as in one match. in some cases both teams to live for the fix historically in the last trials of a speech sixty much less and that will. stop. the cricketing world. and i believe. that's another game. where the now appears to have both teams fixed for him. is just mind blowing it has been exposed in such detail. and the game so i rushed. and now a story starts in and about the largest city in the indian state of gujarat. legal taint audioboo cooling to a source who worked for

a notorious bookmaker now is unaware that the recording is plenty. oh no i love i am not a on one of the underground. canal supplies informational match fixing to the bookmaker who then places bets a makes money on pre-arranged outcomes. they. get. the book make it was dinesh kalki a well known local gangster could operated for more than two decades from good to right. by his doctor who used to work for him. don't mind what i would not go and sata not sure those are noble goals i was poking to some public internet other government data. once looksee or is sued dahmer saw a cow he ran a lucrative gambling and much for. using operation is now locked and is

a suit. but for many it was the hub of an ancient criminal operation. the city's police chief was aware of calgary's activities. given his a call criminals. they were marketing a fair. yeah exactly to. the betting business was drawn from a series of rooms hidden from the public. or door. parted out dugouts up which couple said going to connect up are not good that is going to move them into. this cal he was arrested many times but always bounced back. they were right and the cops short given into the article shows that he has all that up to this with debtor to the cops are you to accept. you can found one. who would through their eyes in half an hour. do you know who this man.

is commonly known what party you would talk about mia you didn't for the money sort of a minute nobody is going to cut of the middle you know that but you can of the or be the what i look so to me to look at about it for the. kalki install software to record cool some countless placing bets this prevented all humans over who owed him money. he also recorded in the know calling in details of the fixed matches the cash of these recordings has been obtained by all to see there. are no. more no more to do it for pakistan you know it's enough of the value. of osama as a metric what a messed up. top there. are. you know. you're

. not or do you feel that a fire or the ability to carry i mean you know this company if you know if you tell us me yeah you know thought you got cause on me you know somebody was to watch this . because look you got my tent up. something this congress you know has come because it has because of them but. today finish come back dk is wanted by the indian police and is believed to be still involved in match fixing. meth memoir not of a would not part of the business methods have been what new way. or dramatic single stuff law i want to not. announce which may mean faulty what is known as spot fixing manipulating a small part of a match. the favored session fixes

a type of sport fix in which players underperform during a specific period of overs this session to focus can be at any point during a team's innings and just not to terms of the overall result. says any factor because more and more fast. one is six balls delivered on. the spot fixing session is usually six eight or ten overs it's just i'm done means either a loose score in the session or a maximum of two runs in the last over of the fixed session. maddalena black. block thought i'm not a. bookmakers give alts on how many runs will be scored by the end of a session. for example cookies say forty eight to fifty runs will be scored during an eight of a session. punters place bets on the team scoring either below forty eight all

about fifty people. went out on monday. an hour would tell the bookmakers to pass heavily a 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 players are but 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 you is also not so also a problem. comes or come the sort of move back to the business not just

i thought 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 lot of comments if i. were no other metrics yet but that i thought that me and one 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. and al calls to come back to the. saddam resource in india says the fix is for

attentive assessing. the use of 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 know. the betting that opens with a particular how many runs the batsman school during a tenth of a session. now 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 bones will be school. for now.

we've shown them in our files to sports corruption investigators. crissy as well into paul. and he talks about the guy named a specific session a 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 manalo had predicted. we have the alleged back fix of coming up with a pretty low market right to fold this hand over priced goods and sure enough it comes in one run below that. she'll barry has been to more test matches than any other cricket writer. he also said that the tenth of this bracket would be a major. i'm lo and behold it was a made. no records you can find out.

if i don't know them if you go up i think but. upon some of it. off the cuff messed up the phone book off. it's very difficult the full cost of the made over is good to be bold because the best from today's the just on the edge of the level. so just got no way of accounting for it. and as advised the international cricket council we showed him the full monella files including the names of those back to enjoying a fix names that for now we are withholding. anytime surprising to me one definitely wasn't because i know in the i.c.c. 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 some crossover with some of the information i'm saying here that i've. been privy to in the past so it's not hugely surprising. betty is illegal in india yet there are more than one hundred thousand bookmakers across the country and the best thing about it has been valued at more than sixty billion us dollars even schoolboys in india are seen with their book is number on the mobile phones. to become a part of the system has become a lives where people feel good about it. this illegal bookmaking operation is only known about by word of mouth. if you want to place a bet in india you go to. a friend who will introduce you. and you have an

account set up. as a man in. the seventh year in a. bookies give all go on a team scoring under or over a certain number of runs during a session of overs for the year. that cellphone did rather than placed over the internet. no money passes hands initially 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 imaginary. some bookmakers where with max fixing syndicates to create a market for sessions betting. they have created these session betting because to fix a book to imagine a team's orders was to limbaugh's well you got to 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 to match fix the spread the influence all over the well. in our coles calgary's book make 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 scumbags called dk the man running caldas cricket betting operation takes the cold. hearted. act. 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 turn to panic. you know i don't. know and among. the women now is predicting how many runs did you score that particular i have is suggests a is so well embedded with play as if you dictate scoring rights. 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

will just blow people out also. but of 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 ball. that there might be match fixing at the lower levels of this board but it doesn't touch the delayed us that this is clearly provably wrong. we have evidence of key players such as hansie cronje for instance and others recruited. in two thousand and six received a life at home for taking both and a hundred thousand dollars for much fixes in india. when hunsaker on the episode happened those are the early days of bookies coming in and trying to influence players. cronje it was the captain of the south african team i was. not honest and i apologize unreasonably. as also captain spam

volved. as it currently being the most famous of all. more recently mounted ash hole for bangladesh captain was banned. in the south of the us i will it's a ghastly you have on me but i've been to finding someone to say that they haven't . been to see anybody. what's the mccrum one of pakistan's greatest places was another captain tainted by match fixing allegations as was india's former captain muhammad as a routine. in two thousand and ten three pakistan internationals accepted two hundred thousand dollars to underperform in a test match in england. four years later lou vincent the new zealand batsman admitted fixing matches are the views my position as a professional sportsman by choosing to accept money in fixing. any player

no matter how strong is no matter how righteous use 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 the times you have players in every national team. in part to win all calls an unnamed english cricket a. lot or. 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. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking news stories they're listening post as we turn the cameras on the media focus on how they were called on the stories that matter the most

al-jazeera investigations continues. the manaul files shed light on the role of organized crime in cricket match fixing . one hour describe the people he worked for the company. he's going to building almost. all more. there is some schools off on the phone six zero zero zero company no one on one of the yes or no have you guys who say oh see it's obviously always this. sharma is an indian detective tasked with fighting organized crime. days after the broadcast of our first investigation sharma confirmed the identity of the now us company. get arrested six people in

a city near by they've been charged with organized crime offenses including illegal betting. among them was a high profile match fixing. to move. is the first from mumbai or the order. of the biggest group normally. differently there would be three. the rate under interrogations of the truth of information refraining mobile is some cars left. here was the number one school for not going to stop but just on the way to leah learned. john's arrest also exposed the links between illegal betting and bollywood stars. actor 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 soon got on board us you've also got some right. now we're. yet ready really. on the name of the knowledge company was confirmed by july through the uncertainty of knows when our new goals will inform us that is connected to. if you look softer the bidding syndicate of. the company is named after. one of the world's most wanted men. who salute you. and many more. they're 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 they're on touch. the indian authors he's claimed 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 india. india is the absolute hub to buy in recent years has got really really big. name 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 and. two thousand and sixteen that we first met my knowledge he told us the scale of the match fixing he was involved. is more subservient but not enormous. it is and. going to lose. it in at least six minutes you could fix the no revealed few personal details that did say that he traveled extensively. he showed us a selfie taken as a cricket ground it's really all your money and this. ephemeral 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 when al calls the bookmaker beforehand. it's a fixed 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. thought of going on. the

last of the. will be a maiden with no runs scored and i was predictions are actors. said exactly as he suggests this is a clue somebody else since the evidence to cannot reject. the next test match is in abu dhabi. to get the details. 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 all subtle and for spectators unnoticeable during a much lost in five days. ninety i was in and so apply i. want all to i was here all that. and. protecting his work and not actually scoring runs i probably would even think his match fixing. now calls the bookmaker again for a second fix during the same test match. now just before the start of the innings. you're not alone.

it's a repeat of the previous fakes a tenth of a session low score last over amanda. the fix is retain. that for me and i there often involving sign play as. the third test of the series is back in two by. the noddings in yet another fix. the pattern is familiar fix session of ten overs the score below the market prediction on the last of the tenor of this o.p.m. a. once again in the now as information is correct.

and you've got to fix is in the same gang. and the six nations three test matches. which is rather stunning. because test matches are not supposed to be vulnerable to match faces us while the i.c.c. always told us. test cricket is purest pedestal to stop tainted by corruption. the finals include photographs as well as audio recordings. on the night of the fix in the third test in the following 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 d. company associate of managua. is seen as a table talking to them on. the mound then get up and walk to another table or

a second to say she is of menow is waiting. shakes the second man's hand and. given a bag. then piers into the back to inspect its contents. the photographs do not show whether he left with the bag. acknowledge did not respond to our request for comment. the pages of bound meeting. they know. they look suspicious. rings around bells painfully about. in two thousand and eighteen acknowledgement that he'd been offered two hundred thousand dollars to carry out sports fix an offer he said he refused the i.c.c. is investigating. in two thousand and twelve three lanka close to 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 antisocial. men are is seen alongside some of the world's most celebrated cricket stars. there is no suggestion that any of the plays in these photographs are involved in corrupt activities. and she was in the background until such time as you guys in a conversation this is a tactic that's very well nine. pages of now and his associates with top level players. here are. probably the greatest player. is disturbing that the most famous for playing cricket virat kohli should have been the reason they exist

. bernie. until below us. boys got. excel india captain got down sammy of the. we've got chris go up the explicit of his character. and now be targeting senior players. because a health crisis when addressing his own thought what that aims going to do in a match particularly batting players who potentially can. significantly. alter ron writes chairing matches. is a very high price for people in the top or off we have n.d. visualize the strength coach and a selector. and the pickles said he was completely unaware of man hours identity

and that no approach was made to the idea that he to test 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. anticorruption you that deploys undercover officials to watch out for match fixes at major tournament. now is behaving suspiciously and that is something which is i.c.c. sports and should be able to. notice and challenge you know. why is that allowed to happen why the i.c.c. say allowing somebody to the hague 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. and now is right yet again. we hear just 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 rans expected to be scored. run rates have gone through the roof in recent years again and all the punters are expecting those runs. in two thousand and eleven the o.d.i. will comp is 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 the world cup's dogs. are going to. and. then on. a forensic speech scientists has examined the recording which appears to show the

now is sending money to an england player. the analysis concluded that the recording had not been tampered with. enough. that would have. put. it. even. in all. getting a vote but. getting it on. that. al-jazeera approached the player believed to be speaking with the now he denied

that 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 cup one involves england and south africa. i don't. have an ada. to do i am out of town and i will be more not into. the now as predictions were accurate. even 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 the. french back out again are the details of the fix is always a range of the last moment there but it isn't but i think they are. very very watery years after that now we know. there's no fix has been arranged now cools calgary's bookmakers in the morning to let them know. we did. 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. it could happen i suppose human error all the best guess for calcified heads when he's trying to defend. but even that was 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 then are correctly

predicted twenty five to twenty six outcomes in fifteen matches. who got a large chunk of the history of the gang 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 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. its calculation was based solely on statistical probabilities. it concluded that the of minnows for cars comes good. with thirty three million to one. for these outcomes to being fulfilled exactly as full cost is crucial to winning the lottery it's. 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 laurie some sort of time travel. reality problems for aziz

all of them if you have money you will do everything. the cricket world does 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 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 or without rights scientists do not 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 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.

from flowing the island winds to an enchanting desert breeze. hello there that's a big old beefy showers over brazil at the moment on the satellite picture you can see these bright white areas of cloud stretching all the way down towards the coast and they are giving us some very heavy downpours there move northwards recently though so if a parable is more or less draw i warm to an ascension of it twenty eight twenty nine degrees for some rio we're up at twenty five there are showers will disperse a little bit as we head through the day on monday still want to pokey ones that and those around the coast look pretty lowing for me to refer to was the north am force from panama all the way up towards mexico there are some pretty heavy downpours here some places reporting well over sixty millimeters of rain a more showers are expected over the next few days elsewhere towards the east these islands should see plenty of sunshine and just one or two showers i think they'll

a witness documentary on al-jazeera. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so many times when you call home al-jazeera international bringing the news and current of films that matter to. al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this news hour from al-jazeera santa maria here in doha coming up. this is the most horrific crime scene i've seen in twenty two years of federal investigation our government has charged over one of the worst attacks against jews

in u.s. history sri lanka's prime minister refuses to leave his official residence in a deepening political crisis turkey pushes for the suspects in the jamal khashoggi murder to be extradited but saudi arabia insists that we put on trial in the kingdom and the far right a former army captain nicknamed the trump of the tropics casts his vote as polls open in the second round of brazil's presidential election and i'm here to stand with all your sports tributes are being paid at leicester city football club after a helicopter crash at the stadium in which the club's billionaire tie owner was believed to have been on board. so a suspect is in custody in the us after a mass shooting during a baby naming ceremony in a synagogue in pittsburgh eleven people were killed and four police officers are among the wounded. right.

off former automatic weapons gun shots are all right. forty six year old robert bowers is now facing twenty nine charges over this attack at the tree of life synagogue if convicted he could face the death penalty the shooting has set off renewed political debate over gun control and hate speech from pittsburgh this report is from andy gallacher. around the country evening vigils to remember the victims of the pittsburgh synagogue shooting gunned down in an act of hate odio from first responders captured the horror as police arrived on the scene police learning the gunman's potential motive to kill as many jews as possible inside the tree of life synagogue. the shooting suspect has been identified as robert powers a man in his forty's not previously known to police yeah actions this person took

today and were ready for this is the most horrific crime scene i've seen in twenty two years with the federal bureau of investigation minutes before the shooting was allegedly blamed on social media a jewish nonprofit group for bringing immigrants the united states he wrote i can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered screw your optics i'm going in his post also stated a dislike for president trump a feeling made clear was mutual as he called for the suspect if convicted to face the death penalty we must stand with our jewish brothers and sisters to defeat anti-semitism and vanquish the forces of hate and those seeking their destruction we will seek their destroy. hate crimes against jews and worshippers of other faiths are not new in the united states in two thousand and twelve six were shot and killed at a sikh temple in wisconsin in twenty fifteen nine african-americans were gunned

down at a church in charleston a year later twenty six were killed at a church in rural texas following the pittsburgh attack police around the united states increased patrols at synagogues and other houses of worship as americans mourn and it takes leadership to stop this and our leaders are not stopping at it's too much we're a civilized society but the u.s. anti-defamation league says hate crimes against religious groups are on the rise and the pittsburgh synagogue shooting now considered the deadliest attack on jews in american history. signed a gallic of that report and he's live now in pittsburgh and he since you sent that report what new developments that come through. well of those twenty nine charges we've been able to glean some more information we know that the first phone calls came in on saturday morning around ten am we know that the suspected shooter's shooter baez was inside the synagogue for about twenty minutes firing

indiscriminately we know that eight of those people that were killed were men and three women when the police did arrive on the scene by was was actually leaving the synagogue retreated inside to the third floor way and gauged with officers there was fired between the police and bowers four police officers were injured two other congregants were injured but among those twenty nine charges thirteen of them are considered religious hate crimes all of those charges altogether mean that if found guilty could face the death penalty but really this is a community now in deep mourning this is one of the oldest jewish communities in the united states this synagogue about one hundred years old it's really hard to think that not everyone you know everyone in this community has been touched by this tragedy the victims have not yet been named we're waiting for a press conference to happen any moment where perhaps those victims will eventually be named but this is really one of those issues that again brings up gun crime that

again brings up hate crime just a few days ago man was arrested in florida for sending a dozen pipe bombs to critics of president trump so this country is divided as always but this event in particular really highlights what those divisions can mean and would these be election issues now and then given we've got midterms in got it's about one and a half weeks now. yeah i mean this again those issues that come up hate crimes and gun control i'm not sure that's going to affect people's vote because this is already a divided nation i think those people on the left will be even more determined to get out and vote on november the sixth for those all important midterm elections and the people on the right will still back. against going against any kind of gun control when you think about the events that i alone have covered over the past year las vegas the polls nightclub shooting marjorie stoneman douglas high school

and of course that attack in charleston in which nine african-american worshipers were killed nothing has really changed in this country this certainly been no gun control not too much done to tackle these kinds of hate crimes so if anything i think this will just galvanize voters on both the left and the right who are very divided at the moment to turn up to those polls and try and make their voices heard meanwhile here in squirrel hill this is a community that is now in deep deep mourning and incidentally they did actually at the synagogue a couple of years ago hired a former f.b.i. investigator to head up their security they practiced for these active shooter scenarios in which what they were trained what to do but i think essentially they were not expecting this to happen this was a baby naming ceremony a brisk as it's known in the jewish community they think around twenty five family members were inside the synagogue when this attack happened and we think that bowers had an a r fifteen assault rifle unfortunately that is the chosen weapon often in these cases and he had several handguns and he was registered or known to

have had more than twenty weapons and someone who took to the internet reportedly on a regular basis to rants and make anti-semitic comments but he wasn't known to police before this happened but obviously none of that really matters to this community at the moment they are really in shock and again coming to terms with what was a horrible horrible hate crime here on saturday morning. from pittsburgh they're live with and thank you we're also waiting for a news conference from local police as well they're preparing for that in pittsburgh and soon as that happens we'll bring it to you. moving to other news sri lanka's president through policy to santa is accusing the sacked prime minister of enabling corruption and mismanaging the economy in an address to the nation running become a singer insists his dismissal was illegal and refuses to leave his official residence he wants an emergency session of parliament to prove he still has a majority the speaker of the parliament has also refused to endorse for christmas
