hello again to the top stories on al-jazeera the world health organization has declared the latest outbreak in africa a public health emergency of international concern that is the highest possible emergency response turkey's deputy consul general has been shot dead in the northern iraqi city of erbil at least one of the person was reportedly killed in the attack which happened in a restaurant with a diplomat was dining. political deal has been signed in sudan between the military council. to months to vision demonstrations. where hundreds of people are gathering for the u.s. president's campaign rally in greenville north carolina donald trump has been tweeting ahead of the event saying he has lots of things to talk about he's also continued his twitter for democratic congresswoman let's take you live to our white

house correspondent kelly how could he was also in greenville i want to people there saying about. the control. yeah well the lines were pretty long for many hours in advance to get into this 8000 seat stadium we know there were about 50000 tickets handed out so that there were many people that had some time to tell us what they thought about the controversy broiled much of the united states in recent days over those tweets where the president essentially told 4 female congresswomen women of color to if they don't like the u.s. system to go backwards leave the united states most serious seem to support the president and his sort of characterize ation of if there is a problem with the american system anyone is welcome to leave they defended them when i asked if they thought these comments were racist most said that they wished that the president had to use. such language but this is nothing in comparison to

the attacks that the us president has endured since election day so not surprisingly not only was there a defense of that from top supporters but also we expect the president to defend his attacks in recent days in fact he's been tweeting about it he's also characterized these women as vicious socialists 2 it seems to be a tactic that donald trump believes will help him win reelection in 2020 and kimberly separately the speed of that effort to impeach the president but that's failed. yeah this is really the 1st test in the house of representatives the lower chamber in the u.s. congress that is controlled by democrats that both seem to have come down with just 95 democrats in support of impeaching the president the major all republicans in the majority of democrats have voted to suspend any attempt to impeach donald trump indefinitely why is that while there is a calculation that. proceedings to impeach the president could essentially help

donald trump win the white house in 2020 their fear is particularly among democrats is that this would make donald trump become a victim that his supporters would rally around him as some sort of martyr that has been targeted by the left repeatedly and they don't want to help donald trump win the white house so it appears that this is a calculated effort on the part of democrats and this is something that now has transpired in the house of representatives so this is the first 2 test and it appears given the fact that this is a vote that they say they want to suspend these efforts indefinitely may not come up again kimberly thank you. relatives of those killed in the crash of ethiopian airlines flight 3 or 2 earlier this year testified on capitol hill on wednesday the crash was the 2nd involving boeing 737 craft in 5 months subsequently it was found that pilots on some regulation has had not been informed of new systems aboard that

could lead to stool the plane's economy grounded she had reports. poor lost his wife 3 children and mother in law what an ethiopian airlines boeing 737 max aircraft crashed in march $157.00 were killed in total i think about their last 6 minutes a lot my wife and my mom in law knew they were going to die they had to somehow confident that you drain during those final moments knowing they were all there last. i wish i was there when time and drudgery was clear in his testimony to congress the overarching reason for the crash was the nature of late capitalism a system which prioritises shareholder value and the executive compensation linked to that stock value over safety boeing should not be allowed to act like an investment company extracting weld to hold any tons at the expense of safety and quality and pointed out that 5 months before his family died

a 737 max crashed in the driver's seat killing $189.00 boeing blamed foreign pilot error and insinuation which and roger suggested was racist even though the company knew it had not informed pilots of major changes to the plane that may have caused the crash and it seemed that boeing thought it was going to get away with it too just 2 months after the 1st crash the company authorized a $20000000000.00 stock buyback increasing shareholder and executive value while it laid off skilled stuff where they were laying off senior engineers and irene contractors some paid less than $10.00 an hour in dispersed locations around the world which is obviously hard to supervise and integrate in developing software for this airplane but after the 2nd 737 max crash boeing couldn't hide anymore it was soon clear that the company had rushed the plane to market to compete with a new fuel efficient competitor and part of its strategy was to minimize the major

changes to the aircraft to speed up certification and assure airlines that costly new training was unnecessary but what the company failed to point out to pilots and some regulators is how crucial a new system that had been installed was a system that relied on just one sensor with a history of malfunctioning to prevent the new engine placement making the echo off the pitch upwards and stall in addition federal aviation agency manages the regulators are reported to have pushed its engineers to speed up the certification process and delegate as much. possible to boeing of so congress has yet to hear from boeing executives but it was announced that may happen off of the committee reviews what was described as quote a troop of internal documents she abrahams the older 0 washington willing to push her rico governor ricardo rosello has vowed to remain in office despite violent protests calling for his resignation thousands of taking to the streets of the capital san juan in recent days the process was fault by leaks controversial text
