eyewitnesses describe the horror of the crash and the aftermath. fire was coming out from its tail and then it tried to lift its nose but it couldn't was going from side to side it went straight into the ground nose first then exploded. but they could you know there were a lot of kenyans on it i saw identification documents of a universe student from america. and i think i saw pictures of ethiopians and chinese people at the university. in new york the united nations flag has been flying at half mast among the dead for twenty one united nations staff. a global treasure the as it's close to home and the united nations is united in grief. i extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims to the government of people of each. and oh these

affected by these these awesome. ethiopian authorities are leading the search aided by the u.s. kenya and others. the airline has announced its grounding at seven thirty seven max fleet and other countries are following suit the same boeing model crashed just five months ago in indonesia as investigators look into the air plane's flight recorders people around the world are hoping for answers to why their loved ones didn't make it home. and for more on this tragedy now i'm joined by the journalist colletto one show he's standing by for us in addis ababa it is good to see you want to ask you we know that these black boxes have been recovered do we know any more about the cause of the crash to not know at the moment well you know what is that it is some relief after the recovery of the black boxes because not been elements

and that and even the citizens are saying that not it would be easy to get a guideline to what decisions should flow because over the can be able to get to the audio recording of the of the pilot maybe he's fast as he said and their feet i mean the fleet professionals on board and they can also be able to understand what really happened before the last while it's got them what you have been and also the black boxes and that is that if you leave because now they can be able to get the flight status how was it before it reaches you went down so that is all is happening all that's happening from now on the plane technical support team these you notice about ready to assist ethiopian airlines to go forth even to get chutes we understand if airlines have grounded their boeing seven thirty seven max eight fleet what more can you tell us about that. yes i. have six of these and respect him more but it is not one of the five remaining ones can go back to the

skies until. there is proof that there was no technical each with the plane that went down now this means that a different balance has to try to dig into their feet and try to dave to use some of the a bigger plane that was supposed to go to other groups to get up with it was that we had these fleet of seventy seven or eight months as a bullet was supposed to go but at the other i mean not that one hundred is also assured of the air as trying to shore it see it is it i mean sort of it's it's just india's and its potential customers that it cares that it put safety first and it does also all or nothing to really emphasize that grounding if i mean if it doesn't mean that this isn't the goal but the disguise but at the moment not once did he care if this like i mean this week you go back and it's getting these guys and this story of course getting a lot of international attention but what has been the reaction from the ethiopian government. well if you've been going to must have been the most short because we

cannot imagine that a plane crash happened just fifty kilometers away from the capital addis ababa and the prime minister was the first person to create even for it to be balanced if you just came out to see it was a plane crash he tweeted and sent out can dismiss it does that mean that shows you these kind of well defined reaction and also the chickens also really believe because we know that lots of it gives them want apart from the for the crew members also other citizens what plan to nairobi or connecting to other friends through these two of these particular flight so if humans come to believe it and not. like that's how it must be parliament has declared it a deal of money to deal with the deal of money that media here really is the internet for grannies destroying beaches of condos need to come bills and keeping the cities of complete has to be makes that is cool and all that because it does really touched each and even pass muster in the bush so. joining reporting from ethiopia tonight with the latest on what is now an investigation into the cause of

that plane thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world u.s. backed syrian forces say they're making slow advances into the last village held by islamic state jihad a spokesman says that troops are battling militants holed up in underground tunnels in grooves which is near the iraqi border in eastern syria the offensive resumed on sunday after a deadline for militants to surrender expired. u.s. president donald trump's twenty twenty budget proposal has been delivered to capitol hill you see it right there he's seeking eight point six billion dollars for his mexico border wall project as well as increase spending on defense he's also looking for big cuts to non-defense spending like environmental and welfare programs spain has been marking the fiftieth anniversary of the terror attack that killed one hundred ninety three people in the capital madrid prime minister pedre sanchez and city officials later wreaths at

a memorial on march eleventh two thousand and four bombs planted by al qaida terrorists exploded on four crowded commuter train it's. over its way that has been forced to halt most of its oil exports following a power blackout that has paralyzed much of the country on the fifth day of power outages the people of venezuela are struggling to cope there are reports of looting authorities have been unable to say when the problem will be resolved the country's president is blaming it on an act of sabotage backed by the united states but critics say that the power outage is a result of corruption and mismanagement. well as you can imagine venezuelans have been using social media to share their experiences and to do what they can do to help each other our digital reporter i mean as it has been looking into that i mean i mean it's terrible it's bad enough when the lights are turned off but then to find out that people are dying or in hospitals for example what have you found

online well it seems that in a lot of ways venezuelans are using social media first and foremost as a media journalist in venezuela have reported that if you turn on a t.v. you're more more likely to see a soap opera an actual coverage of the disaster that's going on there right now so people are sharing information reports about looting water shortages i mean it's unbelievable how how much have a power outage can wreak on a country is not just electricity it's everything so they're sharing reports about this. we've also found a photo that somebody posted to social media of a phone charging station where people can load their their cell phones it cost a dollar it says for ten minutes charge and i keep in mind that in venice with us dollars are kind of hard to come by so that's definitely a privilege to charge your phone there so we did use charging the dollar he was charging for the i don't know it's unclear but there's also people sharing videos of more personal things like this photo of a child doing homework by candlelight but also the stories of people sharing things

on social media trying to share resources and to help each other as well you know what kind of help are they offering well everything from. well one one big thing is doctors trying to share their resources now if you know that hospitals are just as affected by this even more so than the rest of the country because they depends a critically on electricity there so they're having to rotate people out on certain things like dialysis which is a matter of life and death so people with less critical condition conditions get pushed to the back of the line and we've seen doctors posting on social media offering their services for free for less pressing conditions we've also encountered food preservation is a major complaint of people there if you can imagine without a refrigerator you can't keep your your meat your milk fresh and so you might go hungry if you're not able to buy food or to keep it preserved so we found a video that a chef a young chef in caracas posted to instagram where she explains how to keep your

food fresh without a refrigerator. what can we do to preserve our food while we have no electricity and proteins can be rolled in silt by posting sultana bo and covering the protein with us being keep it contained in the fridge to stop us absorbing too much air and prevent it spoil and vegetables can be kept in vinegar and only use vinegar if there's no water to cover it with cloths to keep it cool yeah that's how to conserve that doubles and i want to ensure it isn't the same city as the mother of invention there you'd find ways to survive in this is it's a horrible situation but you say you've found something uplifting in all this darkness it's right journalist from venezuela. gonzalez posted a video of a wedding that she attended almost completely in the dark with just people using flash as we have a video for you here as you can see it was kind of a special moment they decided to go through with it without electricity and she

wrote in the tweet where she posted this in the midst of chaos and pain that all venezuelans feel this image shows that no one can stop our determination to overcome adversity so there's a lot of stories of their people dealing with this blackout and clever and creative ways but of course if this continues not only things are going to get worse for venezuelans but social media will be an active and we won't get these stories exactly we're going to people fear will be the next step in this. blackout if we appreciate your reporting of their fascinating information about the blackout but it's where the thank you. or today the small german town of then and paused and remembered what happened exactly ten years ago in two thousand and nine a seventeen year old gunman stormed into his former high school and opened fire killing fifteen people and then turning the gun on himself it was a rare and shocking act of violence here in germany which has seen only three

school mass shootings since the one nine hundred sixty s. a decade later relatives and survivors still bear the scars many of them are calling for tighter gun control. just being the place where her daughter was gunned down ten years ago is still incredibly difficult for gisela meyer the day she heard the news of her daughter's death and the other view high school her life changed forever. if my world to spill apart if it pulled the ground out from under my feet i absolutely couldn't grasp what happened it took months for him to understand that she was done 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 meyer is active in the against violence in schools foundation to prevent such acts from ever happening again. one small step forward to stricter laws on private individuals storing firearms. trauma counselor i'll bet be singer 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 encourage 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 by an inch. in the decade 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. we want to mention for example we have a school social worker people involved in the school we have projects name but social cohesion and getting along with others. relatives of the victims try somehow to go on with their lives. gisela meyer has finally managed to find some inner peace. to this point the shooter came across as a monster but he was really just a young boy full of the hate because he didn't have to live in another city that inch of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. spirit and. 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. yeah i remember exactly what happened ten years ago with me now here in the studio isabella wiser colliers he's director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the berlin charts a hospital which is one of the main hospitals here in berlin it's good to see you again i want to ask you we just saw how difficult it is for the relatives of the victims to admit that their sons or that their daughters are actually dead i mean it is repression that seems to be typical but how typical is that type of repression when you're ten years after the fact well ten years after the fact such of repression is really unusual it's really unusual and it's probably only affecting a few of them but in the first days and even weeks it is if you will normal a normal reaction you don't want to realize that a terrible thing has happened and that your child who was supposed to be in a very safe place girls are supposed to be safe is dead shot for no

apparent reason so it's very normal to have a denial and disbelief in the first few days and weeks but after ten years it is unusual and one has to suspect that there that there is a real need for psychological help the the authorities. the principal of the school the counselors they have they've been lauded publicly for what they did immediately after the shooting in your opinion what did they do right did they get it right i think they did a formidable job yes they did get it right first they just offered. help safe spaces to the people who were acutely shocked and afterwards they supplied help by trained trauma experts who would not force any kind of treatment or conversation onto the traumatized people but who

would wait and see if somebody needs help and would always be available for help i think that is really important and then there was this lady i think miss myers her name who then started a movement a community led movement for more gun control oh or and i think it has sort of sort of spread out into a movement where you. also look more closely on to internet or social media bullying because that's a big part of. also what motivates some of these. shooters in coping with a trauma like that social media you know as social media helped the survivors from

the school shooting i don't really think so because it is social media might help to. tell people we're going to gather for this and discourse there and there but you really need somebody physically present. and you need to have the feeling there is somebody you can touch or who can touch you. that is that is very important in these kind of circumstances you never be replaced for example can't is of illinois or caller we appreciate you coming in and sharing your insights thank you sean. i'm studying music from spain all the media from our sports desk is here to talk about the shock return of xina dean dawn is that correct. right as head coach at real madrid for what just nine months exactly yeah it's kind of a bolt from the blue that he's come back over the last few days people have been tipping another former real madrid to make a sensational return to what would have been they said even though it's

a surprise this does make a lot of sense you know saddam was incredibly successful in his first palace coach he knows the club inside out he knows the players from having met with him just nine months ago and you know he is definitely a legend a relative as well his reputation is as good as untouchable on top of that he was out of work so they didn't have to pay compensation to another club to get out of it out long enough to have a baby exactly bit of a shock to the books is what he was forced to give back is it up. it all went downhill after he left i mean first they had the catastrophe if you are not the tag it basically got fired from the spain national team job on the eve of the world cup because ralph announced that he was coming in as a down successor it didn't work out and he was gone after a few months of complete catastrophe that. the lhari came in actually played with back in atlanta things didn't really improve much thought that why of the pace in the late the white van bottom line the hated rivals humiliated in the champions league as well and that's where the don was so good he won three champions league

titles in just two and a half seasons yet a one hundred percent success rate of winning the champions league and that's what really matters to relish for it as well so he can't win it this season because they're already out but nobody would bet against him winning it mixes with records i mean i guess it's not easy either to say goodbye diseases you never say before the show but i mean is he risking an incredible legacy of. real madrid by coming back to like this absolutely brand new perfect legacy that he had and you know in football as in life they say never go back to your ex is never the scientist. inside around the gentiles risk blemish in that the legacy ralph is much less a state he would say because things just can't get a whole lot worse than they happen for the misses and they've been diabolical that he said they going into a really key phase for the club at the moment at the moment they've got a stadium refurbishment in the works that's going to cost a lot of money the squad needs to rebuild even more drastically in the stadium does that's going to cost a whole lot more money so it's done need to get it right needs to rekindle the

magic and he needs to do it fast to see if it's easy virtue is easy this time. for sports is always only thanks. and here's a reminder the top stories that we're following for you of algeria's ailing president abilities a bit of link up the house for the out of the country's of coming elections after weeks of protest against his leadership is now reshuffle his government and promise to reform the country's constitution. for the news continues here on the w. after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day stick around for the. floods
