News. Many thanks for the latest hello and welcome to News Day Laurent in China with you this morning now we're going to head to Malaysia in just a moment where the former prime minister's spent the night in custody now being charged with criminal breach of trust and abuse of power and we'll have more on the standoff in Poland between the judiciary and the government the Chief Justice has decided to turn up for work we'll have more from our correspondent from outside the Supreme Court that's a sports coming your way for meth he can and our correspondents here in spirit and Russia was watching the England Colombia game. Not all the accusations against me are true so said the former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak who spent the night in custody before then being charged in court with criminal breach of trust and abuse of power until weeks ago and was running the country until the stunning victory by the opposition in the latest elections which focused on missing money at a state fund called $1.00 m. D. Up to $4500000000.00 are unaccounted for and the fund is under investigation in at least 6 countries Mr Naji pleaded not guilty and said the unexplained millions found in his bank accounts were in fact gifts from the Saudi Arabian government it's a case that has transfixed the country Melissa a journalist as Lee has been following events. was 'd filled with people from like early. In the morning it was filled with like over 802200 media personnel there were supporters there were not just supporters. Well and they were seeing saws and saying that this is a politically motivated. That charge and eventually not it was brought in in a in a convoy of cars and he was produced in court he was produced in sessions court and the Attorney General Thomas eventually said that this case to be put in the high court it was immediately transferred to the High Court and that was when his charges were read out to him and put he was being touched for charges of it was criminal beach of stress as we all know and one was for personal and family to the kitchen and he has pleaded not guilty to all 4 charges that is what you know about the case right now now where he was in detention overnight having been asked to come in for questioning has he been released on bail What's his situation you've mentioned that legally the case now has to go to a higher court what of the man himself he is still under detention the attorney general has requested that bill be set for $1000000.00 ringgit for each charge so that comes up to about $4000000.00 ringgit his defense team right now. You bring the build out to about $500000.00 ringgit the even offer to put in his current residence his house as collateral for the bill but it's been rejected by the attorney general so we're still waiting on the results of the bill so so for now Bill has not officially been set and we don't know if he's going to be released yet right Ok so that's the next immediate station in the background there have been these dramatic raids and the seizures of goods and assets which have been recovered obviously he continues insisting his innocence of all charges of embezzlement and corruption how is this playing out in the papers because of course not long ago Mr Knight Jeep basically he was you know he was the man in power the papers didn't wish to offend him cartoonists did their best but they were under pressure as well how is it being reported so soon after his fall from power as soon as the general election results came. Out and we knew that there was a new administration taking over the government in Malaysia and that not Jeep and his administration in his fight these no longer in power or the media felt like a see if you know something had been lifted and they start reporting about the case people immediately the new administration as promising them any Festool stuff that you are they really like that the investigations because under an audience I mean efficient yet the new general then gets it all wrong doings and that investigations were all called off and nothing was wrong even though several other countries were still conducting investigations so with the new administration and a new attorney general investigations kicked off again and I think the authorities they played it quite publicly and all dates were announced to the media all confiscation of the t.v. And cash were done in full view of the media the media were invited to take 4 tours . To videotape it and to observe everything so it has been kind of free reign on the reporting of the one in the prop right now in Malaysia and everybody has seen it happening so clearly and sort of use the and of course the amount of items seized and the amount of cash has been so tremendous and absurd if I can say for the Malaysian public and yeah and that's how people have been looking at it not as Lee from Kuala Lumpur. To Poland now on in defiance of the government sponsored legislation the country's top judge Margo's good stuff has turned up for work today she's refusing to accept a new law that requires judges to retire at the age of 65 instead of 70 the B.B.C.'s anomie says outside the court and joins us now Adam did miscarry self say anything when she turned up. Yes she did she did there was a crowd of hundreds of people who were outside gathered outside the Supreme Court entrance waiting for her to come to turn up for work and show their support for her and she she thanked them before she went in she thanked them and she she reminded them that the const The Polish Constitution. Guarantees a 6 year mandate which is not due to expire of course until April 2020 and that's why she regards the new law as it illegal and that she doesn't have to abide by those provisions into the new law and she has gone into to her office now and is attending work as normal it was a quite a a loud noisy crowd and show of support for her there were people banging drums there were waving flags not just of the red and white of Poland but the European flags and many people were actually holding up copies of the Polish Constitution and signs which said Constitution in Poland which. You know they said they they they believe that this current law by the governing law and just as party flouts the Constitution as does some many of the laws that have been passed by the the governing law and Justice Party in the last 2 years which is allowed to take control not just of the Supreme Court but of the Constitutional Court before it of the body that actually nominates judges in Poland and ordinary courts there are more than 20 percent of the heads and deputies of ordinary courts have been changed and replaced by by judges nominated by the government and I'm of course a very symbolic move from it's good stuff to show up in defiance of the law but what happens next because she shows up at work I presume she wants to continue to show up to work but the government presumably is not going to go what happens if she continues her job within the government I don't know they hire someone else what happens legally then. Well we guess we have got a process over the next month where the president of the country will try and go about appointing new judges to replace those that have been retired that's almost 40 percent of Supreme Court judges but what we're heading for potentially is legal chaos because if Mark goes out to the chief justice as he continues to dispute continues to go into office claiming that she is the justifiable the rightful chief justice then we'll also have the competing all forty's which have been appointed by the president so this is going to cause legal uncertainty and a certain amount of chaos are we expecting more protests today. The protest outside the court is now just dispersing and actually the organizers a vast people to go outside now of the presidential palace and to show there are there there there did this pleasure to president due to who as he said yesterday said that the chief justice is officially retired as of today and he's appointed a replacement for her and many thanks to B.B.C.'s Alan Eastern from outside the court in Warsaw and according to Reuters News Agency the Polish prime minister has said every e.u. Country has the right to shape its you disagree according to its own traditions hitting back their European European Union concerns about those moves between the politicians and the judges in Poland it's quarter past the hour now let's talk about that good news story from Thailand the 12 footballing youngsters and their coach in a cave they've been traps now for 11 days but at least we know that they're Ok a video has surfaced more video of the boys waving introducing themselves to the videos thought they might need months of training by Specialist divers before they can make their way out particularly as the monsoon season is taking hold in Thailand falling water falling rain means rising waters the interior minister says the evacuation must speed up before more rain falls we are asked to pop on the Olympic pun and social media editor of the B.B.C.'s Thai service in Bangkok to have a look through how it's being reflected in the media. The less this new thought as we've just learned just now is that it would be very unlikely that the big boys will come out today that's just confirmed only official says I mean just 2 hours ago Ali because they don't think it's there ready and there would be more more for them to get out and run out. Just like you said what a logo itself and so on. And there kids now have to dive in the cave and that's not something that they thing is they're ready to do that today the video that has come out we want to talk about the papers as well but it's almost kind of like knocked down by the fantastic video I mean the rescuers they not only if they conducted an extraordinary complicated operation they are very very careful and they to release video and the pictures of all the lads sitting there wrapped up in their space blankets are just fantastic how how is the information getting out how is it being consumed in Thailand it's everywhere everyone is watching it this morning and you know it's a great video just to lift a mortar as well and. You know people were speculating how did it get out of there and you know just seeing that boy saying hi to the camera introducing themselves no they got to say yeah yeah yeah they did that and even at the last boy said well wait a minute I didn't get to interview. So that they hadn't lifted the mood so yeah and this is amazing if their video was posted on Facebook about it. And that's how people got to see it they're doing a great job with that how are people writing about it because it is been such an emotional roller coaster and it's such a fantastic story it almost I don't know I mean I hesitate to say it's almost a religious thing but you know we saw so many religious groups and religious leaders at the mouth of the cave praying for them how is it interpreted is this just lucky chance is it fate is it something more how did ties see it. Well people hardit I mean things like people you know whoa whoa you know some people are saying that it was a really just it's almost like we just want to work up just late Monday night so yeah you can see it pictures on social media people posting you know people praying for the kids and everything so it's definitely Hewitt's in a lot of the moment people are saying different sort of things about it but most of them positive and if everyone if they're all for it they get the kids also and good news from to poll punya limpet and we were hearing from a man who Johnson at the mouth of the cave who says that for the next few days at least the forecast the b.b.c. Forecasts for the area is better but rain comes later and that's basically going to determine what the rescue plan and being that of course is one of our headlines yet to be see news or other headlines the former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has appeared in court to deny corruption charges weeks after he was voted out of office and Poland's chief justice has turned up for work as usual in the find of a new law that requires her to retire you're listening to news day sports news McKinney and talk about the football in a moment 1st his nap take on the tennis today at Wimbledon 2nd round action for Roger Federer against Newcastle aka Serena Williams is up against Victoria Tom of I we also have Caroline Wozniacki Marion church Kevin Anderson and Venus Williams in action yesterday Maria share a prover and dominant team Petrak fits over another all went out in the 1st round but defending women's champion got Binya Mugari thought Well number one Simona Halep Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal all went through Nadal 2nd seed behind Federer of course and he went past duty center of Israel in straight sets but he was aware it wasn't his smooth this performance at Wimbledon right how is the play here in Wimbledon and especially in this center court so just happy to be through of course to be the 1st might have been.
