A design problem like the dents in his final five months or so this by instead pay to see a lot about their place. Also coming up tonight saving lives and risking their own tonight the red cross warning about the dangers inside business way low but have a world away in mozambique aid workers have a reason to smile. In two weeks. Its. Just. Out. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all the around the world welcome we begin the day with the first look inside the cockpit of Ethiopian Airlines flight three zero two just moments before it crashed nose first killing everyone on board and it is a terrifying image today in. Their preliminary report investigators said the pilots followed all the procedures recommended by boeing to bring the seven thirty seven max out of a nosedive even that using brute streams all of it in vain as the forces of two jet engines and gravity worked against the ethiopian authorities are recommending boeing review the Plane Software a process already underway no one today suggested that there may be a design flaw in the seven thirty seven max but this is the second time in half a year that an unstoppable nosedive has brought down boeings best selling plane march tenth was a clear morning Ethiopian Airlines flight three zero two had just left at its abbot for nairobi when it plummeted nose first into a field outside the theo capital a disaster that killed all one hundred fifty seven people on board but a preliminary report now rules out human error as the cause of the tragedy suggesting the crew did everything in their power to avoid the crash. Group of four made all the procedures. Repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control their craft. The boeing seven three seven max eight reportedly experienced erratic climbs and descents shortly after takeoff a situation similar to the one preceeding the crash of lyon air flight six one zero in october which killed one hundred eighty nine people. That it is very clear that they were not into new ways we do not have a accident because. Number one its the same airplane more than one to be on the other hand the flight the duration of the flights or source or mostly went up on a flight was six months six minutes very short right. Scrutiny is centered on an anti stall system that has repeatedly given pilots problems its designed to automatically lower the aircraft nose if it detects a stall or loss of airspeed anxious to wind back public trust in its products boeing announced last week it had reprogrammed the software on the seven three seven max to stop the anti stall system from triggering but the Us Federal Aviation Administration advised boeing to keep working on the proposed fix before submitting the system for a view. With this fastest selling plane grounded boeing isnt only facing increasing reputational issues analysts say a lengthy delay could cut the companys revenues by billions. More on this im joined now by aviation analyst julian bray he joins me from cambridge in england mr briggs good to see you again i want to get your take on something that we did not hear today the ethiopian authorities when they released this preliminary report they did not mention the word boeing why do you think that your voided the name of the planes manufacturer. This is a preliminary report its supposed to be without blame and they were trying to put out a great Technical Report. And also theyre trying to make sure that everybody knew it wasnt they have. Caused the plane to crash. They were saying it was the actual aircraft itself they probably didnt mention the name boeing because quite frankly there is no need because they are actually talking about the process itself that will come along later when start to fly about the authorities they recommended that boeing conduct a thorough check of the planes software and as i said at the beginning of the show know when suggested that there may be something greater here that is wrong such as a design flaw in the plane whats your take on the the cause of these two crashes is it just a Software Problem that can be fixed with a Software Patch and you know a little changes here in there. Well this is a difficult because regionally the original aircraft was very good but what they tried to do the max eight was to put. On it so fuel consumption would reduce by about thirty percent so this may be a very profitable aircraft because you know if youre carrying a large load factor and your fuel costs are down thirty percent obviously a small profit in it but the problem is this is an old aircraft that they have they have restructured shall we say and they put these two very large engines on well forward so the whole weight balance of the aircraft is different and thats why they had to bring in this Computer System to make sure the plane was absolutely level because what they didnt want it to do to go into a stall position which means that the nose is going up so the computer would bring it down but was of course happened was that the computer repeatedly brought the nose down until such a point of the nose was out he facing the ground and on the power drilled itself into the. I want to ask you mr bray about liability in this case we know that there are lawsuits being talked about against boeing but what about the federal Aviation Administration and the f. A. A. Giving the go ahead for the seven thirty seven max could this be a story of u. S. Deregulation that has gone too far and actually put the flying public in danger. Well put it round another way is a suggestion that the f. A. A. Which is a regulator of body. To close and in fact buying with sub contract to do some of the f. A. A. Is work and. This cozy relationship is being low by by well a series of lawyers and others way above my pay grade but the point is that has to be seen to be totally independent and the fact that they didnt come out immediately and ground the aircraft has really cool is a great problem well wanted and i think its going to be a long while before you actually see this aircraft back in the sky again and as for the Computer System itself they say theyve got Software Updates for it but really would you really want to be a guinea pig flying in this aircraft yeah i think most people would say they want to keep the seven thirty seven eight on the ground which is what boeing is doing right now. But we also have to remind our viewers that there are more planes flying today than ever before were talking about you know thousands of planes that take off and land every day with with no incidents and the f. A. A. And boeing have been the standard bearers of flying safety. Is that being lost in this story or are they no longer the deserving standard bearers of flight safety. Well youre quite right of course there are other aircraft which are quite happily flying around and the fact there are hundreds of thousands of flights every day and believed and all travel is safe its safer than taking a bus in london thats how safe it is but of course everybodys attention is on the on needs to really nasty crashes and really theyve got to get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what did happen and this process today the preliminary report is part of this process the report doesnt seek to apportion blame it is purely a Technical Report on what they found from the black boxes if you recall they recover the two black boxes and they were sent to paris because they have the solidity and they do coded everything thats on the black boxes and then sent it back to ethiopia because that is see area youre a station this particular incident. All right if you gave an expert julian bray joining us tonight mr bray as always we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. And. With each passing day the chances of britain crashing out of the European Union grows no e. U. Country would be impacted the same way by braggs it as the republic of ireland the good friday agreement of one thousand nine hundred eight ended decades of sectarian violence between ireland and Northern Ireland in part because it removed any and all border checks after brags that border checks into and out of the e. U. Will be necessary and that could destroy the fragile irish peace or today german chancellor Angela Merkel visited dublin and she brought the two messages a promise of European Solidarity with the republic of ireland and they call for patients with the u. K. As it tries to resolve its brights that blockage and she shared a personal story about her formative years in communist east germany behind the iron curtain she said that experience gives her a special understanding of the importance of tearing down walls and keeping them down. It was a musical most. Personally come from a country that was separated by a wall for many years into the muslim for thirty four years i lived behind the iron curtain and. I know what it means when walls fall and when borders disappear openside good and so im aware of the need to do all we can to uphold the peaceful coexistence here for which so many lives were sacrificed. Sleezy this is our that is the german chancellor speaking there in dublin our boards of analyst alex forrest wyoming is back at the big table with me good to see you the chancellor shes determined to avoid a no deal brechts it why didnt she say it in dublin when she could have just as easily said it here in berlin thats a good question i think one of them is as you said before saying to the well you stand shoulder to shoulder with the republic of ireland but i also think its an increasing fear of being felt in capitals and particularly in off the consequences of a no deal it on the island and particularly talk of a return to a halt or to remember the republic of ireland will stay with the e. U. Northern ireland is in the u. K. And up until twenty years ago when the good friday agreement was signed there was sectarian violence between the two three and a half thousand people died in the socalled troubles and no one wants to say i would turn to that and i think that is what is a big fear i want to take a listen to what the german chancellor said today about European Solidarity with ireland as briggs looms take a listen. This i hope from you so we do hope that the intensive discussions that are ongoing in london will lead to a situation by next wednesday when we have a special Council Meeting where Prime Minister theresa may well have something to table to us on the basis of which we can continue to talk but we want to stand together as twenty seven until the very last hour i can say this for the german side we will do everything in order to prevent a no deal breaks that britain crashing out of the e. U. But we have to do this together with britain and with their position that they will present to us the mines on because well tell you there was its almost become something if i read between the lines were alex what i hear is a german chancellor hes worried about the post brics that reality would the armys board if we go back to this hard border would there perhaps a return to violence would those problems then become a problem of the European Union well i think that that is a very real fear and i also think that there are politicians in the u. K. Particularly conservative politicians who are very aware of and probably dont think that is a bad idea that happens so its very sinister it is since a cynical it is but i do think if that is the case many many politicians are saying look this can be sorted out if you want it to be sorted out they dont want to have this socalled irish backstop which would keep the the u. K. In some kind of Customs Union which would prevent them from having outside trade deals as you know that is what the big fear is so i think that this will be very handy for them if it was blamed on the e. U. And the e. U. Con to four to have a problem like this on its hands its got enough problems it has to solve and to sort out and at the moment its so destructive of bricks it anyway that to be involved in any talk of a hard border would just be awful for them ok. So many Unanswered Questions about the irish border as well as briggs it in its entirety were are we in london tonight in terms of finding resolution to the briggss impasse to be honest were not very far off there are talks that have been ongoing since yesterday between the government and the Opposition Labor Party now that has angered to reason mays euro skeptics in her party she they really dislike Jeremy Corbyn the labor leader some of them calling him a marxist and asking why would he want to be talking to this man particularly when he would like that to be a softer bricks it so there are happy about that weve got there are talks that a letter to European Council president dont know tusk is in production asking for another delay to brets it but nobodys quite sure how long would last for and how long they want it to last fall there was last night in the house of commons a normal that was passed by one vote saying that they would have to be a delay to bricks it to stop and block a new dale thats now been in the Second Chamber the house of lords then now trying to figure out because so many in the of the conservatives dont like it so its a mess and then just as a bit of a metaphor i think for how brics it is in the u. K. At the moment to day in the house of commons it had to be adjourned to the chamber of the house of commons had to be adjourned and suspended because water started leaking through the roof so no what could be done a make of that what you will for and maybe to resubmit theresa may needs to build an ark like noah to save her from the bricks of flood will see as always alex thank you. For why is the irish border as fragile as it is when used for. Force now for the. Iconic images that have gone down in european history bloody sunday a deadly incident in derry one thousand nine hundred seventy two has become symbolic of the north and conflicts between pro Irish Republic catholics and pro britain protestants that conflict ended officially in one thousand nine hundred eight with the good friday Peace Agreement but historian Marisa Mcglinchey says many Irish Republicans to refuse to accept that deal for her recent book Unfinished Business the politics of dissident Irish Republicanism she interviewed some ninety radical pro irish nationalists who stand as commemorations right and today of socalled dissident organizations you will hear the c. M. Traditional republican ideology and message. As you would have heard in the seventys or eightys that ideology calls for a United Ireland and the end of practice rule in the north its also the subject of republican murals which continue to be painted in Northern Irelands analysis of the militant minority is a cause for concern these radical groups are prepared to go to any lengths in pursuit of their goals. They are realistic in their assessment that Popular Support and numbers arent what they have been in the past and so very much keep in the same burning as essential to their organization at present as one of the interviews said in the book depository and on for the next generation to. That means that below the surface the north niland conflict has still not been settled. One of the militant groups has agreed to a rare interview directed to a sleepy town somewhere in the countryside these members of the republican shin fein parties. Say that brecks it would actually help them in their course. Theres not a chance so why did all the president s go to jail lambs are volunteers killed will kill for nothing so you know we need to continue almighty to stop it again you know what republicanism is not the only defense against us border need to fight for reunification. And these radical republicans may not be alone in thinking that unification of violence is business that should be finished call them a clinch a thinks the ongoing bait has made the prospect of a United Ireland an increasingly realistic one even for moderates. People. Allowed. On so we do still children dynamics. Marissa mcglinchey analysis has brought her to the conclusion that once britain leaves the e. U. Europe will have to deal with the question of irish unification. And that its whale of mozambique malawi zimbabwe these are just the latest countries finding themselves in natural disasters or man made crises so dire that help from outside is a matter of life and death and with danger usually comes yet more danger no one knows that as well as aid workers with the red cross this week the International Committee of the red cross warned the United States of the risks involved in trying to bring humanitarian aid into business ways and that is only one flashpoint in South East Africa countries are still assessing the apocalyptic damage left by side clone and yet aid workers there say there is reason for hope. This. Was the first jew in its history there was. This. Scene was we was in two weeks. You were here a positive assessment there and to talk about aid in the red cross im joined by dominic still hard news director of Global Operations for the International Committee of the red cross its good to have you here on the show its not every day that we see red cross workers that happy especially when theyre in an area thats been hit by disaster must make you feel good to see a worker smiling absolutely absolutely yeah and at the same time i made the minds of many occasions where. I f
