and it is ministration that so far remain secret reports say trump is determined he will not be the 3rd president in u.s. history to be impeached and whatever the short term political consequences the opening of the inquiry doesn't mean trump will eventually be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors she ever turns the al-jazeera washington checking stand worked as a senior adviser and 2016 presidential campaign and he says launching an impeachment inquiry is unlikely to yield any results. this is politics everybody knows that the democrats have been trying to get some sort of traction because the economy's going great we're at pace americans are feeling optimistic wages are unemployment is at historic low and the democrats are trying to get traction they've been trying this all year long if they really felt that they could have an impact they should have kept their mouths shut they should have not been talking about russia russia russia they should not have been talking about stormy daniels and michael have jani and
4:01 pm
here we are just one more ploy in their book and by the way we all know this isn't going to go anywhere in the senate if nancy pelosi was really worried she would say before we move let's look at the evidence let's try to get some republicans on board if we can get republicans on board based on evidence maybe this thing had a real chance but the fact is this is just like the russian probe it's political it's and it's trying to turn over the 2016 election which the democrats tried to do even before trump was sworn into office. members of britain's parliaments are on their way back to work 24 hours off to supreme court judges ruled the prime minister's decision to send them home was unlawful boris johnson's flying back from the united nations general assembly new york to face calls for his resignation opposition m.p.'s were inferior to that he suspended parliament for 5 weeks before the bracks it deadline and tobar for
4:02 pm
a child and now joins us live from outside of parliament and london so rory what can we expect in parliament today. yes in just over an hour and a half the politicians will be back sitting in the the famous building behind me can already see that the campaign as flags have returned again to the green here and what we will get from parliament next is not really given away by the order sheets for the house of commons for the day which just says that there will be urgent questions and ministerial statements but you can bet that this will be an absolutely tolerates session of parliament today. what the supremes court did yesterday was rule that boris johnson had acted on the rule fully in sending all the m.p.'s away for the suspension that he had in effect misled them on it now in
4:03 pm
normal political times you would expect the prime minister to resign over over such a decision but boris johnson hasn't done that at least nor yet in normal political times you might expect. opposition m.p.'s here to use the weakness of this government's use the fact that it is just been. unanimously by the supreme court for acting on lawfully and push as quickly as possible for a vote of no confidence botts every indication is that they will not do so now jeremy corbett and who is the leader of the opposition labor party has said that the priority of the opposition is to hold boris johnson to account to basically push him to abide by the legislation that was passed just before the parliamentarians went on their on the prohibition suspension. that basically demands that he either gets a deal with the european union before the 31st of october and if he can't do that
4:04 pm
he has to apply to them for an extension only once that has been settles the opposition says will they push for a vote of no confidence or an election so essentially their tactic is to hold him offstage in 10 downing street until they've got what they need out of him then they will pull the trigger boris johnson of course is going to do everything he can to try to wiggle out of that trap. and given the surf stunning indictment from the supreme court judges and their reaction a lot of anger there in parliament is there any sense of remorse from the governments are any of them agreeing that they've actually done something wrong. no no absolutely not yet what's the position of the government is we had this in boris johnson when he spoke just after the verdict yesterday and we've heard it from allies like michael gove today is that they think the decision of the supreme court was wrong the way we can see this being framed by the government is
4:05 pm
essentially vats the judiciary is part of the problem that it is part of this kind of elite conspiracy against the will of the people and it is the boris johnson government that is standing up for the will of the people the people voted for bracks if he's going to deliver bracks it and the supreme court says together with parliaments accept or in trying to get in the way of that that's a message that is also being unprovided think in certain parts of the right wing press and that will be the message that is going towards any election but it's interesting i think that we have figures like nigel farage the leader of the brics r.t. and arch grex it's here who is saying now although we did say before that prohibition was perfectly normal he's now saying that was a massive mistake from boris johnson because it gives the momentum to those who don't want greater to happen for a challenge at westminster as parliamentarians start returning to work thank you

4:18 pm
a view also held by international air companies and plane manufacturers as well the u.s. plane manufacturer boeing the says that it's expecting china's wealthy middle class to double in size within the next decade and at the end of that decade boeing says that one in 5 of international passengers is going to be chinese now that means there's a lot of opportunity for aircraft manufacturers and airlines around the world in chinese markets and they're very keen to be part of that but of course the u.s. companies are facing difficulties because china and the u.s. are in the middle of a trade war talks and that trade war are expected to happen around october 10th or 11th but at the same time china is also telling its own airlines to start buying domestically manufactured aircraft china's 3 main airlines have already placed significant orders for short haul aircraft which have been manufactured here in
4:19 pm
china there is one larger aircraft that seats about $160.00 people which is currently being certified and that too is an indication that china's plane manufacturers are also planning to take on the international market as well this airport is a key project for president xi jinping particularly ahead of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china but it's also an indication by china that it intends to expand its air market but also wants to become a global player on the international air travel stage. a populous city stunned that's how lawyers are describing boeing's offer of compensation to the relatives of passengers killed in 2 plane crashes each claimant has been offered $140000.34 passengers and crew died in the 737 lacs disasters in indonesia and ethiopia reports these georgian one life was

aircraft in both crashes were blowing 737 max regulators around the world since grounded it. airlines often face lifts a geisha an off the air disasters manufacturers often try and blame the pilots and the airlines often try and blame the manufacturers for a technical fault following the european airlines crash the 2nd of 2 similar accidents lawyers representing the families of those on board say they have a strong precedented case against boeing boeing did wrong on hussein's representing 12 families including asters there among many more who filed suit against boeing in the u.s. in the 20 years i've been working on airline litigation cases i've never seen a case like this and in this particular case it's clear that boeing put profit over safety and decided to ignore all of the red flags all of the warnings that were occurring that it had and continued to market sell and deliver this dangerous
4:22 pm
product. boeing says it supporting investigations but doesn't comment on the lawsuit is the world's largest aircraft manufacturer and one of america's largest companies industry experts say it's likely to pay dearly but it will survive for boeing of course being on the receiving end of legal action from the families is just part of a wider picture of a lot of legal action that is either being taken or set to be taken by the industry including by leasing companies who operate these acts and while this will be a very significant hit in the aircraft manufacturers lifetime the aircraft will go on to fly investigations and court cases are expected to last months victims' families say they want to see boeing held to account as to knows it won't bring george back but she says the planes need to be made safe so nobody else suffers the same fate malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya. and now
