8:03 am

8:04 am
a good morning to you details have been emerging of who was on the flight what we know this one. brian we know that people from all over the world well on this plane according to here open minds 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 them 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 mombasa he was a law student in d.c. and he was on his way to nairobi because his beyond his mother had died someone else was in ethiopia called tom wrote to him and see he was working with safe 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
8:05 am
a few of the stories the personal stories behind these numbers of the people who lost their lives yesterday in this tragic crash know only one day after the crash along with all of these personal stories what's the mood where you are. well i'm here at the apple which this is where flight eighty three zero 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 she sent 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 up and talking to a few people said that they're more anxious than ever of waiting for their loved ones to. arrived today we do not have confirmation yet but it looks like the
8:06 am
president himself could be heading out to the airport today often seeing 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. you know in the curd the ball for us in nairobi at the airport where that flight was headed thanks very much for that moment to. get more now if you don't 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. ministration says all ninety six. 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 risk we've
8:07 am
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 and it comes after ethiopian airlines also announced that it was grounding its remaining fleet of four seven three seven max 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 this is a new generation of this aircraft of the most popular aircraft around the world is the 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. it are flying around the world right now but more than four thousand are ordered at boeing so the
8:08 am
seventy seven max is bigger and wider turbines which as we find out from the ports before the party change the balance of the plane and the way it needs to be operated also. equipped. with more automated computer systems which this is a big point of could just near apparently it did not tell pilots airlines about ok now this is the second time there's been a crash of the 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 quite early stages of this investigation which is about to kick off in 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 that is crashed and both times it was a very brand new plane also the incident which led to the eventually crash happened in the same stage of the flight rather soon after after takeoff so there could be
8:09 am
a link but obviously. they could been other problems as well engine function or anything like that ok we'll know more when we find the black box flight recorder how's the search going for clues and what can we expect now 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 as it should be easier to discover a jury cover these devices located at the back of the plane 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 christophe kober for us thanks very much christophe. let's check in now with some of the other stories making the news today
8:10 am
in indonesia a woman held on suspicion of killing the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un has been freed after charges were dropped city ice yacht and a vietnamese woman burke used of poisoning kim jong nom for the nerve agent that kuala lumpur international airport two years ago. in moscow thousands of people protested against a draft law that would place much tighter restrictions on the internet and russian lawmakers say the bill will prevent foreign interference but critics say it will increase censorship and isolate the country from the rest of the world. in syria the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces have resumed military operations against so-called islamic state in bugaboos events at paul's to allow more civilians to be evacuated more than sixty thousand people have been displaced by fighting there as forces prepared to retake the jihad ists final on klav in syria.
8:11 am
well eight years ago today japan was struck by a triple disaster that the country is still recovering from a massive earthquake off the northeastern coast triggered a tsunami that devastated coastal areas and crippled the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant three of its six reactors went into meltdown. our it was a day that changed that nation will join our correspondent there in a moment first let's look back at the disaster itself. the earthquake on march eleventh twenty eleven was felt all across japan it was the strongest ever recorded in the country. within thirty minutes of the quake a giant tsunami overwhelmed the country's coast sweeping everything in its path.
8:12 am
almost sixteen thousand people lost their lives. hundreds of thousands were made homeless. and that was before the flood caused the fukushima nuclear power plant to go into meltdown japan will be dealing with the consequences of that for decades. for more let's cross over now to japan where do you. standing by for us here good to see you how is this anniversary being marked in japan today. well at two forty six pm exactly japan and time that's when the earthquake struck there was an official ceremony held in tokyo and the moment of silence was there also up and down the pacific coast where the actual tsunami struck they've been
8:13 am
smaller ceremonies by the families they're also offering some solace in their commemoration and this is the same time also have talked to a lot of people here and they say that course three eleven is something everybody remembers how it's called here in japan and it's a very significant day for the country still ok you mentioned solace that that's so important especially for the many people have who fled the contaminated area the nuclear meltdown caused one hundred fifty thousand people to flee their homes how many have returned that's quite a difficult question to answer but all in all from the designated evacuation areas there are people forty to fifty thousand people that are inside the still zone that's still an evacuation zone and the from the zones that have been designated safe they're only about
8:14 am
a quarter of the people who have returned and they cite economic reasons but also they say that there are a lot of people fearing that the japanese government is not really saying the truth and insist scared that the place is not safe and this still radiation they're ok talking about truth how has the fukushima disaster affected japanese attitudes towards nuclear power. that's quite an interesting question because japan has really returned to nuclear power right now only about two percent of the countries in the g. is generated by nuclear power but in twenty thirty it's supposed to be more than twenty percent even tepco the company that is responsible for fukushima is right now preparing itself to restart the only remaining nuclear power plant that they own which is right next to fukushima prefecture next to cuckoo shima. the
8:15 am
thing is that the japanese government says that it is necessary nuclear power is necessary to ensure that they need carbon condit them in the paris climate agreement and they also say that it's necessary because they need more energy that comes that is generated in japan the critics say that could also happen with renewable and. tests of energy policy in the backgrounds of areas as japan marks yours. thanks very much. 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 southwestern germany and opened fire the psychological star scars i've yet to feel. how we take a look at how mother nature intervened to help settle the score in a crucial honestly game between her and labor coups. but first
8:16 am
venezuela's opposition leader. will be asking the country's legislature to declare a state of alarm now that move would also rise the delivery of controversy over international aid following the catastrophic power blackout that has paralyzed the country the people of venezuela are of course struggling to cope and there are reports of looting. shops in the venezuelan capital smashed up and picked clean of contents. at this supermarket in southeastern caracas people accused of taking food including pasta rice and tomato sauce were among those later arrested by security forces the looting. scenes of desperation like this are becoming more commonplace in the crisis hit south american nation. compounded by a day's long power outage. that was.
8:17 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 on the guy that let you see him at his house is in venezuela has a first and last name and it's nicolas maduro it's time to understand that the humanitarian crisis is not political it's social venezuelan's a time because there are no solutions quite so soon meanwhile those fortunate enough to get power from a generator of finding new uses for their refrigerators. they wouldn't even have 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 i don't claim any salena 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. to get i'm giving this all away yesterday i gave
8:18 am
away pizza today i'll give all of this to the kids on the street the way that it. has the crippling blackouts drags on so does the blame game between the opposition and the president over his way and can do now is wait for good news for. now it's to the day that shattered the small town of vin and in southwestern germany ten years ago today a seventeen year old gunman stormed into his former high school and began shooting at teachers and students killed fifteen people before eventually turning that weapon on him self. today people have been marking the tenth anniversary of that shooting and remembering the victims even after a decade emotional scars remain. visiting the place where her daughter was gunned down ten years ago is still incredibly difficult for gisela maya the day she heard
8:19 am
the news of her daughter's death in the overview of 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 and it took months for my to understand that she was done so i kept resisting the very thought of it. her daughter nina was one of fifteen victims that the gunman shot at the school during his escape. she was a student teacher in the school and buried under 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 the against violence and schools foundation to prevent such acts from ever happening
8:20 am
again one small step forward is stricter laws on private individuals storing firearms. trauma counsellor i better be using i was one of the first on the scene after the shooting he helped students who had lived through the horrific 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 and let them cry and scream if they need to. change. in the decades 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 the mission for example we have a school social worker deeply involved in the school. project and aimed at social cohesion and getting along with others. relatives of the victims try somehow to go
8:21 am
on with their lives these are the maya has finally managed to find some inner peace . or taught this point child because shooter came across as a monster but he was really just a young boy i followed him a lot because he didn't have to like in others and that inch of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. indecent bit. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering in vain and in a brutal cut the contemplate of place in the shadow of the fateful day. it's to algeria now where president abdullah seized by the flicka has returned home after a two week stay at a swiss hospital the eighty two year old had been receiving medical treatment for an undisclosed condition there but if life is returning as protests grow in algeria
