thanks for watching designed by clowns supervised by monkeys just one of the scathing comments by boeing engineers as they worked on the 737 max airliner newly released internal memos revealed boeing employees were aware of some problems with the jets and the simulator training being developed for them and try to conceal the information from u.s. aviation regulators one says they would not allow their own family to fly on a 737 max his crew had been trained on a simulator and the max has been grounded worldwide since last march following 2 crashes in which 346 people died the company's working to improve the aircraft to convince regulators to let it fly once again. me the head of airbus says he sees great potential to expand the playmakers operations in britain after briggs that the european company which makes its wings in wales a previously suggested a post that u.k. could could deter the company airbus is also set to spend $40000000.00 to build new

facilities in ad $275.00 jobs in the u.s. state of alabama the company intends to increase production of its a $320.00 models there it currently employs around 4000 people in the u.s. . and for more on some of the stories regarding these plane companies these big plane companies let's go now to chelsea delaney she's our financial correspondent in frankfurt chelsea regarding these memos from boeing these are old memos at the same time the pretty shocking how serious is the release for boeing it certainly is not really helping boeing's case right now boeing is really trying to get the f.a.a. and the u.s. airline regulator to approve the 737 max for to fly again and and these. boeing employees are making fun of f.a.a. regulators they're talking about sort of tricking them into approving the plane so i think this certainly is going to increase the tensions between the regulator and

boeing which is one of the reasons why boeing had to let go of its c.e.o. late last year the f.a.a. for its part has said that this isn't really a this doesn't really shed new light on to on to new safety issues with boeing but i think this really points to a culture of. sort of thing lax about safety and sort of trying to get around regulators and that's really not going to going to help boeing you know convince regulators to clear the 737 but if you look at airbus bullish again about post brags that britain has it changed its tune there. they definitely are and it's generally just a much different story for airbus right now in terms of their big concern had been . that the u.k. with leave the european union with with no deals they were very concerned about a no tell fact that the chances of that are basically you know right now that the u.k. parliament has passed boris johnson's back that deal it needs

a few few more steps it has to go to the house of lords has to be signed by the queen but that's basically the fact that it's happening and that really it removes a lot of uncertainty for airbus and now they're feeling are positive about the outlook that certainly giving them a boost or at chelsea delaney their force in frankfurt thank you or right over to australia now where satellite images like this one give some idea of just how devastating the bushfires have been since they began burning in september that not only claimed 27 lives and 80000 square kilometers of land they've taken a massive financial toll insurance companies have already paid out more than $700000000.00 australian dollars that's almost half a 1000000000 u.s. dollars meanwhile the australian government has already set aside $2000000000.00 australian dollars to help recover from the fires which are expected to last for months now although it expects it will need a lot more that money will go towards rebuilding infrastructure helping farmers and

coal industry coal being a straight a 2nd biggest export and being so important and the government is really being careful about saying what's causing these bushfires because it does not want to link it to climate change it does not want any sort of link or any blame put on the coal industry what about among themselves are they beginning to make that link in putting some pressure on the government there is pressure and there are protests as we speak being organized across a stranger in the major cities and across the world but the lobby group in australia that supports the prime minister the christian lobby group and the cold lobby group so powerful. they also have a stranglehold on the media through the modal media and that forms public opinion in australia and there are many a strange i was saying right now despite the devastation to spite losing their businesses and their homes and family members that this has nothing to do with climate change briefly you mention livelihoods in the smaller towns what about the
