1:14 pm
b impacted not just in terms of public health but the economy. the whole of bangkok is down curve who is at 9 p. m. but the baffling out just goes out with the police and it is almost for the past 5 pm. so 3 hours to go before the b. okay. so people are angry, as you say about the call, the response and the slow vaccine rollout. i'm wondering, is that kind of aggravating existing grievances? yes, i mean, it's been, you know, a accumulated ways. and although thailand did quite well early last year, the current way, which is the delta area, have devised said that the high health systems and the economy. so the demonstrative, despite the rest of them felt to be coming, in fact that they decided to be out. we estimate about 3 to 4000 people on the
1:15 pm
street as i speak. yeah, just want to take a moment to run us through what we're seeing there. these live pictures, you can see right pennies, gathering, what seems to be another push. the protected themselves also appear to be very well prepared in terms of wearing helmets. obviously they are bad for the use of it will expected use of, of peer gas there on the streets. it appears to be some thousands of people, as you say, who have taken to the streets of bangkok, private i want to ask you, i mean, what our protest is risking by taking to the streets. because i know by criticizing the monarchy that carries a very serious sentence, they are fully aware, i believe. unfortunately, the names re max you have to spend felt like today. i took
1:16 pm
a picture all rafferty exit to a packing, abusing that thing and apart. you cannot show that on, on the media, on social media. over the pop up at least $100.00 people have been arrested and charged with defaming the monarchy or less, which carry a maximum improvement firm or 15 year. so they are very well aware. so many i using social media particularly on through certain aspect attacking the monarchy, want to people want pending. they're obviously willing to risk a lot, as you say, not just catching cove, it in the middle of the pandemic. but putting their physical cell was in danger. what is it that people want to see change they want a quick introduction or procurement of him in a back seat. currently,
1:17 pm
we only depend on finals which is produced in china. and also the number of gaps receiving is much lower than all considerably lower than we had anticipated. so to believe that if they could remove from our no one else could be was going to have the believe. so they believe that and you have many sprays and needed to better run and deal with the core with 19 prices and the economy impact stemming from the locked out before the 19th. okay. how has the prime minister of general to responded so far? well, he has been adamant and he said he will not resign. he will be the court with 19 prize this truth. and as you can see this afternoon,
1:18 pm
the police are blocking the road leading to the residence, which is inside military camp. the protest i just around they just in minutes war from the rest of the you is not going to refine many people believe they will have to power in more pressure in order to make that happen. and that's what they're doing. this 5, the risk of becoming infected. ok, so this is all happening then in the area leading to the prime minister's residence . if you have just joined us here on al jazeera, these are live pictures from van cox, where as you can see, a dramatic situation is unfolding protested, crashing with police and security forces. they are on the streets of thailand. as we've been saying, people are angry about the country's coven, 1900 response to 60 percent of the time population has been fully vaccinated.

1:20 pm
and the demonstrative feel that if i remove the prime minister general for you and all shop on power and they want, also, he puts down the budget for the monica. the institution in the money would be redirect, was full. the really are the 5 again, with 19 as i have mentioned earlier, only 6 percent off the whole whole population of thailand have been fully vaccinated. the rock scene roll out has been very slow and partly it has to do with the delay or the less than expected. but that's a number of offs for after sending back the could used by a company owned by the problem. so if you months rated very unhappy most just about for you, but the thing or the monitor as well. and that's why the out about 10 minutes walk away from the prime minister residents. so the police are doing everything to stop
