the district elections which will happen here in hong kong on november 24th. now self exalted cambodian opposition leader sam rainsy has arrived in malaysia after being barred from a flight to thailand he's about to return home to cambodia to lead demonstrations against prime minister who said in his room for more than 30 years consent has described the planned return of reign the end of the opposition leaders as an attempted coup. the hope. we're on the right. you will receive the deceivers the militia the 1st t.v. interview we did our leisure what. do. you think of democracy. that's going to talk correspondent wayne hay he's joining us live from bangkok so what happens now that mr rains is in malaysia. yes well this was the day november 9th that he
2:07 pm
said he would return to cambodia and lead that uprising against the government its independence day in cambodia so it would have been a very significant moment instead as you say he's arrived in the malaysian capital in the past couple of hours and this is not the end of the road as you heard him say he is still determined to return to cambodia to lead that uprising against the government led by prime minister who in sin but it seems that he will stay in malaysia for at least a few days he says he's been invited to the malaysian parliament for meetings that is on tuesday after that i think it will be very interesting to see what happens his original plan was to transit through thailand on his way to cambodia we know that that is probably not going to happen because the thai government has been pretty clear in saying that it won't allow sam rainsy to come through here so it will be interesting to see what happens in malaysia will the malaysian government
2:08 pm
and airlines allow him potentially to fly from kuala lumpur directly to phnom penh if that is indeed what he chooses to do we have to remember there are critics of sam raines even some from within his own party that say that this is just another p.r. stunt by him that he was never really intending to go back to cambodia and that infects something like what we've seen play out in the past couple of hours was his ultimate goal to go to a nearby country to hold some sort of media event and then to be able to declare that he tried his best to get back to cambodia and therefore highlighting the plight of the democratic movement in and outside his country he of course denies that he said he wants to go back to phnom penh and he will do so that's interesting brain some critics saying that it's a p.r. stunt a promise to her then saying it's an attempted coup. yes exactly and we also have to remember that his own party the cambodian national
2:09 pm
rescue party unfortunately for those who are fighting for democracy or greater democracy inside cambodia is very much divided basically that party is an amalgamation of 2 separate parties that came together a few years ago the sam rainsy party and also the human rights party which is was led by kemp's a car. unfortunately in the past few weeks in this conversation has been a little bit lost he is still in cambodia he was arrested more than 2 years ago and is under house arrest in the capital phnom penh awaiting trial on treason charges so he is still the leader of the c n r p what we've seen though in cambodia over the past few days is a heavy beefing up of security in anticipation of something happening we've seen very heavily armed security forces on the streets of the capital outside the airport in phnom penh and also on the cambodian side of the main land border crossing between thailand and cambodia because again that was the original route
2:10 pm
that sam rainsy said he wanted to take to fly into bangkok then go overland from thailand into cambodia perhaps that heavy security not just in anticipation of sam raynes he's planned return but a signal by the government to anyone else who thinks of staging some sort of uprising taking to the streets to fight for democracy that this is the sort of heavy security that the government can deploy. why and thank you for that for now that is wayne hay with the latest live in bangkok thank you. but u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or has condemned iran's detention of a u.n. nuclear watchdog inspect according at an outrageous and on warned to that of intimidation stop the inspector from entering the natanz uranium enrichment plant because she tested positive for traces of explosives and have since canceled her accreditation but earlier iran's atomic energy organization spokesman says the head on doesn't trust other governing bodies looking into their nuclear ambitions.

2:19 pm
legal framework will face trial there is prime minister goes on to say that political parties are important to democratic process but in their it all they have made many mistakes clearly a concession to the fact that there are so many demonstrators these past several weeks that are extremely angry with the government and feel that the government has been toned up when it comes to replying to their demands you also promises and electoral reform in the coming 3 days although no specifics as to what exactly that means beyond that the prime minister also says that authorities have been forced to limit internet access because he says it has been used to promote violence we must remember that in the past 3 days the internet has been very intermittent it's been shut down most of the time there was a 2 week period several weeks ago when it was also shut down that's also really contributing to the mood of anger from these demonstrators that we've been seeing we're here at dr square today it is still

2:21 pm
the prime minister i could happen that he would be willing to resign if there could be some kind of electoral reform but there are never any concrete steps taken to specify what exactly was going to be done so a very fluid situation right now but clearly this really goes to show the statement from the prime minister that now the leaders of this country have taken notice of this movement and they are trying to mollify the demonstrators that continue to come out a little bit mohammed thank you for that for now that islamic jump in with the latest live in baghdad thank you. to brazil now a former president needed to sell it as again energizing the country's leftist opposition after a supreme court ruling freed him from jail but conservatives say new to symbolized a culture of corruption has law from sao paulo. he supporters had demanded his freedom since he was detained last year. or simply left prison on friday surrounded by hundreds of his supporters. you have no idea of
