fighting. the pilots on the indonesian flight thought and cast more than 20 times before the plane went down 12 minutes after takeoff. in cas kicked it forcing the nose down thinking it was higher than it really was due to faulty data from just one sensor called an angle of attack sensor. a few weeks after the crash in indonesia boeing executives met with the union for american airlines pilots to discuss the software. in this very building boeing came in on november 27th and we question the i've been the one asking the question how could you have designed a single point of failure and it quickly came back with us not the back of his you . and how responsive but we don't even know the system existed how can we be the backup for something that we don't even know exists. after the crash in indonesia but when the f.a.a. issued a directive to 737 pilots around the world to use a known emergency checklist if in cas kicked in when it shouldn't. according to

investigators the ethiopian airlines pilots fumbled that but it still didn't save them. the forces were too bright they were too on balance in the train system that they could then get out of that seat and in my view be a model to check please it wasn't it not it should have mention things that call it the if you'll be in crew update. it's not just the ethiopian airline pilots though since the crash other pilots have replicated the conditions of the ethiopian flight in simulators like this. and some haven't been able to recover the plane using just the checklist. has already been demonstrated by or very own fleet manager pilots that this aircraft impossible to trim and surf like additions big difference from the very well you may want to take an umbrella today looks like it could rain to

there is a tsunami there's a hurricane there's a tornado. multiple investigations have been launched including a criminal probe by the department of justice to figure out what went wrong during the design and testing of the $737.00 max. but a former boeing engineers who worked on the plane says it took place amid immense commercial pressure. can you talk to me about the environment while designing the macs cost pressure and time time pressure was the biggest. he spoke to us on the condition of anonymity due to fear of repercussions from boeing for speaking out or believed we had customers the would be in. for most that if they couldn't get the airport soon enough they would go to an airbus solution to their mortgage. so commence pressure on during the airplane to more group as soon as possible he says there was a pressure to keep the plane to the same regulatory requirements of the previous

737 model. when you build an airplane based off of another reporting differences to additional training on the 737 minutes there was quantum pressure to change anything from a cost perspective change costs money. and the business side drives the culture. what creates the cost of schedule pressures is a constant pursuit of the bottom line by the leaders of the company and the leaders of the company of the board and doers that all worked at boeing for 3 decades until 2014 and then worked at the union that represents boeing engineers before retiring this summer. he didn't work on the macs but says that during his time at boeing changes at the corporate level led to shifts in the company's safety culture boeing is looking to cut costs on both the top and the bottom of the of the problem you've

got to move labor to places where it doesn't cost as much to pay and then they're going to cut their production costs and look for cuts and all their designs to reduce the costs so that number one concern for their upper management is return on a bus when you're a solo. target on return investment because you're your business company. and even have taken safety for granted. details of the max's safety analysis by boeing are still coming out. but some things have emerged in the aftermath of the crashes. boeing safety analysis didn't test for what could happen if impasse was triggered by a broken or faulty sensor. it's also not clear if the company considered the impact of the software triggering more than once. boeing declined an interview with us but in a statement said they're focused on quote working with global regulators on testing

and implementing the software update. but at the end of the day in the system the supposed to ensure our safety in the air the final approval wasn't going . it was the federal aviation administration f.a.a. the government agency responsible for certification of airports we learned their fate never performed its own assessments of the system and in fact that had delegated much of its oversight to the boeing company. this was a complex point ok 900 engines on you don't lot of different things with the software system that wasn't even mentioned in the pilot's manual how did the f.a.a. come to the conclusion that it was appropriate. to certify an anti stall software system the m cas that not only drew data from a sensor that had a history of problems but also that didn't have or does in addition to federal probes since the crashes f.a.a. officials have been called to testify before congressional committees asking if the

agency deferred too much to boeing for the plane safety analysis the f.a.a. welcomes scrutiny that helps make us better as you all know the f.a.a. grounded the u.s. 737 max fleet on march 13th 2019. that decision was based upon crash site findings and satellite data that together indicated some similarities between the ethiopian and indonesian accidents that warranted further investigation of the possibility of a shared car. in recent years congress and the f.a.a. had delegated more safety certification to manufacturers like boeing and outsourcing of sorts in fact last year 96 percent a boeing sort of occasion was delegated to the company. supporters of the system say that private companies know the latest technology better than government workers and that the f.a.a.

isn't staff to do the work themselves the system the delegates authority outside the walls of the f.a.a. is a system that can work. and i've seen it work. and i believe in whether it's executed appropriately is obviously on the question they've taken it as we've said for over a decade we too far too fast for michael pearl and the president of the union that represents a phase spector's agrees that the f.a.a. needs to be staffed better for oversight the point is they have to have enough inspectors to oversee and regulate the industry the industry has the expertise the industry wants to continue to expand that's fine but they have to have enough regulatory ability in the f.a.a. to oversee that that is occurring but the union is also concerned that the industry and the f.a.a. are too close there are people that came from industry that are working in the f.a.a. it's people in the f.a.a. management that want to go back in history right now industry is driving the f.a.a.

. industry also says i want to get this airplane out by this date or i want to get this signed off by this date. one of the questions facing various investigators now is if and how much that pressure impacted the certification of the 737 max is a highly challenging products to make and services to provide so that mistakes get made the question is do you have enough level of backup and that's for obviously what didn't happen i was in the backup either in the decisions i ever made on designs that were were put out there. as investigations continue into the crashes f.a.a. officials now have to account for how the agency's oversight system failed and the certification of the maps we asked the question in the f.a.a. told us the answers to the question did you test the m cas misfire like happened with with lion aaron ethiopia and they asked in the initial certification no we did

not and they went on to say that we didn't because the boeing corporation told us it was so transparent to the pilot that there was no need to test a misfire presentation. and what was even more horrid to hear was the f.a.a. said so we didn't. that's not oversight what were the steps the f.a.a. took in reviewing the m. caste system and the accompanying train. because i've asked it now 3 times and i have it be blunt with you sir with all due respect i haven't got a direct answer we will get that answer freezer well most engaged in this system throughout the process in detail don't worry about boring me we need to understand that because there's a critical component of this i can write can assure you that the system was examined and certified because it was a new system to the max it was and we retained it and we we had the oversight of

that and we certified mr owen with al-jazeera once were investigating this. why didn't the f.a.a. catch the problem of always and caste system i mean i think the body of that hearing just now should answer any of. the f.a.a. declined an interview but in a statement said the agency certification process has quote consistently produce a fair craft decides it's been clear the system failed. that's the 1st step to repairing the system the systems failed the systems boeing the f.a.a. . other oversight areas from within those groups it failed what's the measure on that judgment. he's 2 crashes it's that simple the system failed it failed our passengers it failed glow.

the f.a.a. is currently testing fixes boeing has proposed to the plane. it's not clear when the 737 max be back in the air. and what it would take for passengers to trust it again. the system of regulations and oversight could almost fill. if it weren't for what's at stake. and hundreds of other families would know that too well. who is he like as a mom. she is the best mom you ever see. of her kid we're about. how are you. you know that's what scares me the most. when of course i know how she used to care

for her child and. will i be tough father you know for him. was able to do both things like a mom and. it's not going to make any difference where there are men we are mad or sad nobody cares about. but this one is in a lot like bigger than me what we're talking about it's not about me it's about everybody. we might don't have any power you know again it's boring. f.a.a. or something but as a human being. you know you don't need things like this to happen in all the get away. and here.

thousands of call for lebanon's government to step down as new tax plans prompts some of the biggest protests in years. gun battles and burning roadblocks in mexico as security forces try to capture the son of a notorious drug. and after 7 months the remains of some ethiopian air crash. i finally returned to their families and can. now attacking and the us have reached a deal to halt the offensive in northeast syria it was a grade after u.s. vice president mike pence traveled to takis capital for talks with president. kurdish fighters have been given 5 days to withdraw from our region by attack he wants to enforce that so-called safe zone some call cod begins our coverage from

ankara which president. they came with an ultimatum and left with a deal a cease fire in hours for noise in syria by the u.s. and turkey after hours of talks among curragh the deal how pink touched up relations between the nato allies that have been tested by turkey is a military operation against the wife p.g. turkey seems to suing her despite to root a terrorist organization the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. the turkish side will pause operation peace bring in order to allow for the withdrawal of why p.g. forces from the safe zone. for 120 hours all military operations under operation peace spring will be pause in operation the spring will

be halted entirely on completion of the withdrawal. the agreement promises collection of why p.g. have appends and the disabling of their fortifications and all other fighting positions they will have to withdraw from in a reactor that is 32 kilometers deep expected to eventually become a safe zone that turkey has sowed for months the us is still committed to cooperate with the syrian democratic forces made up mainly of kurdish why peachey even though they're no longer aiding them militarily and the cease fire means it will not impose sanctions on turkey which i'm very happy to report tremendous success with respect to turkey and i want to thank president or was and i want to thank our vice president my parents our secretary of state by capell great job all of the people that we sent over the last 3 days we said today early group this is an

amazing outcome this is an outcome regardless of how the press would like to damp it that this was something that they've been trying to get for 10 years you would lost millions and millions of lives they couldn't get it without a little rough love as i call them. turkey also believes it got what it wanted a safe zone that will be primarily enforced by the turkish army and increased cooperation by the 2 sides in ensuring the deal sticks at this case. we will not stop the operation yet but we will put it on hold because a cease fire can only be agreed between 2 sovereign states. terrorists are the target of our operations so we'll bring it on hold to allow these terrorist organizations to withdraw from the area once they leave the area and completely withdraw then we will stop our operation. socialist said turkey have given no commitments on what will happen to bonnie but pence said there has been no turkish

military action against a town which has been under control of the y.p. chief for some years syrian democratic forces led by the kurdish fighter group y peachey said they would abide by the cease fire if but would not go through out the spy to agreement within turkey and the u.s. it is still unclear exactly how things will unfold on the ground as the u.s. pulls out from syria russia continues to fill the vacuum and the syrian government finds a brokered deal and with the white gaijin with the syrian government and russia there may be many new questions ahead see them because solo al-jazeera. has more from santa your father that's his border with syria. turkey is calling this a win in the words of the foreign minister we got what we wanted and turkey got what it wanted because it conditioned a cease fire to a withdrawal of the kurdish led syrian democratic forces and of course the united

states guaranteeing that turkey can create a safe zone this is what could turkey wanted to do create this zone in order for millions of refugees to return but it's not just that what happened is that these 2 countries nato allies have now restored their alliance a 7 decade old alliance before the arrival of the high level u.s. delegation to ankara relations were at an all time low now we heard the u.s. vice president call turkey an ally describe the relationship strong what this means for turkey is it is has been empowered it gives it a stronger bargaining position when the turkish president meets his russian counterpart in sochi next week russia of course a main power broker in syria russia criticizing turkey's military operation in syria in fact it has deployed its military police along front lines in the north east of the country filling the vacuum following the withdrawal of the u.s. military and basically telling turkey you cannot advance any further what russia

wanted from turkey is pull out a military pull out from northern syria altogether and put in wanted or to go on to reach some sort of a security arrangement with the syrian government security arrangements that will allow the syrian government to return to the border so now erdogan meets certain stronger every time the relationship between turkey and the united states goes sour russia uses this as an advantage but this ceasefire deal if it holds will stop the violence in the short term but it is not a solution in the long term because damascus is making it clear that it now considers a safe zone that turkey will create an occupied territory and. the syrian democratic forces the kurdish as the if they're saying yes we will comply with the cease fire we will withdraw but only from the area between the syrian border towns of. which means that the s.d.f. will can continue to be an enemy of turkey and the front lines around that safe

zone could not be really safe while top democrats in the united states a blasting the trumpet ministration for what they're calling a sham cease fire the u.s. president however is hailing the deal as a quote great day for civilization can be how god has more from dallas where trump has been holding a campaign rally. as president trump spoke here at his rally in dallas texas he touted the cease fire agreement reached with turkey as a tremendous success he believes that because there has been not a single drop of american blood that has been spilled this is a reason to celebrate today i sent vice president pantsuit secretary of state prompt a 0 to lead an american delegation to meet with president her to go out of turkey. they got there today and it did work.

without spilling a drop of american blood not one drop of america. and while most troubling supporters are backing the president withdrawing american troops there were some protesters a small group of kurdish to jasra saying that they feel 2 that the united states has abandoned the kurdish fighters the supported the effort to defeat i soul and worked alongside u.s. soldiers for 5 years there were more than 11000 'd killed and that is a concern of many in the u.s. congress as well in fact some of the top democrats in the house of representatives in the u.s. senate promising bipartisan legislation to put in place new sanctions against turkey there are also some members of the president's own republican party that are warning that this is an agreement that turkey may not abide by there's also the concern about abandoning the kurds mitt romney a former presidential candidate now u.s. senator saying that what we have done that to the kurds will stand as

a blood stain on american history. moving on to other news now and a new tax plans and an ailing economy has brought crowds out across lebanon and some of the biggest protests there and yes thousands gathered outside parliament blocking key roads and lighting fires and extra brian reports. anger and frustration boiling over and lebanon's capital beirut. security forces fired tear gas and lucia cannon on crowds demanding the government resign. but. these protesters say they count taking more that years of economic value have left them struggling to survive. thanks and i said to them ever since i'm sad let me tell you at the end of the day if i stay hidden behind social media and i don't go out into the streets how can i dare ask for my rights where do i start 1st of all i

want to fight corruption i want to ask those in charge why do you have this you are living at this level and i'm running out of bread. the crowd marched on palm and angry over proposed taxes on tobacco and petrol the backlash has already forced the government to scrap plans to charge uses of the messaging service whatsapp all part of next year's budget as politicians look for ways to reduce its mess of date the 3rd highest in the world and secure $11000000000.00 in foreign aid and the share we're staying on the streets we will come out tomorrow and after that we are not here i will watch that we hear of a fuel food breed over everything. that was processed as blocked roads across the country including saddam tripoli and the baker valley. we don't have enough to eat anymore why are you making us pay more while you sit in your positions not caring the people are dying we want our rights we won't leave the

streets before we take our rights that's it. years of political turmoil an influx of syrian refugees and it's crumbling infrastructure i catching up with lebanon's government last month banks rationed foreign currency and a state of economic emergency was declared. with the arm race leaving schools and universities closed on friday the government could now be facing another kind of emergency altogether brian al jazeera. saudi aramco has delayed the planned launch of its initial public offering that oil giant had been expected to announce plans next week to float a one to 2 percent stake on the kingdom's to dell market but the september drone attacks on kieron co oil facilities knocked out half of its crude output sources have told the reuters news agency the company.
