BBC World Service - Newshour, Ex-PM Najib Banned from Leaving Malaysia

Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak has been prevented from leaving the country

Malaysia's former Prime Minister Najib Razak has been prevented from leaving the country.

Malaysia's new prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, has said his predecessor, Najib Razak, could be investigated for his role in a multi-billion dollar financial scandal. A travel ban has been imposed on Mr Najib which comes days after his shock election defeat. He's denied any wrongdoing.

Also in the programme: the people of Iraq are voting in their first parliamentary election since the country declared victory over the Islamic State group; and from North Korea - an eyewitness account from the countryside by the head of the UN's World Food Programme.
