larrys between the lion air crash in indonesia in october and the ethiopian airlines disaster a total of three hundred forty six people were killed in the two crashes as a result of new data that we received this morning and jack had the chance to analyze in on the advice of my experts and as a precautionary measure i'm issuing a safety notice boeing issued a statement saying that out of an abundance of caution it had recommended to the us federal aviation administration the temporary suspension of operations of the entire global fleet of seven three seven max aircraft the flight data recorders retrieved from the ethiopian airlines crash will be processed in france that's an unusual departure from the normal protocol in an accident involving a plane that was built in the united states ethiopian officials reportedly declined to hand over the black boxes for u.s.

authorities robert oulds al jazeera yeah. by now he has been to max king's e.j. and his executive director of content at flight level and he's joining us from the london times very much indeed for talking to special what do you make of the fact that these aren't his ascent the black boxes to founds rather than to the united states where the plane is made. well it's an interesting move oversee arguably that the french are neutral in this of course they were their bosses. it might be something to do with the previous accident back in two thousand and ten which happened to coming out of beirut on that one legged needs inquiry it was disputed. so i guess given. obviously the americans took it to the airplane and the europeans were improving your plane having an independent body look at it would actually. give the most neutral view on without you or should your

argument perhaps right ok now what will the effect be of grounding this entire fleet globally of seven three seven max jets it's the company's biggest seller there are companies like we've just seen in the united states are there that are. manned if you like by exclusively by this model of jet not to mention others around the world what's it going to do to the global aviation industry. well it's not going to have a massive impact initially because three hundred seventy one airplanes flying at the time of the accident is tied and you know we're talking about you know thousands and thousands of sure there are planes flying globally so the short term would be relatively light some people be more affected than others and there will probably some sublease is a much you flight cancellations but as i noticed the quote from it was from trump was that we grounded until further notice so at the moment the exit strategy from

the situations are clear was in the investigation and the progress about race the decisions around but we wait and see really what happens over the next few days and weeks right ok well boeing must be feeling somewhat on the defensive we got no we didn't air which is. has a has a load of max eight jets in it stables if you like it's the largest fleet of them outside of the united states and they're saying that they're likely to seek compensation from boeing yes i mean obviously that's what everyone will be doing because they're going to have to pay to bring in a cross they didn't expect to there may be older planes that they were going to phase out when you were close to roy who have to be kept on operating higher costs so everyone's going to be going off the lot of boeing and its legal team to get some compensation i think what's going to also be interesting to watch is how the boeing production process copes with all this because they were pumping out fifty

or their planes a month not all of them maxes but. year old seven three seven a lot of the big macs is and they run out of room pretty quickly and where they do these they're probably accomplish them out so they have to think about if this does the lingo this rushing around and they haven't said what about the four and a half thousand jets or their parent leon order. well you know at the moment. this will stay where they are. the last all of it was not long before the accident big deal with the ship four hundred aircraft so people have been buying your plane reference in recent times. you know it's really early days it's very hard to call it would be a brave person. is it was out of the page but we really have to see what findings from. investigation and the ongoing investigations beneath what the results of that what the recommended recommendations on the aircraft's design and. of course it's

all right max things e.j. and thank you very much for talking to us. let's go back now to another major story is that of what's been going on that human rights commission of the united nations in geneva and the unexpected announcement by the saudi delegation that they have convicted the people they say were responsible for jamal khashoggi then go live to our correspondent who's there in geneva neve barker and neve we've already heard a response from the turkish government. challenging the saudi authorities to name the people who they claim have been through the judicial process for this murder. yes well given that we have absolutely no details at all about who these individuals are when these three hearings have taken place ngo's are

saying well what we're hearing doesn't have much credibility a tall of the saudi chair spoke for only about twenty minutes but in that twenty minutes he raised a whole raft of new questions about what happened to g. and what's happened since he said the perpetrators have been brought to justice as mentioned there were three hearings that there that their legal team was about able to attend these hearings that n.g.o.s observers were also present to although we haven't yet been able to verify that of tall no n.g.o.s so far come out and said yes they were present at these hearings the saudis are also very very adamant that they do not want to see any internationalization of this case whatsoever there is of course a u.s. led investigation into the death of jamal khashoggi but the saudis are saying that it's an internal matter they will do things their way and this of course comes at

a time when the saudis are on the back foot one would imagine given the the tenor of criticism against the kingdom and its attitude to human rights it is not just the affair is it that is really placing the kingdom in the spotlight. i know it's an absolute catalog of criticism to come has been coming from various different angles and sides from within the human rights council at the start of of this session last week thirty six different countries including all twenty eight e.u. members table to none precedented joint statement condemning what the signatories so that's document say are a whole raft of human rights abuses by the saudis particularly when it comes to the detaining of civil rights activists particularly women activists there are ten women on trial at the moment and in saudi arabia the ngos are saying that they have

been subject to all manner of torture and sexual abuse at least one prominent activist among the number that have been arrested was somebody who was in heavily involved in campaigning to allow women to drive she was arrested a month before it then became illegal women to have driving licenses so the message here among many members of the human rights council is that saudi really needs to up its game and improve the situation but it comes to human rights in the country for many here the view is that for far too long saudi has been able to evade scrutiny and now it's the role of the international community to hold saudi to account need to live in geneva thank you. now the president of the european council donald tosk has said that he will appeal to the twenty seven nations to be open for a long extension to the breck sit process meanwhile the u.k.

parliament is set to vote later today that serves say on whether to ask the e.u. for an extension to that march twenty nine deadline on wednesday m.p.'s rejected the prospect of leaving the european union without any agreement so after they voted down trees a maze withdrawal agreement again for the second time. right we've got two of our correspondents on this today we've got natasha about there who's in paris she'll be giving us a little bit more about what they're thinking about the whole breck's in model in paris but there's a whole in london who's at the heart of it all and and jonah so donald tusk has come in with some comments which could be seen as perhaps helpful or not he's actually made the suggestion that britain needn't leave the e.u. or be prepared to leave the door must it really does it could actually be a good deal after that.

yes i mean certainly a timely intervention from the president of the european council donald tusk presumably a coincidental one given the e.u.'s repeated insistence that it won't do anything or say anything to interfere in what is an internal process in the united kingdom but those comments certainly giving a nudge of credibility if you like to the threat issued by to resume a two m.p.'s on wednesday night some call it a warning other people call it blackmail what she said of course ahead of tonight's the savings vote about whether to ask for an extension what she said was if you don't vote for my deal at a third time of asking next week well then the only extension you're going to get from the european union is a very lengthy one because they're not going to give a short term extension if they haven't got clear evidence of what that timing is for therefore if not to ratify and put through the processes of her deal then the only thing that will be on offer is this very lengthy extension that would take in

crucially european parliament elections in the summer that would mean britain would have to participate in those elections and that would well all but spell the end of brakes if and the calculation here is that she's hoping enough in these a fearful enough of that prospect that they will find a way to climb down from their position their opposition to her deal and find a way next week to vote for it and earlier in the day there was some suggestion that that pivotal group that tiny group of the. irish and they were actually considering reconsidering head deal and there was a suggestion that the d.a.p. could back it and what's the situation now how do the math look now. well i mean we've not heard anything definitive for me the greek suggesting one way or another that that is how they will move merely reports that both groups are

consulting lawyer. consulting in particular the legal advice given by the attorney general geoffrey cox earlier in the week looking for loopholes in that advice to see whether there is any loophole through which they can climb and one in particular that they are looking at said to be use in the vienna convention on international treaties that would seem to suggest that if britain can show bad faith can show that the e.u. at some point in the future is not doing what it is promised to do to get out of the backstop that contentious northern ireland backs up with and they would be able to go to an international tribunal the arbitration panel that has been settled upon and get out of this arrangement unilaterally i mean if that legal advice can be seen to be enough for the p. the democratic unionist they make my come on board and the suggestion is among the hard brick cities in parliament that if the do you feel happy then a significant number of them will be happy to thank you very much for that jenny

hall our correspondent there at westminster nicholls will keep you right up to date with that vote when it happens there but now let's get to paris natasha about there is our correspondent there in the tasa we've been hearing quite tough uncompromising lines coming from brussels with regard to britain and leaving the european union but. paris of course is part of that axis of power in europe with germany of course how is it being viewed in every way you are in paris. well i think that many politicians and people across the european union and particularly here in front of watching the events of the last few days in the u.k. parliament with a mixture of they will demand and frustration we heard from the european commission on wednesday night saying ok welcomes the fact that u.k. parliamentarians said no to a no deal this is not what needs to happen next is that some sort of deal needs to be agreed upon and that's the real crux of the problem what happens next what does

the u.k. want well with me to try and work out some of these questions will some of these offices here or you do more he is an m.p. with president micros ruling party you represent the callon region mr do more it's a region of course which is just over the english channel sea from britain what sort of impact to people preparing for there from bragg's it in how is all this uncertainty over breaks affecting them well we had to create new areas to when it comes to the systems. the truck drivers trucks to to control. all of things that were in trucks so we are just expecting an answer from british colleagues to know if there is a break sits when with what kind of books it will be will be a. deal agreement breaks it's no deal it works it's the fact is we don't understand

anything right now crews because they say that where we don't want this kind of deal that was negotiated between. there is i'm a. european commission but so you are so we have to deal but there would be no signal further falls do you some table so it's highs or is a accept it or they deny it if they denied it they need to face the truth and the reality of it is there would be no second do so we need to face and to focus on a new scenario in my constituency in italy. so it means that the trouble of queues of trucks stuck on the highways as we have right now because there was a strike of. orders and customs officers illegally on the runkle is where we need to be prepared and that's what we're trying to do no work there or the obviously very tricky for your region with so many ports including calories you mentioned but we're also looking at a story where one possibility is treason a the british prime minister could end up asking the european union for an extension

a president might call his being quite vocal about what he thinks about that what it what is france's position but for this position and that is we need to do everything to secure a deal because the new snow is the worst case you know you and no one wants its eyes or friendship but police officers are reserved french entrepreneurs but are so british of their printers and british british they said that just in parliaments so we would do anything that we need to do to secure a deal but there is i mean needs to face a true friend or majority needs to face the truth or so there would be no new negotiation and if there is a new deal to to have the brics it may be to do weeks or months that's when between english it's a new deal that will be for her to convince a majority and maybe some part of it of her position to vote for the last deal we negotiated between the british and the european commission all right thank you very

much indeed for talking to us m.p. with the president because ruling party that. is happening back not just of those in britain but of course just across the english channel say on people across kalai and if of course any extension was to be agreed upon are there are many people in france are very worried because we have the may parliamentary elections coming up and that will just add a third layer of chaos. thank you very much the fact that live paris. right movie now featuring the way with those terrible floods but now we're looking at maybe because a tropical cyclon is on its way well yeah and a very big one as well if not the same one that brought the floods to malawi in the first place it's visible from space on sea by satellite in the last twenty four hours or so as he's wandering over pretty warm water it's grown in size now it's developed tonight and every time these tropical spinach develop in our you know this strong this is called tropical saki which doesn't have much indication of its

strength but it's the equivalent of a category three hurricane thing in the northern hemisphere is a major hurricane now because it's here now but it's first started in malawi's course has been quite a torturous one especially views a lot of rain has so far in mozambique malawi and also in madagascar but that's where its center has its forecast track takes it on shore within the next six hours still as a category three which means winds approaching two hundred kilometers per hour it's not normally the winds that do a lot of damage in this case with this locals take down trees and any power lines are up on poles but the wave height of eleven meters is significant ways battering a fairly low coast and the storm surge is what you add to the tide the high tide is not far away from this makes landfall as you add two meters to what is actually already a five meter tide so that's a huge wall of water coming on board this is the course that it takes in the next twelve hours or so in land and of course flooding tidal surge will cause

a great deal of damage. rob thank you very much still to come here on the news are more than four decades after bloody sunday prosecutors in northern ireland filed charges against a british soldier. a series of allergies strike the world's biggest social network across all of its platforms and products. and in school with tiger woods is swinging pain free and ready to. ease the war where on line. taught us to be able to be concise in expressing exactly what is happening in the moment and what it needs. or if you joined us on say israel is an apartheid state in the ethnic cleansing of the

morning to announce the group's decision today together with the senior prosecution team i have met with the families of those bereaved and those injured on bloody sunday we have informed them that following careful consideration of all of the available evidence a decision has been taken to prosecute one former soldier soldier af for the murder of james ray and for the murder of william mckinney. let's go live now to our correspondents. there in london barry and sonia only one. announcer prosecutor potential prosecution where they could have been perhaps up to sixteen what are the relatives say many of them disappointed that just one person may face charges. well martin disappointment

would be an understatement many who absolutely devastated at the decision certainly the relatives of the victims who. of which the murders are going to be prosecuted are told a spoken word in fact you could see them leaving the room with crying tears in their eyes and speaking about how justice still hasn't been done because that they really had a lot of hope in don the fact that given the results of the twenty ten savile reports that. the soldiers had acted out of control and had fired on a crowd of civil rights marchers who were fleeing the scene they felt really that this was something that needed to be prosecuted to lay down to rest to really move on from this for many of them here they feel that that has not been done and it's just going to continue the hurt the pain in the fact and the and the feeling that

justice for their relatives has not been done and that it is indeed another sort of whitewash as it were on the results of the savile inquiry and off the legal system here our team and obviously the families of the two people who were killed allegedly by this particular former soldier will be quite pleased what do we know that now about the process because this former soldier who's being charged with murder. is presumably and his late sixty's and seventy's. well yes but this is just relating to murders that of jim rate was twenty two at the time and also william mckinney who is twenty seven at the time as well and also of course the singer for attempted murders that he's facing charges for but still

it sort of underlines about the fact that there is a lot of anger at the fact that so much time has been wasted and really what ought to have happened for there to have been sufficient evidence to prosecute all seventeen is that evidence should have been collected there should have been a proper what the relatives say this should they feel a or to have been more thorough approach to collecting evidence after this they don't feel that they can trust exactly what happened after that of course they see the. report that was started immediately afterwards to have been a white wash with that as well that's hence the need for the savile inquiry later on but yes so once again they feel that it's sort of the clock has been run down on this so much time has been has has passed since that and as a result it is extremely difficult now to get all the other evidence for examples on ballistics or whatever the other evidence that that would be present on the site in order to make this a strong case for them to get prosecutions all right tanya thank you very much. for

now thank you very much reporting live there from london dairy which is also known as a very. now the ruling party in guinea bissau is celebrating after provisional election results indicated it had won the biggest share of the vote about the election commission says the p a i g c doesn't have an overall majority so it'll have to look for coalition partners it. has more. a jubilant crowd on the streets of the south initial results from the parliamentary elections have put the ruling african party for the independence of guinea and capered in the lead after years of political crisis the party supporters hope the state's ability to function will finally be restored. important then why i'm so happy for the result is that is why i'm here i'm sure the political crisis in our country is over now with a victory of p.a. i-g.

see we expect schools and health thing to improve very soon. i may get these ill gotten them to the mass the political dialogue is over a problem is over the ruling party group bring developments in this country. but the dancing in the streets is a thin veil for underlying tensions according to the national election commission the party has failed to secure an overall majority it will have to share power with smaller parties to gain enough seats in parliament to get them in what would be so it is clear that the people of guinea be said to have not given any party the confidence to govern alone. since twenty fifteen three most powerful entities government parliament and president have blocked each other bringing the country to a political standstill observers are hopeful that the deadlock can come to an end now that we have a new parliament what we are hoping is that the u.n.
