. you back now to al jazeera, well to see shortly the by lithium extraction is well and away at the all, at full flats. in the province of 4 point in northern argentina, it is referred to as to why gold of renewable energy layer a. we're trying to establish a small supply chain of lithium batteries so we can comply with demands. one of the demands is the transformation of the public transport system origin. tina has one of the biggest in the region and we would try to transform our bosses. wanted a system i didn't know what livia and she'll have around 70 percent of the world's lithium research. the live in liquid ryan research located in full, sat like this one, thousands of liters of water are necessary to pump up the frying research to the surface. there is later on, distributed in evaporation pool communities around this area are concerned that few

extraction could complicate or access toward with us off more one was an egyptian billionaire businessman living in an up market london apartment, married to the daughter of former egyptian president, gamma danasia he appeared 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 jump? or was he pushed?

the ah, 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 i shaft more 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, maria, and that is, may, he has monument elected. lemme lemme not one of them at $130.00 the, at the 11th and imbedded to keep him a she is out of a thought. let me get you connected. well, i think it is about one can. i mean i can, i'm in ms. dugan, for a young or listen, been here. 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 israel, the war was just hours away. this coincided with a jewish day of atonement young can poor. 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

or not convincing enough to leave ease, 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 eminence, 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 is 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 wrong, 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 next. you know, 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 res. but i think we'll say it does cost a very interesting life. actually, him potentially still being an egyptian don't agent with both sides, claiming i shot the mall. one is a hero who would want him dead. it's possible that which ever country he was really betraying, 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 messiah, 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. betrayal of egypt, national secrets. miss alverado. michelle, how did the 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 cannot call to the valid work. awesome . but at least by one of them they entered it. 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 bad licorice in the metal at them. i walk on. 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 was egyptian president saddam pointed ash off mall, 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 bother me. unless i let them alone them. but has eat alcorda feet, the photo wall 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 more, one left egypt and started a new life in london. he thrived in london's corporate business, seen 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 augment, got off on down cousin and close. confident of the then libyan leader mcguffey. the idea of trade winds was a private company which would with rolands input, transport throughout the middle east and africa. goods and services that modeling

for the introduced including weapons and the trade winds company was supposed to be shepherding weapons around africa, the libyans and everybody else can be allen. i'm, as i mean, leave can be on my raise will get that. i wonder what kind of island might affect. well, hopefully you feel of the bargain though yet, but also, by the way, i mean, i could ask about that when i'm in and i 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 a level the and got an amendment and she and the heads up, your motive dizzy to him, used to feed to watch me, which is a mother present the gora them across that

a lot of fossil all 4 of you sort of that much more money can i read the us is i can get kind of out of tune. natasha. how many of the 2nd move in if the player minute do i? let me tell it what kind of mobile i have do up here on my can i have blowing them shout them up and off and let me see on the plumber. 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 met a shockmount and probably 7 or 8 times. most of those times

were in the late eighty's, late 908 case i had been introduced to him by connie roland, point mo, on for me, the interest for me at the time was that he had been buying shares, takes in a loss of british companies he suddenly appeared from nowhere, and he was dying strategic steaks. 15 percent here, 30 percent. and nobody knew who he was. well throughout the luncheon and 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 cup and was invoked and many did deals with handling companies of in the u. k. in the early 19 eighties,

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 of my one's connection with a government in egypt and fire was an objection. and his connections throughout the middle east and the propensity from i went to do great harm in the opinion of fide . and i was surely wish to do, said mom it, i'll fire her private detective following a shelf mo, one tiny road to all the time. there were la, my one enroll into like a 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 its own natural conclusion. i think the feud the, the tiny roland field 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 fired till the mon, i think now and had become a, 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 or people he should not have done. and there was an aspect of revenge. returning to wash off mar ones, final hours they were spent in his luxury apartment in central london. while one lived in a very expensive and luxurious apartment building cotton terrace carlton house, terrorist as the london home for the british foreign secretary. and at the bottom

of that, as the admiralty arch, which is an enormous flat, 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 model. and was very well known to the intelligence services because they had a very good reason to keep an eye on him because he was into the varied 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. current and i had another to come. you can walk up build, can you drop a total cost more? talk about a letter of work about a moral cub court where i work 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 these very, very high number of cctv coverage. most people assume that every cctv camera is on 247. so if you take this into, into context with the other issues, the fact that we are told cctv 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 once physical and mental health. the clutch of marijuana fee. my shift from ice bridge, maddox to wish the michelle and the total shipment on behalf of the 11th our idea.

in them i can easily then measure past ill. bessler was highly genocidal to the haunted him unless he let me 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 who apparently has the neuropathy of his feet, and cannot and going to boston 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 william nolan. why should i be communicating them?

i should have the liquidity on the ship home. 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 palm. and 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 police missed them? or did the plea lose them? ah, the matter of the alleged missing memoirs is a question. the don't just 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 desert and binged on the government, then the metropolitan police would do their best to cover things up and manipulate

. not the same. now. new were 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 ones address. ah, i'll just wrote to mister re party and to another witness as i'm sulky. 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, they seem very much in 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 see the body politic to explore at much further than they would cover it up. and they were covered up to 2 reasons. in my opinion, firstly, that would have done the british government. no good. a man like my one who was no longer around. well,

that could be thought to be at the pages he's gone. he said no use to us. he says no harm to us anymore. 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 in 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 spy 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 not the successor,

anwar sadat. his move to london and the phone call to the israeli embassy, offering his services as a spine. 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,

the celebration the food for reconciliation. ah, from ancient civilization, the algae 0 world goes on a mouth watering, cut and re journey from fame to them and leave to discover the hidden history behind some of the region. best loved diffuse favoring the path on l. did the news news? ah,

it's too late for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello, hear your weather headlines for the americas, and we've got to start with an update on the dixie wildfire. look at the destruction it cost in greenville devastating more than a $100.00 homes destroyed in a day. and we know about 75 percent of the towns as decimated there. this is the largest wildfire in the us right now, and we see no relief in the forecasts. hot sunshine continues on monday somewhere where we are getting a lot of rain, however, is the state of florida. we've got flash flood warnings across the panhandle. orlando picked up about 60 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. we do have some concern over these storms popping up through the mid west. we'll keep close tabs on that hale, gusty winds, always the concern off to central america. we do have concentrated rain falling for western and southern coast of mexico and across the caribbean. i think we found a pretty good chance that we will see some pop up thunderstorms. south america
