hello martin anything to have at the top stories here it out is there the kremlin says it hopes a summit between donald trump and vladimir putin will lead to quote some kind of step away from the current crisis in relations the u.s. and russian presidents a geezer meet in helsinki in a few hours from now but this a trumpeting downplaying hopes i don't expect anything i frankly don't expect i go with very low expectations i think they're getting along with the russians a good thing there is facile we want i think we're greatly hampered by this whole witch hunt that's going on in the united states the russian witch hunt i diplomatic editor james bays is in hell thinking but i'm sure president putin is very very clear what he wants to achieve in this among those subjects will be syria it looks

as though that long war in syria is coming into the final phases i think certainly the russians who have been active in a military way with the syrian regime in southwest syria will be looking for a way to try and bring the the war to a close and a way that that benefits the assad regime that will be among the important topics on the agenda here in fact the kremlin in the last few minutes said the talk on syria is going to be difficult because they know that one of the things likely to come up from the trump side is iran and the u.s. and israel for that matter pushing to get iran out of syria the first malaysian parliament under prime minister mohammed has been sworn in he ended sixty one years of control by the national front coalition that was led by analogy braszczok he set to. face trial on corruption charges floors louis has more from. the first

session of parliament more than two months optimal asians voted in a new government has seen quite a dramatic opening all but a handful of opposition m.p.'s staged a walkout before they were even sworn in they wanted to protest against the government's nomination of the speaker of the lower house they said procedure had not been followed and have asked for a fourteen day postponement of this parliament session that since walks back in but of indicate that this may be the subject of a legal action now the government's choice or candidate for speaker is significant he is a retired judge well regarded in legal circles and is not active in politics quite a refreshing departure from his pretty criticise that there's also a lot of hope riding on this new government that promised greater transparency in the way they govern this country as one of the first steps nine government agencies

will report directly to parliament including the anti corruption agency as well as the public prosecutor's office government agencies that previously been tightly controlled by the prime minister's office many people are also looking to this new government to repeal repressive laws including the anti fake means act passed by the previous administration just a couple of weeks before the last election widely seen as an attempt to not just stop debate but also the distribution of information on one and d.d. . to reuters journalists arrested him him on last year have gone on trial the pair was investigating the killing of ten ranger men and boys when they were arrested they've been charged with violating new moms official secrets and could face up to fourteen years in jail. iraqi security forces have killed two people at a protest against corruption and poor public services have been six days of protests across the southern provinces and a curfew is now place

. to me that you were. going to let me know. once the most corrupt country in the european union romanian society is engaged in an unprecedented fight against corruption. on the thirty first of january twenty seventh in the biggest protests since the fall of romania's communist dictatorship broke out in the streets of book arrest. the newly sworn in government had secretly passed to be creek that would grant its members immunity from prosecution on some corruption charges. hundreds of officials including businessmen mayors government ministers and members of parliament have been charged and convicted at the center of it all is an independent judicial body the national anti-corruption directorate for d.n.a. in early twenty sixteen the viennese chief prosecutor announced a sharp spike in corruption charges of course the mission is one that got the base on me and all the choosing but and the fact that the court of law new berlin not

she made. oh. they changed my mind parliament thought they could. be nice to. me mishti shites but i thought she said not all. independent collectives like the funky citizens have also joined the fight against corruption they are adopting the quirky beat approach. to. the.

thirty years of dictatorship has given rise to a healthy sense of humor in romania. in this spirit the two are focused on high level corruption has been created in bucharest. this. meat turned director. i mean of course. eric a much shorter book so. not just. a lot of.

my former self was. a young minister of agriculture in two thousand and seven sentenced to three years in prison for accepting bribes in cash and sausages they live in the. same time. and. no. one. really forced but in. the cash. who. supports the. mayor of poorest from two thousand and eight to twenty fifteen charged with taking bribes . but in general than. any other.

people are able. go out of. the inside out little bit to make the mayor of new crist sector three those fifty one million euros in back taxes. but it's amazing to me. mayor of the cruelest. sector five from two thousand to twenty sixteen charged with taking ninety million euro bright. meat but. all describe the same pervasive reality in romania gripes. the times are changing local government schools police stations and hospitals have a long history of taking bribes in exchange for service.

i i i. i. i wasn't there. i know of course what you aspire to push i try to go somewhere what do you look at my list of what are. in romania corruption extends well beyond the envelopes that civil servants receive to supplement their incomes at the highest levels bribes are replaced by briefcases and the misuse of taxpayers' money becomes more creative and the leverage touch of a demo money artist pull the dent. she can what does that. sound got us thinking because. kurdish forces told. us up until party they're

living. they example. and i got a. list of about this program. but. that the parliament in my age despair contacted me to ask what about their preference now and. then they are forced quite. to. you know they should all with their stepped up there but i said is that part of the force we need to get out of this vitale who taught him or what i said they speak out if i get that a lot. in two thousand and two the national anti-corruption director read or d n a was created as an independent judicial body to enact reforms required for romanians entry into the european union in a few short years the growing number of corruption revelations in romania have

implicated politicians from every party. thousands of scandals and shameless dealings have been brought to light. the d.n.a. is chief prosecutor it is lowered. her unrelenting determination has made her the central figure in the fight to eradicate corruption. telling an awful start. up and then. got a level director not too long on condition that and then. there's no means to alter mr porter's own premier. and downs of falsely investigators or to purchase one a. car or something. out of my car don't own your photo. she got a credit for the morton church a fox. not just the four thousand most or some time or a. daughter shall call or exist or john that are to put

a lot of thought it also seems. that can never put it on line you don't need change the focus of the court will decide the role for the good old or our shop the other can more than the other side of the. one might up in a few floors up at the d.n.a. a special investigations team is helping to solve some of the d.n.a.'s biggest cases he says you talk about. and that's the case for misuse. is no doubt that you have. actually. getting a few more this freedom out you might feel my freedom of the doubt by me actually i guess a particular. prosecutor. and police investigator nicole asia earned their stripes in the fight against organized crime. both highly skilled investigators they've unearthed key evidence leading to the prosecution of romanian

political elites. wife that's another. woman intelligent we just shot we too far to the time of year or two of them. but what i wish to go to it. was an. infection a diversion if the scar. takes we cut the little comment of ice if you cut. must lead. them to. the dark and what live action that. i put up with i she she and the other tell in the very. question. up with each arm will i have a wolf human history in about it or getting cheaper so. there is too demurely of i walk around to look but question fresh but this divine ship by me so full sits.

c.l.r. the less of it that's gotta be like the rest. of it sure of it looked at it that almost such a. couldn't buy new it down the side was lost but the good old war party meeker she was the salt of scots if you bomb at all but that's a protest you start to be able to load it up with just lost a lot bundy a. couple it. was plus to use up that show you have already delayed without the other stuff out there go up there was a bear market the progress of can do. without but i've devised sprouted one. or their corvette or they're. something. we can measure in the scheme of the post only bottoms of course i mean quite in jane just trust my own will be. done across and under something i must i must invest in your speaks up

a good kind and it's new to different here. and you multi-boot. you are going. right to remove the. united opposition noise in the bogs issue nor can the fuck to. be in the party doing so would be. had the poor would see it. but also on the wall as. a means thought your. year she also flog. as an independent journalist autobytel has investigated corrupt officials and closely followed some of romania's most notorious corruption cases. but you would believe that. if you pleaded with them you don't look at. anybody she thought was part of the control room but you took a beating. and we're going to beat you to become good but if you want to

see you simply got up at the start. of the month you know. my good day to. you. i was on a lot of. for a check of the old guard and president of the now defunct conservative party was convicted in twenty fourteen for buying property at sixty five times less than its actual value. but. in monaco meant to. me before and i. think. you know many. of these. awful awful stops. at the state. for.

my. remodel need to shift for me. as with other eastern bloc regimes the fall of the dictatorship provided an opportunity for party stalwarts to prosper. government funds where mr propre. did and many from the old guard to fill their pockets the dictatorship had given way to new levels of corruption. but of all nazi or model that you had extended wouldn't propagate that up only class top level science that on line. she . done for the other new normals it up watch it at that out test out only got a society and there's that are partially a outclassing existent with them spun out a fuckin way to start the winter politico della well not exist acquired of what i

thought was the simple technique i also see take notice of here couple below such as what is that nuclear cell scheme up the momentum carried out on money and to put . on your noddle bana then tried out a shutdown to note a banner pinkel me so openoffice than most of us support our could have gone d.t. and on one year my lesson totally versed as an additional state issue. when you come up of a was appointed to minister of justice from two thousand and four to two thousand and seven with the support of the european commission she prepared the way for romania's anti-corruption prosecutors many portland calendar that have to do it in a short time i mean haven't they got a closing and but two thousand four. so you have very few times. and you have and that was important for me it was a support to me for me to change. into short years minister michael bay's

doggedness in the face of intense opposition allowed her to launch a process of judicial reform. then a relatively unknown entity that d.n.a. came to prominence as michael the push for its right to prosecute white collar crime. but d.n.a. is first cases went relatively unnoticed by the press. but i think if we wait for your daughter will have. their father on one of the one main. yes the cup and told him about a new study out on when you get those in parliament that governmental pre-modern he stood out on when he signed. here at this question is that was he should. or even a prime minister indicted in two thousand and five i began as a descendant from the communist dictatorship have become one of the most powerful

men in romania just because you did it is. charged with embezzling one and a half million euros for his electoral campaign and taking a six hundred thirty thousand year old right wing company telling the press about a woman who does that analysis and all of outside analysis of it. but she seems almost half step. i think all normal. so to me when i last i recall norm. so explain the chair offical don't look. it. oh yes they were. just different they're going to. get it. just to talk to. you. but it is

a few years after these comments in twenty twelve the prime minister was sentenced to four years in prison for passive corruption and blackmail again the stuff his conviction that was a lightning bolt for society since then the corruption investigations have accelerated and the d.n.a. has achieved celebrity status in romania. it didn't take long for the media to catch on and to begin reporting on an unrelenting stream of revelations each day this is the scene outside the offices of the d.n.a. certain not to leave empty handed the media gathered to catch the drama in real time it's the most closely watched media event in the country. russia. photograph for now is creating the unique series of documentary portraits that captured the expressions of in battle delete what about. piece of footage that i was. looking for like.

i'm. just making it up ok why don't i check check check you. know i don't know i'm. in april twenty sixth seen a journalist exposed to hicks a former scandal the case cause public outrage forcing the minister of health to resign. you know what kind of seconds out the baby was. different than the neutral moment. which if that's. the case and i think the show exploded. it's more every day and the moment the record is that it's pretty clear that the water boils down to the wind if you. say wonderful but it was as if it is you're in for a life but then after that. if. she interrupted you i don't know what's up for the

world but actually looking into this if you're going to kind of get busy to the common among even real actually that i was you know used to deluded folk judge just a couple of the generals that they got as usual this stuff for just enough i was going to go to undress offering them can run with it but she said well doctors use these units that are some of the worst that could be you know what's used to get them down. on. them i think they said they might not have been there without the part of. the larger bodies but we still had a week ago she done up with you in mind you know coupled with my will to get out of the park the logic of law sort of a last bit is. i. think. a little. shocking but then tional me to feel many chilled out the broken already most and to be it's all on the pro corey thing mr young.

that so little taught us that happened in the wrong. couldn't go on the therapist libel. until concertino more proper girl but it's also lizzie she. will only been through a little sorry for the important delusion was a change of guard sort of thought of the sort all along with a cheap thirst and on top of it will you go your own lunch aboard. the novi plough the. on vapor important of in allow the. same or. similar thoughts on the pitot important than triple the best allowed years for fond. of us a fair bit of that is a lot of support and there off the chair where but they've set up. yes yes.

it will be important and interesting that will be the. denial or just. say this we could out of the times must know that. but. the. just and. there were. many. dippolito year would seem to bore out door that you know chill my book got only you don't win you lose. money love the family. but i don't have anything like. the fact almost half hearted out tipped out. supporting friends sadly geology diminish the lore economy shows if you know rome

does she transgress kalyani could i already. have a son. my. view. is about that actually he stopped a moment then into many more into. but i think i've improved. the way over the limit of the prison that to me. you are one of the richest men in romania sentenced to two and a half years in prison for paying a one million euro bribe released halfway through his sentence. in the. and was cool.

she. said but with with him what you've argued out there we're all know just by endemic that this is the. stuff you know the more grannies uppish and on them at the moment they killed as we were for. i had a briefing today from a man named steele who has been out there working with the security forces a veteran of al salvador as diety war sent to iraq you seem to be without portfolio doing whatever it is that he wanted to take interest and i guess about him counterinsurgency while this interview was going on with jim steele there were these terrible screams about pain and terror but what was his mission and what legacy did he leave searching for steel on mount is iraq. the nature of news as it

breaks all those thousands of women have reported free but other sexual atrocities in south sudan's war threats are going to fish and say that figure is likely much higher with detailed coverage nearly fifty schools took part in the drive each one responsible for the whole acting a different idea about school supplies clothing from around the world the faithful focal is still very new here but these players are very confident they won't be able to leave because what made people want to fight on the international study. the world's primary could change producing nation. is at the forefront of the war on drugs we're talking about serious organized crime as a country where reaching a critical point while some have made fortunes many others have suffered at the hands of this multi-billion dollar industry growth of this business will go on forever it will not change almost global policies do who are the winners and losers of this illicit trade snow will be andy's on al-jazeera.

hello again i'm martin dennis in doha and these are the top stories here it out is there u.s. president donald trump is now in the finnish capital just hours away from talks with police in that before he even arrived there he was playing down any hope of major success from his first summit with the russian leader i don't expect genocide i frankly don't expect i go with very low expectations i think that getting along with russia is a good thing but it's possible we won't i think were greatly hampered by this whole witch hunt that's going on in the united states the russian which aren't the first malaysian parliament under prime minister mahathir mohamad has been sworn in he ended sixty one years of control by the national front coalition it was led by now

who's now set to face trial on corruption charges two reuters journalists arrested him in amman last year going on trial the pair was investigating the killing of ten ranger men and boys when they were arrested if being charged with violating nehemiah's official secrets act and could face up to fourteen years in jail. iraqi security forces have killed two people at a protest against corruption and poor public services there's been six days of protests across the southern provinces a curfew is now in place a ceasefire between hamas and israel and girls are is largely holding following a surge of violence on saturday the un special envoy latin off says war was narrowly averted and he's urging all sides to deescalate the situation egypt's government has been accused of exploiting state of emergency laws to crackdown on opposition a report by human rights watch found the laws were abused before and after the march presidential election it accuses egyptian police and security forces of

since joining the european union and romania has been engaged in an unprecedented judicial overhaul special prosecutors have joined with journalists activists and romanians growing civil society to uncover and prosecute corruption at the highest levels. independent media groups like the rice project are playing an important role in exposing corrupt practices. rise is an information site that provides a platform for journalists activists and investigative hackers and. here activist journalists can sometimes uncover in a day what prosecutors would require years to obtain.

that the lonely that was for this was that the four months you know people dangerous are going to go then that that is because bonnie if i can watch a little money thing which. changed concord. follow the money for that technology policy like us investing in. commodities at the. last. week i'm. in recent years romanian society has begun to feel the impact of a growing wave of corruption convictions. emboldened by judicial reform people are increasingly demanding that the law apply equally to all i was the ongoing judicial battle has energized protesters in november twenty fifteen tens of thousands flooded the streets of bucharest to protest the deadly fire at the collective nightclub despite unsafe conditions the club obtained its operating

license in exchange for a bride. sixty four people mostly teenagers died in the blaze. protest persis prime minister viktor was forced to resign. mass protests are a growing trend in romania where forty years of state rule all but destroyed citizen action thirty years earlier and big gatherings in romania looked like this shows of mass solidarity orchestrated by the state called for justice gave way to resignation poverty and despair in recent years the pioneers of progressive change have claimed their place in society. is a historian and specialist in communist crimes he's also a famous activist in bucharest fellow. difficulty if you have one moment here. we should ask you what we've got because.

it's one of our petition you know what is he puts. forth that you know there are more than he says affordable. other than what all momentum will turn out just next year i was born called comical propositions for sure school. no matter which joke i'm sure to for the exam is a cool thing that it's going to sell you can watch them here or the nuclear weapons capability but that must take what they say one hundred ten times that you speak to defeat down to talk about what you look at it but i mean it just almost like a soft job. as with spain's in the those or the will keep by wall street movement in the us romania's protest movement is led by activists like me hyped all it takes is a few activists like him to ignite social action in darfur but will they put the state. will conduct a more gentle darker black on more of

a problem for the grab at birth she was just the name for this section is my list before the. i actually my thoughts on is down dizziness the condition of resources and. so bruce's. made it over to yell at me that she was going to get me in an old. ok and take. me. to. social activism on this level would have been unimaginable a few years ago. today targeted actions can take only a few hours to germinate and spread. for the rest of our choices have a whole slew of sentiment like that and it's a story about a more money back into the majority of them what we did there was

a daughter to pull me in all sorts of snow on to the set of the summer school you look for students like that a lot but it was it's best to just hold the cards which is an issue sure to show that the. that was. building the activist capacity of an entire generation is a bold project. the funky citizens aim to defy boundaries and to forge a path for civil society in romania. get this through the doors it's quite amazing to complete because they can this. constitution if you cheat and steal and it was just the most. part. in two thousand and twelve created the funky citizens to confront government corruption she hired hyperactive young graduates out of law political science and communications courses. a correlation of creative activists the funky citizens are

advocating for the growth of civil society in romania who want something that you know he's not going to go to that that you're going to want to me was a part of the indoor me days to come up more often. with to push off the topic this morning the day i wasn't born or you know want to sound plausible i think i did. not have an age. in the simplest legal that that this sounds an awful lot more income we. thought when you off with. n.g.o.s and civil society activists have steadily been gaining momentum the funky citizens have been working in a vibrant offbeat style one of the of their names. on the citizens who is bullish in the. us and them to the commission for the up to the issue but i'm certain they become something that's all stop will be gone she funkier for last month at

a fortune my surely my old firm because the. that is to awaken citizen awareness the funky citizens are addressing corruption with a sense of irony. is the creator of an unusual sight the bribe market which allows users to know the average bribe in a specific hospital town hall or police station exist. and. yes they should chip this site yes they can stop the cost. the cost the chines it. because someone because. their. perspective of what they. what they get. meant they. are. many features at the. last facet of each

a lot of what we say. many young graduates with specialized skills have chosen to work in these novel structures. here they can discuss the performance of the courts fact check political statements or analyze the latest reforms. by each. surfing part. of the example. for us a few thought they were. not the solid day or yet are here. i but corruption lives on even when high and mid-level officials are jailed public service budgets are also first though grown for corruption to address this also as

a country wide program to train advocates how to decipher public financing. i think i thought that was what it was i would. jump on a spit if it was just a few more of that. is ok so that's just as cool but the fact that just getting the support you become second is what you wanted to that's in the cold to my idea is the fucking force. and if this cell says he says we're not going to support the conduct and then moscow for them and is passed off and march yeah we can watch since you have to be done shooting the chief in and respond after every so i call that actually cut down for trash and that's going to. despite this flurry of activism the fight

against corruption is far from won. the government is at pains to recover stolen funds. the accused to decry stalinist trials and anger against the judicial system has reached a boiling point. the political climate has become so tense that's the chief prosecutor broached the issue on primetime radio almost sort of volatility known throughout the team to not included the loss of the now there's one of the got a knowledge of to this but arctic fox darkly in fear god is the. if your god is. the best one out of the garden i'd legitimate the dog to see the thought that in june jim i did take out the opposite of all mine also and feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend twenty need another mark david that he denies that indoor meat raised british of it it's you know it's you know the world's you're going to need one moment law possibility that they're pretty muddy don't i

was there or is each are long and. yoda. but what are the limits of the rich and powerful when cornered by justice. politicians have been looking to pass laws that would diminish the d.n.a.'s powers . we don't anybody did it but i did. do the. grieving three g. is there might be an action. as in reading this thread it was just been a very big. problem and. all the audience just came by little dog on his auto someone if you took all that and celebrated so not so long and i mean there's a couple of thoughts and i think this thing got a subtle such i thought that you feel that saying your doubts are eligible for the first vision extend the important things to forty but those are better than either

cause i don't seem to question your thoughts any part of the. law just the thought of the court of fortune. on the thirty first of january twenty seventh teen romania's newly sworn in government issued a late night executive order that would pardon politicians of some corruption offenses. the media quickly informed to the public by midnight twenty five thousand protesters flooded the streets of the capital that number swelled to three hundred thousand in the next days with hundreds of thousands more gathered in cities across romania. the government was forced to rescind its decree a few days later. as a check to the powers of governance the funky citizens count on an important ally the european commission. on your offer to meet them on the budget for now you. for all your case. since joining the e.u.

romania has been closely monitored by the european commission twice a year the commission issues reports that. measure its progress in the fight against corruption. no one know what it. will be cheney would look a lot. cheap if he did and got annoyed. or use out of the law books that. are transmitted from the lawnmower not very talkative bottle shop and you are just in one or more you me she was broken free and guarded. although not a change. of government trying to push the limits n.g.o.s and citizens mobilizing in the vigilant european commission this framework stands as the most

efficient safeguard in attempts to weaken the fight against corruption. monitoring by the commission should end by twenty twenty but that's romania have the institutional and political maturity to progress on its own. so seen on foot artist mike and his that all that other shit he thought it would. have been if you chaired the scene at on it but it was just a shrug she could read. and comment on this one. but out apart there could have goshen i took that saying i haven't are difficult she crept into such as an artist on quality let you know. it's early summer twenty sixteen and romania is about to elect new mayors romanian seem happy about the push for transparency but will they vote for change. many hope the election will reveal the impact that the prosecutors and civil society groups are having on the romanian public.

an equal shot adama has created the save bucharest union or the us to be. it's a campaign born of. civil society founded on hope in the democratic rejuvenation of romania. for this former mathematician the fight against corruption is a clear path towards the renewal of romania's political class. your own will. to. move outside the court law. where the. few simple shit that. you said. there were. enough to open up a book. of yours that. should have done to present his party as the

only recourse to a decadent political class a class that continues running candidates embattled by corruption scandals. on election day locked up has decided to follow a candidate he knows well one of the headliners of book arrests corruption to work . the mayor of bucharest sector five charged with taking a bribe of ninety million euros. up i don't want to look at us and get to put you know me so that if you don't shut up when you put out this month they go yes yes i mean it's going to scope out the shock to us. that he made what he could have been yes i'll take that. but i'm going with the voting to go against what i've been out with an awful cynical putting could see. that the for the market that. i think. well but a lot of us are going to begin to. look

look look look look look look. should i look on the more. visible to the steps that you wish to think. what do you. think. you really kind of think you if you're going to be taken this is nothing but a test of. time and i. think. people. don't want you to do that for too much of. what you.

would think was. good. because you don't think. that anybody. would think i think my question. please the funky citizens have banded with other n.g.o.s to spots plus. bulstrode they've set up a call center and sent observers to polling stations i don't you i wish all of us would have said this i think this or so so i thought. of him but when i think of it the less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant as far as for the threats. it. was the first blow being able. to. really clear. up the whole tense issue no rest of it should i be asked much of the she did this six years she wanted to be out of the way our friends that say you

take one copy didn't get what the one you got what that's a little nasty is the secret and i was single but i never asked. to. go faster than to feel that i thought it was fun to be that hard to get to know what i mean you're just a kind of a one hundred of the six years i've been the man who fucked up in just a minute or two much of what i wanted out of it i think. the day is coming to an end and to me to show that duns us meeting maids are awaiting the results. in a surprise people should have done see us the party has won thirty percent of the vote . it is the first time that the new political party has done so well in local elections but take the fight to profit. off. but if you. do i think you know i. really

think that it was. the funky citizens are taking stock of the day of mixed results even if mayor mike young van gurley whom photographed hasn't been reelected candidates with corruption cases have done well . was that was even. though you also thought about it over the phone thing did you figure. it. out on. a limb or some ellis' fer the candidates judicial troubles haven't stopped many
