Pilots logged multiple concerns with Boeing 737 Max planes ahead of Sunday's crash.
Pilots logged multiple concerns with Boeing 737 Max planes ahead of Sunday's crash. Kristy Kiernan is an aviation expert based at Embry-Riddell Aeronautical University in Florida, and tells us what the reports of problems made by pilots mean for the future of the plane. Also in the programme, as the debate over how Britain should leave the European Union continues to rage, we hear from farmers on both sides of the border in Ireland who are concerned about the UK's plans for tariffs in the event of a no-deal Brexit. And we discuss what's likely to happen next with Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Sebastien Dullien at the European Council on Foreign Relations. We hear from Bangladesh, where Human Rights Watch says more than 4,000 workers who took part in a wage hike protest have been barred from working in garment factories. Plus our reporter in India finds out how one of the world's biggest-selling biscuits, Parle-G, is adapting as increased costs threaten the business.
