Mahathir had indeed tended allows letter of resignation to the king well there was no reason given for the resignation but weve since heard in the last couple of minutes the finance minister coming out and saying that mahathir attended his resignation because he did not want. You to not want the party to have to work with im not now im you know is the party that was in power in malaysia for decades it had ruled malaysia since the country gained independence from british in 1957 and it was only ousted in the last general election in 2018 its leader was its former leader was a former Prime Minister of this country not your brother whos been accused or whos been charged and is on trial for corruption hes been accused of stealing billions of dollars from a state Investment Fund now were not sure whether the king has accepted the Resignation Letter from my heart that mohamed but many constitutional experts say the king because his role is largely ceremonial he has no choice but to accept the resignation its also not clear whats going to happen next did mahathir asked the king to hold to dissolve parliament and announce fresh elections well we havent heard anything on that front yet but according to the constitution the person who is Prime Minister in in the late the person who will become Prime Minister and his country is someone who commands the confidence of parliament noun if all things had remained the same then this person could 10 could well have been on what it brought him but because not this party has left the Ruling Coalition and because some members of on was party have also either resigned or been sacked from the party on what its doubtful that anwar will have the numbers to actually back him to be the next Prime Minister of this country so its very unclear whats going to happen next we dont know who will be in charge of this country next who or who is going to form part or which parties are going to be part of the Ruling Coalition but many civil Rights Groups have already said that. If that governing coalition includes im know the party that was outed in the last election then this is clearly wrong its contrary to democratic principles and its not what people in malaysia had voted for back in 2008 ok one flew with the latest on Kuala Lumpur Florence thank you donald trump is in india on his 1st state visit to the country as president has met Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and about abiding his right state and addressed a crowd of about 100000 people at the largest cricket stadium in the world on strip is designed to go into business ties and trade but also his reelection chances by wooing 4 and a half 1000000 Indian American voters tomorrow our representatives will sign deals to sell over 3000000000. 00 in the absolute finest state of the art military helicopters and other equipage to the indian armed force.

Richelle it was a President Trump who heat a few sort of praise to this in front of the 110 or 20000 people in this crowd in gujarat preys on india on indians on Prime Minister in that in the more d. On how you know his humble backgrounds from a t. V. Bend to where hes at now when he. Everything from you know one of indias founders Mahatma Gandhi whose home he visited earlier was his 1st stop was to Mahatma Gandhis home Mahatma Gandhi is from good to right so was Prime Minister and then the more you saw the Something Like one 3rd of Indian Americans have connections to good rock he praised the bollywood Film Industry cricket stars but the biggest cheer was when he spoke about working with pakistan to fight what he called terrorism and that gives you an idea about the feeling here you know about indias rivals so that was what he spoke about as you heard on security on defense on the 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 worth of helicopters that india is going to. Buy from the u. S. Not a lot of talk about trade which is the biggest Sticking Point between these 2 countries they have huge differences when it comes to trade they were rounds of retaliatory tariffs on each other in 2018 and in fact theres been so little progress on that that the u. S. Trade representative robert light. Can see that what has trip ahead of President Trumps visit and donald trump did touch on that a little bit he said that they are going to sign the best trade deal ever they just havent got the get because you know Prime Minister modi is very tough so today was very much the big well for the u. S. President hes on his way from good to see the hollande he end up in the capital new delhi tonight and tomorrow is when the 2 leaders along. With President Trumps 12 member delegation including the common secretary National Security adviser will sit down and have those bilateral meetings on things like defend security and and trade lizzy if you study you know put a lot of praise out for Prime Minister newman in the interim odeon how much he personally liked him and how much the u. S. Liked him but theres been no mention made of the fact that for quite some time before he was Prime Minister he was not allowed in the u. S. Lets remind our viewers a little bit about that. You know thats right michel when Prime Minister that in the more you was chief minister of good your wrath state they were you know very early on in his chief minister ship they were dead leaves riots some of the worst communal riots in india since its independence from british rule 70 years ago where a 1000 people most of them muslims were killed and prominence in that in the more he was actually banned from entering the United States because the United States believed as many others that he tests at least supported those responsible for the mob violence prominence and that in the more he is from the ruling baath of the the party he the party are hindu nationalists and they has been real concern over the treatment of Indian Muslim since this Prime Minister and government have been and power in fact they have been protests for the past 2 months of the citizenship law which fast track citizenship to minorities from neighboring countries that excludes muslims theres been a lot of concern of that nor nationally and internationally and a u. S. Official said that this is something that President Trump would raise would the Prime Minister more on this visit but again given President Trumps history of the way of you know his stance on immigration on minorities or on the travel ban you know against muslim majority countries people are expecting President Trump to put a lot of pressure on Prime Minister modi over this all right Elizabeth Ron im with. Liz thank you. Israel in military is carried out air strikes in syria killing at least 2 members of the Palestinian ArmedGroup Islamic jihad and also bomb the gaza strip warning at least 4 people the army says the strikes from response to the group firing rockets into southern israel very fast as in wester us and says it is unusual for israel to admit targeting syria well certainly the strikes inside gaza are relatively standard for this kind of escalation the kind of which weve seen many times in the last couple of years certainly of rocket fire such as this is typically met with an israeli round of airstrikes inside gaza the Israeli Military saying dozens of targets belonging to palestinian Islamic Jihad have been hit also saying that they struck what they said was a rocket team in preparation potentially for a launch of the palace in Health Ministry inside gaza saying that a group of 4 people were injured by a drone strike and that among the injured were among the group were a man and his wife less typical is the strikes that these women choose also rarely admitting to having carried out inside syria it did however in november at a time when it assassinated a Rocket Team Commander inside gaza as well as trying to carry out a strike against a senior Islamic Jihad figure in damascus it said at that point there would be further strikes against Islamic Jihad leadership in in the syrian capital if rocket fire continued so the immediate thought for many was is this a sign that they were doing just that in response to this latest round of rocket fire so far the Israeli Military is just saying that it struck a site which its calling a hub for Islamic Jihad activity south of the syrian capital one used for weapons research.
