indicated here and because of the similarities between the two accidents in indonesia and now in ethiopia i think it's a very wise and the. better to be safe rather than sorry some twenty percent of all the boys don't resettle max aircraft which are on order are going to china. a large piece of their sales in a chinese airlines canceling this aircraft if something shirish is found wrong it will be a big blow to boeing sure boeing and of course the federal aviation administration in the united states will be looking very carefully at the investigation into this crash to discover exactly what did happen me and mar for instance has stopped flying the aircraft others had an air of fiji or fiji airlines has to actually aircraft in three more coming this year it has essentially said that it's confident in it aircraft and it's pilot training and will continue to fly them virgin
10:01 pm
australia has thirty of the aircraft on order it at the moment is saying it's not making any decisions on that order until it hears more details of what happened so there's going to be a bit of a mixed reaction around the world but there are a lot of matches flying and a lot of airlines all ground until they found out exactly what the situation is the un special rapporteur on me and maher says she fares and new crisis for the rich. young the lee has briefed the human rights council after visiting cox's bazaar refugee camp it's home to almost one million who've been forced to escape from the violence and they ring me in mar stephanie decker joins us now from cox's bazar in bangladesh and so stephanie we've heard that message from the un special rapporteur how will it resonate with the people in the camps you've been visiting. well what everyone is telling us is what they want just when it comes to the un
10:02 pm
actual wrap her findings are recommendations they're not binding but i think they are important because again we're talking about it right there raising awareness and she does say that she wants the case to be taken to the international criminal court i think that is something to keep an eye on because she is here and visited the camp yesterday we saw them they did not want to be filmed the delegation actually came out of the car when they saw our camera they went back into the car i spoke to them and they said we don't want to be filmed is not part of our remit they wanted to speak to people interview people and we are going to be hearing after conference from them. again what are the people want they want to go home i mean they want safely and they want identity papers they want to be recognized this is a little bit but they have to have them even if. the large tree is a reminder of the thick extensive forests that stood here just eighteen months ago
10:03 pm
now uprooted to make way for hundreds of thousands of right they too forced from their land this is now the biggest refugee camp in the world to me like a tune fled me in mar in august two thousand and seventeen during the military crackdown on the regime in iraq and state she says of course she wants to go home but only if there is peace what they skate from she remembers was terrifying but others at the. our next door neighbors husband and wife they were killed which is why we left how can we go back at least if we die here as a muslim will be allowed to have a proper funeral but if we die there will just be thrown away. she was part of a mass exodus into neighboring bangladesh as well as the united nations accusing the me and my military of burning homes abductions rapes and murder almost one million rangle appear in constant. are each with an individual story a perfect violation of the law and now the band two hearts stretch as far as the
10:04 pm
eye can see in every direction this is a makeshift city built out of human tragedy and there is now an international push to find out what happened and who is responsible. the international criminal court has sent a team to the camp as part of what it calls a preliminary examination they did not want to be filmed preferring to keep their first visit here low profile the un special rapporteur yankee levy was in cox's bazaar in january but it's the visit of the i.c.c. that could eventually lead to charges against the me i'm our government justice is something everyone here wants including twenty year old mohammed who says he worries he is losing his life here but going back for him has conditions out a little in your god we need cards we need them to recognize us as running is also our mothers and sisters were raped we want justice from the i.c.c.
10:05 pm
and they have to give us back our latin properties which were confiscated mohammed like so many of the other refugees was born in me and maher with no papers no official status not officially recognized the medium our government says they are bengali muslims despite their families having been in myanmar for generations all want to return home and many say they know it will be a difficult and long journey. so the question now sami is what happened to the one million people there was to retreat into myanmar that was a deal between me and my bangladesh but you i don't feel up to put that on hold because it was unclear what kind of circumstances the people would go back to whether it was safe for the people there trust the government and the n.r.a. they don't want to go back without any sort of really sure and certain. change and then also there is a deal on the table to move around just over twenty shall jibbering issued uninhabited islands here in bangladesh collection and that was the deal i just say
10:06 pm
again we need to clarity what are the conditions and people need to do this voluntarily so a lot of truth on the table about what to do with these people new solutions and certainly the amount of n.g.o.s operating in the country are a lot of them there's a lot of money going into it there needs to be a solution but of course i didn't think that is anywhere close at this point in time stephanie the deal from coaxes was all. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including overnight bombing on u.s. banks forces resume operations to capture syria's the last i saw wrong place. british prime minister to resign may faces a major fight m.p.'s gear up for the big vote on tuesday. and serena williams' return to action is cut short of the details later in sports.
10:07 pm
more than one thousand algerian judges say they will not monitor the april elections if president that these beautifully pursues a fifth term the group has formed the sprinter organization in protest against beautifully because reelection campaign meanwhile clerics in the country are calling on the religious affairs ministers a stop pressuring them into giving pro-government sermons state t.v. reported the eighty two year old president has returned home on sunday have been protests around the country against his bid to run for another term. isn't an algerian political analyst and resident scholar at carnegie middle east center she joins us now by skype from beirut good to have you with us so listening to the announcements from. judges i was stunned to see the signs of the system breaking down there. well exactly this is the sign of the system breaking
10:08 pm
down but this is also the sign of the loyalties the people who has been moved to the region in an area as are no longer eager to be loyal i think these are the first crack down within the system i think this is of finally. the people who are listening to the voices of millions of algerian who went down and took up the street in march first and march eighth. so do you believe listening to some of the statements from the army for example that they share the same vision as the people does that mean the do you think. with a flicker is not going to remain as friends are and who will end up not running for another term well i think at this stage of this situation is no longer possible
10:09 pm
i think president putin has to step down the pressure and coming from the street is too strong then too intense for having and for being with the demonstration in algiers on march first i can see that in the determination of a jury ins and their determination their frustration and their anger is very strong and i don't think that they will blink. well i think the best solution at this point is to to step down of course of the entire region as we know it is not too likely to crumble however the facade needs to change and that was going to be my question actually even if it does that down does that mean a real change in power there does it mean real democracy. well you know the algerian system is a very complex and one and you know it is not a one man show if i may say behind the men behind there is an entire region and
10:10 pm
tiresias the algerian resume is composed by several strategies or circles of powers and there is the after leadership there is the bureaucracy there is the military elite and there is the business tycoons and all these people have different interests that are intertwined and what they meant to these people and these circles are these interests them political or economic. it is it is really a deep state that there is running deep so this is why i insist i think we might see change if that change happened but the entire region is not to go going to collapse. other demonstrations now becoming more coordinated you mention that you've been out much the first with the demonstrators how does it look like to you . well you know we haven't seen that in algeria since the ninety's this is a very unique sequence of events millions of durian to cut the street to say no to
10:11 pm
the fifth term for now their demands are very focused and clear meaning that no four of them to president would clear that you know their grievances are numerous and this you know their demands might grow and for now also i've seen a very if i may say past they pick the most traitors you know they've been very civic there was no violence almost no violence. and they insisted people insisted on the peaceful nature of their protests and what i've seen i've seen you know a very. have seen people with a high political maturity if i may say or thank you very much for your analysis on that one. a call to malaysia has freed a suspect think use of killing kim jong un kim jong nam robert lee is strange half brother of north korean leader kim jong il and in

10:19 pm
a few more months to continue buying oil and the electricity from iran for its own forces sanctions against tehran our correspondent fashionable name is in baghdad with more on the visit and what both sides hope to get out of it. this is only the second time an iranian president has visited iraq president hassan rouhani arrived in baghdad saying that the bond between iran and iraq is deep and that unity between the two countries is crucial to creating prosperity and stability in the region ronnie's visit comes as he is under fire at home the economy has continued to deteriorate since the united states reimpose same sions last november rouhani is looking to iraq to perhaps circumvent the same sions looking for an economic boost from one of its closest allies as for iraq iran and the united states are two of its biggest allies iraq and iran have discussed establishing
10:20 pm
a free trade zone along their shared fourteen hundred kilometer border increasing bilateral trade by as much as eight billion dollars in the coming year and creating a railway linking the two countries now one political analyst notes that iraq is in an untenable position given that iran and the united states are its two closest allies is going to have to conduct a waltz trying to appease both without angering the other the analyst says that iraq will also be extremely sympathetic to the iranians having themselves lived through us ancients and knowing all too well their crippling effect forces allied with libya's u.n. recognize governments have been called on to defend the northern city of service from an advance spy a wall old city for this fight says. libyan national army is backed by the united
10:21 pm
arab emirates and egypt it's now less than forty kilometers from serbs five thousand troops along the tripoli based government driving insists on monday to bolster defenses. u.s. backed fighters in syria are fighting to claim eyesores last remaining territory the kurdish led syrian democratic forces resumed the attack on balls often causing of the pausing rather to allow civilians to leave the s.d.f. says there are still about four thousand civilians in the town using them as human shields. i mean it has more from gaza. border with syria. where there is fighting ongoing as we speak but certainly not indeed tensity that we so last night when this every new battle was leach and but that actually follows a pattern has been going on for the past few weeks in this says that the as the as as they have the kurdish forces and the coalition carry out attacks. still
10:22 pm
positions and then sort of hold and see if there's any kind of reaction if there's any kind of wish to negotiate more for civilians to come out even for fighters to surrender if you just recall over the past week we have seen about four thousand i still fighters surrendered to the kurdish forces and then we have seen next to them thousands of maybe about twelve thousand women and children coming out of goo's now it is estimated that about four thousand people are still in there but i have to also say that past estimation had been actually wrong and both the kurdish forces and the coalition was taken aback by the number of people coming out of there so say that this battle will keep on going probably using this same pattern which is intensity of bombardment and charlie and then sort of holding off waiting
10:23 pm
to see what is the reaction from the other side. hundreds of syrians have protested against a new statue of former president hafez al asad crowds marched through the southern city of that are chanting syria is ours not for the house of assad they also called for the overthrow of president bashar assad the son of. syrian army who took control of that are from rebel forces in july. it's now up to british m.p.'s to decide the next steps for braggs it that's the message from the european union which says it remains committed to agreeing a deal in time for the u.k. to leave this month tuesday is the big vote m.p.'s will pass their verdict on prime minister to resume is planned to take britain out of the e.u. lawrence lee has the latest from london any sense of hope lawrence that this deal
10:24 pm
may pass parliament this time. well you know the thing is tomorrow is supposed to be the day of the big votes it was always the plan. and series a maze promise parliament would have another vote on her deal so morrow and if it gets voted down again as everybody thinks is going to happen then their parliament will be asked for to see if your opinions prepared to delay a brac sets but the problem is there's a rumor that's been going around parliaments all day today that because three of them a nose that should go in solution is intending now to renee go on her promise potentially have a different vote instead asking parliament what sort of deal they might be prepared to accept and if that happens there are already been warnings from many m.p.'s inside her own ruling conservative party that they would hold her to be in contempt of parliament for breaking her promise and so that would put at immediate risk. to
10:25 pm
her role as prime minister of the country so there is a sense now of real crisis i think here in government because she either has to go ahead with the votes in the knowledge that she'll lose and that would split her party one day or she changes the vote and rulings on her promise which would also split a party and they do seem at the moment completely lost and without any plans to really how they intend to go forward lawrence if it does come to this. a situation where the prime minister is found in contempt of parliament what happens next. well if she stood down that so there would have to be a leadership election the conservative party and there be a lot of pressure to hold a general election as well which in turn clearly would be another reason to delay the whole process more likely seen still to be at the moment stewart's parliament will take over the process and insists on a delay but that they would have to go back to the european union to ratify and the
10:26 pm
european has already said it won't accept a delay all twenty seven countries would have to agree to this of just a few weeks they would want a delay of getting over two years potentially to try to calm the whole thing down and start all over again but again you know none of these choices are any good for the for the party that's in charge of the country and it's you know everything is a metaphor with rex it's as we know it's like this this one seems to be a bit like a house on fire and all the doors are locked and you can't find any way out so however you look at this looks like there is little alternative to asking for a delay from the british side at least. well i mean the thing is that there's basically a standard three choices because downing street has said that things are actually deadlocked with the european union so to resume a zone deal isn't getting anywhere if that keeps failing and if they can't keep bringing it back over and over again on the same terms it's either leaving at the end of the month or next eighteen days away with no deal and there's absolutely no
10:27 pm
majority for that inside parliament because it just petrified everybody because the economic damage or you have to revoke article fifteen abandon the entire project or seek some sort of lay that is that so that that's appropriate for both the u.k. and the e.u. sides you know all those possibilities are still there it seems to a lot of us are the most likely is a delay but again all those m.p.'s and people in place like this you keep shouting who wants no deal and want the u.k. to leave very little resign from the conservative party so she's so she's trapped with these two opposing sides all all wanting different things it really is a nightmare for trap to some would say the country and the e.u. thanks so much lawrence the. us president looks set for another showdown with democrats over government funding trump's twenty twenty budget proposal slashing spending by five percent across almost all departments except defense which would
10:28 pm
get a boost is also seeking eight point six billion dollars from congress to fulfill its campaign promise of yes building a wall on the u.s. mexican border. joins us live from washington d.c. so kimberly as i try to think this one through our way heading towards is one word just keeps coming up shut down is that what we're looking at. no not in the short term because the century what this is is a wish list congress is the one that controls the budget and this is a process that's going to play out over time given the fact that we just saw the twenty nineteen budget passed but certainly we did also see a historic government shutdown just prior to that what this essentially does as you pointed out it lays out the white house's priorities the president wants to spend money on the opiate addiction crisis here in the united states he was spending cuts
10:29 pm
he wants to try and balance a budget in the next fifteen years something that we should point out in terms of the deficit has grown another two trillion dollars underneath this president. given the fact that this is something that republicans always say you know they're fighting in terms of the growing government deficit this is notable but overall what this is centrally is the president just laying out his wish list of his spending priorities. the reality of any of this being accomplished it really comes down to whether or not congress is willing to support it and as you pointed out in a divided congress certainly there's going to be pushback on the request for more border wall funding. no we've already heard the house of representatives not. ration over an emergency take us through what happens next. well with regard to the declaration for a national emergency donald trump has so far done that security eight point one
10:30 pm
billion in funding but we've seen the house of representatives vote overwhelmingly to block that and now it goes to the republican controlled senate but it looks like there are enough votes to defeat it there as well so in terms of what happens to that funding it would come down to the president then vetoing lef legislation so it appears he has the means to keep that funding in place whether or not though he can acquire this additional funding is really a big question mark in fact many people feel that it's unlikely given the fact that the u.s. congress in terms of the democrats who control the house of representatives have already said they'll push back on that what we're centrally seeing in all this sammy is posturing for the twenty twenty presidential campaign we say the white house is laying out its priorities it's not just its budget priorities it's the priorities of the campaign as the president campaigns to the american people for reelection. so moche. the u.s.
10:31 pm
