Crash tragedies overshadow Paris Air Show
We report from the Paris Air Show after visiting a plane crash site in Ethiopia
We report from the Paris Air Show after visiting a plane crash site in Ethiopia, and ask bosses of airlines: what is the future of air travel and how can you fix clear problems still very much present in the minds of many victims? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Theo Leggett threads together the bigger picture, after Boeing has again apologised for the two crashes of its 737 Max aircraft. We hear from the boss of Ethiopian Airlines who has hit back at claims his pilots should bear some of the blame for one of those crashes . Also, the Hong Kong business leaders in favour of - and against - the demonstrations over a controversial extradition bill, which critics say could threaten the independence of the territory's financial district. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Danny Vincent has been speaking to protesters from Hong Kong's influential business community.
