a lot of flights and it is in the absolute but for american just a small percentage of oh it's sixty five hundred or so flights a day also when you're canceling flights this far out american can sort of be tactical about which flights are canceled cancels those were there's not a lot of impact routes where it has a lot of flights per day cancel one or two and still be able to accommodate everybody but you know that's not the case for a lot of airlines around the world american for example has two dozen maxes out of many hundreds of planes air canada just to its north also has two thousand axes but it's only about a quarter size of american that's to speak nothing of airlines that are even smaller also highly seasonal airlines if you think about european tour operators that have to make all their money in the summer and it's kind of all hands on deck the impact on them and their customers even greater so not a huge percentage of global flights but as this goes on it does continue to impact many airlines in creasing ways as that busy northern hemisphere summer approaches

now the boeing c.e.o. has promised that when these grounded planes return to the sky and to quote him he says they will be among the safest planes ever to fly do you think passengers and the general public would feel that way what would it take for them to get that confidence back. i think it will take time look when those planes start flying there are going to be nervous flyers and i think it's true what plane has been more scrutinized then this one right and i personally would get on one using that logic but you can't blame people for being there vis and alternately with everything if this aircraft has been through yet it's just going to take a lot of saved departures in landings over a period of weeks and months for people i think to really gain back that confidence the fixes the poem is working on you seem to address the issues that caused these two crashes but obviously it never should have gotten to this point so you can see that boeing does have somewhat of a credibility crisis u.s. regulators the f.a.a.

by some of being late to ground the plane to it's just going to take them some time and doing everything they can to restore faith as we now have time to look back and contemplate on what's happened do you think there is a serious issue with regulation probably are american corporate governance to allow two planes or the lack of investigation when the first plane went down and then allow the boeing plane to crash given the issues now that we're seeing has to do with boeing. well what's in this beautiful is that something went wrong with the process right of these two crashes of an aircraft type that makes up a tiny percentage of all the aircraft in the world less than one percent a new aircraft type that should have been the safe as that were obviously something went badly wrong with the process the question is why did it you know was the f.a.a. the american regulator just under resourced and just sort of relying too much on

boeing because that because the best engineers are in many cases at boeing i mean just as they compete for the same talent pool or was it something more than that was boeing sort of lobbying to to have things be that way those are the questions that are still being answered but with every aviation disaster there always are lessons learned and things change the last sort of entry into service as you call it with aircraft crisis that boeing had was with the dreamliner oh about a half decade ago nobody died there but a whole series of problems and things did change in that case at boeing obviously in this case with a loss of life even greater pressure and i think you'll see changes that boeing and the way regulators approach boeing said kaplan great to speak to great to get your insight thank you very much likewise. i wanted to have been marking twenty five years since the genocide that saw eight

hundred thousand people killed in just one hundred days thousands attended a vigil at the national stadium in the capital kigali at the beginning of the official hundred days of mourning under simmons was there. it's a flame that will burn for a hundred days the time it took to kill hundreds of thousands of people but for many of the bereaved and injured shining any light on rwanda's darkness is as hard now as it was twenty five years ago the large crowds took the remembrance walk from the wonders parliament to its national stadium unspoken thoughts here but the spirit of solidarity earlier the president has addressed the country the are at concord. from the industry is profound hope. law community is beyond repair. and that beginning of the

people is never fully extinguished the prime minister the former colonial power belgium made this apology so as you see. this genocide represents the failure of the international community which couldn't war which couldn't prevent which couldn't stop this crime against humanity i stand before you in the name of a country that also wants to take responsibility for its part in history for some of the survivors the passage of time hasn't helped this man was ten when the genocide happened more than one hundred of his relatives died including his mother and father it seems to go harder for you. it's not easy.

hope is center stage in the process of kuka meaning remembrance in the rwandan language gummi says we must learn to forgive but not to forget well that's hard to see in the eyes of so many genocide survivors what they say is one thing what they really feel doesn't necessarily amount to forgiveness and so paul could ghar me is banking on the younger faces we see in the crowds the new generation he hopes there's more chance of forgiveness with them than the older generation we spoke to two people born in the year of the genocide this man explaining why he always comes to remembrance whenever we come here we learn much and we near vessel we never had so whatever we get here cops i see in terms of you know you can see a showings in terms of feuding i saw under student with

a message to people all over the world you know they have to learn chorus. long winter hard anywhere to enjoy having it to say we are rundowns and we love each other which is not our mind. saw they have to run from my house apart from careful history as a day of emotional exhaustion draws to an end by tradition there's lights in the darkness a vigil going on into the nights more than thirty thousand people collectively mourning the past and for some tentatively wearily looking to the future and to simmons' i was to go. thousands of supporters of former brazilian president louise silva have rallied outside his prison a year after he was jailed there insisting he's a victim of political persecution others though are celebrating a crackdown on the political elite and else ryan miller explains.

the way that is hiding but no i am not hiding i will show them that i am not afraid that i am not going to run and they will know that i'm going to prove my innocence they need to know that. the seventy three year old was sentenced to twelve years than earlier this year a further thirteen so. that his legal team continues to fight for his release on legal and technical grounds his left wing workers' party on political grounds the united nations human rights committee is looking at his case. but the political mood in brazil has changed president jaya balsa noddle who swept to office on promises to fight corruption said he hopes his predecessor rots in jail. the prosecutor said joe morell who first put behind bars is now the justice minister. many however continue to demonstrate that his release they remember brazil when the economy was healthier when the government was promoting poor indigenous and black
