difference in the security situation in ecuador to night, compared to last night? hello. well,

today everything is a little bit calmer, even though we have had a couple of a violent acts as well the country. we had one explosion here that you thought, but it was actually very minor compared to what we watch yesterday. yeah, the president has declared a state of internal armed conflict. that sounds something maybe close to that, to a civil more maybe or maybe not what, what does that mean to you? we haven't had a kind of measures before. the recent governments haven't been able to take the decision, but this means that the 22 guys that the government who leased this last slide are, consider now terrorist groups. and this means that they are military object fixed

right now. so the new terror forces that are in the streets are on the lookout for these people. and i turned in what, what's their ultimate goal here? and then if they don't want to run the country, is it just about controlling the pathways, the routes that are used into the traffic drugs? is that what this is all about? the what the government says and we believe so because seems the truck traffic in world is changing and the market is shipping in many of the operations from this a broker tells has been running here from the border and the drugs have been going from here to europe, into the united states. so we think that yes, they want to keep the businesses running from here as they have been doing for the past years. how do you explain what has happened in ecuador, in ecuador,

it used to be considered in the united states, a paradise for people to retire to. they don't retire to ecuador anymore. um, how did the drug gangs, how did they gain so much power so quickly? well, we believe everything is started like after we changed governments after raphael, korea and everything in the states started to change the story through the start of the change. and with those political changes in demonstration, the drug or the broker tells the sagal to do power inside the the public system inside the, please is just this is in the meantime parcels. so that's why right now we are like seeing what has been happening for this past 5 years, especially the last 3 years. this has been really difficult for the government to

try to maintain control of the country and to a half are really a really good just the system because we don't have that. but i just let me ask you before we run out of time, do you think this president and this government do they have the answer, the strategy to re gain control and control that last we don't know that so far because the government has been really secret to you about their security plans and they keep that argument out to the public box, but it's been to the new level. ah, he is actually doing things a little bit different from what we were used to. and we are just hoping to see this miss years is take effect and change. what do we have been seeing for the last 3 years? all right, journalist andriana. i don't agree with the latest on volatile events happening in

ecuador andrianna. we appreciate your reporting. thank you. thank you very much. it makes me feel better knowing that they don't have the aircraft in the air. obviously, i've seen that on the news the other day, i thought it was streaming, like frightening. i actually checking and making sure i am very good, but yes, i did remind them by trust in the system and system works are all right, those are some us air travelers. they're asked how they felt about flying in the wake of last week's mid air door blew out on board a boeing 737 max airplane, alaska airlines, which operates many flights using that boeing model, grounded about a 100 planes today as safety checks continue. other carriers, which also use boeing max planes,

have reported finding loose volts veering inspections. always jeremy is valerie incomplete. transparency in the investigation process. in the meantime, the white house is reassuring the public that air travel remains safe. the f a f, a is priorities, always keeping american safe. that is most important. american people should speak, feel, say flying. all right, that's what the white house it says for more analysis, i'm joined now by stephen wright. he's a professor of aircraft systems at the university of tom para, in finland. it's good to have you on the program, steven. so would you agree, should the public feel safe about getting inside an airplane and taking off these dates? a good i think, i think the public should feel safe. a statistically flying on an aircraft is incredibly safe. the cost of might to very high standards,

more importantly than maintain to even high standards. it's a highly regulated safe industry. it's a highly regulated industry. what about getting a airplane from the blueprint and the drawing board to the market? the certification process. you say that that there maybe needs to be questions raised about how that takes place. if it's too fast, if the quality checks are adequate, talk to me about their as well. the way that i say this particular problem happening is, um, you know, you've got this huge company. boeing and the overseen by an american market like to the f i and this isn't the 1st problem, the borrowings have with this particular style of back off the, the, the, the mac series was, you know, very, very popular mastic. they had to very,

very significant cycle accidents because bothering decided to put on new technologies that they didn't explain. and it did things that the pilots weren't aware of out. and it wasn't that best corporate decision at all. i know one of this was a, was, was overseen by the regulated the regulator in the states, and effectively guys following comp launch to make decisions. now, one would have expected boeing to have taken on board lessons learned. i think this a, the magic what everybody likes to use, but it seems so it might be, this hasn't happened because now you have a aircraft that's coming new out of a factory and it's got quite significant light, some problems with it. the hidden, the manufacturer doesn't understand and it should be picked up, but, and things are happening. yeah. so it says it means it. so this may not be,

this isn't a question of proper maintenance. you're saying this can actually be a question of design and engineering. so it's not, no, not necessarily the design. the design, i don't believe is the key issue here because um, the tools, the panels that have come off haven't come off because cracks of unmatched on metallic structures as far as i'm aware, they are attributed to missing or incorrectly installed false most. okay. and that's quite different. so the problem here is the, the assembly process bluntly what's happened in the factories the following has conducted by following employee a says shots, and i use some shoddy work, some that you have for right crap instruments. and so well worse than that, it's stamped and certified as being completed to the manufacturer,

stand it and clearly this hasn't happened. we've already found out about it because one of the tools phone enough. yeah, exactly, and there was a young child sitting in the airplane. thank goodness he had a seat belt on, but it pulled his shirt off. that's how strong the pressure was. what, where do we go from here? so it sounds like you're saying that the, the regulatory agency in the united states is basically, it's to cosy with the airline industry. so this independent oversight in america is not working as it should. so how do you fix that? and i honestly, i don't know how you're going to fix this because one would have sol off to the max the previous max, a bench with the m cost, the flight control system. you would have. so the regular light to should have picked up on it. and they didn't, and then we had the site to crashes. and i'm with move forward. now. this is a couple of years ago. and yet the rec,

you like to hasn't they haven't picked up on it. and this problem is now moving forward. so we found out about this particular problem with the doors. what are the problems? haven't they detected? yeah, it's a big problem for both the manufacturer us and also for the regular lights up. yep . and it's a good reason if you do have to fly to always keep your seat belt fast. and i guess that's the really the only thing we can do maybe as an expert and professor steven writes, even we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thank you but francis has touched off of debate on the issue of sarah good motherhood and his annual address to vatican diplomats. the roman catholic leader listed several good c, as among the able's afflicting modern society and he called for a world wide band. here's how put france is justified his appeal of the size of the unborn child and the mother's womb can not be surprised or turned

into an object of trafficking. how do i have to retain therefore, the practice of what's known as surrogate motherhood is deplorable. let them yeah, so how can they, they could have it represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child on that based on the exploitation of this situation involving the mother's material needs by me. now, a child has always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract house. consequently, i hope the international community will make an effort to prohibit the practice universally, that they packed. all right, for more i'm joined now by sarah jones is she's the chief executive of syracuse, c u k. that's a british group that supports families on both ends of the surrogacy process and she's a 5 time let me get this right. altruistic sarah. get herself, sir,

welcome to the show. it's good to have you with this. i just wanted to get the definitions right here. when you say you are an altruistic sarah. does that mean? you have carried a child for a couple and you've received no payment for it. is that what that means? yes, that's correct. so i've acted as a surrogate 5 times. so full of people that have turned into friends, lifelong friends, to me, and i did it a non commission a so so no payment whatsoever. so you did it just because you want to help couples have children who can't have children themselves biologically, just out of the goodness of your heart a yeah, i just i so why not? how change somebody's life? i a dual my children. i love being a mom and knowing that i could change somebody's life and create parents and grandparents was just something i knew i could do and has brought me such

a lot of joy that i obviously did it 5 times. i mean, i hear that you, you must have the genes if you could do it 5 times because you look great. um, i wonder what goes through. what like i said, in your mind when you hear the pope say that sarah can see, is immoral and despicable. i think there's a lot of confusion about the types of so we can say on personally opposed to commercial surrogacy. so that all some points that i would agree with a mon, i don't think any woman's body should be commodified or children should be for sale . however, altruistic surrogacy does exist, need exists successfully. and the case of really good example, the facts. we don't allow commercial surrogacy in the u. k. a and it has to be altruistic. and it works really,

really well. and we have about 500 babies born here in a u. k. through altruistic sort of say, so it is successful and it works. and the children are loved and cherished and also have a lifelong relationship with us. so we're good. so they just get additional family so. so the assess the good, are you say, do you have a relationship then with, with all, with the 5, the 5 families or the, you know, the 5 children that you've been, is there a good mother for? do you have relationships with them after the birth? absolutely yes. and the eldest surrogate babies i've given birth to is now 21. the youngest is 3 and i have an open and transparent relationships with them all they know who i am. they know that i carry them and they knows that we have a lovely connection. so, and it's very proud of that. so do they,

what do they do they have a name for you? do they call you, you know, anti sierra or is there a, you know, a little just sarah, sarah. okay. just sarah. yeah, just sarah. well, well, i mean, for some couples, seriously is one of the few options available to have children as part of their family. i deal it and talked to me then about the people who turned to your organization. so it's a mix of people, really. it's um, a women heterosexual couples that have experienced in for tennessee the evict spaniards last. so still this except tra, as of trying to are the numerous times it's women, evelyn to that have cancer. and i've had the williams removed, and it's also a same sex couples who am now available to access. so we could say

a to, to build that some of these as well. so it's a wide range of people that can access. so it gets in the u. k. it's a fascinating, i know that and so we're getting brotherhood, it's regulated as you were saying, you know, differently around the world. it's allowed in some us states. it's banned in italy in spain. what, what do you do? i mean, i would, i would assume that since you are, you're pushing the altruistic model that you would just be more demand for this model. is that the case, i mean, is business booming for you that we have and with we have very, very busy. so we all one of 3 large organizations in the u. k. and we have around $600.00 surrogate applications every year. so $600.00 women come forward wanting to sort of goods. and as i say, we're just one of 3 large. so we can see organizations in the u. k,

so that a large number of women volunteering to be surrogates and that will, that will always be more intended parents that need. so to say, because if it comes to use on the rise, um but yeah, no, it is a getting bigger here on yes, definitely. then. yeah, and fertility is on the rise. and, and, you know, as a journalist, we'd be pointed on to, and so many events the, the, the civil war in syria. what's happening in gone, is that what's happened in ukraine? you know, there are millions of orphans now on this planet to would like to have parents. what do you say to critics who argue with the parents are renting a room, usually from a poor woman? not always is it in your case, but usually in other countries going to extremes emotionally and financially just to pass on their dna. it's what message does this send to an orphan child about

his or her value as a person on this planet? well, a children have a value, every individual has value and adoption should be considered by everybody before they make the choice. whether it's how 17 is to genetic children, whether you infer child or same sex cocoa, or whether you have no issues conceiving. everybody should consider whether adoption is right for them and make that choice on an individual basis, which is very well just curious. i don't care. would you carry a child for a couple that said no, we would never consider adoption. and i, i, i to, i think that i would do, i'm booked all of the, in terms of parents. the ice house have considered adoption for disconnects. um, the 1st couple that i worked with they wanted to adopt,

but because they were of greek heritage, they would told in the u. k, they weren't allowed to adopt a child outside of their own heritage. so there was so many barriers to adoption and they've been amazing pairings. yeah. and they would have been amazing adoptive parents. yeah. so they didn't serve surrogacy was actually the 2nd choice after adoption. yeah. we've got to adopted my daughters in my family. so yeah, i'm a big supporter of adoption as well. but good on you, sarah jones, for what you're doing. helping a lot of families realize the dream of a family chief executive. it's erica st. you case here. we appreciate your time tonight. thank. thank you. the finally is the temperature is plummeted. many parts of europe people are lacing up . their skates are taken to the ice, especially here in bear. in norway, a lake there has been transformed into a giant skating rink. the water freezes every year, but usually it's not picking up to do this. that's what people are doing. we will

leave you with these images. we will see you right here tomorrow. who is the,

some companies can face harsh criticism. brands today, the brace friction, they've gone up against the criticism, but this stood for something in the end of actually one great deal of brand loyalty from the next generation made in germany and 910 minutes on d w. the words people have to say, that's why we listen because every weekend on d w level onto the system, the way it is, so police power and key,

more people than ever on the move world wide in search of are based on life, but cardboard backs on the left side of the image and find out about bailey story. info, migraines, vacations, an applicant. do they have the was i, when i told me that they don't have violence, do this, can we go say colson tissue, today's because then they go to that. who set up for us? love a new meal. be su, why the tenant? so i so not to go the,
