prime minister and who will be the vice president now who will be members of that committee but we don't know will that be members of the military judge that will be appointed from members of civil society or the opposition it seems that it's an additional hurdle for the military leadership that seeking to gain recognition at stake here for the millions is to find a new leadership that will bring security to mali ins and to jumpstart their economy to reassure the population and to bring back the state where the state has so longer so so far been absent. coming up at al-jazeera in a moment disarming local tribesmen in iraq the battle between reducing crime and maintaining tradition and one of the strictest lockdowns in the world is coming to an end details after the break.

u.s. aviation administrators and boeing have been blamed for what's called a horrific culmination of saleyards which cost $2.00 airliners to cross in indonesia and ethiopia the 737 max remains grounded worldwide but the u.s. manufacturer hopes the fleet is back in the air soon after redesigning flight control software she had reports. 346 people died in 2 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 berry 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 customer's 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 and 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 and georgia who lost his entire family and the subsequent crash of ethiopia

airlines flight 302 said this is where the problem lies point should not be allowed to act like an investment company extracting welt hold any tons 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 but it's regulators move 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 al-jazeera. the head of libya's internationally recognized government says he'll resign at the end of next month until then prime minister will oversee the selection of the new leader his talks are due to certain. the tripoli based government will negotiate with the rival administration in the east which is our lights warlord khalifa haftar. has more from tripoli will not this his wish will come true that remains to be seen as you know that. the international mediations have been trying to bridge the gap between rival factions including the meetings in montreux last week and switzerland and also meetings in morrocco that gathered civil rayville factions in libya and that was sponsored by

the united nations support the mission in libya and the humanitarian sinter the center for humanitarian dialogue so. it will remain in poland until a new cabinet and your presidential council is chosen no one knows for certain when this will happen but we know that according to the. conclusions the rival factions agreed to extend the interim stage until for 18 months so it has been always calling for early presidential and parliamentary elections in march but no one of the rival factions has agreed. to hold early elections. iraq's government has launched a campaign to reduce the number of illegal weapons the aim is to reduce crime but

some tribes say disarming them goes against their traditions are reports from baghdad. these are members of iraq's special task force looking for illegal guns in the south eastern province missed some there are eager to find them so they search of people's homes and commercial sites like this factory trying to uncover any where people could hide weapons they've set up extra checkpoints here to make sure unregistered guns are not smuggled out and this is what they say they've confiscated so far let me just on the we've seized more than 30 weapons made 6 arrests and confiscated 4 vehicles without license plate this operation is also happening in the neighboring province of basra which has seen the biggest increase in violence in recent weeks but tribal feuds lack of facilities and corruption have led to anger and protests here and a recent rise in targeted killings of high profile activists forced the prime

minister to travel to basra to reassure people the government will do more that's targeted killing of prominent iraqi scholar or his family in july outside his home in this neighborhood in baghdad by gunmen on motorbikes prompted outrage across the country the government has been accused of not being able to protect its citizens from armed groups which is why many are turning to their tribes for protection this is why disarming tribes in iraq is not an easy task your name although. the issue of having weapons in iraq is not a new phenomenon it's part of our culture especially the tribal culture so disarming tribes will require a special initiative to convince tribal leaders that weapons position has a more negative impact on the entire society and a long history of conflict has also created a market for illegal weapons. behati is one of the main tribes in the country in baghdad its leader explains why the government's plan won't work. i don't

believe they will succeed it is confused the insult to take over the developments of anything veteran's i'll concede that it does symbol of all iraqi tribes it is because the government locks power to protect people and in force the rule for that to be used did try to settle disputes and sometimes to be need out of airplanes to settle disputes back in the sand despite the challenges facing these forces the search goes on to rid the country of illegal weapons door such a pari al jazeera baghdad taiwan says its air force has warned off 2 chinese anti submarine jets that flew into its airspace this is the latest chinese military activity over the island which beijing claims as its own territory and this all coming ahead of a senior u.s. officials visit to taiwan whose plane has just landed now as you can see

washington's increasing support for taiwan has worsened tensions between the u.s. and china there's been fighting between rebels and government forces in indian administered kashmir police say it happened after they raided several homes in srinagar believing they were linked to the rebels government forces say gunshots were fired at them 1st before they responded 3 rebels were killed while one woman died in the crossfire the u.s. president has contradicted a top health official on the timing of a coronavirus vaccine the director of the centers for disease control says it's highly unlikely one would be available to most americans until next summer but trump says robert redfield is just confused and insists a vaccine will be ready before the election mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . the c.d.c. director peered before a senate committee and emphasized the importance of wearing

a mask and i might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against covert than when i take a covert vaccine because the imminent unicity may be 70 percent and if i don't get an immune response the vaccine is not going to protect me this facemask will on the subject of a vaccine ridgefield said one could become available before the end of the year but only in a limited supply if you're asking me when is it going to be generally available to the american public so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life i think we're probably looking at 3rd rate 2nd quarter 3rd quarter 2021 but the president publicly disagreed with the c.d.c. director on the issue of mosques and the time scale when available vaccine now i

think you made a mistake when you said that it's just incorrect information and i called him and he didn't tell me that and i think you got the message maybe confused but president maintain the release of a vaccine is imminent we're ready to go immediately as the vaccine is announced and it could be announced in october could be announced a little bit after october the but once we go we're ready presidential candidate joe biden says he would side with science rather than trust the president who he says has frequently misled the public one thing is certain we can't allow politics to interfere with the vaccine in any way. americans have had to endure present trumps incompetence and dishonesty when it comes to testing of personal protective equipment. we can't afford to repeat those fiascos when it comes to a vaccine when it occurs the stakes are too high. president trump has

made no secret of the fact that he wants a vaccine in circulation before the november election he's repeatedly expressed anger at restrictions imposed on his campaign by the virus and is now back to holding full scale rallies with many including the president rejecting the use of mosques final clinical trials for potential vaccines have only just begun they involve tens of thousands of patients and importantly at least 2 doses have to be administered over a period of time it's impossible for the test to be completed in the timeline envisioned by president trump which raises a question of whether the president is considering cutting short protocols for the testing of new vaccines that have been established for decades mike hanna al-jazeera washington coronavirus restrictions in south africa are being rolled back after a drop in the number of new infections presidency around the process as the country

will move to alert level one from midnight sunday curfew hours will be reduced to between midnight and 4 am while up to $100.00 people will be allowed to attend funerals international travel will also be allowed from october our public health response is now focused on further reducing the transmission of the virus and preparing for a possible research we have now taken a decision to keep increasing coronavirus testing due to the decline in new infections and that would use pressure on our health facilities. we're now or have sufficient testing capacity to expand the criteria for text testing. family to miller has this update from johannesburg south africa

has endured a 6 month long lockdown one of the strictest in the world and it's had a severe impact on the economy one study suggests that after 3000000 people have lost their jobs while the economy contracted by around 51 percent in the 2nd quarter me south africans are worried about the country's economic future and it's hoped that the easing of restrictions well boost the economy create jobs and allow for the best possible recovery at this point and this is been the emphasis from presidents. over the lockdown that there's been great concern around south africa's economy now one of the biggest announcements made is that borders will open and international travel will be allowed but of course the government has says that it will be a gradual easing of travel restrictions there of course we want to be very cautious
