sixth death worldwide after they started talking and this and his neck was punctured when the airbag exploded so this is a massive recall in scope and size and don't forget they have to get replacement parts in and that will take some time but they are beginning the process now that after so many months of investigating, there is also a criminal probe going so the story is not quite done. >> more confusingly it appears they do not know what the fault is. >> and that was brought up at the press conference, al jazeera asked the regulators if you don't know what it is how can you be sure the replacement part is going to work and said basically they think it has something to do with the chemical compound and it's especially vulnerable in high humidity and high heat areas but there is something unstable about that chemical but they admitted they don't know exactly the cause of this. so then they went on to admit they don't necessarily know if this replacement part and replacement aspect is going to be safe in the long-term. they say it's safer but there is

the possibility that all of these millions of people who get their cars fixed are going to have to do it a second time so obviously still it's going to be developing for years. >> patty is live for the latest on that story from washington d.c. thanks patty. columbia says 62 people have been killed in a landslide in the country northwest and rescue efforts on going on looking for the missing and most were sleeping when it hit the municipality taking away homes and bridges. >> reporter: while the town itself the central town here is pretty much still in one piece except for the smaller houses that were built along the ravine but the fact is that here there is a rug topography of columbia and very seismic as well activity and also the fact that
