2:08 pm
very disbursing good hearing, but also stating for me, thank you for that update on a did his lie there in nigeria is by else as states in other world news, malaysia has detained, suspected operatives working for israel's intelligence agency, more sad. they're accused of abducting a palestinian man from a street in the capital, kuala lumpur. and beating him as he was driven to a house there he is said to have been blindfolded and tied to a chair, then interrogated over a video called by mossad agents. police raided the building and detained. the kidnappers, florence lea has more from colonel on for the abduction took place late last month the to the palestinian man was having dinner with a friend outside a shopping mall in calling them for. the incident happened at about 10 p. m. now they 2 were walking back to the cough to dinner, and that's when the abductors intercepted them just as they were about to get into the car. now one of them was beaten and he was striped into one of 2 vehicles that
2:09 pm
was waiting. the other palestinian man managed to get away and he alerted the police and the man who was abducted, he was blindfolded, he was beaten. he was taken to a house on the outskirts of quality for still blindfold, that they've been tied to a chair beaten and interrogated. now he was interrogated by the video link and on the other side of the phone call, the video call were israeli agents. one of them had apparently said, you know, while you're here now we do, the local media report have not named the palestinians who since left the country. but we report say that he was a computer programmer now and report, he was reportedly asked about his, his expertise, what he knew about what the, what software the hamas was developing, what the cape abilities were, and what he knew about the outcome brigade, which is how much is winged, what he knew about its members, and what he knew about their strengths. now, the abductors were reported the are reportedly or malaysian now 11 people have been
2:10 pm
charged in court, but they have reportedly bungled. the operation watched the operation several ways . they allowed the 2nd palestinian man to get away, and this person would have been a more important target. earlier we spoke to alamo, hama dee, who was a counterterrorism expert at the international islamic university of malaysia. he explains how foreign intelligence services use local assets in militia to have the, unless opportunity work independently. the country is not possible. therefore, they recruit the local asset to work on their behalf and based on the intelligence gathering made by the relation police, that is what it seems to be. there is some local sales operated by an individual and they target sent them to the visual as it would be reported in the news. well, i don't think it is only exclusively the most method. all abrasion,
2:11 pm
i think it has been done by the other intelligence services to we can see this thing happen across the world that whenever you're not capable of operating independently, especially if it is too obvious. that if you are present in cit, the location and it is easily being detected, then it is necessary for you to record the local assets and work on your behalf. israel has summoned australia's ambassador after camber, a reverse this decision to recognise jerusalem as these really capital. the australian foreign ministry says the cities status must be decided through peace talks between israelis and palestinians. australia initially announced its recognition under former prime ministers comp morrison in 2018. we will not waver, not support his rather the jewish community and stria. we are equally waiving our support of the palestinian people, including in the provision of humour, humanitarian support. i would say that mr. morrison's decision to play politics, and it was no more than that because of course,
2:12 pm
we all know where the embassy remind resulted in australia shifting position. i know that this has caused conflict and distress and concern in part of the struggling community. and today the government seeks to resolve that. bennet smith has reaction from western israel's foreign minister has voices deep disappointment over the decision on prime minister jala pete, who's running for reelection in the beginning of november. he says he can only hope that's trailing. government matters, manages other matters more seriously and professionally relating to the manner in which this announcement by the australians were made. now the israelis of summoned austrian bastard. but he'll have to drive all the way from television to jerusalem . because while australia recognised west jerusalem as was recognized jerusalem as a capital of israel, they never actually physically moved their embassy like almost every other country, their embassy building and administration is intel of eve. it's only the u. s.
2:13 pm
embassy that's here in israel after donald trump recognize jerusalem in 2018, and also honduras, and guatemala. so practically little changes, but of course, it's all in the symbolism of a countries. most countries recognize that the status, the final status of jerusalem is to be determined in talks on palestinian statehood and the palestinians want eastern useless as their capital. it's where most of the christy and muslim and jewish holy side happened to be as well, but they won't the final status of jerusalem up for negotiation still ahead on the program fighting for her political life, the u. k. prime minister holds a crunch, meeting with a cabinet and collusion, illegal checks and billions of dollars stolen will tell you about a financial scandal in iraq. ah,

2:15 pm
but there were warnings out. well for today for carola and they're probably going to be heavy. dan pause in carola probably tomorrow to maybe even sri lankan the next day or so it's drive the north that's largely dry and pakistan to let me take you for to thursday. and because of what's coming out from further north, you've got snow in the far north of pakistan. everywhere else is looking fine and dry. of course, as it is through iran and a good part of the middle east, with the exception of the eastern met. with a revolving storm still hanging around the weather, sponsored by categories, the british political party and more with labor, taunting is a criminal conspiracy against its members. newly obtained documents were deal members silenced, suspended, and for mike on, this is unbelievable. the speech was shut down. an exclusive

2:18 pm
this has been cancelled from the metro here in paris. they probably see the bridge behind me that is still running without any problems as all the inter city lines nevertheless. so this does add to the difficulty for many people who are commuting, getting around the country because we've had that fuel shortage. now for a few weeks or anyone wanting to use a vehicle is still fine to get very hard to fill up that car will their motor by because the 3rd is petrol stations in from a still suffering a fuel shortage. the government has issued an order for some key oil refinery stuff back to work. it doesn't seem to have made much difference of the petrol pump yet. recently furio to trade unions, and that's part of the reason that they called for the strike action today. british prime minister list ross has met her cabinets as she fights to hold onto a job. ministers have now left downing street. the meeting came a day after new finance mister reverse. almost all of our economic measures trust

2:20 pm
a wondering whether the party impede here can actually run around a unifying figure to go to grand brady and say right, this is the person we want trying to avoid damaging leadership contest. there was even told that that could happen within the next couple of weeks. more strikes on ukraine's capital have killed up nice to people. ukrainian official say 3 missed have a power facility keep russia is striking critical infrastructure across the country . but then voted me as lens, he says the situation is critical and his want of possible electricity and water outage is nationwide. why me jump to and has more from case that's for today. it's been a barrage of missile strikes, targeting integer energy infrastructure throughout the country. let's start here in the capital in keith. just in the past couple of hours, he was 3 missiles that targeted a critical infrastructure site that's according to keith's mayor vitale. clinico in the destiny on school district. that is a district that is just is to the capital,
2:21 pm
it's on the left bank of the denise pro river, and we are told that in the dest, nancy district, that there are residence there, that are without power right now, there are concerns about how long the power may be off in that area beyond the capital and the key region. you've also had missile strikes that have had critical infrastructure sites in digital mirror that is a neighboring city to keep it in the area to mir district region. rather, i should say, the mayor there said that the city had been left without electricity and water and residence right now, very concerned about how long it might take to get them all back on line. when it comes to utilities. there were also airstrikes overnight in me. calliah that was bombarded according to local officials by s 300 missiles or the city of denise pro . also missiles, rain down there as well. and germany, politicians are concerned over the growing number of ukrainian seeking refuge. they're calling for structure, border controls between germany, austria,
2:22 pm
and the czech republic. dominant came before sunday, gemini checked border. the team of check police officers carries and controls on the slovak border, they're looking for people. they say are illegal immigrants. many of these people are from syria and are seeking refuge, but not here. they want asylum in the u. k, or germany, and are willing to cross many european borders to do so. in berlin, ministers say something must be done. he then begins cantoya, and once again we will extend the checks on our board is with austria beyond november for another 6 months. these checks are necessary to prevent illegal immigration on the border with a check republic. the federal police have significantly increased checks as part of stop and search practices. but intensifying border controls may be more difficult than it sounds because germany and the czech republic share a common frontier of many hundreds of kilometers, and the shang and zone rules still apply. which means that right now,
2:23 pm
pretty much anybody can come and go across this frontier as they please. so far this year, the vast majority of new immigrants in germany have been ukrainian, taking advantage of the e u wide freedom of movement, their country's citizens, half people like natalia or your mom, i. one could order my mother has cancer right out as she came to germany, she went to several treatment sessions and got what she needed to get special reception centers for ukrainian. refugees have been set up in several german cities to cope with demand. but one complicating factor right now is a recent spike in arrivals of people from syria and afghanistan, who's asylum process is not as easy. and yet who must also be looked after? you re running out of capacities, houses where people can sleep and mice date offices responsible at the moment for 27000 people in a more than 90 houses all over berlin were the incoming people you arrivals or we

2:25 pm
investigators say government insiders colluded with a state owned bank and 5 private companies. caching hundreds of illegal checks since september last year. the fact that this continued for a year without being uncovered, without anybody sort of being held to account at the time, shows that the people involved have number one political backing, a number to that collusion. because at the highest level, i think the new government has to establish is credibility. one of these ways it's going to try to do to public support is to go off to corruption. it comes at a sensitive time for the new prime minister mohammed sudan. he took office less than a week ago. he's promised the case is a priority, and the looting of public funds will no longer go unchecked. but iraqi say this likely represents a small fraction of what has gone on for years. despite the fact that the scandal is so big, no one really seems that surprised by it. and that's because it's kind of high stakes. high level financial corruption in iraq is an open secret.
