thailand but we're seeing supporters of previous governments come out again a much more diverse crowd one of the reasons for that of course is that the demands for political reform that the students have been making for the last few months are reverberating now around many different parts of time a society and this is also another significant anniversary in thailand september 19th marks the anniversary of another military coup in 2006 that saw the removal of a democratically elected government. led by former prime minister taksin shinawatra who remains a very popular political figure in thailand even though he continues to live in exile so we're seeing a lot of supporters of him and his government come out as well so it's gone way beyond just students but the moment it is peaceful all the protests in recent months have been peaceful no sign of any police intervention so far but they have given a notice to the protesters that they must take the park that sits just outside the university short time ago the protests does streamed outside the university campus

into that park which in recent years has been off limits to the public the protest leaders said they wanted to take it back to the people with the police are now saying they must vacate that area and how much of an issue is this to be thing when the government and for the monarchy. well so far the government has seemingly being willing to allow these protests to happen there been saying all the right things trying to placate the protest leaders of the same time though there's been this approach if you like with many protest leaders being arrested most of them have been released on bail but still facing some very serious charges including sedition and in recent weeks we've seen some pretty strong rhetoric from the prime minister. who led that through in 2014 is still the prime minister now and he is the man that the protesters want gone from office and his government with him he just

a few weeks ago said that if the protesters continue like this they risk creating even more divisions in thai society and seeing thailand end up ending up in gulf in flames and he's also trying to play the coronavirus card as well thailand has done a very good job of controlling coronavirus but he said on thursday in a televised nationwide address that if this gathering went ahead in big numbers then the protest is risk introducing a 2nd wave of the pandemic to thailand but seemingly. judging by the numbers that have turned out so far there is no sign of the criticism taking any notice of what the prime minister said ok when many things weigh in here they will of course will keep us across all the developments when they happen. dignitaries from taiwan japan and the u.s. are among dozens of officials paying tribute to the former taiwanese president. at a memorial service in new taipei city lee passed away in july at the age of 97 the taiwanese president signed weren't precisely for building

problems created by others for example the afghans they do awful things who were put in the same basket there's no justice now the police came to our tents and kick us out what can we do as the day went on this road once packed with refugees and migrants almost empty. some try to argue that there is no point. the last few finally making their way to the new camp they prefer to sleep on the streets rather than move into the new facility aid agencies are concerned if there's problems with the conditions. especially today where the camp is not ready for the people of the 10012002 be taken to it what is it for are we talking about 2nd morea with the people piling up the terrible conditions or talking about a reception camp for transit of the population on their way to other places but we're extremely worried that in fact it's just a containment policy that's going to be maintained that is just come to keep people

there for months on that or even years and conditions are going to be worsening usually this would be an ideal location nestled on the shores of a greek island but these tents are a symbol of broken policies of delayed bureaucracy as well as broken spirits and lives on hold most people have now been moved off the streets where they were sleeping to this new camp many of them reluctantly many have told us they don't want to be here fearing that this camp could be worse than moria because it simply isn't ready the next few days will tell how this camp deals with the influx of thousands of people stephanie decker bus island greece now fears of a 2nd wave of coronavirus infections in the major european countries is forcing governments to reimpose restrictions spain is limiting movement in and around the capital madrid and british and french people are being warned to expect a repeat of earlier restrictions is not in baba. early on in the pandemic spain was
