12:18 am
chance that after the parliamentary and presidential elections will revise this and having regulations that have not been draughted yet, but this is disappointing.- this is disappointing. before it nets this is disappointing. before it gets put _ this is disappointing. before it gets put into _ this is disappointing. before it gets put into practice - this is disappointing. before it gets put into practice and | it gets put into practice and the implementation of this seems very vague, what is the government trying to do here? in 1999, the past this omnibus replacement of the criminal code and it failed because of the messy protest and some of been watered down or made more palatable extramarital sex can only be reported by a family member or a child, a spouse, a parent, that is a serious limitation on the impact it will have in the implementation regulations have not been draughted and without parliamentary and presidential elections coming, we probably
12:19 am
want to get the implementation draughted and done after elections at the basically, the president is kicked us down the road does not want to make this an election issue during the campaign and neither do any of the other major parties that passed this without note. i think this is going to be hotly contested but for the time being, they'rejust contested but for the time being, they're just pushed contested but for the time being, they'rejust pushed out of the way in the camping season next year.- of the way in the camping season next year. this coming ofthe season next year. this coming of the was _ season next year. this coming of the was seen _ season next year. this coming of the was seen as _ season next year. this coming of the was seen as a _ season next year. this coming of the was seen as a relatively successful g20 for indonesia indonesian opening itself up to the outside world, what is the impression foreigners might have this indonesia with this new law in place?— new law in place? looking carefully _ new law in place? looking carefully at _ new law in place? looking carefully at them - new law in place? looking carefully at them in - new law in place? looking carefully at them in the i carefully at them in the details and recognising that it's not as disastrous as it appears at first but the biggest muslim democracy and the most promising muslim democracy and largest muslim

12:21 am
of this and the impact of this on the trump organisation in a donald trump himself is pretty negligible. his organisation is looking at a fine of around $1.6 million, pretty much pocket change for a company of that size but as far as the future is concerned, this verdict could have considerable implications, not only on their ability to borrow money but also its ability to secure government contracts moving forward and crucial to all of this, the testimony of the former cfo who gave evidence in return for a more lenient sentence and could be sentenced shortly to this tax fraud and talk about how compensation including tax—free payments on luxury apartments in manhattan and the upper west side tuition fees paying for the children
12:22 am
and luxury cars and so on and to answer? donald trump's response, there has been the response, there has been the response with the basically, this was an acting alone and the former president and his company knew nothing about what was going on in the statement concludes this case is unprecedented and it's a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in the history of our country. i history of our country. i wonder what this means for donald trump's presidential ambitions in the next election. this is no direct impact on that but it might do so cumulatively, if you like because the legal woes are ratcheting up for donald trump, he is facing a civil case being brought by the new york
12:23 am
attorney general which directly involves him and his two eldest children and none of those three were named in this particular lawsuit and there's also an investigation by the us department ofjustice into the retention of classified documents and donald trump's home an investigation into the role he played in the uprising on the 6th of january of last year and so on and as those investigations play themselves out over the course of the next few years, the cumulative effect that they could have on donald trump presidential ambitions could be quite considerable.— ambitions could be quite considerable. what you're sa in: considerable. what you're saying about _ considerable. what you're saying about the - considerable. what you're i saying about the presidential ambitions all of this coming against the backdrop of the georgia election as well and there does seem to be a shift in tone and tenor in the politics of the us in terms of which party may do better at
12:24 am
the elections going forward, is there a sense that you're getting about that? it’s getting about that? it's interesting _ getting about that? it�*s interesting because donald trump was very much playing kingmaker in the midterm elections and he hand—picked a number of candidates, including the republican candidate there in the state of georgia. someone as we heard earlier has come under a lot of criticism even from some in his own party, the republican party and so donald trumps reputation as a kingmaker, is the leader of the republican party is somewhat diminished following these midterm elections and thatis these midterm elections and that is why the outcome of this special election in georgia is potentially so crucial. find special election in georgia is potentially so crucial. and the fact that we may _ potentially so crucial. and the fact that we may will - fact that we may will be getting some results soon and as you mentioned, the fact that gary was talking about how tight race this is, will be

and mental health and the r 12 foundation and for moral courage in standing up to the oldest institution in the uk. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello there. it's been cold enough alreadyjust recently, but i'm afraid to say it's going to get colder still over the coming few days. with some clear skies overnight, we're looking at widespread, quite sharp frosts. there is the threat of some icy conditions as well, particularly where we see some wintry showers. now, this colder air is coming our way because the wind is a northerly and that northerly wind sweeping down across the whole of the country now because it's a northerly northern scotland's really in the firing line. this is where we're going to see most of snow could be ten centimetres over the hills in the next few days. there is a risk of ice and snow elsewhere. but for many inland parts of england in particular,
12:27 am
it's a very low chance of snow. it's going to be cold everywhere with a widespread frost, maybe not quite so cold early on wednesday in east anglia in the south east, because we've got a bit more cloud here that'll take a while to break up. 0therwise many places will be dry and see some sunshine. it's areas exposed to that northerly wind that will see some wintry showers. parts of northern ireland down, some of these irish sea coast down the north sea coast and more especially northern scotland. seeing that snow, those are the temperatures in the afternoon, 3 to five degrees, a little bit colder than it was on tuesday, windy in northern scotland and down those north sea coast. so it's these areas in particular that will feel quite a lot colder in that wind. and the snow continues as we head overnight and could get a bit heavier across northern scotland. we may see some mixture of rain, sleet and snow coming in to northern ireland as well. and that's coming into cold air, of course, another widespread frost with clear skies across many parts of the country. and we've got this cold air, this northerly air right the way across the country. now, the winds are not
12:28 am
particularly strong. so where you have those clearer skies, that's why we're seeing such low temperatures at night. it could be icy for a while across northern ireland may turn a bit icy across western parts of wales with some wetter weather beginning to move in here. still some showers grazing those north sea coasts, more snow to come across northern scotland, although the snow may ease off later in the day. if anything, it may well be a bit colder on thursday. typical temperatures only around two or three degrees. it doesn't get an awful lot better than that on friday either. another widespread, quite sharp frost. you can see we've got a few wintry showers, mainly around coastal areas. so in many, actually, the winds will be light. there'll be some sunshine around, but temperatures may be no better than around two to only five celsius. good. goodbye.
