wow there no i'm rachel joining me to get somebody to hold i. am. this is the w. news live from charges in a dramatic case that could bring down a compliment a multi businessman is charged in the killing of an investigative journalist his connections to top government brawls to fuel demands for the prime minister to step down immediately this is to all death they kind of want to get it's yes thanks to. everybody involved in her mother who has not been identified yet which is why we're

expecting the prime minister to leave office. and a major shift for germany's governing coalition to harsh critics of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives our elected leaders all their partners the government will be grand coalition saval life. i'm having a long you could join me maltese prosecutors have charged one of multis wealthiest people as being an accomplice to the murder of her investigative journalist definite kind of want to get its you can finish he did not guilty to his alleged involvement in death police arrested him 10 days ago while he was trying to leave malta on his luxury yacht. will definitely kind of want to get it he was investigating government corruption when she was killed in a car bomb attack 2 years ago he spoke to his sister shortly after fenech appeared

in a court in a letter. i will be content when every for when full justice is finally delivered for everybody involved in duffy's murder and everybody she ever exposed and everybody involved in her murder possibly has not been identified yet which is why we're expecting the prime minister to leave office and parliament and be investigated himself along with his chief of staff. because they may have very well have been involved in the plot to murder. of a soul is covering the story for us in malta is the accused been finished cooperating with prosecutors and is he likely to implicate anyone else. it is quite likely had it not because he pleaded not guilty then in order to prove his innocence he will have to sort of name out the people who are behind this murders we have to remember that this deed was done by men who have been in jail for years trial hasn't yet been forthcoming because investigators had still been looking for

the people behind the deed the people who gave the order for this hit against the investigative journalist and now you're going fenech has been accused of having been that man he is one of the wealthiest businessmen on the island of malta his family goes backs regenerations their own caste xenos that are employed in money laundering they own hotels restaurants and part of the power station that is at the heart of this corruption scandal here in malta so they're really right in the midst of this whole web of of into this entanglement between government interest and business interests and you're going fanning now will probably everybody expects this here so the point to keyes schembri he was the cabinet chief of the prime minister so it would sort of the affair would go right into his office and that of

course increases the pressure on the government we're talking about that pressure on the government reports that the multis prime minister was getting ready to resign do you think he will step down or will he try to write this crisis out. he has been clinging on by his fingernails for 2 days now on friday his own party put out the announcement that his resignation was imminent so we all rushed out and said yes he's going to step down and then fierce power struggle behind the scene as started where most could still try to sort of keep his keep his seat and even his own party and the end this sort of other part of the labor party here in malta has said enough of this we have to get you know we have to get through this we have to sort of step away from this horrible scandal and they are really trying to push him so is he is really being pushed by strong forces plus there is enormous public anger on the island we've seen demonstrations almost every day and people are

saying not only definitely see a sister is saying that but people in the street are saying he really needs to step down and concern of course not just in malta but on monday we have an e.u. delegation arriving on the island what are they expecting to find. i mean it seems that this night. a court session here yesterday night where you're going fenech was finally accused of being the man having ordered the murder off the journalist was sort of like an offering to that european delegation when they come on monday they you know prosecutors you can say listen we did do our work you know we have somebody in jail now and this is not all because what this really is about is the rule of law in malta this is a member of the european union this country has to stick through the rule rules like every other country and there is such widespread abuse here it's not only money laundering and tax problems but it's also it goes much it goes much further

than that the judiciary is an independent the police is an independent they also have in this tangled web of interests on the island people are opening their hands and receiving money left and right this is what investigators from europe are really wanting to sort of look at and tell them all to use government this needs to and you need a real cleanup here. correspondent. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world demonstrators in hong kong have rallied to thank president donald trump for backing the territories pro-democracy movement but also to appeal for more help the march to the u.s. consulate came off to trump signed legislation which would sanction hong kong and chinese officials for human rights abuses in the city. 2 people have been killed in an avalanche on the italian side of a mile long mountain the snow reportedly came loose at an altitude of around 3000

meters where the victims are reported to have been skiing off at least. the man who carried out friday's stabbing attack on london bridge had served time in prison for terrorism but was released early that from british counterterrorism officials as a result prime minister boris johnson says that he will review the country's criminal sentencing system 28 year old was fun can kill 2 people injured 3 others before police shot him dead. police are 12 at the site of friday's attack one of the victims has been named as jack merritt he was attending a conference on prison rehabilitation at the time. on 250 kilometers away extensive searches at the home of the attacker 28 year old as man can he served time for terror fences but was released early septic to an extensive list of conditions. and it is this revelation that has stirred debate in

a country in the middle of a general election campaign. we want to toughen up the sentences for serious and violent offenses and i've said for a long time that i think that the practice of automatic early release why would you cut a sentence in hoffman that really serious bottom defenders out early simply isn't working and i think you've had some very good evidence of how that is working i'm afraid with this case i think we need to look parts that what happens in the in the prisons what happens with the patient service and what happens with the role of the parole board in the us and make sure the sentences are appropriate but above all it's what happens inside the prison if prisons continue to be understaffed overcrowded and a lot of prison is not. properly supervised and i think there is a danger to everybody in the future. police say they are working flat out to establish the full circumstances of their stopping and as more details than match

the attack is likely to thrust tara into the spotlight in this election campaign. well johnson and america's rooting coalition could be in trouble that is off to the center left social democrats or the s.p.d. elected to new new elitists who are critical of the chancellor of the s.p.d. for part of the government along with america's conservatives to boy bands and saskia s. can say that they want to renegotiate a coalition deal with the conservatives to focus more on social justice and climate policy and they have not ruled out the idea of leaving the grand coalition once again. political correspondent fabiana fun a democrat with me in at the studio good to see you fabien firstly what can you tell us then about these new leader as well both certainly not from the 1st row of german politics they are both have a disc distinct left wing profile within the social democrats so i suggested she's

a back bencher in the bundestag expert digitalisation know about wagner borden's the regional politician is the former finance minister of north rhine-westphalia and earned kind of a reputation as a robin hood because the fall of the texas invaders pretty hard and they both were supported heavily by the youngsters in the social democratic party by the use those for the left wing stands back benches they may be but they both certainly have been critical of the current government could we see that and the end of the coalition which chancellor merkel. this is certainly the most important question now will they stay in the coalition with i'm glad american conservatives they both were critical as you said and they said that they want to renegotiate the coalition treaty the coalition deal with the conservatives the conservatives have rejected that already they said we have. this deed and that's the basis for our work together so really next week's party conference of social democrats will show that they want to discuss how to continue whether they want to step out of the ground

coalition but certainly the prospects of a snap election or a minority government for anglo-american have increased with this movement now before they potentially get to that i mean they've got quite a lot of work to do within their own camp as well the social democrats have been in crisis the quite some time now do you think these new leaders will be able to change the direction of the party. certainly they know what they stand for day one tier left wing profile i spoke to us to ask and she told me social democrats have to be 8 to be able to tell you at 3 o'clock in the morning what the s.p.d. stands for when you wake them up and that's for them aspects like higher minimum wage better climate protection and they want to be closer to the trade unions again so that's what they stand for but whether that will be enough to relieve rise the popularity of the social democrats in germany we have to see what indeed political correspondent fabiana fundament thanks a lot. meanwhile germany's largest opposition party the far right

that is until you arrived in munich. bailey bursting through to give laver couzin the lead on 10 minutes the 1st goal by and had conceded on the coach can see flick. the seam of once prolific goal scorers was to continue thomas miller's deflected strike levelled for biron normal service resumed then but only 3 minutes the hosts back line course out again and the fastest man on the pitch was on hand to capitalize. a classic counter and a smart finish to match from bailey. smart finishes a usually 11 duffy's demain. not today the dummy's didn't work the cold front went on. like brian laver couzin was also defending higher up the

pitch surge gnabry selflessly passed the ball but his generosity was undone by a superb sliding tackle by law spend. the visitors clinging on at the break and that set the pattern for the 2nd half with lave accusing forced back deeper and deeper they faced a bye and parish keeper lukas shredded skin needing to be on top form the visitors had to play the last 10 minutes with 10 men after jonathan char straight red but still they held firm with a little help from the woodwork 11 doffs. again failing to hit the net. may have a couzin when she was. given doff scheme minds are well to take lessons from bailey and his heroic clay victories in teammates. and our minds are the top story we're following for you here. one of multis
