populous muslim nation. tracking and containing a dangerous radical fringe has been a challenge to its security forces for the past two decades. they have had many su ccesses , decades. they have had many successes, but this attack by a single family is a reminder that with hundreds of indonesians returning from the war in syria, but thatis returning from the war in syria, but that is still a very real one. —— the threat. more fallout from malaysia's shock election result. under the intense pressure, i buckled. it was not right that it

was a decision made at the spur the to protect that. i apologise once again the pain in the header caused, my views as i said earlier very much the same as all your views. i look forward to a fantastic new malaysia. interesting, isn't at? we will have more on the new malaysia ‘s government in the next few minutes and stay with us for that. in a dramatic shift in tone, president trump has said he wants to help save zte — one of china's biggest telecoms companies. the president wrote a tweet in which he said he was working to get zte back into business. last month, the firm suspended operations after washington banned us companies from selling it components. zte pleaded guilty to making illegal shipments to iran and north korea. the american secretary of state mike pompeo has said the us may allow private companies to invest in north korea. mr pompeo, who held talks with kim jong—un last week, told us television the investment would be conditional on the country's full denuclearisation. north korea is desperately in need

of energy support and electricity for their people, they are in great need of agricultural technology and equipment, the finest on the midwest, that i come from, we can deliver that an as i said earlier this week, we can create the conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south. at least five university students have died and several others are missing after a footbridge on a river collapsed at a tourist site in pakistan—administered kashmir. the wooden bridge in the mountainous neelum district gave way after more than 30 students walked onto it to take photos. police in the eastern french city of strasbourg have arrested a friend of a suspected militant islamist who stabbed a passer—by to death and injured four others in paris on saturday. the man is being held for questioning. the attacker, who was shot dead by police, had been on an anti—terror watchlist.

in italy, juventus have clinched a historic seventh successive serie a league title after drawing away to roma. the match at the olympic stadium in rome ended goalless. the league title means a domestic double forjuventus after success in the coppa italia on wednesday. take a look at these pictures from alicante in spain. the port city has held the world's largest ever music lesson, setting a new guinness record in the process. more than 5,000 students participated in the lesson, which was held in a bullring. it smashed the previous record injapan, which saw 2500 people participate in a music class. the world's oldest elected leader starts his first week in office today. after his shock election victory and 15 years after he was first prime minister, 92—year—old mahathir mohamad is very much back in the hot seat of malaysian politics.

mr mahathir‘s opposition alliance won 115 seats, crossing the threshold of 112 seats needed to form a government. he beat his former protege, najib razak, who has been beset by allegations of corruption and cronyism. so, what does the future now hold for malaysians? earlier, i wasjoined by michael vatikiotis, asia regional director of the centre for humanitarian dialogue in singapore. i asked him what we can expect from this leadership. we must not forget that he was prime minister of malaysia to 30 years. he was a tough leader, very decisive and he will be tempted, i think, to return to his old ways of running the country. however, he now faces the country. however, he now faces the fact that he has promised to turn over the reins to his former deputy prime minister, anwar

ibrahim, who is supposed to be released from jail under a full pardon this week. this is accelerating the return to power of anwar ibrahim, that promise, people will be scrutinising that promise. doctor mahathir mohamad has agreed to hand over power to anwar ibrahim, who has to be elected as an mp, but that could be brought forward very quickly. of course, everyone is making a big deal of the fact that doctor muhammad hadi is in fact 52. —— doctor harty muhamed. he tried to unseat him in 1998, he tried to bring it reformed the malaysia after that, he lost power. these two men are former rivals, they appear to have kissed and made up in order to unseat najib razak, who had jailed anwar ibrahim on suddenly charges,

but it is awkward and we have already seen some of this emerged that the announcement of some members of the cabinet, clearly anwar ibrahim's party, which is now led by his wife, is unhappy with some of the initial appointments as i think this is going to be an awkward coalition at their. and before they even get down the government, let's face it, they are going to have to deal with the ousted prime minister, najib razak. the prime minister braided a block on the weekend to secure sensitive documents, they say. there is a lot of fear that these documents have been taken out of the country. najib razak and his high spending wife are not allowed to leave the country, so what is going to happen there? well, doctor harty muhamed has promised not to seek retribution but i think

they will eventually bring it najib razak to court and i think a lot of malaysians would like to see that. and we have seen abuses and today saying he is sorry, he backed the wrong horse. malaysia has been hotwired to be close to the ruling party, the ruling coalition i think thatis party, the ruling coalition i think that is very quickly going to unravel and people are going to remake the ties of patronage. i think we should take his word, there must have been tremendous pressure on notjust him but on many of the corporate titans in malaysia to essentially play ball because in malaysia, under this previous ruling coalition, the corporate sector was affected. you had to support the government, otherwise they could ta ke government, otherwise they could take measures against you and i think that is also something that we have to see change. today, the us embassy in israel will open at its new location injerusalem. it's a move seen as controversial. israelis have been celebrating the change,

which takes place on the 70th anniversary of its founding. the move has exacerbated tensions with palestinians, who've called for protests at the new embassy. president donald trump's daughter ivanka and her husband, jared kushner, have arrived in the country. the couple — both senior white house advisers — will attend a ceremony to mark the embassy opening. the israeli prime minister benjamin neta nyahu called for other nations to follow the us example. i call on all countries to join the us in moving their embassies to jerusalem. move your embassies to jerusalem. move your embassies to jerusalem because it's the right thing to do, and move your embassies tojerusalem, listen to this, move your embassies to jerusalem tojerusalem, listen to this, move your embassies tojerusalem because it advances peace. 0ur middle east editor jeremy bowen is injerusalem. he described the mood there.

well, life goes on but there is also a lot of tension and there is the deployment of various kinds of police, paramilitary police, the army is not very far away either in the territories. i think there is a fear that there could be some trouble. the move of the american embassy for the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a great triumph, a great day, something he has wanted for a very long time. for the palestinians, it is pretty disastrous but it is something they are protesting against, and particularly down in gaza where over the last seven weeks of protest, more than a0 palestinians had been shot dead by the israelis and more than 2000 wounded. so that kind of thing is likely to come to a crescendo in the course of this coming week. in your assessment, you have been covering the region for a number of years, what do you think the likely impact

will be of this tomorrow?” what do you think the likely impact will be of this tomorrow? i think the mood of the embassy is something thatis the mood of the embassy is something that is a huge pat on the back for israel, it is a great big pat on the back as well for benjamin netanyahu, who has tremendous influence with president trump. we have seen it as well with the business of the americans pulling out of the iran nuclear agreement, americans pulling out of the iran nuclearagreement, benjamin netanyahu nuclearagreement, benjamin neta nyahu was i nuclearagreement, benjamin netanyahu was i think very influential in that decision. but the thing about the conflict here is that history has shown that if it is less to fester without a positive political horizon, and i mean not simplya political horizon, and i mean not simply a victory for one side or the sense that it is going towards a better life for both peoples, if that does not happen, then what has a lwa ys that does not happen, then what has always happened in the past is that the tension rises and violence starts. you're watching newsday on the bbc.
