unlike look who it's good to have you with us. world leaders have been sending condolences and offers of assistance to south korea after the countries deadly as aviation disaster on home soil, a 179 passengers and crew aboard the chaise you air flight were killed when the plane skidded off the runway at one international airport and burst into flames. only 2 crew members survived. investigators are now analyzing the flight data as they try to piece together what happened. coming the wreckage in search of bodies and answers. recovery workers have now located both of the aircraft plank recorders . they will help determine what caused one of south korea's worst aviation disasters. this is the moment the jew airplane skids down the runaway at one airport. after failing to deploy its landing gear, it crashes into a wall and burst into flames. only to flight attendants who were in the plains pill

section, survived inside the airport. family members had been in during an agonizing weight as the remains of their loved ones are slowly identified . john j young lost his daughter and it's a catastrophe. it should not have been this bad ones. no one lived except for the 2 flight attendants. in the tile section. i don't understand why the pilot had to attempt the landing on the runway to crush into the wall. south korea's acting president said the government is assisting recovery efforts. he expressed his deep remorse and when i opened my deepest condolences to those who tragically lost their lives,

i also feel deeply sorry and explain my sympathies to the families. as the acting head of government responsible for the safety and lots of our residents, a feeling indescribable, slower and profound regret. one molly, authorities think of the plane likely struck a flock of birds as it prepared to land. despite the control tower warning to the pilots to as you just heard, a bird fly strike remains the most likely cause of the accident. i asked aviation expert, steven wright, how small birds can bring down big plants. good evening. the problem with birds is that they can be ingested. this is a safe side, apple, so it stretches out towards the sea. and that means that you have problems with wildlife, with birds and such like so it's possible. yeah. across coming into land and the, the, it's known the flux of birds 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 control on the ground. the birds getting jesting, typically adjusting to one engine, and that then causes catastrophic damage on the engine itself. and although you lose the thrust, you also lose all the services by many hydro, lix electronics. you might, okay. 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 works at london goswick unseen, but it's big invested 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 of the back of the engine,

fall 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 landing. so 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 trace, they use of accounts and measures to scare the boat. so why so they, 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 apparent that the flight controls and the hydraulic systems on the flight controls there,

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. so there is a emergency fruitful, so you can pull a handling the floor on the aircraft. unlocks all the landing gear. um 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 his landing gear expanded. i can't 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, lea 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 i run ways tend to be quite long. it's not like 25 meters of broadcast. so, and simply, you know, you check a few 1000 liters 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 purpose, right? the next big problem that you go is to say across was intending to come straight in from the se, but then changed his mind, turned around and returned back in the opposite direction. you mentioned 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. 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 go. brick was with razor wire on the top of the lowest cape unwanted visitors out. and they didn't hate from what i can say, the brit quote, the perimeter will around the after 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 the high speed flats and shredded the croft that is ation experts.

steven right in dublin, we thank you for your time sir. thank you to the far right. anti western politician me called a couple i should be lee has been sworn in as george's new president, the former football or was inaugurated despite allegations from outgoing president settlement zoo at fish freely that his election was legitimate. and the new president is supported by the ruling georgia dream party, whose decision to suspend moves to join the e. u has sparked months of protests. the outgoing leader is refusing to step down, but says she will vacate the presidential palace. natalie southern not is a former georgia and bash it or to the you. she's criticize the use response to recent events in georgia. i asked her to explain why. well, there are some objects to read. some consensus is one, but the new dos find itself in a very unusual situation is this is

a candidate concrete. and for the 1st time problem isn't the candidate country decides to withdraw the from the process to the, the there's of the country. a basically equate to conditionality, which is the tried and tested process for the you enlargement with the black menu and said that they basically had enough and they want to deprive the you of this leverage um at the same time, uh the for the new uh 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 this crisis needs to be home. 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 are pushing israel and los through richard cruz in gaza as the violence of their rages on hostage cease fire talks have dragged, gone for months during which time thousands of palestinians have been killed while is really troops keep up their offensive and the strip prime minister benjamin netanyahu faces anti government protests at home. many blame him for failing to reach a deal to free the use really hostages. still inside garza or bill you who was abducted by a moss on october 7th 2023 and it's thought she's among the 50 or so hostages believe to be still captive and alive. now with the ceasefire negotiator showing progress or family hopes to see her. finally released and back home dw is young. phillip shots reports from jewish one your see who has been waiting for 14 months to hold
