repair relationships with regulators customers and other stakeholders. and we have kate ferguson from business tracking the very latest on the story for us with us here in studio hi kate why are we seeing this decision now well 2019 is coming to an end and boeing is really taking stock of the year that's been on it really has been catastrophic on every level it was dominated of course by the attempt to deal with this 737 months crisis those 2 crashes one in ethiopia one in indonesia that sold 346 people lose their lives those crashes were blamed on faulty software with boeing accused of forcing software development to cheaper countries and compromising on safety and if things couldn't get any worse on sunday boeing had to abort a flight to the international space station that was an attempt to launch. next year and of course all of this has just called into question boeing's reputation

for engineering prowess so the pressure on dennis moberg was enormous it was clear that something had to change so what does this now mean for boeing going forward well it will be up to the replacement david to really restore confidence as you mentioned there the markets are really in favor of this news shares rose 2.7 percent immediately when this broke just less than an hour ago and it will be difficult for him to win back the trust we're talking about regulators customers and of course authorities of all kinds and it will be it'll be a tough job but it's clear that the markets are in favor of this new role what does this mean do you think for boeing's major european rival airbus a lot of eyes on this news i'm sure as well shore well any turbulence a boeing is generally going to be seen as good news for airbus the 2 companies are of course locked in this trade dispute at the world trade organization about illegal subsidize ation boeing did one piece of good news this year when the w t o ruled in favor saying that the european union had been illegally subsidizing

airbus so boeing because of the american government was able to impose retaliate bus air bus a similar. pending against boeing so we're likely to see the rivalry continue and next year thank you just quickly what about restoring customers trust in boeing surely it will take further steps to do so i think that will take a really long time and there's no knowing how long that will take all right good of you business correspondent kate ferguson with us here in studio thank you very much . now of course in saudi arabia has sentenced 5 people to death for the killing of journalist. it also had a prison terms to 3 additional suspects in connection with the killing the saudi writer and dissident was never seen again after entering the kingdom's consulate in istanbul last year he was killed and reportedly dismembered inside the building but his remains were never found it was a resident of the u.s. at the time and he was known for writing critically about the saudi royal family

be made public much more to be uncovered and awfully will result in the chain of command to be better understood and thirdly under unions or jurisdiction the killing of mr casualty could be a object of twi in countries that have adopted universal jurisdiction that include german edu french belgium too tied to a few let me just remind your audience that mr cashel gear was also the subject of an enforced disappearance and all the lack of torture most of which does a.b.c. you need a soldier restriction ok agnes cullum of the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions thank you so much for joining us on w. let's check in now on some of the other stories making headlines around the world thousands of people have taken to the streets again in india to protest a controversial citizenship law it's a fast track for indian citizenship for
