A cover up. And a call for the president to step down and protesters say hes going back on a promise to rule for just 3 years. Hello boeing spending production of its bestselling 737 max aircraft from next month the plane was grounded worldwide in march after 2 fatal crashes within 5 months which killed 346. 00 people boeing has still been producing 42. 00 aircraft the decision to halt production follows the federal Aviation Authority saying its wouldnt approve the planes returned to service before 20200 john hendren is outside the boeing headquarters in chicago and he explains the impact of the companys decision. The boeing company has come to a momentous decision one that will reverberate throughout the u. S. And global economies and will affect the companys suppliers and airlines around the world one of the biggest decision from the companys more than century long history and that is that it will temporarily halt production of the controversial 737 next plane to those planes crashed in the past year and a half or so killing 346 people the company now says it is ready to reproduce those planes but until regulators approve it to go back up in the air its going to focus on the 400. 00 or so planes it now has ready for delivery and its going to deliver those planes this is a problem that has caused the company 9000000000 dollars and 9 months of uncertified occasion for that plane meaning it cannot fly so the company is now telling suppliers that theyre going to have to wait some of those suppliers are going to have problems of their own and airlines are going to have to make decisions as to whether they cancel planes or planes from rivals the u. S. Regulator in this case the federal Aviation Administration says it has no comment lets speak to carl bailey hes an aviation analyst and hes also a former f. A. A. Safety Team Representative hes joining us via skype from butler thats in new jersey hi there thanks for speaking to us on the aljazeera news hour so are you surprised by this decision for boeing to suspend production of the 737 max starting next month no im not surprised you know it looks like this is pretty much short term or the suspension of production and quite frankly theyre running out of room to store these airplanes i mean these are planes are actually parked in the boeing employee parking lots because they have no space they originally anticipated these airplanes were moved and are now moving because theyre not flying its plain and simple what impact do you think this is going to have on suppliers. You know it looks like its a short term us hole in production so i think thats actually good news for the suppliers there isnt going to be and most likely not any layoffs in the supplier pipeline it would be very hard to for example say if boeing were to suspend for 6 months or for a year it would be hard to restart because they have in excess of 300. 00 suppliers different suppliers for the 737 max airplane so if they were to suspend a long term that would mean employees layoffs at the suppliers and it would be very hard to restart the fact that this looks like its for now short term in that regard its good news because theyre most likely wouldnt have to be layoffs on the supplier level and what about the an airliner right then what about the airline or is the use this type of aircraft different see any sort of chaos there there will be chaos the bottom line is once a green light is given by the f. A. A. The airplanes will start flying very very quickly these airplanes sitting on the ground are costing the airlines lots of money so once the green light comes from the f. A. A. These are planes will surely all be back in the skies flying and when do you think the f. A. A. Will be giving that green light you know its very hard to say its its pretty its not looking good that its been pushed back time after time after time keep in mind were at were at about i believe 8 or 9 months right now so you know since the crash in march and you know originally they were they were sank within a couple weeks and then that was pushed back again but if i have to give speculation i think its safe to say that within 6 months the airplanes will probably be be flying and how damaging though has all of this been for for boeing in the public perception. You know for boeing as your reporter indicated its cost them in excess of 9000000000. 00 you know this crisis and the crash and the aftermath but the interesting thing here is that public the image of the airplane i believe has been tarnished i mean this is been all over social media for 9 straight months of unlike weve ever seen before in previous crashes and the 737 max name now is pretty much tarnished because Everybody Knows they are playing and i think theres going to be a lot of people are afraid to get off that airplane and one thing that a boeing can recover from. Booking but recover on i think 16 months or so goes by in the plot the planes fly there might be some hesitation at 1st but the bottom line is people have to travel and i think things will get under way probably after about 6 months i think the Public Opinion that all of this will probably be in the Rearview Mirror for the most part all right bailey we thank you for joining us on the news hour and aljazeera thank you.

Senate is accusing President Donald Trump of orchestrating a cover up Chuck Schumer has called for current and former white house aides to testify trumps impeachment trial but the white house is discouraging them from giving evidence kimberly healthcare reports lets try to have a civil conversation ok passionate debate for and against us President Donald Trump and whether he should be removed from office its an issue dividing americans on full display is this democratic congresswoman in michigan attempted to explain why she supports impeachment i hope that even if people dont agree with my decision they see that i based my decision on my. Personal integrity and that is the most that i can do to show people that i scare them even if we dont agree but even before the Impeachment Vote is cast in the u. S. House which is expected this week the debate over the senate trial is underway that trial would decide whether trump should be removed from office trump is pushing for a full hearing to clear his name one that would include witnesses and testimony he believes could hurt his democratic rivals now democrats have announced they want their own witnesses to testify including trumps acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former National Security advisor john bolton to cover up his efforts the white house discouraged both you not to cooperate with the house in corrie even though both men could shed light on trumps motivations for withholding military aid to ukraine the basis for the impeachment investigation these people know better than anybody else the facts there is no reason on gods green earth why they shouldnt be called and testify unless youre afraid of what they might say trump has repeatedly claimed no wrongdoing when he asked ukraines president to do him a favor and investigate the son of his political rival joe biden on allegations of corruption trumps personal attorney Rudolph Giuliani fresh from a trip to ukraine has threatened to expose corruption and bribery on the part of members of the white house under u. S. President barack obama but when asked for specifics trump said he knew very little of what giuliani was up to hes a great person who loves our country and he does this out of love believe me he does it out of love he sees what goes on its an attempt to discredit the proceedings as well offering no evidence to dispute the case against him signaling President Trump is gearing up for a fight with trademark defiance kimberly heloc at aljazeera the white house will talk to alan baron a former special counsel to the u. S. House of representatives he says forcing john bolton and nicole running to testify could backfire on the democrats. Bolton has hinted that he has a lot of very Important Information that hasnt been presented yet about the ukraine situation and whether its favorable or unfavorable and to which side is remains an open question but i think they would like to know what he has to say now to put bolton on the stand to testify without knowing in advance what hes going to stay to say its somewhat like playing russian roulette i mean you dont know what youre going to get the same thing with motivate me i mean one point. Said that there was a deal with the ukrainians and then he walked it back his credibility is not terribly high but still i think they would like to go after him about that the democrats were its important for the facts to get out for the house to take a stand and to say this was wrong if the republican controlled majority in the senate is willing to accept this well then so be it but history should record that the house felt that this. Conduct was unacceptable and i think many people whove looked at it believe its even worse much worse than what went on in the Richard Nixon near impeachment which led him to resign.

Says now is not the time to consider lifting those sanctions chris says salumi is a u. N.

Into a korean road and Construction Projects some relief that north korea has been looking for from sanctions to develop its economy which has been so hurt by these sanctions as its punished for developing Nuclear Weapons now the problem is that the chinese and the russians are making this proposal at a time when there is such growing concern in the International Community about north korea and its increasingly threatening and provocative statements ahead of a selfimposed deadline of the end of the year kim jong un the leader of north korea has made for coming to an agreement with the United States over its Nuclear Program weve seen korean officials warning of a christmas surprise weve seen Ballistic Missile testing so much so that members of the Security Council got together last week and criticized north korea for taking this step so even as they are ratcheting up the rhetoric and threatening undertones to what theyre saying we have china and russia proposing a rollback of sanctions.

Of the Northwestern Province in recent weeks the nomination of Prime Minister has been delayed until thursday president michel supposed to meet Political Parties on monday. And protests at the weekend against the selection of his complicated efforts to form a new government zana heard reports from beirut. Minutes before the constitutional process to form a new government was set to start lebanons presidency postponed consultations until thursday politicians were to name their choice of Prime Minister and saddle heidi the caretaker Prime Minister was supposed to be renamed but he requested the men to avoid in his words violating the constitution and preserving unity among the nation sects. It seems the christian participation or vote is the reason why. The liberties forces party is refusing to name a Prime Minister from the Political Class and the other main Christian Party the free Political Movement is refusing to name this is the real problem lebanons leaders who share power based on a sectarian political system are deeply divided how d. D. Says he wants to have a Government Free from the influence of Political Parties his rivals led by the iranian backed hezbollah who are part of the governing alliance and hold the majority in Parliament Say they wont give up power there come from are hard to teach because every party is sticking to its position and. It didnt budge for one single inch and its true the Prime Minister of greece arent. Trying to produce the same the same system a change in leadership is what antiestablishment protesters have been demanding for 2 months but the largely peaceful uprising against those who have ruled lebanon for 30 years has turned violent in recent days confrontations between unarmed protesters and Security Forces is raising fears about stability and security political deadlock is not rare in lebanon but there is an urgent need to form a government the country is in turmoil the ruling class is bargaining over power while workers are losing their Jobs Companies are closing the local currency is losing its value. And people do not have access to their money and banks the economy is on the brink of collapse but Even InternationalFinancial Assistance is being conditioned to the formation of a government that meets the aspirations of the lebanese people and now the United Nations is warning the political impasse creates Fertile Ground for provocations and political manipulation that could lead to more violence. While iraqs president also has until the end of thursday to nominate a new Prime Minister. Had to resign last month but thats done little to Congress Tester is demanding an overhaul of the sectarian political system the latest demonstrations started in october but there were similar protests last year corruption high unemployment Poor Public Services and a low standard of living have angered millions at least 476 iraqis have been killed and 20000 injured in 2 months of demonstrations calling for change simona fulton is in baghdad and she says protesters fear the new Prime Minister will be linked to the regime. The new deadline we are told is now on thursday what is also confusing is which bloc in parliament should actually nominate a new Prime Minister according to the constitution the president is supposed to ask the biggest block in parliament to agree on a candidate now it is unclear which block is actually the largest and this is very peculiar and very typical of iraqi politics because many members of parliament switch allegiances the votes are not public so nobody really ever knows how many seats are controlled by a given party and the president actually sent a letter yesterday to the speaker of parliament asking him to clarify who is the largest bloc now of course this comes very late in this process this is something that has been clear a long time ago but it just highlights how obscure this process is how little transparency there is and this is precisely the reason why many iraqis are asking not for just the new Prime Minister but for a complete overhaul of the political system its a very obscure process that is basically the result of backroom dealings by the one name that has come up quite often is the name of mohamed sudan who is a member of the dawa party which is the biggest ruling party that has been in place since 2003 and he also held several ministerial posts before so hes very much a considered to be part of the political establishment and thats exactly what protesters dont want they want somebody who has not served before somebody who is not beholden to the current Political Parties who is actually capable of pushing through very controversial reforms and thats definitely not mohammed also that he has already been rejected by the protesters so it remains to be seen whether he is indeed the one who will be nominated but in any case people want a fresh face they dont want anybody who has held an office in the past. 7 cities across libya declared a general mobilization of forces to fight world and if i have to follows the turkish president s promise to provide military help to be internationally recognized governing to tripoli that could lead to a confrontation with the u.

Rebels are under pressure. It has always been the case that theyre back to civilian communities but there has definitely been an increase in the number of attacks in the last weeks and its quite longer than that almost a few months now this is merely because they are on the run and they are threatened by the friends of operations that we are conducting our selves but also the Coalition Military in their stronghold forests and as a result they tend to run away and as the run away to conduct these operations went to retaliate against the civilian population its a way to put pressure on us and on the Congolese Military to stop these offensive operations but also as they move on as they go on the run they need to replenish their food their medical supplies and their weapons so really this is the reason for this increase in attacks in the recent weeks.
