Waited for hours before calling for help a saudi court has issued a verdict us not to let your manager say. The criminal court in riyadh has issued a preliminary sentence against 11 of the accused individuals and it is us following the Death Penalty for 5 and they are those who directly participated in his killing may he rest in peace. But senior saudis with close connections to the royal court have been cleared the court ruled there was no proven involvement of tawny in the murder he was advisor to crown Prince Mohammed bin some on before his sacking soon after killing the turkish chief Prosecutors Office in istanbul filed a warrant for khatamis arrest a year ago in june the un special investigator agnes callum ard said intelligence agents had identified qahtani as a hit squad ringleader i have and she stood that the killing of mr question ease a state killing it is not a killing by rogue of his shoulders as the country of the government continue to do to pretend i kissed under International Human rights you know and she urged the world to sanction the crown prince and his assets until he could prove his innocence that hasnt happened exoneration to her former consul general mohammed all otay be who showed journalists around the consulate in istanbul also cleared off middle the sciri the kingdoms former deputy intelligence chief started doing a plan to vote of the journalism watchdog Reporters Without Borders says justice has been trampled why their mom had been psalm on he was in contact with out on call upon me just before and after the murder of her my live show she this is what the cia based in part its this edition that that molly been film on was very high probability responsible for ordering the killing so yeah lots and lots of questions this verdict will do nothing to quell those questions and it raises many many more questions there is no such thing as fair and open justice in saudi arabia. Despite intelligence agencies including the cia saying crown Prince Mohammed bin so man was probably involved the white house shielded the future king from absolute responsibility maybe maybe. And following intense criticism and skepticism that little happens in the kingdom without his knowledge the crown prince eventually had his say. Absolutely not in that this was a heinous crime like this but i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia the identities of those convicted were concealed during the closed door trial in the capital riyadh and it remains unclear what roles they played in crucial g. s death raising suspicions that they are the fall guys for much more powerful saudis and or chapell al jazeera well u. N. Special wrapper to offer extradition executions agnes says the trial failed to look at the responsibilities of the state and the whole thing was a travesty of justice what we. Whitewash than. Just you. And the fact that gentle. And just. Not being it didnt mean. That maybe also people. Here as. Well my head is a saudi human rights activists he says under an absolute monarchy justice can never be achieved in saudi arabia. I dont think we are even close to justice. The public process prosecutor in saudi arabia if he had gone a little bit higher so lets say if he said im a sad man is connected it wasnt to be a court order to bring we had to submit to it because. We are an absolute monarchy where. Justice is very hard to achieve when as a special or touch from the u. S. Government was all this coming now just. To make things clear that man was out of saudi arabia for a whole year before he was killed so this is not 6 an incident that is out of context this is really i may have europe does so do government where it can said the killing this event is legal im against the Death Penalty even part of this fight be because the penalty shouldnt be issued from the saudi government and his circumstances because we dont tao. He said court system and for sure and i absolutely want to keep people in the top cat has done a do not pay the price is not a Prime Minister who will be changed for his family or is there to stay forever if i dont eat ice. The chief executive of u. S. Plane make a boeing has been fired thats less than a week out of the companys suspended production of its once best selling jetliner boeing says the leadership change is necessary to restore confidence after a turbulent year set off by the twin crashes of the 737 lax wasnt jordan has more now from washington d. C. Its the biggest crisis and boeings 103 year history on monday after 2 fatal crashes involving its 737. 00 max jetliner boeing fired its c. E. O. Dennis mullen burge for breaching the publics trust. The board of directors decided that a change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the Company Moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators customers and all other stakeholders. 189 people died when a lion air 737 max crashed in indonesia in october 2018 less than 6 months later another 157 people were killed when an Ethiopian Airlines jet also a 737. 00 max crashed in the north of that country the u. S. Government forced boeing to ground the jet until problems with both the operating software and with Pilot Training could be fixed weve made mistakes weve learned and we are still learning but despite repeated promises from mulund berg to get the planes back in the air by the end of this year the problems continue regulators in the u. S. And europe have refused to clear the 737 max is returned to the skies and lawsuits are pending a lawsuit alleges that the why america crash was in part a result of a recently dangerous conditions of boeing 737 max aero aircraft boeing has lost more than 8000000000. 00 and another 8000. 00 companies are also suffering from lost Business Airlines are scrambling to revise their Business Plans and juggle flight schedules since they dont want to use or buy jets with a dodgy Safety Record and on friday boeing had a setback in its Space Business its starglider transport shuttle suffered technical problems forcing nasa to ditch a planned docking with the International Space station. If the new c. E. O. David calhoun takes charge in january its now up to him to reassure everyone that boeing is taking their faith in flying seriously rosalynn jordan aljazeera washington seth kaplan is an Airline Industry expert he says boeing has chosen continuity by appointing a c. E. O. From within the company theyve chosen somebody who of course is not just the sort of independent voice from the outside its their chairman of the board whos stepping into the c. E. O. Role i mean a respected person in industry but they sort of had to choose between perhaps somebody more independent who might have had more credibility with regulators in terms of saying hey i wasnt a part of the mess im here to clean it up and somebody with the Institutional Knowledge that David Calhoun has clearly they wanted to go with continuity and at least somewhat of a fresh voice but not an entirely new and independent one live share price it rose today predictably enough i mean i think in the end thats kind of part of what caused the board to move right there their 1st responsibility all those things so much more here in this case is to increase the value of the company and it was pretty predictable that if they moved on that they would do that but yeah this is the this is a mess that took a long time to make and its not one thats going to be fixed quickly here different sets of problems the internal ones the design of course of the aircraft the fix to the end cast system that the whole world now knows all too much about but also the way the company has been represented externally i think in the end what caused this move today was that loss of credibility with lawmakers with regulators even with the f. A. A. In the u. S. The very the regulator that was a co accused of being too cozy with boeing you know once the f. A. A. Faith in boeing clearly had been shaken then there wasnt much left to to explain why why would stay but yet in terms of restoring that credibility its going to be a long term project hopefully from boeings perspective one that begins today.

I wanted to work out if theres an official wording of preselecting stars that might have the planets so these are stars that previously we didnt necessarily know have planets orbiting about them. And we used a particular signature in the light coming from the star. And we measured we looked at that signature for quite a few stars those days in about 2 and a half to 3000. 00 stars we have this this is the best pacific measurement that we were interested in and it turns out that about 40 of those of those have a very unique property which tells us something that tells us that these these stars may indeed harbor harbor planets but thats only really the 1st stage because we need to go back for we need to actually see if they really did harbor the planets and thats thats the work that we that weve been carrying out and it turns out its the method weve used is it seems to be very efficient. All those stars which was observateur which we have sufficient number of measurements of the stars have in fact have a warm home of planets so this is a very efficient technique for for identifying planets actively.
