surprise but it is being reported best of the sunshine looks likely to be the further east you are and that prosecutors entered his home enter the area of low pressure, we just before 6am local time, about two hours ago and it would seem that see the barrier of rain circulating around the low. below starts to lose a car, supposedly having ten and its grip, and further south and west eight, leaving his home about an hour later and it has been reported we can slightly and the wind that he has been arrested for the direction starts to come and southeasterly as a slightly milder fourth time on charges of aggravated source and that will be a noticeable breach of trust. and has been change across the country. and means reported that he allegedly showers are likely to be fewer and transferred some of nissan's money far between in comparison to what we toa transferred some of nissan's money to a business dealer and said that had seen said there is a potential is the latest line that we have so for us to start off and fade away far, and has not been officially and perhaps northern island seeing been confirmed. more revelations are some styles. it will feel a degree coming out and what about the tweet or so milder and back into double from yesterday? it came from com pletely from yesterday? it came from completely out of the blue around digits, 10—13d as the high. that is lunch time, he created his twitter likely to be what we see as an event account and then tweeted for the of the weekend because that first time saying that he will be holding a press conference on the southeasterly flow will continue to dragon milder airfrom the near 11th of april, next thursday, to continent, the only issue with that tell the truth to reveal what has isa

continent, the only issue with that is a could bring a little more in the way of cloud and some moisture been happening, english and followed so it could be quite a murky by japanese and there was speculation whether he was breaching weekend. so that isn't bearing in his bail conditions because he was not supposed to have computer access mind in comparison to what we have seen this week and it is not going except through his lawyer office and to be anywhere near as cold. take he has been keeping in line with the care. bail conditions according to his lawyer but following this morning news from tokyo prosecutors who have been building this case against him. for many months people have been awaiting word from the french car manufacturer and finally they have come out and criticised him. this is the first time that they have publicly criticised him, if you remember him like japanese partners, nissan and mitsubishi which has been questioning him but it continued it's an internal investigation and had a board meeting yesterday releasing a statement that it found

questionable and concealed practise areas and also a serious deficiency over expenses. i do not know whether there is a link between what they said about this payment to the middle east in this latest arrest but it was the first time that they actually came out criticising him. we will have more on this unfolding development and tokyo on the former nissan chief carlos ghosn. and thank you. our other top story, in the last half an hour, britain's house of commons has passed a bill that obliges the prime minister to seek a further extension to the brexit process in order to avoid britain leaving the eu without a deal. this is a scene there at live, it was very busy about 20 minutes or so ago, after the mps filed out. ian watson as our political correspondent in westminster for us and for people who are not familiar

with the technical side of what has been agreed, talk us through it. with the technical side of what has been agreed, talk us through itm is quite dramatic, never mind the technicalities, this is history and the making. in a sound overstated or overdramatic that it is true, the mps have voted by the narrowest of margins, by one vote, to take power away from the government, away from the prime minister, over a vital stage in the brexit process. britain should have left the european union on the 29th of march and after a short extension agreed and in order to avoid and no deal scenario, a ci’oss to avoid and no deal scenario, a cross party group that mps decided to try to rest control from tresa made the prime minister and effectively on monday tell her what to do next. —— theresa may, the prime minister. it is probably likely that the house of lords will pass it, but tonight there was a lively debate over the constitutional implications of this

and the practical implications as well. in practise what will happen next is theresa may will be told to go back to brussels for an extension to article 50, and caused a further debate and brexit and she will come back and suggest a date and the mps will have the power to change the date themselves and ask for their own extension rather than leaving it up own extension rather than leaving it upfor own extension rather than leaving it up for the government. it is still in the hands of the eu as to agree to that but for the british side of things in westminster, there is no debate amongst mps, by the narrowest of margins, to ask for that extension. labour wants to ask for a longer extension to have an alternative to theresa may if i think they're in place. looking on social media about this, people are asking who is really in charge now and as he said they have taken control and power that theresa may is still the case of negotiations

and brussels. she is still the prime minister but now she is being told by parliament want to do rather than by parliament want to do rather than by her cabinet and the executive, if you like. that is a big change in the power balance here and it also means that we cannot for example threatened no deal at all unless the eu wants to impose no deal on the united kingdom. of grace in this process and brexit, predictions are being precise for one minute until the ground checks again. what theresa may is trying to do of course is rest control back by train to getan course is rest control back by train to get an agreement on brexit with the opposition, the main party of opposition, the labour party, jeremy corbyn today who has been and technical talks tomorrow with some of the options on forming a customs union with the eu, which she so far has resisted some

some of. the next stage is to have a range of options being voted on by mps to see if they can reach any kind of agreement, any kind of consensus next week and that might give heran consensus next week and that might give her an degree of influence again but if the house of lords ee, again but if the house of lords agree, she cannot decide that no deal will play any part in this, and she will be mandated and required to go to the eu and ask for a further extension, if necessary to avoid a no deal scenario on april the 12th. how are you feeling?” no deal scenario on april the 12th. how are you feeling? i think probably, strangely enough, somewhat buffeted by brexit as we have said. 0n buffeted by brexit as we have said. on one hand there is so much, every night and it is almost becoming mundane, there are many votes but also hugely exciting and then you start back and find out what you have not really move the brexit process one iota so so far despite

the drama and historical nature of what happened tonight, no closer to getting an actual deal for brussels, and we did not know if brussels will agree to any extension mps ask for. we are grateful for you being there, mowing over, and the mps pass a bill that theresa may will have two follow. let's catch up with the news for you. the 17th anniversary of the secretary general with a rare address to the us congress and said that nato did not wa nt congress and said that nato did not want a cold where but it should not be naive about relationships with russia. the entire mullet report into election interference consummated and democrats pressure

max, which is too supposed to stop the stall by pushing stomach pushing the stall by pushing stomach pushing the nose downwards and the plane crashing, and all the leaks suggested and this, in the crash a few weeks ago, pat one report from the wall streetjournal said that the wall streetjournal said that the pilots did try and turn it off but then it came back on again, and the guardian reporting a a while ago that it might have been reactivated several times. so we expect to see the authority saying that the pilots we re the authority saying that the pilots were well—trained and the system somehow was to blame for the crash and we do not know for sure, it was all speculation but it points to that. after this report from ethiopia prospect transportation minister, all eyes and ears will now be on the response of boeing.

absolutely, one analyst says boeing might be losing as much as one half million dollars for the 737 max eight grounded around the world, it is the most practical and boeing's history so it is in its best interest to reassure that they are safe to fly and to release a softwa re safe to fly and to release a software patch and sell five they are reading from one impact centre according to what we know so far, and now it is going to take the readings from two centres to release the possibility and it's malfunctioning but it is easier for pilot demo pilots to overwrite it and take control of the plains of boeing is trying to get authorities to certify it and for authorities around the world to certify the 737 max is can go back into the skies.

amputation for robbery. these are really horrendous. and it's going completely in the wrong direction. it's on the wrong side of history. his majesty, the sultan of brunei. britain has good relations with its former colony. this was sultan hassanal bolkiah visiting in 2017. the uk also has a military base in brunei. it conducts training in jungle warfare there. and the sultan pays for a battalion of gurkhas. brunei's oil wealth has brought it investments around the world, including a string of luxury hotels — like here in london, the dorchester. some celebrities are now calling for a boycott. among them are ellen degeneres, eltonjohn and george clooney. soon as i reach the country, as soon as i step foot in the country, i am liable be killed by stoning. shahiran shahrani, currently seeking asylum in canada, is worried about friends back home. i hope they are making plans to get out. because i don't think it's a safe country, and i hope they can do

entrenched problem and malaysia and probably many other countries but in malaysia we have had 61 years of unbridled rule where one coalition has been in power since independence in 1957 from the british. and has been a very long time. a whole lot of political power has actually come back to the coalition and powers so for example, the prime minister of malaysia at that time, also being the finance minister and so he not just wielded political power, he also had financial power. theyjust compromised and trampled upon many of the institutions and sell as checks and balances and so on till it became a problem that was probably very much real and at all levels of government, federal, state and local government. it with something that... do you think that

this trial, the investigation and the unraveling of the scandal will change malaysia ? the unraveling of the scandal will change malaysia? the change is going to be really many stated and we believe this is a very important turning point for the country, it is the first time that a prime minister has ever been charged for anything and in this case, 45 pounds of money laundering, corruption and criminal breach of trust so it is a very big moment, a very unprecedented moment for malaysia and it will definitely change the landscape but it may not change the landscape but it may not change the landscape but it may not change the entire culture, the entire system because it will take yea rs entire system because it will take years and it will take a lot of political wealth. thank you so much for joining political wealth. thank you so much forjoining us. jakarta's first metro line has
