12:07 pm
well, they will see you and have something else to celebrate the same marriage rights. this heterosexual couples, thailand's government, to prove the draft of marriage, equality bill in november. it will now be handed to the parliament to debate with wondering what might happen to get the bill passes on me one day. i think we will legally be able to support our partners to them as many of the our lives that will be easier. how did you do that? my name and what them? i don't mean we won't have to hide anything from anyone. i couldn't do it because the law will be behind us. i thought i name and a lot of what i me the bailout st. pete, new off, what do we don't want to be privileges and will fight people misunderstand that something and think we're calling for special treatment that may be our community just wants to be treated fairly night and they log in every day. life out in thailand has one of the most open, invisible,
12:08 pm
gay communities in asia. but activists say this reputation is misleading because the country is known as an institution, still discriminate against l. g p t q plus people they say this allows the human stadia in all parts of society. previous attempts at posting those of marriage equality were blocked by the full a minute treat government. but hoops, monks, the gate community would re ignited of the prime minister. se touch was in was elected in august this year. the and the, his government's proposal was man and woman and husband and wife would be replaced with the gender neutral times individual and spouse. in marriage laws, allowing for full equality for all the bills still has a few hurdles to pause before it becomes low. but many l g p t q plus activists in
12:09 pm
thailand feel they're closer than ever before to having that cruise for quality onset. martha's unless bundled, want to own jobs, be now from bank off with motor on those bundle, thailand's bottom. and this debating this law, just how often mistakes are the countries eligibility to class community really be yeah, but a lot of times they can be very optimistic. the masters still find, hold on to debate that as it's been ongoing and it's still ongoing right now. that's the only positive from both government and opposition. there's been a lot of support on this bill coming, but of course there's a reasonable portion to it because we have to be to the situation before this whole debate about same sex marriages have been a sort of an ongoing ethics as the sort of ongoing for almost a decade with the latest the last year we have gone through this kind of the day,
12:10 pm
but fail to put it to a vote before it's time is fine. but suddenly, it looks by the, by that these, by the way, these look today, it is likely that that will be both of us leading at the very least at the end of the day. according to our government survey, if i know more than 96 percent of people in thailand are in favor of legalizing same sex marriage is the populace of both of those actually these big and if so, why do activist and complained about discrimination in, in some areas in the mean time, as your reporter says, as one of the most visible and open. so don't have to be do boss community. but that's do some, uh, sort of a song, some attitude, some homophobia so much against it, particularly in the family setting. in 2 days, the made for it sat with holland and many problems harry's causes of their lives
12:11 pm
with ages is i've mentioned that you know, a b b tron is due on acceptable for many families in the highlands. so it is the individual attitude about the same time. there's also some really just thought of as well. why is, what is this that was really time doesn't really have a place that are the issue that be some issue raised by them in our muslim community in the country. because uh, with a drop it will be what varies by it. now this one of the key issues that we have to be discuss. so right now, the problem is likely to both of us, both reading of this bill. and what will happen then is that the committee to discuss these various challenges before that which is the final 2 balls likely early next year, possibly even in the 1st quarter before it becomes law. but yeah, the wife is an openness to society, new key and viewing activities. you boss,
12:12 pm
is there a cost of discrimination and sort of a conservative attitude that is against the whole and or you know, issues are probably going to be able to thing in the summer. i have the time the election that had happened and tied on, and then you have this long process of government formation in which there were various bullets in parliament. and then eventually you had a situation was to move forward, bought david had the largest number of boards in the election could inform the government. if this being a boss is in the parliament, would this in a way don't as a win for a government. and hence help legit and why is it even more as well in many ways the bill of the drama in, in, in 2 days have 4 different be able to support the government and why would fall and then move forward all ends upon them together. and in fact, the spirit of the bill and the content of the bill of all these views of 5 similar
12:13 pm
to each other. so in a way, if this bill would possibly be a victory, not only for the government but, but for, i guess i talk to some of the victory for all sides and hide politics in many ways to help a cost the pilot government. because for them, this would be a major achievement, the kinds of probably only 3 months, the private to his time. but for the opposition to forward this issue to be very close to the hospital, it will also be the reason for that as well. in their respect because they have been campaigning for this equal marriage there. right, we leave it there with the time being, but thanks so much for joining us today. i found a one to whom, from bank of thanks so much i, the russian president, vladimir 14 has left the country for over 2 decades, keeping the opposition at bay. but the electronic commission say is more than a dozen candidates a fire to run in the upcoming presidential election. one of them is
12:14 pm
a former journalist who wants to go over the ukraine to end the tucker to extend a different story. the news jennifer fall? okay, reports you can just email them solver is planning to run as an independent anti war challenger to fly to me, a protein in next year's presidential elections. and she wouldn't have a case that's the day of the situation in russia is such that those people who could represent citizens with the democratic views and values and the upcoming elections are either in prison. have their rights restricted are under criminal prosecution, or have chosen to leave all of them. let me give it to you, but until you were thinking of them since the idea arose why there shouldn't be a woman as president as a symbol of softness, kindness and feelings. that the need i immunization you do solve a says she's aware of the risk of be openly critical of the kremlin. she's already been interrogated over her opposition to the war in ukraine. and shortly after she
12:15 pm
made an appeal for campaign funds via social media transfers to her bank account for blocked. despite this, didn't solve a has had to counter claims that she's a criminal stooge. a so called spoiler candidates, either drawing votes away from the main or position, or acting as a democratic sick leave for political analysts. a bus study almost says she has a strong political record in her home region where she was a member of the local parliament. that means. a no personal fine, you have no grounds to say that doing so. there is no dieting. sincerely power. well, she has a good reputation, the ballpark of what she just showed yourself as a driven personally the with sincere ideas as a person who cares about the realization of a deals no, don't pretend to speak politics and you can influence letting me approaching is
12:16 pm
widely expected to another term as president, it would be his 5th. you will let you know, he announced his candidacy after handing out military awards implicitly linking his re election but to the war. and yet such a strategy couldn't misfire with a challenger, who's also focusing on the war says abbas study. i'm a how do you spell out on a bit of the risk isn't guiding too much support invoice is great, especially during her election campaign events on the front deteriorate. and this company ruled out, which means that anti will sentiment will increase. and then the protest voters will go to vote for, for the grievances and stuff like that. and you just pull, you could do nothing to solve. a can count on local support here in the graph where she made her name as a tv drawn a list. but nationally, she's relatively unknown. state media is ignoring her in order to run blue silver needs the support of a 500 strong special interest group,
12:17 pm
and 300000 unique voters from at least 40 regions of russia for 60 very much. but she, watching the prospects may not be very good because we all see what happens to people who declare their position one way or another, or as many. and i get them from being recognized as a for an agent to being prosecuted. i want to believe in the best outcome for the in fact, if something like that happens, it will only prove that the current authorities have a weakness and i think they don't want to show it. perfect. and even if she manages to officially register observer, say there's little doubt over the outcome of the election. a shot in the germany, the government has announced a series of gods to next is budget. it comes off to the court ruling through the government's finances into the survey. what followed was weeks of political wrangling as politicians attempt to defend the budget. hold lots, tens of billions of goals. now the germans of finding out who received a bunch of us, tennessee,
12:18 pm
the deputies michela case now reports these demonstrations by farm is some of the dramatic loss interests. the government government is currently seeing of a bunch of cuts where they have no clue and we're having to pay for it from is that inquiry about the subsidy cuts on diesel fuel, but they are not alone. pulse, so that overall and the 17 percent of demons are still happy with the work of tonsil. that will have salts has 3 way coalition of social democrat screens and the pro business liberal f d p policy. or that kind of the counselor isn't saying a thing that we saw these days. there isn't even a need for an opposition that people are making up their own mind. so what's happened is from the bus stop, i see it. what's happening is that salt as cabinet says styles, is attacking the own budget compromise that took weeks to reach this after court ruling and mid november, 1st the government to present new ponds. at the last cabinet meeting before the christmas break, kotis and ministers were officially informed about the deal. patience is wearing
12:19 pm
thin on all sides because it does present lee. i would have preferred to being able to tell you all these details earlier, but it took as long as it did, and now everyone has a reliable bases to act upon. the last public ones log off the idea and couldn't painful is how several ministries have described. the cuts they now face 800000000 years alone will be slash sometime in east foreign policy budgets. so political button may look empty over the christmas break, but old ministries are chuckling this figures until parliament sits again into agree moving from a political story to a science story, you know, over a 1000000 people are killed annually by a problem that is becoming more critical by the yeah, and t microbial resistance. many pathogens can no longer be controlled by the most effective medicines we have for finding them. developing new ones has now grown crucial. and c microbial resistance affects us all because anyone could,
12:20 pm
at some point, be infected by potentially deadly common microbes that no longer respond to the medicines we used to treat them globally, am or pathogens already kill more people than either h i v aids or malaria. it's a trend that has experts very worried it's getting worse and onto the allstate. resistance is rising. if you don't do anything, no, we will have a post onto about to do, you know, by 2050 the most direct threat to human health as opposed by antibiotic resistant bacteria, often called super bugs. the w h o has identified priority pathogens among them, drug resistant clostridium, diff, a seal, which can cause life threatening diarrhea, as well as a drug resistant strain of the bacteria that causes gonna re, uh half a dozen others or even more deadly. if you combine all of those 6 passages,
12:21 pm
it's the responsive of it for close to 75 percent of all this attributable to trunk resistant infections in 2019 blood stream infections animal and the morning i am meningitis. these are the, the, the leading diseases are causing problems, but antibiotic resistant bacteria are just one aspect of the issue. viruses among them h, i, v, can also grow and responsive to the drugs used to treat them as can parasites, like the plasmodium the causes, malaria. and doctors are also now seeing many more fungal infections that were once easily treatable, acquiring resistance to conventional medications. resistance can develop very fast . it is a new antibiotic because it has introduced for use, right, right now today. so on average, we would see reports of resistance in about 2 to 3 years. but in the lab here,
12:22 pm
if you do this in the lab, you'll see this in 11 days or something like that for certain antibiotics. i think we have to remember it's a not true if alicia in the process and this is excel of it's by the misuse and over use of on to micro deals become stuff that we can fluid thing in the evolutionary arms race with enemies that are too tiny to see with the naked eye, the situation is growing critical. we have to develop new antibiotics and other treatments, and use the ones we already have more wisely. right, the modem this i'm joins are in the studio by the, the science corresponding derek williams. that when they look them, we just have their how pathogens always develop and to microbial resistance. what factors influence that and help a lot of pathogens to spread? well it's, it's a very complex topic with kind of a lot of really moving parts and the, probably the, what's contributing most to resistance, which is a natural, as we heard in the report,
12:23 pm
a natural process of evolution that happens with pathogens. and they grow resistant over time to anything that kills them. so one of the things that we're doing to accelerate that however, is miss using an over using the antibiotics that we rely on so much for our modern health systems and secure these infections that but otherwise become so hard to do . so difficult to deal with it, they would uh that they can actually tell people that, that that's one aspect of it. so it's the over use in the misuse of those of those drugs. another is, for example, then also though the, the, the use of them in an intensive animal husbandry is a prophylactic as a preventive measure to keep animals from contracting these diseases in the 1st place. and that, of course, obviously also drives the evolution of these box. so what i'll be doing to sort of fight these, i mean, why honestly, being able to develop treatments that can fight this?
12:24 pm
well, there are a lot of reasons. it's, it's, it's the whole funding industry and the development of, of these pharmaceuticals as of new pharmaceuticals. this is a difficult topic, it takes a long time to develop a new medicine. it's very, very expensive. it can cause $1.00 to $2000000000.00 to develop a new one. and you gotta, you have a high attrition rate along the way of to invest development phase. now, antibiotics are not a drug that you, that you can make. a lot of money with and, and pharma companies are companies that are interested in making money in, but with, with antibiotics. it's one and done next year towards your to or do you don't need to keep taking it. so there's a, there's a fundamental problem that's led to what a lot of experts say is a really more fully inadequate pipeline in terms of antibiotics. and um, we money enough, so isn't enough to cure the problem. we don't need money. we need actually, we need politics to step in and also do this part. what might life look like? i don't like if you don't manage to develop
12:25 pm
a new medicines that contract all these a mob pathogens it would look really pretty ugly. and it's something that terrifies doctors um, as we, as we heard there's, it's directly responsible for the death of about $1300000.00 people a year annually or annually currently. and it causes, it contributes to the death of a further $55000000.00 i'm. that's about 3 and a half 1000 people every day currently. but if, if, if things continue as they are now, the predictions are that by the year 2050, we could be seeing depths of up to 10000000 people a year. now that would put it in the range of, of, of causes of mortality like cancer or, or heart disease even higher. so it's a scary, scary scenario and we really need to get on top of that where you live at the, for the time being. the thanks so much for bringing all that context. indeed, the science correspondent derek williams. thanks so much. i for some major football news. now the european union stop golf has ruled that you
12:26 pm
a fund fee for broke, you know, and blocking plans for the brake of a super lead. in 2021 involving 12 rebel clubs. the building does not mean this was where the project could be approved, but it does boost hoops. it go to a fee for and you had no rights to make any new inter club football project subject to the prior approval. barcelona. and they all have continued to support the idea of breaking away from us despite sanctions from europe, in unions, from the gulf in football. and so i'm sorry, governing body still watching the videos. here's a reminder of our top story of this diplomats of the you and have been back into the night on a resolution calling for a pause in the fighting and the cause of the us has signaled if may be willing to approve a new draft. he may be known for it is a red outfit, but after the break we go to finland to meet
