Whats going on inside this regional russian hospital is only slightly clearer than whats going on inside the body of its most famous patient with a plane waiting in to take it unconscious alexina valmy to germany doctors spent most of the day saying he was too sick to move then late on friday the change of position was just to show my.

Mexicos president and the rest Manuel Lopez Obrador swept to power in 2018 after promising to wipe out corruption but that was own brother has been implicated in the scandal after footage appeared to show him accepting cash the president insists his brother is innocent but is still called for an investigation as John Heilemann reports from mexico city. It was eclipse because this is the brother of mexicos president receiving an envelope stuffed with cash in a restaurant money putatively donated 20. 00 his money. Political movement before he was elected people thought it was a good 26000. 00 here. Its caused controversy president will. Run the promise to wipe out corruption. Just to be clear this video doesnt prove that anything illegal happened but it does raise serious questions for example who was this money declared d to mexicos electoral authorities and most importantly where did it come from if this was public money from any area of government that this is illegal. Silat ima latinos the Media Outlets that published the videos claims that ive read lay on the man handing over the envelope mentions the government of chapel although that audio is not included the idea is to support thats the goal for the. President Lopez Obrador said he didnt know about the money that it could have been lots of small donations that lay on had collected though. I can tell you that the people supported me i had a bank account where they deposit money to keep the party going and thats where i got my salary that happened 4 years in the. Context is important here the videos come out just as Lopez Obrador as attorney general is investigating a Corruption Case that could implicate 3 of the president s predecessors. Videos been leaked of alleged bribes there too and the president s critics say hes using the case for political gain not just this in turn he claims this new video is there retaliation it proposes game is this could damage the government it does seem like a war of corruption videos a marker for nand this part of a government watchdog says is only going to be won in past on fortunately the sick change of b. D. S. I mean is very likely that is going to reflect in a lower trust of citizens to work institutions their ocean of these institutions lower confidence in the market and greater satisfaction and mousy distance. And that loss of public trust is only likely to deepen is the politicians fight it out on social media john homan how does it or mexico city role but it is not as a Political Writer and analyst also a professor at the National University of mexico who we spoke to he says the scandal is happening at a time when the president is trying to crack down on corruption more widely. The president is leaving a big question is can now against the 3 former president who have problems with corruption incite mexican always kompany premix and because of this and he is trying to show that hes a harness people hes prosecuting these bear stearns. Organized a big really big you shall investigation on that but right now he hes suffering the same i think who would be the really there mounties a few armont compared with the biggest they are mounted in the millions of us dollars compared with all these companies what is important to say that this is an electoral this candle now the use of money against the law it with electoral porpoises by looks ororke 5 years ago turkey has announced its biggest natural gas discovery a 320000000000 cubic meter field and in the black same turkey currently depends on imports for most of its energy needs and present reject typer one said he hopes to find more reserves in turkeys controversial explorations in the mediterranean well. Weve been making concerted efforts over the past years both exploration vessels will be doing the same in the Mediterranean Sea both vessels of chilled 9 worlds in both the black sea and the mediterranean by the grace of god we found this big discovery and im certain that we will have some of the good news from the mediterranean and our correspondents and im concerned who is in istanbul and says the government is really hoping this find could be a much needed boost to the economy. Size of the gas reserves found by that by turkey is of course very small compared to the energy giant countries like china or United States or russia but will it be a remedy for the ailing turkish economy thats the question and this is what the turkish government is very positive about turkeys and that Energy Imports are country for instance in 2900 took imported 45000000000 cubic meters of natural gas and it costs around 15000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars for turkey and it constitutes at least half of turkeys current account deficit so for a country like turkey totally dependent on Foreign Energy supplies even though its a short term gain its of course the size the scale of the. Resource is not enough to be a game changer but its going to provide tricky a lever it in the black sea also a legitimate station of Energy Exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean this is how the government sees and of course this is good news for the ruling party to consolidate its electorate given a fragile economic turbulence turkeys going through the World Health Organization chief says he hopes the world can end the Coronavirus Crisis in less than 2 years which will be faster than it took for the spanish flu even so this pandemic has to date killed nearly 800000 people infected close to 23000000 worldwide of course with more good news the virus has better chance of spreading it can move fast because we have more connected now. But at the same time we have also the technology to stop it and the knowledge to stop it so we have the disadvantage of globalization close in its connectedness burton advantage of bit of technology so we hope to finish this pandemic before.
