reports. algeciras investigative unit infiltrated a criminal gang that fixes cricket matches they told us they bribed groundsman to dock to the pitch to control the result of people walking on the go through in the back robin morris is a former professional cricketer from mumbai he offered to provide information about a fix in return for a cut of all winnings from betting you give me thirty percent seventy thirty thirty forty one of the chances all of that work using like ninety percent on savings and i'm going to be understood. because. if you choose you. later in sri lanka morris introduced me to to run the indy car assistant manager at the goal international stadium well. the good news is. if. we discovered that the criminals were planning to fix a test match between sri lanka and england later this year we also found evidence

that they picked two test matches in sri lanka to make money from betty. the groundsman said that he made a pitch to favor bowlers for the match between australia and sri lanka in august two thousand and sixteen but if they like the look of it that. they. had to do that on a surface stacked against them the batsman morag quickly the five day match was one in less than two and a half days. morris had bet that the match would not last five days and made a hefty profit model or good i'll be. hard on them but if you know what the pitch is going to tell you you can make a hell of a lot of money to have that inside information is a license to print money may first three lanka's match against india in july last year in deacon made another kind of page this time to favor a batsman. they have decided that it. india batted first and

hit a massive six hundred runs more is new to bet on a high school for the first innings and once again made a large profit. there is no evidence that any of the players involved in these test matches how any knowledge of the pitch fixing morris was now planning his next pitch fix that goal i'm only linking be i know what the. next one that he will talk to the fish he's. done this in. india assured us that the sri lanka england test match will not last the full five days he said he wanted a four day week and it was. something i couldn't imagine. that in a decade denies any involvement in pitch fixing morris denies any wrongdoing he says al jazeera invited him to act in a movie for public entertainment david harrison our jazeera london or you can catch the entire episode of that exclusive investigation into cricket match

fixing on al-jazeera sunday at twenty g.m.t. . the volatility of the turkish lira is bringing the country to the edge of a financial crisis the currency has had its worst week and month in almost nine years it's hit a low of four point ninety three against the u.s. dollar to help again ground the central bank raise the interest rate by three percentage points on wednesday then followed up on friday with a move to help companies repay some foreign currency debts the lira has lost more than twenty percent of its value since the start of the year all this comes as the country is repairing for a general election next month sit in kosovo glued joining us from istanbul to first discuss the lira and tell us what is behind the latest volatility in the weakening of the euro. well there isn't actually the weakening and is not independent from the strength in the global economy as the united states

central bank raises interest rates the dollars are going to leaving to developing countries like turkey and going back to united states but on the other hand turkish economy has structural problems this is what they can say that we have been talking for many days and one of the biggest problem is that turkey's external debt has reached a bow four hundred fifty billion dollars and and next month by the end of next month turkey has to pay a lot of money as part of the six are no that also despite the financial discipline in the public sector the private sector has accumulated foreign currency and this is mostly in u.s. dollars so. when you consider that there is a state of emergency following the fav coup in two thousand and sixteen crackdown on media and crackdown on business circles plus the syrian refugees that turkey's has been hosting for seven years and turkey has been spending

a lot of money and also intensified minutes to operations in turkey's southern is also in northern syria the costs are going higher so this is kind of a breakable cycle right now and there is a panic in the foreign capital we see that. has been kind of leaving turkey in the last couple of months so when the u.s. dollar gains value against the central bank has to increase the interest rates and this is what the ruling party has been against prison don and his allies see this economic turbulence the current economic turbulence as an attack to their to their government to overthrow the government actually this is how it is perceived but these are mostly the structural problems engage with the political risk that turkey has been with ok. so them thank you for that update.

police in the united states have made a record breaking seizure on an illegal drug with enough doses to kill millions of addicts and fentanyl excuse me worth to twenty million dollars was found hidden in a truck during a routine traffic stop in nebraska these synthetic drugs up to fifty times more potent than heroin john hendren reports. it is one of the biggest seizures of an opioid drug in u.s. history in the hidden compartment of a truck nebraska state police found fifty three and a half kilograms of fentanyl worth twenty million dollars on american streets according to the u.s. drug enforcement agency that is potentially enough to kill twenty six million people you take that much fat all off the street you are saving lives and that's what our nebraska state troopers are doing driver felipe gin iommi naya and passenger nelson union were arrested for drug possession with intent to distribute when you're made of the opioid epidemic in the u.s.

has left police and medical services struggling to cope with the sheer number of overdoses and deaths it's a time bomb it's a prescription for disaster it totally has the potential to kill them if they're not expecting that the u.s. centers for disease control found that most of the drug overdoses in the u.s. are due to fenton a drug thirty to fifty times as powerful as heroin i have never seen anything like that from my almost forty years of working and i believe that that overdose rate will increase i think once in drugs like this or in our market place if we don't find a way to interrupt that cycle more and more people will use it opioids kill one hundred fifteen americans every day this police video shows a man near death in skokie illinois revived by the drug nor can which many police in the country now carry a few songs signs grains of fencing all are enough to kill most people when they do overdose the lucky ones end up at places like stroger hospital in chicago but many

don't make it at all in terms of the sheer volume it's really the biggest we've had that the rate of rise of fatalities in cook county has just stepped up up on the twenty fifteen we had about six hundred sixty five fatalities the next year we had eleven hundred and for the past year we're collecting the statistics on. and it looks like it'll be at least at that level maybe it will but higher us police see the strength of their recovering from black market drug dealers is more powerful than ever meaning its victims could in time be counted in the millions john hendren al-jazeera chicago the president of one of america's largest universities has resigned following a mass petition by students and legal action over a sex abuse scandal the university of southern california is accused of ignoring complaints about gynecologists towards tindall he resigned last year after female

allowed just five liters of water a day in comparison when cape town was in drought earlier this year the limit was ten times that the risk of water borne illnesses increases when people try to live only some fifty liters a day in northern india is seeing that firsthand. the call is separate from vomiting diarrhea and fever the doctor has given him injections and put him on a sailing trip now things are better nearly five hundred kilometers from shimla the moron a district hospital is full of children sick from heat exposure and contaminated water. patients coming here are suffering from a mix of borrow and bacterial diarrhea i.v. percent of the children coming to outpatient department are affected by seasonal communicable diseases it is my belief that the children of juda the rising temperatures or. water shortages are not new in india but climate change is the country cracking under the hottest summers the length of heat waves is increasing

like long lost much of its power and it also did not the eye it was like one did not directly hit here in the city. that has about two hundred thousand people in it. instead it passed about seventy five kilometers to the southwest of here and thus an area with population in relation. to somalia here also i mean very force talking about only the deaths of two people during the night one of them is a twelve year old girl and the other east a man who was driving in the street was when his car drifted into a family that was flooded. so there is as i said the sense of relief here but due to the mobilization that the government has launched in the last few days and the awareness among the people here the damage was limited talking about material damage we don't have figures yet i think that assessment is still going on and there will be probably more information about this in the next few hours or days.

a network of secret prisons in yemen run by the united arab emirates in a report published last year the eighteen secret prisons reportedly have as many as two thousand prisoners and those prisoners have been subjected to a variety of brutal tortures including electric shocks beatings burning and sexual abuse those findings were largely confirmed by a special panel of experts appointed by the u.n. now this legislation passed by the house is part of a much larger defense department budget bill it would have to go to the senate to be then sent on to president trump for his signature to become law the senate just recently voted to approve gina haskell as director of the cia his haskell was allegedly involved in activities including torture at u.s.

black site prisons in earlier years. according to u.s. law it is illegal for u.s. personnel to be involved in torture however those protections are much less stringent when it comes to surrogates or u.s. allies actually carrying out brutal acts the u.s. has been supporting the u. the u.a.e. and saudi arabia in their battle against who the rebels in yemen for about the past three years let's pretend dress craig he's an assistant professor at the defense studies department at king's college london and he's running as via skype how significant is this congressional vote. it is significant in that the american public needs to know what what the rule of the united states troops in that area is at the moment because nobody really knows on the other hand in terms of bringing an end to what is going on on these black sites i mean there's been

a lot of evidence coming out of the last year suggesting that there are a range of different sorry it's operating in these present so u.s. as is not directly involved in actually setting up or running these sides because black sites have been somewhat made illegal after two thousand and nine but what the u.s. has done they've basically externalize this two sergeants mostly united arab emirates but even the united arab emirates have now again externalized this burden to local groups that they're cooperating with so they control and oversight as well as the attribution to the u.s. directly or indirectly will be very very difficult so even if there is. there will be a some sort of evidence that the u.s. has taken some of that evidence is some of that into a they came out of the interim it would directly mean that the u.s. can do anything about it i think so are you saying there is an investigation and this congressional votes would not really reveal the exact role that say u.s. military personnel have played in these interrogations it's very difficult to

determine because i think what is the most what u.s. would be involved in was probably be part of the interview process that there might be interrogators there who are part of u.s. government or u.s. government organizations such as the cia and this is happened in the past which is also illegal but is still would mean that the u.s. has any control what happens to detainees while they're in prison and what happens to them before and after interrogation i think there is another aspect that u.s. troops might be involved in actually capturing and detaining individuals and then bringing them to the black sites which makes it problematic but what is also proprietor magic and i think which is more likely the most likely is that the u.s. has taken the intelligence gathered by the u.a.e. and use it for their own in their own. intelligence handling and processing and that in itself is also a violation of u.s. law international law and the torture convention in the in the in the fog of war how difficult is it to assess the actual level of control that u.s.

personnel have in these u.a.e. iran presents very very difficult so even if we had a good team on the ground it would be able to conduct this kind of. that kind of investigation it would be very difficult to undo rebel what's actually going on i think even the pentagon itself doesn't have full on with sight of what you know people are involved in because there are different u.s. agencies on the ground in yemen there's cia operations are completely separate from pentagon operations and when it comes to these kind of black sites we've seen that in the past where the u.s. actually set them up and manage them all across the world and have nobody was really held to account for this and as you said the cia director the new one was involved in this kind of let's i don't rush before we have publicly was now the state secretary of state who publicly came out and door saying torture and you have a president who's indorsing torture all of these people are very high as you know old actually are very much embrace in this kind of operation it's very hard to

determine whether then the u.s. would go out hundred percent in and try to investigate what's actually going on right dress crack we thank you for speaking to us from london thank you well it's getting it's tough for other getting around the largest city in central america if you're in a wheelchair or many and while i'm glad i'm on a city remain trapped at home because of the lack of wheelchair friendly buildings but one woman is determined to get things moving for disabled people as david mercer reports. every time the gomez heads out of her house she puts herself at risk. getting to work and tails a dangerous forty five minute long commute. that has to cross guatemala city's boulevards and bridges while dodging motorbikes cars and trucks she and many of her friends have been hit the fifty two year old says the lack of wheelchair friendly infrastructure is just one more barrier to overcome by. there are lots of

poles and steps on the sidewalks lots of obstacles i prefer to put myself at risk in the street than get caught up on the sidewalk if i don't put in this effort to get to work i wouldn't be able to pay my rent or my bills. getting on a bus is a challenge at the best of times. and traveling during rush hour is impossible for years money in the lobby the government for wheelchair accessible public transportation in a metropolitan area home to around three million people only a handful of public buses have ramps. international conventions and national laws obligate guatemala to protect the rights of people with disabilities and provide them with opportunities in education health care accessibility and more critics though say that there have been few advances. in the works in the only government office in guatemala city that's fully wheelchair accessible she photocopies documents from seven in the morning until six o'clock at night it might seem

repetitive but mary linda is just happy to be working. it took me ten years to get a stable job i put in lots of applications but nothing some people said outright it was because i'm in a wheelchair. our abilities just are disability. three days a week marilyn that teaches people how to pilot a wheelchair she's determined to help those with disabilities become more independent. my goal is to prove to the government that if you want something badly enough you can do it. even though we don't have many resources we've achieved a lot with the government's help we could do much more. overcoming obstacles bit by bit these members of society have much to offer if only they're
