ah ah 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, a man of wealth, power, and intrigue. ah,

me, 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, counting house terrace is one of london's most fashionable addresses. former residents include sweet previous but his 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 loan. the body was that of 63 year old doctor ashley, small one father, the tomb. a billionaire businessman and a spying ah, his fall from the 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 egyptian living in london to die in this way. in 1973, the egyptian ambassador to the u. k. general lacy nasa, if fell from a balcony in the very same building and in 2001 actress sewer host, me, known as the cinderella of egyptians cinema also found to her death. ah, it generally accepted that i shall small 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 the case with any unexplained death in britain, a police investigation and a coroner's court would attempt to find answers their role to draw different sections of law enforcement into the investigation. you can be plenty of time and need not to bo payment any common rule, plenty of person, but he attested yorkie and she had the i believe was awesome. but i don't know if she has, she must use some metropolitan police. and the last medical one would miss dial one 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 seal hair. 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 we need to be sealed as well as very important that these areas a sealed because the forensic detail nice, don't wanna talk. he was wrong on that. a shot. i shot that person in my in a diddy little car in the got autumn. a couple enable them until there were 3 immediate explanations facing the police, an accident, suicide,

or murder. in some cases, the call is, is obvious. and as evidence, man, some police attention is drawn to a single conclusion. absolutely, the police 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 teeth 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. they said this man is formed 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 ferry, 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 themselves, not lawyer. and the 2nd thing was he has 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 know. so i think it was, i meant to know busing this to seem right to me. the coroner's court

would later establish the 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 we can lease more one's family does not believe he took his own life. she was planning for the future and suicide did not figure in his plans. dr. my one family, it will very much of the mind that he did not commit suicide. so in order to persuade the cardinal the court in the story that this was not a case of suicide, mom would have to highlight certain things. so how did dr. m, i want to present in the days, weeks leading up to the 27th of june, 2007. did he 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 has the 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 simmer. sure. well, when, when haley lowered the leading to her? was it in no, hey, it shut off the little one. what turkey bird weight is in there to can i don't probably. or the daddy let me out the good in nor can few when it may you can and your d a d l o r o n b,

and miss lucas misses in our way. the mostly list and alisa odette, cathy haseb, calling everybody plenty any when their doctors visit him in dan was to let tina have di he in the commercial on a fish, to spit in the hallway and murphy, charlotte is between the whole. what about open dick from all day? and so the open verdict 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. therefore, the court and the me, somebody years national my one money, mona gamma, 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, while there are 2 sons warning cairo. there are no independent witnesses to whatever occurred at 24 carlton house terrace on that june afternoon in 2007 local to change with a be prime minister for 10 years. but 10 years, our country and no one can be in any day. he has considerable achievement to can i say, i hope there are plenty of theories which but hard facts are in short supply this 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 ah, i spent about 6 months trying to speak to someone from the moment family via the british lawyers, off to after a long period of time and expectantly. i'd kind of given up on ever hearing from them, and then after the blue i got an email from our med who was my younger son. and

he said meet me in london, tori, lunchtime. and so of course i raced that 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 soft questions, finish leaches tina 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, 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 court is inquest would show that she did not kill himself for their faith and for say, the pride of their family. they are completely satisfied that investigation shows that to be the case. well, it did not kill himself for me quite by that because who is my father?

and i found out that he did commit suicide. so want to know why he wasn't with us. i don't evidence that dr. my one sort in those final days that his life was on this way. it. i more ones. widow mona, i don't know, has rarely spoken publicly about her husband's death. but in july 2010, she did agree to london newspaper interview. she claimed the agents of the israeli intelligence of a small side where 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 a balcony. so who was 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 do, you know the pity for him. and if he told us of milan, who get id there. but i think leah problem on when it was for me to go to the i'm in my home when i want to my darling, we got to meet again about this or the to get and get me here to be living it's no, no 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. upset lots of dozens of companies all over the place. and lichtenstein and it was under any deal that you can 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 turns the marlins to me, it was 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, my one 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 is other than any other country interested in intelligence, that's the way you know what you and me and sometimes your friends think. so the best swain, having someone so close to, to the president found one that was the son in law of government, the nasa. and later 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 the spy in the moscow's

a few years earlier. at 1st the suggestion that ashcroft more one, a man at the very heart of egyptian society, at spite or israel seems implausible. ah, the, what's intriguing about the my one case. 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 one offered his own services to this, right? 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, the 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 the me as ease of phone calls and messages followed. the mos agents realized quickly, but 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, the israelis 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 and across the table. later the jerusalem post reported the european head of most to 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 certainly 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 40. it provided those under laps and take time until all of them would be a good fit for the fact it's you ego. you become even closer to sad that that it was twist father in law that was more suspicious of fame is soluble as it is as a young playboy. that was more interested in political power than ins on, you know, in, in his life that was going up the lesser 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 succeeded by almost and this could have spelled the end of ash off my one's position at the heart of government and 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, sha mom 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, won the bill of someone that found that we like closer to mo, western minded, small economic minded and as a result of 50 placid him. but the more we trusted in the more sophomore and became

invaluable. today's ladies the coming up in port to arms dealing political maneuvering, spy, craft, the everyday world of ash off my one my high on promise. as he took many, many fees and 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, i know my insurance on my job, my plan, abusive brand,

to that point. you can usually just grab a manager, i've only got mine on mine. i do on i'll just use the us has withdrawn the majority of it troops from america's longest war, leaving the battle for control. the african military be able to hold its ground against the taliban. and the afghans to help the american war effort relocated to the u. s. the future hold for that special coverage for not got a song on al jazeera, north korea isolated and heavily sanction yet earning billions around the globe. 0. 39 is involved in everything that makes money for you to carry different passwords, saying contact the money this year,

perspective is reflected in our coverage, giving a more accurate representation of the world we report on, and that's a key strength of answer here. ah hello, i'm emily anglin in don't. hi. these are the top stories on al jazeera memorials in lebanon tending to projects on the one year anniversary mocking the by root port explosion. it killed more than $200.00 people. large groups of protest is clashed with security forces me the parliament building, as they called for government accountability. dana hota was at the protest in bearish. the people here are also demanding a new leadership. they do not believe the political class is capable of governing this country any longer.
