a string of charges and sentenced him to 12 years in prison but he won't go straight to jail and says that he'll appeal the trial was one of 5 that he was facing linked to a scandal surrounding a state investment fund florence louis reports from kuala lumpur. was guilty on all 7 counts and sentenced to prison for a maximum of 12 years and a fine of $50000000.00 but the judge has allowed a delay in carrying out the sentence. former prime minister of malaysia has been convicted of money laundering criminal breach of trust and abuse of power that's for illegally receiving nearly $10000000.00 from s.r.c international a former subsidiary of state investment fund one empty beach yet that sums only a fraction of the 4 and a half $1000000000.00 that us and malaysian authorities say have been stolen from one end. the judge rejected not just defense that he's been tricked by finances and

he described the argument that not just was led to believe the money was part of a donation from saudi arabia as an elaborate but weak application not job and his lawyers say they will appeal against the verdict a process that could take years this is. 'd definitely not the end of the world. because there's a process of appeal. we hope that we would be successful that. there are outside court supporters greeted the verdict with anger and disbelief but there was also optimism elsewhere civil society groups and opposition politicians have fought for years to bring the corruption scandal to light. among the majority of. the mind of the majority of malaysians. change and.

when. leaders reputation and they were. that 30 could strengthen the credibility of prime minister yassin who took power in february but it may also weaken his coalition that relies on object party the biggest block in the alliance but slim parliamentary majority. still has strong political influence despite no longer leading the united malays national organization or some analysts say tuesday's conviction could strengthen the prosecution's case in other trials places dozens of additional charges including charges over the alleged laundering of $550000000.00 from one and being. one analyst cautioned it's too early to predict not tips political demise.

but for now a leader who once seemed untouchable has been held to account for his actions lawrence louis al-jazeera. ever himself is the executive director of the deca center for opinion research he joins us now live from kuala lumpur good to have you with us so of course the big question now is how. will react to this verdict could it withdraw from the governing coalition and bring down the government. or there is when it's been speculation in terms of how. analyze within these aren't these. are these very i mean yes some people that i know of the verdict itself comes as a surprise the high degree of well the 12 years

as well as the last on the 7 charges so i think there is definitely going to be some attempt to influence the law of armed or not be an effective beechen in the coalition government however not everybody is on his team. there are leaders within his party richfield that the are to move on and put this in the past so that the pikey can refresh itself and vote this in the context of a possible action what about the opposition what opportunities as the situation provide for them what will it do now. hello can you hear me i was asking about the opposition and what it will do now. no i don't think. our guest can hear us we'll try to come back to that a little later let's turn our attention now to the global pandemic as the number of

cases continues to rise governments are divided on how to respond germany is warning its citizens against travel to parts of spain that have reported a high number of infections the u.k.'s already imposed a 2 week quarantine on anyone returning from spain a move that the spanish government calls disproportionate deltas the mostly i wonder if you some of the good we are at this moment talking to the british authorities to try to make them reconsider a measure that in our view is unsuitable particularly if we keep the epidemiological data of the spanish territory and in particular certain tourist destinations like for example the canary in the bay lyric islands developed c.-a and dilutes in regions which i insist have a total accumulated level of virus that is lower than what's being registered in the u.k. in epidemiological terms it is safer to be in these regions than in the u.k. and lebanon is imposing a 2 week lockdown from thursday after a sharp rise in infections and deaths there health officials are warning that

hospitals could become overwhelmed but after months of lockdown in chile it's begun to lift restrictions in parts of the capital santiago but the region remains the most affected by the pandemic authorities in neighboring peru have released a study that says that one in 4 people in the capital lima may have been infected we have 2 live reports for you this hour we'll go live to what dominick cain who's in berlin in just a few moments but we'll start with our latin america editor they see a new man who's in the santiago in chile you see it why are authorities there lifting measures now are they confident the risk of infection has fallen far enough . hello adrian one thing is what the authorities say and another thing is what the statistics are showing and and it is quite concerning i spoke to an everyday meola just just a short while ago was this that this is actually a potential disaster waiting to happen but let me tell you show you 1st what it is that authorities are doing to try and on this 1st day of the lifting of the easing

of the of the quarantine. but only in this area one of 7 municipalities where now you can see people are walking around for the 1st time in 4 months and here on the streets it's a kind of a mixture between a we board and a chessboard everything is marked so that people walk on the right side of the street so that they won't get anywhere near each other that's the idea of left and right we'll see just how disciplined people are eventually and just over here people are about to quit. it to we're going to ask our cameraman to pan over there are about to close to cross the street and there are these little. marks on the road so that people will not get too close to each other as they wait to put the traffic light to change this and many other measures that they are taking are supposed to enforce social distancing but we've already seen that in markets in many other parts of the of the city that is not going to happen in the worst part

yet is that while this area where we work and we live has is opening all the shops the people that work here actually come from areas that are still under lockdown so obviously the virus is going to spread from one part of the city to the other and that's exactly what the epidemiology just tell us is going to happen and it's going to happen soon hospitals and infection rates are still extremely high in this country the world health organization recommends that the confinement begin only when there's less than 5 percent positivity rate in the testing and that is not the case here it's over 10 still. so obviously the reason people are sick of being locked up and also the economy avian what about the situation in neighboring peru where authorities say this year that as many as one in 4 people in lima may have been infected with the virus. exactly and it

peru now has the very unhappy record of being a country with the highest death toll per 1000000 inhabitants in all of the americas and it's a very very high infection rate to the same as in mexico which has at least double the population and the reason is exactly because they started to 2 d. confined to school and that is certainly what is expected telling us so it's a very high contagion rate i think the government has decided there's not much they can do about it because 75 percent of the population works in the informal sector they say they can't stay home anymore they can't afford it they will either starve to death or they'd rather take rather their there are risks there with the with the virus than with starvation that seems to be the thing they say over and over again but still we're seeing the hospital to overflowing and the cemeteries as well a very very serious situation in neighboring through indeed al-jazeera as latin america at its alysia newman reporting live from santiago chile many thanks indeed to see let's go then to berlin our series dominick cain is there for us dominick so

we've got this raw between the u.k. and spain over the fact that the u.k. has imposed quarantine on anyone traveling to the u.k. from spain now germany is advising its citizens to avoid certain regions in spain. yes 3 specific regions in spain adrian that the german government believes its citizens should not be visiting and the point behind this it's gone cut the union are vital they say that the situation the coronavirus situation is in in those regions is such that it isn't it advisable for its citizens to go there but the point is you got to see this through the prism of what's been happening in german ministerial circles over the course of the last few days also because there has been a ratcheting up of concern regarding potential 2nd waves of coronavirus in germany brought back here so the fear goes by german citizens and german residents who've gone on holiday to certain areas that have become high risk areas and then bring it

back with singly that's why yesterday we saw the health minister on the federal health minister that is deciding that from next week the coronavirus testing that had been taking place in 3 airports until that point voluntarily will that will now be mandatory so you've got to view what's happening today through that prism there's clearly a concern high level federally and also in the states of germany about the possibility of coronavirus coming back and brought back to germany by citizens who've been on holiday elsewhere in europe meanwhile germany itself fighting a rise in the number of infections just how how many are there in the country at the moment. well the narrative from germany over the course of this pandemic has been that by having wide scale testing and an ample sufficiency of bed space to treat coronavirus patients presented with extreme

symptoms that the germans be unable to keep a lid on the outbreak that on the pandemic and certainly that has been the case over the course of the past few months but in the course of the past few weeks there have been outbreaks isolated outbreaks in different parts of the country often associated with meat processing plants but it's not just in those places that we've seen certain cases happening we've seen certain localized quarantines and that sort of thing the man who's in charge of the agency empowered to collate the data relating to covert $900.00 number of cases the reproduction rate and that sort of thing lots of you know from the robert cock institute it's become a bit a regular fixture seeing his news conferences over the course of the pandemic with his latest advice to people but he gave a news conference earlier today and had some troubling thoughts for the german population this is what he had to say. you know it's no give us a trying to school one of you with the latest results so that people consider the coronavirus to be

a low risk them before also the acceptance of measures such as social distancing has decreased at this point i would once again like to be very clear we ourselves are largely responsible for determining how the disease will develop in germany please help yourselves all of you continue to respect the rules you. one final thought adrian is the political aspect that's going on right now that informs how we should see and perceive the decisions taking place in berlin and elsewhere the man in charge of bavaria the prime minister there marcus is a very important person in german politics because many people on the conservative right see him as a potential chancellor candidate to replace anger machall when the general election takes place in september of next year he's the one who's been really arguing for people to be more aware of the potential for a 2nd wave he's the one who is really driving the move towards mandatory testing for coronavirus in airports where people who come from risk areas would be

returning he today after a meeting of his own cabinet in bavaria is has said that he wants very soon to implement mandatory testing for corona virus not just in airports but also train stations and also at motorway areas which obviously all that refers to the austrian border so far every time this week that he said something where he wants something to happen at a federal level it has happened that's the political perspective that's going on in german politics right now al-jazeera start a cane reporting live from berlin dominic many thanks a spanish tourism association says that the u.k. is quarantined could cost the sector $11700000000.00 in lost revenue of 0 smart at 0 as in barcelona with more on the economic fallout. these decision has a huge impact in the tourism sector that represents a 12 percent of the spanish economy the situation is quite critical we see here in

barcelona where we are right now the beaches are we empty bars there are no queues to to to visit the cathedral in the middle of the of the city no cute at all there was we were talking to the people at the cathedral saying that an ordinary day you would reduce to 660 people 60 visitors a year the same dates we are they will have 1000 so the situation is quite critical we know that the government is negotiation and pushing very hard especially to brand the idea that spain is a save the estimation that we've got the corner of ours under control that these are only isolated branches or clusters that are completely under control as we heard last night from prime minister presented in this television interview he insisted that spain is a safe destination and this comes up why. do you k. join this 150 countries that have imposed limitations under strict travelers coming

to our country all the government is aligned in this in this in this sense and saying that this being here is safer than being for example in the queue in the u.k. and france a lockdown is being imposed in lebanon during the upcoming. holiday and that's expected to make life difficult for many people doc to say that hospitals will be quickly overwhelmed if the rise in infections isn't managed right away i'll just heroes in the heart of reports from beirut. the number of daily infections in lebanon is now into 3 digits official say the corona virus has spread across the country there reimposing restrictions less than a months after the country and its only public airport reopened the numbers may be low when compared to other countries but this is a nation of only 6000000 people including a 1000000 refugees where they health care system is already in crisis private hospitals have started to turn away patients they make up 85 percent of the health

sector and they are owed $1300000000.00 by the government a law that lists the health sector is passing through a critical crisis that has been going on for 2 years we are crying for help the health sector is taking its last breath 10 days ago our hospital stopped receiving non-critical cases. staff are also being fired the country's leading medical facility the american university hospital laid off nearly 900 and administrators citing what it called the disastrous state of the economy since november up to 40 percent of lebanon 9000 nurses have lost their jobs what is happening is very serious and it's going to affect drastically they had them in lebanon if we don't have enough nurses there the number of patients who are currently at the hospital will be much higher burden or us hospitals funded by the public and left

underfunded and ill equipped by successive governments for 3 decades are not just at the forefront of the battle against coronavirus what we have seen is with the economic crisis more and more patients cannot afford the private sector anymore and they are heading towards the public sector importing equipment and medicine is becoming harder and more expensive because of the sharp devaluation of the local currency and a lack of u.s. dollars in circulation. the surge in corona virus cases couldn't have come at a more difficult time levanon is close to bankruptcy because of years of corruption and the health sector has long been neglected by successive governments and was collapsing before the pandemic. more than 200 medical staff have now been infected the number of patients hospitalized and admitted to intensive care more than doubled in the last 2 weeks if that rate continues lebanon's hospitals once among the best in the middle east will run out of the intensive care beds it needs

by mid august sent to. beirut. from al jazeera still to come on the program a hidden killer. ice the coronavirus overwhelms health facilities another disease could be causing thousands to start. the journey. vaccine has officially entered phase 3 already some progress of u.s. is efforts to develop a covert 19 vaccine one of the infections and infection is continue to rise across the country. and its fall we'll hear from the man in charge of major league baseball on the latest coronavirus that's coming up a little later which of. the united nations security council is holding a closed session to discuss the conflict in yemen it's the 2nd time that meeting in

person at the u.n. headquarters since covert 19 restrictions came into effect the council is concerned over a lack of diplomatic progress and alarmingly deteriorating health situation of the serious diplomatic efforts of james bays joins us now live from u.n. headquarters in new york james what's happened so far. well as you say adrian that the security council meeting yes they going to have a closed meeting where they can discuss exactly what's going on in private coming up but they're actually in open session right now discussing the situation and even in open session it's clear that it's not a very optimistic picture worse remind you that martin griffis the u.n. special envoy last briefed the security council 2 months ago then he said there was significant profit crow progress and that peace was close well things have changed in the last 2 months the situation with regard to peace negotiations has stalled he

has just said to the security council there's a real risk these negotiations will slip away and yemen will enter a new phased approach and escalation even more worryingly covert 19 and the overall humanitarian situation are not getting any better in fact marlowe kok who's the chief u.n. humanitarian official says the humanitarian situation in yemen right now is the worst it's been at any time during the war so as you can see a real sense of frustration and that's the question i put to christophe what is going he's the german ambassador the current president of the security council i asked him how frustrated security council members were at this stage yes the security council is impatient this situation for the people on the ground are ahead i just unexceptable and we'll have today altering we'll have a close discussion where we really discuss you know the fundamentals of this this

cannot go on like this. marty griffiths the u.n. special envoy says the window of opportunity for these talks to try to get a joint declaration to try and get a cease fire across yemen and then to restart of the overall political process that window he says is closing fast real pressure on the parties to come together but not a lot of optimism our diplomatic effort to james bay is live at the u.n. in new york james many thanks indeed thousands of people in yemen could be dying from undetected cases of cholera because code 19 is overwhelmed health facilities that's the latest assessment from oxfam which says that many are scared to seek treatment for fear of contracting the corona virus according to the u.k. based charity the stars of the rainy season next month could worsen the cholera outbreak more than 100000 suspected cases were recorded in the 1st 3 months of this here but since he is the yemen country director for oxfam international he says the

shortage of health facilities is posing a huge challenge. due to the over 5 years of war yemen is a humanitarian crisis and with the coming of 19 and then now the cholera actually yemenis ani truly horrific catastrophe because political big 19 and cholera could speak in the coming weeks as the rainy season begins but we have seen a kind of significant drop of color that is this the past quarter one reported one reported like 100000 but we have seen 50 percent drop on the water while the rain has asserted and some areas are flat at last year this time we have seen 70 percent increase actually people are afraid they're frightened so they're not actually reporting to the health center to treat i mean get treatment and we are really

really never afghanistan's government and the taliban have agreed to observe a 3 day truce from friday during the hour hot holiday the cease fire plan follows a surge in violence in recent weeks the taliban has indicated that it's prepared to hold talks with the government after aid provided a prisoner swap is completed. sudan's water minister described ethiopia's decision to fill the ground renee's on stand on the river nile as worrisome i was warned that it will have negative impacts now and not help for the sudan i'll admit we have conveyed our reserve ation accuse the unilateral move of filling the dams resupply on july 12th and 13th we considered the move as a worrisome act we have also pointed out the negative impacts of this unilateral move which was taken without warning. iran has held a military drill in the important strait of hormuz region members of its revolutionary guard fired a missile from a helicopter targeting

members or leaders of this m 5 opposition protest movement they're trying to decide a course of action they were supposed to have a press conference just in an hour's time that's been counsel to tomorrow it appears and there seems to be some sort of cracks or divisions among the protest movement. taking a much more conciliatory tone for wanting to accept some of the can some of the recommendations made by the echo off the west african body but then there are others hardliners who will accept nothing but the resignation of president. they say that he's in breach of article 37 of the constitution after he deployed commandos men to fight armed groups in the north the country against peaceful unarmed protesters on the 11th and 10th of july meanwhile while this is happening while there is discussion among the protest movement there is the new cabinet

that's been holding a meeting and you cabinet that was formed just last night after the extraordinary meeting of the echo os 6 ministers we're talking here who are meeting led again by prime minister adrian you could open leaders agreed to things that the protesters on the streets are happy with the president and there's no way he's going to resign on the protesters on a hiding to nothing here. well there's this this is the red line that echo oss says is unwilling to cross it would be unconstitutional to ask for president to resign the problem is is that in the face of the situation in mali he has very little legitimacy let's face it without the presence of $14000.00 peacekeeping troops or $4000.00 french troops on the ground he wouldn't be in charge of the north in the center of the country and he came on this promise 7

years ago. to to to make mali 1st but instead he's brought his family 1st he's been accused of corruption especially through his son. who has links to a defense contractor was taking up buildings of up to $250000000.00 in defense contracts and so that has really angered the protest movement also the escalation of violence that we've seen in the north in the center of the country and his unwillingness to really change the course of his government he's been hiding behind the changes of government there's been 6 government in place since he's come to power this is the 7th one that was just announced late last night late last night and the echo us continues to recommend a government of national unity but there has been no overtures made towards a protest movement to get involved in such a national unity government meanwhile the united nations security council has

backed the echo our recommendation and they want to see. a resolution of this crisis soon they say that if there isn't a resolution and those that are not willing to take to to to to negotiate an end to the crisis there will there will be sanctions against them adrian zeros nicholas lived in dakar senegal but many things in zimbabwe at least 14 political activists say that they have been asked to report to police for questioning it comes ahead of anti-government protests that are set for friday opposition of union leaders are among those who've been austria tend to reports from. some people on the list say they are not going to hand themselves over to the police others have said on social media they fear for their lives and are too scared to sleep at home office dition leaders say this is an attempt by the government to stop friday's anti-government protest from going ahead this is a serious issue and. you can't criminalize

is fog. we reminds reminds nicholas that he is not a supermarket room until he's gone there are several different models that are still going to do this in public from the african union member countries in the world. they've never must come and pretended. is. the question is will people participate in friday's protests some people have said they are going to participate because they're tired of the state of the economy they're tired of rising inflation and they simply can't make ends meet either say they're white about how security forces will react if they come in and decide to stop the protest from going ahead and others are concerned about the coronavirus pandemic as the cases of the virus keep rising in the country

thriving in this environment children that had difficulty paying attention in class are really excited by the fact that they can see their teacher one on one but it's a different story for the majority of students who go to government run schools this school has been under lock and key for the past 4 months and is the same story elsewhere in nigeria underfunded and usually overcrowded most public schools have been unable to provide teaching for their students during the pandemic. for now the government's plan to provide teaching on radio and t.v. isn't working for most because of poor internet access and power cuts and alyse the disruption to education will have serious repercussions for the future of students around the country. that it was all. or. now set up.
