office appears to be an indictment on how factions within the a.n.c. led by zuma abused the intelligence capabilities of the state since two thousand and five it would appear that zuma has influence with in state security allowed him to run for the presidency despite already facing corruption charges when he was the deputy president now the report also says that under suma the security agency spied on unions civil society organizations also influenced the media and abused funds and conducted illegal intelligence gathering operations assume a resigned as president early last year and that was amid number of corruption allegations when he which he still continues to face since then president has promised to clean up corruption now there's been no word on whether zuma will be charged but these latest revelations will only add to the increasing legal problems that zuma faces as well as the continuing difficulties within the ruling party.

capital nairobi from there catherine sawyer reports. nothing much is left but fragments of eighty three zero two at the crash scene nathu pia's eastern town off the shelf to the plane went down just six minutes after takeoff from international airport in the capital addis ababa prime minister ahmed was at the scene alia his office was a fast to tweet about the crash expressing condolences to those who had lost their loved ones one hundred fifty seven people while on board non-survivors among the most affected as you may expects is kenya which had a boat that had to pose a dozen boat out of the one forty nine passengers. it's an emotional time for friends and family as they waited for any news at the main airports in nairobi and

. we were comfortable doesn't really do we see people coming out there was. a lot of it was going to come out. of fuel meaning so we we saw some nice on facebook he told us from. the russians the jet had been to leave a just four months ago and had undergone a major service in february it also had just arrived from to hand his bag with no difficulties but it appears the pilot on the nairobi route realized there was a problem just after takeoff and asked to turn back but then contact was lost a few minutes later. on that route but mohamed no mohamed is an ethiopian airlines staff member has had more than two hundred flight hours after receiving the aircraft we did the first maintenance check on for every fourth two thousand and nineteen it was a new and clean aircraft. it is a fourth version of the world's best selling ally now the boeing seven three seven has flown millions of passengers wild wide since the one nine hundred sixty s.

has been redesigned to make it more fuel efficient thousands have been ordered by airlines worldwide you have flown should go and i guarantee you probably loaded on a seven three seven it's a popular choice of the airlines it's a very safe but of course there are now questions and this will send jitters across the industry. and identical lion air jet planted into the sea off the coast of indonesia last october shortly after taking off from jakarta killing all a hundred and eighty nine people on board boeing is being sued by some of the passengers relatives who died and pilots have accused the american manufacturer of failing to warn them how to operate a new automated stalls prevention system. questions are being asked about how to aircrafts. from the same boring seven three seven family could crush just within months of each other monday has been declared

a national day of mourning in ethiopia and investigations into the crash have started a lot of people are anxious to know what could have gone wrong with e.t. flight three zero two but many relatives say they just want to grief katherine soy al jazeera nairobi. are told curtis is a former airline safety engineer at boeing he says the seven three seven max is a popular model bought by airlines all over the world. the backlog is so he says boeing had no further orders for the aircraft to take mostly eight years to work through the backlog so yes this airplane will be around for decades to come and this is the version of the aircraft that's the most advanced in many ways and has some systems including fly control systems which have been changed and again during this investigation those things will be looked at if the black boxes is if other evidence shows that one of those systems was malfunctioning or had not been

repaired properly or was it was a handle and probably by the crew that of course will be very insightful well the most important change when it comes to how the airplane handles has to do with the fuel efficiency part of it indirectly there are the different kind of engine put on the aircraft with a larger engine and in order to fit the aircraft the engine of the aircraft the aircraft had to be redesigned landing gear was extended somewhat and the engines were sitting a bit forward compared to other versions because of that the balance of the aircraft changed and there were some changes to the fly control system such that the aircraft would handle better under some circumstances getting back to the liner event one of the things that investigators are looking at is whether that system was operating properly at the time of the crash now without going into great detail there was something going on with the liner aircraft at previous crews have recognize and correct but the accident crew did not recognize or correct. it's

unclear at this point if that system is even involved in this aircraft crash and have been dramatic developments in the trial of two women accused of murdering the half brother of north korea's leader kim jong un one of them has just been freed last louis is life it's not sad the cost in shah alam flaws what happened there today. same as you said a really unexpected development today was supposed to be have been the start of the defense trial of the vietnamese accused the hong instead it opened with prosecutors asking the court or applying to court for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal with respect to the indonesian suspect city i shot now on the they city's lawyers then argued that it should be a full acquittal that city i should be granted a full acquittal the judge ultimately agreed with the prosecutors that she should

be granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal and city has left the court she left the dock shortly after the judge made his decision and as we understand she will be heading home to indonesia soon this was a very unexpected development the prosecutors did not give a reason as to why they're asking for the charge of the murder charge against city i shot to be dropped but from what we understand the big the case the city i shot her lawyers argue it is not very strong the c.c.t.v. footage captured at port does not does not point to city having been does not is not strong enough to link city i shot to the case and now she is a free person now the case will still continue against the suspect that's john she . so where does this this trial go from here there in force.

well the case has to continue against one key haul as far as we know prosecutors have not applied they're not dropping the murder charge against the vietnamese suspect she whole lawyers are due to argue on her behalf and today that due to present in court on her behalf today she is also expected to take the stand she's going to testify and she's going to be cross-examined as well now on the case against her lawyers have said is that she had no idea she was taking part in a murder and said she had said herself that she thought she was taking part in a reality t.v. show but bill for you remember back in august two thousand and eighteen the judge had decided that the prosecution had juiced enough evidence to to to make the true coat to make the two accused city and drawing people in the vietnamese an indonesian suspect prevent their defense in court and this is what's happening now the judge then said that. could well have been

a political assassination but there is no concrete evidence to prove that and that is why donte hong is back in court today with her lawyers trying to prove that she is innocent or flores thanks for that florence louie lived there in shah alam. jiri n a president abdelaziz bouteflika is reportedly back home from switzerland where he'd been getting medical treatment state t.v. said his plane landed at a military base south of the capital algiers the demonstrators were back out on the streets demanding he dropped his plan to run for a fifth term as sonia gago after a two week stay at a swiss hospital abilities beautifully was apparently back in algeria according to a statement from his office pictures an algerian t.v. showing what is reportedly the president's motorcade driving from the airport this is perhaps the most challenging episode in beautifully twenty year rule a seismic moment in the country's recent history with little sign of diminishing if
