2:06 pm
aircraft has crashed we know if there was a link between these crashes. well that's the that's the point that that's the big question here and the answer is we don't know yet the first question chris you're referring to was lion air last october seventy seven off the coast of jakarta there appears to be a link to new software that boeing introduced on the max in that particular crash which is supposed to help the pilots control the aircraft during a climb among others. i have not seen any evidence. that the same system could have played a role in the us you know canary islands crash so far budget obviously it's early days these investigations can take months and sometimes years to find out what happened and yet china and ethiopia already said they're going to ground all boeing
2:07 pm
max eight planes do you think we're going to see similar announcements from other countries or aviation companies well we've seen both. both reactions i mean china has grown of the fleet if you look on the ground of the fleet others are continuing. we question is whether the u.s. carriers will continue flying the aircraft i believe they will going has indicated there is nothing they know that would. force or would. encourage people to not fly the aircraft anymore. china's particular case the chinese government is extremely important cautious as far as aviation safety is concerned so there is i wouldn't necessarily be used as kind of the blueprint for other countries to follow. all right speaking to us there earlier now to some other stories making headlines around the world an indonesian woman held on suspicion of killing the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un has been freed after

2:10 pm
standards like a common minimum wage come combo is economical successor as leader of the christian democrats and it may well succeed her as chancellor. more on the story with our political correspondent report video of who joins us by rupert so come combo and michael have both set out their views on europe how different are they. well the biggest difference first of all is that the french president published his proposals as a french president meanwhile on could come come by as only party leader here in germany of the conservative party and some here in germany say this is an answer not according to protocol many in germany would have liked to see had to hear something from german chancellor merkel but i doubt that said to my call would have been very much different to the one on a good come come this successor. as party leader would have been on
2:11 pm
a good come combo says yes to strengthening the european union especially when it comes to security policy especially when it comes to strengthening the external borders which in the end means trying to sell to europe for from more refugees coming in but she says no to deep integration of europe in social policies she said no to a common minimum wage that mccall proposed and she also said no to taking a shared burden when it comes to debt so the biggest difference between them two is the fundamental question how much europe do we really want. cause aiming for a deeper integration while on a good come come by seems to be pleading for more of the same for the status quo so report would you say that these are two differing views on europe exposes a new risk between germany and france. on a good come column has been asked this question today by german newspaper devoted
2:12 pm
and thomas there was no there is no rift between our countries and the differences we see here are the ones we have had for many many years but we must say that with that it shows that there's a certain misunderstanding between france and germany these two nations have been dumped in the past the engine that drives your rypien that drives europe and but what we see is that mccaw has been making proposals in the last two years on how to reform europe and insincere to sions the answer from germany always was. more or less silence and so that shows that there is some misunderstanding between these two countries on how far european integration should go and that makes the european engine start and work for just briefly if you can as you pointed out it was very noble in not chancellor merkel who wrote this letter this response and some conservatives are even suggesting that the chancellor should step down before
2:13 pm
her term ends in two thousand and twenty one and hand over to come come about what do you make of that. well of course this shows that on a great come columbine or tries to make some point here tries to. make tries to try to find a position of own in the political sphere here in germany and it shows a little bit that. is of course losing some sort of power since the moment she has announced that she wouldn't run anymore for translate in two thousand and twenty one we see that within her own party especially the conservatives try out on how far they can go and they also trialled on how far they can go with the new party leader on the great comeback combo but in order to replace americal you need a little bit more because there's also the coalition partners the social democrats and they have already said they wouldn't vote for anybody else than uncle americal as chancellor of a group of redeveloped thank you very much your work
