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 would boeing had given the directive for ethiopian airlines to train their pilots on this new feature it is new to the seven three seven max that again that the victims the families of the line may have victims say that their pilots went to train don yes keep in mind the minute and accident happens or when there is evidence of that you know a minute manufacturer may or may not be to blame the many many factual wants to protect themselves so they will issue all kinds of recommendations or directives to

airlines in operators so in this instance so when you have a big airline you know the question is how long does it take to implement you know a recommendation for ford for training or action on a new system so if you have a really big airline you know there might be you know it's a one month or two month or three month period where the airline would say you know we need some time to be in compliance here but we are starting everything right away so that the question is what was the airline fully in compliance you know given the fact that there were multiple you know dozens and dozens or hundreds of pilots that had to be trained and there's. no reason to think that he would not be in compliance right this is an airline with an extremely good safety record. that is true and keep in mind no airline wants to crash when an airline has a crash it typically is devastating to the bottom line of an airline so there's no

. reason for an airline not to be in compliance which you know is that would never happen for a legitimate pull size airline when you are talking about i think what you call the angle of attack. what is the adice album like as an airport to fly that it's at a very high altitude. you know well most most big airports that are you know that have large airliners like seven thirty seven's or seven fifty seven s usually have significant safety systems they have instrument approaches for landing . and you know are very regulated by the government i don't forsee the airport in this instance being an issue especially. typically a landing is where usually the problems are at you know smaller rural airports usually you know when you take off an airplane once you're off in your clear of obstacles you know you're clear. the other interesting thing is if the pilot did

give some kind of. communication to air traffic control that might lead you to believe that the problem wasn't really imperatively serious typically in major disasters when crashes happen or there are explosions usually there's no communication from the pilots the pilots are so focused on that catastrophic event that they don't even have time to call our traffic control so the fact that there was a call made terror traffic control in this instance. you know obviously it might lead us to believe that it was a controllability issue that they were struggling for control. not like let's say an explosion where you know the plane the airplane is just obliterated and the and the pilots have no time for communication so you know i am leaning more towards a control bill that he issue here but keep in mind it is still early and the investigation hasn't really even started yet yesterday thank you very much for your

time and your expertise on this we really appreciate that as kind by any. chance and thank you. now we have more ahead on the news hour including. you could impact the world of fine art especially if taxes go up on imports and exports. and from the football. clubs. algerians have launched a. protest against president that as these election bid activists have been campaigning for a general strike and civil disobedience in protest of his bed to secure a fifth term was supposed to last for five days or use of playing

a leading role in the biggest protests in nearly thirty years not symbolic as a political activist and he says most universities were told that their holiday had been brought forward so they. most of universities. received an instruction to close they are there classes and to suspend their classes but students are not refusing this decision this decision that they consider illegitimate because first they actually know they are convinced that this decision is months evaded by a wish from the government to you know disorganized the movement and to demobilize the students because when students if students are not in they are in universities a lot of them do not live in and in in the capital city for example and needs to go to they respective regions so this is an attempt from government to weaken the

movements i am right now my my alma mater which is the political nick school of architecture and you're been planning and students has been you know programming in scheduling the bates for would beat and today they are debating a students are debating. throughout universities to talk about the solution and to talk about their bubble ization so students are aware and fortunately aware of this situation and they are taking the rights the rights and measures to avoid the weakening of the movement so they are mobilizing through debates through workshops through through discussions public discussions with other citizens and they are also scheduling protests and marches during this week so this would not weaken the moment it will actually strengthen its. protests are also taking place and have. joining us live from the french capital that many people tend out there to

talk to how strong is the support for the protest from the diaspora. yes there are odds say quite a few thousand people here in the us that rif meek in central paris they have come they say in solidarity with those protests that have taken place across out over the past few weeks cooling on up to the seas a push to take a not to stand for a fifth presidential term and you know whatever happens in algeria of course resonates very strongly here in france because there are some four million people of algerian origin across frogs many who emigrated decades ago about this more recently and of course generations of young people who were born here and it's interesting at this protest here in paris how many young people there actually are and they say they hear it because what happens in our journey in the future is really important for them because they feel like a beautifully cut that they simply hasn't been enough done for young people like

them in terms of jobs and opportunity and sasha has there been any response to these protests and fronts from the french government. or the french government have been very cautious in terms of these protests they say they are monitoring them very carefully indeed but they say that it is really up to the algerian people watch happens to them they all the ones who can determine their future and some of the people at this protest say that that's disappointing for them because for all to. say since the country of human rights hit it is not coming out in support of some of these opposition protests as it has for example in recent months in venezuela the situation there where fraud is for a focal indeed in support of the opposition but there's no doubt that experts will say that the history between fronts now tyria france of course

a former colonial rule of algeria means the topic is very sensitive indeed we take a closer look at the many i'll turn to lives. in frogs. sing abdellatif alfie was born in algeria but he's lived in france for fifty years he's music draws on the sounds of the sorry region where he grew up. despite decades in france abdellatif passionate about how geria he's closely following and supporting the protests there that call for abdelaziz bouteflika to give up his bid for a fifth presidential term so for me it's amazing because algeria is have seen what happened in the arab world the yellow best seen france what's happening in venice where i'm personally i've been emotional transported i want to go here we were all asking why don't we go in the streets and now finally we are in the streets all together. france is home to the biggest algerian origin population abroad estimated

at more than four million people thousands of algerians in france have demonstrated in cities like paris in mass a in a show of solidarity with a compadre it's many of the protesters are young there's no phones on the algerians living in france have very strong links with their country many left long ago disappointed and wanted to reinvent themselves others came to work and study one day we hope to go home to a new democratic algeria that gives people a future paris now gere's have a close but difficult relationship one way down by history algeria was colonized by the french for more than one hundred thirty years it gained independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty two after an eight year war today france is one of algeria's main trading partners the french government has taken a very cautious approach to the situation in algeria the french foreign minister says that paris is of course watching events very closely but the future of algeria king says is not hands of its people. argyria is

a sovereign country and it's up to the algerian people and them alone to choose their leaders and their future is on every some say the french government is quietly concerned over further instability in north africa algeria borders libya a major route for people and arms smuggling to europe abdul r.t. says such fears are unfounded he says that algeria is turbulent past means many people like him are wary of chaos what they hope for he says is a peaceful transition to a fairer and more harmonious future butler al jazeera paris. now nine female protesters in sudan who were sentenced to lashes have had their punishment survived but a court has jailed them for a month meanwhile students in khartoum under fire and security forces by protesting against the government in universities are boycotting elections and they stand for more protests from opposition groups planned on sunday. to russia now where

protesters in moscow are condemning a proposed internet control law which is being likened to an online on russia's lower house of parliament passed the internet bill last month proposed this all and . through russia the kremlin says changes are needed to protect from foreign cyber attacks critics say it gives the kremlin even more control over freedom of expression let's go to our correspondent step boss and she was among the protests and she's joining us live from moscow to tell us what the what the main concerns are how would internet be restricted if this bill was passed. around fifteen thousand people have demonstrated here in moscow today for internet freedom they say hands off from the russian internet say for internet we don't want any isolation the bill basically wants to do is to give the powers to the state to carve out the russian internet from the worldwide web if that's necessary basically

isolating russia and that's why a lot of people especially young people came to the street today to protest against this russia has a very broad very modern internet and it's basically one of the last sources for some kind of in the plan the information in the country television the newspapers the radio are basically under state control so the internet is the last resource to the government to control this is necessary because they are afraid of cyber attacks from foreign countries and this came about because only last week it was reported that the so-called trolls factory in st petersburg was cut off from the internet during the u.s. midterm elections by the american cyber command and step is this bill expected to be passed into law these protests putting any pressure on lawmakers. well it's very likely to be processed but

a man can still be put in so that can be. changes to the bill which makes it basically maybe less strong there's also a lot of concern that the government doesn't have the chip nor the manpower to implement such an ambitious plan to control the whole internet here in russia so a lot of people also quite skeptical about what this is actually going to achieve and if it's going to achieve something some people even say it could endanger the internet in russia even more a lot of traffic could be disrupted and businesses could be affected by it. you very much for that finale that step boss and live and thank you. right it is time for the weather now here steph thanks elizabeth over to the u.s. again where there's another battle in the weather let's take a look at what's going on them because at this time of year in spring you still have very cold air over canada but for the southeast already getting quite warm now for the gulf states and these two weather types they fight it out and when they do we just see one round of tornadoes after another we've just seen the last one is

out of the swirling mass of cloud here it dragged its feet from texas up to tennessee and that's where we saw the worst of the severe weather so we saw some tornadoes they weren't too big not too damaging compared to the ones we saw the other day anyway and we've also seen quite a bit of wind damage and some very large hail as well now this latest system is beginning to pull away but there's still the risk of seeing something from alabama up towards north carolina during the course of the day but then the system gradually sweeps away and i think the so it's going to take that snow with it as well and that snow's being brought in on some very brisk winds so we are seeing some drifting as well but all of that by the time we get to monday it's beginning to clear up and things are looking a good deal brighter for many of us here in washington d.c. about forty not too bad for the west though is still pretty cold for many of us here and you can see down in the south we've got a little bit more in the way of wet weather that is lurking here that's on next system elizabeth and that's going to work its way eastwards and give us more severe

weather probably wednesday thursday in the week steph thank you thank you very much steph now still ahead on the news hour remembering the tibetan uprising against chinese food sixty years on look at what's changed. why efforts to contain the bowl of virus in the democratic republic of congo are under threat once again. and in sports writers struggle to get to grips with conditions ahead of the first race of the new russian g.p. season. toilers military government is accused abuse. repressive pulls to silence critics. but a new brigade of offices is fighting back one o one a snake's thailand's rebel losses. zero. al-jazeera where ever you.

good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news our top story the plane crash in ethiopia has killed one hundred fifty seven passengers and crew onboard the an airline's jet was fine from. kenya that is the second question five months involving the latest version of the world's. boeing seven three seven. algerians have launched a partial strike as part of protests against president. the strike is supposed to last for five days the ruling party is calling on all political sides to work together and protesters in moscow are condemning the proposed control law which is being likened to an online. the kremlin says changes are needed to protect from foreign cyber attacks critics say it gives the government even more control of the freedom of expression. now parts of venezuela remain without out of trust city as the political battle for power continues or mass rallies have been held both for

and against president. he's blaming the power and telecom blackouts on what he called an international cyber attack while the us has a coup attempt led by rival on why there has been defeated by the opposition leader to lead a nationwide march on. the boys there. it was a protest territory in the capital. thousands responded to opposition leader call to take over. an area that's been off limits for the opposition because it has been traditionally controlled by supporters of. those trying to convince the police to join in the protest. we want them to join us because we are the people not the government we are the majority right now that need change. it's not represented by nicolas maduro. this rally is the opposition's latest move to oppose model government after

a failed attempt to get aid into the country with the help of the united states it was gathered in three different parts of that i guess and then made it to this haven't you and now they're trying to make it till the end of this road where they're supposed to meet opposition leader i want to write about they're saying as you can see here that if i have a national guard at the moment i doubt that. a few minutes later people started to push to get the body of aryan national guard off the street they left the area to avoid a major confrontation. i. arrived hours later begging venezuelans not to lose hope. we've said it before but once to wear out brothers and sisters and yes the road has been very long the road has worn us out but we will never tire in the search for freedom. the protest happened after

a major power outage left much of venezuela in complete darkness the first blackout was caused by a failure a big woody hydroelectric plant in the state of. electricity supply began to return on saturday but then power and communications collapsed once again. the government also organized and i entirely imperialist protests close to the presidential palace. blamed the opposition and the united states for the power cuts . they were conducting highly scientific energy attacks with advanced technology. experts called electromagnetic attacks against the transmission lines to generate interruptions in the process of national reconnection. venezuelans are already struggling with an unprecedented economic crisis of the past few days has allowed the opposition to

gain ground in areas they were not able to reach before. us. but the scum that are being blamed for killing nine policemen in myanmar there are pause was attacked in the western state of iraq on armed groups the article army is accused of aiding military and persecuting muslims. now and there's election commission has announced the dates for parliamentary elections that would take place in seven phases between april and may about mine hundred million people are eligible to vote let's get more on those we're joined by correspondent says jamil he's live for us and the indian capital we have been waiting for this announcement for a while for as you know so when is the world's largest democracy going to the polls . well there's a bit that's just that we've been waiting a while the opposition's actually accuse the election commission of delaying this

announcement because once you know dates are announced no government spending can be announced and the government has been on an announcement spree for the past month announcing about one hundred fifty seven new projects throughout the country but like you say another big news here is that there will be almost nine hundred million people voting that's up from about eight hundred fourteen million in this last election so these are some big numbers elizabeth there's also one other issue that came up is the electronic voting machines in two thousand and fourteen it was the first time that all ballots were being done electronically when al-jazeera covered this election i was in this giant room in assam one of the first place to go to the polls and it was surreal seeing hundreds of these machines being tested out by electro election officials there's a screeching noise under going through each one but now each one of those machines is going to have a paper trail and that's to address concerns of tampering brought up by some opposition parties some analysts say that may even make the counting go longer now elizabeth one other issue though we're hearing is that it's actually the main theme

of this election is going to be the same as previous years the economy the b j p and the governing and the government under prime minister narendra modi has been praised for making business easier cutting a lot of the red tape but they have been criticized for having lost sight of growth in favor of large corporations and that the common people have been benefiting that unemployment is actually up and one thing also to keep in mind elizabeth that no matter what the issue is this government last time one with about one fifty one percent of the votes in parliament with only about thirty two percent of the votes so parties getting as many votes is as important as where those votes are found the elections. are taking place at a time of heightened nationalism following the suicide bombing in kashmir and clashes on what impacts is that going to have.

well many critics say that that's a way for the government to cover some of the economic descript economic to downsize that i just mentioned nationalism especially since the suicide bombing on february fourteenth against indian troops which led to the conflict with pakistan where the government and the opposition have both accused each other of trying to politicize the issue but war many people feel that this idea of nationalism may cover some for some of the shortcomings in the economy that the government hasn't been able to fulfill very interesting fares thank you for that that's fun and fez jamail live in new delhi thank you. now tibetan activists and human rights supporters are marking the sixtieth anniversary of an uprising against chinese vole rallies are being held outside to pet and countries in third in taiwan and india but china's put restrictions on tourists and journalists who want to visit the himalayan territory critics say it's another sign that beijing is repressing the rights of tibetans problematics and reports. on march tenth one thousand nine

hundred fifty nine chinese soldiers poured into tibet china says it was liberating the himalayan country it had ruled since one nine hundred fifty one but it was also suppressing protests against chinese authority which had grown and were becoming more violent tens of thousands of tibetans were reported to have been killed monasteries were destroyed tibet's spiritual leader the dalai lama was forced into exile in india where he remains. every march tenth since the demonstrations have been held around the world in support of tibetan independence it's an ok sinful man to be any worse or at timothy's represent the anger and the sentiment of that it happens again six decades of political suppression. they have been denying they have religious cultural and then you're right china has placed restrictions on foreigners including journalists visiting to bet when you go back to those you know

six years ago the cia was actually involved in 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. regarded as something that is only means trouble and. 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 friends can't communicate with the traffic cop protest this sort of suffocating atmosphere on sunday the streets of tibet may stay quiet while demands for tibetan independence are heard around the

world rob matheson al-jazeera. now max allotment specializes in modern chinese history at georgetown university and catherine and he says china has invested a lot and tibet tibetans want to be treated as equals. there's a lot of new stuff around the streets the infrastructure is beautiful people are living in apartment buildings in many of the new urban centers of tibet and the neighboring provinces of china high gansu or sichuan life is getting better in many ways and the people's republic of china has made enormous investments in the economy and in the infrastructure however course there is a but involved here if you are a tibetan citizen of the people's republic of china you don't feel like such an equal citizen with your hand chinese colleagues or friends so a lot of the things that really matter to a bit to tibetans like education the size of their families family planning their

careers the job opportunities for their children just who they interact with when they go to a government office and want to get something done. they definitely feel very pessimistic. very it's an unpleasant experience and they feel like they don't have a lot of control or or decision making power over their lives i think the primary goal of most of it and it would be to receive more respect from the chinese state tags fully. receive the privileges which are guaranteed to them by the chinese constitution the only place where real pressure can be exerted on the chinese government is by hand chinese themselves by the by the larger domestic audience within china who on occasion have come to care of her deeply about tibet so if people across china chinese scholars academics politicians average people in places like shanghai. you know beijing come to feel like you know tibetans deserve

a better shake they might exert a certain amount of pressure on the chinese government to change things. to disease health minister has resigned after the sudden deaths of eleven babies within twenty four hours of the same public hospital the health ministry says early indications suggest a blood infection was the cause. now a treatment center for a bowl of victims and democratic republic of congo has been attacked for the third time in a month the clinic was targeted just hours before a visit by the head of the world health organization some calling for blame foreign aide workers for spreading the virus bobber and go part of whole. soldiers drag a suspected attacker through the forest close to the temporary burleson and democratic republic of congo is one of several men said to have fired shots into the buildings where medical teams a bassline to contain the spread of ribera after finding myself in the action while
