on europe's refugee crisis but the director missed opening day he was stuck in moscow and not by choice. i'm sumi so much gunboats good to have you with us both black boxes from an ethiopian airlines flight that crashed outside addis ababa on sunday morning has been located the boeing seven thirty seven x. eight jet went down six minutes after taking off bound for nairobi all one hundred fifty seven people on board were killed the crash has raised concerns over the safety of the seven thirty seven model involved a new design for boeing. after daybreak red cross workers retrieve the personal items of those on board the flight. while investigators recover the wreckage. a large crater marks the

spot of impact a cattle farmer who was heading to the field witnessed the crash. i heard this big noise. the village said it was a plane crash and we rushed to the site. it was so much smoke that we couldn't even see the plane parts of it were does integrating and exploding so we couldn't get any closer. ethiopian authorities are leading the search aided by the u.s. kenya and others as the country held a day of mourning the airline announced they were grounding their seven three seven max fleet other countries are following suit because the same boeing model crashed just five months ago in indonesia. the victims of sunday's accident include people from thirty five countries in nairobi the united nations environment assembly paid tribute to their colleagues who died on the way to the conference. to be more.

let us be free. to travel and work far from their homes and local ones who have made a bet the place to live there you know that nation's ofis at nairobi is ready to support all dispatch by this tragedy the crash has affected people across the world and they are hoping the investigation will tell them why their loved ones didn't make it home. our correspondent melanie credible is following the story for us from nairobi she has more information about the victims of yesterday's plane crash. this is the nairobi where flight three hundred two was expected to arrive yesterday morning this is about family friends and colleagues have been waiting for hours for their loved ones for a plane which never arrived and everyone has asked the question how could this have happened if you have been atlantis one of the biggest carious here in africa it's

widely respected but reliability poured safety but only in the region but around the globe there are concerns growing however that something could be wrong with the plane model the boeing seven thirty seven next eight had only been purchased by. four months ago it is a brand new model that has only been delivered wild wide three hundred times but it is the second time in six months it has been involved in a major plane crash the last crash last year of the indonesian coast also just a few minutes after takeoff so the similarities a striking but of course it's too early yet to say who or what is to be blamed for this tragic incident. our correspondent melanie cried to ball there we have our aviation expert christopher coke here with us in studio now hi chris we mentioned that the two black boxes have now been located what are investigators looking to glean from that said it's two black boxes not one so first we have the voice

recorder from the flight deck which records everything that's being said inside the cockpit. should be fairly easy to to analyze and secondly there's the flight data recorder which records hundreds of sets of data from from the moment the plane takes off so speed altitude training so. you know that might be more difficult to analyze because first needs to be determined which is still usable from from the recorder and once you have it it needs to be analyzed if it adds up to the picture that it seems to be and if this picture is. plausible of what happened on this on this tragic flight so i'm guessing if you're looking for a time frame couple of weeks tell us more about this plane max a boeing seven thirty seven max what can you tell us about the this model well it's hard to under state the importance of the seven three seven max for boeing it is

a new generation of boeing's very successful seven three seven serious which has been around for over fifty years throughout the world flown flown by by many carriers by many airlines now the seven three seven max features a new engine type which is supposed to be more fuel efficient which is very important to airlines this is these these days and it has a backlog of five over five thousand orders with boeing so there's no other airplane that is in such high demand when it comes to boeing and what it has to store what countries companies are worth leasing china indonesia all announcing that they're going to to ground these boeing jets what does that mean for manufacturers it is no doubt a difficult time for boeing i mean any crash involving deaths obviously is but the question arising now whether this is a reoccurring problem with this with this fatal outcome is certainly

a real crisis for boeing and you have to understand it is a really tough decision for airlines to ground the jet because obviously that means losing revenue but ultimately it is a decision whether over over passenger safety so the issue here must be really pressing for airlines to take that step and so far strangely enough or interesting enough has instructed his customers so the airlines not to change anything on how they handle the play so they say there's no new instructions no new manual just keep on doing what you're doing we stand by our product but if investigation shows that there's something systematically wrong with the seven three seven max serious boeing would have a real problem at their hands all right our aviation expert christopher koper thank you for your analysis. let's catch up now on some other stories making news around the world iran's president hassan rouhani has started a three day visit to neighboring iraq his first official visit as president he was

i absolutely couldn't grasp what happened and it took months for him to understand that she was done so if i kept resisting the very thought of it could be up to. her daughter nino was one of fifteen victims that a gunman shot at the school and during his askey. 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 meyers active in the against violence in schools foundation to prevent such acts from ever happening again. one small step forward

a stricter laws on private individuals storing firearms. trauma counselor i'll bet b. singer was one of the first on the scene after the shooting he helps students who had lived through the horrific experience process their emotions. i tried to talk with them so they could process what they went through. lead and i had to that's a principle of trauma counseling high's is also encourage people to express their feelings because it's far more harmful to suppress them to let them cry and scream if they need to realize we see those winds. in the decades since the shooting security measures in the school have been stepped up doors are more difficult to open from the outside and teachers try to identify challenging students early on. so much for example we have a school social worker who is deeply involved in a school. project name but social cohesion and getting along with others. relatives of the victims try somehow to go on with their lives. meyer 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 that other said that image of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil as. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering in winnenden a brutal cut a contemplate of place and the shadow of a fateful day. 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 since the ice show was accused of poisoning kim jong nam with a nerve agent at kuala lumpur airport two years ago but another suspect from vietnam is still on trial. relief.

even a smile city ayesha is finally a free woman often murder charges against her unexpectedly dropped. they have to feel so happy. i didn't expected. today is my freedom day the way. it was. the engine the shim was one of two women held on suspicion of killing came jong nam this strange tough brother of the north korean leader kim jong un. c.c.t.v. footage from february twenty seven teen shows him a kuala lumpur international airport in malaysia at this point it's alleged the women smeared the deadly nerve agent x. three on his face. here he's seen describing to security guards want happened and is a schoolteacher to the medical clinic at the airport just minutes later he collapsed

he died on the way to hospital. the city i show has always denied murder claiming she and another woman were tricked into carrying the nerve agent by north korean spies part of a prank for a reality t.v. show we stew truly believe she's really a scapegoat and she's innocent. there was no direct evidence that she had played anything on you don't know the fact that those that will follow you not have to be in the city i shall vote for don t. one of the other person accused of kim jong un's assassination no such reprieve the vietnamese seen here on the left is sent to be traumatized that she has not also been freed. it's still unclear why c t i sure has been released but having faced execution she can now enjoy getting hand life back.

earlier i talked to our correspondent boss and heartache who is following the story from bangkok i asked him what was behind the decision to release the defendant now . well it seems to me what's behind that decision is a letter by the indonesian government to the malaysian attorney general weighing in on city isis behalf saying you see thought she was part of a reality show she was playing a prank also citing the long standing and good relations between the two countries and placing the blame squarely on north korea saying that the north korean intelligence services made. their tool and that's why they are asking the malaysian attorney general to reconsider which he apparently did because the charges were dropped she wasn't acquitted but she was released what that means is that the trial could be taken up again if new evidence were to emerge for example but she is

allowed to travel to indonesia so it seems to be that's it for her so we but as we saw another descent and a woman from vietnam is still in custody why was she not for a. very good question and also a question that her lawyers are asking as well saying they are they're requesting that the charges against her be dropped as well because she was charged using the same evidence and they're saying that following the principle of equality the charges against her should should be dropped as well and it's not only them saying that it's also her father in vietnam has spoken out and he said he doesn't understand it either why was the indonesian suspect released he asked and not his daughter so those are questions that are better still up in the air and we'll have to see how the malaysian authorities are going to deal with this if they're going to drop the charges against her as well so far they haven't. yes and heartache for us there in bangkok now the east german city of ken metz made international
