holding the powerful to account as we examine the u.s. its role in the war on al jazeera. a new power play in malaysia opposition leader anwar ibrahim says he has the backing to topple the prime minister and form a new government. i don't know this is out life and also coming up russian opposition leader election apparently is released from a hospital in germany a month after he was flown in the victim of a suspected poisoning. we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world president donald trump attempts to put the focus and blame

squarely on china as u.s. coronavirus deaths past 200. hoping for help but doubtful it will come with pharmacy villages you've lost everything in sudan. now there's uncertainty about the future malaysia's government opposition leader anwar ibrahim says he has a strong majority to form a new government he declared that prime minister you didn't yes since administration has fallen but he still needs a king's approval to replace yes and you came to power in march for a slim is in kuala lumpur and says there's still uncertainty over and was political mood the prime minister delivered a special address but he's only been so far he's been speaking on the about the aid and the assistance that the government is going to render to the public and in light of the difficulties they've had to go through because of the pandemic that he

hasn't yet addressed i. there was an announcement during the press conference and that is most likely because that the prime minister's address was most likely recorded now going back to what anwar had to say it was rather thin on details he didn't say the number of m.p.'s he's got supporting him he didn't say what parties they come from since on was press conference 2 political parties have said they are behind anwar ibrahim but that's not a surprise these are parties from his opposition coalition but together they still don't have enough numbers to make up a simple majority much less a solid and convincing majority which is what anwar said so it seems like a rather bold pronouncement on his part because anwar still has one hurdle to cross now he has got to have the king's consent to be appointed as prime minister because malaysia is a constitutional monarchy the king appoints as prime minister the person who commands the confidence of the majority in parliament now at the moment anwar has

yet to meet the king the king has been admitted to hospital says he's spoken to the king he's kept him informed off developments but maria didn't prime minister didn't could also be seeking an audience with the king and even if he meets the king 1st he could very well off for parliament to be dissolved and that would trigger snap elections so there's still a lot of uncertainty about what's going to happen well what abraham succeeds he will make a dramatic comeback he will restore his alliance that was elected in 2018 it collapsed after we did we drew his party to formulate a central government to march in and you know if you don't well was convicted a sort of corruption past or go with the prime minister matter him how much he was imprisoned twice and where had fortune alliance with most of your when he was in prison that went on to win the 2018 vote and you lost of election because of a corruption scandal and what was in freed by royal pardon he was meant to be his designated successor before the alliance fell apart. probably stepped down in

february all right so it's a pretty complex situations and it's drawn on. in on a recession so shoot at the university of north you and she joins us on skype from a culture kind of blue states welcomes the program bridget what do you make of what's happening here because there is some attaining see that's a state election going on right now is this all just posturing well i think there are a number of things going on one is that there have been underlying political instability for some time now and many of these negotiations have been taking place and so we're now seeing them come to the fore i think that there are divisions within lead in the absence government and there are also divisions within our supporters and i think that many people have tried to pull defections so this is something that is remaining very fluid but is actually very real at the same time there's a state election where a lot of the tensions have come to the fore between the different parties and raise

the stakes involved and so what we've seen is another drama in malaysia where we've had the announcement being made and suppose that defections being moved across the details as was noted are scant and we don't know this specific lack who's moving and how and i think that it's going to be something that's going to play out over a period of time and of course as mentioned there are 3 options here one of course is dissolution in terms of the parliament the 2nd option is whether or not we didn't step down and makes way which is unlikely but a possible and the 3rd is that the continuation of these kind of political elite posturing which we've seen for suspects for some time now. and what everyone would need the king sanction would need to proceed with this but what if me and in gets there 1st i mean where are we heading we basically heading for snap elections doing . well right now where you can is the prime minister and he and he has the power of

that office and he doesn't have to hold a vote or make a decision in till pa and till a vote has to be called which would not be into parliament which is november in november so if this is something that still is going to be likely played out over some time i think that meeting yes and choosing to respond by speaking about the economy in 1000 assistance is an indication that he's focusing his energies elsewhere not necessarily on the political posturing of war words that it's begun yeah he spoke earlier did maybe he made no mention that's what prince position yes but i think that he faces a problem and that there was a statement made by one of his component parties the former leading party in malaysia who control the government for almost over 60 years on no and they've indicated a very sort of mixed signal so i think they're pushing for dissolution and it's not clear that they're fully backing looted yes and so we're going to have to see how

this plays out. how much they've been striking let out for so pretty well thank you . a russian opposition leader alexina valmy has been discharged from hospital in germany that's a month after being admitted for suspected poisoning the kremlin critic was being treated in berlin after he was reportedly poisoned with a nerve agent novacek in russia last month moscow denies any involvement let's hear now from dominic cain who joins us from berlin and dominic what are you hearing tell us more about. well he's not in that building behind me now the shi'ite a hospital in berlin a leading world renowned hospital that has expertise specifically in dealing with patients who present symptoms such as the ones that mr novelli presented them with that some months that he spent in that care the statement that the hospital has put out carefully worded saying that he is no longer in acute in patient care they also

say that they believe a full recovery is possible that he can make a full recovery from the condition that he has been suffering from from having that navi chalk poisoning in his system but they say they cannot guarantee that he will not in the future suffer complications from the poisoning that he was subjected to no reaction from him so far at least not publicly his last pronouncements were on his social media profiles yesterday where he talked about certain activities of the russian government in so far as his case is concerned so as i say a carefully worded statement from the hospital behind me that world renowned shot a hospital that's been treating patients who presents with conditions of poisoning russian patients who present with cases of poisoning and they say he's no longer in that acute in patient care is a few things that come to mind out there including primarily he is now bounding likely to go back to russia i think he said he would and how this all fits into the

broader context with russia. yes well given the facts as you say that he has said he wants to go back to russia the question will be the timing of that if he still intends to do so because the hospital says he's no longer in acute in patient care that does not say that he's not in out patient care that needs to be cleared up and then of there is of course as you say the wider perspective here a chorus of condemnation from capitals across this continent led by the german government saying that they they demand that prosecutors investigate this case in russia that is and they bring to justice those responsible for the poisoning here there are some other lines on this we know that the russian prosecutor general had appealed to the french government for its help in so far as the novelli case is concerned but remember as i say from an e.u.

perspective pretty much every government has condemned what happened to our election of army and said they want to find out who did this and that whoever did it be brought to justice in russia that's the situation as it stands right now one final thought there has been a suggestion in germany among certain leading conservative political circles that a controversial multi-billion euro pipeline gas pipeline linking russia with germany with that should be shelved so far at least it has not been shelved there is a little bit of pressure on the medical government to react more strongly so what's happened to mr nardelli than it has so far. thanks very much indeed john mccain there on the news and let's move on the has been discharged from the hospital. he was present donald trump has once again blamed china for the spread of coronavirus using the u.n. general assembly as his platform he accused beijing from what he called a plague on the world in response china called for unity in the fight against covert 19 diplomatic editor james bass as it's now like all the other world leaders

speaking at the u.n. president trump speech was prerecorded his words though were as controversial as. we have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in $188.00 countries in the united states we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war we fact checkers in a country that suffered more than most from cope with 19 unlikely to question those claims as the chinese ambassador to the un listened in the general assembly hall the president intensified his attack on china we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the early is days of the virus china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world before introducing president xi the chinese ambassador made an

impromptu intervention complaining about bullying and. china resolutely great acts baseless accusation against china his president in a clear contrast to president trump said international cooperation was the key to combating covert 19. 19 realize that we're living in an interconnected global village with a common stake all countries are closely connected and we share a common future no country can gain from this difficulties on the taste of billet taking advantage of the struggles in his address the president of france expressed his growing concern about the tension between the world's 2 largest economies new purpose for the today's world cannot be left to the rivalry between china and the

united states regardless of the white in the world that these 2 great powers share regardless of the history that ties us especially to the united states the collapse of the frameworks of our cooperation. the trivial ity of just referenced all of that means we must build a new order trump's speech was almost certainly the shortest ever given by a u.s. president to the un general assembly just 7 minutes long it was delivered with a machine gun like style of oh there was criticism of iran china was the main target in his sights diplomats say speeches like this do nothing to decrease the polarization on the world stage james plays out 0 at the united nations still ahead here on al-jazeera chinese tech giant well wait says it struggling after u.s. restrictions start to affect a supply chain. one of the biggest beaching of whales in australian history scientists trying to find out why nearly 500 animals are stranded off as mine.

hello there a very unsettled picture across much of europe not a great us sunshine atoll eastern sections really fairing better than anywhere else this may be a downfalls of the south and some pretty strong winds as well across much of northern europe but no real winds across the demo scenes like this of this fog just surrounding this particular area the winds will pick up probably tools the end of the week this so that shouldn't be any more morning fall but plenty of blustery conditions on wednesday some or all the heavy rain across the u.k. pushing into france training will go down into spain and portugal and all the while we have these showers and thunderstorms across central regions down across the balkans and that will all continue to spread east was move on into thursday by then some very heavy rain pushing through much of scandinavia though those winds increasing when you cross the demo the rain will say push in and as i say say is

generally very unsettled and particularly across areas of france and again northern italy in fact some areas here could pick up about 125 millimeters in the next couple days the rains really are going to be quite persistent times very heavy one day of rain in london then all the rain elsewhere in the u.k. it's mostly dry friday and saturday but touches really oh well below the average for this time of year similar scenario in paris but the shadows stay with us throughout the week and then one dr berlin and then the rain arrives. to he not global community we are our biggest opposition elbow. grease is the worst possible of looks like the part of the debate issue in each of you can jump into the conversation right away when no topic is off the table you're not afraid of anyone taking power we just go and what isn't used in the world you see is the regional getting richer and the poor getting poorer it's not kill the story the

system it's just to look at the system and adapt it to the modern world this street on out is the era. but again you're watching out there a reminder of the top stories this hour an opposition leader claims to have a strong majority to form a new government and whatever him says that prime minister really didn't yes indeed ministration has fallen and while still need to king's approval for any leadership changes to go ahead. russian opposition leader has been discharged from a hospital in germany where he was being treated for suspected poisoning for over a month a doctor saying of on he was poisoned with

a nerve agent which. donald trump has used his speech to the u.n. general assembly to attack china over the creative artist pandemic the u.s. president accused beijing of failing to share information with the outbreak began. a chinese tech giant while way says it's battling for survival against nonstop aggression as it says from the u.s. government the mobile phone maker is blocked from buying any chips made with u.s. technology over suspicions of chinese government is using its network equipment for spying the company's chairman groping has called on the u.s. to rethink the trade restrictions and its dog when is the co-host of the china tech investor podcast and a tech industry analyst and he says that some u.s. chip makers selling to well wait have already been granted exemptions to the bat. weiwei is a still the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker they are the number 2 smartphone maker in the world so if you're a chip maker and you can't sell to. big problem what we're seeing right now is that

some of these lower end chips are starting to be exempt to be able to sell the cloud way but when it comes to their higher end chips those are ones that are that that don't seem to be exempt right so what we're seeing is there is a lot of pressure from the us out of while they they're there now want it willing to allow for a way to get past this pressure hold to to a point where they can surpass some of these other large kind of u.s. dependent. medications. definitely. pressure so what we're probably going to see is that eventually we're going to see while we probably will be making a left or fewer smartphones because because they don't have the equipment and they also will will not be able to make as many of their high end smartphones the company or the subsidiary to watch here is a subsidiary of polytope i like that and that is their chip making subsidiary i think we restructured quite a bit but the way that they look at it is that it's kind of you know one step back

but a few steps forward in the future they're just kind of trying to reorganize their entire business it should not be dependent on us or us engines at all the u.s. city of louisville in kentucky is preparing for protests as it awaits an announcement about the fate of police officers who shot brianna tyler the 26 year old black woman died in monch who has become a symbol of police brutality and racial injustice state of emergency has been declared with the attorney general expected to decide whether the officers should be charged last week the city offered taylor's family $12000000.00 payout and pledged police for a full. cameron's main opposition party says one person has been killed in anti-government protests greece used to gas and water cannon to break up crowds in the economic capital it was a protest calling for an end to the long running conflict between english speaking separatists and security forces demonstrators want the president will be at to
