positions in your decision making. who's in favor? there's been a number of arrested democracy, but the focus is on her time eva, kylie, who that in europe, she belongs to a greek socialist party and is one of the vice president of the european parliament . now, she's being prosecuted in a corruption prob, sit on this, he blew deceiving versus a bachelor, correct me, money laundering, and criminal organization which concerns potential corruption from a personal state. as you go into your compartment. the purpose of the bribery was to try to change the political or economic decisions off to your department could do better than what the media reports. name katara as the state allegedly buying influence. kylie met guitars, labor minister in november, shortly before the world cup started the labor in a video posted on twitter,

she sent the european parliament recognise and respected tars progress in labor reform, high and low. she made similar comments during a speech at the european parliament later in november. they accusing some members of parliament bullying to try and accusing them of corruption. there's the goodness . katara is a throne rather in labor rights abolishing a fall reducing minimum wage. despite the challenges that even europe companies are denying to enforce the laws, they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. this is despite international concerns that thousands of migrant workers could have died building the tournaments stadiums kindly has been expelled from her party at home and her parliamentary group. what happens to her next will be up to belgium system of justice. now for the latest on this investigation, i spoke with the database correspondent jack parrot, who's in brussels,

where we know that the kids from the guitar reside that they are investigating on their side, i have source is close to that. who have told me that actually that meeting that we heard about with the labor minister, that the labor minister himself is being looked into and also the, the victoria ambassadors, the european union as one might expect. i've also been doing some digging through some european parliament vote some find that a vote in the libra libor committee is called, which is like the legal affairs committee that eva kylie on the 1st of december turned up to a vote that was related to e. d. u 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 belgium 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. yes, 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 general 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 boston of democratic values. and the e u, which 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. will 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 into

a dozen more iranian protesters could face execution, including well known wrapper to marcella. he who was forced to make a confession on state media. now see bush a keep is an iranian german writer, filmmaker and activist who focuses on women's rights and religion in iran where she was born and raised. we asked her earlier why the executions have failed to scare protesters away. what keeps people going on the street is they have nothing to lose, nothing more to lose. 70 percent of p for in iran are facing hunger or near the low or at the poverty rate. and they have not much to lose. and one thing is very, very important to understand. having been born as a cert, 2nd forrest generation, in some cases under a repressive regime liked it is law make republic every day, every,

every time you leave the house, every time somebody rings the bell or makes a call to your phone, you have to fear that something terrible is going to happen to you. the young people in my country has become resilient. nothing can scare them any more. even death can not scare them any more. and they go out and be quite right. that was a rainy german writer, cba chic. keep speaking to us earlier. ah, sport now and morocco had made footballing history becoming the 1st african team ever to reach the semifinals of a world cup after one the victory of a portugal rocker took the lead in the 1st half thanks to a towering header from yusef on the city and from there, after the incredible hit on the on the dog sat tight and defended their lead. was

an easy john? felix had the best of portugal chances in the 2nd half, but he was denied by the moroccan keeper. rebel now faced either england or france in the semi final, while portugal hated and sick christiana, rinaldo, dream of listing the board cup could be over for good. sophomore on that superb result fall morocco way joined by d. w.

more attacking in the 1st half. then as players were injured and as they tie it a little bit in the 2nd off, they went back and sat back deep this time they got a little bit lucky. i think a couple of harry chances that but as suzanne to file a player playing for all sharon from a massive performance from him as some stop play as we're off the engine and bono, the gold people once again coming up trump's saving penalties last time and now saving lots of from the portugal team, so i think they so tactical. now today. what is the greg who can be very proud of his charge as a team that has so much chemistry and so much passion and such joy also on their faces in portugal just couldn't get pasta briefly, mex, we can't go without a word on christiana, rinaldo. he equal the record of $196.00 international hats. that is this likely to be his last world cup game? do you think you can maybe hear fans around me shouting? where is rinaldo may very well be his last tournament for portugal. coming into
