These ones tutorials for use different lifestyle Luxury Real Estate and super yacht. All board with one named money, but today the malaysian financier jolo, who is on the wrong ones, abiathar g. C. In the United States and malaysia in recording angel cheney exclusive by aljazeera. Joe is heard for the 1st time trying to college deal with my hearty among hammonds government, soon after 8 historic election win in may 2018. On the jolo protests since the missile used the office to return all the assets purchased with one name to be funds. And thats i think hes delusional. Former f. B. I. Special agent, deborah love provocateur, worked on the agencys initial one m. T. B. Investigation. You know, its like the bank robber who gets caught it is like, well if i return the money, then i dont want to be charged with robbing the bank. Well, you still robbed the bank, and in this case here, you robbed the Development Fund and theres strong evidence he deed, according to the man who led the f. B. I. Is one m. T. V. Investigation until recently. And i think were very confident that we will be able to prove involvement and his position in this scheme. In july, this year. Joes coconspirator, malaysias former Prime Minister, as you present, was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, subject to an appeal for crimes related to wanting to be back in 2018. Jolo put all the blame on him, but being the fugitive to justice has proved challenging. Despite 2, interpol red notices against him and multiple passports canceled, he continues to evade authorities and travel. The only way theyre going to happen is through corruption and through the full resources of one or more governments. But according to the fugitive life on the run is not easy. Question. 2 years on and hes still paying millions of dollars to noise and around the world. Marianne jolie eligible, well, Bridget Welsh is a Senior Research associate at the National Taiwan university. Say she says it appears china is health in jolo high and hes the consummate the deal maker. And you know, he said hes now the fugitive fixer, hes trying to fix the situation for himself. But i think what it shows also is that the back of the harper government at that time chose not to make a deal. But i think its important to recognize we have a new government in malaysia. And one of the things thats happened is that we dont see the same attention to some of the prosecutions compared to the past. But i do think that there are a number of warrants from multiple countries for joel low. So i think the chances of him actually remaining a fugitive and actually placing some sort of justice are still quite high on both sides. Right now hes being protected and it looks like hes been protected by china and he seems to be in macau. And i think this is an important issue because the Chinese Government is says not really dressing some of the issues in terms of the calls by governments to return him back to them. The Chinese Government was seen to be involved in one m. T. B. And as a consequence, there are questions that are being asked about this. Well, the full program jolo hunt for a fugitive will.

Banning all gatherings of more than 8 people for the 1st time. Europes bracing for a long, hard winter with leaders urging people to enjoy more just a few more months of discipline and self sacrifice. It will be worth it in the end. So the german chancellor angela merkel. The future of europe depends on it. Needs barca, aljazeera. Well, lets head back to Charles Moran, the republican political strategist in washington, where we were trying to talk about the vote recount in the u. S. State of georgia. Charles, do you hope the scaife is working again . This time i was asking if you could just remind us why georgia is particularly important in this instance, not just the recounts which is on the way, but also the Upcoming Senate reelection. Why is this so critical . Thanks so much, hala for having me on all our 50 states here in america, they execute their elections differently. And the situation in georgia, isnt this necessarily counting the ballots . Its more about the veracity of the ballots. Should they be counted . Theyre in, in 2016, the number of mail in ballots was 200000, that there were checks in rate of 3 percent. In 2020, the number of mail in ballots got rocketed by 6 or 6 times to 1600000, but that rejection rate plunged to just 2 point there. A point to 4 percent in massive drop. So the reason this is so important is that we definitely see activity with the account with the veracity of those ballots. That is, is very questionable and with 2 more varied. His Little Senate seats being up in january, this is a time where we have to make sure that this canal election is conducted cleanly and fairly is the, is this, the baby of the United States senate and that control is up for grabs the chili, that 6 percent percent jump in the number of mail in ballots, not just in georgia, but nationally. You can put that into the coronavirus pandemic. Sure. They are not some kind of the ferry to try to steal no election. You know . Oh, i absolutely agree with that, hala we would expect there to be more, but the validation rate and the number of the ballots that are rejected because of the errors should have stayed consistent. Instead, it went down by it went from 3 percent to point to 4. Percent. So again, that type of decline in the haraszti of those ballots of whether or not that they should be counted and whether or not there after they are authentic. Thats one of the Big Questions that President Trump is bringing up and it has to be dealt with. Its a big question from a 3 percent or 2 for that. A huge decrease. Even though youve seen the number of mail in ballots skyrocket by 6 times yet, nobody is suggesting that ballots that are not legal should be. The critical issue here is that sure the expert should be left in charge of this election official. The top election official in georgia is a republican and say hes assisting that they are doing this fairly and squarely. And yet hes coming on to a sustained attack. Not just from the president s of the United States, but also the republican candidates. We are seeing republicans attacking each other. The u. S. President , weighing in on intricacies of this was this really a bait that thats because the selection is currently in the margins. When you look at states like arizona and nevada and georgia and pennsylvania, where in some cases, you know, one candidate is only headed by a couple of 1000 votes, you know, maybe 10 or 20000 votes. The margins actually matter. So thats why youre seeing a lot of attention, even within the, even within the republican party. We have to get this ryans, i mean, the core of our democracy is about one vote for one person and everybodys vote be treated equally under the law. And thats part of the argument that the president s camp legal team is arguing is some votes are not be treated as equally as others that it doesnt matter if youre a democrat or republican democrat should be pushing just as hard to make sure that this is done. The right way, there were Serious Problems in this country with the way that elections will be run. Some states were done very well. Ok, some were not why this is so awkward. Ok, Charles Moran there joining us from washington. D. C. , thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. Lets move on. Might see armenia, where the foreign minister has resigned as thousands of people have marched through the capital yaro of on demand saying, Prime Minister, nico passion, and do the same.

And just before we analysts bring you some live pictures. Now this is the docking of a space. X. Caps.

My father that im having my, hes in with the headlines on aljazeera. The u. S. Pharmaceutical company says early results show its a current
