with theto start ambassador from ethiopia, ethiopia for the first time in years has no journalists inson, it has unlocked most of its previously blocked sites, isch is hundreds, and it allowing now bloggers and non-governmental journalists to report, so aside from tunisia it is probably the brightest light in the world right now. i want to applaud you for that.

it's 11 am, and these are the main stories this morning: authorities in ethiopia have said the pilots flying the boeing 73 in passenger plane that crashed killing 157 people followed proper cockpit guidance but was still not able to control the aircraft. mps vote by a majority of one to force theresa may to seek a further extension to the brexit process. the bill is an attempt to stop a no—deal brexit. and talks continue this morning between the labour party and the conservatives as the government tries to salvage a brexit deal despite differences. talks yesterday we re despite differences. talks yesterday were described as constructive between jeremy corbyn were described as constructive betweenjeremy corbyn and theresa may. his manifesto says we need to deliver brexit, our manifesto says we need to deliver brexit. i think it is in the national interest to deliver on the results of the referendum because we are a democracy. iamat i am at westminster as those talks continue. we will bring you the updates as they happen as the brexit deadlock continues. the routine vaccination of girls

a 24-year-old was traveling for work when she was on the plane that crashed in ethiopia. she is described as a radiant spirit who was an advocate for healthcare. this is the first lawsuit filed on behalf of an american involved in the crash. the law firm filing the case is based in chicago. early reports indicate that pilate was attempting to troubleshoot the problem and was reading that airline manual as the plane started to malfunction shortly after takeoff. a separate plane will also be filed against the faa. it is on behalf of the family. the complaint accuses a breach of warranty, and civil conspiracy. the complaint states that boeing haphazardly rushed the 737 max eight to market with the knowledge and tactic approval of the u.s. faa. the decision to put profits over safety and regulators who enabled it must be held accountable for their reckless actions. we talked about this at a press conference this morning. >>> a sjsu student is speaking out against the new sexual misconduct policy. vinka radich says the man groped her in san jose's state library more than a yea
