>> announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the newshour, i'm here in doha. these are the top stories - ayr goes missing over the -- air-asia plane goes missing, 132 on board. 30 years on n.a.t.o.'s mission in afghanistan comes to an end, we look at what changed on the ground. malaysia's government pledges more than 100 million to help victims. plus... >> i'm nick spicer in berlin.

at a place for young classical musicians. we begin out of asia where passenger jet has disappeared. air asia left indonesia airport at 5:20am local time en route to singapore. it lost contact with a ground control 42 minutes after takeoff. we have this report. >> reporter: at the airport in surabaya, people await news of their loved ones. 162 passengers and crew were on board air asia flight qz 8571.

it lost communications with traffic control. >> translation: i hope for a miracle. may god save them all. i should have been with them. i cancelled. i had something to do. i have two friends and five family members. >> reporter: indonesia's disaster management authority set up a crisis center at the airport to relay developments. >> we are widening our search rescue. we have informed sea and coast cards to be on standby and relay. >> those waiting for the same information, the plane lost contact as it flew over the java

sea. the pilot requested a changed course due to weather. but it trails two other aviation tragedies this year both involving the national carrier. in march mh370 disappeared with 285 people, it's still missing. in june mh17 from amsterdam was shot down over ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. asia never lost a plane before. search and rescue is in full swing and many hope it remains let's take a closer look at whether the weather may have played a role in this with the weather expert riches.

we though that south-east asia is experiencing severe monsoon weather at the moment. could weather have played a part in the disappearance. >> it's a possibility. from the reporting around malaysia and indonesia, as we look at the satellite you can see the massive crowds and on root the pilots would have been flying through a line of clouds kum u low limb bus cloud. i'll show you two charts that don't lend well to television. the first is a weather bloom. it goes up through the atmosphere measuring temperature and humidity. these go all the way from the surface up to 50,000 feet. it indicates that the airways saturated. what it tells me is the way it's leaning back you have kooum u low lim bus cloud. the other chart is a forecast chart which we would use.

and you can see the scalloped area showing the tops of the cloud in excess of 50,000 feet and the forecast. it's 50,000 feet, 53,000 feet. the forecast suggests that the clouds were difficult to ply over. they requested an increase in altitude from 32 to 38. 53,000 feet there's no way that would happen it's a case of trying to pick up the turbulence, maybe it was a little late or less than was the case. >> thank you for that. thank you for getting us through. the weather forecast situation. let's get more from chris united states an independent aviation expert joining us from manchester united england. there's a request from 32,000

feet to 38,000 feet, and this is due to bad weather as richard had been explauning. plain -- explaining. would it have been enough to ensure the plane had turbulence. >> if the kum u low nimbus cloud was up to 30,000 feet not necessarily. it might have been slightly smoother air. so doubtful that that climb in and of itself could have taken the aircraft out of the weather conditions at any time. >> we know too, chris, that the plane is six years old. could such a plane be affected by bad weather. >> yes. craft are afflicted by bad weather all of the time. depends on how severe the weather conditions were at the time. when taking off, the pilots

would obviously have taken all whether information en route and would like to - or try to choose an appropriate weather pattern. nothing is foolproof in this area of the world, the equatorial region that is notorious to the bad weather, anything could have happened. >> we know there's a search and rescue team out over the java sea. this year when mm-hmm 370 disappeared, there was a lot of talk in the aftermath about trying to transpond to transmissions. search and rescue mission would try to find that now. >> pretty much so.

i think with the passage of time from the aircraft to losing communication with african control to now, there's zero chance that the aircraft could possibly be flying. now it's a search operation perhaps a rescue operation after hitting the surface of the water. it seems likely that it has. it seems likely that there is great loss of life but having said about the transporters for the aircraft a full search will continue for as long as it takes to identify where those pieces of wreckage are and then lift those pieces of wreckage to the

surface, read off the data the information that they have. >> thank you so much for joining us. independent aviation analyst from manchester. in other news afghanistan - a ceremony is being held marking the end of n.a.t.o.'s combat mission. let's look at how things will change on the ground. from january the 1st. the u.s.-led force will be replaced. this has been one of the worst years. there has been more than 3,000 killed to the end of 2014. >> reporter: at the height of the mission, n.a.t.o. 140

people in afghanistan - 13,000 forces, afghan security forces had to fill the void. and there is still heavy fighting even now in the winter months, particularly in the south this week. >> helmand is afghanistan's deadliest province in the provincial capital, the people are nervous. >> to this man came here four months ago. there was fighting in his home in the north of the thousands of families fled. >> translation: fighting meant the first harvest and second has been missed. people have lost their homes, they are targeted by roadside bombs and face many threats from the insecurity. >> this is a victor of war. intense fighting kept her from getting to a doctor. the lucky ones end up here an

emergency hospital. there's only one that lost a leg. they are fighting to save the other one. the painstaking search for shrapnel was the gunshot victim. the hospital accepts it no questions asked. sam is a policeman from sanguine. the fighting has never been dispatched. >> angin is a dangerous area. there are thousands of kinds of taliban there. all of san gin is with taliban. the government controls the roads, none of the villages. >> this is a member of the intelligent forces another distribute with heavy fighting. >> i'm worried. i have four brothers all with the government. a live fight for the country. >> proof that the fight is hard. the word are full.

even though the fighting slows at this kind of here. there has been so many casualties. when it's really busy using the outdoor tents as triage. a rare attack in lashkar gar killed at least seven. the fire fight lasted hours. those from the village say civilians are caught in the middle between taliban and government forces. they don't care who they hurt. civilian casualties were at a record high. the fighting is not limited south. there's fighting with the taliban going on particularly the province. it's not just security a concern for the afghans. by now, there would be an established government. the president ashraf ghani took

office three months ago. he and the chief executive officer failed to come to an agreement on the cabinet. afghans are worried about security as they are about political instability. >> a political analyst joins us now. thank you so much for making it on the show. jennifer was explaining the situation in afghanistan, that it is still at the moment. we have the n.a.t.o. combat mission becoming a training mission for the afghan forces. what do you think would be the priority. >> well, first of all, i would like to remind you the process started almost two years ago. saturday was certainly a ceremony in kabul. they have taken responsibility in many parts of the country,

and because of the last two years. this is where the raut of casualty - afghans are taking full responsibility for the ground against the taliban. certainly, the most important factor security forces the continuation of technical support, financial support, which is important in order to keep the moral afghan forces high and support them with a needed technical and logistical support, and that is an important factor. because it was difficult to have on the high mountains. the afghan security forces don't have the capacity or excuses to support the unit in those places. this is why we need support of n.a.t.o. for another few years in afghanistan. >> what is the most - what is the most is after 13 years of an

n.a.t.o. combat mission, afghanistan is still very unstable in terms of its security situation. it then begs the question what has the combat mission achieved? >> we have to look at relative terms in afghanistan. we have to take care. during the 1990s, if you look at the - in relative terms, we have determined this achievement. by - in 2001, when the taliban regime collapsed we did not have security forces. the institutions did not exist. we have been able to rebuild important institutions. and the afghan security forces - indeed, if we compare with the amount of money spent, and the

numbers of forces received in the past 13 years, certainly in terms of that. many people particularly in the west, and for afghans, we believe we need for - to look for some improvement and disimprovment come in terms of gradual - for rapid change and bigger spending. certainly afghanistan was not something that - certainly caused many other problems in the country. >> thank you for sharing. speaking to us from kabul. >> there's nor come on this newshour including...

respond to the disaster. hundreds of volunteers are trying to feel the gap. many are distributing food. drinking water and money. clinics are being set up. >> usually we worry. it is due to inadequate hygiene. it is a great thing actually. >> while urban areas have access to relief supplies remote communities are facing shortages. they have promised 157 million to help rebuild their lives, but there were immediate concerns, many are stranded in their homes sri lanka has been hit hard.

at least nine people were killed in landslides, and the others missing. heavy rain destroyed over 3,000 homes. more than 6,000 people have been displaced. >> our correspondent visited a sri lankan town. how bad are the floods where you are? >> here which is on the north-western coast. there has been heavy rain. the local waterway had burst its blanks flooding the surrounding areas. as you see behind me the homes under 3-4 feet of water. like the main highways the water seemed to have receded. the moment you turn off the main lanes and go down some of the side street you find a minimum of 3-4 foot of water. you have essentially people that have come to the road. that's the only area with dry

land. in addition, there are many hundreds of people housed in welfare centers, centers that have been set up. so in terms of the flooding itself, the waters are receding. very much in the internal parts, we are still seeing a lot of flooding with a lot of water yet to recede. >> we are hearing reports of landslides that are just making the situation worse. what are you hearing? >> that's right. a short while ago we went to the disaster management center who say the threat of landslides in the central part of the country, the uber province that's where we had claimed the vast majority of fatalities during the weather spell. 14 were killed within the bubble

there is a real threat that the landslides - there's a lot of people in vulnerable areas. there has been stretches of houses. and they are still keeping an eye on people going to be in areas that may come and assure us that they are keeping an eye on the situation that if the threat persists they'll move these people as well. overall, the picture is that things will go away and the problem will go away. in terms of rain there's heavy rains that are predicted overnight. also we are hearing for the first time about flooding out of the districts, towards the east all of those places with the north central province the agricultural heartland are under water. the water is spilling over one
