you must realize that this current government you know when they were running for office. they had already. made this political narrative. that they were going to take action against me so in that sense they have to fulfill you know whatever political promises they made leveling charges is one thing but whether the evidence a deuce later on will support the charges that's another matter so tell me what was your relationship with joe not. my relationship with george bush was on the basis that he was going to promote you know investment from you know the middle east that would help us ensure that we can achieve a good strategic relationship with such a key countries and he was very close to the royal families particularly in us as well as in saudi so i saw him as creating value. you know that could help us
1:33 am
that was the main reason but here are six investigations going on around the world into corruption related to one named what what does that tell you about what went on yeah there were there were things that were wrong in what may be but don't stop at this. law but get others involved as well because they are international figures who are probably allegedly involved. but they must also be investigated they must also be question who benefits it will really benefit from the whole one. issue this is what i would like to know too well some people would say that you benefited for example that money that the six hundred twenty million dollars that you returned. back into the account of juggalos close business
1:34 am
associate in singapore twenty seven million dollars worth of that was was used to purchase a twenty two carat pink diamond pendant for your wife what do you say in response to that that's first i'm concerned there was a gift. made by shame on seoul and for an international audience which you please explain the sherman saw is sherman so is the brother of the crown prince cher mama been so they call him and visit and we know. that joe law was a close associate of shimbun saw and the others in but this was in here from the trail no notes below let me just finish that please there was a q. given by szymon so. subsequently my wife. did not receive it so best method dispute what happened to the big letter thought this
1:35 am
investigate let's not get jarman of justice the united states department of justice traces. that money to the purchase of that pink diamond pendant and they have conversations between the jeweler your wife joel clearly. giving evidence that he bought your wife a twenty six seven million dollar a pink diamond with one indeed money you know as far as i'm concerned when it was presented initially to me it was presented as a gift from months ok if i knew it was coming from one money i wouldn't accept it at all but mr who would know where it came from who paid for it you know we would have given that your annual official income is less than seventy thousand dollars a year were you not concerned that this was going to look really bad. there's
1:36 am
a culture in the beliefs that expensive presents are given but twenty seven million dollars human we did an order of the money ok or the president and i can tell you what your wife or even know if i knew of it because she'd been with joe no to the jeweler and and looked at this tried it on there are these records of all of this how do you account for the fact that she didn't know or you didn't know the value of this pink diamond i really didn't know the value of the pink diamond i mean there could be some degree of estimation of the value but my new head of government we have received expensive presents from other monarchs in the region. and that is the culture and that culture still going on and i do know that you know in other countries of course there is a regulation that you have to declare a presence but in malaysia there is no regulation well i understand that there is
1:37 am
there is a if you if a politician in this country receives a gift with more than one hundred twenty u.s. dollars then they have to declare no that's according to the malaysian anti corruption commission there is no door relating to gears from dignitaries from other countries because i do know that my my producers also receive excess expensive presents but there is no. regulation for it to be declared or handed over to the government let's go to another member of your family your stepson who is a close friend of joel. around twenty twelve more than two hundred million dollars from one aim to be found allegedly was transferred into his singapore account. he went on to purchase a thirty five million dollar condominium in new york a seventeen point five million. a house in beverly hills and
1:38 am
a forty one point eight million dollars london townhouse and fund a hollywood blockbuster wolf of wall street what did you make of his newfound wealth given that he'd only had a couple of jobs in banks he never produced a film in previously he had no experience in that world. what do you make of his newfound wealth. sort of being a movie buff even though let me just finish it because it has always been a movie and his ambition was really to go to the movies. so when it happened that when we visit that would be. that mama. told him in my presence that we are going to invest in your movies ok so we assume that whatever investment is going to come from. so. it was
1:39 am
a commercial richmond yes but i mean he's bought how many like almost a hundred million dollars worth of property around the world that's not funding and movie that's funding a lifestyle where did he get that money from the united states department of justice alleges that that money came directly from one empty baby where everybody assume that the money was coming from the u.a.e. side again when you are being presented with that sort of you know you cannot look beyond it because you would have no you just assume that the money has come from. you notice the people who want to invest it isn't it important as the prime minister of this country to know where the money comes from so that you know that you're not going to eventually be compromised so why didn't i mean it seems to me that you're constantly saying you don't know where the money came from yet at the
1:40 am
same time one name d. b. was going into massive debt you know as far as i'm concerned i didn't know i didn't know it was one m d b's money because mama crown prince said we were we are going to invest your stepsons movie so let's not do now acknowledge that it must have been one in the money given that the us department of justice is moved to see your stepsons properties and he's also made a settlement of sixty million dollars. do you know except that he was the beneficiary of one m.t.p. money as far as i'm concerned it was civil. settlement and there is no admission of guilt that that is the position because if you think that it was settled because this one to be it presumes that he had knowledge of the money coming when he had no knowledge and i know for sure that you've had knowledge he wouldn't have accepted
1:41 am
it he accepted it because it was a load by the by the. family to him especially from the country what do you what would you say to people who say they don't believe that that you're actually covering it all you know i mean i mean in all honesty that that's the truth i mean i mean i cannot fix. there's nothing i can do people don't believe it but that's on the street because my track record as prime minister . i can't stand by because this country has developed by leaps and bounds during my tenure just going back to when the police raided and we were supposed to talk about the economy we are going to but these do not know i'm not talking about you know i don't know this but listen there are just a couple of other allegations that i know no one to openly not talk well i tell you i do want to ask you about your decision you know you have recently called for the
1:42 am
reinvestigation of several high profile murders to be to be reinvestigated that you know your people say that you are ok i ask that you all know your very form of this yet yes well you've recently called for the reinvestigation of several high profile murders that many say you are linked to the murder of alton to the sheriff in two thousand and six her saying in twenty thirteen and kevin reyes in twenty fifteen why didn't you reopen those cases when you were prime minister put it this way it went through the courts you know in a case of. went through the court at the highest level of the federal court so i have been cleared entirely by this legal process and if you ask then she police. he will he will. testify he will very far that
1:43 am
i had no involvement whatsoever. i was deported from malaysia in in june twenty fifth dane while filming a story about the murder of alton to your charge why did you have me deported for what centrally deported you you're a nuisance. because as far as i'm concerned making lives fabricating lies it's not something that we want to tolerate in this country but i wasn't i was ignoring lies and i was actually seeking an interview with you i was and i have no political agenda in this country i was just trying to understand what we are both well the way you've been asking is this do it in your mind i was already involved i did all the was saying nothing to do with to you know nothing so just because i was filming a story about alton to use murder in this country that was you know was decided by
1:44 am
authorities didn't want things to be stirred up in this country i leave it to them we understand that generally of came directly from the prime minister's office you well if i have not backed you to a decision but as far as i'm concerned i totally totally innocent of the case absolutely and the one indeed before we were to take on the others so we're just we're just so much english time otherwise i'm going to walk in just one thing normal there will be so many people say normal or ok. if you want to talk back on me i'll sit down but when we do talk about someone you're not being fair to me you know if you want us by the economy i mean you are you are flying seeing serious charges on us country and people look i've done that i did on my right arm i'm not going to stand anymore because if you want to us by economy i'll talk but when asked about it let's talk given what's happened to you let's let's talk about your legacy ok and so i'm
1:45 am
a legacy i'm from trying to do is going to talk about the legacy of yeah what do you consider to be your legacy as prime minister of malaysia. are have. steered. the progress of this country i'm very proud of my achievement my government's achievement first of all in terms of the stewardship of the economy for six years we exceeded the growth of the four so called tigris korea taiwan japan and singapore i'm proud of the chief and so she how do you feel about the fact that the one im d.b.'s scandal has has stunned that legacy to a certain extent i regret you know and. i wish there was no one to be sure whatsoever joe like your own you know you can i just ask you about joe logan as it is
1:46 am
important you know you know just enough it is i want you coming by you john you know why don't you know just you he said is missing a bit but mr najib it is important because people are asking he is being charged with money laundering and he's inviting arrest your facing arrest he's not i think it's really important that you talk about how you feel about that no i mean but let's let's then take action against your i mean i am i'm not in the government now that the government pursuing this is off i'm can see a bit more do you think he is abiding interest your view has value not in situ what is new i have got in touch with him anymore but he hasn't spoken out in support of you this is going to respond to you do you want us to follow up with him what you want to believe it will a do you blame him for anything it's not whether it's i said my position has. been. a process with all these us force. you to because when was the last time you

investigators in the g. murder case sri lanka prime minister refuses to leave his official residence and demands an emergency meeting off parliament's the far right former army captain nicknamed the trump of the tropics has cast his ballot as brazilians vote to choose a leader in the presidential election second round. police politicians and leaders from pittsburgh's jewish community have been giving more details about saturday's mass shooting at a synagogue investigators say the attacker was carrying three high powered weapons when he opened fire on people attending a religious service off the eleven people killed six of them were over the age of seventy he spoke of genocide and desire to kill jewish people before turning his guns on officers who responded to emergency calls pittsburgh's mayor said the city
1:50 am
will not allow the attack to divide communities we know that hatred will never win and that those that try to divide us because of the way that we pray or where our families are from around the world will lose in pittsburgh we're pragmatic and we find solutions to problems we will not try to rationalize irrational behavior we will not try to figure out ways in order to lessen the degree of crimes such as this we will work to eradicate it and the gallagher joining me from pittsburgh what's the focus of the investigation now and. well the synagogue is basically sealed off we know that forensic investigation teams will be in there for at least a week they say in a press conference earlier we were told that the police going in initially found
1:51 am
shell casings all throughout the building really giving you an idea of how indiscriminately at the suspected shooter about was was opening fire we also know that investigators will be looking closely at his social media activity in particular a web site that is favored by white nationalists the so-called all right movement he was very active on that web site the account to since been suspended but he was known on that account to rail against the jewish community to talk about the jews being responsible for holocaust he talks in particular one jewish organization that helped resettle refugees in the pittsburgh area saying that they were bringing invade his that were going to kill his people those were at the suspected shooter is about was would seize now facing twenty nine charges including thirteen of hate crimes and may face the death penalty let's listen to what the district attorney scott brady has to say bowers was armed with multiple weapons he had three glock three fifty seven handguns and an a ar fifteen assault rifle inside the synagogue bowers shot and killed eleven
1:52 am
individuals and wounded two others police officers and swat teams responded quickly to the scene and our shot at them ultimately four police officers were injured and three of them were shot by bowers during the course of his deadly assault on the people the synagogue bowers made statements regarding genocide and his desire to kill jewish people after a standoff with police powers eventually surrendered and remains in federal custody today all of this and the reignited the debate over gun control in the u.s. as well as a crime. i mean it has and that always happens in these cases every time we see something like this of course over the past year but you know i've reported on the moderate stillman douglas high school shooting in las vegas the pulse nightclub charleston last year in which nine worshippers were killed and nothing essentially has changed i think if anything
1:53 am
these kinds of discussions over hate crimes and gun control will really galvanize people on both the left in the right to turn up in those upcoming midterm elections on november the sixth nothing will be done by this administration because if it wasn't done after events like the sandy hook shooting in which five year old children were killed it's not going to change now but as i said i think it does really make people on the left and the right more determined to make their voices heard on these important issues and more important to turn up on november the sixth and make their voices heard meanwhile here in squirrel hill this is a community in deep mourning it's one of the oldest jewish communities in the united states and certainly i think all lives here have been touched by this horrible crime. thank you. saudi arabia's public prosecutor has arrived in istanbul to discuss the killing of

1:56 am
would be leaked to would be given to the media at a time when he the turkish government see fit was going to be very interesting is whether indeed the turks think that they're getting a nuff information from this saudi chief prosecutor who's coming in and if not whether we're going to see more leaks more evidence from the turkish government in the coming days let's not get an update from sin and cos i'm going to joining us on the phone from ankara what are you hearing set him. now we have some even pull myself in that has emerged in the last minutes that there were there were some report the fact that there was an information that was spoken by persons that on a couple of days ago he thought that one of the saudi officials went to afford the great force and somebody to do every kind of song and one thing for get him out his ship disappearance after entering inside the south because of the general building and now we have learned from the turkish police that this saudi official who went
