telling the global security forum hosted in part by cats, are that an air bridge may be on the table, allowing qatar airways to fly over saudi and bahraini airspace. so we'd like to get that repsol measure color air had, was it because it was able to fly over saudi air space or bahrain airspace is an important 1st step in solving that reffed. i don't like to see that get done before and if we end up leaving office, qatar's foreign minister says the blockade which has dragged into a 4th year has no winner. everyone is losing. we are hopeful that this i think, moment and what we need to buy now is to have a serious engagement in a good faith with the other countries. and this is what i was prepared to do. i mean nothing. so it is accused of supporting terrorism, which they say that anybody who talks to anybody in the muslim brotherhood or

allows free elections if there was or talks to it. iran on this or there is no doubt is really have discredited themselves quite a bit. and it's surprising that they haven't found a face saving way to end this blockade, but let's hope this, this maybe in the u.a.e. may be a spoiler for any proposed agreement. as a brian was speaking of a resolution to the gulf crisis being a priority for the trumpet ministration. the u.s. ambassador to washington was saying otherwise, well, look at that rift. i don't think it's going to get resolved any time soon. it's a small problem. it's not really being addressed, not on anyone's, you know, priority list right now. i think we just have a very philosophical disagreement over what we want our region to look like. and we haven't really said down to figure out what the solution is. they want to go their way, we're going to go ours, and i don't think anyone pays too much attention. but the u.a.e. and other blockading countries are under pressure. the u.s. thinks better relations between the gulf countries will help its policy of

isolating iran. and they face accusations by un special rapper to work that the measures imposed on cats are, are a violation of fundamental rights aimed at limiting freedom of expression, movement and trade. and or chapell, al-jazeera. former world bank official. francisco's, the gusty has been chosen by peru's congress to be the new interim president. national leader in a week or so gusty from a centrist political party, assumes the presidency ahead of elections which will be calling for a full interim leader. manual merino, resigned on sunday 5 days after he replaced martin for scar and was impeached. sanchez is in lima, she explains why politicians chose to gusty. that is from the purple party, a centrist party, which all voted in bloc against the impeachment of former president carter. that's the main reason why he has been elected the new congress president,

to be the new interim president. a national leader in a week to gustus seems a presidency ahead of elections called for al-jazeera has obtained recordings of one of the world's most wanted men trying to negotiate immunity from prosecution. the billionaire financier joe is wanted for his role in malaysia's multi-billion $1.01 m.t.b. ford scandal. marianne jolly has this exclusive report. a warning it does contain some flash photography. these ones tutorials for these days and lifestyle luxury, real estate and super yacht, all bored with one m.t.b. money. but today the malaysian financier jolo, who is on the run, wanted by the r.g.c. in the united states and malaysia. in recordings of change exclusively by 0000, is hold for the 1st time trying to college deal with my hardy

a mohammad's government. soon after a 2 story collection, we in may 28th. just on the phone, joel over to the missile used the office to return all the assets purchased with one empty beef. and i think he's delusional. former f.b.i. special agent, deborah love provocateur, worked on the agency's initial one m.t.b. investigation. you know, it's like the bank robber who gets caught it is like, well if i return the money, then i don't want to be charged with robbing the bank. well, you still robbed the bank, and in this case, you're robbed of the development fund. and there's strong evidence he deed,, according to the man who led the f.b.i. is one m.t.v. investigation until recently. and i think we're very confident that we will be able

to prove involvement and his position in this scheme. in july this year, joe's coconspirator, malaysia's former prime minister, as you present, was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, subject to an appeal for crimes related to wanting to be back in 2018. jolo put all the blame on him, but being the fugitive to justice has proved challenging. despite 2, interpol red notices against him and multiple passports canceled. he continues to evade authorities and travel. the only way they're going to happen is through corruption and through the full resources of one or more governments. but according to the fugitive life on the run is not easy. question.

2 years on and he's still paying millions of dollars to noise and p.r. firms around the world may jolie elitch's 0. let's get more on this project. while she is with us, from kuala lumpur, she sent on a research associate at the university of north sea in malaysia. many, thanks for speaking to us, brigitte, we, are you surprised to learn that joe was negotiating immunity? you know, he's the consummate deal maker. and you know, he's now the fugitive fixer, he's trying to fix the situation for himself. but i think what it shows also is that at heart, but the government at that time chose not to make a deal, which i think is important to recognize. well, they haven't managed to detain him yet. do you think they will? is it a matter of time? well, we have a new government in malaysia, and one of the things that's happened is that we don't see the same attention to

some of the prosecutions compared to the past. but i do think that there are a number of warrants from multiple countries or jolo. so i think the chances of him actually remaining a fugitive and actually placing some sort of justice are still quite high on both sides. right now he's being protected and it looks like he's been protected by china and he seems to be in macau. and i think this is an important issue because the chinese government is says not really dressing some of the issues in terms of the calls by governments to return him back to them. why would they be? why would china be hiding him? well, we don't know, and i think a little holds a lot of those secrets. i think he has that power, but the chinese government was seen to be involved in one m.t.b. and as a consequence, there are questions that are being asked about this paint

a picture for people who might not be so familiar with this saga. how big was this scandal for malaysia and do you think the leadership has learned from it? so we're talking about minimally a $4500000000.00 scandal, the largest cut scandal in the world. and that damage goes much further than that. and it involves delavan fire and international finance relationships, apos multiple countries, from abu dhabi to china, to the united states. it involves prosecutions and investigations at 8 countries. so it is the largest international financial scandal. it has significant damage on malaysia's economy and in terms its reputation. i think what we've seen here in malaysia is there have been attempts to prosecute some of the key involved actors that have been involved. the most important of which involves the former prime

minister najib, to neurotic who has been convicted for multiple charges involving at least 12 years. these are on appeal. he still runs free in malaysia, but there are a number of trials that are coming. so we see that there is a continuation of some of the issues of justice, but of course j. lo is the key person involved in these cases, he holds all the secrets because he was the fixer in many of the deals. and of course he still, as you were article and as your cities have shown, he still remains a fugitive. but it was really interesting to get your thoughts senior research associate at the, at the university of nazi in malaysia. and the full program, joe low home for a fugitive will air again on tuesday at 600 g.m.t. oxfam says g $28.00 member countries have exported $17000000000.00, whether vomits to saudi arabia since intervene in yemen's war in 2015. a report by

influence. but not one that found favor with the electorate. even though i don't have to concede the last thing that was needed was instability. i'm not calling for people to take to the streets, we don't need destabilization. the situation is already difficult. crucial to the result was the diaspora vote. a lack of job opportunity at home has driven hundreds of thousands of old over to go abroad for work, 93 percent of them voted for some do as moldova, and as a new phase, it will require cooperation with its neighbors to open its economy and tackle corruption encouraging moldova's to stay by creating new opportunities, but will be a large part of that, as well as guaranteeing transparency in an x. soviet nation that is still living in the shadow of its past. so now you go al-jazeera. now, thousands of armenians have marched through the capital year of and demand that prime minister nick opposition. ian resigns. there is widespread anger about the
