ah, i british energy. welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. china's deadliest aviation disaster in decades. goods have been deliberate on media to pull typing u. s. official says the march crash of china. eastern flight m u 5735. could have been caused by court. some one in the cockpit. u. s. official to helping analyze the flights data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. the new assessment is based on information from the state up. a 132 people lost their lives. after the boeing 737800. plunged vertically into a mountain side in southern china. this video, unverified, but widely shared on social media, allegedly shows the final moments of flight m,

u 5735. on march 21st. soon afterward, cruise began retrieving the debris. each piece a potential clue into what caused the deadly disaster. now there are indications that the crush might have been deliberate. data from the black box reportedly shows some one had sent a plane into a fatal nose dive. this, according to the wall street journal, which cited people familiar with the preliminary assessment of u. s. officials. the u. s. took putting an investigation since the aircraft was manufactured there. the boeing 737800 from china, eastern airline was on its way to the south and city of con jo. when it suddenly plunged into a mountain side. none of the 132 people on board survived. both the us and china say they have received no information from the other side on their

respective investigation results so far. although beijing says it's doing its part to share data and will keep doing so. for me, wrong boucher of ivy ation regulators will continue to maintain close communication with all parties involved in the investigation and release related information in a timely and accurate manner. you're wanting to china. eastern airline had previously said the pilots, health and family conditions were good. when asked about a possible cockpit intrusion, it said such scenario was not plausible. almost 2 months after the tragedy, families of the deceased say their wounds will not heal. not at least until they know why it happened. and gentlemen, all for more from melbourne is krystal john. she's an associate professor automated university australia and an expert in china's deviation industry. professor john, welcome. what is your reaction to the media report that this crash was deliberate?

i mean, could this be true? and thank you very much for having me today. my pleasure to be here. my 1st reaction is that it's very surprisingly present in terms of how speedy it takes to i restore and analyze the data from the damaged black box is because as we know from the previous reports and also from the information available, data to black box is actually we're a severely damaged and then they were transported to america for data restoration and data analysis. so that really means is less than 2 months time debate. her was able to be restored and to be analyzed in some information apparently was available for further investigation for the analysis. so i think from that perspective is really very, very effective. the investigation process better to what extent that information is

. you know, i'm not questioning the authentication of the data, but i think is still at need for the investigation that really demonstrates that there might be various a scenarios that the market is, are very, very interested and willing to explore. that might be one of the scenarios that they need to investigate right now. let's assume for a moment that the final investigation understood to wait. and this final investigation and this investigation concludes that this was indeed a deliberate act. do you think we can expect china to make this report public? oh, so that is a kind of a true purpose in the event that it is a deliberate a fact i'm i'm confident that the investigator and also the authority a c as a regulator and also safety litigation authorization. it will be very all nice and,

and all not the fact i'm but if there are other contributing factors and also as we know that when something contributes to the air crash and perhaps in not just one single, a fact that, that to affect it, that will contribute to the air crash power, so they are more than one contributing factors. so we need to take a holistic out assistant approach to that, which i not have heard a relatively good safety record as if to record in the past due to particularly when can you talk to us a bit about the standards of a safety employed in china to make sure that across are safe to fly. yes, absolutely. i think as we know that in the past 14 years, perhaps the chat nice meant in a very high safety reg, hold in terms of there is no fatal crash. and the latest one besides this one was at 1994 and that was the aircraft, the crash you know,

bit read north eastern city in china. but ever since then there apparently there has been no fatal crash, but it has been set that apparently there are some issues in terms of less safety, hosario, etc, etc. and this is something that is not or not, not avoidable in aviation operation, because with no air transport, the industry is a high risk of industry and the safety is the priority of the industry at the global scale. so china apparently is very committed to enhancing a safety management system and to implement the various type of procedures and measurements in terms of improving safety report. but having said that, we do understand that in the past 10, back in the past 10 years, in the past decade, that the air transport has been growing very, very rapidly,

exponentially in china's domestic market and the chinese authority, they recognize that there are variations in terms of the development and the growth for the air transport industry, for example, the east and of course, along the eastern coast that is rapidly developing. but the central and the basin part is also experiencing rapid growth. but then the traffic is really shifting from the east to the west, but in terms of the infrastructure, the cetera et cetera weston and the central part of china is not as advanced as to the extent of those in dirt in the eastern part. so that actually, you know, i did, i significant kind of a pressure in terms of their safety management. so up from the industries perspective, apparently, you know, this kind of a pension has been existing for quite some time. either you are satisfied in the actual demand and you know, from the public, all you maintain that very high,

our safety record. and so that you see a pattern has been very committed to maintaining the very high safety recall. but apparently something has happened very recently. we'll have to leave it there for the time being, but thank you so much for that insight into china's aviation industry crystal dang, from the out of my to university in australia. thank you so much. my pleasure. and k ah lou. after 2 years of strict lock downs and some of a shares, highest infection rates, people in the philippines have been adjusting to life again with fewer corona, virus restrictions. but most schools are still waiting for the green light. our reporter says the government is hesitant to reopen all schools in order to protect children. with the result that even 3 months after the archipelago, nations reopening less than a quarter of school aged kids have returned to classes. and those left behind,

not how salaries the un children's organisation had already demanded. the government should prioritize the reopening of schools, a task that is now up to sarah to tear to the freshly elected vice president and education minister, who will run country at the side of ferdinand marcus junior. particularly in disadvantaged and poor communities like recalls village children face and increased risk of exploitation recalls father midsummer that with 9 siblings, she has to help out in the house a lot in the mom, mom not what as long as i early enough money for survive. i want her going among 16, i want them all the study because that is what i do not do. the only lay out a lot of people's raquel has a business plans for the future. during the locked down, she enjoyed helping other children in the village with their modules. so she decided to become a teacher. but 1st,
