next week. ^ below psh psh >> this is al jazeera america. i'm thomas drayton in new york. let's get you caught up with the top stories of this hour. the searchers have recovered one of the black boxes of qz8501. condemning terrorism after two days of deadly attacks. u.s. attorney general eric holder who was supposed to attend the rally is a no-show.
11:01 pm
five years after the earthquake that devastated haiti how the nation's still struggling to rebuild. that's focus of the regular sunday segment "the week ahead. orders." ". ahead." >> great to have you with us. we begin with a major development in airasia flight 8501. teams have recorded one of the black boxes flight data recorder. step vaessen. this is a significant recovery. >> reporter: yes definitely it is. this morning divers finally found a the flight data recorder under what they think is the wing of the plane and they have brought it back up and it is heading its way back to jakarta
11:02 pm
in the next few hours or next few days at least where it's going to be investigated and downloaded. all of the data will be downloaded right here in jakarta. depending on the of condition of the flight data recorder, it will take a few hours to a few days. what actually happened in the last minutes before the plane crashed into the sea on its way to singapore. one crucial other part of the investigation still underway. they still have to find the cockpit voice recorder which has not been found right now but some sources are telling us that they hope to find this in a couple of hours. >> we also understand, we reported that crews are also studying the tail section of the aircraft. what will that indicate? >> yes they actually found the complete tail of the aircraft a few days ago and they managed to
11:03 pm
bring it onto the land right now. they of course are also investigating that to see what actually has happened. because the only thing we know so far is that the captain requested to climb to a higher altitude just before the accident happened. experts are saying it might be due to bad weather but of course we have to find out the exact detail from these recorders to find out what actually has caused the crash. >> we should keep in mind that there are bodies that still have to be recovered. how are the search conditions right now? >> reporter: this morning was better. the conditions were better. that's why they found this part of the black box. and the search for all these bodies will still continue. they only found 48 so far which means that 140 -- 14 bodies still have to be found. and the minister of transportation has said this is a high priority but of course it's been more than two weeks right now and the condition of the bodies of course are going to be worse every day.
11:04 pm
>> still a long and difficult process. our step vaessen joining us f from jakarta. thank you. they have recovered the flight data recorder. what could this reveal? >> it includes dozens perhaps hundreds of parameters. flight data not during this flight but up to 25 or so hours prior to the time aircraft crashed. so if there was something occurring several flights before this fatal flight they may find something there. >> we're talking about the speed of the aircraft. it records it every several seconds. the mechanics of the aircraft. >> depending on how it's configured. it could be recorded several times a second. standards the industry are recording far far more data than similar devices 20 or 30 years
11:05 pm
ago. >> what are the chances the information on the flight data recorder could be wiped out? >> depends on whether the flight data recorder was damaged or operating at the time of the flight. that won't be known until they download the information. when that is downloaded, provided it is not scrambled in any way they will be able to get useful information out of that. >> crews are still searching for voice recorder. how significant will that be? >> each box records different information. they can paint ogreater picture what happened in the aircraft. they can get the cockpit at that time recorder but still in my opinion, they would have enough information to find out what happened to the aircraft and what its final moments are like. >> how much time do investigators have until the
11:06 pm
signal on that box fades? >> the pingers are designed to operate until roughly a month after the plane is lost. but they can lay at the bottom of the ocean for lot longer. they were able on air france flight to recover good data. >> can you determine what may have brought down this plane in the time line? >> the difficulty lies within the exact plars of this particulars of this particular flight. for example they have to figure out whether there was anything wrong with the aircraft itself, was it properly complainted. the pilots, 72 hour before they fly, were they sick, any kind of
11:07 pm
psychological pressure, that sort of thing. was there something internal to the aircraft or external to the aircraft that could have led this flight to crash. depending on difficulty of covering thisdiscovering this, it could be months or years to discover that. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> we continue in the program with solidarity for the victims of france. joined in paris by france's president and leaders from around the world. we're also getting a closer look of the suspect from the kosher market attack. video has surfaced of amedy coulibaly pledging his hayet

europe. a threat that won't go away. and a threat of more violence is why you saw 40 leaders here including the u.s. attorney general and middle east and europe marching in the streets in solidarity with the people of france. dana lewis, al jazeera paris. >> we should point out, attorney general eric holder was in paris but did not attend the rally. the obama administration did not give any reason. it will host a counterterrorism summit next month the object to stop extremist groups who advocate violence. countries where freedom of expression and freedom of the press are not exactly embraced. that includes russia and turkey who imprisons more journalists than anywhere in the world. the scale of today's protest was
11:12 pm
too big to ignore. >> there was a very broad spectrum of world leaders at the rally and taking part to show this kind of unity. i think the presence of a lot of these leaders can be explained by that they did not want to be left out from an important gathering like this. all this may have felt forced into making an appearance but i think it is definitely that they are present because it is recognized regardless of the situation of freedom of expression in their own countries, that they are indispensable in clamping down on these kind of extreme atrocities where the message clearly is that the buck stops here that this can definitely not be tolerated regardless whether one agrees with "charlie hebdo" or how freedom of expression is interpreted in these countries. killing innocent people is definitely a line that was crossed ant cannot be tolerated.

11:21 pm
one of the silver linings of the democratic senators who lost in november they were conservative senators they are not there to police with the caucus, we know that those republican votes there are we know where the democratic votes are. it actually makes it a little cleaner, it's going to be tough for the republicans because of the president's veto. general motors is going to start selling a car that will compete with others. the concept car is going to be unveiled fest and the chevrolet volt is designed to last around 230 miles on a single charge. it's similar to nissan leaf but that cargoes only 100 miles between charges.

11:23 pm
near as bad as that. >> forcing prices below $40 a barrel. the big reason for the price drop among the countries adding to the supply, the u.s. domestic crude oil production rose 16% in 2014. russia's output also hit a post-sophie yet highsoviet high last year. markets will confront considerably more down side risk and it will likely take well into the year before prices will bottom. the big question is: what will prompt the oil market to stabilize? some analysts say strong demand will not be enough, and they expect production in the u.s. to be at the top of the list. >> we really think the weakest link in the supply picture is the north american shale producers and exploration and
11:24 pm
production crude producers. >> because the oil industry requires heavy capital investment and sources are being dried up. and crude oil can be cut by a million barrels a day in north america alone. mary snow, al jazeera. >> the price of oil is turning a difficult situation into a disaft. thedisaster. shortages of everything from milk to car parts. monica villa mazar reports from caracas. >> january has seen shortages of many products in venezuela. like milk, beef, chicken and shampoo. people here cued for more than eight hours to be given a number to go into the supermarket. >> translator: if you don't have a number you can't go in.

11:32 pm
that is facing a political crisis and political situation that is in chaos. president michel martele did not call for additional safeguards, the mandate will expire in less than 24 hours from now. that means president martele could rule by decree. this country has seen day after day of street are protests by antigovernment protesters. a political situation could be diving deeper into crisis. another day and more antigovernment protests in the streets of port port-au-prince. now they're growing in intensity, at times they're violent. trying to stem the offense
11:33 pm
president michel martele played his final cards saying that an agreement with opposition had been reached. the most hard line of the protest party was not part. with the mandates of law americas expected to expire at midnight monday it could mean that parliament shuts down leaving martele to rule by decree leading haiti into the worst political situation in decades. >> what is your message to the international community and to the asian people that might still have doubts that you can lead the country through this continuing rebuilding process and this political crisis? >> i suggest that you poll the country and try to identify projects that we have been
11:34 pm
having in haiti. the efforts that we have done, how many kids have gone to school freely since i became president. how many people have gotten out of under a tent since i became president. how many kilometers of roads have been paved. how many homes have been built. how the image of haiti is changing around the world. >> even boasting his accomplishments, martele is a man voting for his political life and hoping these last minute details might avert crisis but still unresolved with a looming deadline to disband parliament in one word, chaos. it's set to cast a dark cloud over the five year anniversary of the terrible earthquake. >> the people certainly want some change.
11:35 pm
gabrielle allesandro stand by for just a moment. i do want to point out when the earthquake struck in 201095% of those killed were in and around the capital. before the quake haiti was already classified as the poorest country in the western hemisphere. with an additional $7.8 billion in damage the economy has been utterly devastated. as gabriel just mentioned are where do we go from here? mark levy is based at columbia university where he's deputy director of earth science information and still with us from port ah port-au-prince. gabrielle. what was it like in the minutes and days following the quake?
11:36 pm
>> i thank you thomas for allowing me to be here. i have to say the moment leading towards the earthquake that was the moment that my grandmother left prior to the quake. when the earthquake hit cell phone towers were done. what moment leading towards it, it's nothing what you are watching on tv. this is not the experience when you really on the ground and see my brother and sisters in the middle of that disaster. it was very moving, on how they -- how quick they were able to react to the situation and how can it -- how can they take control of the -- >> that was the question that was being asked how quick can they react. >> yeah. >> and you're talking about agencies, the government? >> just talking the people themselves. because when you have the entire
11:37 pm
government system class when the palace collapse, when the minister of gusts is collapsed many when you have the schools when you have the hospital collapse completely during that time the general hospital that we have, what exactly do you do? and the people were able to really in an instant what do we do? i remember one gentleman who happened to be a family member of mine he said he saw my mirror i mean drove by and he said what can you do for me, what can you do for me, he said i have my own people to worry about. >> so many people had the question of what can we do. mark your experience of the quake. >> what's been unfolding in a microcosm, what's been unfolding in the last five years.
11:38 pm
initially, complete shock. what in the world is happening what is it, what does it mean and it's unprecedented. it wasn't anything anybody had been preparing for. but then after the slok, the initialshock, theinitial shock subsides, you think inevitably what's next? what's the most appropriate response? the second that i'm here in port-au-prince during the earthquake and over the course of the coming months and years i was in port-au-prince that day to actually launch a sustainable development project that the columbia yah earth institute had been there to design. we had to rethink, what are we here for what is the most constructive thing we can do at the present time. i think over the last five years people have gone through that same kind of cycle of thinking. you know how do i respond immediately and how do i convert that interest in helping into
11:39 pm
something that will be lasting for a long period of time. >> gabrielle you have spent better than a week here. what progress has been made during the last five years? >> i was here during the earthquake as well. there is a lot of progress. there are 1.5 million people as you mentioned that are homeless after the earthquake. today that number is down to about 70,000, so that's still a lot of people but the camps that we saw five years ago and even up to a few years ago there were campletion camps of tens of thousands of people in tent shelters all over the city. those are mostly gone. most of those people have been moved into some sort of homes based on a program that pays their rent for the first 12 months. the first time i was just a day or two from the earthquake, we
11:40 pm
had to drive in from santo domingo, because the airport had collapsed. there is now tourism out a whole different vibe, people playing music, that is not emblematic of what's on the ground 40% unemployment rate but yet haiti is trying to give off the message it's a new country, things are changing and getting better in the eyes of the beholder. >> some people here refer to haiti as the failed state. is that a term you could use for haiti? >> that's not a term would i use for haiti. it is a history of recurring crises but a lot of talent a lot of ambition that combines to make it possible to chief progress.
11:41 pm
so at present we are living through an acute political process. but haiti has been through these kinds of crises in the past. what has been done over the last five years is the government, the eleads and the kind of people have embraced the reality that they are a fragile state they have to stay special measures in order to graduate out of that state. but they have a well thought out plan of how to become an emerging country. failed state i would not use. >> what are the people there saying, what are they saying about their government and what are they saying about the aid? >> one come to the government perspective. it's really good, too i mean, to kc, the continue self is not really -- you want to have a presence. you really want to serve the
11:42 pm
people. but there's a government in ports awe prince, a government in the country side. be two different things. you have to remember haiti is a french colony. the epicenter is in paris the epicenter in haiti is port-au-prince. you've got a country that has collapsed. but in the country side you see a different vibe, different move are the people definitely come together in the bigger picture. they have fled port-au-prince, they have gone to the country side. they haven't seen them in 20, 30 years. there is a don't inside the port
11:43 pm
port-au-prince including the mayor, the good deputies -- >> you talk about these outside influences do people feel they could have a fair election? >> mayorfair election, that's very problem taing. to have the -- problematic. they have to have the money to host those elections. that's where things come very problem take. sits going to be united states, france so therefore outside the country you see a government where, if i'm running for mayor if i'm running for deputies where they can actually serve the fest people better. i have one person i met
11:44 pm
jean-claude precis. he was not allowed to serve for a third term but the people wanted him to serve again because he was the best mayor they had. you can see the difference. >> what needs to be moving forward in haiti. >> i think we need to realistically think of that we've all failed. the donors, the government, and the civic organizations within the country. there was a lot of ambition right after the earthquake to build back better, to take a kind of reset and forge anew partnership between government and the people and the doan ores and the government. and on balance even though there had been some success as your colleague noted that we failed at the ambitions we set for ourselves.
11:45 pm
>> why do you think we failed? who failed? >> i think that the blame comes from all around. the success doesn't come from rebuilding partners but rerebuilding people. when you add it all up at the end of the day makes people reluctant to take the bold steps that are needed to achieve meaningful lasting significant progress. >> i will add to mark's point. because when i ask my fellow haitians we say, do you the question they ask me is what eighths? i say well, there are hundreds of billions of dollars being raised. we haven't seen anything here. >> ask that more in the country
11:46 pm
side or everywhere? >> everywhere. it is very hard to send that help if you don't exactly wear where you send in the hen. as a donor who you give your money to is who you give your power to. >> on a final note, i want to get back to gabriel real quick. how much is the haitian government are responsible for not delivering that aid? >> the government is such an interesting thing now. fc the government does have a plot of foreign responsibility. a lot of people on the streets ask a simple question over and over and ore again where did the money go? we can't disregard the crisis that there country is going
11:47 pm
through now. parliament could be disbanding in a matter of hours. we should be remembering the lives lost. tomorrow what's going to be centered on is the your honor the very resilient people, they would not consider themselves a failed people or state. even the people out in the streets that we talks with at antigovernment rallies they were there for the sense of trying to keep their strength. what would have brought any country in the world to its knees and now five years later the haitians.
11:48 pm
>> directly to the issue of trust. the government invested really heavily in an e-governance program. the plarntion are ready to roll out to map every single country in which every single citizen in the country to know whactly what the government has promised to do what they're actually playing and where the gaps are. >> in a few words, are you optimistic as a haitian? >> i'm very optimistic as a haitian. this is why i was honored to go down there beingsing beingsing beingsing
11:49 pm
