i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell. newsroom starts right now. and our top story ethiopia and china are now grounding all boeing 737 max 8 aircraft, the same type of plane from sunday's crash in ethiopia which killed all 157 people onboard. ethiopia says the decision was made as a safety precaution. china says it wants assurances from boeing and u.s. regulators before resuming the flights. >> the 737 max 8 is also the same model from last year emphasis lion-air crash in indonesia, that crash killing 189 people. it's still unclear what caused the ethiopian airlines crash. in the meantime investigators comb the crash site for more clues.

ethiopia's prime minister is offering some clues and some condolences. >> translator: as we all know ethiopian airlines a reputable airline with a good safety record for a long time. the cause of the accident will be deeply investigated by the professionals of the field, and the results of the findings will be made public. >> in nairobi kenya and joins us now live. of course we know that the plane was heading there for nairobi. talk to us about the reaction there in light of this doomed aircraft going down. >> reporter: there's a rael sense of shock amongst all the people that work for nongovernmental organizations like the human rights people that the united nations, refugee council, the world food program. all of these organizations have massive bases here in nairobi.

in fact, in many of the cases there are living in nairobi. and hopping over to adsis. and the crisis of refugees, all the crises are tackled between these two great cities. it came as no surprise there would be so many united nations people onboard. but the reaction is a great sense of loss and shock really. i'm here talking to you at the international airport. behind me is the international arrivals. now, 24 hours ago that plane, that doomed -- should have arrived at the airport and many would have been walking through this international arrivals area.

and sadly that isn't the case. at the moment we know that the company's executive for safety and transport is going to talk in a moment and he's joined as well by the ethiopian airlines chief from nairobi. we don't know what they're going to say but of course is feeling of tragedy is palpable in this town where so many united nations people work. no matter what organization you come from, you'll have an office in nairobi. why is that? because the infrastructure here is so solid and that's why they choose to base themselves in nairobi. that's why that plane was coming here. indeed there was going to be a united nations environmental meeting here today. the feeling i keep on saying, rosemary, is palpable. the deep sense of shock this shouldn't have happened to the

humanitarian community and family. and of course we are reading many states internationally as it affected 35 nations and some of those had dual citizenship, nigeren and canadian, and many others we're still trying to pick through who exactly they were. >> as you mentioned this a global tragedy. we know that that news conference you referred to has gotten under way. we're monitoring that. i do want to go to our robin creel. earlier you went out to that crash site. talk to us about what you saw and you're intending to head out there again. >> reporter: rosemary, we're at the crash site right now. it's a lot of clanging as you can watch them sifting through debris. their digging deep into this hole that we can't really see. on the side of the hole, though, is pieces of scrapped metal from

that plane. anyone who's flown with ethiopian airline will know the colors, bright green and orange. so those are the colors of the scrap metal they're taking utou of the holes. and there's also a number of ethiopian police and they have some equipment as well, lights because i'm guessing that this continued late into last night and will likely do so again today just judging from the amount of debris. there's also big pieces of what looked like mechanical parts of the plane. yie i'm not an expert but something that looks like it could be a turbine. but pieces of paper scattered by the wind and the pieces of paper that we've been seeing are luggage tags, pieces of clothing, womens handbags,

peoples business cards, part of the flight that would have been ejected from the cockpit. and we understand that as obviously the scene develops and people are going to bring forensic investigations teams from the affected countries. that would be your french, your kenyan, ethiopia is already here, but also american, british. all of those people that are affected they'll be coming up here with more than likely their own people working with the ethiopians to figure out who perished in this crash. >> people desperately at this point wanting some answers as to why this plane went down. our robyn kruil there at that

crash site. of course we're waiting to hear more from that news conference as to what happened. >> so many questions at this point still. >> indeed. and the passengers on the ethiopian airlines flight came from 35 countries showing that sunday's crash is truly a global tragedy. >> they included 19 united nations staff members. six of them worked at the u.n. office in nairobi. the u.n. secretary-general says he was deeply saddened by a loss. a georgetown university law student from kenya also died in the crash. school officials called him a champion for social justice across east africa. also onboard the children and wife of a slovakian lawmaker. he asked people to think of them in a quiet memory. >> and we are hearing more from the families of those who lost their lives on sunday. >> dan curia whose father died in the crash told bbc that the two shared a meal in the u.k.

shortly before his dad left for ethiopia. >> i went to look to see whether he dropped a message to say he arrived safely i safely in addi saw a message that said the plane had crashed and then it was a roller coaster of news. i think shortly after that i found out that nearly everybody had passed away, and it was just a frantic rush to work the phones to try and get any information that we could get. >> he says that he is still in shock not just from the passing of his father but for all the people who died on that flight. the u.s. president is ready to launch a new border wall fight, but his 2020 budget proposal is already getting a thumbs down from democratic leaders. we'll have more on that ahead. so type 2 diabetes,

are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set. right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the genital area could also occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing.

do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

pardon the interruption but this is big! now with t-mobile get the samsung galaxy s10e included with unlimited data for just $40 a month. returning now to our top story, the deldly crash of an ethiopian airlines flight. the ceo of that company says that the pilot of flight 302 had an excellent flying record and had flown more than 8,000 hours.

>> he says routine maintenance of the plane did not reveal any problems, but at this point he's not ruling out any reasons for the cause of the crash including terrorism or sabotage. >> let's bring in allen, a forcer u.s. accident investigator and has a wide range of experience, even writing the book "air safety investigate, using science to save lives one crash at a time." good to have you on with us, allen. >> thanks for having me, george. >> these were very disturbing similarities between the lion-air flight and this crash. should this raise alarms in your view about this aircraft? >> well, certainly it's something to consider. and, yes, i guess the short answer is yes. but all air safety investigators go about very diligently looking through the evidence, and right now we really don't have any evidence other tan the radio

call that it was returning to base. and the radar data that showed the aircraft descending shortly after take off and repeatedly varying it's altitude which is similar to what happened in the lion-air craft several months ago. >> china and ethiopia have decided to ground several 737 max 8s. are you surprised by this move and should others consider the same? >> i was a little surprised, but thore doing it out of an abundance of caution. obviously each carrier needs to look at the impact of doing that. clearly for some airlines it would be significant. there are 350 of these max 8s out there, but i would think the government and official in the united states and around the

world would want to look at the black box and also get evidence just from the radio transmissions. a lot of times when you take recordings of the radio transmissions into the lab you can also pick up whether or not there's a warning system or a thing called a stick shaker. it rattles to let the pilots know they're in a stalled position. if it looks like this is similar to the lion-air, yes, i think at that point they ought to seriously consider grounding all the 737 max aircraft. >> and allen, what can you tell us about the airline itself? >> well, ethiopia has a tremendous reputation. they're considered to be probably -- they and south african airways are probably the two best airlines on the continent of africa. yeah, they've had a few accidents over the decades, but they have a very good reputation. the this is as, you know, a

brand new aircraft, an experienced crew. the weather was good, and the maintenance on ethiopian aircraft is supposed to be very good. it's reportedly very good. i've never investigated a previous ethiopian crash. but everything i've read about the airline, both the training and the maintenance looks like it's exceptional. >> all right, and also want to talk about the overall circumstances around this crash. we understand the pilot, he was experienced. the weather was good. does this come down to the plane itself? >> well, it tends to point in that direction. of course, there are so many things we haven't eliminated yet, and that's why you do these investigations. everything from sabotage to bird streaks to some sort of misloading of the cargo. you could actually have the plane out of the balance on take off, and we've seen accidents where the plane lost control after take off because that weight and balance as they say

wasn't done correctly. so we don't want to jump to any conclusion. if anything, george, these air safety investigators are very meticulous, so you're kind of caught between a double-edged sword. one, you want to get the answer out as quickly as you can because aircraft could be at risk. on the other hand, you want to be thorough, so these people work long hours and expeditiously, and they will be calling in experts not just from the ntsb and the united states and the faa, but also from boeing, the engine manufacturers, the avionics manufacturers. so all these areas will be looked at simultaneously. but right now it is strange. the weather was good. about the only thing that i've heard that gave me a little pause, and i don't know that this has been confirmed yet, but they had the copilot only had

200 hours total time. now, that, like i said it was reported in the press. i haven't seen that officially confirmed. i know the captain supposedly had 8,000 hours, so he was very experienced. but there are some differences between the so-called max 8 737 and the earlier types. and some of the things that work for pilots, some of the actions that you take you have a loss of control are quite different on the max 8. so the training of these pilots whether or not they were properly briefed on the new max 8 features, the so-called maneuvering, augmentation control system, maneuvering characteristics system, whether or not they were briefed on that we'll have to wait squoo see. but i'm sure they're looking at maintenance records, training records and basically everything simultaneously. >> we appreciate your time and expertise on this. >> thanks so much for having me.

>> and you can stay up-to-date with the very latest news on the ethiopian airlines crash. we are tracking it all live here on cnn.com. another budget showdown is on the horizon. president trump will present his plan for 2020 on monday. >> it includes plans for a border wall and budget cuts already meeting with opposition from democratic leaders. our boris sanchez has this. >> reporter: president trump is asking for a 5% cut in spending from all federal agencies except those related to defense. president trump actually asking for a $35 billion increase in defense spending over last year including $8.6 billion for his long promised border wall. and it's actually the first time the trump administration is looking to get border wall funding for more than one source. the president asking for $5 billion from customs and border protection and an additional

$3.6 billion in military construction funds from the pentagon. and on top of that president trump is asking for an additional $3.6 billion essentially to reimburse money that he's used. to make it simpler the president is asking congress to authorize money that he went around them to spend. democrats are not very happy about this budget. the congressional leadership and house speak er nancy pelosi and chuck schumer put out a statement. quote, president trump hurt millions of americans and caused widespread chaos when he recklessly -- the same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again. we hope he herned his lesson. so both sides are digging in for what will likely be a slugfest.

and democrats here are essentially daring president trump to try and shutdown the federal government again, which would be the third time in his presidency that the federal government is thought down over the issue of immigration. boris sanchez, cnn, traveling with the president in west palm beach, florida. a professor of international politics at city university. he joins us now from lunlden. good to have you with us. so president trump forging ahead with plans to build his wall, and he wants to cut funds to education and health care to make that happen. now, the democrats as we heard there say he won't get what he wants. so what's their likely next move? and who's going to win this budget battle do you think? >> well, it's interesting that president trump is only asking for additional funds to build the wall but he's also demanding tat the military budget increase significantly as well. when you look at the wall and how he justifies it, it's all about defending america and

americans and socon. and i think he's now drawing a line to say once again or i emphasize again we need a person to stand up for america and american security and arguing the democrats don't. so i think he's putting the democrats into a very, very difficult position. and they are leaving him very few options other than he has to stands up and oppose and fully contradict what president trump is trying to do. >> and so how likely do you think it is that we will see another government shutdown over this looming budget battle? this would be his third. >> absolutely. and that's the direction i think this is probably heading. president trump is -- everybody's not pervading the 2020 elections and he's trying to secure his political base as far as he possibly can.

and he's been able to pretty strongly do that. however, the evidence from the last shutdown was that even republicans weren't too happy with that shutdown. and nor were they with the emergency -- the national emergency he declared. i think he's fighting the last stand as he sees it. and i think the democrats have got to stand their ground, and the chances are therefore there's a very high likelihood the government shuts down. >> and of course in the midst of this he upsets some major allies. president trump tweeted this, wacky wack job anne coalster who still hasn't figured out of the radicals against me not to mention certain republicans who aren't willing to fight i am winning on the board. so anne colter, she is now

turning on him, he is fighting back. what does that indicate to you? >> i think you need to look at the grounds in which anne colter is fighting president trump. and that's any idea that he might compromise on building the wall is the kind of principle source of her opposition. you know anne colter is kind of a white genocide conspiracy theorists who argues the immigration of the united states is -- so she represents a very extreme white wing position, and some of those people are very upset president trump couldn't sign-off a budget previously which would have not included founds for a border wall. which requires about $25 billion worth of funding. so president trump is trying to salvage that kind of reputation that he's got, that he's going to build a wall and defend america. but there are those on the extreme right not very happy and he appears to be compromising

from time to time. on the other hand, he's lost other support from other republican lawmakers who don't believe he's a competent president and they've deserted him. so once again what we're seeing here is that president trump is trying to secure a political base. it's under threat, and he is now kind of drawing a line in the sand, and he's going to fight on that position in 2020. he's willing to cut their health care, their education and other entitlemen entitlements. >> we'll watch to see in just a few hours. and of course we'll hear the announcement and more reaction. thank you so much for your analysis. >> thank you very much. the trial has started for suspects in a murder that made international headlines. but one suspect has just been set free. the new details in the kim

an indnessen woman who was accused of the 2017 killing of kim jong nam walked free on monday. she said she had no idea she was being used by north korea and thought the direction she was given was for a tv show. >> charges against a vietnam ease national remain, though. prosecutors accuse the two women of expotioning kim jang nam to the dangerous nerve agent killing him within minutes. ivan, what more can you tell us about the circumstances of this woman walking free? >> reporter: well, this is remarkable development in the trial after this brazen assassination in calla lumpur international airport in 2017. one of the two suspects in the case who was apparently caught on security cameras involved in smearing deadly vx nerve agent on the face of the north korean

dictator's half brother kim jong-nam, that she was abruptly set free when the prosecutors in malaysia abruptly dropped charge. now, it appears that some serious lobbying on behalf of the indonesian government in defense of their citizen may have played a big role in getting these charges dropped. the indonesian embassy igave a press conference where they said prosecutors dropped the charges according to section 254 of malaysia's criminal code and i'll paraphrase but it says at any moment the prosecutors want they can drop charges, which appears to be what has happened. the indonesian authorities are saying who was potentially facing the death penalty in

malaysia up until this morning is now expected to be brought back home to innesia in the near future. and her family who has spoken with cnn, who was brought to the capital jakarta by inldnesian authorities are now celebrating her daughter is escaping the death penalty or her mother telling cnn she believed her daughter was innocent all along in court. she was overhead thanking the president of indonesia as well as the indonesian ambassador and the malaysianen governme governr lawyers for helping free her. george? >> just to touch on this, the second woman, ivan, the charges still not dropped there. >> no, but this raises some serious questions about what's going to happen to her. she also faces murder charges, potentially the death penalty. her lawyer has immediately made

an appeal to the attorney general in malaysia saying, hey, if you're going to set one suspect free on the grounds of fairness you need to set my client free as well. and i do know that the vietnamese government has been working on this case on behalf of their citizen. if this follows the same pattern, and it's still early to say that, then the two suspects who were in detention could walk away free. again, it's still early days, from this very brazen broad daylight assassination of a high profile figure in kuala lumpur international airport. both of these women had pled not guilty. malaysia wants four north koreans in connection with the assassination. but their whereabouts is unclear right now. interpol has an arrest warrant issued for them. >> ivan watson following the story for us in hong kong.

thank you. venezuela's opposition leader says his country has collapsed from the crippling black outs there. >> juan guaido told cnn the power outages have cost venezuela hundreds of millions of dollars and have made it hard to get basic needs. >> translator: there was no service in the hospitals. these were the best hospitals in the country. if we are in the capital, what is it like kilometers inside venezuela where there hasn't been or there has been very little gasoline with periodic cuts in electricity, without basic goods with in efficient transportation. you can say with all responsibility that venezuela has already collapsed. there's been an exodus of tal want. there are many specialists, many te technicians that have found opportunities elsewhere, so they don't have the man power.

they don't have the technical capacity to do it quickly. the proof is it's been four days. more than 4.1 billi$4.1 billion the national economy and minute by minute that grows. so i don't think they can recover fully. >> we also asked guaido if he thinks his rival president nicolas maduro would ever step down without violence. >> translator: he is the one making it harder and doing that today. 12 hours ago we counted 17 murders. we can't call it any other way. imagine if in your country you wake to the news that there's been four days without electricity because of corruption because they steal from electricity plants and 17 people died. that's murder. >> guaido says he will call for a state of national emergency to address the crisis. it's the latest disaster to hit the already troubled nation.

>> in the meantime juan guaido says 16 states in venezuela are completely without power while 6 have partial power. and with the lights still out the government is suspending all school and work activities monday. cnn's paula newton has more now from caracas. well, the piece of good news comes from the lights that you see behind me. it seems this city, this country is just beginning to recover, but the toll it has taken in a country already crippled by acute shortages of food and medicine and now this. we have heard stories of so many people just struggling to survive especially in those hospitals that were already facing so much adversity. today we heard from many, many people who said, look, the power must come back on. we are running out of everything. we have spoiled food in our homes and no way to really figure out how to get more food, and quite frankly the money to get more food into our homes. right now the government has

said that monday again everyone should stay home, schools, businesses, the government is closed. people again will continue to try and recover. politically the opposition still continues to say this is mismanagement on the government's side. president maduro continuing to hold to his line this was indeed sabotage. one thing is for sure, the hydro system, the electricity system in this country is in dire need of repair. and in the middle of a drought venezuelans know that while this bla blackout may be over for now or at least beginning to be over they may risk more black outs to come or at least more struggles. u.s. backed forces say that isis is out of time to surrender in eastern syria. cnn has been on the front lines of the latest battle there. we have a live report ahead for you. stay with us.

cewelcome back, everyone. the last 24 hours have seen another round of fighting in eastern syria. trying to seize the last isis n enclave. >> that was on sunday. you can see the explosions that light up the night sky and hear that heavy gunfire. >> and they've been covering this battle from the front lines. for the latest ben joins us live from eastern syria. you and your team have been watching this battle play out for a while now. why has it taken so long, and will this be a fight to the death or will we see some of these isis fighters surrender? >> reporter: rosemary, the reason why thoefb had this is the third attempt to retake this very small bit of land still

occupied by isis. and the reason is there were so many civilians inside. originally the syrian democratic forces wildly underestimated the number of people inside. and aunt ago they were telling us they thought there was only about 1,500 civilians and maybe 500 fighters. well, it turned out there were more than 30,000 inside. so after the first two attempts to retake the town they called a truce to allow civilians and fighters who wanted to leave and surrender to do so. so between the fighting we saw these huge numbers of people come out, and most recently we saw hundreds of isis fighters. some of whom i spoke to leaving. many of them said that they simply could not stand the bombardment onto that town. now, in the last 72 hours, only a few dozen people came out. and that's when the syrian democratic forces decided, okay,

it's time to launch this final operation. but this doesn't necessarily mean we may be in for another round of civilians leaving and another troop. so it's the third attempt, but there may be a fourth. >> it's certainly possible. and it is a small area that we're talking about, but where does this all leave isis as an organization? >> as an organization it continues to exist and operate in other parts of syria and iraq. but as a territorial entity, as a pseudo state it is certainly in its last days. now, we got a chance to go into that encampment. part of it has has been liberated by the syrian democratic forces. we were there just an hour before the operation began, and

i'm not even going to try to describe it. just watch and listen. [ gunfire ] >> we were going to go forward to an area closer to where the isis encampment is, but because of this fighting, apparently a battle has broken out a new one, so we're not going any further. this is as far as we can go at

this point. now, it appears that -- as you can see here gunfire was hitting around the corn from us because there's a sniper in an isis building just 200 meters from where we are. so if we were to go around this corner here we'd be exposed to that sniper. now, scott is holding the camera around the corner but not going around the corner himself because of the possibility of getting hit by that sniper. i don't want to go out there. and we have been watching through the binoculars and actually been able to see people

inside. and if we can zoom in on the camp behind me you can actually make out one of several isis flags we've been able to see still flying within that encampment. we don't know how many fighters there are. we did, as i said, see through the binoculars some, it appears, men still walking around despite everything that's going on behind me. so how long this battle is going to take, rosemary, is anybody's guess at this point. but certainly what we saw overnight was very intense bombardment not only by u.s. led coalition aircraft but also by mortars and artillery as well. those mortars and artillery, some of them manned by french, british and american special forces who aren't on the front lines. they're not actually engaged in the tent to tent combat so to

speak, but definitely playing an important supporting role. rosemary? >> ben wedemen, you and your team, incredible reporting. exclusive reporting there from eastern syria. do stay safe. and we will continue to follow this story and see how long this battle takes. many thanks to you, ben. the british government is defending its actions after the death of an isis member's baby in syria. the u.k.'s top diplomat spoke to the bbc about her child and stripped the mother of her citizenship. he used the term -- an arabic acronym for isis. >> she knew when she made the decision to join she was going to a country there was no embassy, no consular assistance, and i'm afraid those decisions as awful as it is, they do have consequences. >> and that was british foreign

secretary jeremy hunt speaking about her. she left the u.k. to join isis more than four years ago. at the time she was only 15 years old. another burst of winter is headed for the united kingdom. heavy snowfall, ice and wind are coming. and we will have the forecast for you. that is next. let's be honest:
