a more livable car this small city will save power we live in the future. this is the new business. the federal aviation authority in the us finds itself increasingly isolated as it still refuses to ground the boeing seven three seven max regulators in the e.u. have now joined their counterparts in china and other major markets in banning the plane from flying the popular model was involved in crashes recently in indonesia and on sunday in ethiopia the issue is a sensitive one for the airplane and defense company in particular it faces a tricky act reassuring concerned customers and protecting its business and investors who lost more than twenty six billion dollars since the latest. iceland there is only one of the airlines grounding their seven three seven max fleet by grounding its three max eight aircraft until further notice norwegian airlines also

grounded its fleet of eighteen citing european aviation authorities after three hundred seventy four seven three seven max airplanes currently in operation around the world some forty percent of now being grounded more than twenty year lines of grounded the plane including norwegian german travel group two e. and a number around the world have only just started building their fleets. and the e.u. has now added to the growing amount of airspace close to the new boeing plane as a global team of investigators looks for parallels with the crash in indonesia just five months ago. boeing stocks have said billion since monday but analysts say ultimately they expect things to normalize so number one we think that the boeing planes are safe we think that. a directive to pilots on how to handle the software . there is ways to override the system american airlines.

believe the plane saved we expect the order book to be largely intact u.s. carriers say they will continue operating the planes as normal for now but pressure is growing on all storage he's there to take action over the boeing seven three seven max eight many airlines are citing customers frightened by sunday's ethiopian airlines max a crash which killed all one hundred fifty seven people on board. i'm now joined in the studio by specialist of cobra in frankfurt a factor that actually reports. standing by welcome to you both. start with you what are you hearing there from passengers frankfurt airport. well europe has closed its airspace to the seven three seven max and a lot of the passengers that i talked to are actually quite happy that it gives them a sense of moral wellbeing that they know they will not be boarding this kind of plane today some actually went in and checked what kind of plane they're flying

with although generally the majority has a lot of trust in air travel in general saying that airplanes are the least likely to. cause any damage to them compared to other ways of travel i also run into a pilot who said he has come pull each trust in this in this airplane and suspect it's more of a political issue there people need to feel more safe even though it might not be necessary the impact here in europe is not as big as it is in the u.s. and also in the asia pacific region where a lot more of these planes are flying flying actually. trust major u.s. airlines have said the seven seventh's perfectly safe do they have a point or is a bit on the side of caution well seeing that. the two very same planes very same type of planes were involved in crashes just

a matter of months i think similar questions just well yeah i think. it is a sensible thing to do here to be to be cautious and i think by the growing number of regular regulatory bodies and airlines that are saying well we're going to put this thing whole on hold i think that shows you that this is the overwhelming decision the f.a.a. there. is going with well we've done a review of the data that we have we're just not a lot i would say and this review has shown us that there's no systemic performance issue as the f.a.a. says hence there's no need to ground the plane do we know anything more by now about the circumstances of the latest crashes you know. no we don't but the flight data recorder as well as divorce recorder from the flight deck of flight three zero two have been recovered and experts are trying to extract the data and interpret it . as ministry of transport real work together with the united states authorities

were boeing is located to find a place to examine the data because e.o.p. self doesn't have the necessary equipment to do so meanwhile this is a crisis for boeing a crisis that is widening i mean you've mentioned it at the beginning of the segment more than twenty six billion dollars of market value have been wiped off of boeing stock and at this crisis there's even ever more questions popping up over the seven three seven max program which is the most important product for the company there is about five thousand planes on order of this very type five thousand yeah just about that you have to see that every about two seconds there was a seven three seven taking off or departing and taking off or or landing somewhere in the world this is the widest sold aircraft in the world so having something wrong with the sirius is troublesome and needing to get to the bottom of this is

essential for both. power coming back to you. is boeing a bit of the mach that clarify the technical issues best. well boeing has responded quickly but it hasn't responded in a way that would put trust back in the company and saying it's technology is working fine it is very safe but at the same time since the lion air crash in october there is a software update that is supposed to come for this airplane that hasn't come won't be available until april and that doesn't really you know respond new confidence in in the company of the share price has been suffering certainly and may continue to do so if boeing can put faith back into into its product. just. to both of you thank you very much.

now the city off tomorrow will face entirely new challenges space is becoming. mega cities are already finding it difficult to organize municipal services taipei is coming up with a solution though why the data networks of sensors are intended to remedy the situation and to prove the quality of life for its citizens. more and more people are moving from the countryside to the city in asia for example almost half a billion people are forecast to move to cities in the next few decades a huge organizational and infrastructural challenge like a solution could be digital technology the creation of smart cities in the machines will increasingly communicate autonomously with each other and by doing so dramatically alter the urban experience cars would pay for themselves toll and filling stations an economic and simple solution the time when these capital of

taipei is well on its way to becoming such a city. numerous projects are changing every day life here like the scooter sharing project the electric scooters are distributed throughout the city and can be reserved and paid for by app reducing at pollution and noise. and cooperation between the city and supermarkets is changing shopping routines so called minis offer more than twenty options for payment whether by card or mobile phone and they're open around the clock. digital technology is also coming to waste management people can dispose of cans and bottles in i trash machines and get a voucher in return which can be used for bus and train tickets promoting sustainable transport. machines sharing data to make our lives easier and more sustainable this could be just the solution our future needs. some clever ideas

there let's go to taipei to our correspondent william young william smart city. just about what you've just seen or does it mean more so smart say taipei is the city why initiative that is that using a distributed leisure technology to create debt of driven services and in the case of taipei one makes us smart as the government as a citywide framework which satisfy citizens' needs through technological innovation block chain is plays a role here that move relatively new technology improves quality of life in a city. so new technologies like tango technology makes life safer and more efficient than before for example with marci taipei's there's little i didn't fiction system is a new program that utilizes the german company tengo id technology to

better safeguard citizens from identity theft and also voter fraud. but could this actually solve ministers of problems of large cities in terms of increasing organization. so with the large volume of data urban centers have to process experts believe just smart city initiatives like the are powered by technology is the answer to administrate of problems because it is capable of handling large transaction volumes while offering scalable solutions. but it shouldn't go to great attention also be paid to days of protection as personal data is increasingly used with these applications. yeah since the awareness about how data is being processed and used is growing around the world it is also believed technology is the better way to ensure about personal

data is not being misused. for the amount of thank you very much. back to europe a cautious pound has i just edged up zero point two percent against the dollar trading in asia ahead of another key vote in the british parliament lawmakers will later decide whether to reject leaving the e.u. without a deal so it follows another heavy defeat footsore is a maze for posed gregg's a deal that's been up to mulch as few days as made big gains against the dollar and euro on monday and monday's news of concessions from the e.u. only for them to launch a new legal advise saying little of changed investors on our brains for today's vote on a no deal. and that's it for me and the business team. all on our website that is the. slash.
