a car bomb attack 2 years ago spoke to her sister shortly after fenech appeared in a valetta court i will be content when every when full justice is finally delivered for everybody involved in duffy's murder and everybody she ever exposed and everybody involved in her possibly has not been identified yet which is why we are 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 some other doesn't. do you abused barbara vale is covering the story for us. barbara we're hearing about a government crisis meeting is taking place what more can you tell us. there's a crisis meeting in the country seat of the prime minister his cabinet has once again is again assembled there and local media say that they are pushing him one more time because we've seen this before friday night when there was an all night
12:03 pm
meeting here in town there pushing him again was down but it was immediate effect he is trying to sort of hold on to office clinging to office because probably he is afraid of being investigated himself and in the background we might hear the bells of justice tolling for joseph is the cathedral here. because he is so close to the accusations in this murder case that it is a very dangerous situation for him and of course for his next cabinet chef who just steps down a week ago so they might be really trembling about the investigations coming closer and closer to them and the people around joseph most good they don't want to be torn down with him they don't want to go under was this sinking political ship and so they're trying to push him off board. in malta barbara people have been coming

12:05 pm
a peaceful life but that seems to be radically changing they've come out here for days now and one of them making sort of things they were calling was mass yes they mafia say so they really don't believe in their country anymore. briefly barbara if i may just get back to the legal story is the accused businessman york infinite cooperating with prosecutors and what might that mean. that might mean that he actually will point the finger at the people in government who are implicated in this murder case the the prosecution says he was the one giving the order but he and we are expecting him to talk in court because the courthouse here behind us is on a sunday and loria seem to be going in and out and we don't know exactly what's happening in inside there so that he is just as jurgen fenech might really be sort of pointing at the people in government who are involved and then it gets really
12:06 pm
dangerous for them because then for a situation will have to sort of ask them what did you do and what do you know he doesn't want to be the one left carrying the can here in this case ok to be used by provisional in malta for us thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world. demonstrators in hong kong have rallied to thank u.s. president donald trump for backing the territories pro-democracy movement but also to appeal for more help the march to the american consulate came after. which would sanction hong kong and chinese officials for human rights abuses in the city. the australian state of new south wales has installed what it says are the world's 1st cameras to catch drivers using mobile phones the technology uses artificial intelligence to detect the illegal use of devices already say they hope to reduce road deaths by a 3rd. the man who carried out friday's stabbing attack on london bridge had served

time in prison for terrorism but was released early as a result from minister boris johnson says he'll review the country's criminal sentencing system 28 year old man can kill the 2 people and injured 3 others before police shot him dead. police are 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. and 250 kilometers away extensive searches at the home of the attacker 28 year old as man can he served time for terrorist 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
12:08 pm
a long time that i think that the practice of automatic early release where would you cut a sentence in the mit really serious violent offenders out early simply isn't working and i think you've had some very good evidence of how that isn't working i'm afraid with this case i think we need to look at what happens in the in the prisons what happens with the patients 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 being propped. there is a danger to everybody in the future. police say they are working flat out to establish that. stopping. the attack is likely to tara into the spotlight and this election campaign. today marks world aids day

justice and climate policies and they have not ruled out the idea of leaving the grand coalition all together. i think earlier we spoke to our political correspondent. we asked him about the new leaders and the future of the grand coalition. this is certainly the most important question now will they stay in the coalition with conservatives they both were critical as you sat 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 to deal and that's the basis for a 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 grand coalition but certainly the prospects of a snap election or a minority government for anglo-american have increased with this movement. that was political correspondent. and you're watching news from berlin
