this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome to visitors here in news our live from doha i'm mounting debt is coming up in the next sixty minutes senior trump officials are accused of trying to sell nuclear technology to saudi arabia an investigation is underway. the u.n. office to diffuse tensions between india and pakistan that have escalated since an attack in kashmir. standing by their man venezuela's military reaffirms

its loyalty to president nicolas maduro. i'm joining us roscoe with the sports. opening match in dubai and the pressure begins to show on the world's number one tennis player. now an investigation has been launched into whether the trumpet ministration is trying to sell sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia a committee in the house of representatives led by the democrats says whistle blows of war and that coup first interests are being put ahead of the law mike hanna ripples from washington. the twenty four page report is extensive and reach in detail providing names dates and specific communications relating to u.s. nuclear technology in saudi arabia the oversight committee under representative elijah cummings based the report on what it calls whistleblower accounts evidence

provided by career officials within the administration deeply concerned about what would appear to be a deeply corrupt process circumventing congress what is surprising us is the scope of u.s. government officials. directly involved and business to business talks. the way out this close and potential economic interest in the work that they were doing and that is certainly what is new among those named in the report to president trump's son in law and adviser jared cushion or who refinanced a deeply indebted new york building with a company called brookfield business partners which had just acquired a nuclear services company westinghouse electric under scrutiny as well question his ongoing relationship with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman. and central to the report longtime trump supporter and one time national security

advisor michael flynn who the report says was deeply involved in pushing a nuclear plan for saudi arabia that included the construction of as many as forty saudi nuclear plants the report says michael flynn was a paid advisor to a company known as i p three international during the presidential campaign through the transition period and even while serving as national security advisor the report ends on february the twelfth that is last week president trump participated in a white house meeting with private nuclear power developers initiated by i p three international and as a democrat led oversight committee commences a large scale investigation the question is whether house republicans will commit to it as well mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well these allegations about

a bid by the trumpet ministration to push through the transfer of nuclear technology to saudi arabia is the latest example of how the u.s. president apparently sees his relationship with the kingdom saudi arabia you may remember was the first country he went to after being sworn in he's boasted about what he describes as more than one hundred million dollars worth of arms sales to riyadh and despite a growing controversy over the saudi led war in yemen president trump has stonewalled attempts by congress to stop u.s. involvement in that conflict and amid growing calls for an investigation into the role played by crown prince mohammed bin sound man in the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi the u.s. president has insisted that washington's relations with the kingdom let's not be undermined that the president's also disappointed politicians on both sides of the ali washington by nor ring a one hundred twenty day deadline for a report is requested by the senate right let's speak now to rami curry is

a professor of journalism at the american university of beirut is a senior fellow also at the harvard kennedy school and he's joining us from beirut and rami just want to run by you swedes by the iranian foreign minister mohammad zarif who says that. this these allegations about the transfer of nuclear technology to saudi arabia. is hypocritical of washington he says first to dismember journalists now illicit sale of nuclear technology to saudi arabia fully exposes u.s. hypocrisy and i'm guessing that many people will be agreeing with the iranian foreign minister. yes many people in the region and around the world would because there's a lot of people who are very critical of trump and afraid of what he's doing both to the u.s. and to the world the really important point here is that you now have a congressional committee led by democrats in the house of representatives with

a majority is democratic officially investigating inner workings of the white house dealing with members of trump's family his son and location are his top advisers linked to business dealings with saudi arabia and in some cases with the emirates in a context of concern in the democratic controlled house of representatives that the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have been for several years trying to end fluence american policy through business relationships so this closes a very difficult circle for trump and is the beginning of a really important phase of an official investigation but rami hasn't foreign policy conducted by the united states always been influenced by us is this interest all over the world not just in the middle east. yes it has but it has zero is adhere to certain safeguards one of them is ethical standards

to prevent conflicts of interest the white house ignored these according to the democratic committee report the second one is nonproliferation safeguards so that nuclear technology doesn't go anywhere it wants where people want to buy it all around the world and fall into the hands of bad guys as they call them and the white house seems to have ignored that as well that's the accusation so when business interests works through the system that is operational in the united states which includes ethical and nonproliferation safeguards the business can often get its way which it does with arms sales and exports and now you see it with the trade deals and things like that but in this case the problem is the white house has been accused the white house and a bunch of senior former officials and military officials have been accused of ignoring these fundamental principles of american democratic practices which

include checks and balances and safeguards and indeed as you point out here the sensitivity of the this possible transaction is rich when you consider the fact that donald trump pulled the united states out of the iran nuclear deal of twenty fifteen just last year which is why of course we've seen this tweet now from the iranian foreign minister. well that's true and what you have to look at also is the wider context here which is that there is deep congressional anger especially among democrats but also among some republicans about the way the trump has handled the situation the murder and dismemberment of the late jim absolutely and there is also congressional anger about the u.s. involvement in the war in yemen that the u.s. on the saudis are. undertaking so this just adds more difficult

pressure on the white house coming from official congressional bodies that's the real problem that the white house now faces and with mounting public concern about the lackadaisical way that the white house deals with issues of ethics standards and following procedures for things like nonproliferation which can have a serious global security threat rami khouri talking to us live from beirut thank you but the united nations is offered to break a top between india and pakistan that's after last week's car bombing in the disputed kashmir region thursday's blasts killed forty one indian soldiers of his own prime minister has offered to cooperate in the investigations but has also warned of retaliation if india attacks now pakistan based armed group jaish e mohammed claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing well we've been speaking

to pakistan's ambassador to the united nations malea lodhi and she appealed for the u.n. secretary general to step in. i met the u.n. secretary general this afternoon and before that i met the president of the un security council and to both of them i emphasized the need for the u.n. to play its role and live up to its obligations i told the secretary general that he had put prevention at the very heart of his agenda this is the time for him to act because the situation between pakistan and india is deteriorating we see an escalation in rhetoric from the indian side we see a state of threatening statements by indian leaders and in occupied kashmir we also see attacks on ordinary kashmiris and on muslims so the situation is very fraught but the indian foreign minister has also chimed in saying that pakistan needs to take tougher action against the armed group that has claimed responsibility we are

not surprised that the prime minister of pakistan refuses to acknowledge that attack on our security forces and pull lama as an act of terrorism prime minister of pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this act not conducted with a bit families disclaiming any link between the terrorist attack and pakistan is an oft repeated excuse by pakistan it is a very long fact that gesture moment and its leader muscled as her are based in pakistan this should be sufficient proof for pakistan to take action. we're going to discuss a story a little more detail later on in the program but in the meantime the international court of justice is hearing final arguments in the case of the former indian navy commander who's been sentenced to death in pakistan call bush and so they're found guilty of espionage and terrorism by a pakistani military court the i.c.j.

has ordered pakistan to hold execution until it hears his case. and islam about is also dealing with anger from his western border with iran saying an attack that killed twenty seven revolution wriggles also week was planned from inside pakistan and be reports. a sunni armed group cool j. shell has claimed responsibility for last week's suicide bombing but iran says it now has evidence the attack was planned from inside pakistan. two days ago we arrest a woman who was our first lead after interrogating her we found other links and i can tell you that two of the members of this team were pakistani the suicide bomber was a person named is muhammad ali from pakistan. a suicide bomber in a vehicle packed with explosives drove into a bus transporting members of iran's revolutionary guards the pakistani government has denied the attack was planned from its territory i think iran does not have

any evidence as to whether they're pretty deep from pakistan. or they pick off the border the three others arrested by iran are ethnic minorities one person is still on the run but iran doesn't just plain six individuals for the bombings. designed on attack is not an ordinary one it is a dangerous strategy that aims at hitting iran the sons of the revolutionary guards are standing firm in the face of the harbinger of doom triangle that consists of the zionist entity america and saudi arabia which is a symbol of evil in the region and the world. pakistan has condemned the attack and offered cooperation the iranian military is demanding pakistan cracks down on jaish al addle and wounds if it doesn't it might take action itself victory gates and be

al-jazeera. we're going to lot more to come on this news hour including five years after nigeria's president promised to clean up this oil mess we'll look at whether failures will hurt his reelection bid. back in fashion the b.z. sales force out of business under eisel get a maid in mosul. coming up in sports practice makes perfect the formula one world champion gets to grips with his new mercedes. twenty four hour window opened by syria's government and russia to allow people to to leave a remote refugee camp has now passed but apparently no one has left rock band camp is in the syrian desert very close to the border with jordan and iraq forty thousand people mostly women and children have been living there some of them say

years in desperate conditions with little food and medicine while some of them have been explaining why they didn't use the corridor to leave. but i knew about this sort of a show but i was going to see the crossings opened by the regime and the russian military police are claimed to be safe but the people here are not feeling any safety or stability people here feel as if they are drowning and looking for anything at all to rescue themselves the road to the camp has been cut with the mine and find some comfort people don't believe that these crossing are open. is really a number three on the bottom that i am for me personally if i leave it would be only to go from one day a trap to another if i found a safe place from a my kids and my family i would go in this revolt opening the crossing is a good step but we wanted to be are the same by the un because of lies we have been told before nobody believes these crossings are safe. right we can go live now to

our correspondent emraan colonising gaziantep on the turkey syria border it sounds very much emraan as say the russian authorities and the syrian government authorities didn't give the people and the desperate people of this particular camp the assurances that they needed in order to operate themselves and make use of these corridors. the right you have no most amount of suspicion from the people of. now what normally happens when these corridors are open is there is an international organization that monitors the movement of the people in most cases that's the united nations the united nations like she said we have nothing to do with this and it feels like it looks like that this russians and the syrians have set up these corridors without actually negotiating with the free syrian army who control. the camp were backed by the

united states and because of the. negotiation that's likely to have not taken place it's very difficult for the people to actually leave the camp because the free syrian army let them out of the camp and as you've heard from them they feel what i call leave the camp and that's despite the fact that the conditions in the camp absolutely desperate the russians and indeed the syrian government i mean they have they've undertaken this kind of exercise in the past seven day so they know exactly how to do it one wonders why they they haven't gone through the gene process in this particular instance. it's a very difficult question because the russians and the syrians haven't spoken but i've been speaking to people within syria and outside of syria and a lot of what i'm being told is this just a suspicion that this may well of all just be a show something just to say that we do care about humanitarian issues and

therefore we've opened these corridors up but there's no real. within it there's no real negotiation with the f.s.a. all the international community to allow these people out. it's important to make this distinction though the syrians and the russians say that the curry door is open and it was open for that twenty four hour period whether it's been closed or not we're not sure right now it's a quite difficult to actually move all of the troops out of there so it's likely that the corridor is still open and if the backs stage negotiations going on with the f.s.a. that hasn't been made public right for now emraan thank you imran khan reporting live from gaza and. the saudi state media is saying that four soldiers are being killed was while fighting in the rebels on the border with yemen the rebels say they're continuing with their military offensive at the border taking saudi military positions. and a large number of weapons near to nod. this is the worst violent incident since

a u.n. brain could peace deal was signed in december. and elsewhere in the country five civilians including two young brothers have been killed in mortar shelling by rebels in who data province and that's despite the un's announcement of a breakthrough agreement on the withdrawal of troops from the port city. egypt has executed nine people for the killing of its top prosecutor into a diff if teen has shambolic out was attacked just a day before the second anniversary of mass protests that prompted the military to oust the former president mohammed morsy six others have had their death sentence lifted that will serve life in prison the government blamed the attack on the muslim brotherhood and girls of based hamas both have denied any involvement. a british teenager who joined eisel in syria when she was just fifteen years old is apparently going to lose u.k. citizenship shamima big or lose one of three girls from east london who went to

syria in twenty fifteen it's reported an order has been made by the british home office to remove her citizenship and just days ago she gave birth to a son in a syrian refugee camp her lawyer has indicated that they will fight the decision live that our correspondent needs barkha in london the need this is an issue isn't it that is absorbing the people of the united kingdom do we know for sure that sajid javid the home secretary is going to take away his citizenship. it appears that way but it's a bit of a legal minefield of the nineteen year old as you mentioned gave birth to a baby son over the weekend was told that she was being having her british citizenship revoked by a letter to her parents. they were told that it was not conducive to the public good here in the u.k. to allow her back to britain the british government is legally allowed to do this

under the nine hundred eighty one nationality act providing it does not leave anybody in a stateless position the bacon family have said that she doesn't have any other passport that she isn't a citizen of any other country but it's believed that she does have bangladeshi heritage there is something called the law of blood that exists in bangladesh allowing anybody that has been good to actually live in a lineage to be able to apply for citizenship but that does of course raise a very obvious question is there some sort of overlap when it comes to u.k. and bangladeshi citizenship is she left now in legal limbo for a period of time there are also questions from those who have criticized this move as to whether or not the british government would have done this had she been a jewel national of a western country and of course a very obvious question too to whether or not bangladesh will actually take or considering she traveled to syria considering she married an eyesore fighter so all

of this needs clarify absolutely what are the options then for the british authorities because of girls there does exist the kind of legislation that or a young woman like her would indeed face if she were to keep her citizenship if she were to be returned home and go through the judicial process. yes there is and those who argue this is about to say that she should immediately come back to the u.k. and as a british citizen face the full force of the british or that would be a better signal to send those to all those who have gone through a similar situation of going to syria either as i saw brides or as i saw fighters that that would be more of an affective the tyrant rather than passing the buck on to another country outside europe to be able to handle we do know that you know that she does intend to appeal this decision it first could potentially go to tribunals but the legal process could take as long as two years potentially taking

the case all the way up to the supreme court meaning that bacon could end up in a legal limbo in that sir kurdish refugee camp in the north of syria for quite some time from now on the thank you need back our correspondent in london. now campaigning in nigeria is well under way after the election commission delayed the vote by a week it's now scheduled for next saturday president mohammed who bihari is seeking reelection first came to power with a promise to clean up the niger delta but as our correspondent araminta also reports is still a mess of oil spills causing sickness surrounding villages and destroying the villages livelihoods people living in this part of the niger delta say they contraband but when the sign was put up all they know is that the water and soil in the area is not safe the decades of oil spills and criminal groups sabotaging or

pipelines millions of nigerians are unemployed fishing is how sometimes the survives and despite the danger to their health many men venture into the creeks. our people can. be dying without having something to eat that is where our people normally go back into the polluted water to catch fish selfish. it. in here there's no option environmentalist say the niger delta is an ecological disaster zone scarred by decades of oil spills that a polluted the water killing animals trees and plants village elders say the last time this area was clean was more than ten years ago you can smell the crude oil and it's not pleasant people here say they feel forgotten by the government and exploited by oil companies over the years some communities have taken all companies to court and were financially compensated blessing nor do has taken her case to

a district court at the hague her husband was one of the nine activists killed with cancer we were in one thousand nine hundred five by nigeria's then military government she believes the oil company shell was complicit shell has always maintained the allegations are false. all i want is justice every time i go to the netherlands embassy for visa ad they say no i think some people don't want me to tell the truth about what they did to my husband. others who remember what the place used to look like just when the pollution of the region's water and soil to stop i was very little green i used to go with my uncle to fisher house and this place used to be called part look like a desert used to be. mangrove forests i mean a very mongrel forest that's how it was then we have critics are we going to screech to a different species of fish. the oil companies nigeria's government the united

nations and other agencies are sponsoring a cleanup campaign clearing dead foliage spilled oil and planting new mangroves but the work will take decades to complete if at all meanwhile amongst all the poverty all companies will keep pumping out as much as they can people in the community say they are not benefiting from the oil wealth some of the things they're demanding are jobs some of the money and better infrastructure. al-jazeera in the niger delta . venezuela's military has reaffirmed its loyalty to the embattled president nicolas maduro in spite of calls from the opposition leader one and from president donald trump to switch allegiance their defense minister vladimir but there is no says the armed forces will remain in position along the border with colombia soldiers are deployed at several places to block any u.s. aid from coming into the country though has promised to force the shipments to

reach venezuelans on saturday. if you want to search in our sanction us if you want to blackmail us blackmail us but you want to achieve your mission you want to achieve it we'll take the sanctions will listen to blackmail but will definitely remain with the home with our home but stop the manipulation already and say that this is an issue of a political even personal nature. and latin america rather than see any human has been speaking to some ordinary people who are also still supporting the president. a tiny primary health care center in caracas has picked that area latin america's largest slum. inside his sixty three year old son to say they knew she has bronco pneumonia and needs an x. ray medication and much more but there's none to be had she complains that the center is falling apart and that there's no medicine in stock yet she's still a firm supporter of the ms wales government. those of us who support the government

carry it in our veins we can't be so i'm grateful i had a son who had three open heart surgeries thanks to our government not everyone thinks the same but i remained faithful. years of shortages rising crime a social welfare state in disarray and the world's worst hyperinflation has seen millions of venezuelans calling for president nicolas models ouster. for twenty years after deceased president hugo chavez introduced venezuelans to the concept of twenty first century socialism there are still some true believers. at this diagnostic clinic doctors are desperate because they haven't received medicine for two months but the community council representatives have an explanation the same one as president model. it's all the fault of the us empire they block the entry of food and medicine into venezuela we have money to import what we need but now the empire wants to appropriate venezuela's oil wealth. in actual fact the sale of food

and medicine to venezuela isn't blocked although in the last two months the trumpet ministration has applied even tighter economic sanctions aimed to hasten mother's ouster. that makes it even more difficult to import all these food boxes called clapp which mcdougall has been distributing over the last two years away. site poor residents of all political colors boxes are heavily subsidized they sell for one hundred twenty that isn't everything that's in here costs more than twenty thousand fact many families depend on this to survive but also for although critics accuse the government of using hunger as a tool for political control the majority of those on the distribution list like. oppose the government anyway. but not. sanchez they're among the minority who remain faithful to the promise of the bolivarian revolution at the end

we have to give this government time we just have to wait for the situation to. need is that it's a dream and nobody said it would be easy especially since we're confronting not just in the postseason but the world's most powerful empire. there was a time when the majority of in israel and shared that dream but after six years of political strife corruption and economic hardships their numbers have dwindled but not their stubborn determination to remain loyal to chavez's legacy to see a new man i just see. in his way that. in just a moment. with the weather also coming up on this al-jazeera news we're going to how the rich. are feeling corruption allegations ahead of elections plus. it's payday at the padres we'll tell you about their wrestle three hundred million dollars signing. in school.

have on monday snowed in saudi arabia not as unusual as you might think the snows every year in the winter there are mountains in the west and indeed in the knolls ups of wars the jordanian border it's not a huge amount of snow didn't cause any destruction as you can see it's just a dusting to say it happens every year has happened more than once this year but still indication that wintry weather the cold spell is still around and although it's not so obvious now this little cold areas plowed here tucked in behind are all the more active code which just in the last few years has taught to bring some significant rain to pakistan in check about for example only twelve metres using so but in the recent very much rain in pakistan in february at zero so compared to the

average we've beaten febreze hours that's normally seven there for the whole year obviously not a very dry but a very wet nor indeed pakistan a whole year you'd see a hundred ten i've been counting up how we're probably about a third of the way there already and it's nowhere near. time so it's raining now and the rain is more significant a bit further north and in afghanistan in fact over the next twenty four hours with a warning in place so that offense afghanistan i think will be some problem but i'll try to get tomorrow most will be gone. the weather sponsored by catherine. between two thousand and two thousand and seven there were nine racist murders in different parts of germany but the police were painfully slow to track down the killer. al-jazeera will reveal the truth about the deaths linked by

a single one. the involvement of the far right and the serious political force didn't see the cesky murderous case solved on al-jazeera. spawning six continents across the globe. al-jazeera as correspondents live and bring the stories they tell. us why the. good news is the. letter samples. were at the mercy of the russian camp for palestinian direct i'll just zero fluent in world news.

tough is it take a look at the top stories here on the al-jazeera news members of the trumpet ministration of have been accused of trying to sell nuclear technology to saudi arabia ignoring legal objections a congressional committee led by the democrats is now investigating these allegations and iran's foreign minister has denounced the alleged bid to transfer nuclear technology to saudi arabia in a tweet jeffard series said the revelations fully exposed u.s. hypocrisy. the u.n. has offered to break the talks between india and pakistan as tensions escalated over last week's car bombing in the disputed kashmir region u.n. secretary general antonio the temptations also offered as also urged excuse me maximum restraint from all sides. bet israel as military has reaffirmed its loyalty

for the embattled president nicolas maduro despite calls from the opposition leader . and president trump to switch allegiance soldiers are deployed at several places to try to block u.s. aid from entering the country. venezuela's health system is on the brink of collapse with an acute shortage of medical supplies and indeed doctors many suffering from easily treatable diseases have had to travel to neighboring countries for care mohammed jem june has been speaking to patients in the brazilian city of. close to the venezuelan border. free of the body but full of spirit rafael majorca exudes the kind of calm determination most people in his condition would find hard to muster. before being transported to this hospital in neighboring brazil the thirty year old venezuelan was a death's door. and while he's still extremely weak he's also much improved. my

why that is sexy he had skin rashes pneumonia and all of his conditions would derive from his diabetes which was uncontrolled that's most probably because access to things like insulin is rare and venezuela is insulin a medication for diabetes patients readily available in most countries the world over but rough ale whose aunt watches over him now just as she had prayed over him when he was in a coma wasn't so lucky that i've been afraid that in venezuela we can't get anything life just isn't good we can't get medicine we can't get insulin nothing had verify all stayed there he wouldn't be alive today. for the time being rafael is unable to speak but he is communicative his doctor who studied medicine in venezuela still finds it hard to believe things have gotten so bad in her patient's homeland and i had to go when i was

a student venezuela had to acknowledge that we couldn't find in brazil not just equipment but also medicine we now see that in only a few years the house system deteriorated to the point that they don't even have the most basic needs. in this relatively poor part of brazil the influx of so many even israel is in need of medical care has put further strain on the area's already stretched healthcare facilities walking through crowded corridors of where i'm a general hospital the director general shows me how they no longer have space for all the patients sadly rafael is one of many even his whalen's at this hospital suffering from a medical condition that should have been easily treatable another stark reminder of the near complete collapse of the health care system in venezuela. before coming to brazil thirty four year old ricci cordoba kept going to see the doctor about the pain in his abdomen he was assured many times it was nothing serious but months after arriving here in the city

a boy of his. he got the proper diagnosis appendicitis and and also. in my job in a salon it's a shame when israelis have to leave their country we will born because of the economic situation us and because of the lack of medicines for illness and go to other countries who receive us with a friendly embrace. some may call it an embrace others may call it treatment for many ailing venezuelans though it's a much needed road to recovery they simply cannot find at home mammoth zero but you know what i'm a state resume all right let's talk a little bit more then about one of our main stories today that of the ongoing tensions between pakistan and india specifically after the suicide bomb attack in which more than forty india's security personnel were killed we can speak to in tears gool who's head of the center for research on security studies he's joining us via skype from the pakistani capital islamabad thank you very much indeed for

joining us now at the heart of this particular. round of problems between india and pakistan is the accusation that elements of the pakistani state are offering sanctuary or some form of support to the group that has actually admitted carrying out this attack how far is that true which parts of pakistan society are supporting jaish e mohammed. one in the first place there is no trace of any evidence or claim to. the indian. officials are claiming basically the they're talking about just. talking about. talking as asians have been banned by boston's generally do two thousand and two there's a basis to magically space being sure i can on them because between them they have

more than half a million students followers into seminaries spread across pakistan these are the groups which had been in the past. partially to sponsible for a while and in the meeting but not anymore because of a heavily fortified border between pakistan and india as well as the border heavy fence that separates both parts of kashmir rial these are mere on merely a sions indians have moved within minutes of the attack and obama appointing fingers to pakistan which sounded sort of ridiculous i said what do you believe that is the emphasis then for the the level of accusations that are coming from new delhi towards its lama bad i mean they're saying that they have in controversial evidence of packets pakistan's involvement in this attack. well i'd everybody would like to see that in going to war to below the demands of pop august

on's involvement you know in the attack somebody locally born and will groan and disenchanted frustrated with the system with the continuous each by the union force simply apparently gone as gone on to lawyer up with the explosives that he apparently. locally because according to an indian general the there's been some. blasting good rock blasting it with any of by and probably these very explosive they're going stolen from there so no this is simply it's we should dearly to free him from copy pasting the indian allegations and making them parts of statements official statements media statements as part of forward intros if india had it going to watchable evidence on this i think they would have clearly gone haywire all over the world just basing their allegation

on the text on an s.m.s. message that nobody has seen so far followed by a lot of photo shopped pictures that indian intelligence says at least some of it all makes it may go b.s. because india knew that the financial action task force is going to take up august bans compliance on the n.t. money laundering and gone to their financing issues in in paris on the eighteenth and nineteenth so i think it was one one would smell a rat in an attack that took place and that it in that moment of fourteen took an attack to express in iran and it and it was the new guard start accusing pakistanis bugs on a security forces in fact so there seemed to be an orchestrated attempt to drag pakistan's names in a negative light ahead of the saudi prince crown prince n.b.s. as was it to pakistan as well as the financial wrexham task forces meeting in

prague is that continues today right imtiaz gul enforce it we have to leave it there was another time thank you very much indeed. the discovery of allah. in senegal reckoned to be worth more than fifty billion dollars is made of corruption one of the main issues in upcoming presidential elections on sunday then it is head to the polls to elect a new president. from san louis the candidates have been accusing each other of receiving. the ocean often brings the unexpected. up until last year but. didn't know that beneath this ocean is an estimated fifty billion dollars worth of oil and gas. present mikey sellers given exploitation rights to international oil giants this enjoy he says will make them rich at least that's what they've been promised to. look at the neighboring countries patrol can

because it can create divisions but it can also be a blessing. to be properly managed. and so they believe the president is the man for the job he's running for his second term in office in the northwest coastal town of san luis promising more subsidies for fishermen in farmers the government is already investing in multi-million dollar development projects in ahead of twenty twenty one when oil companies are expected to start drilling extraction of oil and gas hasn't started yet but already opponents of mike you saw accuse him of corruption it's part of this presidential campaign because so many here fear that foreign companies and the political elite will profit from this newfound wealth at their expense. this man wearing sells campaign t. shirts was recorded by a local journalist distributing cash at an election rally remy party candidate has

accused the president of drowning that country in debt while political newcomer says selling his brother who had an oil company our money. during and personally profiting from the oil and gas discovery the president has denied all these allegations. is a total disappointment he stole all of our resources he betrayed the people who elected him with sixty five percent of the vote in the last elections he is a real disappointment in the two thousand and twelve election campaign promise to tackle corruption during his time in office two of his rivals opposition leader kerry wide and former mayor of deckard were jailed and convicted of embezzling millions of dollars they are now disqualified from taking part in the presidential race whoever wins this election will be in charge of a country wealthier than ever before and so each candidate is trying to attract voters with the promise of a better life. nicholas hawk al-jazeera. now there are some
