Waters end. And logging on to learn if you can afford it but most nigerian children are missing out as schools stay closed. His former Prime Minister najib razak has been sentenced to 12 use in jail after he was convicted of corruption the verdict was delivered in the 1st child linked to the one m. T. B. State Investment Fund scandal joining his time in power he was found guilty of all 7 charges and fined close to 50000000. 00 u. S. Dollars he continues to deny any wrongdoing and says he will appeal this is the 1st case centered on the transfer of nearly 10000000. 00 from a unit of one and d. B. Internet jeeves personal accounts is being convicted of abuse of power 3 counts of criminal breach of trust. And 3 counts of Money Laundering jihad launched one d. B. As a state Investment Fund when he was Prime Minister in 2009 ok lets go across to florence louie whos joining us live from kuala lumpur and just bring us up to date with whats been happening right so we know that the judge has sentenced to prison prison term as well as a fine of 210000000 ringgit now and what we know is also that the defense lawyers for a stay of execution of the sentence so theyre arguing that shouldnt go to prison immediately that he should be allowed to stay outside of prison be able to carry out his duties as a member of parliament until his appeal at the court of appeal has been hurt and this is a process that could take months years even and we dont yet know whether this edge this argument by the defense lawyers is going to be successful whether the judge is going to grant a stay of execution of the sentence or not but we do know that the prosecution has argued that granting a stay of such supplanting a stay is really the exception rather than the general rule. While youve been talking for months i just want to show people the live pictures from outside the court there which were seeing at the moment this is the press waiting because we understand that the Prime Minister may well be leaving from there the moment will this leave you make some sort of statement we will be taking it but at the moment were waiting to see whats whats happening those negotiations as youre talking about continuing between his lawyers which means that this is by no means over is it. No this is not over at all i mean you know theyre still in the peel pro says that knowledge of can take advantage of hes been found guilty of all 7 charges and you know hes been sentenced to 12 years in prison the judge has said these. His jail sentences are to run can concurrently and the maximum of those sentences is 12 years in prison but he still has an appeals process to the court of appeal and even that after that has been exhausted the verdict is not in his favor he can still appeal to the highest court in the land thats the federal court so this is a process that could take years and obviously not jeb and his lawyers want to ensure that if the he can still take take advantage of the appeals process then he doesnt want to be spending those years where hes appealing his verdict behind bars there is a political ramification to this isnt there because theres party is also a key part or has formed a key part of the Coalition Government in malaysia and therefore one wonders how much responsibility all rather how much power and control. Is going to be able to carry on. Until such times as this sentencing does come in because as you say there was an expectation of a hope at least by his defense that he would be allowed to carry on his parliamentary duties and so that decision was finally made. Absolutely you know not trip is no longer the leader of the United Malays National organization thats no thats the biggest block in the Ruling Alliance but he still has and he still enjoys very Strong Political support within the party and also outside of the party we saw how high Ranking Party officials including the president what court today to show their support for browser and this is a party that the Current Administration relies on to keep the really thin parliamentary majority now and. There isnt get a sense of how upset the party is about this decision whether or not its going to put pressure on the Ruling Administration to go for snap elections but on the other hand some analysts say about this conviction on tuesday will provide a lot of credibility to the Prime Minister since administration and this is important because in the last several weeks last several months weve seen people have expressed dismay and disappointment at how high profile Corruption Cases seem to have gone away there by the princess or the charges have been dropped and one of those cases involves not stepson and other cases involved a political ally of not your browser so some analysts say the Prime Minister may still be able to gain some sort of political mileage out of this conviction thats flowing slowly bring us up to date from kuala lumpur were going to be of course keeping of course that situation outside the courtroom in kuala lumpur and we will be talking to florence in the event that theres something to report there but for now florence thank you very much indeed. Or china is suspending hong kongs extradition treaties with the u. K. Canada and australia its a reciprocal move after those 3 countries plus new zealand suspended their agreements with hong kong over the new security law there beijing says it reserves the right for further reaction in response to new zealands decision lets speak to stephen vines hes a China Affairs analyst and hes author of Hong Kong Chinas new colony we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed in political terms in a sense what does this mean in terms of reducing or removing this extradition agreement. Well this is very important i mean 1st of all this is say ssion of extradition agreements is is is rare secondly it goes to the very heart of hong kong as an International Business center traditionally hong kong has been regarded as the place you go to to sign a contract if you want to do business in china because its universally recognized as a place where the rule of law prevails where there is a form of law that is recognisable in the International Community now what american sorry whats australia or canada or the United Kingdom or more recently new zealand have done and he said we dont have confidence in your Justice System any longer and we are suspending our extradition agreements china has now responded and said your response youre removing your side of the extradition agreement were going to suspend all cooperation criminal matters with these other countries and theyre still in the talus theres a number of other countries in europe the United States who are also at the moment tropically contemplating ending their extradition agreements for growth as with so many things to do with hong kong and china and the rest of the world it does seem that hong kong is essentially suffering for us the real animosity if you like is between china and all the other players in the west why is it that for every action that appears to be taken by the west against china or vice versa it almost seems to be hong kong itself that suffering. Well i think that much of what you say i think the point is this whole culture has had over a year of protests in favor of greater democracy in protest against the growing intervention of the chinese our current hits in hong kong that was promised autonomy so hong kong became part of the story perhaps more parts of the story because of the increasingly bad relations that china now has with other countries around the world particularly the United States but in the case of hong cull the recent imposition of the National Security law by the chinese without consulting either the local authorities and how Congress Legislature or indeed any but it seems to have sent to the rest of the world you know we used to be dealing with whole culture as a rather distinctive part of china and now were saying i wonder whether that is so its called really as distinctive as we had been led to believe and in front of Congress Just another chinese city well it gets the same treatment as the rest of china. Really interesting to get your insight on this stephen vines we appreciate it thank you very much indeed.
