9:04 am
joins us now from nairobi where that flight was heading noni good morning to you details have been emerging of who was on that flight what we know this morning. brian we know that people from all over the world on this plane according to our 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 banned 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 fiance his mother had died someone else was in ethiopia an aid worker called tom wrote to him and see he was working
9:05 am

9:06 am
ones to arrive today we do not have confirmation yet but it looks like the president himself could be heading out to the airport today i've been seeing military and ceremonial units. form well 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. known the curve the ball for us in nairobi at the airport where that flight was headed thanks very much for that moment to. our aviation editor christophe kober joins us now for more on this good morning christophe china has decided as a result of this crash to ground all of its seven thirty seven exits and that's right if you have vision administration says in about two hours from now all ninety six seven three seven max aircraft that are operated by janie's carriers need to stay on the ground until further notice the u.s.
9:07 am
already says this is in line with the principle of zero tolerance for security risks now this move is quite significant because it applies to about one fourth of the global seven three seven max fleet and it comes after open air lines as well as cayman airways have also ground their. fleet meanwhile boeing says it has no new guidance for the operators of this aircraft ok so safety is of course important for boeing is it and that the airline type the boeing seven thirty seven is a work force for so many airlines around the world what do you tell us about the mac's version well it's a new generation of this type of plane it's boeing's fastest selling plane about three hundred fifty. models are in operation right now more than five thousand have been ordered because it's supposed to be more fuel efficient it also features new software so it's it's somewhat represents not only to the future of flying for
9:08 am
boeing but also the future for the company now this is the second time this exact same type of aircraft as crash we saw lying airlines of the but what for five months ago similar crash there in the show is there any link or is it two or. to talk about that is quite early to talk about that however there are similarities that are hard to ignore both were virtually brand new planes apart from the fact that it was this very same type of thing both brand new both featuring problems or facing problems in the same stage of flight right after takeoff and although we should not jump to conclusions there are some indicators that both planes behave similarly right before the crash and this is raising eyebrows and we will know more once we have the black box the voice recorder the search continues for that right that's right the intensified search for these two devices because the flight data recorder as well as the voice recorder from the flight that they report hundreds of sets of data and they can even withstand you know really hard impact as you know in
9:09 am
this case happened crashing into the ground with flight three hundred two so once these devices are recovered which hopefully will happen rather quickly. then you know investigators can paint a rather detailed picture of what happened on this flight and chris more from you later in this hour on the story writer because of cobra for us thanks very much. i'll check in with some of the other stories making the news 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 are accused of poisoning kim's on naam with a nerve agent at kuala lumpur airport two years ago. in moscow thousands of people have protested against a draft law that would place tight restrictions on the internet in russia all makers say this bill will prevent for an interview or is but critics say it will
9:10 am
increase censorship and isolate the country and 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 the advance of calls to allow more civilians to be evacuated some sixty thousand people have been displaced by fighting there as s.d.f. forces prepared to retake the jihad ists final on place in the country. oh eight years ago today japan was struck by a triple disaster the nation is still recovering from a massive earthquake off the north coast triggered a tsunami that devastated coastal areas and crippled the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant three of its six reactors went into meltdown. well was a day that changed the nation will join our correspondent there in a moment but first let's look back at the disaster itself. but the earthquake on march eleventh twenty eleven was felt all across japan it was
9:11 am
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. 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 did i hear derleth standing by for us
9:12 am
here good to see you how is this anniversary being marked in japan today. well at two forty six pm exactly japan time that's when the earthquake struck there was an official ceremony held in tokyo and the moment of silence was observed there also up and down the pacific coast where the actual tsunami struck they've been smaller ceremonies by the families they're also offering some solace in their commemoration and it 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 of the nuclear meltdown caused one hundred fifty thousand people to flee their homes how
9:13 am
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 a quarter of the people who have returned and they cite economic reasons but well so 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 is 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
9:14 am
of the country's energy 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 a day which is right next to fukushima prefecture in execution. the thing is that the japanese government says that it is necessary nuclear power is necessary to ensure that they need to cob an august i'm 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 but critics say that could also happen with renewable and it's because of energy policy in the backgrounds of areas as japan marks of 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

american nation. compounded by a day's long power outage. medicines were already in short supply now reports that the blackout has led to patients dying in hospitals also shooting rising anger at the government's inaction on the guy that mechanism of the crisis 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 dying 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 moved on even had a refrigerator where was storing food but it can also fit medicines there are many people who need to store them. at least as far as insulin is concerned yes young women don't have the money for the no no. but many businesses have been without

power for days with effigies off food is rotting on the shelves forcing many shop ignace to cut their losses they gotta live the life again i'm giving this only way yesterday i gave away pizza today i'll give all of this to the kids on the street that you feel that it. has the crippling blackout 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. now to the day that shattered the small town of vin and in southwestern germany ten years ago on march eleventh two thousand and nine 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 the weapon on himself today people have been marking the tenth anniversary of the shooting they've been remembering the victims even after
9:18 am
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 the news of her daughter's death in the high school her life changed forever it's 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 it could be up to. 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
9:19 am
random. is active in the against violence and schools foundation to prevent such acts from ever happening again one small step forward is stricter laws on private individuals storing firearms. trauma counsellor i bet easing 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 can because it's far more harmful to suppress them and let them cry and scream if they need to. change. 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
9:20 am
to identify challenging students early on the mission for example we have a school social worker involved in a school. project and aimed at social cohesion and getting along with others. relatives of the victims try somehow to go on with their lives these are the maya has finally managed to find some inner peace. or taught this point child the shooter came across as a monster but he was really just a young boy full of it because he didn't have the life that others and that inch of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. disputant. indecent bid to start. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering in vain and in a brutal cut to contemplate of place in the shadow of the fateful day. in algeria president adela zs beautifully has returned home after
9:21 am

9:22 am
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 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 there 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 began as he says and on and on and i'm out. and there were many similar protests in other parts of the francophone world. i'm joined by tom get away from did ever use force now to discuss all the weekend's football headlines start good morning to you let's start with the bundesliga there were some rough winter weather wasn't there or
9:23 am
yesterday on sunday for for that a game that had over how did it affect play well yeah quite drastically unfortunately for hanover they've really had a fairly hard time with it now they hosted leverkusen which is a game in which they were. he needs that they can get their second ball in the table with the worst home record of the league level cues and on the other hand off line quite high they've got they are our eyes set on europe but unfortunately one of the heavens opened above the ground there was a copy of snow the rest just odd is that the match was playable and we can take a look and see what we think of that decision. amid the blizzard in hanover some home fans didn't look too keen to get this one started. and even live in flying under seemed as though they'd rather be elsewhere. but everyone loves it when they break the orange ball on a snow day especially it seems kevin fall and he made it one nil and thirteen
9:24 am
minutes after couldn't handle a slippery shot after a brief stoppage to clear the lanes folland was at it again lifting the ball over the snow. to make it to no one twenty minutes. it might have cleared the lanes but nobody had managed to clear the penalty area. to get chief and to his chagrin. tough times all the boxes cleared. the japanese did eventually play his part in a goal setting up to cut the deficit on fifty one minutes and the whole sensationally levelled on seventy three minutes after mitchell visor put through his own net but. this season was to continue as chi haven't sealed the points. and went for a spot of sledging to celebrate. still very much in the chase for a champions league spot overlooking creasing lee resigned to relegation. for it to
9:25 am
see the game going on. now one of the biggest stories coming out of the bundesliga certainly is one we've heard so many times surprise surprise back at the top of the boom is there yet again we've reached that point in the season they won six. saturday. and doormen who of course have been on top also one actually three one of the but that means that by munich on goal difference now for the sake of the league i think probably has to hope that there is still going to be some tension still a bit of excitement going towards the end of the season because. to see this out would be the seventh target in a row. i mean the table is put together a marriage yet they've they've done fantastically well over the past few weeks they're really in the ascendancy so it's going to be exciting and there's a sea of dortmund to make a difference or let's leave the business leader for the talk about one of the stories a lot of football fans are discussing today the unfortunate situation out on a british football pitch what is going on right so yesterday in the second city
9:26 am
darby between birmingham city and aston villa in england a fan managed to climb on to the page of to ten minutes of play and punch a player on the back of the head i was quite shocking pictures that were about to say. they happened to aston villa's jack and greenish who. in fact went on to school to win that game so it's fair to say you have the last lot of minutes to become self up and dozens of down the fan has since been arrested. a similar thing then happened later today in the match between austin and manchester united where another fan invaded the pitch and got very close and i just you know it's it's christe smally a similar thing had also happened on friday evening in a game between he bernie and ranges in edinburgh in the scottish premier league so for all of these incidents to happen on one weekend for it's really quite worrying now there are of course no fences in british football grounds between the stands and the pitch but the authorities are going to have to find a solution for this kind of thing to stop happening but they will want to dumb tom
