blue arthur patty bar in a nightclub, in se ages deadliest terror attack containing our correspondence georg matter, spoke to us just before that ceremony, and told us more about what happened 20 years ago. and how it's being remembered to day. i'm standing here, i am in the middle of those 2 packed bars that you have just mentioned on leon street of very busy party, a district off the holiday island of bali. essentially what happened that night 20 years ago, is that a smaller device that unaided by a suicide bomber went off in an irish pop right over here. and then that was followed by people running on to the streets and then a huge device or in a truck just outside the busy night clapper, which you, sir see right behind me of a catered, or a slot of land that is to day and bad bomb was so strong, it left a crater of one meter depth on the street. i would say essentially there's 2 groups

of people. there's those who simply want to forget and were scarred for life physically or mentally. and there are those who feel like that. returning to this place of horror, and it helps them here in the healing process. i met one of the victims of this attack who was only 4 cars away from the pomp that detonated as she will be here today for the ceremony. and she hopes that it helps her healing process, but also she mentioned that she is rather saddened that some of the terrorists of this d. radicalization programs are about to be set free. well, 88 australians died in the bombings. it was the country's worst single loss of life in an act of terrorism. they've been memorial service to services today across australia to remember the victims. people also gathered at the australian consulate in bally 20 years later. the pain is still felt that night remains seed into the national memories of the nations astronomers. and

very beautiful and very moving experience for all of us. and especially for those who lost somebody in this tragic accident years ago. now i'm actually friends with about up of luck, the only polish person that parish to in the bombing 20 years ago. i came here every year afterwards. and i did so with the understanding that it can happen any time. but i, i sort of, i was where of it, but then he and also one of the support the indonesian community or something we have to live with. it can happen anytime, you know, this is just an incident, a bombing, but their lives can change through any event. there's more on the commemoration of the bali bombings on our main use show on d, w dot com and across all of our social media platforms, which you can find under the handle at dw news

ah, will earlier this week, malaysia's prime minister ismael sabri. yeah, cobb does all parliament and cold snap elections. a date still hasn't been said, but it could be as early as next march. now, this was widely expected to the government laid down a budget last week that promised billions in cash handouts and tax cuts. malaysia has had 3 governments since 2018. all of them plagued by political infighting. is males. united malays? national organisation, also known as, i'm know, is the largest party and the current coalition government. and with these early elections, he wants to end all questions over its legitimacy being unbundle money. with this announcement, the mandate will be returned to the people. monday the peoples mandate is a powerful antidote for the country to manifest political stability and create a strong stable and respected government. after this 15th general election set up

by fbi ru kalima bless. go, malaysia's former lead, a 97 year old mahatma hum. it has also announced that he'll defend his seat in the upcoming elections. my heartier is warning that a wind by the i'm no could see x prime minister nadia browsers walk free from prison. nat geo be serving a 12 year jail term for corruption linked to the one m d b scandal, which saw billions of dollars looted from a public fund fund. what did he, what then is nigi? mother, he and i and then he must be released by then and other charges on when m d b that is going on. now again, is that you should also be dropped. we can go to kuala lumpur now and speak with leslie lough, the managing editor at the malay, male online. leslie, welcome to d,

w, and use asia. malaysia's next elections weren't actually jew until september of next year. so what's going on? why is the government calling them now. busy well, once that question got to go back a little bit, is through the history of politics here. it's either a result with the fact that dominant party i'm nor which group malaysia from independence in 1957 until next 2018. and in 2018. the last election for the 1st time, and after that, the prime minister, then niger buzz up, what's arrest that chopped and put on trial corruption charges. and ever since that, then we've had success. if the government ball and the bomb with it be coalitions. so this current government is just to meet this off if and correlations

partners. and i, i think the basically the ruling, i'm no poppy views. now that we need their back and power even though the one that a partners in the coalition, they feel that they wanted to. they have a good chance of. ready coming back into power, stronger, and that's why they should the prime minister dissolving parliament earlier this week. ok, so political maneuvering people political pressure happening now. the former prime minister mahar mohammed has announced that he's running to he's 97 years old. what's driving him to contest this election? well, he is say, marty has been the most dominant figure malaysian politics ever again i don't. i don't think we'll ever see someone like him again. i mean, he was prime minister originally from 1981 and 223.

the tie. it came back to politics and be a collision in in 2018 and they wanna ok. the funny thing about this man is that he either love or hate it in militia, but he remains very influential. and most people give you that he someone who just kind let cool even at 97. a lot of people here, a few that obviously shouldn't let go a long time ago, but he remains influential. he's poppy. it's like me to make major in rhodes, but he's hoping that he can be a king, nick a form the next government. now as someone with a lot of influence, martinez is warning that the ruling party wants to pardon the former prime minister nadia rosa can you mentioned a little bit earlier. he's in jail over the multi $1000000000.01 empty base candle

. how likely is that to happen? it's a complicated process to get plodded. you wouldn't be title required to king to and possibly his fellow who lives in malaysia to run him. pardon. but it's, it's some people who are very cynical and say that i'm the one to come back to power to make it easier for you to get a pardon. it is, it is an issue and it will be an issue in this election. the president of the, i'm not the dominant party is also on trial for, for corruption. so that is also affect the selection. now, you've been outlining, of course, all of the political, the instability that's plagued malaysia in recent years. can these elections put an end to all that of the prime minister is suggesting

it's unlikely that it will put an end to it because the malaysian voters are probably very divided and currently the public and the voters very high it already. so all litigation, i think, like, and none of the political clinicians particularly popular among both that if anything, anyone, when, when power and this election probably when by the fall. because there's also a big question as to how many val, with this will bother coming out to vote. traditionally militia has a very, very high with, and i'll, well, you mention 70 to 80, but then the voted out. it's going to be it's food that, that, that. ready that we will see the same time of the not going to be really interesting to see what happens. leslie, that was leslie lough managing editor at the malay male online. thank you very much

for your insights today. not seat for to day. there is more anti w dot com, forward slash asia on social media at dw news, and i am at john underscore rate. please to getting touch. we'll leave you now with today's commemorations for the victims of the 2002, bali bombings. thanks so much. 3 people in trucks injured, one trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border families playing on the tags in syria for the credit on

sweetwater demonstrate people lean extreme ground ross getting 200 people from the jews. b, around the world, more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge as to why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, a new labor movement in the us. it's being called david versus goliath. upstart unions versus powerful corporations. workers are forming unions and industries and companies that haven't seen them before. it's like they're caught like during

it like like, they can't believe this is happening, but this is happening around the world. i hear, oh my god whispered my ear. organize in this video, we'll look at how the political and social environment in the u. s. has created fertile ground for a fresh labor movement. will visit the state of north carolina to find out how unionizing efforts are running up against one of the world's biggest corporations. amazon says that, so they want the associates to have a voice. well, workers, collectively that is a voice is nothing more democratic then a union and we'll look at a crucial question. will all of this momentum actually reshape america as a labor landscape? i don't think it any guarantee whether these workers are going to succeed in coin just don't understand.
