some european parliament vote some find that a vote in the lead lieber committee, it's called, which is like the legal affairs committee that ava kylie on the 1st of december turned up to a vote that was related to e visa liberalization for qatar and voted in favor of allowing that liberalization process to move forward. she is not a member of that committee. so on top of that speech that she made in the parliament that appear there, appears to be a growing weight of sort of public evidence coming out against her. it is important to say that the belgian authorities are investigating this heavily for other people have been arrested including a former m e p from italy. and they, there's also these widespread reports of 600 well confirmed reports by the belgian police that they confiscated 600000 euros in cash. one belgian newspaper is saying is reporting that eva cody's father himself was actually trying to get some of that cash cash out of an apartment. a oh,

forties had managed to stop him. this really is turning into a very, very deep scandal. incredible jack and being a member of parliament anyway, often comes with privileges and legal protections. one of that nature is at play here when it comes to any potential charges being laid. yeah, it does come with privileges there. austin, immune from extradition, which is one of the big sort of pieces of immunity. but because these about gentle forties and are investigating corruption that is related to the activities of the parliament. i doubt she will be able to use that form of immunity if she is fully charged with the corruption charges that we believe that you know that the authorities are investigating. this is a really big scandal for the european parliament, which up house itself is the bustin of democratic values. and the u. s. tries to export those democratic values around the world, but it's also a big concern for the categories who appeared to be implicated in this. and,

and it appeared to be, you know, connected to this with them. obviously trying to get through the world cup with a good reputation and also because this is all related to labor issues related to the building of the world cup stadiums and the speeches, the eva, kylie made on that. it's all starting to be a sort of very, it's a web that is growing sort of ever tighter. they double check perkin brussels. thanks so much for your reporting. or here in germany, authority say a man suspected of killing his mother and later taking 2 people hostage in the eastern city of dresden has died. the suspect was injured when police moved in to free his captives for they say the operation is now over and it's now safe to return to the city center. what began as a busy weekend shopping day, turned into anything but police closed off large parts of central dresden, including the famous christmas market. after an our man took 2 hostages inside the
