lead to accepted a peace deal last month that ended the conflict to stay with this more news later on. only. and. you. will. see. the time for change has come. to that was the message from malaysia's new day. after his shocking victory over the ruling coalition in may. one thousand three next week is the world's oldest head of states he opposed the political forces he was once

a part of the united. nation or i'm no witch of malaysia since its independence from britain in one nine hundred fifty seven. malaysia is a diverse nation with millions of muslims hindus buddhists living side by side the contrasting place where the old and new come together. many malaysians have been angry in recent years over governments corruption and the rising cost of living prime minister mahathir has accused his predecessor of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars and embezzling public funds. this week travels to the malaysian capital to sit down with the man fighting against corruption and for a more united malaysia prime minister mahathir mohamad talks to al-jazeera. thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera you're welcome. as prime minister in

two thousand and three for more than two decades in the top job here in malaysia but you never really left politics you were still very much a dominant figure within the ruling. united malays national organization or noise it's known locally and it's actually been the monopoly holder of government since malaysia gained independence in two thousand and sixteen though you resigned from knowing you set up your own party announcing that you would contest the next elections which you eventually ended up winning surprisingly what is it that made you decide to run again for office at the age of ninety two. when they stepped down in two thousand and three i had no intention of being in politics still but after i stepped down and the new leader takes over. a lot of people came to see me asking me to do something because they were not

satisfied with the leadership of the successes my successes. i responded to their the lead tried to advise right. but even with the fifth prime minister i had to resign from the by the and came in to have fim. sat down and give it to that. eventually that this. took over but again. people were not happy because of a lot of scandals and involving him a lot of money was lost so again people came to see me as he me please do something well the big news that interested people internationally about malaysia has unfortunately been the issue of corruption in the case of the malaysian investment fund the one of the billion the hundreds of millions of dollars that have gone missing the chief culprits in this were the most prominent culprits in this is the

former prime minister najib razak now he appeared in court on wednesday and is now being charged what evidence is there that he stole money i mean why should people be. if that he's guilty and it's not just an attempt by you or your allies to get rid of your political opponents where. should that the prosecutor the attorney general has good enough evidence to decide to go to the cause i am not involved in the investigation by i know generally that one of the reasons why the people did in one night to go on and he was defeated in the last election because of the scandals involving huge sums of money. which he was involved in and of course the law must see its costs and e.g. fines the navy does of eggs. and

the takes the decision so this is there's a complete separation here between your role in terms of politics on the on the way in which the legal process is taking place well when they came back one of or promises was that we will honor the separation of power bt and. exact and the judiciary so i cannot interfere. with what he wants to do for a promise a major claim that the money that was in his accounts we're talking about six hundred eighty one million dollars was a gift from saudi arabia to help in his election campaign now either he's telling the truth in saudi arabia has effectively been interfering in malaysian politics by funding somebody is campaign or he's lying in the money was stolen but he's using saudi arabia to try and cover his tracks would also mean that saudi arabia is interfering in malaysian politics or domestic affairs when last i'm so money move.

there will be a quote that calls in the bank eggs be issued his taxes being me when that deeply it was given to him as a gift. that. money he. meant that. to be taken as the truth he must provide. documentary evidence legler letters from the bank and also we want to ne very generous man we just get the money to give so much money but my point here is that is there is aside from the corruption there is a more dangerous issue which is foreign interference in malaysian politics if we are to say that the money did come from a saudi royal who gave it to him for his election campaign then saudi arabia is funding your political parties which is something that i'm not sure malaysians would be happy about of a foreign country dictating who becomes prime minister and if he's not telling the truth then also saudi arabia is interfering because they're allowing him to use

their name to cover up the tracks often puzzlement we're disappointed in that. as not denying that the money was given by a saudi. at one time he claims but the clip listen and then he leaves these so deal and all that but he has no proof of these so we can accuse saudi arabia unless of course there is proof that as in fake try to interfere in politics this isn't the first major corruption case to plague our government in malaysia in fact when you were prime minister the first time around there were kids asians at the time of widespread corruption among some officials but your critics would say that instead of you purposely investigating that you decided to suck the man who claimed to be fighting gets who was at the time your right hand man deputy prime minister on or ibrahim and thrown behind bars

do you still stand by what you did back then where they could be because police reported to me that he seemed. volman is something that he's regarded it's criminal in the beyond the editor police to work i cannot do anything to put people into jail he was last seen nine months was a trial that's many human rights organizations international where it was criticized always he went to his people when they have their favorites being put before the court they will see that. he's being many plead that they just had their right taken me in the position but in that in the law according to the laws of the country it is the court. but if you could go back in time would you have maybe investigated it ever further or done something

different for you. now have a relationship which is yet to be amended and that was before there was before on the b.b.c. so police report. me because it's very prominent member of the government beyond that the police and judiciary. the section not me so i think i am not to be believed for that. but you were head of state i mean you had your introduce the internal security act as. i did in ten that was a new head lifted from the british and that was used by all the primary says so militia before me the first the second the third and also there was amendments made to reduce that made it more difficult for public protests for example in the us if you would eat at duty my time there was the interviews the habeas corpus

in which several people were released on the beach that there was not sufficient evidence for us to defeat the person during my time before that there was no need of this court was this can be checked with. the your predecessor promise and. he called you malaysia's number one actor after your alliance with one or brought him and the reports more that you made with him now is that's reports more on that reemergence of a coalition or friendship or partnership whatever it may be called is this a genuine attempt to rectify mistakes and maybe unify malaysia once again or is it as prime minister najib or former prime minister to play games and act to reinvent yourself and maybe lead you back to power. and all was one of the major parties tyndall position and if we are going to overthrow ninety all the

parties and in no position must form a coalition going on their own by themselves they will never be able to defeat him so he was headed that we form a coalition and whatever may be may have happened in the past that the east not as important as the attempt to with through and because when they do best and east that it will for the country so i'm. many are this in the bus accused me of all kinds of. wrongdoing. and we decided that the past has a box now we have to come together because the overthrowing of nine hundred eighty s. far more important than our previous quarter what was the thought was so bad that najib as far as you're concerned what are the main threats to malaysia. number one cause he was evolved in a lot of scandals including. accusation of he stealing money from the

government not small amount billions of ringgit and also there was evidence brought by american department of justice we can ignore all these things and say well this did not happen no one would believe that did happen so we must make sure that if there isn't any basis what they. then he must grow to a court of throw when he was prime minister he had many plead that. day at the new general he was he was sacked through hard work or did you believe investigator you far didn't investigate here by just before you were supposed to be for the task in a court of law again you were fired and new men at point then who cleared of any wrongdoing but nobody believes that he was free of wrongdoing now and there he

is not the prime minister and he cannot menu police. did it should he and the department. know must east cost how how is it that he was allowed to manipulate the system. how did the system allow for the prime minister to interfere to the point where he was able to fire the lead investigator and now you are you are prime minister that same system is. there so then they can say well you could do the same thing what checks and balances are there now to provide good or bad didn't do you see i was twenty two years as prime minister there was no accusation of stealing money against me and all the other their accusations were just political a condition with no proof as to what they see being through but indicates how ninety today we have enough evidence and would rule for

all must be applied ok let's go back to your relationship with anwar and you promised as part of your campaign that you would secure a pardon for him if elected and you've done that but you've also promised to hand him the reins within two years why two years and also what differences are there that you want change your mind for example you're suddenly really think maybe that you're better at the drop you have more experience and you decide to continue we need to form a coalition in order to defeat nancy and that coalition must include annoyance patty and the condition for and want to join the coalition is that he will be the next prime minister after me. and my next could be after ten years i could be off the truth why why did you pick two years publicly user cause i'm all i am one you don't three years you know where there's a ninety three years young but two years more old be ninety five years old you do mean many. but i mean it says that so it's just an arbitrary it's not

because of the vision twenty twenty that you have once announced when you were prime minister of yours that i would trade the world vision did it indeed but after i stepped down he's left to unknown whether he wants to continue with it or one of the criticisms that you face when you are prime minister the first time around was that you carved freedoms as i mentioned in terms of. terms of the what happened with regard to internal security act or the that some of the opponents were jailed like honor and so forth. are you looking to use the same strong man approach this time or is your approach maybe more of a unifying healing phase that malaysia needs to go through particular when you consider and we'll talk about the economy in a second that. we can say the malaysian economy is maybe stuttered to say the least in the past few years compared to the heights that you have brought up when you were prime minister and where they have to go according to many fests or said

by the coalition i'm not as free to do anything i like because i am bound to carry on what the coalition has decided and the coalition has decided that we will go back to democracy we'll go back to the rule of law so that today i cannot on my own just anybody and during my time ideally in making use of my power to arrest people at random there there must be a cost further afield let's go back to saudi arabia in the gulf malaysia announced it was withdrawing its soldiers from saudi arabia these are the troops that were participating in the saudi led coalition that's been bombarding yemen for almost three years now why did you take the decision to bring back was a little hope to be friendly with all countries not to be but the speed in

any war except for peacekeeping. troops had there. believe for training. saudi at war with yemen we don't want to be involved in other people's war are you know worried though about the saudi reaction and the reason why i ask is because saudi arabia according to neutral observers is being led in let's say a nontraditional way. there have been several reports that the saudis who control islam's holiest sites namely mecca on the card use touch the muslim pilgrims. which one visa allocation as leverage to blackmail muslim majority countries into doing what they want and obviously here it's a it's a big thing are you not worried that the saudis would use that against you or have they tried true has there been any reaction from riyadh with regards to your decision so far has been the reaction in terms of reducing the number of build reims to mecca but don't cause saudis and the independent country it has these

rights if it decides to take any action that is there the right. do you inform them that you are withdrawing the troops what was the what was the reaction from there and i think. only the press was actually asking the government is in what about your relationship with the united arab emirates because central to the corruption scandal that's engulf malaysia in the one and b. case is a man named. now according to statements made by former prime minister najib. because and here's a quote he said he had such strong links with marotta crown prince mohammed bin zayed how do you see malaysia's relationship with the united arab emirates especially if a lot of this money and we know according to a lot of independent reports that dubai has been a hub for money laundering and so forth we want to be friendly with all that and in the world we do want to be involved here they are complete yes they may be scandals

or whatever but that's not going to affect a world relationship country to country but out of that country's involved in funneling money that is public resources essentially helping somebody steal your money and we had to find evidence of that. and if you do find evidence what's fair leave event the rebels will listen and seeing that this is the proper thing to do in all that i mean we don't go to war nobody was thinking about war but i mean in terms of mother normal number. in diplomatic relation is that these protests and things like that maybe we'll do that coming back to the issue of najib in the corruption case against him. could you foresee that he would be sentenced to death for the instant leaders presented can you can you foresee that somebody like him will be put behind bars and would. what kind of message would you

try and send to those who have indeed if if proven been trying to steal or use their positions of influence to steal public funds. because what i want what i want to hear is is that the issue of corruption or the accusation of corruption have plagued malaysia for many years and it seems that nobody has really been punished by it so it's actually the political while that's a legal issue but the political side have given a green light for anybody to do whatever they want because nobody's really been punished. well if they save it is of any criminal and the rule of law will apply. that ninety be speeches because despite he's being a former prime minister has nothing to do with deputation of the rule of whoever e.d.'s hope whatever train. if he breaks a law the law will operate against he was one of your part of the juries you are essentially help build him you don't share the blame here for it no being put the

does it mean that he's exempted from the law not not i mean in the sense that you you helped him reach through those to the position i didn't know you were going to communicate names as he was accused of late their own at the time when there was support the meal appeared to be a good candidate to become prime minister let's let's talk about the economy and you are credited with transforming malaysia's economy making it one of asia's tiger economies as they were called. things have slowed down in the past few years because of the corruption but also other other issues what are your plans to reinject some sort of energy and revive religious economy we have a lot of plans for a recess did release its economy but first of all we had to get rid of this debt that we carry huge debt amount to more than one trillion.

we have to reduce this debt so that the. said we've having to pee into this and principle on this and then prevent us from having the money for development of the country finally i want to ask you you are as we mentioned the oldest head of states in the world. you have witnessed many world events. what are the highlights of your of your career that your you look back on and maybe or your proudest moments on if there is also one thing maybe your regrets most. when they lead. skills or knowledge to the development of a country is not always that everybody appreciates i know there are people who ran down all the things that i have done and there are people who appreciate that what

i have done to me it is either live and i did what i was able to do and i was satisfied that i have given my best of my country that's all and now i am in begin in a position to the correct the faction and if i don't be very selfish indeed if i am still able i will contribute whatever i can the was recessed getting descanting which has a potential to become a developed country provided the policies of the governments are correct but what is your proudest moments what is the highlights of your career you have ninety three years to truth where you know this is a multi-racial country it's not only multi-racial is multi-religious multilingual multicultural and even in terms of the economy some communities are

very nice others up poor when i became prime minister in one thousand eight hundred one the fear was that i would be a guinn's the chinese as a community but in the end when i sat down the chinese were the people who support the me best and i didn't make two thirds majority because of their support to me that is very set. it's fake see because it means that they cues ition that i was begins a chinese is not true because in the end they were the ones who is a but the me so far that i think i can be very satisfied prime minister thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera.

hyla has the latest from chiang rai after more than two weeks trapped deep underground one by one the boys emerged and were taken away by ambulance their ordeal finally came to an end when rescuers launched a daring effort to bring them out guiding them through a four kilometer labyrinth of treacherous tunnels and caves the head of the rescue mission described it as d. day and called the boys by the nickname of their football team when he confirmed the first extraction had been a success. i would like to inform everyone at home and all those who have been giving us support all along that after sixteen days today's the day we've been waiting for we are seeing the wild boar football team in the flesh now. the rescue mission took days of preparing and planning after the group was found alive by divers on monday crews have been pumping water out of the cave system resupplying the boys with food and oxygen and drilling to help open up their escape

adult and should never have been sexed mandatory life in prison. for sixty two for the american criminal justice system in forces our laws and keeps watch over us that person. who is watching the system. i'm joe berlinger and i've used my camera for twenty years to knock down doors and pursue the truth on t.v. just now we're going inside the american criminal justice system they come in from a judge from law enforcement to elected officials the court system the corrections to find out if justice is being served. or here in michigan we are looking at a very important issue in the criminal justice system namely should juvenile offenders who commit adultery it's like murder be charged as adults or be treated as juveniles in twenty nine states including michigan

a mandatory sentence for murder is life without the possibility of parole even for juveniles even as. young as thirteen. there are more than two thousand juvenile serving mandatory life sentences in the united states and over three hundred sixty are in michigan that's the most per capita of any state. but in two thousand and twelve in the case of miller versus alabama the u.s. supreme court banned mandatory life without parole sentences for all juveniles even those who commit murder. now judges would have to hold a separate sentencing hearing taking into account a list of mitigating factors before sending juvenile murderers away for the rest of their lives. in this episode of the system we'll examine the cases of two juveniles serving life without parole in michigan one years before the miller decision and one sentence immediately after thirty four year old. has spent more than half his life in prison for his role in the robbery and murder of

a convenience store clerk when he was sixteen. i've come to grand rapids to meet sal as defense attorney larry failon. what do you want people to know about this case it's not a typical case no no eyes that tip number one. which is tragic in and of itself that harm someone that young could could be involved in a murder. from sols perspective you look at him and you you meet him and you talk to him within minutes even you know some different was different than any other. defendant i've ever represented. in one thousand nine hundred sixteen year old drove his two friends here and robert mays to the west side beer cooler a convenience store in west grand rapids. waited outside in the stolen getaway car while the other two boys entered the store. here stole the cash register while

mayes shot and killed the store clerk sixty one year old rodney. a neighbor across the street witnessed the robbery and the following day all three boys were arrested and charged with the murder. joe berlinger we haven't met yet but how are you doing i'm good i'm good it's nice to meet and hear if you know mine is telling about the crime itself you know how that all unfolded and what your thoughts were. initially chris and robert wanted me to shoot the clerk and i refused to do that but i you know i agreed to drive the car and. robert volunteered to murder the clerk in my mind i rationalized that well if i'm in the car then that means i'm not there and so i'm not really a part of it. it was probably around eleven thirty the time we actually

arrived at the cooler. we're just feeling anxious really anxious the whole time we just lying to snipe you over with. the car you went into the store and moments later robert. and i sat there anything like time just like slow down i can't count the minutes i remember hearing two loud clapping noises. which then i knew was with the gun they fired. and then all of a sudden chris and robert rushed back to the car and then sped off. the next afternoon we were arrested at the bar they took their seats in different cars to the juvenile center we're all separated so they put me in a cell by myself and broke down it was terrifying just replaying everything over and over and over again and realizing. that what i did zero it was horrible and

that i was no different than robert who pulled the trigger i think that's when it really sunk in and mortified is a terrible thing. from the beginning the moment i met. there was a sadness and remarks for us about his involvement that many criminal defendants do not have many criminal defendants in the system blame everybody but themselves that wasn't solid off solved from the moment he was questioned he had meant it is responsibility didn't deny and didn't try to sugarcoat it and that's what i respected about despite the remorse that sallow felt despite the fact that he wasn't the person who shot and killed rodney corps and despite his age of sixteen under michigan law sallow received the mandatory adult sentence of life without the possibility of parole because he was the getaway driver because he

helped in the commission of this felony murder in michigan he's just as guilty as suffers the same consequences robert mays the shooter case that's the law. for decades many states have viewed life sentences to be a just punishment for juveniles who participate in murder but that is starting to change. deborah labelle is an ann arbor based attorney leading the fight to reform juvenile sentencing laws in michigan. this is one of the most deeply flawed parts of our judicial legal system what to do with children we have turned away from the juvenile court system in the concept of rehabilitation of children for no good reason. there has been a series of decisions by the u.s. supreme court starting to understand how children must be treated and punished differently than adults will your argument first this morning and nine six four six military says an alabama stevenson who to trust may be deported in two thousand and
