social distancing due to pandemic fatigue and also what he called the lack of effective implementation of containment measures sending medical teams to maharashtra to assess why the situation has remained the worst in the country they over the past year he's also sending teams to the states of punjab and. just the death rate is so disproportionately high in those states now punjab has recorded has seen the highest number of cases of the u.k. variant of the corona virus but health officials in india maintain that the variants whether they are from the u.k. brazil south africa. and variants found and via those variants aren't responsible for the rise in cases they say it is because of people letting their guard down after the numbers sell as much as they did earlier this year. the prime minister. called to appeal against conviction on charges of stealing hundreds of millions of

the prime minister at that time should have known what was happening so the appeal argument is largely going to be based on those same grounds that knowledge it was a victim and that he had been lied to and that the trial judge had made an error in dismissing evidence that defense lawyers will appeal lawyers argue will show that not just had indeed been misled and that misled into believing that the money found in his account was a donation from the saudi royal family this financial scandal was so big that at its height at least 6 countries when vesta gating it and investigations found that high ranking officials and major financial institutions were implicated now in the last couple of months in the recent months malaysia recovered more than $3000000000.00 from us bank goldman sachs audit firm deloitte and malaysian financial group bank in relation to settlement deals related to one and d.b.

. on sunday the jordanian government said it watered what it calls a malicious plot to destabilize the country the half brother of king abdullah says that he's being punished for speaking out against corruption. reports. it was talk about the 0 hour to government said that prompted jordan's king abdullah to give the green light for the arrest of more than a dozen people including best of my wife a former head of the royal court and finance minister he then became part of the inner circle of prince hamza bin has seen the house bred of the king who was also crown prince until he was removed from the role in 2004 jordan's deputy prime minister a minute 70 said that beyond a doubt the inner circle of prince hamza were coordinating with foreign parties and opposition abroad a plot to destabilize the country where. the state intelligence with already has

been closely monitoring activity from his highness hamza surely for some desired by some of the lower and others whose movements were aimed at undermining our stability and security the surveillance intercepted movements including communication with foreign sides on a so-called 0 hour to trigger measures aimed at undermining else to belittle shortly after the arrests prince hamza appeared in a video saying he had been put under house arrest for a bit in from communicating with the outside world i claim later denied by jordan chief of staff that prince also took the unprecedented move of publicly criticizing the leadership of the country i am not the person responsible for the breakdown in governance for the corruption and for the incompetence that has been prevalent in. our governing structure for the last 15 to 20 years and has been getting worse either you're. not responsible for the lack of faith that people have in their

institutions. their response the former crown prince had been sidelined since his removal from power but he is said to have been forging ties with this gruntal tribesman and the loosely organized opposition known as haddock that has been calling for mass protests so far the government hasn't revealed the scope of the alleged plot but some say it's unlikely it was aimed at directly overthrowing king abdullah you can't have a coup or lesser security people involved so i don't think and you know this whole idea of a plot there is just not true there is there is clearly. an internal issue that has come out in the public and i think in a way it has turned out not in the favor of some of the people who began this process of arrests it's not clear what will happen to the former crown prince king abdullah said to favor an amicable solution for the sake of the royal family and the stability of the country there are still many questions that remain and answers

the government says it will reveal all details in due course but if anything recent events reveal deep divisions within the royal family of a country considered a beacon of stability within a turbulent middle east. i doubt that how many al-jazeera. and principals are has said that in a newly released voice recording that he would disappear orders by the army to not communicate with the outside world after he was put under house arrest. listen to action is a little bit difficult so all the gods have left and the chief of staff to threaten me on behalf of top agencies officials were recorded his words and send them to my family and those i know outside the country just in case something happened i am now waiting for a direction i am not going to escalate but i will not by myself by their waters to stay at home not to use my tweeter or to be in contact with people and not to see
