2:06 am
just seconds after take—off and this ethiopian airlines plane was repeatedly nosediving towards the ground. the pilots wrestled to pull up, but an automatic anti—stall mechanism on the new boeing 737 max 8 was pushing the plane down. investigators say the crew followed a procedure outlined by boeing, but it didn't work. it then plunged 13,000 feet in 32 seconds. the crew performed all the procedures, repeatedly provided by the manufacturer, but was not able to control the aircraft. onboa rd, 157 people. these are just some of the victims. but five months earlier, another 737 max 8 crashed off indonesia in a similar way, killing 189 people.
2:07 am
the max 8 is its latest version of the popular 737. new heavier engines make it much more fuel efficient but their weight and position force the plane's nose up a bit. if the angle of flight becomes too high, a plane can stall and crash, so boeing designed a computer system on the max called mcas, which automatically pushes the nose down. before the max was grounded, that system relied on just one of two sensors at the front of the aircraft, which calculate the angle at which the plane is flying. but in both crashes, the data from that sensor was incorrect. so as we've shown up here, the computer system thought the plane was at a high angle of attack, when in fact, it wasn't. look at what happens when the system kicks in. it was designed to do that, but instead, it wrongly caused the plane to nosedive. unaware of what was happening, the pilots pulled up. but the system was designed to reactivate again and again, and within minutes,
2:08 am
they'd lost control. you can see that the aircraft is now in quite a steep dive. that's the effect of mcas. captain chris brady has 18 years of experience flying 737s. that's the stall warning, saying that the aircraft is about to stall. he says so many issues now need to be reviewed. the level of automation of the aircraft, the behind systems, the risk analysis processes gone throughout boeing, the oversight by the regulator, the conversion training, the level of training generally, the manual flying skills of the crews, the knowledge of these switches. all of it needs to be reviewed in the light of these accidents. changes are being made to the max 8. onboard a recent test flight, boeing's chief executive. tonight in a carefully scripted video message, a recognition that the aircraft had malfunctioned. it promised a modified max 8 would be among the safest planes
2:09 am
have a fly. we know that every person who steps aboard one of our aeroplanes places their trust in us. together, we'll do everything possible to earn and re—earn that trust and confidence from oui’ customers and the flying public in the weeks and months ahead. but for now, hundreds are grounded, thousands of orders on hold, and multiple investigations will look at how the plane was signed off as safe to fly. tom burridge, bbc news. eu officials say they're still working with ireland's government on how to handle the irish border in the event of a no—deal brexit. at talks in dublin, the leaders of ireland and germany said they were determined to avoid a situation where britain leaves the eu without a deal. translation: we want to stand together as the 27 until the very last hour. we will do everything in order to prevent no—deal brexit but we have to do this with written and with the position that they have presented to us. in the event of a i'io presented to us. in the event of a no deal, whether uk crashes out and
2:10 am
without an agreement, it is not possible, quite frankly, to have a clear plan because there are so many different contingencies and hypotheticals and a lot of it will depend on what the uk decides to do. talks to resolve the parliamentary deadlock on brexit ended without a resolution. labour and the conservative both described the meeting between theresa may and jeremy corbyn as detailed and constructive. —— conservative ‘s. —— conservatives. you'll find lots more on that and further brexit analysis on our website. the labour party is held on to the seat of newport west in wales. labour's candidate, ruthjones, won the seat but with a reduced majority. the conservative party came second and the uk independence party came third, with an increased
2:11 am
share of the vote. turnout was sharply down on the 2017 general election, at just 37%. to the united states now, where the over the fight over the mueller report is intensifying. thejustice department has defended its handling of special counsel robert mueller‘s report, examining contacts between president donald trump's 2016 campaign and russia. investigators who worked for the special counsel said they were unhappy with the way attorney general william barr represented their findings. let's get more on this with our correspondent chris buckler, who was in washington for us now. fisher seems to be going on the attorney general? yeah, we never expected the fight about the mueller report and with the publication of that summary, with the publication of that summary, but it is as these reports are taking place and been put in both the washington post in the new york times, suggesting that there is perhaps more to what william barr, the us attorney general, wrote. that
2:12 am
is really let a lot of people start to ask a lot more questions about what is really contained in the full 400 pages of this report, and what is concerning congress is that the full information, they do not believe that they are going to get that. there are suggestions that they're going to be reductions without the support. in fact, those suggestions —— there are suggestions that every page there is this coated steel that suggests there is confidential information that potentially could be redacted, and therefore there is increasing emphasis with the congressional committees to try to put pressure on to get as much of the report as possible or even to try and subpoena to get the full report. now, at this stage, a subpoena has not been issued but bill nadler, who is the chair of the house judiciary committee, is making clear that that is something that they will consider. —— jerrold nadler. is something that they will consider. ——jerrold nadler. there have also been rallies taking place
2:13 am
today here in your, also here in washington, of people saying that they want to see the full report. what we should emphasise at this stage though is that these reports inside the washington post and the new york times that some investigators are not happy with what has been said so far, those obviously being disputed by the white house and present company tweet was very clear in saying that the new york times had no legitimate sources, which would be totally illegal concerning the mueller report. in fact, they probably had no sources at all. i absolutely doubt ——i no sources at all. i absolutely doubt —— i have absolutely no doubt that the new york times would deny that the new york times would deny that absolutely. it does view this sensible dope president trump claimed he was exonerated by what was written, that he found no evidence of collusion involving the trunk campaign in russia, nonetheless there are still questions to be asked. but it does give you the sense that. the question of whether or not the president tried to obstructjustice and remember, the special counsel
2:14 am
robert mueller quite clearly said he was not going to draw any conclusions, it was the attorney general barr who cleared the president, that is something we're going to at in some detail in this 400 page report. still to come, when vincent van gogh met led zeppelin, we get a sneak peek at an exhibition in new york. years of hatred and rage as they jump up years of hatred and rage as they jump up on the statue. this funeral became a massive demonstration of lack of power. the power to influence. today is about the promise of a bright future. a day

when we hope a line can be drawn under the bloodied past.|j when we hope a line can be drawn under the bloodied past. i think that the works of picasso were beautiful. they were intelligent and it isa beautiful. they were intelligent and it is a sad loss to everybody who loves art. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: the man suspected of carrying out the christchurch mosque attack has been ordered to undergo mental health test to determine if he is fit to stand trial. and boeing says it will take all necessary steps to make its aircraft safe after a preliminary investigation into a crash of one of its planes last

2:18 am
i protested for, and i think it is changing a lot now. the road to change was opened by economic crisis. after 30 years in power, the bashir regime has failed to deliverjobs or prosperity. and soaring inflation alienated the middle classes, whose children took to the streets. the economic situation is so bad that even people from the middle class, even affluent families, found it hard to maintain their daily bread. and so when they reach that level of desperation, they became equal with the poor and the working classes, and had nothing to lose. with bashir still firmly in control of the security forces, it doesn't look as if the new sudan will be born anytime soon. but what is significant is that the experience of brutality, of witnessing what is happening to others, has traumatised, but also deepened the determination of the protesters. translation: this is something truly sad. if you don't believe
2:19 am
truly in what you do, it is hard to go on. if you don't believe, then you will feel it is ok to just stand by and watch them beat people. when you see a man is being beaten, i don't think you would cross your arms and just watch. whether or not they remove the regime soon, the women of sudan have already achieved fundamental change — in how their society sees them, in how they see themselves. fergal keane, bbc news. researchers say the amount of new coral created on australia's great barrier reef has plummeted by nearly ninety percent as a result of ocean heatwaves. scientists warn the structure of the reef is likely to transform completely if more bleaching occurs because of climate change. caroline rigby has more.

2:22 am
become the third richest woman in the world when she gets this stake in amazon that will be worth around $35 billion, 4%. one of the crucial parts of the settlement is that geoff bezos will maintain voting right of mackenzie's stock which means he will not lose any power at amazon even though he is losing 25% of his stock. and that is important to him. he has as much say in amazon as he does before. and that is presumably when you look at the reaction from investors they seem indifferent. stock down by around 1% today, nothing out of the ordinary. it seems that the divorce settlement has pleased the couple. they went on social media to say they were happy with what
