7:04 pm
about the problem centers on a navigational system some people believe that the plane's sensor made it believe that the plane was tipping upward when actually it was going in a straight direction in correcting for that there is some thought that the plane might have then been forced to tilt down this is not at all confirmed in van is what investigators are looking at but meanwhile u.s. aviation officials are about to require boeing to make these software changes also changes in training and manuals but boeing is not anywhere close to saying that it will voluntarily ground these planes in the major u.s. carriers that are flying these planes north american carriers including american airlines southwest airlines canada air they all say that they will continue to fly these planes but a flight attendant union here is very concerned saying that they want to know more that they are flight attendants are concerned about the safety of the crew and then
7:05 pm
of course there are passengers who want to make changes to their flights because they're concerned about the safety of these planes and so far these airlines are not allowing people to make changes for free that's causing a lot of concern when around the world the growing chorus of voices is calling for these planes to be grounded and it's coming closer and closer here to boeing's headquarters in chicago which started out with china a number of other countries indonesia south korea mongolia argentina morocco and to de france germany and ireland added them sell. to that chorus of voices in addition to that about two dozen airlines have also decided to ground the point john hendren thank you very much indeed. talks between the u.s. and taliban negotiators in qatar have ended with progress on some key issues this fifth round of talks began sixteen days ago but sources saying another round of talks is expected soon for more i speak to our diplomatic editor james bays in doha
7:06 pm
james how much progress has there actually being. well i think the first thing to tell you is that they have been very determined in this process not to give very much information that sometimes i think is an indication that progress is going on behind the scenes and the information we're getting from diplomats is yes there has been progress sixteen days they've been going no breakthrough yet but the good thing is no breakdown either it's significant because of the scale of these talks the most important talks that have taken place during eighteen years of war the longest war that the u.s. has fought we know they're talking about all sorts of issues including potentially the withdrawal of the vast majority of u.s. troops ceasefire in afghanistan and a commitment by the taliban to counter terrorism to fight fighting what the u.s.
7:07 pm
does declares terrorist groups for example al qaeda what we believe is happening now is that both sides will return from doha to assess the progress that has met been made that means that zalmai. who is the chief negotiator the special envoy in the u.s. is going to be on his way we hear he's already on his way back to washington d.c. where he's bound i think to brief the u.s. secretary of state who's actually coming to the region in the next week or so on progress brief secretary of state pence possibly brit briefed president trump on progress it is worth noting that this process here in doha is nothing near in the public eye as the one that the place just two weeks ago in hanoi where president trump was personally invested although i think it's fair to say that the fact this hasn't broken down and the hanoi north korea process is certainly hit a bit of
7:08 pm
a bump suggest this one might be making a little bit more progress james best thank you very much. u.k. politicians that will shortly be holding a crucial vote on the terms of britain's departure from the european union it's the second time that prime minister to resign may's withdrawal deal has been put to parliament this year in january she suffered a historic defeat at this time may says she's won legally binding assurances from the e.u. the prevent the u.k. being trapped indefinitely in the so-called backstop arrangement but there's still skepticism from many m.p.'s including u.k.'s attorney general that in legal terms the deal has not changed and barbara reports on a day of heated rhetoric in the british parliament. as she left ten downing street the prime minister was facing another crucial vote in parliament hoping last minute reassurances from the e.u.
7:09 pm
on her withdrawal deal would help across the line tonight members of this house are faced with a very clear choice. and support this deal in which case we leave the european union with a deal then i'll go on to explain why i think it's a good deal all risk no deal or no breaks it the jews they brought a useful clarification for wavering opponents of a you membership in her own conservative party. last night we reached an agreement with the british government on the conditions and consequences of brecht's it and what i said last night was it was a second chance but there won't be a third one so i truly hope the members of the british parliament today back the approach which is simultaneously a british and european one. but to resume a position has been undermined by her top legal advisor the attorney general he says monday night's changes in stride don't alter his legal opinion over the risk of the u.k. being trapped in the back stop the mechanism to prevent a hard border between islands in northern ireland the legal risk as i said he died

in my letter of the thirteenth of november remains. changed the question for the house is whether in the light of these improvements as a political judgment the house should not enter in to those arrangements. soon to hardline euro skeptic a.r.g. group of conservatives headed by jacob riis morgan ounce they could not support the deal making another defeat for tourism a almost certain but just how does the majority in parliament opposed to a no deal breck's it in three weeks time to stop it happening this parliament amendments say what that plan might be histories may come forward with a plan that she's hidden away all these months those are the really difficult questions that come off tonight's difficult question. if the deal is voted down further votes are meant to happen on avoiding a no deal breaks it and extending the article fifty period of negotiations but
7:11 pm
things are up in the air in westminster and in the current climate making predictions can prove unwise the dean barber al-jazeera and iris may joins us live after westminster so the situation is looking so great for treason may. no no no say it's disastrous really i mean i suppose this is just about still a conversation the you can have about the scale of the loss because such success such of the judges that if it is in parliament nowadays that if she only loses by say sixty or seventy there might be an argument to say they'll go for an extension and then when it gets to say towards the end of may then all those people who are now saying today as though goods might concede it changed their mind but the thing is doesn't really look like that it looks like she could still easily lose by upwards of one hundred fifty and the verdicts i think of people watching all this is that it's over for the european commission said last night there's no more after
7:12 pm
this it's the season it's this is just sort of the last chance and looking inside all of them this afternoon she was standing there with a croaky voice the conservative benches well health empty people didn't even turn out for the debates and it does really feel a bit few near real and there's all sorts of questions going around as to if she does lose again by a very big knowledge and the country is basically lost with no particular plan as to where it's going to go is one thing that the conservative machine might consider just basically saying say well look you've got to go and then we've got to think of some other way to go forward from here isn't quite a lot of people think that this this could be the really the end of the road not just for a deal but for her role as prime minister as well in the short term there seeming to his main does news what are the kind of practical steps next what happens next. well we know this is choreography that and then that then the team talks about in that reports they have another vote on wednesday about ruling on their deal and
7:13 pm
then on thursday they also the european union for an extension then the the european union that has to go search a meeting of the european next week do they go for a long extension or schultz extension not clear probably a short one but then you know ultimately the u.k. going to decide either to leave without steel or to renounce bret's it completely or to get with something else that no one even knows and so it's lost really is the words there aren't any thank you very much indeed. still to come on al-jazeera we report from an evacuation center in southern malawi that flooding has killed thirty people in action as to make it two hundred thousand thirty thousand without shelter . and riding high why the political honeymoon isn't day of mexico's president.
