concern about china's theft of intellectual property here in the united states is one that has been vocalized by a number of u.s. presidential administrations way back to bill clinton but certainly this is the strongest action taken by this administration slapping tariffs on dozens of chinese imports into the united states apparel as well as targeting the high tech sector but there is concern here of democrats and some republicans that there could be a retaliatory effect china promising to put its own tariff side imports of american pork products as well as soybeans and that could hurt american farmers and that rural base that helped donald trump win the white house so certainly this is a risk risky political calculation for donald trump but one that he says he's moving forward with the tariffs have not been made public that is set to be made in the next couple of weeks the tariffs to take effect in roughly sixty days. which

a light on corruption sometimes take a spot just as pack and i think a nice has provided us back for their own edifice to blow up. an ass era mayor and nasa is gone as best. around but at least recognizable journalist. he's been undercover for nearly twenty years he never identifies himself on camera preferring to shoot his face wear wigs and hide under a hat two months ago new started to leak about his latest and most important investigations far. al-jazeera has been recalled in what happened. and this is targets with the judges and officials who run the country's courts from
11:08 pm
humble magistrates to powerful high court justices. he set out to show that justice was for sale but even he was surprised at how deep the apparent corruption went and how hard it would be to expose which. it's early september and unless is brief in an old friend who runs a gun a newspaper group. at the end of the investigation. we've got thirty four judges. thirty four s. and one hundred l. forty six to the shuster thirty four only that is that. and as sad as it is that some of the judges. i did as who called in as i esteem. for example jet at nasa.
11:09 pm
it. is caught on tape taking bribes coups so you can imagine that implications are huge for the country was a gentler sam is one of gone as most senior judges sitting in the high court and dealing with the most important cases. when an ass is on the cover team came across him he was trying for men. they were accused of stealing over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from goners national oil company. to get access to a judge like this they first had to winnow rees clark in this case a man called gabriel. played the middleman. he would need us to buy jed's. of course as you can see we give him his share not madge let him takes it. and us wanted to find out whether they could pay to get one of the
11:10 pm
accused off the bone to the clark worked he got i mean to see the judge. the amount of money needed to tim seen in a judge's light this is no small a nurse says that this judge wanted around free thousand dollars more than a month's salary for a high court justice who spoke to him where the kids were given their narration and they who demanded their money be given to him so that's what you can see here is the man that has been given to give it up and give us an add on to eight thousand c.d.'s and it over but the judge wants to make sure he gets a further amount he asked me the defendant in person to sort out the paperwork. after the money is finally handed over the lucky. all three is three whole accuse
11:11 pm
will get long sentences as the oil companies state owned it's the people of ghana we've just lost out is this kind of corruption which provides ferd's how ground for campaigning journalist like crazy pratt the award winning newspaper editor crushing our folks with your list of the facts everything first of all enormous resources are being taken out of the state coffers in the was resources are being taken out to private coffers and so all of that ended up with we all know to believe in this corruption in the award of called towards it is that the contractors are going to wish on a job you know if those corruption you know in the admission of students in is that the quality of students who are going to end up wasn't juniors as all would be defective. with huge natural resources including oil gone as should be one of africa's powerhouse economies
11:12 pm
but it's not. a point not lost on ghana's most influential citizen corruption that's not all they distort. development it deprives the poor of services. and not only does it deprive the poor of services when the corrupt get away with it and there are no sanctions here create in a society that kabir rotten to the cause. after two years under cover and messines tiger i investigative team went public in september the decision would provoke huge controversy death threats and they sometimes uncomfortable spotlight on their own methods. among the first to hear what had been going on was gone as president john muhammad. mr president. there's a problem on our hands. what is the problem that you dish out. then he bow down his
11:13 pm
head. deep think. wow so how many. thirty four. a nurse also briefed gone as most senior judge the chief justice to gino would say as how long is this meeting one to finish talking about we've been trying to mix. weather for twelve hours. just a few days later the chief justice suspended twenty two junior judges and began impeachment proceedings against twelve more senior ones and thus was told by the president his evidence would be vital but he was warned he'd be in for a tough time. axed me and i prepared to subject myself to that scrutiny and that says that because it's not going to be awful i said mr president. i can't
11:14 pm
put my life on the evidence i have. no consent for the fire as an undercover journalist and nasa has been laney's life on the line for nearly twenty years i am going undercover to find out who is behind this illegal business and how they are getting away with it. initially a newspaper journalist is undercover techniques made him a television natural what's needed is governmental regulation and therefore spent to protect children environment and our future. he didn't face the gay corruption of the times no subject was off limits. and this was singled out for his campaign journalism by the us president when he came to go now in two thousand and nine they're all focused on or areas that are
11:15 pm
critical to the future of africa and the entire developing world. democracy opportunity health and the peaceful resolution of conflict we see that spirit in courageous journalists. well i got us i remember i doubt risk his life for the truth and if you do stories that often invest in port and attention like. vesta kitty rex plays into human trafficking the chinese mafia sex same deal with kate's exploit and kate's i mean if you do that kind of story that has international impact i'm more surprised a u.s. president will record my start. and less home these forensic techniques fervor by qualifying as a lawyer he was was studying the law and he began to focus on the hidden problem of judicial corruption if you look at records look i began i have been to initiative
11:16 pm
of or to look at the u.s. department of state to report for better on me to report. always that. they could dish out. as having issues and telling this off option. i felt embarrassed as an undercover and then us that. we only left it at the realm of speculation and that flash as substyles to do is issue. and i spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a network of undercover agents i mean to bribe judges includes officials in every region of gone on cases they would have included family disputes fraud armed robbery and great in fact any case up to and including. and first the judges seem to resist the chance of extra funds for their fair sex and it
11:17 pm
was selfish there was no results coming. in or body was taking that on hours i spoke to my team it was almost like i recall one team member telling our boss what you did there was not in there why did you see which was that. and i felt embarrassed worse still twelve of the judges the investigators from tiger y. approached turned down the bribes and some of them even threatened to report the journalist to the police for attempted bribery could it be that gone as judges were more honest in bruma suggested. perhaps not a nurse's team slowly realized what was wrong they needed to spend longer hanging around cool and to their faces became familia someday we were just tagging along with relatives and not just saying anything about we address any of that court and we always said at the place that i did this i knew when he raises his head so as
11:18 pm
soon as you do that beautiful versus the dead looks at your face and think that ok this guy is funny and i caught. him turmel a nov and gone out and messes investigators went to see if they could influence the outcome of a rape case it was an appeal here in the twenty nine year old defendant wanted to reverse a conviction for raping an under-aged girl and last his team went to plead for the young man. this is what were respected high court judge and come at it and all their original soul but rather than lead us to his house that morning and met and as you can see that's him. the defendant is appealing because he claims the girl was actually sixteen at the time and judge and so dear boys shouldn't be meeting like this but he appears
11:19 pm
willing to listen and he suggests that the girl's father should come to court to say she wasn't really under-aged. all that went. in my. mind that i think that. we should look at income and the. then judge as helping us so that the guy can walk free. so we take the money. and then we hand it over to the judges anxious nobody should know that he accepted the cash i think. and he said oh. ok. this is i was in jail and this is his claque was not part of the incident. this was
11:20 pm
a day of judgment and not he looked very good that day and he indeed he freed this guy this was after we had been two thousand then as it is to him when therefore decided to go back to him. and this is team take a traditional gift bags of yams and more cash i think and see here is he collecting the money that we're giving him. the convicted rapist was freed from a ten year sentence with hard labor to return home to the gills neighborhood as a result of the nasa is intervention. not everybody agrees with the nasa is methods not even some from his own journalistic community journalists are not support us. to be acting. intelligent agents you know not really substantially different from
11:21 pm
other causes and some other quite m i five agents and so on we've investigated but i met those also different you know. not a whole unless a real analysis due in seoul there which is local where the search has been this an interest and good and sought but the men thought a lot journalistic but a nurse is unashamed about his methods and believes the ends justify the means my journalism is a product of the society look i have saying i am america and you do a story we have a chance is strong citizens who would get up and ensure that you follow up and put those bad guys behind bass. here in the hall up in it is also. in the first week of september news of an ass is sting operation against the
