been held around the world in support of tibetan independence eternal peace and from ending be any worse reactivity represent the end and we stand up to the patterns against six decades of political suppression. they have been denying their villages cultural and language right china has placed restrictions on foreigners including journalists visiting tibet. when you go back to those you know six years ago the cia was actually involved training people radio operatives who were dropped back into tibet to kind of stir up trouble so from the chinese perspective they don't look on for they don't see that foreigners are necessarily bringing gifts they get regarded as something that is only means trouble and probably more headaches for beijing. china says it's held sovereignty over tibet

for centuries it describes the dalai lama as a separatist supporters of the dalai lama say he doesn't want independence just more autonomy for tibet what we're seeing now is just a different kind of repression. making short britons can't communicate we feel for calm protest this sort of suffocating atmosphere on sunday the streets of tibet may stay quiet or demands for tibetan independence are heard around the world rob matheson al-jazeera and his election commission has announced a date for parliamentary elections will take place in seven phases between april and may nine hundred million people are eligible to vote ballot counting will take place on the twenty third of may. now a treatment center for about all of that comes in east and democratic republic of congo has been attacked for the third time in a month the clinic was targeted hours before a visit by the head of the world health organization some kong blamed foreign aide

london. this is one of the biggest in and teach warehouses in europe where high and prepared for shipping around the world. the company services top dealers private collections and museums so what's the most expensive item that's passed through. looking at in excess of one hundred million pounds so these are no more objects by any means or some might be small but very badly. the international world depends on frictionless shipping with little bureaucracy and few tariffs but as bricks it looms the industry is weighing up the challenges i feel there is just this lack of clarity where we don't know what's going to happen if we if we get a deal next week then everything stays the same for twenty months maybe three years and then during that period they'll negotiate further but it does lead to further uncertainty and that makes long term planning quite difficult.

for the moment are to shift seamlessly between the u.k. and the e.u. with very little red tape and with no g.t. in place but all of that could change when the u.k. leaves the e.u. if there are no new arrangements same place they could well be new juvies imposed the more expensive the art the higher the g.t. . this high end dealerships in the heart of london's financial district but the gallery directories had to make a difficult decision to close the current show of twentieth century abstract art several weeks early. the works of valued at seventy nine million dollars which means a possible tax bill of eight million dollars for shipping them back to italy after the u.k. leaves the e.u. because italy and other e.u. countries levy tax on all works imported from outside the bloc we are speaking about money so i can have this basic so far we don't have a for michelle friendship there's we don't have information from a lawyer subcounty so nobody knows so we can all say the situation and the view of

breaks it from italy says so that it actually ends up a c.p.a. which means they've shot themselves in the foot some experts believe leaving the e.u. will be a golden opportunity for the u.k. allowing the country to reduce or remove all current e.u. levies bypassing europe altogether and attracting new global markets. while the industry considers the advantages and disadvantages of leaving the world's largest trading block some had to wait shipping their collections to a brick sit safe distance the al-jazeera london. now so i called calvin continued to operate and did a spot on order by the supreme court for police to crack down on them. forty four people have been lynched after being accused of smuggling cows activists say the hindu nationalist led government has downplayed the attacks and reports from.

that. this is one of several viral video showing violence by so called how vigilant is indeed the. self-appointed guardians of cows which are sacred to hindus claim they're being illegally slaughtered they're not afraid to use violence to stop that . for every victim there's also a family behind. the son an oscar a she was killed in two thousand and fifteen along with two other young men from this village less than fifty kilometers from new delhi. how can anyone who's lost their son live in peace we are devastated his father has been suffering from mental tension all of us are stressed no but it's meant was given to the perpetrators no attention was paid to us as a human rights watch report states that eight lynching cases they studied involve victims who are considered lower caste hindus the vast majority of those killed

however were muslims the victims come from world in poor areas like this not always far from me city lynching such as these were known to take place in the us but they were rare now thirty five cases have been reported since twenty fifty some activists saying the real number is much higher. it's a temper twenty thousand in india supreme court ordered central state governments to take what it called preventative in punitive measures to stop such attacks after most states failed to comply with its previous directive. this social rights worker spent a year and a half documenting cases of so-called calvin trillin theism while there have been convictions including that of eleven men in march last year she says the problem persists the numbers on the ground unlikely to be even higher and what we are what we need to look at is not just people who have died from the lynchings but the spate of attacks on people. various cal vigilantes operate

across the country looking for those they believe are slaughtering cows. but on every count protection group advocates violence. children go to the head of this cow shelter says he understands why some groups are violent. there's a look at the reason behind people committing roylance vocal protection because they are to be saved guarding an important thing the government is negligent do not provoke us long over the victims' families added to their losses the sense of abandonment by their government left to feel as just another statistic on a growing list as jimmy el al jazeera does now with the british. now again on the problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera friends and

families of those onboard an ethiopian airlines plane that crashed have learned that all one hundred fifty seven people have died the boeing seven hundred seven max was on its way from addison. when it crashed just six minutes after takeoff kenya's transport minister says the set up an emergency team for passengers families and. we initiated the routine up what's. you might consider sponsors to basically take care. or relatives and friends. who may be afflicted in the who. want to receive the procedures upon a valuable thing that will be the freight was expected well you know be it about ten thirty five this morning. it is teach what you don't. use to establish. two emergency centers algerians have launched

in seven phases between april and may well those are the headlines on al-jazeera counting the cost is coming up next. hello i'm adrian finnegan this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week recharge your batteries under pressure from trade tariffs you see zero two rules that even briggs's carmakers around the world are electrifying. how power outages in south africa putting livelihoods at risk. plus why connecting young people to jobs and training is so important for middle east economies. back in one thousand eight

hundred eight the electric car was all the rage but the discovery of large petroleum reserves worldwide and the combustion engine quickly killed it off electrification was very much the theme at this year's geneva motor show but consumers are yet to be convinced of the eighty million cars expected to be sold this year just two billion of them will be electric but that's not stopping the big coal makers from making the switch on technology editor mariana honda as more most of us drive around and gas guzzling powered by fossil fuels they pump out cabin dockside but take a step back in time and it could all have ben so different. back in the icy ninety's the streets of london were humming with the sound of the world's first electric txi the humming bird was quiet and clean but out of reach for most people and then along came him re ford not only did he invent

a car that ran on an oil powered combustion engine he also worked out how to mess produce them on an assembly line suddenly cars were affordable and the illiterate cow that's expensive battery and limited range the sapir and more than a hundred years later our modern cones a still burning fossil fuels and contributing a quarter of global c o two new emissions rules trade tariffs and innovations a part of what's now driving comic is to make the switch to electric asia is leading the way more electric cars was sold in china last year than the rest of the world combined but what's not clear is the real cost of going a little trick the automotive industry in its current form employs millions of people around the world and then there's the question of who is going to buy them many consumers remain unconvinced that the electric car will be as claimed easy to use and affordable as they have been told but they are not well economics that it's

a bit early caught up with linda jackson who's the c.e.o. of citron earlier this week of the geneva motor show he began by asking her if electric cars switched take fewer people to assemble console in the what will it mean for jobs. although that's a very very good question so i don't know whether it's the question of whether it takes less. less people to make the cars it's about how many manufacturers will be able to afford to make the cars and how many of our customers will be able to buy our cars of course because electric cars do mean that serp attention to that will be an increase in price so this is very many factors playing in the fact in terms of what the future is for the automotive industry and i think one of the other things that we never talk about of course is not just about the oil. actually cars but of course all of the infrastructure that we need to be able to run and actually move about in electric cars so that's another factor that will impact our society so we are moving towards electric cars i think that's the general opinion of most

automakers but in the wake of the diesel emissions scandal is there a reluctance for consumers to step forward and buy electric cars. no i don't think there's a reluctance it's a fact because all manufacturers are now in the race to make sure that we get and introduce our electric cars i for example it citron make sure that i have a block plug in hybrid vehicle next year and every vehicle for next year will have an electric version so all of the manufacturers are making sure that the product is available the next question is customers are reluctant to buy it but what they're obviously very keen on understanding is making sure that they're able to use their cars they're able to charge their cars they're able to move around and be charging them whilst they're on the move and that's something that hasn't really been considered generally i think so that's one concern apart from that i mean everything will be available for customers but of course we have to realise as well that the cost of the batteries etc will mean that there is a an increment for being for having an electric car and i'm not sure that all

customers currently realise that there will be an increment so does china have an advantage when it comes to letter cause and batteries. what china of course has in terms of availability of batteries of course china is the lead so i mean it's clearly every manufacturer is trying to find ways to be able to support the supply of batteries in the future because that's absolutely fundamental nephew but he's looking at there are other ways but clearly china is for in a very strong position and clearly in terms of their own market is moving quickly towards electric in and obviously wanting to encourage electric obviously on the back of the fact that they are the major battery supplier so clearly it's a major concern and question for all manufacturers to be able to find solutions to make ensure that we have the continued supply of batteries in the future and you plan to move into india what's behind me well what's behind that move festival in here is a very big market and it's we know it's a growing market so you know currently today it's about three million passenger

cars and it will double in by twenty twenty five so we know it's a big market it's a markets which we are not present in and you know sichuan wants to become more international. we have a very successful results in europe but now we want to grow we want to take the recipe that we used in europe to be able to conquer and go into new frontiers india is a very important market for it because of the size and also because we think that the citron brand with our values which is about being inspired by our customers close to my customers a mainstream brand unique styling and all of the services that we might offer we believe that we'll be able to offer something different to our potential indian customers so we're going in there we know it's a very complex market but we're going in there making sure that we understand what our indian customers would like and we hope to be offering our first because before the end of twenty twenty one now you are a breach living in france working for a french company can you explain what breaks it is. can anybody explain what

breaks it is you know all i can explain to you is is you know the impact on our business is you know the u.k. i might be british and i might be getting a french company but the u.k. is my fifth most important market in terms of volume so clearly it's a very important market for me can i explain what happened no because at the moment we don't know what's going to happen and i think that's the most important parties we don't know what's going to happen so we're all looking for clarity we all have our plans including p.s.a. we have plans for plan a plan b. heartbreaks itself. what's different maybe but until we know exactly what is going to happen we are in this very difficult stage of instability. porch vehicles into the u.k. so clearly i'm interested in what the terrorists might be if there are any it's a single market is an easy market for a supplier i mean so many questions are needing so many ounces when the jackson the c.e.o. of citron now in many parts of the world

a reliable electricity supply is still very much a problem in south africa for example rolling blackouts are impacting many businesses ability to operate eskom is one of the biggest power utilities in the world but it's technically insolvent and the crisis there is putting livelihoods at risk as malcolm webb reports from johannesburg. it's a problem for almost all businesses from mines to shops to trees like this one when did you know you can see it in your production. the full. need to see. if we were. not doing the way so you end up the people will just tell me when the power cuts the machine stop the lights go out and then the factory depends on this generates it be able to run it become a common sight in south african factories and businesses but it's not powerful enough to run all of the machines and it guzzles fuel that slows down production

and pushes up costs power stations have been struggling to keep up with demand economists and opposition politicians say yes' of corruption and mismanagement at the state endemic tricity company called eskom are to blame he was at the center of numerous corruption scandals throughout the nine year rule of former president jacob zuma investigators say he was corruption that caused stagnation of the whole economy it's come in many ways a microcosm of that there is a lot of you know policy uncertainty in this country and it's policy uncertainty which is generated by in effect creating a policy environment that suits the looting of the economy rather than investment in the economy and its foreign investment one hundred billion dollars of it the president will run oppose a promised since he took over just a very year ago along with tackling corruption in creating jobs we recognize

as do or south africans that our greatest efforts to end poverty unemployment and inequality well i too have a little unless we tackle state kept and corruption in all its manifestations and in the border areas of public life. general elections it due in two months time oppose their needs to convince people his a.n.c. government is succeeding its perceived ability to revive the economy tackle corruption and blackouts will be crucial. still to come on counting the cost briggs it twenty four hours later what happens if there's no deal we have a story from the spanish portuguese border. but first five million young people will be entering the job market every year for the next five years here in the middle east counting the cost has been following one

organization and its efforts to connect young men and women with jobs al-jazeera karim reports in arabic the words like means your connection it's also the name of a cutter reorganization that aims to connect young people with employment opportunities in places such as yemen somalia and palestine so far so lot of has helped one million young people across the middle east in north africa find meaningful work it's chairperson her highness she. was in geneva this week to mark the tenth anniversary of salata x. founding and to announce an ambitious new target in addition to the one million young people we have already connected with drops we now have committed with in place to connect another two million young men and women by twenty twenty two that's three million meaningful jobs and businesses thanks to silicon supporters

but we must do more. i did four of was proposed that we set a new target and it is the board of five million by two and you're going to. see a lot of acts as a bridge connecting often disaffected youth with apprenticeships micro financing initiatives and partners who can teach them how to run a business. the hope is it will help them become financially independent to achieve their aspirations and make a positive contribution to the economic and social development of their community slaughtered wants to combat marginalize ation in extremism it says young people who have jobs feel more connected to society bringing security and peace to neglected communities one of the main aims at the un in geneva this week was to attract new donors and strategic partners to helps a lot to deliver on its goal of helping five million young people within the next

three years the region is already struggling to create enough jobs for its youth and the international monetary fund estimates twenty seven million young people will soon be looking for work while initiatives such a slow or important it's clear that much more needs to be done and soon. while i was in geneva earlier this week too and i got the chance to sit down with the founder and chair. your highness thank you so much for being with us on counts in the cost you'll known all over the world for your advocacy for quality education and yet here you are in geneva talking about employment. is this a shift in emphasis for you how does this and the salute tech play into education and what are the challenges if particularly for the middle east north africa region as you know i am i'm i'm really i'm

a great believer in education i believe in power of the cation transforming lives and societies indication is the basic moving rock cafe for human development that is the basis for sound people can learn their skills their knowledge. of citizenry and also they will construct their first word of you but indication i know it's not enough for you to fall for that with decent work and appointments we failed to provide our young people with the right environment economic social and cultural environment for their respect and their hope we have your very young population one third of all relations between fifteen years old and twenty nine years old this is a very productive age this is the generation that can drive the engine of our economic growth and lead. our social changes because of the changes so i believe that it is better if to invest in them and to give them the

opportunity that by which they can be active in their societies and practice the citizenry or the art to the degree that we told them during their schooling and and so that's where that's where silla tech comes in so i think is is that he is working to for certain gaps a problem is that some of these young people they like skills that three can allow them to fit in this an ever changing market so thirdly it is training this young people to be employed so we had them for that employer ability also which. to be also entrepreneurs we provide them with their own get and we try to instill in them their self-confidence to see themselves as that the citizens and we have also certain governments to change certain mindset certain policies to create this ecosystem by which this child people can excel back this is this good citizenry your highness we talk

a lot on counting the cost about the un's sustainable development goals how does cilla tech contribute towards those goals. set the course actually tackles. many of the. the g.'s so as it is from whether cheechoo this into wardak to gender equality to partnership i mean who knew we connect these young people to jobs or chin them to be entrepreneurs their families also came benefits from this businesses or this jobs their society and the reality in a way that the baiting the business and leave the whole community and also work in partnerships i mean we have international partners so regional partners and also the local partners local partners for us very essential because they are the one who can lead us towards the right progress there is no one size fits all so we need

really to to make sure that what you are offering is appropriate and they quit to the culture and the that i mix of the society that you operate in of course the regional and international partners they help us to do throws fairly certain expertise and knowledge to these local. people that we are helping and supporting your highness it's been an honor to have you on council because many thanks indeed for being with us thank you now a chinese company is challenging the us government in coal. force away says that a u.s. law banning the government and its contractors from using the company's products is unjust washington says that while weight poses a security threat al jazeera brown reports now from change in where huawei has its headquarters from the air while way success is clear just part of its sprawling complex in the special economic zone of change him. while weighs name literally means the achievements of china but the trumpet ministration says those

achievements more to cheating and stealing than the sort of innovation on display here allegations its top executives deny on thursday they held a news conference inviting selected media organizations including al-jazeera to confirm that while way has filed a lawsuit against the u.s. government over a ban which restricts federal government employees from using its equipment we are there is no us. challenge to all. these men only. but also oh this was me and us she was once more they insisted while ways not in the pocket of china's government and accuse the us of hacking its servers. go and jump around here this is hands are serious and this story and you know us since

while ways top officials were once like china's leaders they rarely spoke to the foreign media but the arrest of the firm's chief financial officer in canada where she's now fighting extradition to the united states has changed all of that and the firm has now begun an extraordinary legal and media offensive. huawei is a success story the chimes with many chinese people's sense of patriotism and pride it's not clear who's behind this music video now circulating on social media praising it smartphones the firm insists it had nothing to do with it. wow a is fighting another legal battle in canada where its chief financial officer mongering joe appeared before an extradition court on wednesday she's accused of breaking u.s. sanctions and money laundering monks lawyers argue her arrest was politically motivated

sure not to miss next week's counting the cost and finally this week british citizens living in the european union are waiting anxiously to see what decision their government parliament in london is about to make of the briggs's al-jazeera as laurence leamer reports now from the spanish town of monte which sits on the country's border with portugal. its carnival weekend i am wanting and people are on the streets it isn't a rich place by any means but the sense of community is obvious. but the home karen simon and thirteen year old jayden aren't so happy they fell in love with the place moved here years ago when a small consultancy from home jade is bilingual and regards himself as more spanish than british and they're watching events unfold in the u.k. with unmitigated horror yeah absolutely shamed because the every person i spoke to here in spain looks at me with pity or with with

a look in their face to say why one why you doing this and i'm so sorry that they're doing this to me i'm so sorry because i just cannot understand what is your problem what is the problem tell me what are you going to gain from leaving and what do you live up solution no idea i can answer them they worry about the impacts of brecht's it on the business but they were removed for about their son there was one instance where. overheard a difficult thing meant that we might have to go back to the parent protect our business. and he started crying he came in and he said i'm not going back to the carrier he can't make me go bach are such a no no no ok or don't worry about not fear just worry but is that moment you make me go back i'm going to run away and i'm going to get a plane and come back. now that. to rub salt into their wounds just as the u.k. has been turning away from europe so the kendricks european home has done the

opposite. with some fanfare i am joined forces with its portuguese neighbor villareal over the river to create a new so-called euro town called. the bridge linking the two countries the towns is the strongest metaphor imaginable the different directions the u.k. and e.u. heading in. on the portuguese side of the river the man in charge of the euro town has everything to say for closer european integration and nothing good about brics it. is rather an isolated europe germany alone england alone france alone cannot compete with bigger economies it makes sense to be united but it's also the idea of our europe sound a little villages have only small potential but together they are bigger and stronger on welfare and merging with his portuguese neighbor has done nothing to stop by a monti is celebrating its spanish traditions arguments in favor of breck's it restoring british pride

the worst of it has been over parts of paraguay and argentina you can see the bright white blob of cloud we had that gradually worked its way northward sort of spread out and now many more of us across brazil is seeing some pretty lively downpours as we head through the next few days we're going to see yet more of those showers and again some of them are going to give us some pretty impressive amounts of rain through parts of paraguayan into the northern parts of argentina and into the southern parts of brazil as well to the south of all of that it should be fine unsettled forcing born as ariza not too hot for getting to around twenty three degrees at the moment but at santiago we're a little bit higher up to twenty nine now for the central americas there's not a great deal going on weather wise a few bits and pieces of cloud drifting in on the winds and we're seeing one or two showers from that prefer dominantly most of us i think dry weather at the moment and that's the way to stay even as we head through the day on monday for north america there is a bit different we've seen some violent thunderstorms in the southeast and these have been stretching from texas up towards tennessee that's where we've seen the worst of the weather with large hail we've seen damaging gusts of winds and even

some tornadoes as well that system still is at risk of giving us some more severe weather in the southeast as we head through sunday so watch out for the severe weather here. this is zero. welcome to the al-jazeera news hour on live from my headquarters in doha with me elizabeth pronto coming up in the next sixty minutes and ethiopian airlines plane

a few minutes i mean we saw some nice unfaceable to tell just plain old russians ethiopia's prime minister ahmed tweeted today office of the pm on behalf of the government and people of ethiopia would like to express its deepest condolences to the families of those that have lost their loved ones on ethiopian airlines boeing seven three seven on regular shuttle flight to nairobi kenya this morning. the jet had been delivered just four months ago it's the fourth a version of the world's best selling airline the boeing seven three seven has flown billions of passengers worldwide since the one nine hundred sixty s. the latest seven three seven dash eight hundred max type has been redesigned to make it more fuel efficient thousands have been ordered by airlines worldwide. lol sure and i guarantee you probably don't know but it's a popular choice of the airlines it's a very safe well because there are now questions and this wall st jitters across

the industry. it's the second disaster within five months involving the boeing seven three seven max an identical lion air jet plunged into the sea off the coast of indonesia last october shortly after takeoff from jakarta killing all one hundred eighty nine people on board. boeing is being sued by some of the relatives of passengers who died and pilots have accused the american manufacturer of failing to warn them how to operate a new automated stall prevention system. safety questions again are being asked about why two planes from the seven three seven family would have had a good safety record for decades should crash within just a few months of each other and why so many lives have been lost again rob matheson al-jazeera. kenya's transport minister says an emergency team at nairobi airport is

helping passengers families we have initiated the airport's. emergency response is to basically take care of the relatives and friends who may be affected in the who. want to receive the passages upon arrival. the freight was expected to arrive you know be at about ten thirty five this morning. at this stage what you've done. used to establish. two centers. as the plane's pilot had reported difficulties and asked. kathryn soar she's joining us live from nairobi so what more are you hearing catherine from ethiopia this latest line that the pilot had reported difficulties.

yes there have been two press conferences in the last hour one held here in kenya and another one in ethiopia and from that ethiopia press conference by ethiopian airlines officials they did mention that the pilot tried after takeoff perhaps noticing some mechanical difficulties back. requesting to return this request was granted but then. almost immediately afterwards now they also both press conferences we got a breakdown of the nationalities the people who are in that fight. their wars thirty two kenyans eighteen canadians eight people each from china the u.s. and seven people from the u.k. six egyptians there were nine ifill paeans seven people from france and one past each from belgium uganda sudan yemen togo norway and. arabia now being

told that such a rescue mission is still going on. for more information this situation is still very fluid indeed here at the airport relatives are being directed to information and conflict centers that have been set up we've seen some of them were distraught journalists spoke to several of them one person relative particularly talked about his brother who was coming home on holiday from canada and another family that was very distraught the mother was having difficulties. talking to journalists but then one of the relatives mentioned that their relative a missionary was coming from d.r. . and she had just talked to them just a couple of days back was very excited to be coming back home to be meeting a wee while it's been a few months before she still had stories that are bound to be coming up relatives

still waiting for any information they can get about. it is a tragedy that will of course be felt around the world because as you mentioned and as we're hearing from the ethiopian government twenty seven national nationalities on board we've heard from kenyan authorities catherine that the most important thing for them to right now is to ensure that the families and friends of passengers waiting for them that they will have the highest levels of privacy as they wait for more information. yes. minister in charge of transport has been talking and in all the press briefings he has. that fact that this relatives need. at this hotel where they are just receiving counseling and also just getting more information from officials here. has been cordoned off by police journalists are not able to access

them just because the minister has been saying that they need this privacy at this time of grief he said this is a very sensitive and emotional time. kenya. sending the scene a senior delegation to. to be able to stand back to. information as well so he said that people who have lost loved ones should be accorded as you mentioned that privacy and just to mention a little bit elizabeth about this has a safety record that is. i mean it is a stable airline one of the fast growing in the region the top three hundred ten aircraft twenty of them. seven three seven five of them are on the max eight series and this particular aircraft at the beginning of this month developed some mechanical problems as well a pilot realized that indeed was delayed for about two hours and then issued

a statement saying that this is for the safety of the passengers so there was that problem as well it's going to be interesting going forward and with the investigations now beginning to see what exactly could have happened catherine thank you very much for that for now that's catherine sawyer with the latest live in nairobi now the jet that crashed is the latest version of the world's best selling airliner a brand new boeing seven three seven max during the fastest growing airline fleet in africa just four months ago it is the second seventy seven max to crash in the last five months a lion air jet came down off the coast of indonesia and toba killing one hundred eighty nine people on board some of their relatives a sewing boeing and pilots have accused the american manufacturer of failing to warn them how to operate a newly automated stall prevention system well let's get more on this now we're joined by khalid bailey is an aviation analyst and pilot and

a former federal aviation administration safety team representative and he's joining us live from new jersey very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so issues have been raised about a feature on the seven three seven max which the families of line air victims say pilots weren't adequately trained on this is one of the trained on this is one of the things that this boeing for from what you know what ethiopia airlines pilots adequately trained on this new feature on this new plane in fact. usually when federal authorities from any country put in a directive the airlines will react and do the appropriate training there is no reason to believe that the airline did not comply with any kind of directive or recommendation from either the government or the airplane manufacturer in this case which is boeing but i think the key here is you know the issue that there is

obviously potential problems with the air speed and the angle of attack indicators on the aircraft which you know make may cause that the pilot to need to react properly to a malfunctioning instrument or instruments so the i think the underlying issue is here is there should be there will be more scrutiny on the air speed and that angle of attack indicator which basically for your viewers who don't know the angle attack indicator basically is is giving you an indication of the climb angle as it's climbing or descending from the airport or whether you know whether it's in normal flight mr beatty a couple of questions on what you're talking about one what boeing had given the directive for ethiopian airlines to train their pilots on this new feature that is new to the seven three seven max that again that the victims the families of the nine may have some say that their pilots went trained on yes.
