in february 2017 the department ofjustice detained de lima following allegations of corruption by theelieve they are trumped up charges. i attended her recent trial. senator, bbc, are you innocent? i am innocent! the world knows that i am innocent. i am being persecuted. for now, the senator is being held in a detention cell in the national police headquarters infamous under the marcos regime for disappearances and torture. as a foreign journalist, i am not allowed to interview the senator inside her detention cell. instead, i have sent questions to her special adviser and she has responded by writing 21 pages of handwritten letters. in them, she details what life is like inside the detention cell and also why she believes president rodrigo duterte is bullying politicians. "being corrupt is not in my dna and no amount of lies or black propaganda can change the fact that i am innocent. duterte ran a death squad, the so—called davao death squad, responsible for the murder of at least 1200 individuals. once this criminal gangster from the backwater of a philippines captured the popular i

the us department ofjustice has charged a north korean man over a cyber attack on sony pictures, sayinge government. authorities say parkjin hyok masterminded the sony attack in retribution for comedy film the interview, about a plot to assassinate north korea's leader kim jong—un. north korea has called the allegations "absurd". british airways says there's been a mass theft of personal and financial details of more than 380,000 of its customers. the data breach happened over two weeks starting on 21st of august. the stolen data did not include travel or passport details. british airways says anyone who believes they might have been affected to contact their bank. north korea's leader kimjong—un has said his faith in donald trump remains "unchanged" and he wants to denuclearise the korean peninsula during the us president's first term. mr kim made his comments to envoys from seoul who were in pyongyang to arrange a summit between the north and south korean leaders later this month. relations between the north and the united states have turned sour since the historic trump—kim summit in

the us department ofjustice has a lot of evidence and the new attorney general is really making sure two private lawyers who are very very experienced. and, well, we think it is, you know, it should be a fair trial. i think, is, you know, it should be a fair trial. ithink, well, without prejudging it, the evidence is to be overwhelming. but you know, we will just go through a trial. and who knows? we have a strictjudge, as far as knows? we have a strictjudge, as farasi knows? we have a strictjudge, as far as i know. and if the evidence is not add up, he was that does not add up. but i mean there is a lot of anger in malaysia. my mother's family is still there. there is a lot of anger of which i know. they wa nt to lot of anger of which i know. they want to be vindicated and they want to see theirformer want to be vindicated and they want to see their former prime minister behind bars, with the revelations of moons of dollars in handbags, jewellery, being lim to them. it is an incredible story. everybody wants to see them in jail. an incredible story. everybody wants to see them injai

rosenstine the deputy attorney generalfor the us made a statement in front of other members of the department ofjusticeich he seemed to say that perhaps they should consider taking president trump to use as proof that he was not mentally fit to hold office. and even suggested potentially invoking the 25th amendment of the us constitution. that is a mechanism for effectively removing a president from office although there are a lot of hoops to jump through. now there has been a very swift denial from rod rosenstein. he has said that the report in the new york times was an inaccurate and an —— incorrect. sources have said they were in the room when rod rosenstein spoke about taking the president but it was clearly at joke, taking the president but it was clearly atjoke, a sarcastic remark and there was never any intention to record conversations with donald trump. nonetheless, given the animosity between rod rosenstein, currently the man who is overseeing that investigation that's going on into potential russian interference in the 2016 election, and of course claims of collusion in it, there is a real t

it was suggested that in a private conversation with other members of the department ofjustice, officialsgested perhaps secretly taping president trump to show that he was unfit for office. now, that's something he says is factually incorrect. there were others who are close to him who suggest that he was only joking, it was never intended to be taken seriously. but president trump, i suspect, did not find it funny, and it looks like he is now facing real questions about his future as deputy attorney general. already president trump was, i suppose, angry towards rod rosenstein because he's an individual who is currently looking after and overseeing this whole investigation into russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. as it is, they are set for a showdown on thursday as well. all eyes will be on washington that day. president trump has said he expects a second summit with north korean leader kimjong un to be announced "pretty soon", but that the location has yet to be determined. speaking during a meeting with south korean president moonjae—in at the united nations, mr trum

he's significant because he currently overseas the department ofjustice's investigation into russiang in the 2016 election. but then it got confusing. as our washignton correspondent anthony zurcher clarifies... nothing particularly concrete yet, but katty told me why this is significant. it is important because the president would like to have an ally overseeing the russian investigation. he wants some of the things he could rely on to make sure the investigation goes in the direction he would like to go. he does not feel that rod rosenstein is that guy. if he can get rid of him and putan that guy. if he can get rid of him and put an ally, some are more sympathetic to him, overseeing the investigation, perhaps you can make that investigation shorter, make sure there was no subpoena for the president to testify, reduce the scope, all things that the president would like to do. but there is a political peril in him being seen to fire rod rosenstein custard might look like he is interfering. interfering with the probe, heading into a mid—term election that is very tight and the preside
