a naturalized australian citizen but police say he was working here as a loyal agent for north korea trying to earn money for the regime by selling missile components weapons expertise i'm told on the heart of the regime that's what activity breaks united nations sanctions under strain sanctions it also breaks australian law will specifically designed to prohibit the development or production of weapons of mass destruction is the first person ever to be charged under a lot of the weapons of mass destruction act passed by the parliament here back in one thousand nine hundred five. will be alleging in court this man was brokering the silence missile component three and typical expertise from north korea to other international into teaching. we believe this may be too surprising discussions about the siloed missile components reached from north korea to other entities abroad as another attempt to try and rise revenue for the government in north korea we don't know much about those other entities except that at least some of them are

we're not sure where the nuclear components are going if you're going to put sanctions on a country like north korea or any any country they'll do what they can to sell what they have and what north korea does have with the courtesy of technology already bought from pakistan and other countries is missile technology and nuclear technology now if there's a market out there for this material and these technologies they're going to sell it so i think in a sense you could say a desperate country is going to look wherever it can to sell what it can and i don't think we should be tough to moralistic about this because the largest weapons trader in the world as we know is the united states. followed closely by russia and britain the french of those doing the same thing the not selling nuclear technology is such about you know i think we have to be very careful about not imposing too strict a double standard on what the north koreans a trying to do saying with north korea and thousands of people are marking the

it is actually. we can begin to believe that the courts. some believe he has eroded the a.n.c. he's all for it. under president zuma the party has lost considerable support he's no stranger to legal action himself he's fighting an ongoing battle to keep hundreds of corruption charges at bay this race is as much about the old leader as it is about the new if the president's preferred candidate isolated she may be able to protect him from legal action and his post-presidential years but if i wyvil is selected they may be less inclined to help so there is a lot of stake for jacob zuma one commentator said president zuma is legacy is a damaged a.n.c. possibly he might be the worst president has ever had.

applied to the boom and bikes are now banned traffic jams and pollution reports. vietnam's road to economic success is becoming cloaked one of the costs of the communist governments embrace of capitalism is traffic congestion. narrow streets of hanoi can't cope with the influx of cars and motorbikes so government leaders in the capital have decided that after a gradual phase out motorbikes will be completely banned from the city center by two thousand and thirty. it'll be a major change for vietnamese so reliant on to will transport our culture i said i think it's kind of an convenient. yeah they've let us make. it. in vietnam using metal bikes it's like a tradition for people but i think traffic is getting worse so if the government does this i think you'll be good to reduce traffic jams. even some who have

benefited from the motorbike boom think it change won't be so bad. the number of bucks coming here to be repaired it may go down but it won't affect me too much because maybe i can focus on quality rather than quantity. as recently as the late ninety's the roads were significantly quieter more people rode pushbikes which is something today's government also wants to revive and this is a big part of the motivation a construction boom combined with the increase in vehicles has resulted in falling a quality the fact the government is even considering this law is perhaps a sign that vietnam is becoming a victim of its own success it has one of the best performing economies in the world and while there are still big problems with poverty wages are rising and with that comes an increase in purchasing power. but not everyone can afford a car and if they could in the congestion and pollution problems would get a lot worse so if the government's plan is to work public transport will need to

play a big part but construction of a rail network in the capital has ground to a halt because of funding problems experts say all forms of public transport will have to be overhauled. the government needs to prepare to guarantee the policy can be implemented for example the public bus system needs to be improved to meet increased demand before the new law can be introduced city leaders in hanoi have already done the easy part by passing the law now the hard work begins to try to put it in practice and free up the city streets wayne hay al-jazeera hanoi. a second christmas to leverage it's on its way to the international space station. the engine start to roar. and lift all three crewmembers blasted off from kazakhstan on the fourth and final manned launch of this year they're following an unmanned cargo capsule which was sent into orbit on saturday both are due to talk
