concluded study has former palestinian president yasser arafat may have been poisoned to death. the team of swiss scientists who examined his remains say their findings moderately support poisoning as the cause of death. on tuesday, arafat's widow called for an investigation where he fell ill one month before dying in 2004. speaking to al jazeera, forensic scientist david barkley says he believes arafat was poisoned. >> if i was a judge and jury, this is absolutely stone cold certain, this is beyond any doubt in my opinion that it was polonium that cause the death of yasser arafat. >> the polonium found in arafat's body must've come from a nuclear reactor according to berkeley. israel has denied responsibility for the debt. other experts have questioned the poisoning theory, saying arafat show symptoms inconsistent with radioactive exposure. the pakistani government has reportedly acknowledged errors in his recent downgrading of civilian casualties from u.s. drones. shortly after prime minister nawaz sharif returned from a u.s. visit last month, the pakistani government reported

. >>> november of last year, they dug up arafat.died of mysterious circumstances in 2004 and after new reporting that suggested his death might have been because of poison, they dug him up. he was exhumed from his grave this time last year. in the last few days, a 100-page report has been released. there have been press conferences by competing research teams. statements made by mr. arafat's family and by the palestinian authority. it is a fascinating case. right now, i think the most sober way to look at it is to say the jury is still out. he may well have been poisoned to death with the same obscure highly radioactive isotope that was used to also assassinate a russian spy who had defected to britain. it is possible someone may have called arafat with polonium 210. and that may yet be proven, but honestly, if you take a broad view, what they've presented so far, i think it does not seem to be proven yet. when mr. arafat mysteriously fell ill after eating dinner in the fall of 2004, he was flown to france to try to figure out what

can we say with certainty polonium was the death of arafat?give a clearly defined answer. again, so our study has not been able to prove categorically a hypothesis of poisoning or another of nonpoisoning by polonium. >> reporter: yasser arafat's widow has a very different take, telling cnn the results reveal a real crime, a political assassination, she is now calling for a full international criminal investigation to find who is responsible. matthew chance, cnn, ramallah, in the west bank. >> california high school is coming unfire for its sports team's name, the arabs. you can see the mascot in the youtube clip here. the american arab anti-discrimination committee sent a letter to the school accusing it of stereotyping and demanding a name change. the school says it's had the name since 1930s. the district and the group are meeting later this month to see if they can come up with some kind of resolution. hope they can. >>> christmas coming early in venezuela by presidential order. imagine this, the president mass kicked off an early christmas
