involved in her to be 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. and barbara vessel is covering this story for us barbara the government held a crisis meeting today what more can you tell us. the crisis meeting seems to be over nick from what we hear but no official announcement has yet been made so it's look as it looks as if joseph cut is continuing to cling to his seat to hold on to his fingertips because when he leaves office he loses immunity and that he might very well himself become embroiled in the murder investigations and so the point is that he seems so look to keep on in office till mid january when he is successor will be determined by the reigning labor party here on malta that seems

to be his personal plan b. it is not quite clear yet whether the party will allow him to do that but he really is on the edge and in malta people are coming out now to protest on a daily basis what are they demanding. people don't want to live in a mafia film that's what they tell you here if they talk to you because they feel they have to come is sort of part of the scenery where the criminal dealings are like an everyday occurrence on the silence there is money laundering the government has started selling passports to foreign on it are some years ago there is a open corruption in all realms of the public and of private enterprises so it seems to be sort of all income passing it is just everywhere and the citizens of malta many of them are sick of it all this has brought wealth to the country there

has been enormous economic growth but the dark underbelly of malta really shows the ugly side of this island and there are many citizens now who say this has to stop we want this or that all of this all these murky dealings are being brought out into the open that the people who are responsible will be punished and we want new drama critic new start from also now i guess bringing things out of the open means justice is allowed to do its work do you have any indication that you're confronting the accused businessman is cooperating with prosecutors and what might that mean what might we learn. he has indicated that he will it's going to take some days maybe part of course he is protesting his innocence he says i didn't do this i didn't order this murder some somebody else must have done it and he points at keys country the former chief of staff of joseph most of the prime minister here who live hurriedly left his office last just

a week ago and he is sort of the man behind the trone he's the right hand man of the prime minister he has been embroiled in many corruption scandals on the on and this is not the only one that. uncovered it is much more far reaching and is so if as. soon as investigators are allowed and given the freedom to investigate and to talk to him and figure out what he knows and what he did then it can really start justice can start to be done in malta because so far we've just only lifted like a little edge off the cover here ok barbara just briefly when there's to this a european parliament delegation traveling to malta on monday what are they expecting to find. now they'll see a country in turmoil i mean the the accusation and the official charging off your fenech seems to be like an offering to that delegation look we're doing something

we're doing the right thing we're not proceeding with the investigation and justice is doing its work because for 2 years they had been a total still stand bought there is so much more and they are the european union says rule of law is seriously stretton and they're going to look into much more than the murder of the investigative journalist they're going to look at the whole country and its institutions that are severely compromised ok due to political correspondent barbara faisal thank you. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. iraq's parliament has approved the resignation of prime minister. amid ongoing violence and government demonstrations he has said his government will stay on until a new one is chosen. the british authorities say the man who carried out friday stabbing attack on london bridge had served time in prison for terrorism but was released early salem killed 2 people and wounded 3 others prime minister boris
