they seek shelter. to come. in here waters keep rising. the floods are coming. storm twenty. this is. coming up on the program but that's all just dropped in a pool freeze one of the two women accused of assassinating kim jong un's brother is the to your case. also coming up. he's been a guest in some us wicked tsunami triggered a at the fukushima nuclear plant we'll look at why many of our careers are still refusing to talk. and as india sets the dates for national polls we look at how fast he's being told your father this election season.

while contribute up in years asia it's good to have you with us. two years ago these two women were arrested in berlin on suspicion of murdering kim jong nam the half brother of north korean leader kim jong un to be one of those women and indonesians are walked free after prosecutors unexpectedly dropped the charges against without giving a reason the brazen. airport shocked the world both women claim they were duped into carving out the cold war style hit with a deadly nerve agent. in relief. and even that smile city ayesha is finally a free woman often murder charges against her unexpectedly dropped. i.

am a feel so happy. i didn't expect it. today is my freedom day i think. it was. the indonesian was one of two women held on suspicion of killing came jong nam the a strange tough brother of the north korean leader kim jong un. c.c.t.v. footage from february twenty seven teen shows him a kuala lumpur international airport in malaysia at this point it's alleged the women smeared the deadly nerve agent x. me on his face. here he's seen describing to security guards want happened and is a schoolteacher to the medical clinic at the airport. just minutes later he collapsed he died on the way to hospital. but c.g.i. sure has always denied murder claiming she and another woman were tricked into

carrying the nerve agent by north korean spies part of a prank for a reality t.v. show the stew truly believe she's really a scapegoat and she's innocent. there was no direct evidence that she had played anything on you don't know the fact that it was that will follow did not have to be in the of city a shot but for don t. one of the other person accused of kim jong un's assassination no such frippery the vietnamese seen here on the left is sent to be traumatised that she has not also been freed. it's still unclear why city i sure has been released but having faced execution she can now enjoy getting one life back. and joining us for more is john liz joyce 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 bugger charge against the when last in august a judge had said that there appeared to be enough evidence for what he called a well planned conspiracy against kim jong un. 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 as one of city aisha's lawyers came up and told us to expect something big. all the press prosecutors said this morning was that they were instructed the stance of lee 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 delusion foreign 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 to all the 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 thomas however it 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 is national don't want where is all to remark used of mother. 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 on the same grounds as city ayesha if she is given the same treatment then the case is all but shin ish but if not then she continues trial joseph simple under border for us from kuala lumpur thank you very much for that update to japan next for the country is marking a sum by any of us three eight years since an earthquake and tsunami killed more

than eighteen thousand people in the country's northeast and from that the world's worst nuclear disaster since john overall a massive earthquake off the northeast coast triggered a tsunami that devastated coastal areas and crippled the focus you might daiichi nuclear plant three of its six reactors went into rest on the nuclear accident from for the mandatory evacuation of more than one hundred forty thousand people it's one of the memories of that day of disaster seared into the consciousness of this island nation. remembering those they lost people across the country off a silent prayers to another victims of the triple disaster that for better change japan almost a decade later the memories are still painful. thanks to mitigate years have passed but i still feel like crying.

really. been a struggle to move on with life things haven't returned to the peaceful way they were before the disaster. the same astri focus you can eat high she's one of tens of thousands of people she fled their homes after the fukushima nuclear disaster and still have entry tent. she lives in tokyo with her two daughters and works seven days a week to make ends meet every ten to focus she is no option for her. no i'm not wavering i couldn't possibly choose a life that puts her health at risk even if it would be better economically. life in tokyo is expensive because you can eat high used to receive a housing 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 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 you can eat high is taking no chances she and her daughters will stay put in tokyo. to india now where these two men are set to go head to head in the coming months in an

election to the site in the next lead up prime minister narendra modi and is in the national as part of the den of the party will be looking for a second tom while the opposition congress party led by the we'll be looking to thwart those ambitions the politics will play out in the biggest election the wall has ever seen yes numbers feel nine hundred million people will be eligible to vote in an election last more than a month across seven phases people will be able to cast their ballot in one of one million polling booths on around two point three million electronic voting machines which record a person's vote at the press of a button this time around these e.v.a.'s and also the candidates pictures so voters know whom they are voting for prime minister morty will certainly be hoping his face brings in the votes and from the looks of it he already has a bit of a head start. sorry shopping downtown mumbai
