stay at home and that his phone and internet are being cut off. he criticized jordan's leaders for corruption and tonight being part of any conspiracy. agenda there is no outside agenda there is nothing on my part to affect the country or outside plotting from behind the scenes we listen to these accusations over and over again this is only in order to make a smokescreen over the retreat and retraction that we witness in the country every day in our beloved country. which. the video was released came shortly after 220 in state t.v. an ounce multiple arrests of former senior officials on such a night jordan's army chief denied the prince how it was among them but it didn't mention the arrest of the former head of the royal court bus and our dollar.

was a long time also that of the cheating and was at one time a minister of finance and has been arrested along with several others that were very close to the heart of court it is not clear exactly what the role that prince. played and that but clearly there has been any division inside the court that has led the security forces to consider this a danger to the stability of jordan's government. prince hamza is the half brother of king abdullah when their father king hussein passed away in 1909 king abdullah was crowned and prince hamza became the crown prince of jordan however king abdullah stripped him of this title 5 years later following saturday's arrests regional leaders including the g.c.c. were quick to express solidarity with king abdullah security personnel have been

reforms are failing today for example jordan's foreign debt has reached $35000000000.00 it's 90 percent 95 percent of the country's g.d.p. and so what that does is it lends itself to several challenges this is probably not going to lead anywhere but what the king has to do is probably raise some of the austerity measures here it's going to be very difficult because these are the conditions the i.m.f. has placed time to reduce the debt to g.d.p. ratio in order for the i.m.f. loans to continue so domestically it's going to be a tough time for the king in terms of international relations and where he stands in the region there probably won't be any changes he still held favorably in the united states and in the u.k. he's a long term ally jordan shares a very long border with israel and so there might not be any change in status quo internationally this is really a domestic rift. voting is underway and bulgaria's general election the prime

is that it goes too far the other way that it wouldn't allow the police on a much lower threshold not from the risk of serious disorder but just from public nuisance grounds to. finish times and impose more destructions on protesters the government doesn't appear minded to back down on this they have a majority in parliament theoretically they could push it through if they wanted to there will be amendments no doubt submitted by opposition parties who are very angry about it and the biggest criticism really is that it's a mammoth bill which lumps lots of different things in together for example proposes longer sentences for serious crimes not in prison sentences for less serious crimes they're kind of things that many people here in the u.k. would agree with on the protest side of things there that's where it really gets sticky and the idea of clamping down on people regard as a human right to dissent is not a popular measure. abu dhabi is set to open climate talks for the middle east and north africa on sunday u.s.
