Aircraft manufacturer is suspending production of what was once its best selling plane the 737 max remember it was grounded back in march after 2 fatal crashes within 5 months john hendren reports from boeing headquarters in chicago. After slowing production of its most lucrative plane boeing is now hitting the brakes the aircraft maker says it is temporarily halting production of its controversial 737 max aircraft following crashes in indonesia and ethiopia killing 346 people the model was grounded worldwide now with that flight ban sent to last well into 2020 boeings rear freeze on production is expected to ripple across the Global Economy suspending production of a commercial aircraft is something that has been very rarely done it truly is an unprecedented decision and it is one that has massive impact to boeing and its suppliers and the airlines the airlines that have maxed jets on order are eager to get them the ones that have them in their fleets are eager to get them flying again the company says there will be no layoffs among the 12000. 00 workers at its renton washington plant but the decision could affect workers at the 600 companies that are part of the 737 max supply chain the impact of the announcement is so great that boeings woes could expand the u.

S. Defense secretary marcus misses the only way forward is to go to the negotiating table with pyongyang it is a concern their rhetoric we have seen talk of casts. I think that they will be likely if they dont feel satisfied i think as i said before ive been watching. The Korean Peninsula for maybe a quarter of a quarter. Of a century now and so im familiar with their tactics but their bluster and. I think we need to get we need to get serious and sit down and have discussions about a political agreement that needed to rise to the potential that is the best way forward and arguably the only way. Kristen salumi was at the United Nations and says the proposal comes as concern about north korea and he grows. What the chinese and the russians are proposing is a wide rollback of sanctions against north korea sanctions that were imposed to try to stop it from developing a Nuclear Weapon and they start with issues that they say are humanitarian in nature related to peoples livelihoods things like the export of textiles or seafood but they would also consider lifting sanctions on heavy equipment and Construction Equipment where it has to do with 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.

So more on our breaking news out of pakistan as we said the former president Pervez Musharraf sentenced to death in connection with a treason case political analyst target those with us now from islamabad to talk about it the fact is Pervez Musharraf is not in pakistan hes been living in exile in dubai and apparently is not well so the Death Penalty itself is probably not something he will have to deal with but as a rolling it does sound like a very well extreme a very strong ruling from the court. Or extend extend the signal to all the quarters in pakistan or everywhere else in the war that pakistan is certainly changing the judicial system has changed just a few days ago you know general body was the current chief of army staff his case was handled in a pretty aggressive way by the Supreme Court and now and actually the same judge of the Supreme Court had said late it just a decision is coming against im not against about a porous palm or you know to provide me stuff and that was a signal to many people in the country that there may be the decision is going to be against him when today heavy are as you know august our judiciary is all independent i mean nobody is immune from has any exception at all no immunity mister no market it misses a study all the people are either going through you know accountability cases or through you know their criminal cases in the case of gentle machette of their technical thing that i do want to mention yes you have a letter to mention that he has been sentenced to death by a court but here is the problem the problem is that as opposed to other military rulers even a neighbor to get his action of 2007 and that they are fired by the legitimized by the Supreme Court of pakistan fraggle and all the military dictators when they were able to suspend the constitution or abrogate they were never to get dental action legitimized by the court ratified by the courts but in this case whichever made a mistake and he did not actually get his actions legitimized by the Supreme Court after the Emergency Fund imposed with unix work so he should have again a problem but how do you think the sneers would be received in pakistan in 2019 out of the sea a long time since it happened its a long time since he left the country what sort of regard does he is he held in these days in pakistan. That there are several segments in pakistan that are being very happy and unhappy etc the armed forces of pakistan are instance our concern actually hes one of the most popular guys among the rank and file of the Pakistani Armed forces that theres been really hitting this verdict number one but it said the jury the armed forces of pakistan are with the democracy at the present time so that there doesnt seem to be any problem secondly etheredge noon lead of the party on this and the market is concerned there will be extremely happy they were tracked trying to get a piece of mr know mr musharraf for a long time piece of a splash and probably they got it this time i hate to use this expression as far as Peoples Party is concerned and im naming them one by one the be very happy also because they have been accusing mr musharraf of being implicit in the murder of of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto which is not which which remains unsubstantiated is just an allegation but this is an interesting think that theres another comparing a comparison i do want to make in 10 seconds that gil mr johann under whos the president see and dictatorship pakistan broke into pieces nobody tried and like you know any of that sense or after is that an advocate and there are precedents around the world and even actually is after around with the with the National Flag and buried the general tell us that here is general musharraf who just made a mistake and a tactical problem is years and what it would be a pair of course holding this get back to not in my judgment it will be reversed because there are some weaknesses in this in the judgment now but the reality is you have got away machete got caught and this is a new pakistan and a new democracy and elections fascinating stuff thank you todd akins out of for joining us from islamabad today. Thousands of colombians have turned out in the capital of protest against tax reforms demonstrate to say the measures being debated in congress should be scrapped because theyll only benefit businesses and the rich.

Its been a 100 days since. Transitional government was sworn in after months of political turmoil that led to the removal of president bashir the manager took over as Prime Minister promised a government of professionals to fulfill the promises of the revolution that started in December Morgan looks back now at how this Transitional Government has actually fared in its 1st 3 months. When sudans new cabinet took the ministerial oath 100. 00 days ago many hoped it would assure a new era and months of turmoil. Mass protests led to the fall of longtime president. And now civilians who are back in charge alongside the former ruling military junta and. What weve achieved in the 1st 3 months isnt much on our people had High Expectations but in some issues weve gone with the Peace Process which is a priority its not what weve started on it seriously were moving well on the issue of democratic transformation there is more freedom with it in terms of Media Freedom or Political Freedom the government pledged to put sudan back on the International Scene Prime Minister. Visited several countries including south sudan where he hoped talks could help bring peace to many conflict ridden parts of sudan hes also attempted to get sudan removed off a u. S. List of countries sponsoring terrorism. While the government has been focusing on the regional and International Community to support its home challenges are piling up its a formal Legislative Assembly for the transitional period and just in the last few weeks theres been sporadic fuel shortages a lack of public transport and the economy is still in freefall thats what triggered. This government to power. The economy is a concern for many inflation continues to rise in a country where more than half of the. 40000000 population live below the poverty line. Theres no improvement in the economy and are getting more and more expensive every day the ministers have been focusing on the internal issue of the economy which is hurting us citizens and those who wants chanted for freedom peace and justice the governments shortcomings lie elsewhere. The government has yet to hold to account any member of the former regime its to deliver justice for those who have been killed during the demonstrations not just on june 3rd when the military righted are certain in front of me hed courters but since the protests started. However the Transitional Government has disbanded the former ruling party and its assets its also scraped the public order act which human Rights Groups had targeted women and Street Vendors cabinets members were nominated by the forces of freedom and change coalition which led the protest movement against. But some analysts say those chosen are not experienced enough. When we look at the ministers individually would realise that the performance so far has been quite weak because most of the ministers dont have experience to Health Situation is worsening with several epidemics the economy is still suffering and the biggest challenge its facing is the shoe of the deep state members of the former ruling party that are at every level in the government there trying to undo the work of a regime that has been in place for decades and with little experience that may take a long time. After 30 years of bashir is through sudan is undergoing monumental change and it appears many of the countries challenges will take time to be resolved he will morgan aljazeera.
