this is the interview news live from berlin why did a brand new boeing seven thirty seven fall out of the sky divers in indonesia find one of the black boxes of the plane that crashed shortly after taking off from jakarta on monday they hope it will help to explain the calls of the tragedy that claimed the lives of nearly two hundred people also coming up nearly five years after the my down revolution has ukraine realise the aspirations of its people to

move closer to europe we look back and forward as german chancellor angela merkel holds talks with political leaders in kiev. telling jitters a deal could be closed between britain and the e.u. giving london's vast financial services basic access to the european markets after . i'm seems almost got a good to have you with us divers in indonesia have found a black box from the passenger jet that crashed on monday killing one hundred eighty nine people they hope the device will shed light on the cause of the tragedy the lie in the air a boeing seven thirty seven went down thirteen minutes after taking off from the capital jakarta authorities have asked families of the dead to try to identify their loved ones by looking at some of the belongings retrieved from the sea. a body plucked from

a watery grave the family beside themselves villagers are on hand to support them as they grieve. a funeral of one of the victims of lion air flight j.t. six one zero but there's still no clear answer about why the plane crashed on monday. the investigation continues much more of the plane remains hidden beneath the sea surface. but since monday divers have located some of the body of the boeing seven three seven and now they found its black box one of the salvage teams said they dug deep and found it buried in the debris on the sea floor. salvaging the box from the wreckage means aviation experts can begin piecing together what went wrong.

so we will let the transportation safety committee do their job. and we have requested boeing help determine the criteria needed for inspection. to find out the cause of the crash. knowing why the plane went down fifteen minutes after takeoff will be of some comfort to the relatives identifying victims is a huge challenge a forensic team is examining body parts others to sifting through clothes and belongings to identify their loved ones the details are related to my husband's shoe we just wanted to be sure because those in charge of identifying the victims say we can help them with identification but they're not his shoes they are different they read so i can confirm they are not his and it could take weeks to analyze the black boxes data but his discovery is a huge moment for families of the nearly two hundred victims and for indonesia

a nation once more in mourning. our southeast asia correspondent passed and heartache is following all the latest developments for us why did it take authorities several days to locate the black box. apparently assuming it's not so easy to find not only the black box but also the fuselage of the plane fuselage of the plane and for which which appear which you would think would be easier to spot now what makes it difficult divers say and the authorities say is that first of all the current seems to be very strong the water isn't very deep it's only some thirty meters deep the current seems to be very strong down there that's what divers have to fight with also apparently there's energy pipelines down there which makes the search for anything that's. parts of the plane or whatever they're looking for. more and more difficult as well now of course these flight recorders they send out signals so it makes it easier for the search teams to find them and of course the divers that went down there they had

devices that allowed them to receive those signals and that's how in the end they found this one flight recorder now even once they knew where it was it wasn't easy to retrieve it because as the diver said who did bring it up to the surface they said they had to think down deep as we heard in the report there's the sea floor is muddy and it was covered by debris as well so it wasn't easy to retrieve that and it's only one of two flight recorders that they found now they have to see what information they can get from that and that's a question how important is this black box what information are authorities hoping to glean from it. this is crucial in the investigation through any plane crash really information that's on these flight recorders now the one that they retrieved is the data recorder which means that that's the recorder that has critical data of not only the engines but also of altitude of speed of vertical acceleration of all the instruments on the plane so

they're hoping to find out if there were any technical problems we know that this plane experienced technical difficulties the day before the crash now the airline says that these technical difficulties were resolved before it departed on that final flight now maybe with the with the data from the recorder they're going to be able to find out if there were any other technical problems of course they're still looking for that other recorder which is the cockpit voice recorder so me. with all of this information how much closer are we to finding out about the causes of this crash. but i think this is one critical step and one very important step as i just said. we're still looking where they're still looking for the cockpit voice recorder which records the conversation inside the cockpit and then the conversation with air traffic control as well so that's going to deliver

crucial in for information as well now the authorities have said it's going to take some time to pull the data from that recorder and for a full analysis they said they might have a preliminary report within a few weeks or a month maybe by a full analysis is going to take several months and they're going to be it's going to take some time to figure out and they're not going to jump to conclusions i'm pretty sure because this was obviously a very brand new this is a brand new plane and the authorities have already said that these planes are they have to undergo further inspections now special inspections in indonesia but so far they haven't discovered any problems so it's going to take a while until they really come out with the conclusive report as to why that plane in the end actually crashed our south-east asia correspondent bastian heartache for us thank you. let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world a new study has revealed that the earth's oceans have absorbed sixty percent more

ties with the e.u. so five years later has ukraine moved any closer to europe connelly takes a look. this is how it all started with a handful of people taking to modern square protesting against president a coach's decision to abandon a long awaited dissociation deal much to fear of angering moscow within weeks the protests a growing to tens of thousands of people in europe wasn't the only issue but the european flags were hard to miss. the protesters had no shortage of prominent guess from brussels showing their support among them the chief diplomat at the time catherine ashton. was three months later and present in a coach was gone fleeing to exile in russia. just a matter of weeks later and ukraine finally signed the association agreement and over two thousand pages long it covers everything from animal welfare to judicial

reform but ask most ukrainians what the association deal means to them and they'll most likely answer two things travel and trade. no more queuing up for visas no more hefty visa fees for many ukrainians visa free access to the area has been the most tangible change. no surprise then that present pershing come out the end of these are the ones with a lavish ceremony on the country's border with the new. under the terms of the deal ukraine also gained preferential access to european markets the e.u. has long been ukraine's biggest single trading partner since o.c.a. ssion came into effect trade between ukraine and the block has been growing by over twenty percent a year but what the association agreement these people protesting for didn't include was a firm promise of future membership instead it merely acknowledged ukraine's quote

european aspirations decision makers in kiev hope that in time brussels would offer a road map to membership five years. and they're still waiting the answer seems to be a polite very definite no. that report from the w.'s it nicholas connelly and he joins us for more from kiev good to see you how much support is there today among ukrainians for moving towards the e.u. . the polls do show a strong majority across the country for joining the e.u. having said that when you people how lucky they think it is to happen most of them seem to have got the message from europe and see. joining the e.u. something that's off in the future and there is growing disappointment a sense that the e.u. strong ukraine along with expectations that couldn't be met so that is something that is changing remains pretty widespread if we look at what has happened in the

last five years after my don russia annexed crimea and. ukraine there's been multiple efforts to bring peace to the region we mentioned that chancellor angela merkel is visiting kiev today she's been a big part of pushing forward those peace efforts why haven't they really succeeded . at the forefront of those talks the two different rounds of the. process the fundamental problem here is that the process would involve on the one hand the. separatists in eastern ukraine closing. the border to russia which carney porus. supports them. fresh elections. in those elections giving them. regional status.

seems willing to make that move both sides. seem to be satisfied with the states taking the risk of making that and making a concession they both seem to think that. it's better to not risk making concessions in the hope that. position will prevail. playing a crucial role as a mediator between a ukrainian president petro poroshenko. and russia's vladimir putin it is a difficult relationship has he helped overcome the hostility. i think definitely the beginning that was an important role people weren't picking up phones to each other in those first weeks and months of the conflict here since then that has changed somewhat and we understand that president bush in confusion to talk directly occasionally they have channels of communication i think the fundamental problem here is that russia and russia's elites don't see ukraine as

a genuinely foreign country they don't recognize ukraine's ability to set aside for policy and they see certain rights themselves in saudi will close in ukraine say any move that ukraine makes is to extent going to be unpopular mosco so it's not so much about the personal chemistry between the leaders as that fundamental disconnect but angela merkel has expended a whole lot of diplomatic capital over the last five years in ukraine not just in minsk but also in terms of shoring up european sanctions against russia for indexation crimea that was something that was deeply unpopular with lots of european governments bots through her coordination they have prevailed in spite of all those challenges all right he did he is not calmly reporting for us live from kiev thank you nic. you're watching news still to come a possible breakthrough on the u.k. and the e.u. are reported to have reached an agreement on granting banks access to the single

market their breath it. then we'll have the details on that story and the rest of your business headlines coming right up in one minute. how about taking a few risks you could even take a chance on love. don't expect happy ending. the church. it's.

nothing but then i guess sometimes i am but most often when that. thinks deep into .
