Well theyve given that the reason theyre given his longstanding story of abuse and concern over the Investment Program its been an incredibly fast moving morning here weve had 3 announcements warning 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 pollen to me this 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 under 3rd announcement is that Christakis Giovanni an m. P. You dont position m. P. On the owner of the vani Property Group who was also exposed. In our documentary is someone who was willing to help a criminal by a passport hes resigned as an m. P. Under resigned all his policy roles so what happens next will it be a Police Involvement in this criminal investigation well thats certainly not being ruled out at the moment what we do know is that this investigation has been launched the European Union has yet to announce the steps that its going to take if they deem any unnecessary now the scheme has been abolished and tomorrow evening 2 in a sign of how popular how much Popular Support there is for the decision to abolish the program and for aljazeera as revelations theres going to be a demonstration protesting against the corruption revealed in our documentary you say the scheme has been abolished the government just to clarify this has it gone completely or is the government just suspended it for the moment. Here is what they say they said it was the current scheme is being abolished now that of course doesnt mean that there may not be it may not be reborn in another form that we have to see how we can see what we do know is that they do have some previous that in the cypriot government of weakening and tweaking the scheme to get stronger toughening up the regulations only to soften them later so that is really one of the future obviously well be watching very closely as will the cypriot people who have been venting their fury on social media at the corruption that we exposed david many thanks indeed i was interested harrison reporting live from the case and you can find out more about our investigation on our podcast aljazeera dot com forward slash podcasts forward slash aljazeera investigates. Opposition leader and why bring him a spoken to the king as he again tries to form a new government says that hes had the Parliamentary Support to replace Prime Minister yes seen since last month who denali take charge took charge in march but only with a razor thin majority i would appeal to the good of millicents to access a. Patients wisdom. And. The king to death. And decide based on. The experience of the ship and the discretion of his highness. And we must also remember that i mean yes its lost. Its majority. And therefore. It would be appropriate for him to. Resign more from our series Florence Lowy and kuala lumpur. The Opposition Leader on my brain says that during his meeting with the king he presented the monarch with documents including statutory declarations and. Statements by Party Leaders to show that hes got the support of more than 120 members of parliament 112 is needed for a simple majority now and its not clear though that on or has been able to convince the king that he does indeed have support of the majority in parliament shortly after our last press conference the palace issued a statement to say that yes indeed the meeting took place and yes im well told the king that he has the support of the majority in parliament but on want to not give a king the king a list of the names of members of parliament who he says support him which would strengthen his claim now on the Prime Ministers party as osha has also issued a statement to say that on one has once again failed to prove his claim so this is the 1st hurdle for anwar its not clear that he has been successful then there is a 2nd hurdle the king has the discretion to dissolve parliament which would trigger snap elections if hes advised to do so by the sitting Prime Minister yes and now its not clear that this will go down well with malaysians considering that the country is now going through a 3rd wave of corona of the noble coronavirus and this has in part been blamed on state elections held in state now if and what is unsuccessful there is still another option for him he could propose a motion of no confidence when parliament sits again in november but whether or not that motion of no confidence is accepted is another matter. China has vowed to respond if the u. S. Goes ahead with planned arms sales to taiwan the u. S. Has been encouraging taiwan to modernize its military to resist threats from china the latest arms sale includes rocket launches missiles advanced sensors for fighter jets china regards taiwan as a breakaway province and hasnt ruled out using force to retake the island. China is firmly against it china is urging the us fully recognize the gravity of arms sales to taiwan abide by the principles enshrined in the 3 joint communique is immediately cancel any arms sales plan to taiwan and stop military contacts related to arm sales to taiwan china will take a legitimate and necessary response to any further arms sales to taiwan. To training you in beijing explains what china might be planning as its response. Now we dont know exactly how beijing plans to hit back judging from previous responses they may impose trade sanctions sanctions on the us in july it imposed sanctions on u. S. Weapons Company Lockheed Martin following the u. S. Governments decision to approve a 620000000. 00 arms sale to taiwan they may also increase military exercises and military drills close to taiwan which is exactly what they have been doing over the past few weeks intensifying land and sea drills close to the Taiwan Strait including flying chinese planes through taiwans Defense Identification Zone up until this weekend when taiwan was celebrating its national day nisa very much signals to to to taiwan a warning designed to intimidate taipei but what they didnt isnt likely to do at least at this stage is directly attack taiwan i think they jean has been very very aware that in the lead up to the u. S. Elections the Trump Administration may be trying to push beijing buttons when it comes to the taiwan issue and beijings leaders are really reluctant to make any firm moves until they see the results of the u. S. Election pending a possible leadership change and a possible change in approach and tauren from washington were going to weather up take backs here on our syrup that protests. Against the controversial war the critics say hard workers. Why what happened 528 years ago remains a source of our go to last americans today. Another contrast in east asia weather was are becoming a bit more apparent now as the season changes weve got wintry stuff it really is there to the north and we still got tropical storms going to the South China Sea now this is the 1st couple of days ago john which of course is the home of harbin where well see the ice festival in a couple of months time but its still 7 degrees dobbin the snow has gone further east and to be always for the most part in charge still relatively warm the cloud is thick enough to do so bit of rain in the central west and of course youve got nunc i think are interacting with hard data which by wednesday will be onshore in vietnam rain the main problem not wind is to get a few showers in japan particularly the same area that got hit by the heavy rain from the near typhoon a couple of days ago now further west same reason course those tropical storms in vietnam which is that the monsoon trough going south has just love for depression to come inland in india so in the middle of this part of india flood risk in turn down across towards go and further south the next 2 days will see particularly heavy rain certain floods probable landslides on area particularly maharastra which is still wet. Cyprus a european island opening offering citizenship to those who can afford it in august aljazeera made global headlines with the cyprus papers confidential documents that reveal a murky passport by Investment Scheme for his whole point is that. Now aljazeera as Investigative Unit goes undercover to expose further revelations that go to the heart of the cypriot state and his ear investigations the cyprus papers on the cover. Of the. Hello again this is al jazeera as for much of the main news this hour the cyprus government is suspending a controversial citizenship for Investment Program after an undercover investigation by aljazeera that exposed high ranking officials expressed a willingness to aid convicted criminals to obtain e. U. Citizenship. The laziest Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has met the king as he tries to form a new government he says that he has the Parliamentary Support needed to replace Prime Minister will he deemed that yes e. U. And u. S. President donald trump is back with the crowds trying to fire up a campaign that was interrupted by his covert 19 infection trump took to the stage without a mask to rally supporters in florida after the white house doctor confirmed that he tested negative. For 10000000 americans have already cast their ballots in early voting thats according to the u. S. Elections project of the university of florida in the state of georgia there were long lines some ways it up to 4 hours there were reports of some technical issues including glitches that slowed down voting at one site in atlanta in california a criminal investigation is underway after unauthorized ballot boxes began popping up around the state and we cant independently verify these images of what are being called fake drop off boxes but people online have been spotting them near churches and gun shops they look virtually the same as some official boxes the Republican Party has admitted to placing them in Los Angeles Fresno and orange countys california secretary of state says the boxes are illegal but the party is refusing to remove them scott lucas is a cofounder of america unfiltered a News Analysis site on american politics and Foreign Policy and he thinks because of these on all the rise boxes theres a real risk that peoples votes may not be counted. The sort of thing double transman talking about without any evidence is that democrats supposedly have been doing this for years in fact the reality is there been less than 1200. 00 fraudulent ballots to 40 years across all elections the republicans who put out that false charge are actually in danger of carrying out mail fraud ballot fraud because lets be very clear here these boxes according to the california state and the California Attorney general are not authorized they are not allowed under california provision for collection ballots and it does mean that ballots might not be delivered properly to the true election authorities the general thing that you hear from republicans such as donald trump is to try to suppress voting to say look dont bother voting with mail in balloting because its a fraudulent process and then if crump loses the election on november 3rd you try to take legal action to say well mail in ballot use not legitimate what you have here in california however is that they would like republicans in the state to win office they have a local contest to win so not only do they say well we need bail and palates for our people but they risk what is possible fraud to collect ballots and possibly not distribute them fairly and its not just happened in california because donald trump who said on the one hand dont allow mail in ballots and were guess what he told floridians go out and cast your mail in ballots as soon as possible for me both armenia and azerbaijan are accusing each other of violating a ceasefire that came into force on saturday is there a ministry of defense says that its soldiers have been attacked by Armenian Forces along the line of contact armenia says that azerbaijan has launched what it called a massive attack along the entire length of the from climb both sides are accusing each other of killing civilians in the flare up over the disputed the go no kind of back region that began last month how does the rest but it spent support stuff and go to us in armenia. When an armenian missile hit the apartment block where an urchin ali had lived there was supposed to be a ceasefire. Like this was another brick 9 people died in this attack on ganja on sunday azerbaijans 2nd largest city here they have no interest in a ceasefire you know. If you let me go to war mom im going im going that chanting turkey is giving azerbaijan its full support and its fight to reassert sovereignty over the Ethnic Armenian on plate of nagornokarabakh an adjacent land occupied by all means now the is area president wants turkey to be involved in talks to find a solution to the conflict but russia isnt interested. Also miss them saving it but theres less in use in the joint statement confirms the unchangeable nature of the negotiation process and its format minsk o. S. C. E.
