flight contact as it left at us ababa airport just six minutes after takeoff passengers from thirty five countries were aboard the plane heading to the kenyan capital nairobi one it was fine flying weather but still the boeing seven three seven crashed tiny pieces of debris left behind the pilot sent out a distress signal and then just six minutes off to take off the plane hit the ground in nairobi kenya people gathered to wait for flight three zero to survival but it never landed. at first there was confusion and complaints about the lack of information. everyone was asking. me was not his company but no one listening and you're just going up and down until one of the possible just sold is more likely to trust the justice process.

a decent a by as the afternoon wore on a sickening realize i should sit in for passengers loved ones. those who departed there on sunday morning were never coming home today is a very sad and tragic day for all of us. who are on board. eighty ip a civil aviation authorities now tosk with leading the project investigators hope to find clues amid the mangled wreckage explaining how this new boeing plane could crash site fost answers to this tragedy which can't come fast enough for ethiopians they've been gathering at the crash site the shock and grief this is caused is writ large on the faces of people then. our correspondent melanie heard the balls following the story for us in nairobi where that plane was headed says more details about the victims of yesterday's crash.

details about the people from all over the world who are on board if the plane which never arrived here in nairobi are emerging according to canyon has the highest number of casualties but thirty two followed by canada with eighteen if european lost nine and italy the u.s. and china all had eight nationals on board the list of their names has been published and we're learning more about the people behind these numbers one of them for example was. he was born and raised in mombasa studied law in washington d.c. and was on his way to nairobi because the mother of his fiance had died and now the victim is the ethiopian aid worker. messy he worked for save the children was described by his colleagues as someone with tired lessly worked to protect vulnerable children in humanitarian crises there were also a lot of you and staffers on board of the plane they were heading to nairobi where the assembly where the u.n. environment program is taking place this week they would have come to discuss the

future of our planet but of course these are just a few stories about the people who lost their lives in yesterday's tragic crash. our aviation editor christophe coburn joins us now for more on this good morning christophe china has decided as a result of this crash to the 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. 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 ethiopia open air lines as well as cayman airways have also ground their seven three seven max fleet meanwhile boeing says it has no new guidance for the operators of this aircraft

ok so safety is of course an important for boeing is it and there's 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 max 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 has been ordered because it's supposed to be more fuel efficient it also features and software so it's it's somewhat represents not only the future of flying for boeing but also the future for the company now this is the second time this exact same type of aircraft as crash from salt lion airlines them to but what four five months ago a similar crash there is there any link or is it too early 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's the very same

type of plane 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. there are some indicators that both planes behave similarly right before the crash and this is raising eyebrows among us and we will know more once we have the black box the voice recorder the search continues for that that's right the intensified search for these two devices because the flight data recorder as well as divorce 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 this case happened crashing into the ground with flight three zero 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 right because of cobra for us thanks very much.

forces the looting. scenes of desperation like this are becoming more commonplace in the crisis hit south american nation all 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 fueling rising anger at the government's inaction was that legacy in many cases 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 and why so soon meanwhile those fortunate enough to get power from a generator of finding new uses for their refrigerators. they move on even have

on south it was a rare event here in germany which is seen three school shootings since the one nine hundred sixty s. many relatives and survivors of one in ten are calling for greater gun controls now for them even after a decade the 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 and that about the high school her life changed forever if my world just fell apart if 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 for us i kept resisting the very thought of it could be up to. her daughter nina was one of fifteen victims that a 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 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 counseling i bet 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 can because it's

far more harmful to suppress them 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 to identify challenging students early on for example we have a school xhosa worker deeply involved in the school we have a project name but 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. to top 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 in other cities and that image of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. into some good for. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering
