12:02 am
one crash is one crash too many but when the same model goes down twice in less than half a year filled with passengers and when that model happens to be your best selling one and when china grounds all of them well then you have boeing to ny where the cost of keeping its seven thirty seven work course cash cow model in the air suddenly looks astronomically high i'm for golf in berlin this is the day. it is a brand new at a place that without it is months from. the plate it's we have a new type of aircraft that would have two accidents with seemingly similar set of circumstances we have grounded all in. point b. seventy seven dash eight marks of the seven three seven is absolutely essential
12:03 am
thing is the top bonus the company's cash generation is in this shop the stock is down today people are worried about whether there is a safety issue on boeing's claims china hate sci fi if you will quickly find the cause of the crash and keep us informed. also coming up tonight the bronx it votes held this week in the british parliament could be some of the most important political acts in the country since one thousand nine hundred five and guess who is all but guaranteed to suffer another history making defeat in the process. after three months the prime minister has not achieved one single change to deal she simply as we've often said running down the clock. and to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and over around the world welcome we begin the day searching for clues to a deadly plane crash and one company with many reasons to be worried over what
12:04 am
those clues could reveal investigators have now recovered the cockpit and flight recorders from the wreckage of ethiopian airlines flight three zero two the boeing seven thirty seven max aircraft crashed sunday killing all one hundred fifty seven people on board now this is the second crash in less than half a year involving the new boeing seven thirty seven max eight fleet it may be a tragic coincidence but the fallout suggests otherwise more than a third of all seven thirty seven max planes have now been grounded china and indonesia grounded their entire fleets today tonight the u.s. air safety regulatory authority the f.a.a. says that the seven thirty seven max is airworthy boeing's seven thirty seven max is the most common plane in the sky anywhere the seven thirty seven max is the fastest selling plane in history five thousand on the order three hundred fifty in service each with a price tag of a hundred twenty one million u.s.
12:05 am
dollars determining the cause of the crashes is now about more than saving lives boeing shares saw their sharpest drop monday since two thousand and one our first report tonight takes us to the latest crash site. i remembering the dead families and ethiopian pilots and crew remember the lives lost in sunday's crash. earlier at the crash site red cross workers retrieve the personal items of those on board while investigators recover the wreckage. a large crater marks the spot of impact eyewitnesses describe the horror of the crash and the aftermath the. 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.
12:06 am
but they could. look there were a lot of kenyans on it i saw identification documents of a university student from america could i mean i saw pictures of ethiopians and chinese people up at the university i mean i got out of i live. in new york the united nations flag has been flying at half mast among the dead a twenty one united nation staff. a global treasure the as its close to home and 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 o. these affected by these us sir. ethiopian authorities are leading the search hated by the u.s. kenya and others. the airline has announced it's grounding at seven thirty seven max fleet and other countries are following suit the same boeing model crashed just
12:07 am
five months ago in indonesia. as investigators look into the airplane'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 now i'd like to bring in aviation commentator julian bray he joins us tonight from cambridge in the u.k. mr bray it's good to have you on the show the boeing seven thirty seven max eight version it be is considered the work course for many airlines and it's already received a lot of attention let me ask you would we be this concerned if we were looking at two crashes involving a different model or an air bus manufacturer aircraft mean is there something special about the about what we're looking at with this boeing seven thirty seven max. it's very interesting question because this particular aircraft was
12:08 am
actually breaking all the rules. in syria should be able to slide it's got to change and right at the front of the aircraft well away from the wings not slung on to the thought wing was long in the front of the way and so that means that the weight of the aircraft is totally different to any other aircraft and this is where the senate comes in or the computer that comes in because they installed a secret system called the m c a s and this was actually to prevent stalling when it's nice size in a stall position so this secret computer system to make sure that the aircraft is level so the pilot can fly it really should be called a soul cheat system because the point is that no aircraft but this configuration should be and they have what do you make of the federal aviation administration's
12:09 am
announcement this evening that this model remains airworthy we've got that on one side on the other side of the planet we've got china and indonesia they grounded their entire fleet. yes in fact it's worse than that because china is now saying that there should be no. sawing chinese airspace they put a blanket ban on it and so it is a difficulty. that's just the final straw right do you think it's justified by china to to put the blanket ban on the model. but you've got to remember that buying out to play they actually assemble these aircraft in china they got a zero tolerance policy when it comes to an alliance safety and so they've said for the moment we will ground this aircraft to we find out what the size got the apne and a lot of criticism because in the early days boeing didn't actually tell the pilots
12:10 am
at this particular system was on board it's called an m c a s which is a bent taishan system basically they didn't want to load the pilots up with too much information they gave me enough so they could act to fly the aircraft effectively but then. now this is not right we need to know exactly what is on board this aircraft and. the if you like the detail of these systems was actually rolled out this is a fly by wire cross so it is a sears a computer systems that's actually flying it if one system falls and then another system is supposed to come in and pick it up and then obviously it did not happen in these two crashes if it turns out that we're talking about a software problem here is that is that good news or bad news for both of you mean
12:11 am
how easily can you correct it in order to keep this huge fleet all of these orders you know from being cancelled. well this is a problem because he got cross and then you got marketing and you really have to ask yourself whether the mocking people as too much power should reason the other way to mock seeing troops. to the actual aircraft design and rolled out so really what you call to decide is whether you're actually going to go to these wonderful marketing opportunities or whether you're going to make sure that the product you release is actually fully tested and ready for the market does see that this thing isn't quite right now i have to say this is pure speculation yes they sounded like but they have not decoded them yet so we don't know once they can do that they will find out exactly what happened on board that aircraft well you say
12:12 am
that the chinese have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to. aircraft crashing but the f.a.a. in the united states says these planes can still fly m m i reading you correctly are you saying that the chinese more than the americans tonight are erring on the side of caution. let's put it light is there's seven airlines in china and they've got about ninety four of these planes and it is also needs a decision if they've got nightfall planes or they're not too sure about the planes they want some ounces they want to quickly and the quickest way to get the answers is to say right well ground the whole lot get the engineers and get the eggs in and let us find out exactly what happens now first of all they've got the black boxes celtic zero those that will be useful the only thing is this way as a fire it drilled itself into the subsoil and this was
12:13 am
a descent straight. through to future engines were going all the time so really they must find out what is happening because you cannot carry passengers you cannot in danger passengers and crew you've got to find out what is the problem with this aircraft and certainly there is a problem having said that well we didn't have quite happily beings lying these aircraft all summer and no problems little so it is a real and they are. joining us tonight from. mr certainly appreciate your valuable insights tonight thank you. britain's bragg's destiny could very well be decided this week or maybe not beginning tomorrow members of parliament will vote on a series of questions about the u.k.'s departure from the european union on tuesday
12:14 am
lawmakers were once again but yes or no to the withdrawal plan negotiated by prime minister to resign may now keep in mind lawmakers rejected it two months ago in an unprecedented defeat for a sitting prime minister in the commons a repeat is expected tomorrow or wednesday lawmakers will then be asked to say yes or no to the possibility of a no deal bret's it parliament is expected to say no to no deal and that would bring this to thursday when parliament is scheduled to vote yes or no to a delay of breck's it and that vote is expected to pass remember in only eighteen days is the u.k. is scheduled to begin exiting the european union and we still don't have a deal some call all of this kicking the bricks it can down the road others claim it's all happening according to teresa mayes plan there is no vote scheduled on those suspicions at least not yet. we are committed to
12:15 am
ratifying this before the twenty ninth of march it is no for the house of commons to take any for it and certain decisions this week so mari there'll be a vote in parliament m.p.'s going to that alternative idea is their. arrangements in place they want to they when they can. concessions and additions to the deal but ultimately the trees are made deal will be voted on and the debate is have by how much it will lose and that will determine whether or not his mates can survive whether or not she can attend one more times with a deal back into the house of commons treason i need fact that her approach is not . as prime minister she needs to show the leadership and reset the debate if it's defeated by a mixture of hard right people us getting people on the left on the left wings of the labor party that is going to be the end of a deal probably and i mean that a new sort of arrangements got to be negotiated with the european union and if she
12:16 am
won't find a way forward then parliament has a responsibility to do so instead things like no deal things i currently exist as options and when you get rid of those options then that makes other things like a referendum or a softer brix it a lot more likely and we hear of the commission remain open and willing to meet with u.k. negotiators at any time and those are the voices on the eve of these very important votes by the way british prime minister theresa may she spent part of this monday not in the u.k. but rather in strasbourg france seat of the european parliament a last minute meeting on the continent before her parliamentarians in london were to move away or not to move at all from the cot publicly that. we're so used to be suspected of murdering the you have brother of north korea's

12:20 am
school mass shootings since the one thousand nine hundred sixty three oh a decade later relatives and survivors of winnenden still bear the emotional scars many of them are calling for tighter gun control. visiting 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 of you high . school her life changed forever. 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 she was ten to fifteen i kept resisting the very thought of it. her daughter nina was one of fifteen victims that a gunman shot at the school and during his askin. 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 is 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 try to talk with them so they could process what they went through lead nodded to that's a principle of trauma counseling courage people to express their feelings can because it's far more harmful to suppress someone from let them cry and scream if
12:22 am
they need to see those winds fighting 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. we hope so much for example we have a school social worker people involved in a school where yes we have a project name but social cohesion with and getting along with other. relatives of the victims try to somehow to go on with their lives. meyer has finally managed to find some inner peace. at this point child the shooter came across as a monster but he was really just a young boy i followed him a lot because he didn't have to like the other side but that inch of him really helps me understand what made him commit such an evil. that this person. this memorial called the broken ring symbolizes the suffering in winnenden
