more is john liz george of support on from kuala lumpur joins us good to see you thanks for joining us i suppose the real question is what prompted prosecutors to drop the border charge against the ayesha when lost in august a judge had said that there appeared to be enough evidence for what he called a well planned conspiracy against him. to be honest we don't know for sure what prompted the decision it came as a surprise to all of us really we only came to know about it earlier this morning when the city ice has run a city ice has lawyers came up and told us to expect something big of all the press prosecutors said this morning was that they were instructed sensibly by the malaysian attorney general to withdraw the charges to apply to the bot to withdraw

withdraw the charges against city ayesha no explanation as to why one of the prosecutors did tell us on the sidelines that the decision was based on several representations but did not go beyond that and put some of these representations have been from the indonesian foreign ministry joseph because you had the division for ministry spokesman saying quote close cooperation involving different institutions and indonesian government lawyers to police is this a case of not really been given the priority it should receive and. bilateral missions taking a precedence order modernist edition well earlier today after the ice has released noonish as a long list minister mr yes one allowed at all a press conference that her release was the culmination of concerted efforts by his government to secure her release which includes diplomatic channels the indonesian

embassy in kuala lumpur also released a few copies of letters to the media between mr lyon and the malaysian attorney general tommy thoughtless how that is probably premature to say that it was the end result of diplomatic efforts because malaysia has not said anything to that effect it's mostly a one sided. revelation here where do today's developments the victim use national don't want there's also be mchugh's of. well who are supposed to take the stand this morning to testify in a defense because. trial was postponed indefinitely but the current court adjourned the trial to this thursday to allow the lawyers to request that the attorney general release the same grounds as city ayesha if she is given the same treatment then the case at all but she initially but if not then she continues trial joseph simple under both of us from kuala lumpur thank you very much for that update to japan next where the country is marking

subsidy but the support for so-called voluntary evacuees ended two years ago the government wants them to move back home it says for cosima is now safe bar a few no go zones the mother of two doesn't believe a word of it. nothing has been solved there but the government doesn't call fukushima disaster area anymore i think they've just decided that it's no longer a disaster area. there are many who cast doubt on the official story despite a large scale decontamination program a recent poll found sixty percent of residents feel anxious about radiation this is in part because the government changed its stand it for what it considered an acceptable level of exposure from one millisieverts per year to twenty a level considered too high by many radiation experts. because it can e high is taking no chances she and her daughters will stay put in tokyo.
