antiterrorism legislation following recent suicide bomb attacks the change allows for military involvement in counter-terrorism policing and extended detention periods more than change people are killed in attacks in indonesia second largest city earlier this month the suicide blasts were carried out by two families linked to eisele scott hiders more from jakarta. sweeping changes to indonesia's anti-terrorism laws passed here in parliament on friday no this came after a late night negotiations through late thursday evening focused primarily on the definition of terrorism there the government and parliamentarians had a different view of what should be defined as terrorists and terrorism that was the gap was bridged and they were able to take this legislation to the floor here in parliament on friday the new laws really focus on a few things one primarily is the prevention of terror attacks that's were previous laws were a bit weak here in this country that focuses on people who are associated who

pledge allegiance who have been trained by terrorist organizations they can now be charged before an actual event has taken place a terrorist attack has been taken place but also even if they're plotting it they're able to now the government here in the legal system is able to bring people in and charge them for that so that's focused on prevention no one thing also this bill these new laws say is that the military will have a role when it comes to preventing terror attacks but the government has said to calm concerns over the military being very involved in almost all operations of terrorism the government saying only when it's big enough that they need the assistance of the military now the details of just how big that involvement will be will come in the next year where the president has to put official declaration exactly how the military will be involved that's to come but right now finally after two years before this bill final was passed it was passed on friday here in the parliament malaysian police of season eight thirty million dollars from three apartments linked to the family of former prime minister najib razak and to

corruption offices also found bags containing jewelry and watches police say son and daughter were living in the apartments questions on allegations that billions of dollars stolen from a state investment fund while he was prime minister he denies any wrongdoing given gopalan a small phone call and. police say they waited three premises allegedly linked to the former prime minister najib one was apparently occupied by his daughter the other by his son and the third was vacant now in this vacant apartment they say they found twenty nine million dollars in cash in twenty six different currencies they also say they found thirty seven bags of luggage containing jewelry and luxury watches these are currently being valued but police say the value may exceed the amount of cash they found they also found two hundred eighty four luxury handbags including brick and bags these are currently being authentic ated now these have all been seized over the past week and in separate raids they also have brought in

the former prime minister for questioning clued in america than seven hours session yesterday there have also been other revelations and these are proving hard for many malaysians to stomach as it's now coming out that the funds are money used to support this want to defund the fund was government's money now for so long the previous government had maintained and so had the former c.e.o. of the fund they had always said that government money our money taxpayers' money wasn't being used to prop up this fund while it's now been found out that taxpayer money is being used to pay the interest that we go through some of the figures so far one billion dollars has been paid out by the central bank and now bear in mind this is money that had been earmarked for the development of malaysia going into infrastructure and education they also revealed that by the end of this month another thirty five million dollars has to be paid out in interest rates and pretty

much by the end of this year a quarter of a billion dollars will have to be paid out and interest many malaysians are understandably angry this had previously led to protests against the previous government and it is essentially this corruption scandal that unseated the former government and brought the new government in to give a top story in donald trump canceling the meeting with kim jong un let's bring in adrian brown in beijing i believe there's been some official comment what is it. yes we've just heard in the last few minutes from china's official foreign ministry spokesman this is the first time china has reacted to president trump's decision to cancel that planned summit in singapore the response actually from china was fairly measured and restrained rather like the response actually from north korea the spokesman said that we have noticed there have been obstacles in the process of preparing for this meeting but we also notice the two sides are willing to meet up

and he says we hope both sides will cherish the opportunity that's been made be patient with each other and work towards the same direction so quite restrained there i think china doesn't want to enter into a sort of he said he said she said slanging match with the united states remember president trump has basically accused president xi jinping of trying to influence kim jong un so he can gain leverage in the ongoing trade talks between washington and beijing i think you know there are certainly those analysts here in beijing who believe that there are figures in the trumpet ministration who actually didn't want this summit to happen in the first place otherwise they say why would the national security advisor followed by his vice president use the analogy of libya to talk about the fate of kim jong un i think it was a sense of incredulity when mike pence made those comments and it seemed to china

that actually at the moment the united states or elements in the trump white house simply didn't want this summit to go ahead also jane china is very curious about the timing of president trump's decision because it was made literally just hours after north korea had begun dismantling those underground tunnels at one of its nuclear test sites thank you for that. aid agencies are struggling to deal with the latest humanitarian crisis in south sudan fighting between government and opposition forces is making it hard to. reach millions of hungry people with approach of the rainy season the situation is likely to get worse every morgan reports some i owed county. four children to feed and a stigma to care for but there's no food and no medicine and there's little hope left in her home village of can't. quite go along we don't have enough food not even enough basic items to get by every day not enough clinics if you passed away
