unlike look who it's good to have you with us. world leaders have been sending condolences to south korea after the countries deadliest aviation disaster on home soil. a 179 passengers and crew. aboard the j u air fly were killed when the boeing 737800, scattered off the runaway and one international airport in burst into flames. only 2 crew members survived. investigators have recovered both flight recorders as they try to piece together what happened. this is the moment the shows you at playing scapes down the runway. that's a new one at halting south korea default crushing into a wall and bursting into flames. emergency services a working into the night, searching the wreckage. the fire department say the plane was almost completely

destroyed in the blaze. and identifying the deceased is proving difficult. jesuit quickly issued an apology, saying they are doing all the time to respond to the incident. when y'all i bowed my head and apologize to all those who cherry street you a so late, unless somebody above all, i would like to express my deepest condolences and apologies to the families of those passengers who lost their lives in this accident. what happened in south korea's acting president. charlie's son mark arrived him one on sunday afternoon. he pledged at all necessary government results as would be available for the families of those on board. it's an anxious wait for the worst possible news. as a bird strike remains the most likely cause of the accident. i asked the vision

expert stephen whitehouse. small birds can bring down big plates. good evening. the problem with birds is that they can be ingested. this is a say site apple. so it stretches out towards the se, and that means that you have problems with wild life, with boats and such like so. it's possible the across coming into land and the, the, it's known that flexible roads are in the area. now this was given as a warning to the flight credit from what we understand from the transcripts, recorded from air traffic controller on the ground. the birds getting jesting typically just into one engine. and that thing cause is catastrophic damage on the engine itself. and although you lose the thrust, you also lose all the services by many hydraulics electric, see magic hat. this is a particular problem. there's so much at stake. i mean, how often do bird strikes happen?

and shouldn't there be security measures in place to at least minimize bird flocks at airport to the wrong is the simple on so, and the problem does occur or happen to of, whoops at london, goswick unseen. but it's big ingested into a british airway 757, leaving from england. going to america, i think was one of the most real things. we have a site including seeing bits of boats coming out the back of the engine fi coming out. the engine exhaust from the fire extinguishers and then what you go, the fire service rush to the run light in preparation for the emergency landings. i've seen this 1st time. it does happen. the airports do mitigate the problem by um they have ground services that scare away the boats. you don't find any trees, apple, it's on their apple. it's because they mitigate that problem. by preventing the birds from nesting and trays,

they use of accounts and measures to scare the birds to why so like they do take this into account. it just does happen occasionally. tell us why in your opinion, the airplane did not have its landing gear lowered. i can't give you a definitive answer in simple terms. we as looking at the video, there are some things that don't quite fit very well with my namely it's a power in the flight controls and the hydraulic systems on the flight controls, hydraulically assisted. they weren't extended, so things like this boilers. but the landing gear, although it's normally expanded, i'm retracted using hydraulic services. the there is a emergency frisco, so you can pull a handling the floor on the aircraft. unlocks all the landing gear. i'm not blocks, it makes the landing gear naturally for open up on the pilot then performs a couple of movers left them right

a few times and that forces the landing gate down and that's part of the design of the cross to mike showed us that the wheel was coming down before landing why the plane came down without its landing gear expanded. i call and give you the on. so. right, however, they've got the blank boxes and they will be interrogated to answer that question. again, this is layman stuff and we're talking largely to an audience of late people. why didn't the fire tenders lay a phone carpet on the runway when it was clear, the plane was attempting an emergency landing without wheels down. so the 1st thing that i would say in response to that is that run waste tend to be quite long. the. it's not like 25 meters of broadcast spell. and simply, you know, you check a few 1000 rates as of a trip last time and problem solved. remedies tend to say $22.00 and a half, 3 kilometers long. so you can give you an idea of how much time would be required

for that process, right? the next big problem that you've got is this a across the was intending to come straight in from the se, but then changed his mind, turned around and returned back in the opposite direction. you mention the fact that the runways along the video shows the plain coming off the tarmac and heating wall. i take it, it's standard for air strips at international airport to be surrounded by brick walls. the now korea is a bit different throughout the countries. um, now what you probably haven't been explained is this apple like so many in career all shed by both the civil business and also the military side of the civil business, the military side of this effectively it's a protected area and i've, i've traveled to south career many, many tons of merits are grand. so obviously many have fields where they've got

break was with razor wire on the top of the lowest cape. i'm wanted visits as well . but they didn't hate from what i can say, the brit quote, the perimeter will around the if they, what they've done is hit a concrete structure that supports the instrument, low instrument landing system, localized. so at the end of the runway and it's plowed through that and a high speed that's and shredded the croft. and that is adrian expert. steven, right in dublin, we thank you for your time, sir. thank you. a look now at some of the other stories making headlines as we speak. spanish police have arrested 7 human traffic or is accused of murder during a c crossing from the african mainland to the canary islands. their boat was carrying within $200.00 migrants. at the time investigator said, the traffickers killed 4 of them to keep the rest under control. as coalition as

president joined, the lot of it looks set to win a 2nd term and office exit full show him taking more than 50 percent of the vote more than 30 points ahead of his closest rival. flonnawich is an outspoken opponent of western support for ukraine in its war against russia. the far right anti western politician mikhail, a couple i should really has been sworn in as georgia as a new president. the former football, it was inaugurated despite allegations from outgoing presidents selling my zoo officially that his election was illegitimate. the new president is supported by the ruling georgia dream party, whose decision to suspend moves to join the e u. s. for 2 months of protests, the outgoing leader is refusing to step down, but says she will vacate the presidential house. that natalie is out and not is a former george and ambassador to the you. she's criticize the use response to

recent events in georgia. i asked her to explain why. well, there are some of jack theories, simon consensus is one, but the new address find itself in a very unusual situation is this is a candidate timeframe. and for the 1st time, the problem isn't the candidate country decides to withdraw the from the process to the leaders of the country. a basically equate to conditionality, which is the tried and tested process for the you enlargement with the black males and said that they basically had enough and they want to deprive the you of this leverage. but at the same time, uh they for the new they feel that needs to engage whoever is in the effective control because this is immediate neighborhood. as i said, it's a candidate country. and the solution out of those crisis needs to be solved. there is no consensus so strong signals are not being sent,

but the you did adopt as large, the symbolic, but still important decision to suspend research liberalization for the holders of diplomatic ad service passports. now this is not going to prevent georgia and officials from traveling to europe, but it is a signal to international mediators or pushing israel and the mos, to reach a ceasefire and gaza as the violence of their raiders on ceasefire talks of dragged on for months during which thousands of palestinians have been killed. well, israel troops keep up their offensive industry of prime minister benjamin netanyahu faces anti government protest at home. many blame him for failing to reach a deal to free. that is really hostages. still inside garza obelia, who was taken hostage with her boyfriend from their cubits new on the home on october 7th, 2023 now with a ceasefire. negotiators signaling process progress with the tox,

the total risk may be, they can see the best analogy of her personality over that she's she have a few. how do you know she loved everybody? she except everybody. so i hope that they don't a talk to her. i hope in recent weeks, the hostage negotiations have intensified again, also due to pressure from many families, security expert or no, i'm human says an agreement. that's the only chance to save their lives. jewish people, all of the military are for, we killed near hostages. then we brought back the, on the rail option to bring them on is a hostage deal. and this is what we should know. right now is our role is also
