Serious than you think. Is the business i was in berlin welcome boeing attempts to win back the confidence of regulators and the public without inviting increased oversight its present his proposed changes to flood software on its seven three seven max act profit on wednesday thats off the two deadly crashes involving the model in five months also on wednesday the head of the Us Federal Aviation Administration defended the agencys practice of relying on aircraft makers to help certify their own plates for safety he he told lawmakers in washington that the f. A. A. Would need ten thousand more employees to handle all aircraft so if a case internally. Here in the seven three seven max crashes have raised questions about the f. A. A. Has oversight of how airplanes a certified according to senator ted cruz who says consumers are rightly concerned the fact of the matter is that these crashes and subsequent reports on how the seven thirty seven max was approved have badly shaken Consumer Confidence in aviation. As in other industries where a small mistake can have catastrophic consequences trust is the currency of the realm but when some were incensed that the f. A. A. Allowed boeing to certify its own aircraft claiming the crashes were a result of competition between the worlds two biggest aircraft manufacturers process the fact is that the f. A. A. Decided to do safety on the cheap which is neither cheap nor safe. And put the fox in charge of the hen house that was true the seven thirty seven max eight. In its rush to produce that aircraft because of competition from air bus. Critical safety features were disregarded. Boeing rejects most of the criticism the seven through seven is a safe airplane the seven three seven family is a safe airplane family and the seven three seven max builds on that tremendous history of safety that weve seen for the last almost fifty years meanwhile boeing says it has a software fix which will prevent any more seven three seven mixes from flying themselves into the ground but the f. A. A.

Malaysia is threatening to ban imports from the e. U. In a little known trade war that has been brewing for a while but its about oil and not crude palm oil but the worlds biggest producers and the e. U. Now wants to ban the use of palm oil and biofuels to stop rainforests being cleared away for new plantations in retaliation bush says it will boycott european products and that may include a batch of youre a fighter jets cargo hold up malaysia is also a big player and there is a community and could torpedo a trade deal with the e. U. That is currently under negotiation. Plantation owners started these fires they want to create new areas for their palm trees the fires are illegal but they burn again and again the government is trying to protect the rain forest on biodiversity and the people who suffer from the effects of the smoke. The fruit of the palm tree weighs up to four kilograms the biggest consumers of the oil from the fruit are indonesia and china followed by the European Union. Its chiefly used to cook with but is also often an ingredient in food or cosmetics. Palm oil is also used as a bio fuel additive in the e. U.

The government in kuala lumpur is coming out in support of the six hundred fifty thousand Small Farmers whose livelihoods depend on palm oil it says hot the forests are now protected the focus has switched to increase productivity the government is even introduced a certificate for green plantations. Malaysia has threatened to retaliate at the e. U.

We were one of the first Asian Countries to buy russian. Planes. The government has also threatened to boycott the planned Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the association of Southeast Asian nations. From Southeast Asia desk. Give us an idea of the scale of this whos got more to lose malaysia or the u. S. Is the e. U.

How serious is malaysia strive to council that youre a fighter or. Well to me it seems more like pressure tactic because. Prime minister mahathir did go and go ahead and actually downplayed the threat saying it was only a suggestion now having said that if i mean we wouldnt be surprised if china actually walks away with it if i did just deal from malaysia because malaysia has made some strange choices when it comes to buying fighter jets in the past when it was to do with sukhoi from russia and also that would be a big blow for the european jet makers you know fighter and the saudi aviation which have been actually campaigning hard for almost a decade to win this deal which could be valued at around two billion dollars a blow blow for the your father story about how damaging is this for malaysias economy briefly if you can. Malaysia depends a lot on family. Exports i mean but having but we need to put things into perspective overall an effect on the g. D. P. Is not going to be huge because only fifteen or twenty percent of the g. D. P. Is five percent of total exports is palm oil. Funded i thank you very much.
