3:03 pm
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 their income falls through the line. yes i'm worried about the small farmers if the price keeps dropping that 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 somewhat concerned 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 fear for example the sugar mill won't take any responsibility if the farmer can't deliver the product but i don't care whether there's
3:04 pm
a drought or flood or the farmers take all the risk the government also wants to build $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 d'antoni thailand. and let's take a look at the headlines here now does it and now lebanon's president michel aoun is expected to issue a statement on the prime minister's resignation sadly how do you resigned on tuesday after days of nationwide protests stephanie decker has more from beirut. one of the last road blocks which is on an archery road through the capital. with

3:08 pm
besides billions of foreign aid going to haiti why do citizens say that they are 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 and an estimated 2000000 children are unable to attend school protesters are fed up. to resign. 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 juvenile maurice go and if he doesn't want to ruin to set fire to the whole country . so joining us to discuss the protests from port au prince of alina. and
3:09 pm
anti-corruption activists also in port au prince i mean 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 mon 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 of 1000000000 a year in port au prince as well what are you seeing and does that vibe with what
3:10 pm
william sees what the listening in haiti. is amusing oh well. impunity in social injustice. even with me i mean it's chaos in the city what that. is following a year and a half of nonviolent welcome is asking for accountability asking for the government in the show's cup week or watching in impunity when the power is based on russian 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 ballot of go up people in the streets have been very clear
3:11 pm
about the argument you're not only protesting for the sake of what bestia. this is what you want want the president to resign they are saying why they want a president museveni because it is a walking well option in the also giving way is to 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 fear as 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 to out in civilian i just said. corruption is a is a is a matter of perception you know you can go on and i q's people are being caught.
3:12 pm
being caught without any profile. but i mustn't but i'm saying is there was a fact a lot of the young men said on the street the country is going to you know an amount of chaos and blow ones out. 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 along the 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 the country but today you want to post a shot you want to lead to more death for what i am going to lead on if you want 'd
3:13 pm
to but even under that she's even you know a public properties even planted but it is but those out if you see it for that and our national economy we cannot continue on this stuff. and yes i want 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 everyone if you're not with us and including me i am need you hear me i am not coming to me. i am be responding to what i believe so you know our nation if you don't want to eat. it so do you agree say that's a menace and lena i know the other talk would like to would like to join the
3:14 pm
conversation at a time go 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 they want 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 out
3:15 pm
to asking for 4 for you know for accountability so let us things right now you know a little early. it that you will agree with me any number of society if there was such a. fox that got money that you have. been misuse about and then in the most 80 why the process doesn't go through justice why we don't want to follow what is being done now because senate the senate on this is not to the high court of a cow that sat i think i'm just waiting for a little gap so i can bring you back into the conversation when it's just a matter of time so why don't we i mean now if someone want to make me believe. the destruction of the little we have that would be a deal with you to go to that to prove the money has been misused. i certainly
3:16 pm
respectfully disagree with that i don't think that you're right where we need to let the justice system works i think i have things. i would like to say that we can't justify violence by we understand when actually any percent of the people are poor with no basic service with no health no education there's no way you can how social peace. so it's any society in the world when you have so much inequality in force. and in social exclusion it's like understandable to have. an allowance because but it's the way for people to express and also to make their voice heard but we're not saying that it's good but as simple was filled that those people are the.
3:17 pm
i mean the government or the society make the buttons to them every big so maybe the response is like a reaction. for the social injustice that you live in every day. then floyd i did it well let me. just close one eye because. if you see. it's the people you have to use violence not only against the government but again this will say if it is against those who have that's what you want to debbie yes i hear i hear you all just weighing in on the protests and how the protests have grown and changed in how peaceful they all seem to day i'm going to move us on a little bit because a so much more to talk about medicare so a little bit earlier if not you mention the pet stroke a project i want to explain that for our audience it is an oil project of venezuela in which funds were allegedly misappropriated and then not used to build some of
3:18 pm
the public works and infrastructure projects that they were supposed to be used for so this is a tweet from just reporter says examples of incomplete picture projects litter the map of haiti the investigation has happened but no action taken a sitting president company is named not in this project she mentions but in many other she says that is one aspect of what's troubling her here's another just continues by saying. these are the things that keep me up at night households are struggling under 20 percent inflation to make ends meet consultation fees and medications are even harder to afford when prices for basic necessities are rising mr van i want to give this one to you because she seems to wrap this all up under corruption and that being the greatest frustration for people who are struggling to survive how would you respond to her listen she's right you know cautions
3:19 pm
it's not issue of today and 80 has been for years but unfortunately all governments. private sectors they are something to do ready it it's a matter of national. you know it we're going to to deal with it because they issue muscle to tat we tend to believe or we tend to just really focus on is going to get the question is also the private sector as well but when she mentioned about. misuse well it is right doc brown was misuse and that's why i believe as i said before and any normal society the process the justice process system has to be working and we have to let it go but what i want and i want to add something so larry. on this right now is i mean i. believe that we had yes i would like to give a bit of context just to be walk on facts on what the people using one mean the
3:20 pm
better can you be for the war was a false point that philip went. most of the people can't be in was in those old during the period to combat which is the power of the political party in power most will be was embezzling you mean what you feel government and what we have been like i was seeing so you know i know how it's for accountability on what's happening on the people can you be and i'm also going to butt in but it will be the 1st report and the 2nd point there are companies well old by the current president which was on in that little opposition that it i mean are you going to let me when i look at relates to the news that i made a little was not i don't believe a lot so i guess we only have so much time when i hear you make the point these allegations are minister i know that at time wants to speak to you as well.
3:21 pm
i know just a few minutes and we can spend the entire show talking about the train wreck at on what do you want to add go ahead place you know what i want to say this is not just about this is ok or do we move forward and like you have the as we speak right now when people are asking you know the government to do something they are asking for real changes so one of the few things that's happening is the president playing put by gained and making promises on radio and t.v. and you cannot you know we nearly 3 years into the president since he came into power and this is still happening is still making promises in my opinion i figure one of the biggest. opposition to this present is this promise because you can't let me just have a little bit of your president right hand and we can hear what he is saying to the people who are protesting and hating let's have a listen. i want to take this moment to say to the people out on
3:22 pm
the streets those who are protesting across the country that i hear your voice is. done. i am working so that peace returns and so that schools can be operational i was working to avoid the unknown so that in place of this unknown there is a change for an end to the system and to establish another system for a country to be at peace with awareness and development. the president says he's listening to us listen to the protesters of haiti if you. i i don't i don't i don't fake. this is how the people in the streets feels right now because every time the president speaks after that you see more portis you see more very good you see more and more anger i mean there's a there's a big part of the world like of credibility that is playing right now so i think something has to be done so we can move forward because we all agree love right now
3:23 pm
and i don't see any of that. something has to be done but as a journalist you need to explain that to the people to give us something needs to be done we cannot keep saying something isn't it we need to cut. but why hop in when the president writes everybody knew it was a show called bob and. he said we may have met on the issue of. we may disagree with him but it is the call it was not the country no there was a situation there was a curious someone wants to tell you that is the way to go to skip that country that was going to look all the. kids going to go to school and the contras not peace i don't see when we used to see you know it or not i don't know me i've been there i've been to whatever it is it was sure what i had as its we didn't know it and put aside our differences let us see all we can get out of this do not sit down you
3:24 pm
know i'll never know the necessary and guess at the other has has it impatiently waiting so i want to bring in men but i want to do it via the community because they're also patiently waiting so i fear the conversation going on here and it's very similar to what i'm seeing online i want to play 1st a video comment from someone who kind of echoes what i'm hearing that there needs to be change and action and dialogue so this is a bill by sam for here's what he told the stream the political situation and he will you will he from london 7 we deployed as been demanding the departure of the president just now in movies in my hope in you and in the genetic code you need . and. we need to. inform the new government to get tone she of these political crazies to lead an economical queasy. i think you could you could ever say we need dialogue
3:25 pm
byte online people watching live one of them is pierre part here says the president john on leaving would hardly thinks anything he goes on to say it's because this is nothing new this is been going on for 40 years everyone comes into power the people want them to leave after 6 months yes there's corruption but it's a cycle he seems to be saying there at certain what do you make of that. go back a little bit on dial of concepts dialogue is based on trust when there's no trust you can have a balance right now people don't trust the president that this shows the government because the president has been giving work and promises for 2 years and a half now and then you know if you have the question still campaign you know he's talking about was one what he wants to do what he would plan to do while actually people are struggling and we don't have signal just see if you want to fight
3:26 pm
against corruption but there's no single nobody get arrested so that's the problem so there's no way you can convince people and make them believe you want to move forward and you want you want to be sincere with a dialogue when you can't keep on larry believe it it's been like that at one point was yours and threw it on the table of that because what let you said it talking about charles well the choice is book weighs the lack of choice isn't within this country is deep within this country it is not a matter of being pleased that today because those of us within our society we don't trust each other that's a reality that's a but i believe through dialogue you come with your your point of view you come with your concerns and we'll discuss that because if you keep staying because of no choice and the country is dying. women you know you really need a lot which a lot of people are woods i mean it's not about what you and i mean i don't i mean
3:27 pm
i believe as it really is that the minister looked at him as a minister no i'm talking about additions you want to say. the women still risen you're still missing even if you're missing and i hasten citizen villein i hear you i hope you learned it let me share something with you because this is also important to. know is the right as. well i hear i hear you coming from this is really important for our international audience a villian or i really want to share this with us or you know these stats this is what the haitian economy looks like right now it's the poorest country in the western hemisphere the g.d.p. is less than $10000000000.00 more than half the people live on less than $2.40 a day inflation at 20 percent what is any government despite this current
3:28 pm
government that you're not particularly happy with do about that these a major major economic issues what is your suggestion what do you need what we need. and that's what i wanted to tell the minister went down to happen. it takes somebody that we can trust like it's a one saying in the last commission but the president did to lead the dialogue the day after is also a couple of days after the address the nation some members of the commission resigned because part of the dialogue was as president winning is meant on the table so that we could. move forward so if the president is not maybe to listen to the pointer heads of people what one should talk to cozzens of people who have been protesting in the streets why don't we near in putting is meant that on the table does the reason why the dialogue didn't obviously last in the very much. the sense
3:29 pm
of that because when he was giving a press depressed a press briefing he said that is that it is not the touch of it that it once and secondly is wedded to form a unity nash you're not even i might like to cover on that implying there is missed . but i fail because it's not surprising when i started writing my my i would just really want to say his response was not only us it really that the president listened because throw is press briefing he said that he said that. the discussion the dialogue if before has to be put on the table is ready to discuss that's why even a plan to have a unity national government it could be from the opposition well you understood that well we have problems that look at that to work together we still can work on the different ideas i mean the issue is that this is my personal concern when we keep destroying the country like this you who wants to be an departed tomorrow i
3:30 pm
will lead on this i don't understand just. i think also believe that it will make it clear i do not want to be on power i am a sitting front i want to lead decently why. did i bring in let me bring in let me bring as this is really interesting. if i may i'd say that. the whole idea of the show was can haiti move away from constant crisis listening to this conversation and knowing what you know from an economic point of view his top possible yes. it's possible. it is is that what's valued there is no political stability if you let me finish let me get a limb is very sensitive about it but you know it's just like. we said you know when that mess is so tight for money i just want to hear about how those houses noticeable go ahead go ahead. yeah the economy where cory is
3:31 pm
possible you know it's possible to. to actually get to on track with you know jobs and investment and 1st we made it. there's no way you can make the country more economically if you have political trouble like that but the political trouble it'll come from the sky they've been you know the and created by but governance and. the incapacity of the of the government to really put everything in place so i'm going to name a few more so i do that here i don't know that because we're not going to see a lot so much to talk about and height say thanks so much to talk about the villein at the top and minister we really appreciate you being on the show today we will
