because princes it is technically no longer a princess she was the first born of king bhumibol own but she married an american in one thousand nine hundred seventy two and spent thirty years living in the us and because of that she forfeited her title she wasn't stripped of them it's so if you marry a common you lose your titles if you're a type princess and she came back and those titles have not been restored so there's speculation about whether they would be restored and this plays into a very complicated narrative that concerns the coronation which is due after the election in may and we have to see what will happen she's one of three candidates for this particular party for prime minister we'd have to see what happens after that if after words she had a titles restored that would be a very interesting development a weather update next year on syria then we'll tell you why over half of sudan's university professors leaving the country and. first for europe's largest major film

sunshine across the philippines and across through parts of vietnam cambodia and into thailand we have a couple of showers a further south want to rather picky ones over parts of somalia and into java and we're also seeing a couple over parts of borneo but even here i think predominantly we're going to see fine weather as we head through the next few days so lots of dry weather then just one or two showers for us in borneo a few more showers force in java and across into somalia as well i think in singapore we could also casualty roll they have to chose at times down towards australia and here we've got warm weather front that's moving away from the southeast it's a lot cooler behind it and do expect there to be a little bit more in the way of wet weather as we head through saturday so wet and cool for us in melbourne it's temperature just of twenty degrees further north it is now a lot drier forcing queens on the top top top of queens and white just catch one or two more showers but really the area of low pressure is moving away now and taking the wet weather with it so things definitely improving for us for western australia well here we still have the heat with us to the

al jazeera let's take a moment for lunch of the main news this hour the u.s. envoy to venezuela says that the time for dialogue with president nicolas maduro is over washington wants him to leave the

was made in the underground facility as part of celebrations marking the fortieth anniversary of the revolution it's a show of military strength after the u.s. withdrew from the iran nuclear agreement last year and imposed sanctions on iran. zain this ravi reports from the iranian capital. any time iran unveils a weapon of this magnitude it is militarily significant it is technically an escalation of of the military capability in the middle east and it stands to reason that that raises tensions but at the same time we have to remember that iran does much of its military activity most of its operations both inside the country and abroad in allied countries the forces that it has deployed are conventional military forces and it does most of its military operations it conducts those operations with conventional military arsenals so it's important to this is really one of those stories it's important to stand that it's as significant what didn't happen this was not a launch this was an unveiling i think iranian strategists are aware that a launch would escalate tensions and send the wrong message and this unveiling is very much about messaging the messages to both allies and enemies to allies in europe who have criticized the missile program iran's ballistic missile program it's a message to say don't waste your time don't waste your breath we will continue to develop the weapons we feel we need for our own defense to enemies it is a signal that we have the capability to retaliate when fired upon now it is the fortieth anniversary of the islamic revolution that brought the current republic into power for decades ago so the timing is also significant the military leadership here wants to get maximum p.r. value for its developments for its advancements senior white

been arrested since protests over a rise in the price of bread began in december human rights activists say that at least forty five people have been killed president bashir has a knowledge that growing economic hardship has angered young people but he blames foreign sanctions for the troubles or the unrest in sudan is having an impact at all levels of society and it's not just dividing

putting forward a political roadmap which they say could get sudan out of its crisis and a sudan for hyla right now sudan is trying to get out of its present situation through a peaceful transition of power so we need to discuss why sudan has failed to introduce the culture of political will turn it is why are we speaking about it now when we could have done so right after independence. high hopes there but low expectations here because these intellectuals say they are used to being ignored. so many initiatives like this one of the launch but the government listens to and gives prestigious status only to those who carry arms intellectuals and never considered worthy of such privilege such feeling of neglect a constant suppression of freedoms and. of a worsening economic situation have pushed thousands of sudanese professionals to leave the country in search of better opportunities those include more than fifty percent of sudan's university professors on the c.s. . divan sided

president donald trump and has denied that its reporting was politically motivated france says its military cooperation with cameroon will continue despite the united states withdrawing some of its assistance u.s. officials announced the suspension on wednesday accusing security forces in the west african nation of committing human rights violations it comes after videos circulated online appearing to show security forces shooting civilians cameron has cooperated closely with the u.s. in the fight against the group boko. i would say our quake is deputy director of advocacy and government relations at amnesty international in the u.s. he says the suspension is an opportunity for cameron to address its human rights record. it sends a message to the cameroon security forces that business as usual is no longer acceptable and that they need to change and initiate new serious reforms the abuses that we're talking about not only terrorize the population and the people that the security forces are supposed to protect but it potentially also radicalize certain people it created grievances and it certainly cut off any kind of cooperation with the security forces in counterinsurgency efforts all of those i think would have aided boko haram more than what is going on here and the relationship is not ended it's just basically been suspended certain parts of it so it's i think an or an opportunity for cameroon and for the other countries in the alliance to sort of revisit their obligations to comply with human rights after nearly eight years of war syrians living abroad are using their creativity to continue the message of change and resistance some are using music others performing arts officer a sullivan job at metz one such group near the syrian border with turkey. for centuries their route has been used to express joy or pain it's the instrument of choice for syrian artists such as jihad in yemen the used to design graphics and indeed years in aleppo and fled across the border to gaza. when the syrian revolution began you had started to sing tunes of resistance. aleppo remain at the heart of the uprising until it was seized by syrian government forces for the help of iranian troops and russian jets. he tries to immerse himself in writing songs and composing music but what he saw in aleppo never leaves his thoughts. if not for a long time we crossed the street where children were playing with a yellow football i heard the sort of a barrel bomb and we ducked we went to check on the kids and all of them but. dead do you know how painful it is to see body parts of young children scattered in front of you i will never forget that. many syrians had no idea that their creativity would. bring but now. their message of change and resistance are you an art you had in yemen designed some tyrant comedy sketches to take a poke at armed groups the assad regime and fellow syrians they say laughter is the best medicine and that's why they have created a small studio with the help of a turkish friend. first it wasn't enough but now they make ends meet by selling their content to some online channels. says they don't know if their work makes people happy but it helps them forget their pain even if it is for a few minutes. we didn't leave aleppo we had to escape from aleppo from the regime the bloodbath and the destruction at the beginning we just wanted to deliver a message now that we have an audience people always ask us for more. the group says much of serious creative talent is now scattered some of been killed some opted for living under the regime while others are living in other countries. this didn't romanticize about the message of the revolution and see it was only about freedom they have hope they will return home some time. these days that's all they dream about. the berlin international film festival festival is underway dozens of films will be screened during the several of them vying for

billion dollars stolen from malaysia's sovereign wealth fund one indeed. the former prime minister najib razak faces almost forty criminal charges. and the malaysian financier jolo is wanted by authorities in malaysia singapore and the united states . i'm steve cho on this episode a one on one east we investigate the deals and alleged criminal cover ups that rob malaysians of billions of dollars and track down the accidental hero who blew the whistle and. it's been a massive fool for malaysia's former prime minister najib resign like ousted from power in may last year he's banned from leaving the country and his family homes have been raided. police seizing two hundred and seventy million dollars worth of cash and luxury goods could be good but a lot of gifts it was are not fair you know to parade and to put a value on the steam's as far as i'm concerned i was not doing anything wrong. but is not a result of faces mounting charges a name asis from the past slips into the cup at all kuala lumpur. and in these. years. the swiss national info. banket turned businessman is regarded as a hero in what's being dubbed the new malaysia today xavi just is a keynote speaker at an anti corruption summit he provided the crucial evidence exposing the lead scam that saw more than four point five billion dollars siphoned out of malaysia's sovereign wealth fund one him to be. acting against criminals can be very dangerous they would do anything to keep the money they have no libyans and with this they took everything from us i spent ten months in jail and they made my wife suffer long they. they still be indians from poor people and just because. i have to forget you know they have to pay. at home in switzerland the shore of lake geneva office the serenity xaverian his wife noura crying. the past three and a half years have been tumultuous as a couple found themselves in broiled in malaysia's financial scandal. their nightmare began in twenty fifteen when they were living in thailand and building a resort. laura was visiting family in switzerland with their eight month old son when the thai police arrested her husband for review or area when i went to work for. your thing matter of time. and the second i knew he was arrested i knew it was because it was already and i could feel it was going to be bigger than. than what it was. petro saudi is a company at the heart of malaysia's stolen billion in two thousand and nine it entered into a one point eight billion dollars joint venture with one aim to be. the deal was struck on a make a yacht in the mediterranean on board the now fugitive malaysian financier an alleged mastermind jolo who then prime minister najib resigned and his wife. and the hosts petro saudi cofounders prince turki a son of the late king of saudi arabia and to record by at the time to record buried was one of saving is best friends february two thousand. contacted me a couple of times. office because they signed a deal with the malaysian. money and they needed directly the guy that you could trust. to run to run the company. xavi went to work with a record by eight and another director patrick mahoney but seven months into the job he says things started to sour it said that if you receive a lot of money you become crazy that's a fact i sold up direct started buying a flat after you bought. renting your in the south of france it's probably unfamiliar euro's weak everything becomes like extravaganza so i started to treat me like a star in west treating other people very bad xavier resigned in april twentieth levon he says he was all moved two point five million dollars and to ensure he paid he had more than two hundred thirty thousand confidential emails downloaded from the company server on to a hard drive. again there were a lot of money involved. access to the financial gutters also they were going to be what would be i would worry until. three years later he says he still hadn't been paid so he began looking for a potential buyer for the dark. british journalist claire brown had already been investigating suspected corruption behind one in d b what first caught my eye was the fact that the young son a step son of the prime minister of malaysia had been targeted as the producer of one of hollywood's most expensive movies the reason rizzi is a stepson of knowledge of resign act and one of the producers of the twenty thirteen one hundred million dollar hollywood blockbuster wolf of wall street he was claiming he put his own money in and there was really no there was no money behind trees so where was this money coming from and looking into it deeper i had very quickly ascertained that at resist side there was this young financial low who was connected to one and dubious advisor so what i was asking was a very simple question to begin with were the missing billions that no one could account for that had disappeared from one and were they in any way linked to the tens of millions that suddenly the stepson of the prime minister was able to invest in this film about theft and large acts. those search for answers led her to a meeting with xavier in twenty fourteen i went to bangkok and i met this strange man in the middle of bangkok who someone of war may be a russian mafia she was scared and i was going to be in a world that it. luckily that my hunch was correct and it was a former director of patricide none other than. he explained how he gradually had begun to realize there was something very troubling about this joint venture with one m.t.p. . he started to show me some of his emails that he had from this database. the one in d.b.a. petro saudi deal struck on the yorkshire required when nature to initially invest one billion dollars in the joint venture and petro saudi to contribute energy concessions valued at almost three billion dollars. it's very easy and i listen at money what they did the bin in the front company something that could appear very legal and they found this very beautiful name. it looks like it's the official oil company of saudi arabia that's the only quality but. this beautiful name so the frame of the gun where the stub of. the e-mails showed those billions of dollars were the petro saudi energy concessions had been hugely and fraudulently overvalued something's a.v.o. always suspected and now believed was crucial to the alleged criminal scam in two thousand and nine. but you can hone and ask me if i knew a company or a guy that could evaluate the four to billions. they said no way i'm going to us. a company that is worth pretty much nothing for the billions but it seems mahoney in a bird age got what they wanted by restricting the work of the value asia is cause of work is to have value. a number of assets not look at the owner of the title. so you just overlooking something is nothing i can see is. giving privilege or not is not belonging to. and xavi is cache of documents revealed even more fraudulent activity he was flicking through very quickly and there was there was one sort of bank transfer. i said to him can we go back and look at that because there was a seven an awful lot of zeros i'm assuming it was a seven hundred thousand dollar transfer but actually was there as an extra three cirrus on that was it a seven hundred million dollar transfer and he said yeah seven hundred million. the dart it clearly showed that only three hundred million of malaysia's one billion dollars cash investment made it into the joint venture account. seven hundred million winch to his suite spank account controlled by none other then joe law. you should of all the red flags. go through and wanted to. go. according to the tens of millions then allegedly flowed from there to to record and on to prince turki and patrick mahoney. and are no into the world back then also as the u.s. department of justice alleges into malaysia's then prime minister knowledge of reserve acts personal bank account because they were there with a well. but a symbol of the. use the channels the bank accounts and that's when i saw that enormous number being transferred to a company that belonged to that it was an offshore instrument belonging to. that was when i knew i had a. shattering story. but very real wanted to point five million dollars before he'd give her the dollar i'm not sending this to your back bidder. this is worth a lot of one i just want to recover my money. i knew this was a story i couldn't just turn away from just because i didn't have a few million dollars in the end one of southeast asia's biggest media financial crepes got in touch and told me that they wanted to speak to us and what would be interested in buying salvias story. in february twenty fifth deen a deal was done xavier was promised two million dollars by the media conglomerate andrew castle brown left with a copy of the data a few days later she published her first story heist of this century. four months later xavier was jailed in thailand on a charge of attempted blackmail against saudi it was a terrible shock and there were some very very terrifying pictures i mean he is surrounded by heavily armed guards he was in handcuffs he was being he was being paraded for the malaysian media so therefore you could see that there was conspiracy here at the highest levels. back in malaysia then prime minister knowledge of reserve was facing a leadership crisis as he tried to explain one him degrees mind boggling fifteen billion dollar debt. xavi is a wrist was the start of a relentless campaign to discredit the former insider petrocelli announced it was a victim of a crime by an unscrupulous ex employee and hired a dart a security expert who then discredited castle brown t. stated to the world media that i had forged the data and that i had doctored it and that there was you know that i was lying and it was. that these things were being said so i knew something incredibly awkward was going on at a very high level and clearly hugely funded. and things would become even more or just design a.v.o. was about to go into court to apply for bail. while. ok the door open and there's a. bottom from scotland yard international investigation it's between you between malaysia and thailand the government does in anything wrong but we need you to cooperate with us you have to plead guilty. otherwise you go to prison. i'm not going to prison i'm not going to plead guilty of things i haven't done that that's ridiculous. xavier was denying to pale and jail what he didn't know at the time was the even leishman the so-called paul scott was not a scotland yard officer but instead a security consultant employed by petro saudi who seemingly had influence over time . i couldn't speak to no one. give me thought even where he worth. thousands of kilometers away in switzerland nora turned to claire rukh also brown for hope. we sat down and i you know and together i wrote the real story against what was being poured out against him in in malaysia and we published that. but then came a phone call for laura from the so-called poor scotch he was with xavier calling from the prison in thailand to tell her scotland yard was on the case laura told me yes they're the same all the savini subdue is to cooperate with the strategy of the scotland yard detectives mick to a little crime receive a slap on the wrist at this point i'm beginning to think why is the scotland yard detective asking survey to mit to something and nor someone i don't know but we have to put our trust in them in the hands because so obvious telling me i have to cooperate in prison in bangkok xavi a was cooperating meeting the so-called paul's guard and patrick mahoney regularly xavier's says paul dictated a confession it cleared petro saudi and one him to be of any wrongdoing and implicated rew castle brown in a plot to bring down malaysia's prime minister najib resign back i would have to confess whatever they wanted you have no idea what is the job you have to live up to understand i really wanted to go home to be with my wife and with my son. a bang directions xavier was marched out for a few carefully selected media interviews. a paper closely aligned with malaysia's then ruling party was first stop if you read the interview it's the same structure i started out. i'm a bad guy i'm a greedy guy you know the that i've been manipulated i work with journalists bloggers in court the nation with the opposition when most of the point he said class tampered with the daughter well you know that's one of those moments i knew i hadn't i knew he knew i hadn't so i knew exactly what was going on i'd taken my own sort of journalistic route to establish by that time that there was no official scotland yard investigation even though the t'ai police was saying that they had british scotland yard detectives working with them on the case in bangkok realised that we were talking about an extraordinary conspiracy the most oday shifts conspiracy. the one in t.v. scandal was escalating rapidly phonology brazil news breaking around the world that almost seven hundred million dollars had been deposited into his personal bank account. just as the attorney general was reportedly preparing to charge him with misappropriating one m.t.b. functions the prime minister sacked him from the position it was not merely because charges were but to be double that i had not been fully interviewed and if charges were noble before full investigation that's not probable. in orcus twenty fifteen under normal pressure xavi just pleaded guilty ensuring he'd be locked away until after malaysia's next general election i remember it was in the morning. with the foreigner. through here couldn't believe. just think. with angry a with was being played with being forced to do things i didn't want. my husband or them alone and desperate i had my son no it was on earth yeah i think it was one of the. of the worst time of my life. but laura didn't cut ties with petro saudi she says they were now promising an early release for her husband patrick called me and he was i mean but you know if. we had to do that for the press or the shaw don't worry you will celebrate christmas song with your husband. and you know this that's the point where. you know i have to have a backup plan. and corporate of the things that i was making sure that everything was recorded to make sure that if when the i could prove when they're done. laurie says patrick mahoney pressured her to download an application on her phone so she could record conversations with clear blue castle brown that could then be used to incriminate the journalist. actually i managed to record them . who they are pretty in a way because they forgot that every time they would call me it would've been recorded. many of the recordings are now evidence for criminal complaints the couple have filed in switzerland and the united kingdom and have also been shared with other all thora g.'s including the f.b.i. the prime minister of malaysia was often the subject of discussion so this is patrick mahoney and me he's saying that everyone is is in a lot of troubles and the prime minister of malaysia basically is in let's say a lot a lot of troubles because of what they've. seen one year this group. that . he. it seems they are six he's simulate. what are it's. that you know it's just that in the situation or people who are you that has. a propensity to stop laura plays another recording with patrick mahoney he tells who he's going to be sent the list of questions the malaysian police will ask to say via when they interview him in prison call or pretty sure the civil case channels of human will. usually deny. it he can see retreat there on the gesture it's pretty balanced on defense force and i detest sure you can see the access he has to prison because paul is going to be sent to a few days before this interview with the malaysian police to prepare him he then tells laura that her husband must stick to the story they have been telling credible trying to for the military and outlets are fortresses if you. finally eighteen months after his arrest xavier was released not because of petro saudi but rather a royal amnesty from the time i keep. your free money expert from the country because as a free man. there may be other feeling to think here and it was not pretty. with free or they're pretty it's amazing really the lives finished and we started. the fight for the troops. so it was and of a chapter a very bad one. and it was the beginning of a new war. as xaverian lura rebuild their lives at least six countries around the world are investigating one m.t.b. linked to corruption and charges are being laid. to unnamed petro saudi officials are under investigation in switzerland for fraud money laundering and bribery of foreign officials. to recode breda and the so-called paul scott whose real name is paul finnegan didn't respond to the allegations put forward by one or one east through his lawyers patrick mahoney denies all allegations made against him and any wrongdoing. neither petro salaries headquarters nor former cole or owner prince turki responded to our attempts to contact them. through his media adviser joe no declined to be interviewed i do think they regret they know there are on the najib regime this clip at the government as being expert. everything's thanks to the. recently xavier received two million dollars from the malaysian media conglomerate but one wonders if the petro saudi direct is had paid say via the money he says he was on whether the rules biggest heist would have been exposed i don't know that's that's a beautiful question if i want to. tell you of course i would have given that that. i thought you can go back in history. breaking stories. as we. focus on how. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together. business

not being transparent when it comes to the investigation into the murder of journalists. ankara says its findings are in line with the u.n. human rights envoy investigating the case special offer to agnes call maher says. that was a brutal premeditated killing planned and perpetuated by saudi officials she's been on a week long mission to turkey to examine evidence now all this says that report and the new york times says that saudi crown prince threatened to go after and two thousand and seven or to this report mohamed bin solomon told an aide that he would use a bullet against the journalist if he did not return home and his criticism of the kingdom the conversation was intercepted by u.s. intelligence agencies which he was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul in october of last year stephanie decker joins us live from istanbul so stephanie there is a lot of. moving parts here that all seem to be lining up as more information comes out about what happened to. well the preliminary statement from this. does as you mentioned there are point the finger of blame firmly into the hands of saudi officials in her words premeditated planned and executed by saudi officials in terms of more clarity i'm not sure if she got that yes she was given access to a part of the wood or recordings that turkey's intelligence services have that of course alleged to have recorded that killing she says it was gruesome but she couldn't independently verify if they didn't think she was handed a copy also turkey to further allow access to things like forensic scientific

potentially that will need security council approval and there will be countries that veto that because of course their relations with saudi arabia very important to many countries involved and i think that's also why it's been so complicated to really move on any form of serzh as to what happened and who ordered the killing. stephanie decker live for us in istanbul stephanie thank you.

us now from the moroccan capital about thank you very much for your time so what do you make of what morocco has done pulling back well first of all the morocco considers that the war on yemen was useless was very bad it has created. problems in yemen it has destroyed the economy it has a high casualty among the population especially the children that's why it has left of this coalition and the now it seems that morocco and saudi arabia have a. diplomatic problem in the sense that morocco has recalled its ambassador simply because recently the alarabiya has air or the program which is properly sorry you about the size of the more arkansas america considers that the conflict or the solder issue is a red line so that is why it is really recall in its ambassador and i think the
