dredge project mixed with legacy process water and storm water runoff but some of the water is a byproduct of processing phosphate or into fertilizer and it contains nitrogen and ammonia and that could be a problem if too much pumped into nearby water since i retired from the fire department i'm now i'm a full time commercial fisherman and crab or and have all of this water is pumped in or leaked into the bay it could be catastrophic to the entire fishery and could in essence put us out of business. state officials insist the water it's really seen is safe but that the bigger concern is a potential flash flood they are hoping that by pumping out more than a 1000000000 liters a day they are slowly averting a much bigger crisis. al-jazeera still ahead here on al-jazeera new restrictions for india's wealthiest states is a daily coronavirus cases surged to a new high class. discard phase i was hit by

to parliament by his district so let's take this on we can bring in isa no whose was political secretary to former prime minister najib razak the son who is a senior fellow with the sea appointed cheat of international affairs and a former political secretary to night she writes i.q. joins us via skype from quite welcome to the program sir so previously said it's 12 years in jail fines of nearly 50000000 dollars have we got any indication as to how no jobs lawyers will argue his case well i think the main argument to be forward by mr not gets the lawyers would be that. amount of money even if they trust frame to mr not gets accounts they would be elliptical contribution and under malaysia's elections law there's no profit bishan for political contributions even from unmanned sources so i think that would be likely maintain trust of the

arguments to be forward but in depute process wasn't his original argument that he was jute into this and they appear the judges at that point ruled that it was far fetched in a week fabrication so why would they change their mind. well i think the process is usually on a point of law this. sets up peculiar charges be relatively easy to convict because the requirements for what we call man israel or what they accused person with thinking about what was his intent at the point of committing the at last crime it's usually not quite present to india sets off charges so it's like didn't get it so now amount of money transfers. and the sources of that money it's somewhat an effort receipts are non and so on would

be very easy for you to be convicted and taking his lawyers will argue that number one he did not intend up on that with those money coming in and number 2 if they were coming in than the amounts of money would be political contribution. any sense of which way the judges might go writing at this point is too early to tell we are looking at more than one thing approximately 2 weeks of all arguments and then he would take perhaps weeks if not mock anspaugh the judge just right get brown spot judgement and then yes a longer process afterwards and there's more to come off to that is no further legal cases including case his wife and several officials from his party in previous government oh yes indeed mr not convict of the 1st set of what we call s r c charges and then the. ongoing for exam photo that soco
