aviation authorities will require all airline companies in the united states to inspect emergency locater transmitters on their boeing 787 jets. this comes after a fire broke out on a 787 dreamliner at london's heathrow airport. officials at the u.s. federal aviation administration say the inspections are to ensure that wires are properly routed, and that that there is no unusual moisture or heating in the transmitter. british investigators say the device that sends out a distress signal may have been responsible for the fire on the ethiopian airlines jet. the device is installed in the jet's rear fuselage. the investigators have recommended that airline companies can disable the transmitter until proper measures are put in place. u.s. officials say they'll discuss their inspection plan with aviation authorities in japan and other countries where airlines are operating 787s, but the officials stopped short of making the airlines disable the service. >>> the finance ministers and central bank chiefs of the group of 20 economies are calling for a careful policy shift in u.s. monetary easing
