it is a german flight that has crashed over france, coming from spain. so france, germany and spain are all involved. the response has been very quick. one of the indications of how quick the recovery operation has gone the black box has already been recovered despite the very difficult terrain where the plane went down. the other part of this operation, of course, is to provide immediate counseling to the loved ones of those who perished on the flight, and that counseling is being provided both in dusseldorf directly at the airport and also for the various family members of the victims in spain. ben: what more can you tell us about the victims? terry: there were 150 people on board the plane. 144 passengers and six crew. the chairman, the ceo of germanwings which was operating this flight, gave a press conference earlier in the afternoon. he said that according to his information, 67 passengers were germans. he was also asked at the press conference directly if there were any chinese nationals on board. he said no, in response to that. we have since lea

heavy rains caused flash flooding here in eastern spain on monday. firefighters had to rescue some people, who were trapped in their homes and cars. the same storm system moving very slow. the key thing i want you to note here look at the jet stream. whenever you have these big dips in the jet stream typically does indicate the storm is moving rather slow. if it was just moving from west to east, it would indicate it's moving at a fast pace. pump that moisture up from the south, at least for the next 48 hours, especially in the higher elevations you're seeing the snowfall snowfall. rescue crews are going to have a hard time out there. as it moves through the east we're going to start to see some improving conditions. definitely an important and ongoing story here. i want to talk about what else is going on in much of europe and around the world. down there toward madrid you're seeing 100 kilometer an hour winds. back toward the east also some unstable weather there in eastern portions of the mediterranean. sunny skies in your forecast. talking about

french territory obviously the fact that the plane belonged to a german carrier and flying between spain and germany indicates strongly that there would have been at least some spanish and german citizens onboard. it does fall to the french to take the lead to this, because it was near to a french village that the plane has come down. the fact that president francois hollande has responded and come out in public quickly and the fact that he does seem to be taking the lead object the information does follow the path on his response to emergencies in recent time. it's only a couple of months ago since we had a series of shootings here in paris. again, the french president was very much in the front row, very much visible taking the lead as in deed was his interior minister. he's very much in line with the behavior of the french president and from this government in dealing with emergencies. there's a website called flight radar that produces animations of the flight paths. it's been tracking this particular plane's journey and now we can have a look at flight 9525 to see the pattern as it

and if you travel in the north of spain, where this company is the largest company in that part of spain, you will see that their cities and towns--i was there this summer--you can see right away. you don't have the slum over here and the fancy neigh-- you don't have any of that. there are people with more and less, but it's, the gap is completely different. it's a part of the world in which you could say something like the following and not be lying through your teeth: "everybody's in the middle class." they really did that. but if you want that, this is a way to get it. here's a second thought: you think if the workers made the decisions collectively, they would decide to close the factory or the office where they're working and open one in china, thereby destroying their jobs, their incomes, and the community? ehh, i would guess not. not a big chance of that. you know what they would do instead? they would say, "whatever problems our company has"--like all companies, they have problems--one of the solutions that are not available is leaving. you can't do that. and, by the way, there's

they're in spain, just on the way back. two teachers as well. and the community that they're from is place called haltern. it's north from where i am. and the entire community is absolutely devastated. they went out today, nominated a spokesperson the mayor of the town he gave a press conference where he had a lot of trouble holding it together because the entire town there is really in a state of mourning. there's flowers that are being laid down in front of that school. there are people who are obviously coming by, lighting candles. it's something that has gripped that entire community, and it's really only just some of the many tragic things that we're finding out. there's also two opera singers who were also on the flight. one of them was traveling with her small baby. one of two babies who was killed on that flight. the more we piece together the identities of those who were killed more of the magnitude of what happened on that flight becomes real and it has plunge that country, germany, into a state of shock tonight, erin. >> a state of sh

well 16 passengers were from one school in germany returning from a school trip in spain. there have been candles lit in their memory in germany. scattered over a vast area in accessible, long valleys very difficult for people to get there. the french authorities though, have managed to recover one flight recorder from the scene. bringing the bodies down from in area will take some time, and we're understand that could be made harder with storm forecasted to move in overnight. this is where the entire operation is being coordinated from. jacky rowland is precisely where the rescue operation is being operated from. and dominic kane is in duesseldorf. let's begin with jacky rowland. too cold too dark and too difficult to get there at this time? >> yes david, it was a difficult enough task to begin with. obviously now absolutely black raining as well. there is no way that search operations could continue. whether forecasting suggesting that there could be worse weather and possibly even know in the coming hours, which will make it more difficult for searches to uncover bits o

spain is still observing three days of national mourning were declared in the wake of this crash. and people are looking around very much for explanations. and of course this speculation about what may have happened in the cockpit are just making things very very much harder for many many people here. but the government saying it is working with the authorities, in france and in germany, the ceo of lufthansa came here last night, because he said he wanted to personally express his sympathy not just with the relatives and friends, but with the people of spain in general. so there is i think, a sense of people gathering around and trying to do what they can, in this investigation, which all say, though will be a long process. >> yeah thank you. a few difficult days ahead. in fact, months or years for these victims' families. bethany, thank you so much indeed. you can probably see from the weather here that conditions are much better as far as those investigation teams are concerned and for the recovery of the bodies and the wreckage of the plane. a few clouds over the mountains, but
