dollars in bribes to members of the previous administration in exchange for contracts if you want was the first one to see the notebooks it was. a neighbor had a friend who was a driver who gave him a series of notebooks which described how corruption operated in the previous administration and he was supposed to reveal them only if something happened to his friend. carried out the investigation but did not publish the findings instead he took the notebooks to a state prosecutor so he could initiate an official investigation silence was crucial not only for the case to move forward but also for his own safety. i held back publishing because i believed much more needed to happen i only published it when the investigation was on and those involved were being questioned what it shows is that the history of corruption in public works is not unique to the previous administration but it did happen and it is this that brought christina again to court. on monday she tweeted that this is

a regional strategy to prescribe leaders of movements and political forces that have increased people rights and out thousands to leave poverty behind for many the corruption investigation is the biggest in a country that has failed to prosecute white collar crime over the years you know that. the reality is bigger than what we imagined we all knew that there was corruption but not that it was systemic like the notebook's revealed. scotland yard this addressing the incident that happened outside of parliament when a car rammed into a crowd let's listen at seven thirty seven am a silver ford fiesta was involved in a collision in front of the houses of parliament that vehicle collided with cyclists and pedestrians before hitting a barrier and coming to a stop two people have been taken to hospital while mom has already been discharged and one woman remains in hospital being treated for serious but thankfully non-life

threatening injuries another man was also treated at the scene but didn't require hospital treatment. the driver of the fiesta who was alone in the vehicle was arrested at the scene by armed officers who were already nearby. the man is in his late twenty's and he's been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses and has been taken to a south london police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be a deliberate act the method and this being an iconic site we are treating it as a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism command offices a search of a vehicle and no other weapons have been found of this time. at this early stage of the investigation no other suspects at the same have been identified or reported to police there is no intelligence at this time of further danger to london as all the rest of the u.k. connected to this incident. top priority now is to formally establish the identity

of the suspect and establish his motivation if we can. he is not currently cooperating. however as you would expect detectives from the counterterrorism command are making various other urgency inquiries to ensure that there is no outstanding risk to the public. anyone who thinks that they may have information to criticise the investigation to call as i weigh two hundred seven eight nine three two hundred seven eight nine three two and thank you for the many people who've already come forward because similarly if you've captured footage or images of this incident you can download those to us bar our website u.k. police an image of pale u.k. that's u.k. police him egypt you can. clearly we are treating this a non-problem and square as a crime scene so called is allowed to be in place for some sign as the

a crowd of people what we're hearing is that at least two people were taken to the hospital one it's in serious condition the rest do not have serious injuries but the key thing is that police say they don't know who this person is he's not cooperating they are treating it as a deliberate attack a deliberate and sudden they say they found no weapons in his car so far no motive but they are asking for the public's help with anyone knows anything if anyone has any video of this and sit in earlier but they're focused right now in just figuring out who this man is and we'll keep you posted on this. all right let's pivot now to sport with tatyana thanks very much of a shell ghana and nigeria may miss out on next year's africa cup of nations if the threat of a fee for it comes into force before next month's qualifying matches confound on tuesday to say that they've noticed both the gardai and and nigerian football associations that they could be banned from playing unless the country's government

a plot against the turkish economy. has more now from istanbul. turkish government has taken some measures in order to stop the developer ation of the turkish foreign still iraq the central bank increase the liquidity for the banking sector yesterday on the other hand today the investor ministry announced that they act awaited one point two billion dollars for the turkish industrialists production along with some other measures taken by the finance ministry however the business world in turkey warns that immediate actions should be taken without getting late without being late and one of the steps that is the demanded by the markets and international markets is the hike is the increase of the interest rates by the turkish central bank however according to the school of thought that the present hour don and his economic team represents this is impossible for turkey because they see it as a pressure by the international markets by foreign powers and turkey and they wouldn't bow down however the latest decline of the turkish euro has some impacts

on the european countries as well along with some other markets the turkish private sector has a depth of at least two hundred twenty one billion dollars and most of those doubts are law and. actually today european countries like half of it belongs to the european countries so a slight in the turkish economy and instead will it into turkish economic could also harm the european countries as well that's why european politicians including angle america have shown some support to turkey along with the russian president and iranian president and the prime minister of iraq however turkish presence are don still sees it as an economic wage against the turkish. against turkish economy and he says a firm political stance is needed in order to deal with it well the weakness of the turkish currency is starting to affect other emerging market economies the indian rupee hit a record low on tuesday morning india's currency has fallen around nine percent this year amid high oil prices and the whitening trade deficit under thomas has

more now from our hearty in the northeast of india. india's rupee suffered its worst one day will ever on monday when it fell more than one point five the same in a day about sixty nine point nine rupee for the us dollar on tuesday britain recovered slightly before pulling back again beyond the seventy three pace to the dollar that's the lowest level it's ever been now the recent moves the dramatic just continue a downward trend that's been going on all year since january the first the regime has foley ten percent against the u.s. dollar meaning these one thousand rupees were about sixteen u.s. dollars at the beginning of the about forty u.s. dollars today appalling rupie of course helps exports things like textiles nighty services but it puts the price of billions in for particularly oil and blacks of course leads to inflationary pressure and widens india's try to exit. the south african rand has also taken

a hit this week it fell ten percent before stabilizing on monday down to a two year low against the dollar south africa's central bank says it's not yet ready to intervene to support the currency. i think on such she was a financial analyst he says the falling lira is just one factor hurting these emerging markets what we're seeing is the reduction of dollars being supplied into the system the end of quantity of easing when the markets the global markets were flooded with cheap them three dollars everybody got terribly excited and particularly across emerging in front of markets and we've see a will lash of the. dollar has been weaponized whether it's deliberate or by design it's not clear to me but it's become a very very powerful financial instrument coerce a financial instrument in the hands of president trump and essentially the reprice in turkey has spilled over into other markets as you said the rand more than ten

percent yesterday that's an extraordinary popping drop unprecedented in the last decade and essentially we're seeing this sort of. spillover contagion effect yet the indian rupee it the south african rand and other markets and unfortunately i think that is an extreme example of a policy may. get he's going to have to raise interest rates by now it might be five hundred basis points if we go he's going to have to raise it by seven hundred fifty to bring the situation under control i'm afraid afghans living in the city against me are running out of food and water as a battle between the taliban and the military continues now into its fifth day residents say the taliban has control of more than half of the city at least four hundred people have died in the fighting but less. knees residents have been thrust onto the front line of

a war and they can't escape. the assault started with a taliban attack on the police headquarters early friday morning over five days it is morphed into a city under siege a well stocked taliban against the afghan military which has us is support two hundred seventy thousand people shelter in their homes running out of food and water without power or communications. dan rather see the government is not able to transfer the dead bodies some of them have swollen up i want the government to transfer the dead and move the injured to a safer place. the people of gaza a largely on their own the u.n. has no presence in the city the main hospital is overwhelmed and running out of supplies the red cross is fearing few body bags and bandages to its doctors the roads in and out a contested the taliban claim to control every access heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties

communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city resulting in water shortages and food is also reportedly running low risen in say the taliban controls more than half the city there well equipped with trucks guns and rocket launches. the taliban post victories on the twitter account of chick points of iran and soldiers killed on monday the military deployed one thousand more troops to gaza and. the government is defiant that it's still under their control with every day comes a new declaration of victory but. at the heart with the measures that have been taken by the government i can say with courage that within twenty four hours there will be a remarkable change to the situation in gaza a province. but another day has come and people report nor change other than diminishing russians of food and water both sides are entrenched disparate to are in the city. just one hundred fifty kilometers from kabul lies on

the motorway connecting the capital to southern afghanistan it's a high value the thousands of afghans trapped inside shallow ballasts. the police in london attrition a crash outside the house of commons as a terror incident a man in his twenty's was arrested by police shortly after he drove a car through a group of cyclists and pedestrians before crashing into security barriers at least two people were injured u.k.'s prime minister to resign mates we said that she's thankful for the immediate and courageous response from the emergency services. top priority now is to formally establish the identity of the suspect. his motivation if we can. he is not currently cooperating. however as you would expect detectives from the counterterrorism command are making various other surgeons inquiries to ensure that there is no outstanding risk to the public. and he would

join us live now from london so the authorities need to talk to the driver of this vehicle. he's not cooperate say and that will obviously make it very difficult for them but they will be trying to identify exactly who he is and what was his main thing this incident happened just after seven thirty this morning there was still a heavy police presence around westminster getting to the spot it's quite difficult because many of the roads are closed don't you may be able to see the red back in the distance the car was the only silver and eyewitnesses reported seeing the car coming at speed taking several people including a cyclist and then driving into the barrie is police were quickly on the thing but the man who police are now speaking to is being held in the custody of any police station not far away from here in south london and we're looking at footage of the

actual incident as you were talking to a sam i'm wondering if we can play that again just to get a better sense of what he did obviously one shouldn't speculate but it does look it does appear as if he very consciously drove does not have many slip road off to the left hand side as he would be so. in the vehicle that road that would take you past big bend in the house of commons. and it is. an area where incidents have taken place the close to westminster bridge where people were killed. people who will be very scared for i want to stop the course we don't know what his motivation was yet police are treating this as a terrorism incident to start with they said they were keeping an open mind but in the last few hours they are treating it as a terrorism. anybody who saw this. because clearly saying something like this would be very very frightening and i thank you. turkey and russia say they want to find

a solution to stop the fighting in the province in syria foreign ministers from both countries have been meeting in ankara turkey is against the syrian government's offensive to retake it lit the opposition's last major stronghold. says there's no reason to target the entire province just to root out groups. is only just a little sick of the needs of these areas of deescalation was set up under certain street conditions first of all there was agreement that the cease final arrangements do not apply to terrorists all the territory they occupy this agreement is about all the areas of deescalation but it is much more complicated because of the dominance of nusra in the area which is defined as a terrorist organization by the un xina has the latest now for us from beirut turkey and russia stakeholders in the syrian conflict both countries have influence in syria both countries support opposing sides but they have been cooperating together for some time now.
