On the turkey syria border at least 8 civilians are being killed in a car bombing in Northern Syria it happened just 10 kilometers south of the border in the turkish old town of sudoku a woman and a child were among the dead several others have been wounded theres been no claim of responsibility for the attack. A bus has plunged off the road and into a ravine in indonesia killing at least 24 people it happened in South Sumatra province the bus was carrying 37 passengers the police are on the scene investigating as to why the vehicle lost control chinas premier says the leaders of japan and south korea have agreed to cooperate on the issue of north korea it is one of the key issues at a summit taking place in the chinese city of chengdu relations between south korea and japan have soured in recent months but the 2 nations do say they are committed to promoting dialogue between north korea and the u. S. Soldier in tokyo allies of the United States whose naval presence in the region has been repeatedly condemned by beijing and historical animosities remain including south korean demands that japan apologize for abuses committed during the 2nd world war katrina you joins us live from beijing katrina theyve heard this News Conference what else are we learning. Well as you mentioned these countries have very complicated histories but theyre doing their very best or theyve done their very best today to move past their disagreements and really try to work on some shared said the benefits between them and also really focus on what they have in common as the 3 biggest economies in asia a trade was clearly one of those things and they were talking about ways they could boost the complimentarity that they have between in the kitchen talked about how china has a lot of needs in terms of its supply chain and in i think it wasnt mentioned at the trade war i think i think chinas really looking to sort of lean into its relationships with south korea and japan really working to improve for example its innovation industry with those 2 countries i mentioned that both countries also mentioned that there they would like to work towards pushing for a signing of the r. E. C. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and also continue to explore a trilateral Free Trade Agreement other things that they mention really talking about other shared challenges that they have between those 3 countries for example the environment and Climate Change and also the vapidly aging population so all 3 leaders talked about how they could possibly Work Together and tackle those issues together and as you mentioned you know they signed they worked towards an agreement for the next 10 years that there are some more urgent issues at hand and the main one being north korea and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula all 3 leaders mentioned that they want to continue to push for dialogue and also that they want to continue to support the process between pyongyang and washington they want to do whatever they can to facilitate those talks and ensure those talks are a success but china at the same time i think it was focusing on really having these 3 countries Work Together present united front when it comes to that issue and reminding i think the people in this press conference that these are the 3 of the 3 countries who are best who are most affected and also best positioned to see that pieces. Is sustained in the Korean Peninsula does this mean that all 3 countries benefit just looking at the trade as you because we must be talking about sums of money in the multi 1000000000. 00 range. Thats right so in 2019 trade between these 3 countries was in excess of 700000000000. 00 and actually these 3 countries think that. Despite their differences and the tensions between them that they can actually do even better so theyre exploring ways to improve that trade china and japan have for the last few years had a very and almost untenable relationship and its been on the up and up and many analysts say that this is really an thanks actually to the trade war between the u. S. And china that china is actually leaning into its relationship with japan for that reason so i think all of these countries see that they at a time when the Global Economy is slowing and indeed these 3 countries are facing a slowing economy themselves i think they really in a way being forced by the circumstances to work even more closely together when it comes to to the issue of trade.

Indias Main Opposition Congress party is accusing the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of silencing the voice of the people their anger is growing against a controversial new citizenship law now it grant citizenship to religious minorities from 3 neighboring countries but excludes muslims at least 25 people have been killed in protests elizabeth iran is in new delhi. Thank you and now the crackdown in the heart of the capitol hill. Police detaining protesters outside the federal headquarters of alter pradesh state. That the people condemned the killing of 1000 demonstrators there in the past few days the delhi protesters said they wanted to give a voice to people.

To do this constitution was drafted by people of all faiths the voices of muslims sikhs and christians is in dealer part of the constitution and you cannot attack it and if you do the nation.

The chief executive of boeing has been sacked that comes less than a week after the company suspended production of his ones best selling aircraft the 737 max boeing says the leadership change is necessary to restore confidence after a turbulent year set off by 2 crashes involving the 737 banks aircraft is in washington. 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 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 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 rosalind jordan aljazeera washington while 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 who are 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 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 m. Caste system that the whole world now knows all too much about but also the way the company has been represented externally and 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. Is faith in boeing clearly had been shaken then there wasnt much left to to explain why why would stay but but yet in terms of restoring that credibility its going to be a long term project hopefully from boeings perspective one that begins today. Russias president has taken the 1st train ride across the straits on a newly built rail route linking most school in some pieces but to crimea living it looks and says it will carry around 14000000 passengers and about 13000000. 00 tons of free next year but ukraine says its construction is illegal and it wants the blanks peninsula back to russia annexed the region. From ukraine in 24. While the railing between russia and crimea is being described by critics of International Law until 5 years ago the Crimean Peninsula was only accessible from mainland ukraine travelers wanting to get to and from russia had to fly or take a ferry after Russian Troops next crime scene a majority voted yes in a referendum to join the Russian Federation and president putin announced the decision to build a 4000000000. 00 bridge without the consent of ukraines Government Spending 1000 kilometers is the longest in Eastern Europe and opened last year when mr putin drove a truck over it the us and e. U. Impose sanctions on Companies Involved in its construction now trains are running to 1st from St Petersburg to crimeas largest cities to bust a poll and on tuesday from moscow to the capital simferopol former nato chief of staff mark simak off skis as the new Railway Shows russia is solidifying its control over crimea. Its increased its military presence in crimea and so the economic element is critical without a bridge crimea is essentially isolated and increasing russian tourism and economic links to the mainland is critical so many ways this is something that is expected but it still violates International Law the other piece about this bridge i think is critical is d its military in a way that it think it would create some choke point and hazard for ukrainian shipping that this bridge was constructed in agreement with ukraine it wouldve been a lot higher and so in many ways the russians are using this groups to choke off ukraine economically just like theyve created as a lifeline in crimea showcases russias continued interest in undermining ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity and also rejecting International Sanctions that have put in place against russia the International Community rejects that sanctions and yes russia and its not only crimea thats going to come under russian domination there are 2 provinces in Eastern Ukraine that russia continues to occupy that are part cranium territory so in many ways the crimea story is a larger part of the future of ukraine in the future of europe because russias interests and ambitions extend beyond crimea.
