[000:00:00;00] last . played. last. night this is g.w. news live from bali and boeing suspends production on its ill fated 737 max and regulators grounded the plane to to the fatal crashes in just 5 months now the seattle based u.s. plane maker is halting the assembly line or one of its best sellers will look at the fallout for the industry and the u.s. economy cars are coming up pakistan's for one minute treat rulers perez who shot it
12:01 pm
is sentenced to death at the court in islamabad and else the decision following the shot of his long trial on charges of treason. plus as a global summit gets underway on the growing migration crisis we report from one of the world's largest refugee camps in kenya to dub was never meant to be a long term solution yet so most people live as a refugee here in the camps as all they know. the u.n. says the world wants more than 26000000 people have been forced to flee their homes some spend their entire lives in camps like this one. i haven't a home free glad you could join me. u.s. plane make a boeing is suspending production of its 737 max at line a starting in january now the best selling aircraft was grounded last march
12:02 pm
following 2 fatal crashes in just 5 months boeing has not delivered any new 737 since then what it works on the cause of those crashes now the production freeze by one of the largest u.s. export has will impact supplies and airlines around the world as well as the u.s. economy. there are 400 brand new 737 max aircraft parked in boeing's holding area they've been grounded since april this year some are even parked in the employee parking lot the production stop slated for this coming january is a drastic measure and it's bad for boeing's 12000 employees i think hauling production as a pretty major downside disrupts the whole supply chain that puts labor terribles by causes. a real loss of the economies of scale that this airplane has that you keep that assembly line go on because of all the efficiencies in october 28th seen as 737 max crashed in indonesia then another one
12:03 pm
went down in ethiopia last march 346 passengers were killed in those 2 plane crashes with the 737 max is faulty steering software playing a decisive role in both incidents so far boeing has been unable to deliver a software correction that can be approved by the us federal aviation administration the 737 is boeing's best selling aircraft airline's of place thousands of orders so u.s. airlines and european air carriers of had to cancel flights due to lack of aircraft the airlines themselves are in just a terrible spot because they're selling spring break they're selling summer without knowledge of what their fleet is and all parties need to have complete transparency here so we can come up with some reasonable plan you know get this crisis get things back on track the loss of production at boeing might have a ripple effect that could burden the entire u.s.
12:04 pm
economy. let's talk through all of this now i'm joined by monica janes from the business good to see money i have and i talk us through this how big of a blow is this the boeing as well as the u.s. aviation industry well off trying to gather some numbers some facts and figures helen and 77 max prices all. reddy cost a boeing some $9000000000.00 u.s. dollars and there are experts out there who say well now this could easily double that's a huge amount and of course i mean yesterday when the news came that they would suspend production of the $77.00 max shares fell by 4 percent. that is not a crisis but it's quite a drop also now this decision to suspend the production of the 7 speech 7 max is on president and it does have a big impact on some $600.00 suppliers and companies are all linked to boeing and thousands of jobs of course just to give you an idea of the cash flow of g.e.
12:05 pm
aviation that's the company that makes the engines for the plane together with a french company a francis a friend and they say that they'll be hit with a loss of roughly 1400000000 this year alone and things could get worse and then of course there are other companies that are highly dependent on boeing like fuselage make a spirit air is the stems the 737 x. model accounts for 50 percent of that company's revenue that is a blow boeing can either say well that's bad luck or they can pay these companies so that they stand right ready in case the 77 max gets airborne again nevertheless it certainly sounds costly and i can't help but wonder about those ally and say that have already ordered one of these models i mean we're going to how is that i mean those airlines now for more than 9 months mostly u.s. airlines they have the biggest fleet of 737 max they either have to cancel destinations which is costly or they had to leave different aircraft which again is costly for them also impacts chinese airlines they have
12:06 pm
a lot of those this aircraft this particular model and the 3 biggest chinese airlines actually were among the 1st to sue boeing and also compensation which is why boeing this summer set aside aside $5000000000.00 to live up to that we now know that. by no way no means enough there's also european airlines like ryan air is a big custom of the 737 max barrel hit the ramifications are huge do you think that boeing will be able to come back from this in the near future well that is i mean as you said i mean boeing is one of the largest exporters of the united states is certainly one of the biggest names in the u.s. corporate world there's no way that the white house the administration would lead goal of boeing they'll be ways somehow to somehow supported but experts look at it is say how could it be that
12:07 pm
a company like this miscalculated the situation so badly that they would continue production now they have a backlog or that they sit on $1400.00 aircraft in storage we don't know whether they were ever be airborne they have underestimated just the time it will take for recertification and all of that is problematic but boeing keeps on message they say we will be airborne again prior you already is safely returning the $77.00 max to service. and i mean given the fact that most of us still fly boeing just not 77 max it'll probably work out for boeing in the long run right we'll have to see of course 2020 an election year in the u.s. as well the ramifications for the u.s. economy that's the monica jones thanks very much. to say that of now some of the other stories making news around the world british prime minister boris johnson is to bring in a new design to prevent any further extension of the process of the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union it would block any attempt to extend the end of
12:08 pm
the traditional transition period beyond december 2020. 5 fighters in australia are battling to contain places in agreement and national park that is west of sydney hundreds of bushfires have been raging across the country for months and conditions are getting worse temperatures in new south wales are set to top 40 degree. celcius . supporters of lebanon's 2 main shia groups have rioted and clashed with police in beirut violence was triggered by an online video that showed a man insulting shiite need it heightened tensions come as lebanon's president the late talks on naming a new prime minister but a court of pakistan has sentenced the country's former president pervez musharraf to death he was found guilty of high treason treason for suspending the constitution in 2007 and was shot a rude pakistan with a heavy hand for 999 to 2008 often needing a bloodless military coup against a civilian government to avoid
12:09 pm
a challenge to his rule he suspended the constitution and pushed the judiciary was shot and is currently in self exile in dubai and was tried in absentia. well as braincell mushrooms now from the w h o welcome shamo do we have any more details at this stage what we know that the code has handed death sentence to musharraf and that censure so short of still has the right to appeal in a subpoena to court the supreme court and he's most likely going to do that and also brought mr carranza government is supporting sheriff in a way that they want the trial to be that they have tried that their trial would be shifted to another gordon or doug so it's not done yet it's not a done deal that much or of would be exact q did. but the word yourself is hugely significant it's symbolic really you is immense because no military dictator in
12:10 pm
pakistan and the boss 72 years has been handed this kind of sentence shama you mention that right to appeal in light of that is this sentence likely to be carried out do you think. most likely it will be but it all depends on the. shot of legal team and from this cons government. but as i said that musharraf has the right to abuse so he would take it is steam would take it to the superior court and probably they would have a different decision what we need to focus at the moment is that this decision itself is very weighty symbolic military is an immensely powerful institution in pakistan no one has civilian institutions have never challenged the military in such a way so what we see this decision today is immensely important and nothing should be you know taken away from it and what about musharraf supporters how are they
12:11 pm
reacting to this latest development. when we should have how some supporters and also abrams' are con supporters kind of you know have they sympathize with musharraf they think god musharraf did a good job when he ruled pakistan from 999 to 2008 the country prospered the economy was improving he acted against islamist terrorism and all of that and also that you know this whole slogan that this idea that promise or conall is a believes in. one person one good rule and you know hanging up politicians and all that but the fact is that musharraf suspended the constitution he committed high treason and he has been given a sentence now so i don't think that musharraf supporters will take to the streets or something which are of house to follow a legal course. that's the only way out because if he does not have that kind of
12:12 pm
support that people will protest in his favor simon schama from the w.h.o. thanks for that thanks alina. well a global summit has started in geneva aimed at finding better ways to support the world's growing number of refugees is the 1st meeting of its kind it brings together politicians business leaders and crucially those affected people who have been forced to leave their homes now the u.n. says that persecution and war have forced 26000000 people around the world to flee their homelands almost half come from just 3 countries we're talking about syria afghanistan and south sudan and before the conflict in syria the single largest refugee population was palestinians now most refugees they live in countries bordering their own some spend their whole lives in camps like that in kenya like mohammed from somalia who we meet in this report. mohamed
12:13 pm
he has come to pray at his father's grave hidden away in one of the biggest refugee camps in the world. he's here to honor the memory of his father but the site is also yet another painful reminder of his own suffering. i feel sad the time still living in the camp where my father got sick passed away. mohammed's parents fled their still conflict ridden home country somalia almost 3 decades ago to see graf huge in neighboring kenya when mohammad was a child he would have never threw it at the age of 28 he his wife and 3 children would still be refugees here according to commune rule they are confined to life inside the camp and are not allowed to walk to. school how kind of both my wife and i were born here our children were born here it's very difficult to stay where you are for your entire life we don't have the freedom of movement which is
12:14 pm
a basic universal human rights. i feel like i'm in prison and i'm not able to leave. mohamed is one of more than 200000 refugees here. because unwanted in kenya the government has been threatening for years to close the camp heightening his feelings of uncertainty he also feels neglected by the international community which has shifted its attention to other humanitarian crises elsewhere. dab was never meant to be a long term solution yet for most people life as a refugee here and the camps as all they know this drawn out encampment that is here 18 level of humanitarian assistance and the only distant prospect of resettlement has collectively taken a severe mental health. toll on thousands of residents. sound cell 20 year one of
12:15 pm
the n.g.o.s operating here says the protracted crisis in the camp has caused a growing number of refugees to develop mental health conditions. depression is one of the illnesses we truly see. becoming increased amongst the refugees depression is serious because most of the time you get refuges attempting suicide it's actually due to depression. mohammed says he suffers from anxiety and insomnia and he's not alone he says many of his former school friends have given up hope some of them drifted into drug addiction get the others have one committed suicide and then they did with. my friends have hung themselves because of what they are going through it's happened several times in this camp and sometimes i think about killing myself because of the hardship i'm going through but then i think of my children they always say for me. mohammed says he's not ready
12:16 pm
to give up just yet he wants to fight on his children so that they can have a better future so they can get an education and enjoy the freedoms he never had for him self his wish is to leave the camp before he dies so that he doesn't have to be buried next to his father as a refugee. for more on this let's bring in now martin essential in geneva he works at the un refugee agency thanks for joining us martin what exactly can we expect from this conference. thank you don't well this is not just the not to come for and the global refugee forum it's the 1st world summit on refugees there's the board you know just being governments you're donating some money it's all the whole of society at large so we have the private sector we have a dam yeah we have 4 states they cost in countries and they have all come together through this summer and we have more than 2000 for the year. to fill the gap and to
12:17 pm
find tens of both solutions for the more than 26000000 refugees that we have in the world. that this issue it really hits young people we're talking about possible refugees on day 81 of the biggest challenges connected to that. it's indeed a significant challenge because what them to tell of them the only you know to feed them to give don't war to give them shelter because the main issue is they have no perspective and life they have no prospects the average duration of stay in the refugee camp is 25 years and that is terrible and it's not sustainable and those young people especially they need those perspectives through education for example the german coffee program is that tangible the towns of old program what really makes a difference for delegates young people and we need more of that. we need people the refugees to be self-reliant we need programs for that and that's what we're
12:18 pm
here for at the from them on that point marty and what role does germany play at this forum. germany has has over the last couple of years has been the front ron ron all records you texan because it's one of the few countries that not only significantly finance its humanitarian assistance in conflicts such as. are there in jordan and other countries but it also took in quite a significant. amount of people more than 1000000 so i can speak to both sides you know. germany is on the i level. at the eye level with countries like can you know all the people within that in the middle east and they can relate to the problems there and sold germany the role it's really crucial to address the global problems that there are in terms of refugees all right most entrenched from
