1:03 pm
a new legal team that had only been replaced late last month. and then his legal team sought to have the chief justice removed on the basis that her husband had several years ago posted comments, critical of nudge abrazzo on social media. now those 2 applications or requests were denied and the 5 member panel of judges ultimately decided that they agreed with the initial findings of the high court, which were then affirmed by an appeals court. last year they said that they agreed that the defense put up was so inherently inconsistent and incredible that it failed to raise a reasonable doubt on the prosecution case. and so they reaffirmed the conviction, and they also said that they found that the sentence that was imposed was not excessive. now, not your browsers will be the 1st former malaysian prime minister to go to prison. that there were concerns that because i'm know the party to which not your brother belongs, which is also the dominant political party in malaysia. now,
1:04 pm
because it's back in power, after having been voted for the 1st time in history, in 2018, there were concerns that corruption cases involving it's politicians or people connected to. it would somehow fade away because there have been instances in the last few years where the attorney general decided not to pursue some of these cases . now that this decision on tuesday will now lay some of those concerns. and one more thing that's important, as this decision will also make it more difficult for not to browse up to continue arguing that he is a victim of political persecution. because when he was 1st arrested and tried, the government then was made up of parties that had been in opposition. but since then there has been a change in government. so it will make it more difficult for nudge abrazzo to argue that he is a victim of political persecution. and this is important because they're still several other cases. charles against roger browser involving one m d b. this particular, their taste involves a former subsidiary of when and dbi and really, and involves only of a small fraction only about $10000000.00 out of the billions of dollars that
1:05 pm
prosecutor say we're siphoned out from the state investment fund for is, looks very much for the update flawlessly, there for us in columba let's give you some more context for this because the state fund was set up in 2009 with prime minister naji brazil. as this chairman, it was meant to encourage economic development through foreign investment. a trouble started in 2015 when it mr. loan payment to investors of half a $1000000000.00 that unsettled markets and forced the government to investigate. the us justice department intervened, and at 4500000000 was embezzled through criminal schemes involving international money laundering. it also found money from one m d. b had been spent on extravagant items including luxury homes and properties in beverly hills. in california of more on this, i'm joined now by eastern i. he's a senior fellow with the singapore institute for international affairs. he's also a former political advisor to now jeep joyce. we now live from singapore. i just
1:06 pm
get your reaction to the the verdict that we've now heard from the supreme court in pietro jaya. i think scarcely anybody is surprised by the substance of the word gay, namely, and information on both the findings. i swear that sentences to not your browser by the trial judge, by the speed of the judgment being delivered by malaysia pop caught debt. it was quite astounding, essentially, at the end of hearing today, and perhaps we about not huge side giving testimony in court. the court has a firm conviction, very expeditiously suspects. now the focus will really bay that he couldn't avoid jail, but his party is expected to react to this. the interesting thing will be whether
1:07 pm
they support the court's decision or support their senior leader in a court case that's lasted what nearly a decade. why indeed, i think not only, not you would have sleepless night tonight, but the party to which he belong. namely, no, i'm no party would also have to ponder very carefully as to whether they would continue to align with in terms of claiming innocence, or they would draw a clear line of demarcation between the party and such that for example, the party would have the refresher in each of course, the public now will also be a judge of this and how they will perceive what's happened. they wanted to see politics cleaned up back at home because during this whole debacle from 2015 up to an election in 2018. this was a massive issue for the public in malaysia about corruption. they wanted corruption
1:08 pm
cleared up and they made that voice is very clear at the ballot box by voting in the opposition. well indeed, i think the more reform is mind. an aggressive cohort of malaysian voters. we indeed like to see a correction. been clean up in malaysia, we found a conviction be there for because for example, in the eyes, the say you need that the bottom and not the coach l corruption. on the other hand, the all cars are very ardent, supporters are not your browser. who i think would continue to profess his innocence, who would continue to claim political persecutor persecution, even though, as for lawrence reported just now, his party is now the ruling party here. of course, in a political pardons, often given via the king of malaysia on the advisement of the government. how
1:09 pm
dangerous is that currently for the government? because there is a pending general election not too far away and any move in the wrong direction may office. he said the wrong signals to the public about what political parties feel do and how they think about the convicted party leaders. were indeed the president of prime minister, even though he belongs to the same party, is not g browser by clearly they belong to different sections of chemistry being the party. and i think the prime minister the day is not in a hurry to try to advise the malaysian king to grand not jib ross after, pardon, at least until, for example, when the general election is over. and i'm not the lead back to power. we shall see what happens eastern o, joining us that from singapore. thanks very much for your time. thank you. a funeral has been held in moscow for pro crumbling political commentator daniel

1:23 pm
beijing should be this year? the situation is really unusual. you know, we as long as far as we have the detailed major logical records, we have never seen the answer reverse what level dropped to this low level at this season. and a few days ago, i have the chance to take up a lot of the largest fresh water lake in china on lake, which is connected to the yancey river. it has been diminished into inter meanderings freeze. and so it's quite shocking, and of course it's caused by very unusual weather pattern. you know, this year the a so called west pacific cash sub tropical high move into this region much earlier and continue to dominate this region as a result for about 70 days. and much of the region, you know,
1:24 pm
haven't seen much one soon. and so throughout the base in the water, the renewal has been dropped by a drop by 45 percent. and in some of the worst case regions drop by 80 percent, of course are you experiencing it? let me jump in. that's a, it's an incredible, vicious circle, isn't it? i mean, the heat is impacting on the need for more electricity, more electricity can't be generated because there's not enough water in the dams to generate the electricity that you require. what's the solution then? what does spacing have to think about? yeah, absolutely. i think they are, you know, the experience is that we're talking about not just about 40 degrees celsius for dozens upon dozens of cities in, in this region. but we're talking about some of the, some of the regions beyond 44 degrees celsius or you know,
1:25 pm
45 and this, and the aircraft a demand. but it's huge pressure on the power. great. well in this region is very much featured by high proportion of hydropower. and so, you know, we are not just for this year, well, you know, to research, we can see that over the past 40 years. and just along with a align with prediction made by the you and i p c. c report to extreme whether you ban to answer more people have been exposed to china and to so we have to adapt to that. and as a result of more of what a diversion project is b and of course, renewable energy sources are b. but that's not,
1:26 pm
not enough in china, if i can just jump it against china did try to solve this problem in one way. in that what we have seen over the years, various done projects like the 3 gorges. but with that, just supposed to generate power and protect the areas from floods further to the south. and what seems to have happened is that we've had floods in the north, a drought in the south. it's sort of gone upside down, hasn't it? it's a really confusing picture for the authorities to try and sort out when you're talking, as you say, about various projects to try and contain water in certain locations of the country that are strategically required to help the economy, whether it be industry or agriculture. that's right, you know china burning huge amount of coal and result to conjugate 30 percent of the global carbon emission at the current the
1:27 pm
current level. so trying to make commitment to achieve pick a new toilet carbon pick before 2030 and hydropower has been consider as part of the major part of the solutions. but this year you know, we, it's a harsh reminder. the non fossil fuel source cannot be fully dependent on palm so that the rates out more we need to do more to try to coordinate different power in china and try to transform the existing power to pick out 2 or more renewable energy sources. and in the meantime, you know, it's this all, this dams are not just for power generation, but they also viewed for power. what are i person projects at this moment to aging and surrounding regions depend on 70 percent of bits of water
1:28 pm
supply from the younger river valley as well. so how do we, you know, make sure the water conservation project weekends. we can adapt to the changing climate. that's another very important issue indeed, and lots of very important decisions to be made. sure, by basing as well when they see the problems across the country for the margin. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. the thought was ensured, say, climate change is affecting the harvests, contribute to an increase in food prices. hundreds of thousands of people are struggling to make ends meet the world bank. estimates that 42 percent of the population of below the poverty line. hipaa. morgan reports now from the city in the ha, j la miss region, north of the capital and jemina. for years solid herbal beckett has own this farm exporting corn and other crops to provinces across chad. but in the past few years,

1:45 pm
a were artificially colored to make the features stand out leah and right say space . commentators in dublin and joys been alive. how excited are you by those pictures? well, these are beautiful, beautiful images. we are seeing jupiter literally in a whole new light because the james web space telescope sees light at different wavelengths than our eyes do. and so that's why this image is colored oddly as it where there is another exciting thing about this image and that isn't immediate apparent from it. and that is, it was produced not by a scientist, but by what is known as a citizen scientist, a young woman on her kitchen table in california, working with european astronomers, universities throughout europe brought together all the images from the wide space
1:46 pm
telescope and combined them into what is both a work of science and a work of art? indeed, i mean the telescope is providing some amazing images, but the question is that when the so much money being plowed into this project, what do we actually learn from it in terms of what we're seeing? well, these images in particular, in the infrared, as i said, it's a different light than the light that we see with her eyes. this tells us an enormous amount about the atmosphere of jupiter. we can see the aurora borealis says it where the northern lights, the southern lights, we see the ring around jupiter, which we didn't even know existed until the 1980s. we see at moons circling jupiter and then most spectacularly. we see the huge white ball, and it's quite big because the great red spot in these wavelengths looks bright

1:48 pm
understand climate change. here on are we off to his scientist sort of saying that there are many applications for a project like this by putting a telescope out into space. and that technology can be used back here on earth. mm . what sort applications are we talking about? a well, what, what obligations a scientist talking about about the implementation of investigations out in space being used, hey, back on earth. when i talked to parents to ask me, should my daughter study astrophysics? it doesn't seem like a job worth having. in fact, what i say to them is that their daughter or son is not learning specifically, astrophysics. she or he is learning how to solve problems, and it's that problem solving skills that young people get working on projects like the james, when telescope world wide young researchers working on this telescope like the
