5:06 am
a tour of a session. this place bets on the team scoring either below forty eight all about fifty people. then. went out on monday. an hour would tell the bookmakers to passively list school being under forty eight because he knew the session to be fixed. it's very easy for a player to underperform and not score as many always want to get out and make it look very natural. to want something played thirteen times that india has criticized players for accepting bribes. some play the book the feeling that if i just fix a spot or i don't score in the normal i'm not doing something wrong because i'm not fixing a match. one player is being investigated by the i.c.c. full session six he said when it doesn't affect results and not so also a problem. comes or come up maybe after there was result to
5:07 am
some not me a lot of them are due to not be the well was going to go to got down the other night but by then that the are do you got them to. or no i don't know because both of them were not but i've come as a put on one lot of comments that there. were no other metrics yet but that i thought that me among by a guy says i'm going with the america. the first fix contained in them and all files is the ground the calls itself the home of cricket. matches between two of the world's leading international teams.
5:08 am
when al calls to come back to the saddam resorts in india and says the fix is for a tenth of a session. due to the gravity of the accusations and the prospect of criminal investigations we are not at the present naming the fixed sessions in any of the fifteen matches because that would identify the batsman suspected of fixing. this i know. i'm going out inviting you to. the betting that opens with a petition of how many runs the batsman school during that time to assess. our says the number of runs scored will be monday the low of the market prediction and in a second element of the fix the last move of the session will be a made no guns will be school. for now. are.
5:09 am
we showing them in our files to sports corruption investigators. crissy has worked that into paul. and he talks about the guy named a specific session specific time the specific outcome. even ends up talking about the farm life will be a mighty. holds both elements of the fix went down exactly as men now had predicted. to have the alleged facts fix up coming out was a pretty low market right to fold this hand over priced goods and sure enough it comes in from below that. feel barry has been to more test matches than any other cricket writer. he also said that the tenth of this bracket would be a maiden. i'm lo and behold there was
5:10 am
a made. no effort to cook up. if i don't know if you go up i think the book up to. the moment of. the massacre. messed up because. it's very difficult the full cost of the made over is good to be bold because the best from today's lee gets an edge of the level. so just go my way of accounting for it. and this is advise the international cricket council we showed in the full monella files including the names of those batting during a fix names that for now we are withholding. any time surprising to may one definitely wasn't because i know in the i.c.c.
5:11 am
best of gates and before and adam in an interview room for several hours. a couple of names i'm not entirely surprised about isaac but that's. probably because that's and cross over with some of the information i'm saying here that i've. been privy to in the past so it's not hugely surprising. that he is illegal in india yet there are more than one hundred thousand bookmakers across the country in the betting on it has been valued at more than sixty billion u.s. dollars even schoolboys in india are seen with their book is number on the mobile phones. it's become a part of the system has become a lives where people feel good about it. this illegal cook making operation is only known about by word of mouth. if you want to place a bet in india you go to
5:12 am
a friend who will introduce you. and you have an account set up. behind. the fairing tyranny. of the bookies give odds on a team scoring under or over a certain number of runs during a session of overs or hear. that cellphone did or rather than placed over the internet. no money passes hands additionally when the bet is laid the messenger brings you your money will collect so money it's all based on trust and knowing where you live if you don't cough up. there to be very very demanding accountability. some bookmakers where with max fixing syndicates to create a market for session best. they have created these session betting because to fix
5:13 am
up or to imagine a team's orders was to limbaugh's well you got the well with junk up as with you and you cannot control that. but there are enough fixing is only want to believe as one of the crew that that point is very easy. global television coverage has helped matchsticks spread the influence all over the well. in our coles calgary's book made is that the saddam resort in india to tell them the fix has been a ratings for a test match in south africa. in a scumbag school dk the man running calgary's cricket betting operation takes the cold. hearted.
5:14 am
following his usual pattern and our calls again after the captains of tossed a coin to see who blinks first if the fixing team did not but first the fix what happened when it was the term to panic. you know i don't. know and among. the women now is predicting how many runs to the score in particular i have is suggests a is so well embedded with play as it can dictate scoring writes. the now says the batsman will score low amanda below the market prediction by the end of the fixed session meaning he gets it right. there are some names there which
5:15 am
will just blow people out also. but some of the others named. i've only heard whispers about them and nothing really particularly concrete so it's a little bit eyebrow raising for me to see the names this is here. i have seen every sport. that there might be match fixing at the lower levels of this board but it doesn't touch the elite us that this is clearly provably wrong. we have evidence of key players such as hansie cronje for instance and others in cricket. in two thousand and six received a life found for taking both and a hundred thousand dollars for match fixes in india. then hunsicker on the episode happened those are the early days of bookies coming in and trying to influence players. cronje it was the cap. of the south african team i was

5:17 am
a professional sportsman but choosing to accept money in fixing. any player no matter how strong is no matter how righteous he is is always open at a weak point to be approached and people will keep on praying to your managers to your friends because they feel that they can influence the players of times you have players in every national team. in part to coles an unnamed english cricket. lot or. we think they're. not. and further evidence of menow is wrote in fixing international cricket you've got a large chunk of the history of the gang. wishes to be questioned. a journey of personal discovery my great grandfather he was a slave of the leapfrog. operating al-jazeera is james cameron explores his

here this is a number from august but just on the way still you. learned. gallons arrest also expose the links between illegal betting and bollywood stars. actor khan was arrested after he admitted betting on the indian premier league the world's first popular cricket tournament. interrogation of july also revealed a link to our investigation. who got on board us you've also got some right. now worth. hearing even the way. on the name of minnows company was confirmed by joe lockhart who the answer he knows when our goals were involved was that he's connected to. if you look softer the.
5:24 am
syndicate of. the company is named after him one of the world's most wanted men. is to move on. and many more. there over on behalf of the. company and much success of training. but they're also the most powerful and organized crime network probably the world has ever seen and their own touch. the indian authorities claim that the company is not just a criminal syndicate but also a militant organization that serves india's regional rival pakistan. is supposed to be in pakistan the pakistani authorities know exactly where he is. if the indian government really went after the company. is a powder keg situation for the range of. the company has expanded from its roots in
5:25 am
india. india is the absolute hub to buy in recent years has got really really big. is said to be trains and running around to buy you a. so he is protected to go about his business as no doubt about what. it was in dubai into. two thousand and sixteen that we first met my knowledge he told us the scale of the match fixing he was involved in. is more subservient not in all men's. notice and mention going to blurt it in at least six match you could fix the no revealed few personal details that did say that he travelled extensively. he showed us a selfie taken as a cricket ground it's very blah you must let this. people know
5:26 am
this is you. despite living in india is what's up just shows an allegiance to pakistan. and also paid to spend much of his time in dubai. a lot of the syndicate heads lost the match fixes are based to buy and that's where the orders are coming from. pretty its popularity is growing in the u.a.e. and so are the opportunities for the match fixes base that. the no files include evidence of several fixes in the emirates they were carried out during a series of test matches between england and pakistan. as usual monella calls the bookmaker beforehand. it's
5:27 am
a fix first session of ten overs. i don't know. the score will be below the market prediction for the fixed ten of a session and he adds a second part of the fix. a lot of thought of going on. the last of the. and will be a maid with no runs scored an hour's predictions our actors. this week said exactly as he suggests this is clearly somebody else since the evidence that you cannot reject. the next test match is in abu dhabi. and al coles to get the details.
5:28 am
but. it's a fix for a ten over session. they will score below the market prediction and no more than two rounds will be scored in the last over of the session. such changes in the pace of the game also and for spectators unnoticeable during a much lost in five days. ninety i was in and so applying manipulating won all to i was here all that. and. the ten thousand is we cannot actually scoring runs i probably wouldn't even think is match fixing. now calls the bookmaker again for a second fix during the same test match. now
5:29 am
calls back just before the start of the innings. you're not allowed. it's a repeat of the previous fakes a tenth of a session low score last over amanda. is retained. they often involving sign play as. the third test of the series is back in to buy. the rings in yet another fix.
5:30 am
the pattern is familiar a fixed session of ten overs the score below the market prediction and the last of the ten overs. once again the now as information is correct. and you've got to fix is in the same gang. and the fix in asia the three test matches. which is rather stunning. because test matches are not supposed to be a vulnerable to match faces us what the i.c.c. always told us. test cricket is paris pedestal is not tainted by corruption. the files include photographs as well as audio recordings. on the night of the fixing the third test in the following
5:31 am
a member of the pakistan squad was in the lobby of the ground tires hotel. he met a month described by all souls who was in the hotel at the time as a de company associate of mandela. is seen at the table talking to the man. the man then gets up and walked to another table where a second to say she's of menow is waiting. to shake the second man's hand and is given a bag. then p. is into the bag to inspect its contents. the photographs do not show whether he left with the bag. akmal did not respond to our request for comment. the pages of meeting on asa says. they know. they look suspicious. rings around bells for people who know about match fixing.
5:32 am
in two thousand and eighteen. well admitted that he'd been offered two hundred thousand dollars to carry out spot fix an offer he says he refused the i.c.c. is investigating. in two thousand and twelve string length post of the twenty twenty world cup where each team goals twenty overs per match. the world's top teams were staying in hotels in the capital colombo. so women now and associates. men are is seen alongside some of the world's most celebrated cricket stands. there is no suggestion that any of the players in these photographs are involved in corrupt activities. and she was in the background until such time as regards to the conversation this is
5:33 am
a tactic that's very well nine. pages and now in a society where top level players. here are. probably the greatest player. just disturbing that the most famous for playing cricket thirty virat kohli should have been so easily accessed by. an eleven hours. or got. extra india captain or got darren sammy of the. we've got chris the next question is can. now be targeting senior players. because a health crisis when addressing his own for one that tames going to win
5:34 am
a match particularly batting players who potentially could. significantly. alter ron writes cheering matches. is a very high price for people and then top it off we have n.d. visualize the strength coach just like. andy pickles said he was completely unaware of man hours identity and that no approach was made to the idea that he detested match fixing and the way it's infiltrated cricket. is no evidence that any of those players will captains are new i come from watch more than now but that was when else intention was if you can control the field apply the central fix. the i.c.c. is anti corruption you that deploys undercover officials to watch out for match fixes at major tournament is. now is behaving suspiciously and that is something which is i.c.c. sports and should be able to. notice and challenge him on. why is that allowed to
5:35 am
happen why the i.c.c. say allowing somebody to with a haze suspiciously around players. our investigation suggests that some players of the twenty twenty well were involved in corruption. the recordings reveal that minoa gave finished his bookie operation details of at least three fixes during the tone of. one was a match in the group stages.
5:36 am
and now is right yet again. we hear him try the school this is the session this is the betting market. he predicts absolutely vietcong accurately the outcome. the manana follow show that match fixing does not be an old formats of cricket including one day internationals. in which each side goes fifty over this. idea as a puppy as a six because as huge t.v. audience says here is amount of punters is very soon it's a twenty twenty also runs a space to be scored. run rates have gone through the roof in recent years again and all the punters are expecting that runs. in two thousand and eleven the o.d.i. will compass held in sri lanka bangladesh and india. the files contain the recording of a phone call made by minako to an unnamed player just before all the world cup's
5:37 am
dogs. are going at an. automobile. a forensic speech scientist has examined the recording which appears to show that the now is sending money to an england player. the analysis concluded that the recording had not been tampered with. enough. that what it. is that it.
5:38 am
even. in all. getting a boat but. getting it on. al-jazeera approach to play it believed to be speaking with the now he denied to the conversation took place and suggested the recording was a fabrication. the recordings include evidence of fixes in five matches during the two thousand and eleven o.d.i. will one involved england and south africa. i know. the name. of the new i'm out of town and i will be more neither. are you.
5:39 am
in the now as predictions were accurate. the full costs of the tent over of one of these brackets is going to be manned so it is only one run off and. that's the disturbing the. prophecy has been fulfilled exactly is this person does. french back out again are the details of the fix is always a range of the last moment there isn't a fire the fire. managed very very watery years after that now we know. there's no fix has been arranged and now cools calgary's bookmakers in the morning to let them know. we did.
5:40 am
it. not all of an hour's fixing work turns out as planned. them in our files also show that another fix was planned during england's series against pakistan in the u.a.e. . i doubt. that. the were in the event the session fix did not happen because the batsman scored one run too many. that could happen i suppose human error all the best guess for calcified edge when he's trying to defend. but even that was
5:41 am
just one of our it's quite extraordinary. the man our files describe fixes in fifteen international matches six test matches six one day internationals and three t twenty world cup games suggests endemic widespread corruption in the game across all formats the game. and our correctly predicted twenty five to twenty six outcomes in fifteen matches. who got a large chunk of the history as a game wishes to be questioned. we took them in our files to a u.k. based company specializing in sports betting analysis. after examining the statistics it concluded that the chances of the scores predicted by menow happening without fixing the matches. would be nine point two million to one. what is going
5:42 am
on how on earth do you account for these. eventualities all i ming out exactly is for. nine point two million to one. that is mind blowing. the analysis took into consideration the weather. condition of the wickets and previous head to head encounters at the same venue. for it to be. defies belief really. we also took the manaul files to another sports betting consultancy. it's calculation was based solely on statistical probabilities. it concluded that the olds of minnows full cost comes. with a thirty three million to one. for these outcomes to being fulfilled exactly as full cost is crucial to winning the lottery it's.
5:43 am
almost miraculous is it possible that the petitions could come true without the complicity of the player as. it is almost impossible to believe. that's now as a crystal ball or is some sort of time travel for everybody problems. as he is all of them if you have money. the cricket world is and not about match fixing when as a match fixing story breaks. don't ride says the administration and x. plaza very quick to try and stem to outside rubbish. and i think that's a serious problem because if you're not listening to the evidence then you've got no chance of actually cutting out as serious credibility threats the guy. due to
5:44 am
the seriousness of the allegations al jazeera has uncovered it is planning to provide interpol with a copy of the manalo files. this is a matter of systemic criminality and it deserves something far more serious than to be denied with so without rights scientists cannot operate in a wonderful sport. and investigation involving global over the last drawing and global sport fishing nice to have a coordinated law enforcement response. mcgregor's their money. in my view the first documentary has put so much of a break on the rails i to believe what you say to the millions of people who watch cricket innocently believe me but that doesn't mean he hasn't been replaced doesn't mean there's another one out there right now two or three of them now is out there oh well welcome to the game here.

a historic apology for one of british intelligence his darkest episodes there was a growing agreement that the libyans could be quite useful to the west seven years after the death of gadhafi al-jazeera world investigates western collusion with the libyan security services. gadhafi rendition and the west on al-jazeera. this is. a low i'm maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes saudi arabia's foreign minister says they don't know how the journalist jamal khashoggi was killed calling his death
5:49 am
a grave mistake this as president says turkey's plans to announce details of its investigation on choose day. in our other top stories now as a so-called caravan of migrants resumes its march through mexico heading for the u.s. border. and afghans are unable to vote on saturday get another chance after an election day which still forty five people killed in taliban attacks. are with all your school. fields to wrap up before me the one talking to. uncover new evidence over extensive match fixing at the highest levels of cricket that involves at least two dozen fixes in three be an international match its. saudi arabia's foreign minister has called the killing of jamal khashoggi in the
5:50 am
saudi consulate in istanbul a grave mistake. bears said saudi arabia did not know what happened to the channel list apparently contradicting saturday's official account that he died in a brawl he's president says his country plans to announce details of its investigation on tuesday shale reports from istanbul. on sunday turkish president wrote a paper. to that line for officially releasing the details of how she was murdered by. we're going to make it clear what happened to jamal khashoggi god willing on tuesday i will have a group meeting and hopefully by then i will be able to find out what happened earlier yet another narrative was presented by saudi officials who had on saturday finally admitted to killing the journalist albie it's by accident this time an unnamed senior official told the reuters news agency that special she died of suffocation after agents sent to negotiate his return to the kingdom put him in
5:51 am
a chokehold and covered his mouth after he tried to resist. by the afternoon the saudi foreign minister either drew bear had another story true telling us pro trump news network fox news that his government still didn't know how she died and insisting that crown prince mohammed bin sandman had no knowledge of the operation there and want to people close to him who were involved in this operation there were pictures of some security officers who may have been part of his security detail from time to time but this is normal security people who deal into the security details rotate among different officials close to mr conform and so having somebody in a picture does not imply that they're closed at all companies has denied this a compass is not aware of this even the senior leadership of our intelligence service was not aware of this this was an operation it was a rukh operation that doesn't explain however why this man madam or trip reportedly made four phone calls to bin said man's personal secretary during the time that's for sure she was being killed and if as debate sees the senior leadership of
5:52 am
saudi's intelligence service was unaware why then hasn't made that i.c.d. its deputy had been fired by royal decree questions too as to why send an autopsy experts if the plan was only to kidnap and why not quote a paramedic rather than dispose of the body and why would saudi officials have contacts to local criminals who specialize in disposing corpses unless they were intending to use them from the outset it seems that with every day that goes by the saudis have a different story as to how she was killed the. the only common narrative being that crown prince mohammed bin son man did not order this assassination nor was he aware of it but turkish officials as well as u.s. congressmen and senators say that's a lie what president heard one sees on tuesday in true sister or feel will not only prove crucial to this murder case but could potentially have an impact on the political future of saudi arabia. istanbul. well the murder of jamal khashoggi has gripped the world the narratives do vary but turkish
5:53 am
prosecutors have told al jazeera that evidence indicates his killing was planned saudi arabia the country accused of his murders changed his stance several times since october second that's the day khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate to collect routine paperwork but never walked out according to officials royal course advises tunney and saudis deputy head of intelligence ahmed a syria were responsible for sending a fifteen member hit squad to techie that was sent to me. what saudi arabia says happened next in turkey goes as follows jamal khashoggi entered the consulate that was an argument and some screaming members of the hit squad tried to silence him they choked him he died a panic ensued and so with the help of a local collaborator they dumped his body as a diversion attempt someone walk a shell g.'s close and left the consulate through the back door a false report was then submitted which raised questions about what the original order was to the fifteen member squad where they sent to negotiate kidnap or kill
5:54 am
saudi arabia says they wanted to negotiate because shorties return to the kingdom and the makeup of that squad suggests something more sinister because someone members of special forces it was a forensic pathologist a doctor and even a security guard of crown prince mohammed bin soundman or charles traffic is live outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and the interview from the saudi foreign minister today suggests more and consistencies in their account what might turkey's next move be. as you reported there we heard we've heard from. president or to want to. expect to he is confident that we will hear the results of the turkish investigation choose to what we do know certainly the stuff that's being leaked recent days too. the international media from turkish police all seasoned prosecutor sources we
5:55 am
