[000:00:00;00] ah, al jazeera ever struck. ah, this is al jazeera, i'm getting another game with a check on your world headlines. wildfires are stretching, emergency crews, and turkey on southern europe. in turkey there among the worst in its history. at least 14 fires across 6 provinces are posing a threat firefighters or broad another 160 others under control. since last week,

8 people have died and more than 16000 people have been forced to leave their homes . and thousands of people on the outskirts of the greek capital have been forced to leave their homes. the wildfire moves closer, more than $500.00 firefighters are trying to contain that blaze in an industrial area in a suburb of athens. temperatures of more than 40 degrees celsius and dry winds have found the flames of more than $100.00 separate fires. famous robbie isn't athens with an update? air drops of water, put out fires about 100 meters in this direction and where we drove up behind us fires are rekindling there. and that really is the fear now that the fires that had been put out because of the extreme heat, are now rekindling in the same places that the firefighters that you just saw behind me were fighting those blazes just 24 hours ago. and it seems that the optimism of this morning that officials had hoped this fire could be put out in a matter of hours that has certainly faded in the fear. now,

is it that rekindling is going to get worse? for hot weather has also been driving huge fires in italy. tourists on residents have been evacuated from the coastal cities of catania and pescadero. firefighter say they face hundreds of blazes in populated areas in the past few days, but they're starting to get some under control. the taliban is warning of more attacks against top afghan government officials. earlier on wednesday, the travel was shaken by another explosion near a defense facility. the taliban claim responsibility for tuesdays car bama task that follow the gun battle near the home of the defense minister. 8 people were killed is really for says, a fired several rockets into lebanon after 2 rockets were fired from the south of lebanon and they landed inside israel. they landed in the area of curious mona. there were no injuries residence in northern israel had been told to stay home,

commemorates and on march is taking place right now in lebanon to mark one year since the b route port explosion, which kills more than 200 people. it's back to al jazeera world. next, who's sha small one was an egyptian millionaire, businessman living in an up market london apartment, married to the daughter of former egyptian president, gumble danasia. he appear to have everything to live for. my one was also a man of sequence. it's known that he spied for israel, but he may also have been a double agent loyal to egypt. such questions came to an abrupt end. when on a summer afternoon in june, 2007, his body was found in the garden of the building where you lived. did my one fall

from his 5th floor balcony? did he job? or was he pushed? ah, in a book written by a former director of israeli intelligence at the time of the 1973 out of israeli war refers to a secret agent supplying high level information to israel. the claim was that this operative was working deep inside the government of egypt, president saddam. it was alleged that this by fans, these ratings crucial information about egypt plans for military engagement with israel. it's also claimed really sensitive information about russian art supplies, things with egypt. the many believe that ashcroft mar one was this agent perpetuating

a mystery that is still unresolved. he remains celebrated as a loyal intelligence agent by both israel and egypt. i will have allison to you about that. the 3rd week and into the middle of the school and can to help us out on adams. so i will figure that you'll get until that is may have monument elected. lemme lemme not one of them at $130.00 the, at the elementary and embedded. keep them a lot of thought. don't let me get your ideas from what i was thinking about would one can, i mean i can delegate for a young or listen,

been the most controversial moment of ash off mall. one's life as a spy. came in october 1973. when it's alleged, he tipped off israel about an eminent attack by egyptian forces, a series of clandestine meetings and phone calls involving prearranged code words. warned to israel that the 1973 out of israeli war was just hours away. this coincided with a jewish day of atonement, young comport when much of israel was closed for the holiday. intel of eve, the government faced a decision 6 months. anna marwan had given a similar alert, but the predicted attack did not come. there was also some confusion over the time of the attack, whether it would come by day or night. i don't to lay to watch them

all, not convincing enough to leave it to mobilize its, its reserve forces. bending mind isn't always at the start to g, the coast groups of the one that need to hold any supplies attack fully on $48.00 to $72.00. our analysts agree that more one did indeed allow israelis about the stone wall. it's also clear that he's predicted time was out by a few hours. was this simply a mistake or a deliver attack to roam foot these really military i think this is as i heart of why there speculation about him being an egyptian double agent. because if he said this information and it was wrong, even just marginally will, it still gave you a huge advantage. you know, they were able to cross the series,

can not they were able to regain some of the sinai. so i think can it's interesting . it could well have been that he didn't have entirely the right time, and it was an innocent mistake and he was just trying to help these raise. but i think also it does cost a very interesting life. actually, him potentially still being an egyptian don't agent with both sides, claiming i shop more one as a hero who would want him dead. it's possible that which ever country he was really betray, may have exacted revenge. again, there are theories, but little hard evidence. what makes sense doesn't necessarily happens in a story, but if this is the case that he was killed by someone, there is more than one candidate to do that. so he said it's the massage, the not for with some of his enemies in egypt. so what has

egypt got to say in response to israeli sources who claim my one as one of their agents, was his desk, an act of revenge in response to his legs betray him of egypt. national secrets. miss alverado must say on. how does your leisure thought of the matter much? well by then i was going to show one on your mac hotel at dana hospital, but when i got you guys in london, you have to just sort of, marsha went on and you can call it is of value to work. awesome. what about a senate by one of one of the of a n and the new i've been with while i live in the 3 i started by one. can i'm young with them, letting them know what to that licorice in the metal at them. welcome. ah, if my one was murdered and that's by no means certain,

could those responsible have been linked with his business dealings? following the october 1973 war egyptian president, saddam pointed ash off mar, one as a presidential international representative. in march 1974, i decree, appointed mar, one to this high profile hall, i placed the newly appointed emissary in the same sphere as leaders of other powerful arab countries. at this point, it's likely that my one entered the lucrative and at times murky world of military weapons procurement by them on a sofa and the free and what that but it along them. but it has the article seat, the photo wall on on. it means getting

a dollar will be electric and then if you're talking to me and let me look up the local these on a $981.00 more, one left egypt and started a new life in london. he thrived in london's corporate business, having already forged high level connections in the middle east. he made new business relationships with prominent figures, including the late tiny roland, a controversial high profile business figure. roland was connected with a company called tradewinds, with an international footprint. more one also maintained his contact in the middle east, including with my got off on down cousin and close. confident of the then libyan leader mcguffey. the idea of trailer was a private company,

which would was rolands input transport throughout the middle east and africa goods. and services that modeling for them produced including weapons. and the trade winds company was supposed to be shepherding weapons around africa, the libyans and everybody else can beth allen? i mean, leave, can be raised to get that island. not one island doesn't affect well, hopefully you feel of the bargain though i yet and also by the way, i mean, i could ask about that where i mean it could it be that more one's desk was connected to his dealings in the international arms trade show my law and policy must yet she left her level and got a commitment and she the heads up, your motive. dizzy to him, used to feed to watch me, which is

a mother present the gora madam. across that a lot of he was a lot of he sort of said much more money than i already. that is i can get kind of get out of natasha. the 2nd move in. yeah, lot of the player minute do i let me tell it what kind of mobile i have do up here on mac and i have them shot them up well, but i'm and off and on. i mean, my one's business dealings in london were complex. he bought and sold commercial property and invested in several high profile british companies across a wide range of sectors. he also had a stake and a leading london football club. i shelf mo

and probably 7 or 8 times. most of those times were in the late eighty's, late 908 case had been introduced to him by connie roland and the point one for me . the interest for me at the time was that he had been buying shares stakes in a loss of british compass. he suddenly appeared from nowhere and he was dying strategic steaks. 15 percent here, 30 percent. and nobody knew who was well throughout the matching, much, much from then on my one was very active as a businessman in london, he had a huge number of properties and investments. he was a major investor in chelsea football club and was involved in many good deals with

handling companies of in the u. k. in the early 1980 is more one was on the fringes of a high profile, feared between his friend tiny roland and the egyptian businessman mohammed and fired the 2 were battling for control of the house of fraser. the company that then owned the luxury in london. the pop in store harris fired sir milan because my one's connection with a government in egypt and fire was a legit and his connections throughout the middle east and the propensity from one to do great harm than the opinion of 5 years should he wished to do said ma'am, it, i'll fire her private detective following a shaft mo, one and tiny row and all the time they were la,

my one enrolled into like partnership and they were following my wanna enrollment. meanwhile, roland and no one has their own seen with trucks, texas following else. and so everywhere they went to london around the world of things prior to texas, following each other in the end, the feud between the 2 tie tunes reached his own natural conclusion. i think the feud the, the tiny roland feared ended with tanya rose, death tiro, and died quite a while ago of natural causes. he had a cancer, i think he died and i saw a lot of fires around the time of death and dosage death. i never heard fire till the mon, i think mo, and had become a rather forgotten figure,

rather lonely figure. he didn't have the same power. happy saw. in his later years, friends recalled a tall man, nearly 2 meters immaculately dressed, with a mysterious air journalist spoke of his charm, but added that he gave little away. william allan was a man that turn left high on promise, as he took many, many sees and disappointed. a lot of people and the one of his business deals could have gone wrong or talk money on people he should not have done. and there was an aspect of revenge returning to national small ones, final hours, they were spent in a luxury apartment in central london while one lives in a very expensive and luxurious apartment building carlton terrace

carlton house terrace is the london home for the british foreign secretary and the bottom of that as the admiralty arch, which is an enormous flap which is held by people in high position and government, or deputy prime ministers. given his background, those who followed the case closely are convinced that he was being monitored by british intelligence. my wife was very well known to the intelligence services because they had a very good reason to keep an eye on him because he was in to ferry in the body politic and the whole of the middle east. while he was domiciled in london. and why wouldn't they keep an eye on him because it was in their interest to do so. kind of now it has nothing that can be confused, can walk up and can you drop a total cost more often for work about a medical model could walk about if you had said you'll come fidel. good luck on

the fact that the cctv cameras were not working that day. certainly hampered any search for truth or closure. the issue of the cctv has also been a subject of debate in the u. k. we have a huge number of very, very high number of cctv coverage. most people assume every cctv camera is on 247. so if you take this into, into context with the other issues, the fact that we are told that the 50 tv was not recording, i would say, raises questions. another question which may give clues as to what happened on the june afternoon, is about my one's physical and mental health. the clash of moran, nancy marie, shift from nice bridge. maddox to wish the michelle and the promotion went on

behalf to the 11th all with her in them. i can value and then mission past ill. bessler was highly kinda startled to the haunted him unless he let me know if he was indeed in such poor health. what he has been physically capable of throwing himself from a balcony in the context of this matter. it's very odd because you have a man at 63 old man, apparently has neuropathy of his feet and cannot and go into the bathroom, unassisted. if you take that in conjunction with a high balcony, for 63 year old male with pain in his feet. how did he access the balcony? and how did he come to go over the balcony?

in the go with liam. no one can go good. i will be communicating them. i should have the quantity on the ship. so there's another question, one which some sources dispute? it's being claimed that i shall, more one was waiting a tell all book a memoir that is adversaries may have preferred not to see published on the topic of missing evidence. there is also of cause a lot of questions about dr. mall one having started writing his memoirs and audio tapes accompanying those mom was this would have been the full story of his life and who it worked for babson. it was 340 and work with 300 pages or something like that. apparently. so substantial piece of writing that he'd be doing as well as some tapes in which he'd dictated what he'd written. now,

nobody actually saw this man was nobody heard the tapes birth. apparently they existed, they were on the shelf in his apartment. when the police arrived t cord not seen and went through his belongings, they were missing. so the question arises, what they removed, did the place missed them? or did the police lose them? ah, the matter of the alleged missing memoirs is a question the don't to 0 wanted to put to london's metropolitan police who investigated the case. however, they declined the request to appear in this program. ah, in those days, the london place were a branch of the conservative party. and it's not the same now, but when you have a high profile, dis adam binged on the government,

then the metropolitan police will do their best to cover things up and manipulate. not the same now. well, witnesses to mar, ones full from the 5th floor balcony. 4 men were meeting at an adjacent building. by coincidence, they worked for one of the victims companies. i'm expecting to meet their boss later in the day. one witness, joseph capacity says he saw dr. mar one phone later he claimed to have seen 2 men of middle eastern appearance looking from a balcony, but could not confirm that this balcony was at mar. one's address. ah, i'll just wrote to mister re party and to another witness as i'm joking. however, neither man ah, so what is known of the 2 men set to be of middle eastern appearance?

apparently that's just what's being reported. and the 2nd wave of investigation reported that the yes they did know who they were, but then is being kept to the secret. so you know, this, you see very much in the bushes intelligence establishment cover up around this case, which is suspicious in itself. however, any criticism of the police investigation must be seen in the context of the outcome of the coroner's inquest. it declared what's called an open verdict, the legal time for a dash that is suspicious, but unexplained. if they knew, for instance, who may have had a reason to kill my one and that did not suit the body politic to explore it much further than they would cover it up. and they were covered up for 2 reasons. in my opinion, firstly, that would have done the british government. no good. i man like

my one who was no longer around. well, that could be thought to be as pages. he's gone. he said no use to us. he says no harm to us any more. let's not rock the boat. the 2nd same as a turbulence in the middle east touches bad enough anyway. you don't want to start an investigation meant to find perhaps of one of your allies may have had a hand and the, and the murder of a protectionist. in a bed investigation, but could politics ah, the life and death of ash off mar, one has all the plot twists of a gripping spice story. one reason why he's been the subject of several books, tv, documentaries, and dramas. the truth of his life is in every sense, stranger than fiction. his marriage to the teenage daughter of the egyptian

president gamma loved another his later relationship with nasa successor. and was that his move to london and the phone call to the israeli embassy offering his services. despite his role in the 1973 arab israeli war, did he tip off israel to give them a military advantage or deliberately pass on flowed information to help egypt? spy, on trader international wheeler, dealer in london, accumulating vast wealth. and in june 2007, his unexplained death. as with all spies stories, the lines between truth lies fact and fiction. and never quite what they see me.

ah news news. news, news. news. a year ago, one of the largest nuclear lots and history killed, more than 200 people and injured 1000. the victims families still need answers. we want to compute just how did dangerous chemicals end up in sports. let's be profession. it was not intended for muslim big and was the whole stockpile unloaded from the ship? the missing amal and it was a move in one way or another. and the legal way before join me for their,
