back in the u.s., president trump nominated former delta executive and pilot steve dickson to lead the federal aviation administration. the agency has not had a permanent head in over a year. trump had wanted to nominate his personal pilot john dunkin but he faced scrutiny over his lack of qualifications. dickson's nomination comes as investigators are looking into the approval and development of boeing 737 max 8 jetliners in the wake of two fatal crashes -- last week's ethiopian airlines flight 302 and october's lion air flight 610 in inindonesia. both crashes killed all crew and passengers on board and were found to have clear similarities based on early data. reports are emerging the lion air flight almost went down the day before the deadly accident but an off-duty pilot was on board and knew to turn off the autopilot mode, which was likely pushing the nose of the plane down. on tuesdaytransportatation secrcretary elaine chao orderedn audit of the certification process for boeing's 737 max 8 aircraft. in texas, a massive fire at a petrochemical storage terminal in deer park, near h

the next day i should be in dickson visit the rays institute the legislative actions. so. brandy graham is a senior n.r.a. little beast it's a good tool to make sure congress maintains a pro-gun agenda. the united states a lot of times they don't look at all strong you know. there's a problem we have to make to knowing. she has a tip for one nation on how to mobilize pro-gun advocates work from the ground up. i don't care if you are right or only have six of your buddies. back to share as long as their twenty bucks for the organization or whatever it is trying to raise if we have it both need to spend forty dollars or more and that's the reason it was . come to this trial is probably one of the most important thing its first brother saw it comes with both drugs and you're trying to play. the n.r.a. would welcome one nation using the right to self-defense as an argument to change a stranger's jungle was. i think it would be very beneficial if you are all able to take steps in the right direction just start providing protection to people then again that helps us because the

dickson is donna done deal. ps to be approved. >> you will have to be confirmed. knew ross grandniece. she was delightful. what was he these revelatory issues, they are often abstract of people don't hit tension. but they failed to realize that actually failed regulation means people are one to die. when you know the person who died, it changes the whole story for you. it makes it real. so it is totally heartbreaking. at the faa, they have outsourced so much of the regulatory oversight to boeing. there is a real problem of how they can actualllly do their public duty again. you heard elwell say, we woululd need 10,000 new inspectors. i don't not about t that but thy will need more. the do not have the capacity of the agency so it will take some time to rebuild the agency. amy: let's move on to the hearing taking place today. the interior secretary and w w you have writtenen this open letter. >> out of all of the trump appointees, , this guy may be te most conflicted one coming in. he is in the running for the most conflicted cabinet appointee. he carries around a

and now to a dickson you know you witness the children's development and help them not just to learn but in the rest of their lives it's a cooperation in which the teacher not only influences the child but also the other way around. you learn together a lot so i'm going to you have. less i said the point for that will be how. i think that intolerance and hate speech is increasing these days. and i want to raise future adults to see things from different perspectives what you want to the young man to respect others' views on. teachers in finland have the freedom to pass on to the children what they think is important in this trust their teachers and see them as role models. it's a really good profession if i could. i become a teacher to see how to text and class because it's good when people want to learn something that there's someone there to teach them. see never any of this for us. apart from their school leaving exams finish people's don't have to take many standardized tests still finland school system is exemplary while it's no longer number one in the pisa international assess

white house announced earlier this month the nomination of former delta airlines executive steve dickson for that post joining us more for dettori attorney myles edwards now let me start just what was sponsibility does a as the regulatory body of the aviation community have to make sure these craft are properly vetted before taking to the skies. correct and one of the difficulties we have here is that there's a fundamental difference between the way aviation safety is regulated in the united states versus the way it's regulated in the european union for example and one thing that is really coming to light now especially during the senate hearings is the fact that since one thousand nine hundred fifty eight the federal aviation agency has the ability to delegate its oversight and compliance responsibility to third parties which means that if they can find qualified people other than themselves to certify the safety airworthiness of these planes they do and coincidentally enough in most cases it's the employees of the aircraft manufacturer so for example the boeing seven thirty seven max w

reporter: if steve dickson is confirmed he'll with a baptism of fire. federal grand jury issued a subpoena to persons close to the faa and/or boeing. the faa has long granted airplane manufacturers leeway in certifying their own planes. it's complex and the faa lacks the manpower to do it alone. but boeing was under competitive pressure to get that airplane certified quickly. among the flaws inspectors understated the power of the mcas. it was ape cobbler of moving the tail four times farther than stated in the initial document. inspectors assessed the level one below catastrophic. they want to know whether boeing other faa circumvented sound safety procedures to get the 737 max planes on the market. >> heads will roll if they are not confident in their data and the safety of this plane. reporter: the chairman said the company is cooperating with authorities. >> we have been working in full cooperation with the faa, the department of transportation and the national transportation safety board on all issues related to the lion air and ethiopian accidents

>> well, the new head of the faa proposed by the former former delta pilot, steve dickson is proficient in five boeing planes. he was head of the airline's operations and safety division. if he's confirmed, he will face a baptism of fire. elaine chao has requested an audit to compile a complete and detailed factual history of the details that resulted in the certification of the boeing 737 max 8. captain sully sullenberger had an op-ed of boeing having inadequate staffing, outsourcing and too cozy relationship between the industry and regulators. he added boeing in developing the 737 max 8 felt pressure to get the new aircraft to market as quickly as possible. we have been reporting that in the lion air crash last october, it was an off-duty pilot sitting in the cockpit's jump seat that saved the plane the day before it crashed. the plane was pitching wildly. he maintained his composure and flicked two switches that deacted the mcas, the automated pitch control that has been the subject of so much controversy. why lion air allowed that plane to fly the next day with a different crew una

cheryl.cheryl: steve dickson hn nominated to head the faa. it has been run by an acting chief for more than a year. it is facing mounting pressure over the certification of the boeing 737 max after two deadly crashes within five months. lauren: the faa is certainly under the microscope. we have new information about last year's crash in indonesia. an off-duty pilot reportedly saved the same 737 max from a crash a day prior. the pilot happened to be in the cockpit. he told the lion air crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight control system. the next day, under command of a different crew, the same plan crashed into the sea, killing all 189 people on board. according to reuters, the black boxes show it was a frantic scene the day the jet crashed. pilots tried desperately to fix the problem by flipping the pages of a handbook. cheryl: boeing remains under the microscope. doug mcelway is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: teams from the u.s. and around the world hard at work in ethiopia, trying to get more information about the deadl

niall dickson is the chief executive of the nhs confederation, which represents all those that plan,i don't see it as a rebuke at all. the fact is the health service has suffered catastrophic reduction in funding over this period compared with the demands that have been made upon it so anyway it is quite remarkable that these levels of satisfaction remained as high as they did. it is also worth pointing out that among those in this very good and robust survey, among those who actually had contact with the service, it was much higher. one of the reasons why gps number is higher than some of the others is because most people have had a contact with their general practitioner. if you look at inpatient services, it is as high as 83% among people who have had a treatment in the last year. i think this service is still doing well, but i think the general dissatisfaction is an honest reflection by the public of the kind of pressures which staff are filling, the amount of time people have to wait, and a sense that the service itself is struggling and it is struggling to meet many of the stan
