8:04 am
a lot of drugs here lots of they are killing one another you can hardly sit outside because of the shooting so i get them inside. in the sun not his real name told us children in the slums do not have opportunities drugs he say is what allows many to escape the problems they face every day death among young teenagers here has become a regular thing. has been working in the neighborhood for decades trying to fill in the empty space left by the argentinean state she has a foundation that feeds around 600 children who come to this soup kitchen every day . inflation is making things difficult we have a budget from last year and we are struggling to get the meals children need especially eggs everything that is protein we can only buy 50 percent of what we need in. the ngo is also trying to keep the children off the streets with education
8:05 am
and sports. what is crucial to change this is education it's what will allow them to dream of going to university many of the kids we have here don't know how to read and write you can't get out of poverty without education and jobs. and that's something governments here have repeatedly failed to resolve. even though argentina is a country that produces food for millions of people around the world it has failed to resole its structural economic problems leaving millions of children in the country. and ignored. sugarcane farmers in parts of asia are struggling because of an oversupply that sent prices to their lowest levels in 6 years some of the world's largest producers have huge stockpiles including in thailand where the new harvest is about to begin when he reports. this factory in northeast thailand isn't supposed to be operating
8:06 am
at the moment it's usually a time to prepare for the new harvest of should be cane to arrive from farms around the province of tiny instead it's still processing and bagging last season's product which for now isn't going any further than the storage sheds which are becoming increasingly full right now is that yeah because everything is throw just wait and see last season thailand produced more sugar than ever contributing to a global surplus and helping the price to plummet it has a stockpile of around $7000000.00 tonnes over a 1000000 more than it had at the same time last year another reason there is so much excess at the moment is because historically a lot of time and indian sugar has been smuggled into china but this year chinese authorities have cracked down on that illegal process to try to protect their own sugar industry. exports from thailand are also being affected by the strength of
8:07 am
the thai baht which has been asia's best performing currency this year its farmers who are hurting the most costs are going up while the income falls through the mill . yes i'm worried about the small farmers if the price keeps dropping then i'm afraid that people will give up if we don't see any signs of improvement in a few years it will be bad. the oversupply and low prices are expected to remain for a few years which may affect thailand's long term plans to increase sugar production by 70 percent some a concern that if the expansion happens it will only benefit big businesses that can operate with smaller margins and further squeeze small farms. growing sugarcane costs a lot of money and the deals between the farmers and sugar mills are not that fair for example the sugar mill won't take any responsibility if the farmer can't deliver the product but they don't care whether there's a drought or flood the farmers take all the risk the government also wants to build
8:08 am
$29.00 new sugar mills in the northeast each with a biomass power plant attached they use the material left over after the should be cane is crushed as fuel but with thailand sugar industry expected to lose more than $329000000.00 this season those plans may have to be reconsidered wayne hay al-jazeera who don't tiny thailand. this is algeria to get around now of our top stories lebanon's prime minister sat having it he has resigned after days of protests at the move may not be enough for the demonstrators demanding an end to government corruption and economic strife definitely some people try to take advantage of this into a revolution and movement whereby they will try to ride this wave and it's normal but the majority of the people on the streets are not the food is

nations because it was so many nationalities. little just that we all come to different places but it's one that gives us bankruptcy us the ability to identify people who may live on the side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. i have very ok. here in the stream today protests in haiti have flared up yet again what can be done to move the country away from perpetual crisis we're talking about solutions for his economic woes and we want to know what suggestions you have shared them with us via twitter or in our lives. already i'm an international journalist and your industry. decides billions of foreign aid going to haiti why do citizens say that they are
8:12 am
not seeing any benefit to the people demonstrators want change to the country to food fuel shortages lack of public services and alleged government corruption around 20 people have been killed in the current wave of protests which are in its 7th week violence between police and demonstrators have put everyday life at a standstill many businesses have been forced to close as an estimated 2000000 children are unable to attend school protesters are fed up. to. we're demanding that juvenile moyse leave power because there are many young people that can't work rather than work they offer us arms many of us went to school we learned a profession but we can't work in this country that's why we're demanding that job no more use go and if he doesn't want to read want to set fire to the whole country . so joining us to discuss the protests from port au prince of alina. and
8:13 am
anti-corruption activists also in port au prince an economist and author of the book haiti has chosen to be a poor country in minneapolis minnesota to bomb a journalist who's been covering the protests he has contributed reporting on haiti to news outlets including al-jazeera and from monaco is haiti's foreign minister at mom welcome everyone to the stream so good to have you here and i want to start with people online because that's where a lot of frustration is being vented right now alina i'll direct this one your way it's from william who describes what life is like these days william says i'm currently in port au prince it's an arche he goes on to say every major roadway paved is blocked by rocks trash stalled out vehicles it costs roughly $10.00 to $20.00 across each blockade and there's no way in and out of the city so a 1000000000 a year in port au prince as well what are you seeing and does that vibe with what
8:14 am
william sees. what the listing in the haiti today and especially in pell grants is a results of well well action in pune it's an instance of injustice even when we i mean what it's chaos in the city what that. is following a year and a half of nonviolent welcome is asking to come to believe asking for the government in the shows that we call watching in impunity when the power is based on impunity social injustice and motion is 20 percent when there is no hope in the country it can only lead to kill us and we have not seen any sign from the government apart from repression of quite well killing the protesters we have not seen any clear sign that we would see the light at the end of the world and the battle of go up people in the streets have been very clear
8:15 am
about the argument you're not only protesting for the sake of what best you get this is what you want and want the president to resign they are saying why they want a president museveni because he is a walking well option in the also be well used just once and for all so that we can so it is also in for as long as government remains in power it seems as if the thing's going to be pointing us so the pitch as it will saying right now for your eyes on the screen as a protest from october the 27th when i say you are outside of haiti right now as you are traveling around the world and people are seeing pictures like that they're hearing about protests and i take how do you explain what is going on to them. i do but i will i only say that 2 out means really and i just said. corruption is a is a matter of perception you know you can go on and i q's people are being co-opted.
8:16 am
being caught without any proof whatsoever but i mustn't what i'm saying is there was a fact why do young men sit on the street the country isn't you know an amount of chaos. and what is that invested. i mean i would accept that some of the of what this does you know demands i lay sheets right we cannot a long way from that but whenever there is violent killings that in people's property this is not legitimate so. don't tell me that the protest was peaceful now it cannot be any more peaceful it has to be a peaceful protest because once you keep burning down everything you had and a country but today you want to put a shot you want to lead tomorrow jeff or what i am going to lead on if you want 'd
8:17 am
to but even under that she's even you know a public properties even planet but it is but those out if you see it for that and our national economy we cannot continue on this stuff. and this something that expressed our feelings but it doesn't have to be violent. minister if you want a lot i did not say that i did that the purpose of life i am saying that there was a year and a half of peace who what this and follow was peaceful for this population which is becoming more by the way i don't think the population this is like this is well this is where we want to look at us and including me i am need in haiti i am not coming to me. i am be responding to what i believe so really in our nation i really don't want to eat. it so do you agree say this and then essentially now i know that other top would like to would like to join the conversation at times go
8:18 am
ahead yes i think i figure it's fair to say like when we talk about corruption haiti just it's not just a matter of like perception it's the question is really really deep for example what's fueling. what's fueling these protests the most is the picture points like like the picture carrying before and was designed exclusively to help the haitian government support the most of your. people in haiti to social programs and it's too late very like this for it this prickly needed infrastructure in haiti but what happened at the end of the day it's it turns out to be a scam and when you when you when you're covering to put this in the streets people are very very frustrated and in the world to know what happened that money and i have to agree. with billy at some point because in the beginning when the reports came came came out last year people were organizing cities and i would later is set
8:19 am
out to asking for 4 for you know for accountability so let us things right now you know a little early. it you will agree with me any number of society if there was such a. fox that that money that you had. been misuse but and then in the most 80 why i had to pour sense doesn't go through justice why does not follow what is being done now because when it is said that this is not to the high court of a college south i think you are just waiting for a little gap so i can bring you back into the conversation when it's just embarrassing stuff.
