N. Fact finding mission on the republican venezuela he says the evidence shows that president maduro and members of his government supported the tactics.

Important and injured execute no mandate what we can say is that if you thought it is and then smaller than what do you have to do now quite clearly or those with the nice incentives mind you so those investigations a horrific combination of failures by boeing engineers and mismanagement that is the conclusion of a u.

Yet another report and there isnt a lot that is particularly new here in terms of isolation but what this report is is the most comprehensive to date in terms of outlining the failures not only on the part of boeing the manufacturer but also on the part of the federal Aviation Administration or the agency that oversees aviation in the United States often referred to as the f. A. A. What they say in this report by House Democrats in the Transportation Committee is there was a pattern of technical miscalculations management misjudgments an oversight lapses and also a severe lack of accountability when it came to the oversight now what this basically says is there wasnt one singular event that caused these crashes but instead it was the culmination of technical assumptions not only by boeings engineers but also by the lack of transparency by the management so this is a particularly damning report for the company but also its sights gross mismanagement on the part of the f.

Japans emperor has formally inaugurated the new Prime Minister no she he is a long time ally of former Prime Minister shinzo who resigned last month for Health Reasons but pride has more from seoul. Its the ultimate victory for a selfmade politician yasha he had a super who in a career spanning decades has finally risen to the highest Political Office in the land. In contrast to many of japans previous Prime Ministers his previous sessa shinzo r. V. Included suger does not come from one of japans elite political dynasties hes the son of a strawberry farmer his elevation means a change in style but not in substance as a faithful right hand man to say he is expected to follow the same conservative economic policies while applying his acknowledged problem solving skills to the continuing coded 19 crisis and the ill fated Tokyo Olympics that the pandemic has delayed and now threatens to wreck a well known figure on the domestic political stage it was suga as powerful chief cabinet secretary who heralded last years succession of emperors unveiling the name of the new imperial era. His appointment as Prime Minister was confirmed at an imperial palace audience with emperor and narrow hito while hardworking and reliable many believe he lacks the charisma needed for the job in particular in his dealings with other world leaders. Thats something that comes naturally to shinzo of a who leaves the office having set a record as japans longest serving Prime Minister but i try so much i would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people who supported me in both tough and difficult times i submitted a method on the next today the sugar and demonstration will be born again i would like to ask for your strong support for the ruling l.

N. Representative in greece has asked for european help to house the residents there are fears the new camp will suffer the same overcrowding problems as the destroyed site Stephanie Decker has the latest now from lesbos. At the moment this is the only option the greek authorities are saying where they can ensure that the refugees in the migrants have you know food shelter and most importantly where theyre going to process their paperwork a lot of people are still reluctant you can probably see them having bought some some things in some supermarkets ahead and then they pull them back to the street where theyre currently living those that are not in the camp because the conditions in moria are down or so desperate and weve had a visit here of the u. N. Our head of the group office of the u. N. Agency that deals with refugees and i asked him you know they themselves have criticized whether you know he was satisfied with this one but this is what he had to say its not manageable to manage a camp with 5 times its capacity or even times the capacity that insomuch as we speak. Is a pushing the. The process so that people do not stay too long in these places this is still our message we hope that any new camp does not go.
