So we begin with the undercover al jazeera investigation which has led cyprus to suspend its controversial citizenship for Investment Program the attorney general is also. To probe into possible criminal offenses following the revelations back in august down to serious Investigative Unit released the cyprus papers which revealed serious flaws in the citizen by Investment Program expose high ranking officials expressing a willingness to help convicted criminals obtain e. U. Citizenship here is more from our Investigative ReporterDavid Harrison whos in nicosia weve had 3 announcements on the abolition of the Investment Program under which people could buy passports if they paid a certain amount of money in which our investigation revealed evidence of that was being abused the 2nd one was the president of the pall of demitra saloon is who was one of the people implicated in the scheme in our investigation hes announced hes stepping down until an investigation launched by the government is complete hell step down from next week under their demands and so on the 3rd announcement is that Christakis Giovanni an m. P. Dont position m. P. On the owner of the giovanni Property Group who was also exposed in our. Documentary is someone who is willing to help a criminal by a passport hes resigned as an m. P. Under resigned all his party rolls what theyre saying they said it was the current scheme is being abolished now that of course doesnt mean that there may be it may not be reborn in another form that we have to see wait and see what we do know is that they do have some previous to that in the cypriot government of weakening and tweaking tweaking tweaking the scheme it stronger toughening up the regulations only to soften them later so that is really one for the future obviously well be watching that very closely as will the cypriot people who have been venting their fury on social media at the corruption that we exposed. So there is more in line of course when it comes to the cyprus pipe is a podcast for starters which you can find it on to see what a concert podcast slash aljazeera investigates or just pop it in the search bar also there is the full program the cyprus papers under cover the next screening of that is at a 100 hours g. M. T. Just take my word for it but there it is a little under 10 hours from now will have its next screening were moving on to other news now guns abortion money and politics all of that featuring on day 2 of the confirmation hearing of u. S. Supreme Court Nominee amy carney parents republican and Democratic Senators each have 30 minutes to ask him questions which are real touch points to Many Americans as we approach particularly this president ial election on november 3rd so its ongoing at the moment so were going to talk to our correspondent more in a moment but 1st lets have a listen to what amy county barrett said earlier she was questioned by Dianne Feinstein who is the most senior democrat on the Senate Judiciary committee this was on the issue of abortion is a contentious issue which is a no one reason why it would be comforting to you to have an answer but i cant express views on cases or precommit to approaching a case any particular way well that makes it difficult for me and i think for other women also on this committee because this is a very important case and it affects a lot of people millions and millions of women and you could be a very important vote. Helen fisher is on capitol hill covering this one for us today hi allan interesting to watch that exchange because Dianne Feinstein putting the pressure on amy in contrast to say Lindsey Graham who we saw earlier who was well through lobbying a few softballs here we say. Well certainly this hasnt been nearly as contentious as the brick oven our hearings which you remember happened 2 years ago at that point he was accused of sexually assaulting someone at a teenage party it got very very angry indeed there were very bitter exchanges break covena approached it in a very combative style this is much more laid but much more respectful people would say but still the democrats are trying to to make significant points theyre asking him equally how shes likely to rule on very important cases touched on cases here in the United States such as money in politics on abortion on obamacare and obamacare is important well come back to that in a 2nd but she continues to say lou that she will not make any statement about something that could come in front of her if she were confirmed to the court and she continues to insist she didnt make a deal with the president the democrats keep saying look he said that he wanted to make sure there were 9 justices on the court to ensure that if that election went there to be decided he would have a majority she said no deals have been done she wouldnt make a deal with the Senate Committee either to ensure her nomination be confirmed shes saying that she will be someone whos independent on the judiciary why is about constantly being referenced and youll hear a number of democrats bringing up stories about their constituents who are doing much better under obamacare that is because one week after the election there is going to be a case in the Supreme Court which will decide whether or not shouldnt Companies Still must provide coverage for those with preexisting conditions there is a concern that given that the trumpet ministration is signed up to try and screw. That lead that part of the legislation that if the Supreme Court votes against obamacare goes away for millions and millions of americans and so that is why theyre putting this front and center they understand that they might not change votes on the committee but they want the American Public to be concerned the vote its a political ploy but its also hoping to put pressure on republican senators who might be sweating about whether or not to alan a quick word on amy honey bear herself whether you agree or disagree with her policies she appears to be very composed very well prepared for this hearing. What is interesting is just in the last few minutes john cornyn who is a senator from texas he said look many people when they come here have notebooks of books that they can refer to can you sure what youve been working with and she held up a piece of paper which is given to people who go into these halls with us tonight it States Senate on top of a new note so she has been speaking for just over 2 hours talking about case precedent she would interpret the law giving some examples as well and doing it all with notes he said that is very impressive john cornyn also made the point that look people arent complaining about your ability your academic credentials your experience he said i think everyone would agree that youre qualified for the Supreme Court this is become a political battle and to a degree hes right because the democrats dont believe that this should begin to push through so close to an election that it should be left for the next president and what were going to see is perhaps the 2nd most partisan election of the Supreme Court justice in history covered up being the 1st and this is going to divide almost exactly along party lines both in committee if the democrats turn up and if and when it goes to the senate as well a little after 11 am in washington that hearing continuing on capitol hill thanks to the show. Were almost 10 minutes past the hour here is whats coming up the Opposition LeaderAnwar Ibrahim pushes his case for becoming the new Prime Minister of malaysia. Putting on a show of strength a report from libya with the internationally recognized government is stepping up the fight against armed groups and support the newly crowned. N. B. A. Champions there they are. Back on details with son of a little later. On to other news e. U. Countries are coordinating Coronavirus Travel restrictions theyve agreed not to restrict people from traveling between socalled green states countries will be assigned traffic light colors based on the latest testing numbers up until now the well basically been making up their own rules creation complicated patchwork of regulations were going to focus on the netherlands which is imposing new coronavirus restrictions after a wreck or daily increase in cases nearly 7400. 00 new infections announced on tuesday the netherlands now with one of the highest per capita infection rates worldwide the nation has until now largely avoided the strict nationwide lockdowns imposed in neighboring countries earlier this year stepped fastens in amsterdam for us talk us through this one step is this these huge numbers now are they the result of of the netherlands not locking it down earlier. Yeah alarming numbers here and then add a length nearly 50000 in a weeks time thats double the number of the previous week and as you say more than the 7000 just today and that means that this reality is only very slowly taking in the sinking in here in the netherlands so people have been reluctant to follow the rules and also the government has been accused of being far too lenient inconsistent unclear the measures were all very voluntarily the government called it an intelligent lockdown basically urging the people just to take responsibility themselves for keeping to distance and following the rules and that obviously didnt happen and also didnt work so now than the last couple of weeks its especially hospitals doctors who are ringing alarm bell saying theyre running out of capacity theyre struggling the netherlands has a very limited number of i. C. U. Baths around 1400 and with this rapid increase of patients that number is going to be reached very quickly i believe step the Prime Minister is going to speaking later on this tuesday is the expectation that he will announce something stronger some sort of stronger measures. Well thats what a lot of people are hoping but what we know so far there have been some some linkages from what he is going to say its called a sort of a light lockdown so not an intelligent lockdown but a lockdown lights and that means that theyre going to be closures of bars restaurants sports clubs theaters and all that kind of thing and also. Not to use public transport if you dont need to but lots missing again is theres not going to be any mandatory rules for wearing face masks for example and that madelines has an exceptional stance in this whole area because neighboring countries have been using facemask for a long time already and in that the government has so far always said that they dont work doesnt help to protect you against a virus and only last week the Prime Minister said well now i strongly advise people to wear them and its so confusing that most people still dont wear them but again it wont be mandatory also as far as we know announced tonight in this press conference on this wondering is it going to be enough or is it going to be too little too late ok well talk again later and hopefully when we get some more information out of the netherlands bronsons in amsterdam.

Government leaders in argentina facing increasing criticism of their handling of the coronavirus pandemic that the latest economic crisis means millions are struggling to make ends meet their anger compounded by attempts to reform the judiciary which critics say is aimed at protecting politicians from accountability too as about reports on the latest antigovernment rally and. The National Anthem echoing on the street outside the president s home. Thousands of people came out to protest against the handling of the economy epidemic and attempts to reform the judiciary. Hes tired of seeing argentina fail over and over again very much for the muslim said we have a beautiful country with full climates we can feed millions of people but we cant do it what is wrong with us my parents came as immigrants from italy and they helped build this country has been destroyed in the last 50 years every day we pay more taxes and more people live.

There is no trust and there is no physical panic and thats a negative cocktail that explains why stocks are down economy showing no Central Recovery there is a lot of mistrust. I didnt tina is deeply polarized between supporters of the ruling Peronist Party and those who oppose it. A division that has cost so much damage in the past. Only political dialogue will allow the country to move forward but for now there are a few signs of that happening. One of. Our popular indian Jewelry Company has withdrawn an advertisement showcasing an interfaith marriage after a right wing backlash on social media. You know. The ad is from. Jewellers it shows a pregnant hindu the woman receiving gifts from her muslim inlaws the bands latest campaign was called the beauty of this opponents though say the ad promotes something called love jihad a term used by some hindu groups who accuse muslim men of converting hindu women through marriage we have to see it with us now a writer who produced a documentary for aljazeera called in search of indias soul also the author of the twice sporting life and death on the ganges with us from new york in a really appreciate your time today because this is a very interesting story 1st of all when we say right when backlash on social media it must have been pretty big if they pulled the ad. Well absolutely and imo the and his cohorts and the kind of right wing should have what they call the i. C. C. Now in the tradition and its very powerful so i myself have been the victim of this kind of backlash and it basically means hours and hours of trolling the internet vandalizing and other kind of pressure thats really really very hard to stand up to and its very coordinated its not these are not individuals responding this is almost a state machinery. My initial thought when looking at this ad and then they have the whole story behind it is to say whats the problem here now that its an outsider looking in i dont think but but but clearly the press the problem is sheer general musing the word problem loosely there the the way an interfaith marriage is viewed i mean it clearly provides a lot of reaction. What you see this used to be almost like a cliche of the old and i mean this was what hollywood dealt then and thats what advertising does and it was something that was seen as just absolutely an unassailable cliche about racial religious amani and its a testament to how much india has changed then something as unobjectionable and frankly banal as this could become like a lightning rod for a list and go and its because the atmosphere has really been poisoned i mean you know good if not whos the chief minister of indias largest state has been leading this kind of Delusional Campaign against not just a party and by numbers muslim men not coming to see the way to women and of course this hakan back to some of the sort of historical pain or the sort of his historical tension of the atomic invasions and then death and of muslim invaders coming and feeling most and in the women too its like touch is a very deep activist think no and of course its been repulsed but for this modern politics do you think the company punished to buckle too quickly on this one. I thought too quickly too quickly you know bollywood has been under this kind of assault and the problem is that if you think you can make some concessions its going to be an absolutely wrong because they want frankly would bollywood which has always been the place where hindus and muslims have worked together into most a marriage happens a lot the religion the films do you in the kind of thing we see the advertisement deal and. They want to really make bollywood because as long as there are a powerful muslim figures in the public sphere people like charles kahn and i met on the b j p and the r. S. S. This program of basically purifying indian public life of of a mixed community is of muslims that doesnt walk so if you buckle you but you basically give them ground and you will eventually be completely destroyed by these people whereas if you stand up to them you have a fighting chance. Its a simple to say that if the big he was in power that this problem wouldnt be among us i wouldnt be there but that it wouldnt be as bad. Every country is full of racial religious ethnic tension like no country is going to deal with all its problems and all of the visions right down there but civility and the aspiration that people like get on together. That an ad like this become some kind of reality that means a lot i mean it doesnt mean that just because a country that has a lot of deeply religious simmering tensions that we have to kind of expect that the worst of human nature should be brought out and this government has definitely dealt in stalking these tensions and pushing that right from the highest level the power even in a situation like this the Prime Minister who very voluble could so easily say this is a wonderful ad and its a travesty that comes out but even very strategic in the use of his silence and his looks absolutely but were in kind of attacking the sort of ideal represented in this kind of a but such an interesting story isnt attend as here im glad we could talk to you about it thank you for joining us thank you good to speak to you. The United Nations says it considers president. Jim because of the legitimate and leader of kurdistan he says he will resign following days of protests against the results of this months parliamentary election which many say was rigged young people have joined calls for reforms to the entire political system his child strafford reports from the capital bishkek. The just coffee cafe is a popular hangout for students artists and intellectuals in the cuticles capital. Side we meet i had a l misbah call them she took part in the protests after the october the 4th parliamentary election the one politician cooled the dirtiest in kyrgyzstans history. Our 1st demand was for a rerun of the election thats all we wanted we had huge hope on the 1st day of protests its so sad how that day ended i feel like i was used. Thousands of people protested in the main square before Security Forces moved in tear gas and stun grenades hundreds of people were injured and one person was killed the next morning protests this its taken control of this building where paul and convenes they freed Political Prisoners from jail later on the Central Election Commission declared the results of the poll nolen void and save the must be a rerun later a man who only days before would be serving on 11 year jail term for kidnapping was made the countrys Prime Minister in a parliamentary session that many say was unconstitutional and makes a mockery of the rule of law the streets until its a calm in the old some sunshine but theres a growing fear that kyrgyzstans french will democracy which people have worked hard to build into revolutions since independence of the breakup of the soviet union is under threat. Every aspect of our life depends on politicians and the decisions of politicians make i think its the duty of every young adequate person to participate in political movements and express their civil rights its very important for this post soviet generation to realise that politics defines our quality of life. Not far from the cafe members of the recently established reform party are discussing strategy for the promised rerun of the plan the entry poll reform was set up with money raised in an internet Crowdfunding Campaign 3 months ago. Party candidates got around 35000. 00 votes in the election which would not have been enough for a seat in parliament and they say the established politicians have been corrupted by local criminal networks and or intimidated by a russia under Vladimir Putin who fears Democratic Change in the post soviet states if you know the whole television in. Part by Russian Television and people are brainwashed by you if we. Explain their feelings of people. In one word its. So they dont want to see all the faces they dont want to see an old political eye to leaders young cuties hope the promised rerun of the election happens and hes clean. But they fear the dirty tricks of being played in a strategic game again John Strafford al jazeera.

Constantino tesser in runs a large for tourists who come to see the wildlife he says some of the Forests Protection has been removed by a regular Court Rulings hes campaigned against it it is a very uncommon and probably no worse in the world but we can see a government telling us that you know writing and then going to go to this is a 3rd. And thats why people have come to invest and following the death but that there are sort of sousas to exist without an explanation. The campaigners say part of the forest has been given to a Company Called hoya sugar sugar says its using only privately owned grassland next to the forest Sustainable Development and the mental projection cant quit says that were going.
