so that as soon as the f.d.a. approves the vaccine and as you know we're very close to that will be able to distribute at least 100000000 vaccine doses by the end of 2020 and a large number much sooner than that. to say to which left 346 people dead have been blamed on the horrific culmination of failures by the plane make a boeing and the us federal aviation authority the 77 max was grounded off the 2 separate incidents within 6 months but it may soon be flying again as she have a chance of a pool. 346 people died in to boeing 737 max air crashes one in october 2800 the other in 2019 after 18 months of investigation the democratic majority on the house transportation and infrastructure committee concluded they were the horrific culmination of a series of faulty technical assumptions by burns engineers and lack of

transparency on the part of boeing's management and grossly insufficient oversight by the f.a.a. the investigation confirms much of what was already known under pressure from rival airbus boeing rushed the 737 max to market promising greater fuel efficiency in order to achieve that efficiency boeing made major design and software changes with little oversight there were multiple warnings of problems from those actually working on the planes of potentially catastrophic consequences but they were ignored in the rush to sell and deliver planes the customers a main selling point was that there was no need for airlines to undertake costly pilot retraining if they bought this new model of the 737 but as sales went up so did executive compensation even after the 1st crash that killed 189 in the java sea and despite failing to share key information about the changes to the aircraft

boeing executives profited from a 20000000000 dollars stock buyback testifying to the committee in july of 2019 paul in georgia who lost his entire family and the subsequent crash of ethiopian airlines flight 302 said this is where the problem lies buoyancy. not be allowed to act like an investment company extracting world to supercharge shareholder returns at the expense of safety and quality as for the federal aviation authority it largely delegated oversight of the 737 max to boeing itself even after the 1st crash the f.a.a. took out its word that it was compliant with federal safety regulations both boeing and the f.a.a. insist they've changed because regulators moved to recertify the 737 max grounded worldwide since march of 2019 victims' families say once again things are moving too quickly however what has changed is the credibility of the f.a.a.

one of the unprecedented things that happened was and other aviation authorities around the world said regardless of what the u.s. says about whether the airplane is fit to fly it will have to go through them as well that's something that typically doesn't happen nonetheless the 737 max is expected to be back in the air within months she every time see. the u.k. prime minister has been forced to compromise a the controversial plans to break international law for us johnson have been facing an internal rebellion a his internal markets bill which will give the government the ability to override parts of the bracks it withdrawal agreements johnson has now agreed that parliament will be able to vote before those powers. yes he does say there has been confirmed as japan's new prime minister a longtime ally of the former leader a the 71 year old pledged to contain the coronavirus and revive japan's battered economy but private ports. it's the ultimate victory for
