a very young population so in terms of age incredible disconnect then i think also we have to speak in terms of class of social experiences in the horizons that the most of the people of an algerian experience now generally speaking this is not a country that has understood has experienced the worst sort of oppression poverty and so forth that would see in the world but this is even though even the middle class is a very very narrow horizons on on where they might be going in the world they can they can receive their education in some cases an incredibly good education but then after what comes after that what are the possibilities for for career where the possibilities for a family one of the possibilities for you know the basic sorts of things that we need in our lives today and young people here i just don't see those horizons opening up for them and it's been a long long time that these rises have been close you know this this moment that we're in now in many ways dates back to the one nine hundred eighty s.

7:08 am
a dozen of them in countries like china indonesia and mexico to ground their fleet while the investigation is going on now that's not the case here in the united states here the federal aviation administration says that the boeing plane is airworthy and that it's too soon to draw conclusions about what happened it's been working with boeing ever since the last crash the lion air crash that happened in indonesia last october says boeing is expected to make a software update to the plane in the next month that should help with some issues but again insisting that the airline is airworthy and safe now that's not enough for some people here in the united states the airlines have been facing questions from passengers and travelers who are worried about flying on the seven thirty seven mts we've heard from senator dianne feinstein in california who's called for
7:09 am
grounding the fleet temporarily until the cause of the accident is known flight attendants association is one pilots union have also called for further investigation boeing for its part issued a statement saying that their plane is safe and that the software update will only make it safer they have however suffered in the stock market their stocks dropping more than five percent on monday. and if you. have recovered the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder catherine story has more from nairobi. a moment of silence at the united nations environment assembly in nairobi some of the passengers and boat the theo open airlines flight that crashed on sunday but delegates enterprises and other stuff members coming for this meeting this is also a regional u.n. help with several agencies and two u.n. headquarters based here u.n.
7:10 am
workers and affiliates were on the flight some of the u.n. workers were coming for this conference some of these were u.n. workers are actually on the frontline of humanitarian and development work in kenya and in the region so they were coming forward from from from different perspectives but certainly there were certain subject matter experts their language experts etc who were coming here for the conference itself so it's been a setback you know in on all counts but most of those who died were kenyans like benson be room to stoughton and coming back home from vienna where she is pursuing a doctorate and whom they had just spoken to in the morning it is so painful to lose the young guy. who has struggled for the rest of her life. to achieve. a life then illusory. in the blink of an. it is to blame if.

7:12 am
standard seven for seven three seven the software update puts a correction in there and that brings the nose down a little bit so you pile one and vertically stall the airplane normally the software would never be activated and if it was a pilot probably wouldn't even notice that it was being activated i think the software update will probably just make it easier to recognize if this input comes into play and if it does the pilot can easily disconnect the system if it creates problems this puts a lot of pressure on boeing boeing has a lot of orders pending for the europe line if passengers are not comfortable that they're not going to want to ride on airplanes boeing could lose orders airlines could be used as a lose business so it's very important that the problem be resolved and the changes delayed to make the airplane even safer be implemented so that the industry can go
