7:04 am
ball joins us now from nairobi where that flight was having known a good morning to you details have been emerging of who was on that flight what we know this one. brian we know that people from all over the world on this plane according to theo and mines kenya has the highest number of casualties thirty two kenyans were on board followed by canada with eighteen the last nine and the u.s. italy and china all had eight nationals on board as well the list of the names has been published and of course we're learning more and more about the people behind these numbers one of them for example was hedrick. he was born and raised in mumbai so he was a law student in d.c. and he was on his way to nairobi because his fiance his mother had died someone else was an ethiopian aid worker called tom wrote to them and see he was working
7:05 am
with save the children and his colleagues described him as someone who tireless be wired to save vulnerable children and humanitarian crises and of course these are just a few of the stories the personal stories behind these numbers of the people who lost their lives yesterday in this tragic crash not only one day after the crash along with all of these personal stories what's the mood where you are. why i'm here at the app or it's this is where flight ninety three out to bush had to go to land yesterday at ten thirty in the morning this is where relatives family friends colleagues had all been waiting for hours for a plane that never arrived hundreds of people gathered here yesterday aid worker called tom wrote to them and see he was working with save the children and his colleagues described him as someone who tireless be wired to save vulnerable children and humanitarian crises and of course these are just
7:06 am
a few of the stories the personal stories behind these numbers of the people who lost their lives yesterday in this tragic crash not only one day after the crash along with all of these personal stories one. the mood where you are. well i'm here at the airport this is where flight ninety three o two was shadow to land yesterday at ten thirty in the morning this is where relatives family friends colleagues had all been waiting for hours for a plane that never arrived hundreds of people gathered here yesterday relatives were attended to imagine to send us but a lot of people had also just come out in support today the mood is sad looks a lot more quiet than usual i've been talking to a few people said that they're more anxious than ever of waiting for their loved ones to arrive today we do not have confirmation yet but it looks like the
7:07 am
president himself could be heading out to the airport today often seen military and ceremonial uniform while in the meantime on social media there is an outpouring still of messages of condolence and you can really feel that the entire country all of kenya is mourning. is knowing the courage the ball for us in nairobi at the airport where the flight was headed thanks very much for the morning. ok let's get more now if you have use aviation editor christophe cobra joining us in the studio right now good morning christophe china has grounded all its seven thirty seven max aircraft after this crash right china's division administration says all ninety six seventy seven x. aircraft of chinese carriers need to stay on the ground for at least nine hours and the body would inform the airlines when they can continue flying the plane the authority says this is in line with the principle of zero tolerance for security
7:08 am
risks we've heard that this is the second time this type of aircraft has crashed in just a matter of months now this move is quite significant to halt these planes for one reason because this is applies to about one fourth of the entire seventy seven max fleet around the world and obviously china is the fastest growing market in the world so this sends quite a signal that comes after ethiopian airlines also announced that it was grounding its remaining fleet of four seven three seven max so ok you know the seven three seven boeing it is such an important aircraft it's a workhorse for so many airlines what about the max version well the seventy seven max is a new generation of this aircraft of the most popular aircraft around the world is boeing's fastest selling plane because it is supposed to be more fuel efficient which is very important in this time and age more than three hundred are flying
7:09 am
around the world right now but more than four thousand are ordered at boeing so the seven to seven max as bigger and wider turbines which as we found out from the ports before apparently change the balance of the plane and the way it needs to be operated also boeing equipped the seventy seven x. with more automated computer systems which this is a big point of fist near apparently it did not tell pilots airlines about ok now this is the second time there's been a crash. the max a seven thirty seven x. eight is there any link i mean is it too early to look for one or to say there might be one it is. early stages of this investigation which is about to kick off and if you if you have but and we don't know if there is a link but obviously there are similarities that we can and then investigators will not ignore this is the very same type of aircraft the discraft in both times it was a very brand new plane also the incident which led to the eventually crash happened
7:10 am
in the same stage of the flight rather soon after after takeoff so there could be a link but obviously. it could been other problems as well engine function or anything like that ok we'll know more when we fly and find the black box the flight recorder has the search going for clues and what can we expect i was looking for the flight data recorder and the voice recorder from the flight deck number one priority and how it should be fairly easy to recover these devices because the crash of flight ninety three had to happen over land that should be easier to discover during cover these devices which are located at the back of the plane and they can withstand even high velocity impacts and they record hundreds of sets of data so once these devices have been recovered it should be easier for investigators to paint a picture of what happened on this crucial flight ok so on the search is on right now for those important recorders kristoff kober for us thanks very much christophe
7:11 am
. we're going to check in now as some of the other stories making the news at this hour an indonesian woman held on suspicion of killing the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un has been freed after charges were dropped city and a vietnamese woman work used in poisoning kim jong the nerve agent at kuala lumpur airport two years ago. in syria the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces have resumed notary operations against so-called islamic state in goo's operations had paused to allow more civilians to be evacuated more than sixty thousand people have been displaced by fighting there as syrian government forces prepared to retake the jihad as final on clay in the country. in india's capital delhi crowds have gathered to mark sixty years since tibet's spiritual leader the dalai lama fled his home on a list of failed uprising against chinese rule he's been living in exile in india
7:12 am
ever since tens of thousands of tibetans were killed during that failed revolt in nineteen fifty nine estimated one hundred thousand to buttons have fled their country. while eight years ago today japan was struck by a triple disaster that the country is still recovering from a massive earthquake off the northeast coast triggered a tsunami that devastated coast lehrer's and crippled the fukushima nuclear plant three of its six reactors went into meltdown always a day that changed that nation will join our correspondent there in a moment but first here's a look back at the disaster itself. because click on march eleventh two thousand and eleven with all the cross japan it was the strongest ever recorded in the country. within thirty minutes after the quake
7:13 am
a giant tsunami overwhelms the country's coast sweeping everything in its path. more than eight hundred thousand people lost their lives and more than one hundred thousand were forced to flee. and that was before the flooding caused the fukushima power plant to go into meltdown and japan will be dealing with the consequences of that for decades. ok for more let's cross over now to japan where do you have used here during standing by for us good morning to you know how is this anniversary being marked in japan well about half an hour ago which was two forty six pm local time there was an official ceremony held in tokyo by the government where
7:14 am
there was a moment of silence that was observed and all around the coast of the pacific coast where the tsunami hit the area they've been smaller ceremonies where families have been gathering. twenty six pm of course is the time when the earthquake struck also all the people i've been talking to know exactly what they did they remembered only as me eleven i'm just says nine eleven so everybody knows how significant a day today is. the nuclear meltdown i forgave him a forced one hundred twenty thousand people to flee their homes in that area how many of them have returned. well actually about forty to fifty thousand people still can't return the rest the seeing is within numbers is that a lot of the people who are still cons which i'm not working as an evacuee right
7:15 am
now because the designated area has been. shrunk down to a very small portion but they still support each fifty thousand people who convert sounds and all of the people who could return actually only less than a quarter of the people have returned a lot of the people also say economic reasons because they have jobs elsewhere lives elsewhere but also the thing is that people are scared of mediation there is a lot of cleanup still going on in fukushima and the local people don't trust the japanese government is telling them telling them that they homes safe now because they've become time a nation is not completely over yet trust is such a very important element in the story how is the fukushima disaster affected japanese out of tubes towards nuclear power. well the thing is from the government side surprisingly the nuclear power is being pushed right now only about two percent of the country's energy is generated by nuclear power and they want to up
7:16 am
that up to more than twenty percent by twenty sets. a lot of the people are skeptical about that actually i went to tepco the company is responsible for fukushima only remaining power plant except in fukushima which is right next to fukushima and is trying to restart their power plant there although i mean it is a lot of things that are still not clear about my lot of people are skeptical but the japanese government says that a nuclear power is very necessary because they want to meet the paris climate climate accord agreements and also because they don't want to be that dependent on other countries to give them our so energy i mean you could do that with energy within renewable energy ok so energy policy fitting into commemorations today in japan your durable for us and the hardship very thanks very much.
7:17 am
it's to venezuela now where opposition leader says he'll be asking the legislature to declare a state of alarm bell that would authorize the delivery of international aid following the catastrophic power blackout that's paralyzed the country the people of no strangers to hardship are struggling to cope and there are reports of looting . shops in the venezuelan capital smashed up and picked clean of the contents. at this supermarket in south eastern caracas people accused of taking food including pasta rice and tomato sauce were among those later arrested by security forces for looting. scenes of desperation like this are becoming more commonplace in the crisis hit south american nation. compounded by a days long power outage. that.
7:18 am
medicines were already in short supply now reports that the blackout has led to patients dying in hospitals also fueling rising anger at the government's inaction . that mechanism in its prices in venezuela has a first and last name and its nicolas maduro it's time to understand that the humanitarian crisis is not political it's social venezuelan's a dying because there are no solutions and why so soon meanwhile those fortunate enough to get power from a generator of finding new uses for their refrigerators. they move to mean i had a refrigerator where was storing food but it can also fit medicine was there are many people who need to store them at least as far as insulin is concerned that young women aren't the only saline i know. but many businesses have been without power for days with their fridges off food is rotting on the shelves forcing many shop in us to cut their losses. ok i label it again i'm giving this only way
7:19 am
yesterday i gave away pizza today i'll give all this to the kids on the street i need to hear that it. as the crippling blackout drags on so does the blame game between the opposition and the president over his way and skin do now is wait for good news. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show today marks ten years since a young man walked into a school in southwest germany and opened fire psychological scars have yet to feel . but first algeria as president with a flick has returned home to algiers after a two week stay in a swiss hospital the any two year old had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed condition is returning as a protest grow in algeria against his intention to run for a fifth term. many of those who joined the march through the algerian capital
7:20 am
algiers on sunday were students and even schoolchildren like the us many schools as well as businesses remained closed as part of a general strike called to protest president beautifully his plan to run for a fixed term in office. was since i was born the only president i know is beautifully cut i would like to have another one i did not mention at the last march on friday everyone was protesting young old men women this is because we are all against the fifth was. eighty two year old beautifully has been wheelchair bound since suffering a severe stroke in two thousand and thirteen he's rarely if hit in public since. sunday's protests coincided with the ailing president's return from switzerland where he received medical treatment for an undisclosed condition in a geneva clinic fueling speculation that the ailing president is far from fit for office protests also spread to paris france is the former colonial power in algeria
7:21 am
and is home to a large ex-pat algerian population one young biochemist summed up the mood among many of her peers. much time sad not to be. that to support them but i've come today because my heart is with my fellow citizens in algeria if i was there i'd be on the streets to just say the system has to go we're sick of it. on and on and i'm out. and there were many similar protests in other parts of the francophone world. on out to the day that shattered the small town a van and then in southwestern germany ten years ago today a seventeen year old gunman stormed into his former high school and began shooting at students and teachers he killed fifteen people before eventually turning that weapon on himself today people been marking the tenth anniversary of that shooting they've been remembering the victims now even after a decade the emotional scars remain visiting the place where her daughter was
7:22 am
gunned down ten years ago is still incredibly difficult for gisela maya the day she heard the news of her daughter's death in the al-bab view high school her life changed forever if my world just fell apart it pulled the ground out from under my feet i absolutely couldn't grasp what happened it took months for my to understand that she was done so i kept resisting the very thought of. her daughter nina was one of fifteen victims that a gunman shot at the school and during his escape she was a student teacher at the school and was buried on her twenty fifth birthday the seventeen year old shooter had stolen his father's gun from an unlocked bedroom cabinet in the end he killed himself today this memorial room pays tribute to those who lost their lives in this former classroom the gunman shot the students at random. gisela maya is active in
7:23 am
the against violence in schools foundation to prevent such acts from ever happening again. one small step forward is stricter laws on private individuals storing firearms. trauma counselor albert be using i was one of the first on the scene after the shooting he helped students who had lived through the horrid experience process their emotions. i try to talk with them so they could process what they went through. that's a principle of trauma counseling people to express their feelings because it's far more harmful to suppress them to let them cry and scream if they need to. in the decade since the shooting security measures in the school have been stepped up all doors are more difficult to open from the outside and teachers try to identify challenging students early on so much for example we have
7:24 am
a school social worker who is deeply involved in the school where yet we have a project name but social cohesion and getting along with others victims' relatives try somehow to go on with their lives gisela maya has finally managed to find some inner peace. to this point child the shooter came across as a monster but he was really just a young boy a father because he didn't have the life that other cities with that image of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. that. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering in vain and in a brutal cut a contemplative place and the shadow of a fateful day. it's to moscow now where thousands of people are protesting against a draft law that would place tighter restrictions on the internet russia was one of
7:25 am
the biggest protests in the russian capital in years lawmakers say the bill will prevent foreign meddling in russia's affairs but critics say the law will increase censorship and isolate the country from the rest of the world did obvious emley sure one was at that demonstration and was talking with protestors the russian government claims that creating an autonomous internet that would be one plug from the world wide web will keep russia safe from external threats but this isn't the first restriction on the internet here and protesters and today's march are comparing the measure with a new hire and carton and some of even told me if they take the internet we'll have nothing. i'm only sure one in moscow there well turning to serbia now where a protest movement against the populace president alexander who just appears to be growing demonstrators across the country have taken to the streets for the third straight months now demanding support for democratic institutions opponents accuse the president of seizing control of the media and of fostering hate speech accusations that. the protests started after unknown assailants attacked an
7:26 am
opposition politician. once again like every saturday tanya milan of which joins tens of thousands of subs on the streets protesting against the country's state of affairs. incredible how many people turned out so nice. you can feel the end it's only a fantastic. seven years middle class has had enough the angry at the country's political class and the widespread corruption and nepotism plaguing the. we want to live genuinely free democratic alliance to do with you but i feel trapped in this country how's that urban east. i'm young and i don't want to have to move to germany i want to build my life here i want to make it. my country that's the protesters blame right wing populist president who church and his being progressive party government which held
7:27 am
a firm grip on society in the past anyone who wanted to make it in serbia had to go through them but today the country lots any credible political opposition that could bring change. this isn't about the opposition making demands this is about ordinary seven people expressing their discontent we don't represent any patterns we manage demanding that so be it become a decent country in which the constitution laws and rules are respected like in any normal democracy the. fact and film producer brownies left three one of each is one of the protest movements best known figures he wants the e.u. to put much more pressure on serbia to on a basic democratic rights. since. the. new you can practically sense something is wrong. with them as they can it's much easier for brussels to walk from the sidelines until everything is over. that pains me. the e.u.
7:28 am
is hypocritical its conduct was. still that's what's happening today it's a big bonus and most of the so some of the protesters feel the e.u. has abandoned them even so they'll keep marching so that someday hopefully things will improve in serbia. coming up after a short break it's the bonus lego was cross-current to a blizzard in march that's what greeted labor crews and when they came to hand over for their sunday night class how much of a role did the snow play that much more on the books like. the state of the news live from berlin i'm brian thomas don't forget you can always get the latest at our website dot com.
