1:32 am
and it went down off the coast of indonesia what happened was that the aircraft behaved very strange for the pilot and he was trying to master this in my view he was more than average pilot and he's mastering all of the attack which we later learned was him comes. in cas is a system that boeing put on the macs to counter extreme situations that could occur due to the new larger engines. in both the indonesian an ethiopian flights the system kicked in when it shouldn't have. he didn't know about the fact that there was a system which was actually meant to never be activated it's a system which is basically there to help you it is a very grave it emergency at this was triggering and he mastered that unfortunately and he handed over to his 1st officer to try to understand what's was happening and he told him what to do the 1st officer wasn't prepared to the aggressiveness of the system they were fighting. the pilots on the indonesian flight m cast more than 20
1:33 am
times before the plane went down 12 minutes after takeoff. in cas kicked in 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 an indonesian 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 one asking the question how could you have designed a single point of failure and they 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
1:34 am
investigators the ethiopian airlines pilots followed 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 the emerging to check at least it wasn't enough it should have mentioned things that call it the if you'll be in crew out later. 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 conditions big difference from the very well you may want to take an umbrella today looks like it could rain 2 there is
1:35 am
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 temperature 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 airplane soon enough they would go to an airbus solution to their mortgage. so commence pressure on during the airplane to market as soon as possible he says there was a pressure to keep the plane to the same regulatory requirements of the previous
1:36 am
737 model. when you build an airplane raced off of another reporting differences to additional training on the 737 minutes there was quantum pressure to. do anything from a cost perspective change costs money in. the business. 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 there was that all worked at boeing for 3 decades until 2014 and then worked at the union that represents boeing engineers before retiring the summer. he didn't work on the macs but says that during his time at boeing changes that the corporate level led to shifts in the company safety culture boeing is looking to cut costs on both the top and the bottom of the of the problem
1:37 am
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 the number one concern for their upper management is return on investment 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 in cash 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
1:38 am
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 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 the 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
1:39 am
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.
1:40 am
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 his office on the question. they've taken it as we've said for over a decade way too far too fast for michael perlman the president of the union that represents f a's 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 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. as people and you have a management that want to go back in history right now industry is driving the
1:41 am
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
1:42 am
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
1:43 am
that and we certified mr owen with al-jazeera once we're investigating this. why didn't the f.a.a. catch the problems with 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 'd from within those groups it failed what's the measure on that judgment. has 2 crashes it's that simple the system failed it failed our passengers it failed glow.
1:44 am
the f.a.a. is currently testing fixes but when this proposed to the plane. it's not clear when the 737 max would 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's the best mom you ever see. of her kid we're about. oh you. know that's what scares me the most. when of course i know how she used to care
1:45 am
for her child and. well i beat up father you know for him. well they will to do both things like a man and. it's not going to make any difference whether i am angry or mad or said nobody cares about. but this one is you know 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 again this boy. f.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.
1:46 am
strangers from across new york with a claim in common abuse at the hands of a prominent priest and a shot of rows back and down to grab all 3 handles that stuff he just so desire it's full kline's gains exclusive access to the accusers and questions the accused how long do you think arnold on will contain and protect you as more men come out in the latest chapter in a scandal that shaken the catholic church to its foundations in bad faith on it. in this life the most incredible stories are often true. and cheering go on experiences. makes the unfamiliar for me. in this life no versity makes a difference understanding the importance of being part of something much greater there are so in this life what i want to use is freedom of expression.
1:47 am
the right to morrow. sean and a lot into the dog. because you dislike the design and to understand the. nature of. and the human condition is soon in virtually. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories join the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media when the entire service is control much of egyptian media it becomes an extension of the arm of the president and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most getting an accurate informative story out of there is not easy they pose it too late we already have the information they're listening post on al-jazeera. an act of youthful defiance and we've read your turn
1:48 am
next of they're also out in the school war they arrested me at home at 4 in the morning electric shock treatment was the worse that triggered a revolution. the arrest of those children sparked it all of which became a battle without and that was the beginning of the armed struggle in syria. the boy who started the syrian war on al jazeera. lol eyes to the right 322 the news to the left 306. another road block for bricks it's after m.p.'s vote for an amendment that could delay of deal with the e.u. and boris johnson says he won't let that happen. hundreds of thousands make their voices heard outside parliament demanding
1:49 am
a 2nd referendum on any deals. will come on peter wu watching on to 0 live from doha also coming up just as 11 on out in force from day to demand political change and cuts to the cost of living. a state of emergency has been declared in the chilean capital after ryan says attacked subway stations because of rising ticket prices. british m.p.'s have told the prime minister boris johnson to delay bricks it again m.p.'s held their 1st emergency saturday session for 37 years they didn't vote yes or no for the government's new breaks it deal with the european union instead they did vote to approve an amendment to it it means boris johnson must seek
1:50 am
a further delay from the e.u. something he says he will not do mr johnson says he plans to hold more votes next week. i continued in the very strong belief that the best thing for the u.k. and for the whole of europe is for us to leave with this new deal of truth. trying to separate the questions that are coming from the adventures of that i will not negotiate a dilemma with the e.u. . neither does the law compel me to do so i will tell our friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as prime minister but then they would be bad for this country. and for democracy. in a moment we'll speak to 19 barber in brussels tory action out of the e.u. 1st let's go to andrew symonds in westminster so andrew we suspect he's probably
1:51 am
taking legal advice as to whether he has to go for this extension or not but even if he sort of gets over that hurdle one way or the other does he have enough time between now and halloween to get what he wants and to put this process through this this new light of transparency that the house of commons voted for a little earlier today. that's the key question peter you just asked and the answer to it is boris johnson and downing street think there might be time we're getting a clearer picture now on their strategy that yes he is saying he won't negotiate with the european union however he has asked to send that letter to request formally an extension in the meantime what the government is trying to do is to get a clear cut vote in the house they were on the cusp of actually winning they think this had they not have the let win amendment ahead of the votes they think they
1:52 am
could have just scraped through with an agreement for the agreement in principle to actually go through with it and then go through the legislation sturgeon's what they want to avoid and this will be a lot of this will be down to john bercow the speaker of the house jus to leave on october 31st once again the focus is on him he will make a ruling on monday as to whether or not this motion can go through or whether the legislation has to come 1st if it goes through legislation then it's a mess for boris johnson there's bound to be lots of amendments moves towards pushing it in a different direction and it will become very long gated and yes there will have to be an extension possibly right the way through to january 20 twentieth's so a 3 month extension however that feeling in downing street is that the european union leadership know what boris johnson is thinking what he's trying to do it was
1:53 am
discussed at length last thursday when the deal was done but he wanted to get it through in the deadline there is some wiggle room there before the e.u. come down saying yes we're extending we're putting article 50 through all the rest of it so basically this is a strategy they're trying to follow rightly or wrongly that's what boris johnson is trying to do. and lou thanks very much let's bring in my colleague who's in brussels so i mean just to be clear mr johnson doesn't negotiate an extension if it comes to it he asks for an extension might his betting be that the european commission would say yes if he'll turn it in it's a hard crash out at the end of this month. here all the smart money is on the european union saying yes to an extension if there is
1:54 am
a request for one but there were noises at the end of the the summit here which went on on thursday and friday from the likes of emmanuel mccall the french president that he didn't want to see an extension from. the head of the european commission saying he didn't see the need for any prolongation but behind the scenes chancellor merkel of germany was telling her counterparts that it would be inevitable that they would grant an extension if in fact they were facing the prospect of a no deal bricks it now just in the last couple of hours we've heard from khiva that he's the head of the european parliament's breck's it steering committee he said that. the his committee would consider the outcome of the vote and that amendment but he says that whatever happens next to the march is outside parliament in westminster shows just how important a close e.u. u.k. future relationship is so they're very aware that there's a lot of division in britain but they're also aware that in fact they their
1:55 am
interests of their member state are islands will be damaged by no deal breaks it so behind the scenes there are senior e.u. officials briefing the british press right now that if asked for an extension then when it comes down to it that will be granted in the meantime we've got the european parliament the m.e.p. is not really meeting until november the 14th and best. saying that they won't vote on the deal until in fact it's passed by the westminster parliament so vacs of the next possible deadline we don't know of course what's going to happen in terms of when there will be an actual vote again as we were just hearing from and you've got all the noises from here and from around the european union that are that's it if it comes down to it's yes they will grant an extension but they're not going to start talking about that until the matter arises what they really want to happen is
1:56 am
for this deal to get passed by the british parliament but obviously that's proving extremely tricky 19 thank you ok let's wrap up some of the sob stories for you lebanon's government says is agreed on a new budget that cancels a series of taxes and fees that spawn days of protest hundreds have gathered for a 3rd day in the lebanese capital beirut amman demonstrates according to these 2 people have been killed in demonstrations pushing for political change and reforms to reduce the cost of living well the leader of hezbollah says he doesn't want the government to resign when our k.l. our own act we have more options there are choices that we can take and proposals ideas that we discussed before in the cabinet and we need to make it clear it's wrong to say that the government has no other choice than imposing taxes if we call parade give priority to take anomic state will be able to save our country we don't
1:57 am
want the government to resign if it does it will take one or 2 years to form a new government and the economic crisis will worsen any will be made up of the same political forces. live to beirut correspondent stephanie. protests continuing to grow. her i think the main question. really passionate when you hear now stephanie i know i can hear you peter is great. basically it's the largest number of protesters that have come out onto the streets to take at night side down from the seat of government. and any time which is interesting today because of course mr heavy handed response yesterday after the army tear gas and water cut for us the protesters what's happening today is a little different if anyone seems to show something towards the security forces
1:58 am
that everyone starts to sit down identify that they are still part of what they're calling a room and a mix of people very very tough to try and make sure that he's. getting the job. the rounds which are a lot happening on motorbikes cars and of course a shot of a nice feature there's a party atmosphere here these are a bunch of droppers that have shown up in this spot that maybe. she was such a good number of people we are tearing down the stretch down to marches where through other neighborhoods have begun to think there's other areas in the north or south that we're keeping them out to protest to to get out. of the political leadership and it's really that they have a dynasty. cast they want to prove nothing on
1:59 am
protecting those that are in such a great guy and it would like to spread peace when it comes to how those people that their lives how the way they should the people. well 1st of all the story about money it's about stand in the door to the change it's about people having. to get all the questions what are they good neighbor she can't speak the things it's crushing. my life and you know someone should think that you're more danger to self. righteous prime minister the way you put it well. i think what they're going to be there not to send people. commenting on how are they operating is that thanks very much. still to come here on al-jazeera i think. we get the latest live from barcelona and hear what a council and leader thinks the answer is there and he's been
2:00 am
a hero for the pol pot bolivia's longest serving president is facing his toughest reelection fight yet. how i think the season feels like he started to change in the satellite point of view there's more clout in iran iraq syria and a close turkey they want to talk stuff just in the northwest of iraq or in northern syria and that produces a shower or 2 no it's not cold yet 28 in the lap or 28 in beirut 35 in baghdad just as hot as it was particularly in iraq which is where the daily heat doesn't get talked of quite as much now the drake lived suggests a few showers but nothing too severe turkey's more light to get them and again it comes on to the coast are syria otherwise is to sunny for the most part not.
