hello and welcome to london for this edition of global questions with me, zeinab badawi. young people may be less likely to become seriously ill with coronavirus or to die from it, yet their futures may be ravaged by the disease. with a global recession predicted to last for years, economies are heavily in debt. jobs are becoming more scarce. education has been interrupted, and social life disrupted. that s coronavirus crisis a lost generation? well, i m now inside the bbc‘s headquarters here in central london and we are bringing you our two panellists and our questioners via video link. theyjoin us from all over the world. let me tell you who is in the hot seat this week, giving the answers. emma theofelus, she is deputy minister of information in namibia and, get this she was only 23 years of age when she was given that post and, as part of her role, she gives daily briefings to the nation about how to prevent the spread of coronavirus. but emma has apparently just turned 24. and billiejd porter is a british film maker and journalist and is involved in an initiative to engage young people in politics called use your voice. she has recently been travelling around the world making documentaries including in china. welcome to you both. remember, you too canjoin in the conversation. it s #bbcglobalquestions. let s go to our first question and it is coming from nagpur, india. it has been three months since i saw my parents and i am sad not to see them and missing my daily routines as well. it is hard for everyone, but it is a big sacrifice and really hard for young people in particular. hard for young people in particular. are they really getting it worse in this coronavirus pandemic? minister, deputy minister, emma theofelus in namibia. thank you very much and thank you for the question. i do not think that the well being of young people necessarily has been sacrificed in this particular pandemic. in response to this pandemic. i think, at this point, everyone is feeling the same, young and old, and i do think that, as young people, we might have it harder because it is the prime of our lives. it is an opportunity for us to really be energetic and go out and do things. however, with this pandemic, of course, these expected feelings of sadness and isolation. however, we do need to keep a positive, you know, outlook on issues, see what we can do to assist with fighting the pandemic. because more and more across the world, young people do make the majority of the population. and even though the virus does not affect young people as much as older people health wise, it does affect a lot of us socially. we need to become more optimistic so we assist those that are most vulnerable to this virus. billie jd porter, do you agree with that? that young people aren t really getting it worse than anyone else? i mean, i think that the well being of people from all generations has been affected. i think that the ways that the elderly and people in care homes have been hit by this is one of the most dark things we ve seen since the virus took hold. i miss my friends as well. i think this has had a devastating effect on many people s mental health. my anxiety is through the roof. and i think that we all kind of collectively are going through something so unprecedented. but beyond this, i do feel that there is far too much pressure being placed on the individual, we are guilt tripping ourselves and one another for feeling this way. or if there is any flouting of the rules. in my mind, that is a very convenient distraction from the ways that politicians have failed us and what has actually placed us here. billie, i am just going to ask you, we have had questions on social media, or points, rather. rohina has asked, how will children adapt to life after they have just spent so much time with their parents? david said, family bonding has grown immensely during this lockdown period. so, i mean, that is a fairly positive point from david. but, actually, a lot of young people, teenagers in particular, are having to live in abusive households all over the world, aren t they? absolutely. i think that this is going to affect so many different people in such different ways. for me to sit here and say that i have collective or generalised advice would be irresponsible. i think that if you can reach out to communities of support online, then do that and know we are all reacting in a normal way to an abnormal situation. deputy minister, do you want to pick up that point about a lot of young people having to live in abusive or violent households, which is a big concern? yes. in namibia, the reports do suggest that after we had been locked down for over 35 days, there has been a spike in gender based violence cases. there has been a lot of domestic violence in homes. but also, the predatory nature of offenders online against children. so that has raised some concerns, and there has been some responses with social workers becoming more involved in the community to root out some of this issue. it has increased in a time where everyone is confined to their homes. some people are trapped with their abusers. thank you very much indeed for that response. we are going to go to an overseas student currently studying in london, and we have had a lot of questions along the lines that you have been asking from the very great number of worried students. so, fire away. what do you want to ask? i am an international student with the financial burden of a big student loan. i feel alone with no chance to get experience abroad or repay the loan making them more vulnerable. do you think will host countries and universities come to our rescue? right, billie, a lot of students worrid about loans all over the world and the question there is how do they repay their loans? it is a big headache. first of all, i want to say thank you for your question and i can t imagine what a difficult situation this is for you and i m very sorry that you have found yourself stranded away from home at a time like this. my advice to you would be to contact your university s student union and see if they can offer any guidance or support regarding your situation specifically. there are several funds and emergency grants for those experiencing financial hardship during this time, which could also be worth looking into. my overriding feeling is that we need to put pressures on the paris at the two freeze student loans at this time. it is immoral to force people to be locked indoors and for their interests to be going up. i am sorry that you are in this situation andl sorry that you are in this situation and i hope that you can find support through your student union. universities are in dire financial straits themselves, aren t they? some of them nearing collapse. very quickly on that point. that is the other side. there needs to be some kind of government bailout. i do not think that universities should expect students who are extremely vulnerable in this situation to be shouldering the same debts that they are. deputy minister, while you are answering that question on universities, let me give you some questions from social media because this affects school pupils as well. somebody says i cannot go to school and we are writing all of our exams from home. when will it be over and when will i go back to school? i and in yearten and when will i go back to school? i and in year ten and it is very hard for us. in year ten and it is very hard for us. education has really disrupted on top of the student loan? education has become a bit more difficult with the learning and online learning becoming a new norm with this pandemic and not many countries being able to change to that new mode of learning. and to quickly adapt to it during covid i9, that has made it a bit more difficult. with the resilience of learners and students all over the world and having the determination to continue their schooling, i think we can get through this. let s go now to the capital of latvia. what is your question? my question is what skills should young people develop to successfully overcome this crisis, both financially and mentally? a lot in that question there. deputy minister emma theofelus. skills to overcome the crisis financially and mentally. theofelus. skills to overcome the crisis financially and mentallylj think crisis financially and mentally.” think skills around communication and technology will come in handy in times such as this. but from a mentalfront, i would times such as this. but from a mental front, i would say the skill of being able to connect with human beings better. i think because of the rapid change in how technology now rules our lives, we have become disconnected to other human beings and understanding the surroundings that we live in and being more connected to theirs. perhaps for mental well being, let us go back to basics and appreciate the people around us and the things, the simple things, in nature that we can be more connected, be more prepared for such a pandemic in future. let me just inject one statistically before i come to you billie, the united nations says one in five people have stopped working jangly coronavirus pandemic. even those who had remained in work have seen their hours greatly reduced big concern for young people who are disproportionately concentrated in sectors like hospitality. during the. what is your response to what skills young people need?” the. what is your response to what skills young people need? i agree that this pandemic has shown us that learning to connects digitally. one upshot if you can call it that of this entire crisis is that the workforce has been globalised somewhat. you have companies who said they are never going back to their office and it means that the playing field has been widened. if there is a candidate who is in another continent who seems like they are a better fit for a role, that could mean that opportunities are opening up. in terms of us using this as an opportunity to learn skills, though, it is difficult to put pressure on yourself during this time. ithink put pressure on yourself during this time. i think lots of people have used this as an opportunity to learn new skills, learn a new language, get to work on personal projects they have been neglecting. for other people, that isjust not realistic. when we talk about financial skills, like you say, similar people do not have the luxury of being able to think about how they are going to manage their money better or how they are going to safeguard their future financially when they don t have those earnings coming in. but i do hope that this whole thing might teach us where best to spend our money and to do it any more mindful way. i think if there is one good thing that might come out of the crisis is that we are more mindful of where we spend our money. we do not need to be spending it on fast fashion, fancy restaurants or on all of this waste. from coventry in the uk, what you want to ask? why have race and class inequalities been reproduced yet again in the fight against coronavirus? billie, what is your answer to catherine? against coronavirus? billie, what is your answer to catherine ?” against coronavirus? billie, what is your answer to catherine? i don t think that race and class inequalities have been reproduced. they have always been there and they have never gone away. i read a statistic that members of the bame community are four times more likely to die from the virus. they have also been subject to many more fines and penalised far more intensely by law enforcement if they have been seen to be breaking the rules about social distancing. there has been a hugely disproportionate impact on people of colour. these are socioeconomic disparities have been sad realities long before this virus took hold and i think it is devastating that it has taken this for people to realise that. it is notjust for people to realise that. it is not just about the risk of the virus itself. it is about the uncertainty of our future and, in a landscape where unemployment is going to be rife and incredibly competitive, how much more likely is a white person going to be to land a job than a person of colour? these issues predates covid 19 and they will out of date this unless the system changes. put simply, our political class as a whole is to white. it has served its own interest for too long and the only things that will change truly is if our political class diversifies. i do agree that inequalities will be exacerbated. if anything, covid i9 just came to china brighter light on this. if you look, before shine a brighter light. you can only expect an increase in how many young people are unemployed. before covid i9, a lot of internships were not paying people. even after, i am sure a lot of white capitalist monopolists would argue that they do not have money to pay interns which are more likely to be young people with no experience and therefore cannot gain experience and therefore cannot gain experience for future employment. definitely, the covid i9 came to us and these inequalities, they existed before, they will exist afterwards, they will just become before, they will exist afterwards, they willjust become bigger. catherine, what you want to say to oui’ catherine, what you want to say to our two panellists? why did you ask that question and what is your thoughts on the answer?” that question and what is your thoughts on the answer? i really like the answer is the analysts gave. i think they are very honest andi gave. i think they are very honest and i think it is important to ask these kind questions that are very difficult to answer. i believe it is crucial for governments and organisations to take an intersectional approach to looking at how working class and people from bame backgrounds have been affected more than other people in the world. thank you very much indeed, catherine. we are now going to go to the capital nigeria. you will forgive me if i say this, but we can just see by looking at you that you are ourtaken just see by looking at you that you are our taken member of the older generation amongst our questioners. what is your question about the impact of coronavirus on the younger generation? it has been said that young people are the most vulnerable. my question is that whatever government is going to tackle the problems that face the future of young people? how is the government going to realise that? at the moment, you will find that young people i d be ones that are the centre. they are not dying, but their futures are uncertain because of the disease. so what is the government going to do post covid i9? government going to do post covid-19? deputy minister emma theofelus, what do you want to say? yesterday coincidentally, our budget was tabled as a country. in this budget, it does entail one area that is to securejob budget, it does entail one area that is to secure job security for eve ryo ne is to secure job security for everyone in the country during covid i9. in it are all types of interventions around tax reform, around social sectors getting more funding to ensure that education is not severely disrupted and, especially, this goes to young people, but also, more importantly, entrepreneurship that the government does not take a big hit. do you target innovation by governments in the way that emma has been describing? i believe that the question shouldn t necessarily be what should the government do rather who should that government be? i live between the united states and the united kingdom, the two countries who have reported the most deaths from the virus and i certainly don t think that people who have got us into this mess are going to get us out of it. i believe that has been one of the most distressing things for young people to watch. it is how this crisis has so to watch. it is how this crisis has so plainly demonstrated, just let down after let down by those in power. do you want to come back? i agree with the minister that the government needs to do a lot. i don t think that they should just be left out like that because parents at this point are supporting the young, the backbone of this generation, they really don t have support and their futures are bleak. the government has a role to play in the lives of the young. the crime rate across the world is going to soar. the earlier the government ta kes soar. the earlier the government takes decisive action, the better. thank you very much indeed. let s go to dubai. your question, please. thank you so much for all the a nswe i’s we thank you so much for all the answers we have been given. i have been concerned about the impact after the coronavirus situation. the impact concerns the physical, economic, social, moral and psychological impact on young people. how are these people going to redefine themselves and is there a need to redefine themselves culturally in the mindset? how is this going to happen? a question about this going to happen? a question a bout lifestyle this going to happen? a question about lifestyle is being redefined and, actually, that is something we had a lot on social media about. questions about will life ever go back to how it was? gigs, pubs, cinema, theatre? young people do like to enjoy an active social life wherever they are. physical interaction, also something very important for young people. we ll be be able to see our partners again. some of us do not live with them. let s go to you on that, billiejd porter. i wish i knew the answer to that question. i wish it every single day. in a word, yes, i do think our lifestyles will be redefined by this and, in a sense, i think they will be forever changed. i think that even if a vaccine is developed, how long will it take until people get widespread access to it? i do feel like we need to adapt. i see lots of people across social media talking about what they wa nt social media talking about what they want to do when this is over. what they want to do when life goes back to normal, quotes on quote. i do not know if there will be a normal. i think that the normal will be forever changed by this. i really, really hope we will be going back to festivals and parties and pubs and restaurants soon, but i am not holding out much hope for that reality anytime soon at least. are you also a bit pessimistic, deputy minister? if i am you also a bit pessimistic, deputy minister? ifi am being honest, no. iam minister? ifi am being honest, no. i am actually positive. perhaps many of my contacts are different. we have only had 22 cases in namibia. the impact of social distancing, being locked down at home, it is still the same. but i do agree with billie to say that we cannot go back toa billie to say that we cannot go back to a normal. covid i9 was a wake up call and is a wake up call. the way we interact as young people, of course, things we enjoyed like festivals and so on, we can still do those should a vaccine found and become more creative and innovative in how we enjoy those activities. we cannot also will out that climate change is still a reality. it has not pounced on us like covid i9 did, but it is still something to be concerned about. much of our lifestyle d id have concerned about. much of our lifestyle did have an impact on the environment, and the way we are living, it ll have an impact on our future. we do need to get to a new normal, a new way of doing things, because the way we were doing things is not sustainable and we do need to change. but a change for the better that can accommodate our interests and needs but also the interests of the whole world and the planet. there you are in the uk and there you are in namibia. is there anything, emma, you would like to put to billie? billie, i wish you would have more faith. this virus has a lot of impact on feelings and oui’ has a lot of impact on feelings and our view, whether it is governments, social actors, but i did think this isa time social actors, but i did think this is a time where our humanity should give everybody the benefit of the doubt. and be more positive and how we approach issues and, hopefully, all of us together, working together, regardless of how we want together, regardless of how we want to get to the end result or product, that we are able to get through this together. i do have my heart out to you, the us and the uk being worst hit and me having a different context. but i think that as young people, there is hope. if we can get through this particular pandemic as young people, anything that catches us young people, anything that catches us in future, we who are going to be here for the next years, we can get through it together.” here for the next years, we can get through it together. i am really grateful for all of that and i think that all of your messages of strength and resilience and confidence in us bouncing back from this are very, very much needed. i realised that my kind of glass half empty attitude is a bit pessimistic, as you say, but i think your people are very lucky to have a politician like you during this time. let me ask you, questioners, i wanted to put your thumbs up if you agree that the coronavirus pandemic has had the worst impact on the lives of young people, economically, financially, psychologically? put up your thumb is if you think that it has affected young people disproportionately. so five out of the six. the five young people asking the questions have all said that they feel a little bit pessimistic about the future. emma theofelus there in namibia and billie jd porter in theofelus there in namibia and billiejd porter in the uk, you had told us, one of you is a bit more optimistic and the other is a bit more down about it. i hope we have turned somewhat like their only made of younger people all over the world. thank you ve very much indeed for watching this edition of our special on coronavirus, looking at what has been described as the lockdown generation, the lost generation. remember, this is a programme that brings you the trend lines behind the headlines. from me and the rest of the global question s team, thank you to our panellists, our questioners and wherever you are watching this, goodbye. hello there. we are ending the month of may pretty much how we started, and that is on pretty much how we started, and that isona pretty much how we started, and that is on a dry, sunny and warm note. we will start to see some changes to the weather as we reach the middle pa rt the weather as we reach the middle part of this new week. a fine end to the day and overnight it looks as though skies will be clear for most. we could see a bit of low cloud and see fog rolling in towards eastern england and eastern scotland. temperatures ranging from seven to 13 degrees. for a monday morning, dry, sunny and a warm one for many. low cloud and fog will tend to play away from the north east. into the afternoon, we could see some fair weather cloud bubbling up in response to the temperatures. another 11 to come in western scotland, western parts of northern ireland. high temperatures could spark off an isolated had a shower, but most places will be dry. widespread sunshine in england and wales. an onshore breeze will take this temperatures back. the highest temperatures in central and western areas beating the mid 20s and you the levels will be higher across the board. the the levels will be higher across the boa rd. the change the levels will be higher across the board. the change taking place across the north of the country on tuesday, a cold front pushing southwards into northern scotland. it will introduce more cloud and outbreaks of rain, some of which will be heavier into the afternoon. elsewhere across the country, it is another fine, afternoon. elsewhere across the country, it is anotherfine, dry, sunny and warm day, highs of 27 or 28. much cooler across the northern half of scotland than what we have had over the past few days. we will see the change in the midweek. patchy rain for some of us and we will also see a drop in temperatures as northerly wind begins. tending to wea ken as northerly wind begins. tending to weaken as it reaches southern parts of the country, so rainfall totals will be variable. we will notice as we reach the middle or latter part of the week, we have got colder air expected to spread southwards across the uk. we could see patchy rain at times on wednesday and thursday, though not much getting to the areas where we needed across the south east and the temperatures will start to full away by the end of the week. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. us protests spread from minneapolis to at least 30 different cities following the death of george floyd, a black man, in police custody. president trump blames looters, and leftwing

some of them perhaps nearing collapse. very quickly on that point, that is the other side. absolutely. there needs to be some kind of government bailout. i do not think that universities should expect students who are extremely vulnerable in this situation to be shouldering the same debts that they are. all right. deputy minister, while you are answering that question on universities, let me give you some questions from social media because this affects school pupils as well. somebody says, i cannot go to school and we are writing all of our exams from home. when will it be over and when will i go back to school?

hello. my question is what skills should young people develop to successfully overcome this crisis, both financially and mentally? what a lot in that question there. deputy minister emma theofelus. skills to overcome the crisis financially and mentally. i think skills around communication and technology will come in handy in times such as this. but from a mental front, i would say the skill of being able to connect with human beings better. i think because of the rapid change in how technology now rules our lives, we have become disconnected to other human beings and understanding the surroundings that we live in and being more connected to those. so perhaps for mental well being, let us go back to basics and appreciate the people around us and the things, the simple things, in nature that we can be more connected to, to be more prepared for such a pandemic in future. let mejust inject one statistic before i come to you, billie, the united nations says one in five young people have stopped working during the coronavirus pandemic. even those who have remained in work have seen their hours greatly reduced and also big concerns for young people who are disproportionately concentrated in sectors like hospitality, who have been badly affected. what is your response to what skills young people need? i d have to agree that obviously this pandemic has shown us that us learning to connect digitally and us learning to be able to move our workforce remote has been really, really important throughout this and i suppose one upshot, if you can call it that, of this entire crisis is that the workforce has been globalised somewhat. you have companies who said they are never going back to their office and it means that the playing field has been widened. if there is a candidate who is in another continent who seems like they are a better fit for a role, that could mean that opportunities are opening up. in terms of us using this as an opportunity to learn skills, though, it is difficult to put pressure on yourself during this time. i think lots of people have used this as an opportunity to learn new skills, learn a new language, get to work on personal projects they have been neglecting. for other people, that isjust not realistic. when we talk about financial skills, like you say, so many people do not have the luxury of being able to think about how they are going to manage their money better or how they are going to safeguard their future financially when they don t have those earnings coming in. but i do hope that this whole thing might teach us where best to spend our money and to do it in a more mindful way. i think if there is one good thing that might come out of the crisis it s that we are more mindful of where we spend our money. we do not need to be spending it on fast fashion, fancy restaurants or on all of this waste. thank you. let s go to our next question from coventry in the uk, what do you want to ask? hello, my question is, why have race and class inequalities been reproduced yet again in the fight 7 billie, what is your answer to catherine? i don t think that race and class inequalities have been reproduced. they have always been there and they have never gone away. i read a statistic that members of the bame community are four times more likely to die from the virus. they have also been subject to many more fines and penalised far more intensely by law enforcement if they have been seen to be breaking the rules about social distancing. there has been a hugely disproportionate impact on people of colour. but these socioeconomic disparities have been sad realities long before this virus took hold and i think it is devastating that it has taken this for people to realise that. it is notjust about the risk of the virus itself, it is about the uncertainty of our future and, in a landscape where unemployment is going to be rife and it s going to be incredibly competitive, how much more likely is a white person going to be to land a job than a person of colour? these issues predate covid 19 and they will outdate covid unless the system changes. put simply, our political class as a whole is too white. it has served its own interests for too long and the only way that things will change truly is if our political class diversifies. a job deputy minister. i do agree that inequalities will be exacerbated. if anything, covid i9 just came to shine a brighter light on this. if you look before covid, the unemployment rates among young people were very high. and now with covid i9, a lot have actually lost theirjobs. so you can only expect an increase in how many young people are unemployed. before covid, a lot of internships were not paying people. even after covid, i am sure a lot of white capitalist monopolists, especially in my country, would argue that they do not have money to pay interns, which are more likely to be young people with no experience and therefore cannot gain experience for future employment. definitely, covid i9 came to us and these inequalities, they existed before, they will exist afterwards, they willjust become bigger. catherine, what do you want to say to our two panellists? why did you ask that question and what is your thought on the answer? firstly, i really like the answers the pannelists gave. i think they are very honest and i think it is important to ask these kind of questions that are very difficult to answer because i believe it is crucial for governments and organisations to take an intersectional approach to looking at how working class and people from bame backgrounds have been affected more than other people in the world. thank you very much indeed, catherine. we are now going to go to the capital of nigeria, abuja. you will forgive me if i say this, but we can just see by looking at you that you are our token member of the older generation amongst our questioners. what is your question about the impact of coronavirus on the younger generation? young people, just as has been said, are the most vulnerable. my question would be that what are governments across the world going to do to tackle the problems that face the future of young people? what does the future portend for them? how is the government going to support them in realising their goal in life? because at the moment, you will find that young people are the ones that are the centre of this. they are not dying, but their futures are uncertain because of the disease. so what is the government going to do post covid i9? deputy minister of information in namibia, emma theofelus, what is your answer? thank you very much for your question. just yesterday, coincidentally, our minister of finance here tabled our budget as a country. it s a 72.8 billion namibian dollar budget. in this budget, it does entail one area that is to secure job security for everyone in the country during covid i9. in it are all types of interventions around tax reform, around social sectors getting more funding to ensure that education is not severely disrupted and, especially, this goes to young people, but also, more importantly, that youth entrepreneurship in the country does not take a big hit. billie, do we need targeted intervention by governments in the way that emma has been describing? absolutely, but i suppose i believe that the question shouldn t necessarily be what should the government do, but rather who should that government be? i live between the united states and the united kingdom, the two countries who have reported the most deaths from the virus and i certainly don t think that the people who have got us into this mess are going to get us out of it. i believe that has been one of the most distressing things for young people to watch. it is how this crisis has so plainly demonstrated, just let down after let down by those in power. do you want to come back? i agree with the minister that the government needs to do a lot. i don t think that they should just be left out like that because parents who are at this point are supporting the young, parents who are the backbone of this generation, they re getting sick and dying. if they don t have support, their futures are bleak. i think the government has a cardinal role to play in the lives of the young. if you leave them, the crime rate across the world is going to soar. the earlier the government takes very decisive action, the better. thanks very much indeed. let s go to dubai. your question, please. thank you so much for all the answers we have been given. i have been concerned about the impact after the coronavirus situation. the impacts concerning the physical, economic, social, moral and psychological on young people. it is going to have an impact on them. how are these people going to redefine themselves and is there a need to redefine themselves culturally in the mindset? how is this going to happen? a question about lifestyles being redefined and, actually, that is something we had a lot on social media about. questions about will life ever go back to how it was? gigs, pubs, cinema, theatre? young people do like to enjoy an active social life wherever they are. physical interaction, also something very important for young people. will we be able to see our partners again? some of us do not live with them. let s go to you on that, billie jd porter. i wish i knew the answer to that question. i wish it every single day. in a word, yes, i do think our lifestyles will be redefined by this and, in a sense, i think they will be forever changed. i think that even if a vaccine is developed, how long will it take until people get widespread access to it? i do feel like we need to adapt. i see lots of people across social media talking about what they want to do when this is over. what they want to do when life goes back to normal, quote on quote. i do not know if there will be a normal. i think that the normal will be forever changed by this. i really, really hope we will be going back to festivals and parties and pubs and restaurants soon, but i am not holding out much hope for that reality anytime soon, at least. are you also a bit pessimistic, deputy minister? if i am being honest, no. i am actually positive. perhaps many of my contexts a re different. we have only had 22 cases in namibia. no death here. the impact of social distancing, being locked down at home, it is still the same. but i do agree with billie to say that we cannot go back to normal. covid i9 was a wake up call and is a wake up call. the way we interact as young people, of course, things we enjoyed like festivals and so on, we can still do those, should a vaccine be found, and become more creative and innovative in how we enjoy those activities. the truth is we cannot rule out that climate change is still a reality. though it has not pounced on us like covid i9 did, it is still something to be concerned about. much of our lifestyle did have an impact on the environment, and the way we are living, it ll have an impact on our future. so we do need to get to a new normal, a new way of doing things, because the way we were doing things was not sustainable and we do need to change. but a change for the better that can accommodate our interests and needs but also the interests of the whole world and the planet. there you are in the uk and there you are in namibia. is there anything, emma, you would like to put to billie? billie, i wish you would have more faith. this virus has a lot of impact on feelings and our view, whether it is governments, social actors, but i did think this is a time where our humanity should give everybody the benefit of the doubt. and be more positive in how we approach issues and, hopefully, that all of us together, working together, regardless of how we want to get to the end result or product, that we are able to get through this together. so i do have my heart out to you, the us and the uk being worst hit and me having a different context. but i think that as young people, there is hope. if we can get through this particular pandemic as young people, anything that catches us in future, we who are going to be here for the next years, we can get through it together. what do you want to say to emma? i am really grateful for all of that and i think that all of your messages of strength and resilience and confidence in us bouncing back from this are very, very much needed. i realise that my kind of glass half empty attitude is a bit pessimistic, as you say, but i think your people are very lucky to have a politician like you during this time. let me ask you, questioners, i want you to put your thumbs up if you agree that the coronavirus pandemic has had the worst impact on the lives of young people, economically, financially, psychologically? put up your thumbs if you think that it has affected young people disproportionately. so five out of the six. the five young people asking the questions have all said that they feel a little bit pessimistic about the future. emma theofelus there in namibia and billie jd porter in the uk, you have told us, one of you is a bit more optimistic and the other is a bit more down about it. i hope we have thrown some light on the mood of younger people all over the world. thank you ve very much indeed for watching this edition of our special on coronavirus, looking at what has been described as the lockdown generation, the lost generation. remember, this is a programme that brings you the trend lines behind the headlines. from me and the rest of the global questions‘ team, thank you to our panellists, our questioners and wherever you are watching this, goodbye. hello there. on monday, the temperature reached 28 celsius, and it was the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland. and whilst it s going to be another very warm day for many today, the outlook is for it to turn much, much cooler. what s happening? well, we ve been dominated by high pressure for weeks now, which has brought us the warm and sunny weather. the high is retreating into the atlantic, and to the north of that weather front, there is much cooler air. that cooler air will get swept down across the whole of the country later this week as a northerly wind develops. there is likely to be some rain around as well. now early morning, we ve got rain across the far north of scotland. otherwise, it s dry, clear, temperatures typically 8 11. and once any early mist and fog patches clear away from england and wales, it s going to be another sunny, warm day for many places. but we ve got rain in northern scotland, where it s cooler, and we could see showers and cloud developing further south across scotland into the far north of england later, and also potentially in northern ireland. so here, temperatures will be 22 degrees. the highest temperatures are likely to be towards the southeast of england, say, 27 in the london area. it will be as windy as it s been over the past few days also. so we ve got cooler air heading ourway. there s also going to be some rain in that cooler air, but it could prove rather hit and miss, and of course there were large parts of the country that were extremely dry during may. and we re uncertain as to how much rain there will be on wednesday across east anglia and the southeast of england. maybe a bit wetter across other parts of england and into wales, and probably largely dry in northern ireland and the western side of scotland. but there will be a stronger northerly wind, which will make it feel cooler everywhere. temperatures are continuing to drop away, probably peaking at 20 degrees in the south east. and those temperatures actually are near normal, really, for this time of year. given how warm it s been, this is going to be a bit of a shock to the system. move things to thursday, and those temperatures fall even further, perhaps a few degrees below average for this time in june. and on thursday, there ll be a lot of cloud around. it may not be quite as windy. at one stage, it looked like most of the showers will be in the north. looks like the showers are moving further south across england and wales. where s the high pressure by the end of the week? here, well away from the uk. we ll be dominated by low pressure, stronger winds, cooler air and the potential of showers on friday. this is bbc news, i m mike embley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. a stark warning from president trump that he will deploy the army to end the widespread protests across the country triggered by the death in police custody of the unarmed african american, george floyd. if a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then i will deploy the united states military, and quickly solve the problem for them. in minneapolis, the official post mortem examination finds the death was a homicide. the victim s brother tells demonstrators violence would not bring the changes, the black community deserves.
killed. now on bbc news, before the coronavirus lockdown, professional dancerjoel kioko returned to his home city nairobi, meeting dance students emerging from a thriving classical ballet scene in kenya. hello, and welcome to the issue of global questions. young people might become less likely with coronavirus but their futures may be ravaged by the disease. with a global recession predicted to last for years, economies are heavily in debt. jobs are becoming more scarce, education interrupted and social i ve disrupted. well i m now inside the bbc headquarters in central london and we re bringing you our two and our questioners via video link and they join us from all over the world. that me tell you who is in the hot seat this week, giving the answers. emma theophilus as deputy minister of information in namibia and get this, she was only 23 years of age when she was given the post and as pa rt when she was given the post and as part of her role, she gives daily briefing to the nation about how to prevent the spread of coronavirus. emma has apparently just prevent the spread of coronavirus. emma has apparentlyjust turned 24. and billyjd porter is involved in an initiative to engage young people in politics called use your voice. she has recently been travelling around the world making documentaries including in china. you canjoin documentaries including in china. you can join the conversation, it s hashtag bbc global questions. let s go to ourfirst hashtag bbc global questions. let s go to our first question and it is nisha and montgomery in nagpur or india. it s been three months since i ve seen my friends. it s hard for eve ryo ne i ve seen my friends. it s hard for everyone but it s a big sacrifice and very hard for young people in particular. there is the rub. wide ha rd particular. there is the rub. wide hard for young people in particular, are they getting it worse this pandemic? minister, deputy minister in namibia. thank you very much and thank you for the question. i don t think the well being has been sacrificed. but i think as we might haveit sacrificed. but i think as we might have it harder. however, with this pandemic, these feelings of sadness and isolation, we do need to keep a positive outlook on issues, see what we can do to assist with fighting the pandemic. young people do make up the pandemic. young people do make upa the pandemic. young people do make up a majority of the population and even though the virus does not affect us as young people as it does the older people healthwise, it does affect all of us socially and we need to become more optimistic so we assist those that are the most vulnerable to this virus. billy jd porter, do you agree with that that young people aren t getting it worse than anybody else? i mean, i think the well being than anybody else? i mean, i think the well being of than anybody else? i mean, i think the well being of people from all generations has been affected. the ways that the elderly and people in ca re ways that the elderly and people in care homes have been hit by this is one of the most dark things we ve seen since the virus took hold. i miss my friends as well. this is had a debited devastating effect on so a debited devastating effect on so many people s mental health. my anxieties through the roof and i think we all kind of collectively are going through something so unprecedented. but beyond this, i do feel there is far too much pressure being placed on the individual, we are guilt tripping ourselves the feeling this way or if there is any flouting of the rules. in my mind, it s a very convenient distraction for the way politicians have failed us for the way politicians have failed us and what has placed us here. how will children adapt to life after they ve spent so much time with their parents. david says family bonding has grown immensely. that is a positive point but actually a lot of young people are teenagers in particular having to leave in abusive households all over the world. this is going to affect people in such a different way. to say i have collective or generalised advice would be irresponsible. i think that if you can reach out to communities of support on line and do that, we are all black thing to a normal way to an abnormal situation. deputy minister, do you want to pick up deputy minister, do you want to pick up that point about a lot of young people having to live in abusive or violent households, which is a big concern? in namibia, the courts do suggest that after we ve been in lockdown for over 35 days, there has been a spike in gender based violence cases. a lot of violence in homes but also the predatory nature of offenders on line against children. there has been responses. or social workers becoming more involved in the community, to root out some of these issues so it has increased in a time where everyone is confined to their homes. thank you very much indeed for that response. now, we are going to go to an overseas student currently studying in london, and we have had a lot of questions along the lines that you have been asking from a very great number of worried students. so, fire away. what do you want to ask? i am an international student with the financial burden of a big student loan. i feel alone with no fair chance to get experience abroad or repay my loans, or repay the loan, making me more vulnerable. do you think, will host countries and universities come to our rescue? right, billie, a lot of students worried about loans all over the world and the question there is how do they repay their loans? it is a big headache. yeah, well, first of all, i want to say thank you for your question and i can t imagine what a difficult situation this is for you and i m very sorry that you have found yourself stranded away from home at a time like this. my advice to you would be to contact your university s student union and see if they can offer any guidance or support regarding your situation specifically. there are several funds and emergency grants for those experiencing financial hardship during this time, which could also be worth looking into, but my overriding feeling is that we need to put pressures on the powers that be to freeze student loans at this time. it is immoral to expect people to be locked indoors and for their interests to be creeping up. i am sorry that you are in this situation and i hope that you can find support through your student union. very quickly, billie, you say freeze student loans, but universities are in dire financial straits themselves, aren t they? some of them perhaps nearing collapse. very quickly on that point, that is the other side. absolutely. there needs to be some kind of government bailout. i do not think that universities should expect students who are extremely vulnerable in this situation to be shouldering the same debts that they are. all right. deputy minister, while you are answering that question on universities, let me give you some questions from social media because this affects school pupils as well. somebody says, i cannot go to school and we are writing all of our exams from home. when will it be over and when will i go back to school? i am in year ten and it is very hard for us. education is really being disrupted, isn t it, on top of the student loans issue? yes, education has become a bit more difficult with e learning and online learning becoming a new norm with this pandemic and not many countries being ready to actually change to that new mode of learning, and to quickly adapt to it during covid i9, that has made it a bit more difficult. however, with the resilience of learners and students all over the world and having the determination to continue their schooling, i think we can get through this. let s go now to the capital of latvia, riga. what is your question? hello. my question is what skills should young people develop to successfully overcome this crisis, both financially and mentally? what a lot in that question there. deputy minister emma theofelus. skills to overcome the crisis financially and mentally. i think skills around communication and technology will come in handy in times such as this. but from a mental front, i would say the skill of being able to connect with human beings better. i think because of the rapid change in how technology now rules our lives, we have become disconnected to other human beings and understanding the surroundings that we live in and being more connected to those. so perhaps for mental well being, let us go back to basics and appreciate the people around us and the things, the simple things, in nature that we can be more connected to, to be more prepared for such a pandemic in future. let mejust inject one statistic before i come to you, billie, the united nations says one in five young people have stopped working during the coronavirus pandemic. even those who have remained in work have seen their hours greatly reduced and also big concerns for young people who are disproportionately concentrated in sectors like hospitality, who have been badly affected. what is your response to what skills young people need? i d have to agree that obviously this pandemic has shown us that us learning to connect digitally and us learning to be able to move our workforce remote has been really, really important throughout this and i suppose one upshot, if you can call it that, of this entire crisis is that the workforce has been globalised somewhat. you have companies who said they are never going back to their office and it means that the playing field has been widened. if there is a candidate who is in another continent who seems like they are a better fit for a role, that could mean that opportunities are opening up. in terms of us using this as an opportunity to learn skills, though, it is difficult to put pressure on yourself during this time. i think lots of people have used this as an opportunity to learn new skills, learn a new language, get to work on personal projects they have been neglecting. for other people, that isjust not realistic. when we talk about financial skills, like you say, so many people do not have the luxury of being able to think about how they are going to manage their money better or how they are going to safeguard their future financially when they don t have those earnings coming in. but i do hope that this whole thing might teach us where best to spend our money and to do it in a more mindful way. i think if there is one good thing that might come out of the crisis it s that we are more mindful of where we spend our money. we do not need to be spending it on fast fashion, fancy restaurants or on all of this waste. thank you. let s go to our next question from coventry in the uk, what do you want to ask? hello, my question is, why have race and class inequalities been reproduced yet again in the fight 7 billie, what is your answer to catherine? i don t think that race and class inequalities have been reproduced. they have always been there and they have never gone away. i read a statistic that members of the bame community are four times more likely to die from the virus. they have also been subject to many more fines and penalised far more intensely by law enforcement if they have been seen to be breaking the rules about social distancing. there has been a hugely disproportionate impact on people of colour. but these socioeconomic disparities have been sad realities long before this virus took hold and i think it is devastating that it has taken this for people to realise that. it is notjust about the risk of the virus itself, it is about the uncertainty of our future and, in a landscape where unemployment is going to be rife and it s going to be incredibly competitive, how much more likely is a white person going to be to land a job than a person of colour? these issues predate covid 19 and they will outdate covid unless the system changes. put simply, our political class as a whole is too white. it has served its own interests for too long and the only way that things will change truly is if our political class diversifies. deputy minister. i do agree that inequalities will be exacerbated. if anything, covid i9 just came to shine a brighter light on this. if you look before covid, the unemployment rates among young people were very high. and now with covid i9, a lot have actually lost theirjobs. so you can only expect an increase in how many young people are unemployed. before covid, a lot of internships were not paying people. even after covid, i am sure a lot of white capitalist monopolists, especially in my country, would argue that they do not have money to pay interns, which are more likely to be young people with no experience and therefore cannot gain experience for future employment. definitely, covid i9 came to us and these inequalities, they existed before, they will exist afterwards, they willjust become bigger. catherine, what do you want to say to our two panellists? why did you ask that question and what is your thought on the answer? firstly, i really like the answers the pannelists gave. i think they are very honest and i think it is important to ask these kind of questions that are very difficult to answer because i believe it is crucial for governments and organisations to take an intersectional approach to looking at how working class and people from bame backgrounds have been affected more than other people in the world. thank you very much indeed, catherine. we are now going to go to the capital of nigeria, abuja. you will forgive me if i say this, but we can just see by looking at you that you are our token member of the older generation amongst our questioners. what is your question about the impact of coronavirus on the younger generation?

new evidence is giving clues as to what happened aboard egyptair flight 804 just moments before it crashed into the mediterranean sea. cnn has learn smoke alerts went off shortly before the plane disappeared from radar. searchers have as found debris and human remains in the sea. but we still don t know what caused that plane to crash on thursday. there was 66 people on board. egyptian officials expect terrorism but no group has come forward to claim responsibility. let s get the latest from cnn international correspondent arwa damon live at cairo s international airport. arwa, what more are you hearing about this investigation at this point? reporter: well, george, the details that are coming to lighting are really serving mostly to add to the mystery surrounding what the cause of this possible crash may be. you do have these various different smoke alarms that were set off, that aren t even necessarily definitively indicative of any sort of fire breaking out. but could also have been set out by the plane come ago part. basically, all of all of its warning systems would have possibly gone on the fritz as it was colliding towards the mediterranean sea. all this is really proving agent this point is that there was some sort of crash. this is basically what we have known all along but we don t really know at this stage any sort of new information agency to whether or not this was some sort of catastrophic technical malfunction. or an act of terrorism. all that s happening is a severe amount of speculation around the various different causes that could have led to this horrific event that led to the loss of life of 66 people. 56 of them passengers. and then seven crew members, plus three security officers. the egyptian authorities have managed to recover a bit more debris. and by that, i mean small items such as luggage seats. and then, of course, sadly, more human remains. the families of those who perished in this incident are still struggling. still trying to come to term with what happened. understandably, so, of course. trying to come to grips not only with their emotions but tools their frustration to a certain degree, anger over the fact that there hasn t been any significant developments when it comes to why this plane went down. of course that kind of information can be and generally is hard to come by in circumstances like these ones. because the chunks of wreckage that are needed to try to extract concrete answers are in the mediterranean sea at this stage. and their specific location has not yet been pinpointed. although we do have a better idea of where that wreckage may be. so there s very scant concrete information at this stage, george. oh, one can only imagine the grief that these families have right now. so few answers. and we re in the middle of a process now, as this airline starts to notify next of kin. can you talk to us about that process? reporter: well, it s a very difficult one. because not only do these various different, and it s hard to even talk about it, human remains need to be identified, they re going to have to be going through a fairly length process of proper identification of identity. and of course, hanning those over to the various different relatives and nationalities. about 30 were egyptian nationals, about another 15, french. and the rest were from all different countries. and add into all of that, a lot of the remains have yet to be recovered. so for the families who are waiting there is very little closure. incidentally, our ian lee went to one of the mosques yesterday where there were friday prayers being held for the dead. and in some cases even friday prayers being held for the missing. and some family members didn t attend and they didn t attend because they didn t want to accept that their loved ones were dead. were gone. it s a very difficult process for anyone to have to go through this. but to go through the loss of a loved one and not have closure, that is even more unbearable on some level. given the fact that this is still a search and rescue. you can imagine families holding out hope not wanting to go to that prayer service. arwa damon live for us, thank you for your reporting. let s talk more now about these four major possibilities that investigators are considering in this crash. first, a smuggled bomb. the early theory among u.s. officials is terrorism. but they caution as that as based on circumstances, and not concrete evidence. scenario two, an insider threat did terrorists recruit an airport employee to sabotage the plane on the ground? scenario three, was it a technical issue. or scenario four, pilots or some other action. experts say all of these are plausible and it can be key to providing research on the crash. we have captain desmond ross from the dealt ae investigation, live from istanbul. dr. ross, with your extensive expertise in the aviation industry i d like to get your reaction to these sirchdifferen scenarios. the first that i mentioned, a smuggled bomb, plausible? yes, plausible. airport employees in those areas can be radicalized and very well paid. and money goes a long way. the second scenario that the plane was somehow sabotaged on the ground. is this something that we should be talking amore when it comes to security at the airports? absolutely. i cringe when people bring up a thing like a pilot crashing an air draft. an engineer is perfectly able of crashing an aircraft by leaving a bolt undone or hitting a pipe that s not correctly placed. there s all sort of employees, engineers, cabin attendants, not just pilots. there s a lot of people out there that have a direct effect on the directional capabilities of any aircraft that applies. let s talk about this possibility of a technical problem. especially given the new information that we ve learned. what are your thoughts? it s look, egyptair, i think, is actually quite a respectable airline as far as their maintenance and so forth. i ve not heard any criticism of their maintenance. this aircraft of 2003, that s not really that old. it s a very reliable aircraft. the airbus 8020, and it s a plausible scenario, still, engines, we ve seen it recently, a brand new a380 blew up a couple years ago. it happens but it s rare. i would rate that as one of the lower possibilities. okay. and then the other scenario that we mentioned to our viewers, pilot error. when you re flying at high altitude, and 37,000 is quite high, but it s not that high. i mean, you can go a lot higher up at 45 and whatever, they re critical factors in controlling an aircraft. very critical speed bands and angle of attack which some fully understand. but you re going into an area of very thin area and the aircraft has to be handled quite accurate. . that s why autopilots are used. normally, a pilot doesn t handle an aircraft at that altitude. if something goes wrong, it requires very special training. i don t know that these pilots were trained. we can get into hours of methods of pilot training these days compared to when i did it it and some of my colleagues did. and i want to get your thoughts. again, we don t really have any concrete information. we have just bits an points of data that we re all trying to assess. when you talk about the descent here from 37,000 feet down to 15,000, down to 10,000, does that sound to you like it could have been a controlled decent. or does that sound to you like a plane out of control? my initial reaction was was not a controlled descent. it looked like it was out of control essentially. and hearing about the smoke alarms and fire warning, which, frankly, i m a little cautious about. we re hearing about them all morning, and we ve seen transcripts but has anyone actually really confirmed that these are accurate? so you re questioning the accuracy? well i m just wondering about it. i haven t been told and i have no evidence in front of me to say this was a genuine did from the acars system transmitting from that aircraft. i hope it is. i d hate for this to be a red herring. i don t think it was a controlled descent staat all. the left hand and then the spirals right-hand is not something you d do. it ended up in a crash. the only plausible explanation, with the pilots it headed down immediately so the depressurization in the cabin didn t cause problems for passengers you need to be able to breathe. and you can t do that at 37,000 feet. that would have been the only plausible reason he would have been headed down and that would have been exacerbated by smoke in the cabin. i m feeling at the moment, these smoke alarms, it s all true, it s all isolated. it wasn t in the lavatory or something else, it was in the whole airplane. that sounded like it was a fire or something exploding, it was bad. captain can desmond ross, we appreciate your insight. again, we don t have any concrete information but again different points of data that we re trying to assess here. and we appreciate your experience and knowledge in the field to help us do that. we won t have anything final until the investigation is proven on a track. and parts are recovered and examined. and hopefully, the flight data recorder is recover fairly quickly. captain ross, thank you for your time today. when it comes to the search area, weather conditions have cooperated so far. but that could change in the hours to come. our meteorologist derek van dam is following this at the international important service. and george, it will likely change within the next 12 to 24 hours. here s the latest satellite trajectory. cairo and the eastern mediterranean and the general search that s taking play. we have a cold front coming, cloud cover as you saw on the satellite a moment ago. it s not really the rain that i m concerned about, it s the strong winds that are going to wrap in behind this particular front. and that will have, obviously, an impact on the waves and sea conditions as the search and rescue operations move forward. now, take a look at this. this is wind gusts. you can see the legend at the top portion of your screen, we re talking wind gusts monday morning into tuesday. in excess of 50 to 70 kilometers per hour. roughly, 40 to 50 miles per hour. we have the potential to see open ocean swells anywhere between one to three meters. this causes concern for any of the vessels taking part in the search and rescue operations. not to mention the strong winds impacting helicopters and aircrafts across this region. now, it s not only the weather but the ocean currents that we have to consider as a factor for the displacement of the possible debris field that they re searching for extensively at the moment. this is the mediterranean ocean currents. these circular patterns are called eddies, spinning ocean currents found all over the world. not only in the mediterranean, but in the indian ocean as well as the atlantic. just to prove what i m talking about. this is the potential of an oil slick that was spotted by a satellite. that is about 40 kilometers away from the last known communication position with the plane. now, taking you below the surface of the water, this is a relatively flat seafloor. when you compare this to perhaps mh370 over the indian ocean a year ago, they had to scour mountains and crevices and it made it it a tad easier for the search forces to find the all important black box. george. good to know that, derek. the difference that we saw with mh hchlh 370. thank you so much. french airport security is under scrutiny after the egypt aircraft. why some airport workers there lost security clearances over the past year, when we come back. plus, families share stories of some of those lost on board the plane. their nieces, nephews and brothers. we ll all go with them. stay with us. wanna drink more water? with sodastream you turn plain water into sparkling water in

school, learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn t bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don t drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don t drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and these feet would like to keep the beat going. ask your doctor about lyrica. welcome back. the crash of egyptair flight 804 has people speculating that trim may have been a cause. but airport charles de gaulle has come under scrutiny. since early this year, dozens of security have lost security clearances. security is indeed ramping up at that airport as france is taking any threat of terrorism quite seriously, especially since its capital was the target of terror attacks last year. for more on what s happening, let s bring in cnn s jim bitter mann in the nation s capital. to screen people, what has been done and what is being done? reporter: well, george, they re going over the recordings of anybody that came in contact with the egyptair jet. in fact, they re been looking at cttv cameras, the baggage handlers, security folks and all of that sort of thing. that is a process that began almost immediately after it was confirmed that 804 had crashed. even before it s known what brought down egypt err 804 security questions have been raised about its last departure. charles de gaulle airport. in that time, could someone have placed a bomb aboard, perhaps sitting in baggage or a food service cart. or could a terrorism managed to board with other passengers. questions have been raised in part because of last year s bloody terrorist attacks in france. in their aftermath, interior ministry officials revealed that 85 security badges needed to access secure areas of the airport were revoked last year because the badge holderers allegedly showed signs of radicalization. what s for, airport security carried out a new sweep of employees again looking for anybody who might pose a threat. but 86,000 people work at the airport and screening for signs of radicalism is a daunting task. none the the, in the wake of the egyptair crash without knowing the cause, officials ordered a thorough investigation of anyone who might have come in contact with the plane and a review of video. this is not only a necessity by measures this is nor a judgment nor assumption but it s a failure it s a way to protect you as we always have done to make sure our citizens are safe. reporter: in fact, officials from the president on down are trying to reassure everyone in the traveling public that security is their highest concern. since the egyptair crash it s been announced that more have been added to security personnel. translator: the government strengthened all of its measures. everything is being done to reinforce everywhere. reporter: but the french foreign minister has also said there s no such thing as zero risk. the egyptair crash has put the spotlight on security here in a very awkward time. in the next two months, the country will host the tennis championship, the european soccer championships and the tour de france bicycle race. events that will attract millions of people many who will travel through the same airport. the impact on those events could be devastating. so, george, while the idea of security caused security flaw brought the plane down, they re still going to continue out here at the airport with the inspections of the cct footage with the idea that it probably can t hurt but might help. jim bittermann reporting live in paris. thank you. flight data shows stops in tunisia and air trayia. jeffrey thomas of airline.com explained the situations. if it turns out that there was a bomb on board that aircraft, then they ll obviously be looking at the first flight of the day which is from cairo to the return flight. now a bureau of. m -r diplomatic security said in the united states said that unpredictable levels of security. while the british government warns that tunisia is the most dangerous area for britons to travel to. and we may call that last year we had the terrible tragedy where 31 britons were massacred at the beachside resort. so, both theories have serious question marks in the security level at the country and also at their airports. and we re also starting to hear from some of the relatives of the 66 people who were on board that plane. they are working with very few answers this day, and as you can imagine coping with great loss. here s cnn s miguel marquez with this story. reporter: the crushing reality setting in. their loved ones, gone. we were at a press conference, he said. they said nothing. some people just collapsed then left. at cairo s el al sadique mosque, a painful gathering of friends and family an uncle of the plane s co-pilot mohamed mamdouh assem. he does want to get married. he is in any relationship, he does introduce me to his reporter: ten crew member, 55 passengers, two of them infants. today, their loved ones in shock, inconsolable, mara hari, a devoted and loving mother, always there to offer a helping hand with a pure smile. richard os morning a geologist working in egypt. the 40-year-old leaves behind two infant daughters. he was just a very admirable person. a lot of people admire him for his strength and walls. reporter: pascal, almost didn t make the flight. he was headed to egypt to visit his sick father, he was said to be always smiling. the family of the head flight attendant on 804 says she was just starting a new life. she was a newlywed who got married six or seven months ago, she says. i asked god for the flight to be hijacked instead of what we ve been told. we have hope. with debris from the plane now being found, hope overtaken by grief. and now comes the painstaking task of finding the plane, recovering the bodies, doing dna testing and reunitie ing the families with their loved ones. these families have a long hard road to go. 427 a.m. on the a.m. east coast. still ahead, gunfire near the white house on friday. we ll explain why the secret service says they shot a man. plus, donald trump accuses hillary clinton of being the most anti-gun candidate to ever run for office. what else he told a powerful gun lobbying group about her gun positions. broadcasting live at this hour in the united states and around the world, you are watching cnn newsroom. the second lasts all day. we give you your day back. what you do with it is up to you. tylenol®. welcome back to our viewers here in the united states, and around the world, you are watching cnn newsroom. it is good to have you with us, i m george howell with the headlines we re following for you this hoyer. new details are emerging about the moments before egypt err flight 804 disappeared from radar. cnn has learned smoke alarms went off shortly before the plane disappeared from its flight path. searchers have as found debris and human remains in the mediterranean sea. the infamous drug lord joaquin el chapo guzeman may be heading to the united states soon. the mexican ministry approved his extradition on friday. lawyers for guzman said they will appeal and he will stand trial on federal charges if he arrives. and baghdad under protest for fortified green zone. security forces fired rocket bullets and tear gas. about 50 people were injured there. demonstrators also stormed the green zone late last month and occupied the parliament to protest there. in washington, d.c., we re learning more about a shooting that took place near the white house friday. a u.s. secret service agent said a man approached the checkpoint and brandished a gun. he was ordered to stop and then shot by a secret service agent when he didn t ply. cnn s joe johns has the story for us. reporter: security lockdown here at the white house, the secret service says a man with a gun approached a security checkpoint right around the corner from the front door of the white house. he was told numerous times to put the gun down, and when he did not do that, he was shot in the stomach, taken into custody and then taken to the hospital. the man s name was not immediately released. i was like five feet away from the first with the public. and i saw the guy enter the other fence with a white shirt. you know, goes to the first fence. then i turned. i was on my phone. then i hear the gunshot very strong, very you know, then i turned and the guy was on the floor. i yelled to my family, hey, the guy got shot. the guy got shot. then i hear the police guards come with their guns and handcuffing him. reporter: authorities say the suspect s weapon was taken into custody and his vehicle was seized. the president of the united states was not in the white house complex at the time of the shooting, but the vice president was secured. no one other than the man with the gun was injured. joe johns, cnn, the white house. it is america s choice 2016, and donald trump is trying to appeal to conservative voters by touting his strong support for gun rights. the national rifle association, a powerful gun lobbying group, endorsed the presumptive republican nominee on friday. trump wasted no time attacking democratic rival hillary clinton at that point. our jim acosta reports on the strong words the two have for each other. reporter: picking up the endorsement of the nation s top gun lobby, donald trump paid tribute to the nra. and then within seconds fired off tough lines of attack on hillary clinton. you know, i call her crooked hillary. she wants to abolish the second amendment week not going to let that happen. reporter: trump who once said he supported a ban said he now backs a large. and if you would have had guns on the other side. there it might not have happened. reporter: and the presumptive gop nominee slammed clinton as being unqualified to be president. tying the egyptair disaster. i ve been looking at airplanes getting blown up in the air. lots of bad things happen. bernie sanders who i m sure you all love, he did say one thing that was interesting. he said hillary clinton is unqualified to be the president of the united states. he said she suffers from bad judgment. and she does. reporter: even though investigators have not publicly concluded the egyptair jet was targeted by terrorists. trump went as far to warn what might happen if more planes were taken out. you re going to have a depression worldwide the likes that you ve never seen because nobody is going to travel. well, chris it does appear that it was an act of terrorism. reporter: also speculating on the apparent downing of the egyptair jet, clinton is hitting right back at trump. i know how hard this job is, and i know we need steadiness southwest strength and smarts in it. i have concluded he is not qualified to be president of the united states. reporter: the result, well, a new poll suggests that clinton is holding on to a slight lead over trump that are both deeply unpopular. in a cbs news poll says they have unfavorable views of trudge and clinton. though 70% said trump lacks the temperament to be president an area she is better. and trump bragging about how many guns his sons own. they have so many rifles and guns, sometimes i get concerned. here again, the supreme court is wrong on the second amendment. and i am going to make that case every chance i get. gun-free zones, we re getting rid of gun-free zones. reporter: trump is also taking a victory lap after the big wins. even working together a few double stuff jabs. i m not eating oreos anytime. you know that. but neither is chris. you re not eating oreos anymore. no more oreos, chris, don t feel bad, for either of us. that was our jim a costa reporting there. as a point of fact, hillary clinton has actually never said she wants to abolish the second amendment. she quickly took to twitter to denounce donald trump s claim. you re wrong, real donald trump, we can 81 hold second amendment rights while preventing senseless violence. bernie sand serious not backing town, sanders said he is the democratic candidate to defeat donald trump. not harrisbu not hillary clinton. he s keeping in the fight to stay in the race until all americans get a chance to get their voices heard at the polls. and let me also say that we are going to fight for every last vote between now and june 14th. and that we are going to take our fight into the democratic convention. turning now to nigeria, activists there say this girl rescued by the nigerian army is not one of the chibok school girls kidnapped. nigerian officials say it doesn t matter if she was abducted in the same group. but that her freedom is another victory against the militant group boko haram. the military had claimed that she was among the 276 girls taken from their school in 2013. is this cnn newsroom. still ahead an intense international search for wreckage continues for egyptair flight 804. we ll tell you what s been recovered from the waters of the mediterranean sea and how investigators still try to figure out what happened to this plane. plus, people in india, they are struggling to stay cool as the heat soars to record-setting temperatures. stay with us. the crash of egyptair flight 804 new details are coming out, about the final moments of that plane, but at this point, there are still no firm answers about what caused it to crash. flight data obtained by cnn indicates smoke alerts went knauf near the cockpit just before the aircraft went down into the mediterranean sea. but aviation experts caution that doesn t necessarily mean there was a fire on the plane. at sea there have been some seats from the aircraft, luggage and human remains recovered. but the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, they are still missing. the search for the plane and those recorders has swiftly become an international effort. greece, france, united states, and the uk are all helping to search that area where the plane likely went down. our international diplomatic editor nic robertson has details on how they re focusing the hunt. reporter: from the cockpit windows here the air crew of c-140 cargo aircraft have the best visibility over the mediterranean sea. their crew, also in the side windows here, get good visibility down into the sea as well. the greek air force have two of these aircraft out over the sea. they have a surveillance aircraft as well. we know that the british military have a naval vessel in the area. and the military with several or rye or ionp-3 allows them to focus in the area, southeast whereof the aircraft disappeared off the radar. it s a little north of that first debris field was found on thursday. of course, this a concern. the debris spotted b the air has to be checked on the ground. that slows down the operation. that is part of what s going on here. the greek air force putting in a lot of effort here they re willing to use their air base like this one here offering it to the allies to join efforts to help the authorities discover precisely where this egyptair craft went down. of critical interest is the plane s flight recorder. the black box as it s commonly called. but the units aren t actually black, they are orange, to make them easier to spot wreckage. the data recorders are located in the tail of the plane where they re less likely to be damaged from impact. things like altitude, air speed and heading. as well as audio from the cockpit and engines. the two recorders for voice and data can be combined into a single unit to help search teams find them. the flight recorder send out a homing signal for up to 30 days after a crash. that radio ping can be detected even when it s being sent from 4,000 meters. that s more than 13,000 feet under water. officials fear the egyptair crash may discover tourists from visiting cairo. egypt relies on 11% of its funds from tourism. here s what he said had say. today, we are encouraging people to travel, in spite of incidents. incidents can take place. we have seen what s happened, specifying whatever in every country, but exposed to the worldwide terrorist, i say we should give people the chance are the liberty to move, to travel, to enjoy themselves. it s part of giving the hope, the prosperity, the positivity for the world. that it don t stop people from enjoying your life, their time. being able to travel everywhere. we work globally, we make things faster, easier, safe for them. that s the role of all the governments all over the world. if the investigators confirm the crash of the flight is the result of terrorism, it would be the third attack on an egyptian aircraft in six months time. as you can imagine this has been an incredibly difficult time for the relatives. some family members of the missing came together in cairo, egypt, to pray for the victims. cnn s ian lee has this report. reporter: a day of prayer and mourning in egypt. many still in shock, 24 hours after egyptair flight 804 crashed. for the world, 66 people presumed dead, at this mosque, they were brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and friends. co-pilot mohammed assem was about to get married. an absolutely very fine person. in his age and humanity and sense of humor. he was the only one that was really what happened is really very much unfortunate. reporter: amid the tears, anger at the suggestion from some that pilots could have intentionally crashed the plane. this is the case of these two pilots without even going through the process of investigations. reporter: some family members avoided the mosque, not ready to mourn, hoping against all odds, their loved ones are still alive. but hope fades quickly as searchers recover the wreckage including body parts. scenes like this are playing out all over egypt. it s not just the friends and family who are mourning the victims of the egyptair flight, it s the entire country. we are one team. we are friends, we are family. reporter: as the country comes to grips on how they died, loved ones find it important to remember how they lived. ian lee, cnn, cairo. can you actually love wearing powerful sunscreen? yes! neutrogena® ultra sheer. no other sunscreen works better or

people. the country had its highest ever recorded temperature on thursday. in the town of rajastan. it hit 50 degrees celsius. that is 124 degrees fahrenheit. most is sweltering. the capital of new delhi reached 114 degrees fahrenheit earlier this week. we re talking about a region of the world that is used to extreme temperatures but this is oppressive heat. our meteorologist derek van dam talks about what is happens. sfwlt world record for hottest temperature ever record, death valley, california, a very sparsely populated part of the world. july back in 1913, actually, so the temperature of 56.7 degrees celsius. that s roughly 130 degrees fahrenheit. now, you take you temperatures that have topped 50 degrees celsius easily in a very populated part of the world and you can imagine just what people are trying to deal with. they re doing whatever they can to cool off, beat the heat. this gentleman taking advantage of a local water fountain in the capital of new delhi. take a look at these temperatures. not only northwest and central india. we re talking about pakistan where temperatures have soared into upper 50ss. and you factor in the heat indices. it feels even worse. it takes into consideration the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. relative humidity. unfortunately, the temperatures are not going to improve much from him. daytime highs, 38, 46 in nagpur. temperatures in the 40s on average. and this is the flooding that s taking place across sri lanka. we ve had a psych that moved from sri lanka into the coast of india and making its way into the border of bag la desch and myanmar. the latest information from the joint typhoon warning center actually increasing the speeds of the winds near 100 kilometers per hour near the center of the storm. it s really not the winds that i m too concerned about, it s actually the amount of rain that will fall from the system as it continues to move across the region. more flooding anticipated as we saw in sri lanka. rainfall totals in excess of 300 millimeters. that will certainly lead to the potential of flooding and more mudslides across the region. and we went this hour with a look in brazil and the olympic torch. it is on tour through the country, ahead of the summer games s iwith rio de janeiro. one of the leaders spoke about the torch s significant to the temperature. translator: for us, fire represents life so in all our events, we burn a blame during the day and night. it signifies, union, love, respect for our elder s and it is through the spire that we pass on our knowledge. bit opening ceremony, the flame will have traveled a total of 20 kilometers. that s over 12,000 miles across that country. that wraps this hour of cnn newsroom. i m george howell at the cnn center in atlanta. i ll be back after the break with another hour of news from around the world. you are watching cnn, the world s news leader. new clues come to light about the final moments before egyptair flight 804 plunged into the mediterranean sea. and the search continues when the plane s black boxes. also, scrutiny over security at paris charles de gaulle airport. finding out if a screening lapse could have led to the plane s downing. plus, a big endorsement for donald trump. one of the world s most powerful lobbying groups backs the candidate. welcome to viewers in the united states and around the world, i m george howell. cnn newsroom starts right now. investigators are working with new clues about what might have happened in the loss of egyptair flight 804. flight data shows that automated smoke alerts went off near the jet s cockpit just minutes before it dropped off of radar. aviation experts say the alerts do not necessarily mean there was a fire. searcher, still scouring the water after finding debris and lug and remains. we ll learn much more what happened to the plane once the cruise find the data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. cnn has teams of producers and photojournalists covering the story from all angles. at cairo s international airport, cnn s arwa damon is live. and our jim bittermann joins us at charles de gaulle airport in paris. we begin with you, arwa. what more can you tell us about what investigators are doing. the search and the investigation? reporter: well, right now, the investigation pretty much is the search, at least it will be until they do manage to recover the bulk of the wreckage, and of course, that crucial black box that you were mentioning there, george. what we do now have say better idea of where that plane may be in the waters of the mediterranean. search teams have managed to recover a few more small items, things like suitcases and seats from the plane. as well as more human remains. that, of course, very difficult to talk about, especially when it comes to the family and all that they have gone through. there also was that oil slick that was spotted yesterday by satellite imagery that is also serving to give a better idea of where the bulk of the wreckage is. but really, until that is found, there is very little concrete information as to exactly what it was that brought this plane down. a lot of the theories are still leaning towards terrorism, as opposed to some sort of massive technical malfunction. but at this stage, it really is just working theories with these various different bits and pieces of information that are slowly coming together. but not quite significantly enough to paint an accurate, bigger picture. you were talking about these smoke alarms going off. a lot of analysts saying, as you were mentioned there, too, this is not necessarily an indication that there was a fire. it very well could be that as this plane was plummet to get sea, the entire systems went haywire and sent off off of these various different alarms. of course, the families still here waiting for information. this is the most frustrating for them because they don t have closure. and some of them are in fact still clinging to the small thread of hope that maybe somehow, their loved ones may have been able to survive. so, it s been unspeakably difficult for them at this juncture. and everyone, right now, really waiting for the bulk of the records of black boxes to eventually be recovered. arwa, when you talk about these families and the many people who are still clinging to hope, this is still being called a search and rescue, that s important to point out. but we are in the middle of a process now, as this airline goes through and starts to notify next of kin. if you could talk to us about what s happening there. reporter: well, as they do recover these various human remains, they are going to have to go through a process of trying to identify them. we don t know specifically what has been recover at this stage and what sort of analysis in tellers of trying to concretely identify individuals is under way. that that information has all been provided to us by egyptian authorities. on just, family members of the egyptians who perished are here. and our ian lee was at one of the mosques in cairo and relatives of the crew and relatives were gathered there. and there was some anger or frustration that perhaps the crew was responsible for this. also some relatives of the french individuals who were on board who died, who are in egypt as well. then you have a series of other nationalities, here, too. this is going to be a very, very long process, as you can imagine. and every day that goes on is that much more difficult for the families who are involved in this. cnn s senior international correspondent arwa damon live for us in cairo. arwa, thank you so much. we ll stay in touch as we continue to follow this story. now, let s bring in jim bittermann who is in paris at the charles de gaulle airport. let s talk security there, jim. the effort to screen people who had access to these planes. what has been done? what is being done? reporter: well, the process here continues, george. in fact, they ve gone through the videotapes that they have made of the various closed circuit tv cameras, saand they looking at the backgrounds of anybody that had contact with the egyptair flight. and this as much as anything else to reassure the public that everything is being done. it s a process that started almost immediately after it was confired that egyptair 804 crashed. even before it s known what brought down egyptair 804 security questions have been raidsed about the last point of departure, paris busy charles de gaulle airport. in that time could one have placed a bomb aboard, perhaps hidden in baggage or a food service cart. questions that have been raised in part because of last year s bloody terrorist attacks in france. in the aftermath, entiry ministry officials revealed that 84 security badges were revoked last year because the badge holders allegedly showed signs of radicalization. what s more, airport security carried out a new sweep of employees again looking for anybody who might pose a threat. but 86,000 people work at the airport and screening for signs of radicalism is a daunting task. nonetheless, in the wake of the egyptair crash without knowing the cause, officials ordered a thorough investigation of anyone who might have come in contact with the plane and a review of video footage which may have revealed untoward activity. translator: this is not only a necessity, but a priority of measures this is not a judgment nor assumption but it s a failure it s a way to protect you as we always have done to make sure our citizens are safe. reporter: in fact, officials from the president on down are trying to reassure everyone in the traveling public that security is their highest concern. since the egyptair crash it s been announced that 30 new intelligence officers have been added to the 5700 security personnel already working at the airport. translator: the government strengthened all of its measures. everything is being done to reinforce everywhere. reporter: but the french foreign minister has also said there s no such thing as zero risk. the egyptair crash has put the spotlight on security here in a very awkward time. in the next two months, the country will host the french open tennis championship, the european soccer championships and the tour de france bicycle race. events that will attract millions of people many who will travel through the same airport. if there s no cause established for the crash which dispels authority, the impact on those events could be devastating. part of what s going on is real reassuring the families of the victim. they ve been taken at their request to the french foreign ministry, where the french foreign ministry is briefing them, and in fact, giving them the latest on the investigation going on. george. cnn s international correspondent jim bittermann live in paris. on board the plane as we talked about the victims, there were nieces, nephews and a man nearing hi wedding date. just a few people lost in this tragedy. and now we re hearing from some of the families struggling with a great deal of loss and grief. cnn s miguel marquez has this story. reporter: the crushing reality setting in. their loved ones, gone. we were at a press conference, he said. they said nothing. some people just collapsed then left. at cairo s al sadik mosque, a painful gathering of friends and family an uncle of the plane s co-pilot mohamed mamdouh assem. he was about to get married. he was already in a relationship, and he does introduce me to his reporter: ten crew members, 56 passengers, two of them, infants, all looking forward to reyungs and new adventures in a disorienting turn, today, their loved ones, in shock, inconsolable. mary hari. posted on facebook a devoted and loving mother, always there to offer a helping hand with a pure smile. richard osman, a geologist from wales working in egypt. the 40-year-old leaves behind two infant daughters. he was just a very admirable person. i think a lot of people admired him for his strength and values. reporter: pascal he is, an independent photographer from paris almost didn t make the flight. he lost his passport a week before the trip. he was 40 years ode. and the director of a procter & gamble plant was headed to egypt to visit his sick father. he was said to always be smiling. the family of the head flight attendant on 804 says she was just starting a new life. she was a newlywed who got married six or seven months ago, she says. i asked god for the flight to be hijacked instead of what we ve been told. we have hope. with debris from the plane now being found, hope overtaken by grief. and now comes the painstaking task of finding the plane, recovering the bodies, doing dna testing and reuniting the families with their loved ones. these families have a long hard road to go. miguel marquez, cnn, new york. so, when it comes to the search area, the weather is important. conditions there have cooperated so far, but that could change. we know now in the coming hours. our muir meteorologist derek va is there. it s likely to change in the next 24 hours as the cold front sweeps through the region. across the western mediterranean, this area of high pressure is starting to erode away thanks to the approach of the cold front. it s not the precipitation that i m concerned about, it s the winds that will funnel in behind the system and that has the potential to hinder the search and recovery operation going on. think about how wind impacts ocean currents, ocean waves and swells. a potential of one to three meter swells on the ocean. and that s going to impact the search vessels. look at the wind gusts going forward by the next two to three days. you can see by monday morning, they can easily gust between 60, even 65 kilometers per hour. as high as 45 miles per hour for the domestic audience. something to consider as the search and rescue operation continues to go forward. now, we also monitor ocean currents when we factor in the displacement of a potential debris field that is vibrating across the eastern mediterranean. this is a look at the mediterranean currents. anytime you see that circular pattern that is known as an eddy. an ocean eddy. we have them in the mediterranean, we have them in the atlantic ocean, we have them in the indian ocean. it s not only native to this part of the world but look ma it does. the oil slicks that we ve been showing images of lately. you can see in the middle of your tv screen, that has moved about 40 kilometers away from that last known communication point with the downed aircraft. certainly window displacing this debris field. let s take you under the sur fashion of the ocean. what i want to see, is this a relatively flat seafloor when we compare this to the mh 370 airline that took place across the indian ocean, they had to scour the seabed which had mountains and crevices that made it difficult. the depth in this particular area search area known as the sea basin, about 8,000 to 11,000 feet deep. because this is considered a search and rescue operation, george, we have to factor in the weather conditions because this has ramifications for survival. for a healthy adult we have the potential to survive in waters of this magnitude for maximum of 40 hours. one can only hope for the family s sake. it is important to point out is this still a search and rescue. derek van dam, thank you. we will have much more on the egypt crash ahead. plus, the details about gunfire near the white house. why the secret service says they shot a man. plus donald trump goes after hillary clinton on the issue of gun rights. what he told a powerful gun lobbying group about her

i can tell you. reporter: trump is also taking a victory lap after the big wins in the primaries. urging republicans to rally behind him. even working in a few double stuff jabs at chris christie. i m not eating oreos anytime. you know that. but neither is chris. you re not eating oreos anymore. no more oreos, chris, don t feel bad, for either of us. that our our jim acosta reporting there. when donald trump skipped a debate in scan to host a veteran fund-raiser, he said that it raised $6 million. now, there s a problem with that. that s not accurate. trump s campaign manager told cnn that less than $6 million has been raised. he described a discrepancy saying more money had been pledged than actually donated. the washington post reported that it netted about $4.5 million. but trump s campaign disputes that number as well. hillary clinton s focus may be on the general election against donald trump but she is not the democratic nominee yet. rival bernie sanders is still in the race and he has not barked down. sanders said that the superdelegate system in place wins the nomination for the establishment candidate. over 400 of these superdelegates indicated their support for secretary clinton before anyone else was in the race. in other words, the establishment determined who the anointed candidate will be before the first voters got into the process. i think that that is a very, very bad idea. and it s an idea that we intend to change at the convention. here s a look at how the delegate count stands now. hillary clinton leads sanders by 290 pledged delegates, with superdelegates included, that lead grows to 770. while some republicans try to rally around donald trump, democrats seem to be growing farther apart. how will they bridge the democratic divide? our jonathan mann, for political mann looks into it saturday 7:30 p.m. in london. that s 10:30 in abu dhabi here on cnn. the u.s. navy took possession of a feweristic state of the art destroyer. the zoomwalt. it is expected that all three ships will cost $22.5 billion. but they do provide a lost bang for their bucks. the builder, general dynamics, said the ship is suitable for an electromagnetic railgun. it s guns can also send projectiles over hundreds of kilometers or around 63 miles. this is cnn newsroom still ahead, egyptair flight 804 bass in four different countries in four different airports in 24 hours before it vanished. we ll have a look at how investigators are trying to narrow down what caused it to dough down. broadcasting live in the united states and around the world, this hour, you are watching cnn newsroom. this is 100% useful for a 100% fresh mouth. what s it like to not feel 100% fresh?

is that possible? if it is a bomb, we simply don t know that yet, and the u.s. believes that terrorism is involved likely in that scenario, yes, it could well and easily more easily, i should say, been smugged on some of the earlier stops this plane made. eritrea, tunis and tunisia, it stopped twice there before going back to cairo and charles de gaulle. i think it would be more difficult to smuggle a device on at charles de gaulle so there s a body of opinion suggests that some area placement of such a device if that turns out to be what happened is possibly more likely. so you talk about the second scenario, the idea that someone on the ground at charles de gaulle could also have been involved. let s talk about this other possibility of a technical issue on board the plane, given the new information that we have. yes, the new information comes from the acars system which sends, if you like, a telex-type message to the airline. this is in realtime, they would have had this as it was happening. this indicated smoke in the lavatory, smoke in the avionics bay. also failure in the electronics systems and also some other electrical system has gone down. there s about six messages, then it cuts out. now, that could be simply the result of an explosion within the aircraft itself. now, one of the most telling things here is the violent turn that this plane made before it plunged town to the sea. now, this would indicate a loss of control surfaces, possibly the vertical stabilizer, one of the horizontal stabilizers being ripped away and that certainly would have been bomb relate which would have triggered out the acars system as various systems failed in the aircraft. geoffrey, the fourth scenario, this concept of pilot error, your thoughts there. yes, the pilots seem to be reasonably well credentialed. i don t believe it would have been pilot error. it might have been possibly i mean, it may have been a struggle between the pilots. it may have been one of those german wing scenarios if you like. i don t believe that was the case. i tend to think it was the explosive device which triggered a range of failures, which is what the acars messages are all about. we had another gentleman, an expert in aviation with us the last hour. i d like to ask you the same question i asked him when it comes to the descent. when you re talking about being at 37,000 feet. then the quick descent, the swerves going down to 10,000, so on, so forth. does that sound to you like a controlled descent, or a plane that was out of control? it was terribly out of control. there was knowledge controlled about that. given the information that we ve got of the severity of the turns, there was no control whatsoever. and, of course, indicated by the acars that said that the autopilot had failed one of the control systems had failed. so that the kaes that something catastrophic had occurred so there s no control. but, geofftry, i want to ask you, though, on the theory that perhaps the pilot was trying to get lower so the passengers on board had more oxygen. your thoughts there? well, if you wanted to get lower, you d simply put the nose straight down. you d go straight down. you wouldn t need to do twists and turns or anything like that. that would actually slow your decent if anything. geoffrey thomas thank you for being with us this hour. we ll stay in touch as we learn more details it s always good to get insights from experts to to understand what happened here. this is cnn newsroom. still ahead irk the nigerian military said this girl was the second tribal school girl to be rescued from boko haram. activists are disputing this claim. plus, hundreds of protesters storm baghdad s green zone. for the second time in less than a month, iraqi security forces respond with tear because. the story as newsroom continues. charge! so why would you invest without checking brokercheck?

reporter: well, the military saying they re going to push forward with the operations to try to clear the terror group out of the forest. what does seem to be happening now because of the aerial raids and on the round offensive that s creating some level of chaos in the camps where boko haram has been keeping these hostages and hunkering down from the multi-prong military attack. and that chaos often allows women and chirp aldren and even captors that have taken them to defect from boko haram and escape into the forest. many of these women are heavily guarded deep in the forest and it s difficult to go into a major offensive because it might put the kidnapped women and children who effectively have become like human shields at risk. though there is an approach from the nigerians, cameroonians, and cadmeans to squeeze boko haram that have been helped by foreign intelligence. but many say the calls to the end of this terror group is very premature, there could be a long road ahead, but certainly, in the last few weeks there has been some positive news that this group is being reduced in its capabilities, george. david mckenzie live. thank you for your reporting. dozens of protesters were injured when they stormed into baghdad s green zone on friday. officials say iraqi security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas at the demonstrators. the country s military imposed a curfew on baghdad until further notice, according to state divisio television there. iraqi s prime minister promised a fast response. translator: what s happening today is storming the government s facilities and tampering with public property cannot be accepted for any perpetrators. the law must take its course with any transgressor. the shiite force muqtada al sadr urged similar protests last night to protest corruption there. israel s defense minister resigned on friday and warned of, quote, extremist and dangerous elements to take over the element. it came amid the shake-up that would have pushed him out of this job. he was clashing with benjamin netanyahu. and the prime minister downplayed any tensions. translator: the act of replacement in the minister s positions did not come out of a crisis of fate between us. it came out of the need to expand the government, to increase the stability in israel, because of the big challenges it faces right now. i assume that if alan was not asked to leave the defense ministry to move to the foreign ministry, this crisis of faith would not have occurred. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned he wanted him to stay as prime minister but he refused. this is cnn newsroom. still ahead forensic labs are equipped to unravel pretty baffling cases. we ll see how they ll approach the mysterious plane going down of egyptair. stay with us. with a clean feel. the best for your skin. ultra sheer®. neutrogena®. you wouldn t take medicine without checking the side effects. hey honey. huh. the good news is my hypertension is gone. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck?
