symbol way is full of holes on the ground. there's no infrastructure to deal with the human way and toxic chemicals to bring you more reward, winning documentaries, and live on air and online. mm . hello, non taylor. and under the top stories on i'm to 0 as fighting intensifies enough dentist on the been to large explosions in the capital capital the 1st half near the defense ministers house and the busy market square around the 45 green zone. witnesses of also reported here and gunfire. there's been no word on any casualties, but the defense minister tweeted, do not worry. everything is fine. short, bennett has more from couples. we understand it. 3 attackers have been killed. 30

people have been evacuated and that special forces remain on the scene outside the defense ministers. whole nother started at around 8 pm. my colleagues were actually on the way to dinner, when about 300 meters ahead of them. this explosion went off. the cow was hit by a shockwave, they sparks, i saw a large plume of smoke and they managed to get out of the situation. the defense minister appears to have been the target of this. he wasn't harm at the time. neither was his family. as you said, he twisted afterwards saying, do not worry, everything is r k. more gunfire. don't worry, everything is tight, but he's only recently come into this job. but he was picked for it because he has a lot of experience on the battlefield. he's been fighting for more than 40 years with the soviets. when he fought the taliban once before. under a trauma servers and in the south of africa, stones, civilians had been ordered to leave the city of laska as security forces fight back

against the taliban. at least 200000 people live there. the un says at least 40 people have been killed in the past 24 hours in some of the heaviest combat in the center of the city. at this particular time, we call on every one to seize the military. still, it is in the urban settings, the seas far as the only option to prevent casualties among the civilians. the situation in cargo is very difficult. the population is trapped and probably does not have a means of escaping from the city. an oil tanker thought have been hijacked off the coast to the united arab emirates, with several other ships signaling they're in trouble for kinda maritime trade. agency says a potential hijack is unfolding of food gera. it appears to involve a bit human tanka called the asphalt princess for other ships in the area, reported that they were not on the command suggesting they've lost power and can no longer steer ron's revolution regard as denied that iranian forces or their allies

are involved saying it's a pretext for hostile action against iran. villages have been evacuated as a large wildfire creeped closer to the outskirts of the greek capital on 300 firefighters trying to contain the blaze, which is currently near an industrial area. in a suburb of athens, temperature of mover, 40 degrees celsius and dry winds of fanned the flames of more than a 100 separate fires. prime minister says it's the worse heat wave, the country has seen in more than 30 years. same bas robbie has more from northern athens. this fires started shortly after noon local time. and since then, what we've seen is a rescue workers on the ground as well as aerial drops from helicopters and planes trying to drop as much water as possible for the sun went down to try to get the blaze under control. now we spoke to one of the deputy governors in charge of this area and he said that what they had hoped is that they would have been able to get the fire under control. well, before the sun went down,

that did not happen. they weren't sure they could, and it turned out they could not make this happen. after the sun went down, the aerial drop stopped, and we saw numerous team, dozens of industrial vehicles, dozens of firefighting vehicles, water tankers, military heavy equipment, including full dozers and a number of teams. go in down this road straight into the fire zone. and what we've seen is wherever the fire had been put out before it is re igniting again, and firefighters and turkey working around the clock as while fast continue to spread in coastal resort towns. these pictures are from the town of boardroom winds and temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. finding 95 in the area. fighting planes were spain and krisha afloat into help. those were top stories to stay with us out there. world is up next morning for you, straight off to that. thanks for watching unit. ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah ah, a mysterious death? possibly a tragic accident. another theory is suicide. while some observers are convinced this very public death in central london was an act of murder. the victim man of wealth,

power and intrigue. ah, it was a mid week summer afternoon in the british capital. and most londoners were going about their daily business. it was a wedding day, the followers of british politics. remember as the day when prime minister tony blair was on his way to buckingham palace to offer his resignation to queen elizabeth. but there was another important event on that cloudy afternoon. ah, count in house terraces, one of london's most fashionable addresses, former residents into sweet, previous british prime ministers. it lies just a few 100 meters from piccadilly circus. ah, on that june day in 2007, the genteel rose garden was filled with police 1st responders to the strange discovery of

a man's body lying on the mon. the body was that of 63 year old doctor ashley, small one father of 2, a billionaire businessman and a spy. ah, his fall from a fish floor balcony, which spot more questions than answers. and he fallen. did he jump or was he pushed? dr. my one was the 3rd dejection living in london to die in this way. in 1973 lead gyptian ambassador to the u. k. general lacy, nazis fell from a balcony in the very same building. and in 2001 actress who at hoss me known as the cinderella of egypt in cinema, also found to her death. ah, it generally accepted the dash off mar, one was a highly valued intelligence agent. but what is in dispute is whether he was working for israel for his native egypt,

or both. as is a case with any unexplained death in britain, a police investigation and a coroner's court would attempt to find answers their role to draw a different sections of law enforcement into the investigation. the eat him be plenty of decks and diamond fee. oh, not too many common roof and plenty of your question, but he could just if you up to you and she had the police walked out of a little note she has she been with you some metropolitan police and the last one would miss dial one to try to get him out of new scotland yard. in britain there's a strict police protocol when arriving at a suspicious incident,

it's essential that evidence is preserved clues that may be of value later in the investigation. they tend to seen, they should seal the area. so there's 2 areas to see here. one is where the person has fallen, so that entire area should be sealed because there may be important evidence. secondly, the apartment from where the person has fallen that a needs to be sealed as well. it's very important that these areas a sealed because the forensic detail nice don't wanna come out yet and see what was wrong or neck short, a short buffered in my, in a ditty little car in the autumn. a couple enable them though. she tells you

there were 3 immediate explanations facing the police, an accident, suicide, or murder. in some cases because is obvious and as evidence and then some police attention is drawn to a single conclusion. absolutely, the police are quite frequently can do that. and the problem is, once they do that, then they will look for the evidence to support that theory. a potentially ignoring other more profitable avenues that they could be going down or discarding bits of evidence that didn't fit without the theory. so that can be a problem. and it happens fairly regularly. in this case, the police had undertaken an investigation, but it seems that the police had already pre determined themselves that this is a suicide case. the police have come to the coroner's court. that said, this man is form over the balcony. we don't have any other evidence. what is certain is that dr. mar. one was alive. when he tumbled over the balcony of his

luxury apartment, initial police investigations looked at all possible options. the former editor of the british newspaper, the independent, has followed the case closely. at the time he poured out over the suicide theory, saying there were too many unanswered questions. no. all thing i do know about him are 2 things. one is very proudman. and i don't think proudman kill himself, not law. and the 2nd thing was he is a very meticulous man, and i don't believe he was as left unfinished business. it wasn't clear whether he i think it was a no. so i think if it was i from the to know bus to seem

right to me, the coroner's court would later establish that mar, one, died from a traumatic rupture to the l. water, the main artery, carrying blood from the heart. according to this document published by wikileaks, mo one's family does not believe he took his own life. he was planning for the future, and suicide did not figure in his plans. doctor, my one's family will very much of the mind that he did not commit suicide. so in order to persuade the coroner, the coroner sorry that this was not a case of suicide. one would have to highlight certain things. how did dr. m? i want to present in the days, weeks leading up to the 27th of june, 2007. did it seem happy? did he have any plans? so i understand his wife was very clear that this was

a 63 old man with everything to live for. he was still working. he still had an active life. and in fact, she had holidays plan with his grandchildren. so you would highlight that, you know, this is somebody who got ongoing plans the, they anticipate being around not taking their own life in the inquest took place in london some 3 years later they declared an open verdict. meaning that the death was suspicious, but with no clear cause me that he should need well, when, when the low would lead to her? was it in? no, hey, it shut off the little one. what turkey bird weight isn't that to can i don't probably. or the day he let me out the good in nor can you when it may you can and your

d a d look are and be and mostly can mrs. empower why the mostly listen and the lease or neck. cathy haseb calling everybody plenty annual when they're shooting. i didn't delete them or some teenage in the rush. i went on a fish in the hallway and that is between the whole it what about open addict for all day. and so the open addict is where the coordinate saying something is wrong here. but i don't know what happened. there is not enough evidence before me to come to any conclusion as to how this death occurred before the court opened it the me some voted years in ashley. my one money mona

gammel. i don't nasa, daughter of egypt. then president gama. i've done nasa. ah, on the day her husband died. mona was in beirut, mother to son's wedding cairo. there are no independent witnesses to whatever card at 24 carlton house terrace on that june afternoon in 2007 local to be prime minister for 10 years. but 10 years, he's event our country and no one can be in any day. he has considerable achievements. credit. can i say, there are plenty of theories, but hard facts are in short supply the scene offered investigators a lot of clues, but nothing definitive enough for them to come to a conclusion as to what exactly happened in the apartment.

mm. mm. shops of life and death were equally enigmatic, both filled with incomplete details and half answered questions just who was ash off mar, one. only those who were closest to him can genuinely answer the question. one british journalist succeeded in contacting more one's family. mm. i spent about 6 months trying to speak someone from the moment family via their british lawyers, off to after a long period of time onyx to basically i kind of given up on ever hearing from them. and then after the blue, i got an email from that who was low and younger,

younger son. and he said meet me in london tomorrow lunchtime. so of course i race to the next day. he was smoking and very thoughtful, and his answers, he took a long time to answer every one of my questions. so i asked him about some questions initially just to tell me by his father. what was it like right up, came in with some of the more pressing questions that i had. for example, you know, does it, did he believe that his father killed himself and if not, and who was behind his death? for the moment family, it was very important that the coroner's inquest would show that she did not kill himself for that face. and for also the pride they they are completely satisfied that investigation show that to me the case went, did not kill himself for me. quite by that because it was my father and i found out

that he didn't commit suicide wants to know why he wasn't with us. i. there's some evidence that dr. my one thought in those final days that his life was on the threat. i know one's widow. mona nurse has rarely spoken publicly about her husband's death, but in july 2010, she did agree to an london newspaper interview. she claimed the agents of the israeli intelligence as masa were behind her husband's death. though there's no evidence to back this up. she said that her husband feared for his life, believing that assassins were coming after him. and she categorically ruled on the possibility of suicide, saying they were a happy couple with everything to live for. she told the paper that quote,

there is no way he killed himself. it is so painful to think about one's husband being thrown over the balcony. so who were ash off? my one's enemies might be on july in egypt, where it's being claimed me a gyptian businessman was spying for israel. ah, and together i'm not one pendant dick if you did. and if he had told us of milan, who had their lia problem on when it was for me to go to the diamond in my home. when i was to my darling, we got at the lead again to get and get me here to be at least age no, no more. one became exceptionally wealthy through his business dealings in london.

he owned a share in chelsea football club and had a business reputation for playing by his own rules. tale upset, lots of dozens of companies all over the place. and lichtenstein and he was under any deal that even make money from now. i've got no direct knowledge of these deals, but i do know of a number of companies that he was involved with. and any one of those to live turns the ones to be most lone and in many ways distinguished his marriage to the daughter of egypt. and president opened many doors for him. some believe that he owed his reported billionaire status to having a master fortune brokering alms deals. during his lifetime, milan was described as a diplomat, a businessman, a politician,

a government adviser, under spine. it's likely that at different stages, he performed all of these wrongs. but the name of my one is best known for espionage. there's no question that he spied for israel. he may, however, have been a double agent when his true loyalty being to his native egypt. when there's all countries, if there's any other country interested in intelligence, that's the way you know, watch kill, and i mean, sometimes your friends think. so the best way, having someone so close to, to the president, someone that was the son in law of government. the nasa, the president said that was invaluable, full accumulating information and close to the decision making as was the case or for any coin. these are any spy in the moscow's

a few years earlier. at 1st the suggestion that ashcroft more one, a man at the very heart of injection society, at spite or israel seems implausible. ah, what's intriguing about the luncheon. again, there are many things that we don't know what we do. i think fairly well documented from the israeli side, not from the chips and site is that was offered his own services to write these there are several stories about how my one was recruited as an israeli spy. one comes from newly bod, joseph, and also who's written extensively about israeli intelligence. in 2016, bon joseph, published the angel egyptian spy, who saved israel. this account of my one's life says he was code named the angel by

israeli intelligence. the book claims that my one phoned the israeli embassy in london offering his services after being initially rebuffed, more one and a senior more side agent agreed to meet ah, i see these phone calls and messages followed. the mazda and agents realized quickly that this was a potential source like no other. the son in law of the egyptian president, a message was sent to my one, to go to a nearby cafe. ah, these railings would initially skeptical of the approach, wondering if my one's true intention was to become a double agent in order to feed false information. back to them. more

one pushed an old across the table. later the jerusalem post reported the european head of most ad saying that material like this from a source like this happens once in a 1000 years. well, any case officer who receives potential walk in or a double agent will always assume the worst. and the best way that a walk in can establish their credentials is by producing festival proof of their own identity. secondly, proof of their access to the kind of information that would be of interest to the recipient. and thirdly, best of all would be to provide a specimen. so examples of really good intelligence which demonstrates the status of the agent and his or level of access as to the contents of the envelope handed over in london cafe. that remains

a mystery. also unknown. and subject to much speculation, among one's motives. obviously one of the documents are $48.00, provided those under laps and take time until all of them would be a good fit for the fact it's, you go, you become even closer to sad that that it was twist father in law. that was more suspicious of fame soluble as it is, it is a young playbook that was more interested in political power and ins on, you know, in, in his life that was coming up the daughter this was a time of profound political change in egypt. on the 28th of september, 1970 nasa suffered

a sudden heart attack and died at the age of $52.00. he was exceeded by almost and this could have spelled the end of ash off my one's position at the heart of government an influence in egypt. but instead he drew close to sadat, shielding him from political opponents and earning trust along the way. he represented egypt and a number of high level missions with 2 arab neighbors, saudi arabia and libya, ah, my one was position at the center of egypt, decision making. while at the same time feeding information to its greatest regional adversary. israel. a sophomore one. for the bill of someone that's sad that we like closer to mo, western minded, small economic minded and as a result of 50 trusted him. but the more we talk to the in the more

a sophomore on became invaluable. today's ladies from the coming up in part 2, arms dealing political maneuvering. spy, craft, the everyday world of ash rough, more one. and that's high on promise, as he talk many, many season disappointed, a lot of people and the one of his business deals could have gone wrong or he took money on people he should not have done. and there was an aspect of revenge ah, indiscriminate get those living in poverty a far more vulnerable to the dangers of covert 19 alley. re examined the reasons for this disparity,

the social and economic inequality that surround us much deeper and much more problematic than we thought dos where the lessons learned from the global pandemic could lead to positive change because of the effect that can all hail the locked down expose of privilege and poverty. during a crisis on a jazzy yugoslavia disintegrated war descended on its inhabitants. amidst the death and destruction, one man created a peaceful microcosm for boys whose fathers faced each other in battle. episode 3 football rebels enters the world. a foot boarding legend press drag push each went from coaching boys, football to teaching young men life. frederick push each of the seizure sarajevo on al jazeera. our coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of. every time i travel, whether it be still west africa,

people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate coverage. and our focus is not just on their suffering, but also on the more realistic and inspiring story. people trust to tell them what's happening in their communities in a clear and bias. and that's an african. i couldn't be more proud to be autumn, you know the

through the like the non taylor and under the top stories are now to 072 large explosions in the afghan capital campbell. the 1st happened near the defense ministers, house and a busy market square around the fortified green zone. witnesses of also reported here and gunfire. at least 4 people have been killed and 20 wounded. and in the south, rough got his tongue. civilians have been ordered to leave laska, gar,
