did. you work with. the wrong tree. for. more on. this news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes ethiopian airlines always stood by its foreign and pilots off to the macho plane crash that killed all one hundred fifty seven on board now a preliminary report stating the crew followed procedure as a friend a case of the carry out will be an aviation expert in. the country

where rape victims over the age of eighteen are advised not to go to the police we meet the mauritanian living keeping up the fight to toughen rules on sexual violence. and a new show called the seventy seven percent is starting soon and stay tuned to find out what it's all about. i'm christine window while come to africa i'm glad. we begin in ethiopia way investigators have the u.s. jet make a boeing to review its flight control system a report released by the ethiopian government states that the pilots off if the opium and ions jets that crashed six minutes off to take off last month performed all procedural duties recommended by boeing when the plane started to nose dive but

still could not save it i'll be talking to an aviation expert in the days of about first this report. march tenth was a clear morning ethiopian airlines flight three zero two had just left at this abu buffer in nairobi when it plummeted nose first into a field outside the capital a disaster that killed all one hundred fifty seven people on board. a preliminary report now rules out human error as the cause of the tragedy suggesting the crew did everything in their power to avoid the crash. the crew perform it all the procedures. provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control. the boeing seven three seven max eight reportedly experienced erratic climbs and descents shortly after takeoff a situation similar to the one preceding the crash of flying air flight six one

zero in october which killed one hundred eighty nine people. very clear to you is we do not have a student because. number one it's the same airplane more than brown to be on the other hand the flight the duration of the flights also was almost you know not all flight was six months six minutes very short like. the scrutiny is centered on an anti stall system that has repeatedly given pilots problems it's designed to automatically lower the aircraft nose if it detects a stall or loss of airspeed anxious to wind back public trust in its products boeing announced last week it had reprogrammed the software on the seven three seven max to stop the anti stall system from triggering but the us federal aviation administration advised boeing to keep working on the proposed fix before submitting the system for a view. for more on this i'm joined by nick actually an aviation expert

joining us from the ethiopian capital addis ababa welcome to africa mr nik out to what do we know now that we didn't know before the release off this preliminary report. actually what the release of today's report does is we confirms the analysis that was done from day one the day of the aircraft crash a lot of aviation experts who have been stating that there is something wrong with the boy aircraft there's something wrong with the way the system was designed by boeing so all that what it does today's makes it official who has been discussed for the last three and a half weeks so that's probably what i would say that major thing that we learned second thing what we learned is again confirmation that the pilots were qualified to ply the plane there and trade the aircraft as the air war the inside if i so these are just and we confirmation as a very important. confirmation on the expected from beginning to size interactive

on the business about the pilots they had been some reports in the media suggesting that the pilots didn't were not properly trained to operate the software this is as indication for ethiopian airlines as it is. absolutely absolutely indication especially since i know the airline it's training has the biggest aviation academy in africa not only does it train its own pilots pilots from all over the world come to be trained at ethiopian airlines so yes it's absolutely indication that they have been qualified in fact unlike see some of the carriers in the united states let's say the largest operator of seventy seven dash eight hundred i'm not says is an american carrier called southwest and it doesn't even have the simulators whereas ethiopian airlines which only has five release has spent millions of dollars to train its pilots on those aircraft in the united states their train going on i don't know fifty six minute training camp whereas here they're actually

trained so that also again reconfirmation this some there was for some early speculation that maybe the pilots were not trained and all that or a right as we confirmed that they were qualified to fly the plane ok so the airlines had to ground i think four of these planes and i wonder what that meant for the carrier and if they are losing money which presumably they are they're just going to pass that on to to the passages. not no not at all in fact you have to understand it iran is in the biggest airline in africa as an uncertain aircraft it's actually bigger than that to the second and third largest airlines in africa combined so what it is doing and i was talking to the c.e.o. of the other day is they have really deployed they're going to be redeploying the rest of the fleet which is about one hundred in ten of them to make up for them for the other four has been grounded in the for the ones i was crashed so there is no way second there's not that they're not in passing or in fact if anything the

existence of you tube analysis benefit aviation industry in general and african passengers in particular because it saves them cost that makes it convenient so i think the loyalty of the customers will still be there and i think as we continue to service of that with the dunns the coke of compensation part and i think is what you're implying is a very important one because. their aircraft before have been grounded around the world six hundred fifty plus have been grounded so boys will be expected to compensate the top analysed aircraft actually particularly were brand new they're still under warranty so i would expect buoying to compensate ethiopian allies not only for the plane that crashed but for the grounding and for lost revenue so there is i think. a financial support that i expect to come frank he's open our allies down the wrote ok so midianite that aviation experts coming to us from madison thank you thank you for an extraordinary is in mauritania way activists are fighting to postulate to say sion to punish gender based violence more severely but

in this conservative nation way criminal law is derived from sharia law the topic defiance society and politicians like the legislation has already been rejected twice in parliament. has lived through a mother's worst nightmare last year her five year old daughter was attacked by a neighbor. he came and took my daughter while i was asleep then he raped her he was so bad he had to have an operation. rights groups say most survivors of sexual assault in mauritania don't dare to report their cases to the police that's because the victims of rape are often imprisoned for having sex outside of marriage a criminal offense in mauritania in this case the rapist was convicted because of the girl's young age but the women's rights group a f c f says even the sex

offenders that get convicted often serve only a fraction of their sentence for the past two years a bill seeking tougher penalties for sexual violence has been awaiting parliamentary approval. we need this law because we know that violence against women is skyrocketing. statistics on violence against women are not actually available in mauritania but rights groups say they have women coming to them all the time the draft bill was drawn up with the help of muslim scholars to try to make it acceptable still parliament has rejected it twice and now it's been withdrawn. we can't adopt a law which contradicts sharia law as that's the basis of our constitution. the debate is not new back in two thousand and thirteen d w covered protests in mauritania after a young woman was raped and murdered the family says bandits who can even hurt her

eyes gouged out by her attacker. activists say things won't change until the change is protection to abuse victims until that happens. and we have an exciting new program coming up here on the it's a magazine show called the seventy seven this thing and here's a little bit about this. seventy seven percent. are younger than. me and to me. one time. from. this is when.

people see. you. ok and you've just seen them in the train left of my colleagues. me join me now it is good studio and edith is out in the road be ok it is so what makes the seventy seven the show to watch. good point you've made it is that isreal towards. it is the seventy seven percent because we see that. pollution is a useful one is the most beautiful continent and seven seven plus that age of thirty five so we see this show in our show you can see is a platform where africa's you'd come together to to dialogue to debate on different issues it's not just about talking about the challenges or the problems you face on a constant but also a place where they can express pride in being africans as different segments where you're talking about people are talking about cities that and the cool things that make it in africa so it's really a mix of everything but bottom line it is. because you've talked about debates

going to be hitting. the debates signature off the program so what what are you going to be debating what kind of topics are going to be getting into. everything christine i tell you nothing is off bounds and it's not so much what it is we're talking about but how the engagement is happening i'll give you an example we've just come from uganda we were talking about gender inequality a topic that's already hot in and of itself but i had millennial is from africa telling me things that left my jaw on the floor and this is the kind of engagement that we wanted from the people on the ground and it's exactly what we're finding shocking things things that are making us question well views and realities about africa and all of that is coming from these young people the seventy seven percent as i like to call them ok india all excited now when does the show debut well it's starting on the sixth of april the first time a seven u.t.c. they're going to be good for the times after that so people don't have to but if they miss it ok that's the seventy seven percent coming up and indeed thank you to

my colleagues edith your money is in kenya and my kid jr is here with me in studio not to mention one who is also host of the same to seven percent. and that is it for now from africa you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page the seventy seven percent is also on the website and we'll see it next time i find out. if. it's not easy to go to another country and know nothing about why for i don't do this because we can't stay in venezuela i'm not. closely global news that matters d.w.

made for mines what's the connection between bread. and the european union he knows. correspondent baker john stripes this line with the rules set by the. stepping recipes for success the strategies that make a difference. baking bread on the d.w. . hello welcome to our culture and today a new exhibition of works from yoko ono has just opened in sync my colleagues felt roxboro was there and he'll be here in a minute to talk about it but also coming up. play it aloud at the metropolitan museum in new york tranche rock n roll songs make impact on our culture through

iconic rock instrument. but let's get straight underway with the yoko ono exhibition and scott is just back from the opening and in a way actually there's a connection there she's also an iconic figure in rock'n'roll really yeah you know really yeah of course i mean but it's interesting because of before this exhibit i think i was thinking about yoko ono and what i what i think about her and i guess i mean i think we all sort of an image of her but it's really directly connected to you know her ladyship with with john lennon and i always really if i'm honest thought of her more or less is just the wife of a job out of you know and you know the people the person the people of the beatles and or whatever but and the one who then went on to make some really strange music with john lennon and the plastic ono band if you remember that so that was my idea going into this exhibit but the this exhibit from this whole piece is power and it

display sixty years of her artwork i didn't even know she had that much artwork to show.
