malaysia's marketeer mohammad has just been sworn in as prime minister after a remarkable victory at the polls well that ceremony is currently underway it's taking place at the royal palace in kuala lumpur outside crowds are celebrating but this is the scene inside the palace there you see the supporters of moderate is a coalition which has unseated the established party better than nasional has been in power for nigh on sixty years ever since independence in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven still a same party and of course mahathir mohamad himself no stranger to the position of prime minister he ruled for almost twenty years in fact more than twenty years but that's a scene a prayer is being said for the assembled dignitaries. when
5:03 pm
he is our correspondent who's outside the royal palace as this ceremony continues and wane there's no understating it is there really the surprise and the overwhelming achievement that has been accomplished by martin mohammed the ninety two year old former prime minister of malaysia who now takes the reins again. it's quite incredible really it's been an incredible comeback to the second chain yet as prime minister of this country it was only in two thousand and sixteen hour that he split from on no that he split from paris on national the ruling coalition decided to set up his own political party and decided to set that party up with the goal of becoming a major opposition force and hopefully come this election be part of the winning coalition and that is exactly what has done with a lot of concern to about this election people knew that. was
5:04 pm
a chance with mohammed such a strong for such a strong name in malaysian politics with him involved that there was a good chance that this was going to be close so there was concern about how this would play out really how would by reason national with the outgoing prime minister najib resign at the helm helm how would they let go of power would it be a smooth transition would we see trouble on the streets protests possibly even violence that we've seen in the past there's been absolutely no sign of that a few very minor scuffles on election day but so far today the day after election day there has been nothing but celebrations people lining the streets the highways leading to the palace the sebring trying to get a glimpse of mohammed as he came to the palace for the swearing in ceremony and as you said earlier possibly a couple of thousand people outside the gates here and that swearing in ceremony started just before ten o'clock in the evening local time so just a few minutes ago and they were being civil delays throughout the day the
5:05 pm
expectation was that it would happen on a thursday morning that is certainly what has happened in the past has taken place the morning after the election and throughout the day we saw several delays and of eventually at about four thirty in the afternoon malaysian time i had seen him self and at the palace so he's been there for five hours waiting for this to happen and finally as you mentioned just a few minutes ago before the king of malaysia he was sworn in as the seventh prime minister of this country and at ninety two waiting i mean he's made he's made light of it hasn't he saying that he's he's fully compass mentors he's got all his faculties but he's ninety two isn't he. yes you can get away from that fact is a very healthy energetic looking ninety two year old he turns ninety three in july but you can't get away from the fact that he is in his ninety's so he has a plan. in the future in fact he stated clearly that within the next two years he
5:06 pm
will hand over power to an why abraham his former deputy prime minister who he sank back in one nine hundred ninety eight this election campaign and result is really full of ironies and that is one of the major ironies that he sat down why abraham in the late ninety's and then oversaw the imprisonment of and why you bring him on sodomy charges charges which were politically motivated then fast forward and he was jailed again on sodomy charges. out was the prime minister and who put in that position it was marty a mohammed while he was with while he was still very much pulling the strings of this coalition baris son national so he's been a dominant force in malaysian politics for decades now and clearly continues to be a very popular figure very powerful figure because he as i say is now the prime minister once again of this country and as you can see there is still a lot of support for him and this is very much as malaysians not only wanted the
5:07 pm
figure of me to return to the helm again but also they liked his message and his message was basically wanting to restore the country to the rule of law because under. heaven so many questions swirling around about him personally in a bounce at corruption and his government. yes i think certainly in the last few years there was a sense that even if not jeepers arc won this election it was going to be close and therefore his change would possibly come to an end fairly soon anyway through another election or through more protests on the streets that we've seen over the over the past few years and in particular that is because he was overseeing one man do you believe this huge scandal surrounding that state investment firm which has seen billions of dollars siphoned off it while he was the chairman of the advisory
5:08 pm
board all one named d.b. he denies any wrongdoing there still investigations going on and it was difficult to tell though leading up to this election where the malaysians really did care about that well the result would suggest that they did care about that result and now it will be very interesting to see exactly what happens tonight you resign and the prime ministership of. mohammed he has been asked will you go off tonight you've now he said look i'm not after revenge but i want to see the rule of law restored so certainly there is an expectation that perhaps not in the next few weeks maybe not even in the next few months but eventually we may see nudgee brossard go before the courts for his alleged role in the scandal surrounding one aim to be all right wayne thank you very much wayne hay there live in kuala lumpur as you see the supposed as thousands of supporters of marketing mohammed the new prime minister the seventh prime minister of malaysia right let's look at some
5:09 pm
other news now and israel says it's hit dozens of iranian targets inside syria the military says it was in response to iranian rockets being fired at its forces in the occupied golan heights now syria's government has described the assault as the start of a dangerous new phase in the conflict are a force that has more from the occupied golan heights. cockpit video from israeli warplanes is they carried out the largest and most prolonged air strike in syria since the start of its civil war israel says it hit dozens of iranian military targets as well as five syrian anti-aircraft installations israel says it was a response after iranian forces launched twenty rockets at israeli targets in the occupied golan heights we have made it very clear that we are here to defend ourselves those who started this round of violence were hearing ins who attacked israel we responded accordingly and we are now waiting to see how the iranians will
5:10 pm
respond israeli forces in the occupied golan heights were on alert for any further response at the same time local residents were told to go about their business as normal schools were open no restrictions placed on large gatherings israel says of the twenty rockets that were fired towards the occupied golan heights from syrian territory they all either fell in syrian territory or they were intercepted what followed was a massive and prolonged response from the israeli armed forces a real escalation in the kind of force that israel has so far been prepared to use within syria it's a message to deter any further such action and it's also making the most of an opportunity to do as much damage to rein in forces as possible israel's government has long warned of a growing threat from iranian bases and missiles inside syria it seems to have decided to act sooner rather than later. we have of course hit all the infrastructure not all but almost all of the iranian infrastructure in syria they must remember the saying if it rains here it will pour over there and i hope that
5:11 pm
we finish this chapter and that everyone got the message. syrian state media said syrian air defenses it inserted most of the incoming rockets over the capital damascus but also confirmed that a radar station and a weapons storage site was struck. with iranian state television said syria had given a quote crushing response to. israeli attacks the strikes were carried out hours after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was in moscow saying he'd come away confident that russia would not prevent what he called israel's freedom of action a day later a different tone from the russian foreign minister. we see this is a very alarming development we believe that all issues must be resolved through dialogue during our multiple contacts with the leadership of both iran and israel including during yesterday's meeting between putin and netanyahu we underline the necessity of avoiding any actions that might be seen as mutually provocative. for
5:12 pm
now this latest flurry of cross border violence has subsided but all sides are aware that a new bar has been set for its intensity that it could all too easily rise again are a force at al-jazeera in the occupied golan heights now an iranian m.p. insists that iran didn't carry out any strike on israel. says it was the syrian army that exchange myself with israel. from. so the question that everyone here is asking who shot first and we're still waiting for official reaction from the foreign minister of the presidency or from supreme leader himself or from anyone in the military establishment from the senior level officials we haven't heard any word on what they feel or think happened. at the border between syria and israel last night who we have heard from is a member of parliament mohammad jamal the he's on the parliamentary commission for national security and foreign policy commission often speaks on such matters and
5:13 pm
what he told us is that what what israel was doing inside syria was probing and testing and that that was a strategic mistake he said that israel is essentially carrying out these raids because it cannot wage a conventional war with syria because it knows it would lose and he also said that iran's response is coming now he did not shed any light on whether or not iran was involved but what they've continuously said in the past which is likely to be reiterated again when we do see more senior level reaction is that syria has a right to defend itself that this is a conflict between syria and israel and syria responded appropriately and that israel is in fact the aggressor and as always they're moral most likely to point out that iran is in syria at the behest of the official government of that country but we're still waiting on senior level reaction here in the heart. now says a rescue operation is underway after a dam burst in central kenya police say they've recovered at least forty nine
