says from the occupied westberg to israel. witness their incredible story soon. over 9 years. desert smugglers with this document on the jersey to cultivating food, which is the foundation of human civilization. but food today is a global commodity. if the industry did not make money, how many people would be on and how it's cultivated, the contentious debates, public interest in the public safety is definitely not taking precedence and in depth examination into agri business. and the conflicting interests play industry doesn't want any regulation. they just want to put the products on the market. the price of progress on outages, era the, the elections on the way in china. and as the doors as a controversial full related presents a strong challenge to the military,

back ruling policy, the low on money and saw you, this is out, is there a life also coming up celebrations and gaza off to israel on this logic? you had group agree to an egyptian broken ceasefire, the main presidential candidates and took a, a pet symbolically significant sites ahead of sundays tonight. the swedish thing in lorraine where the senior vision song contests in liberal, in an ever dominated by 2 beings to break the facing is on the way in china and general elections seen as a potential turning point for the country. more than 50000000. as high as the

election, 500 members in the lower house, the military banks, prime minister, prior to not ya, is running for re election 8 years of coming into power in a 2014 co opinion polls indicating major gains for the opposition at the expense of the governing policies and unlikely test for the pro minutes re establishment. let's go to tony chang, who joins us now live from bangkok, tony. so one of the main issues in the run up to the selection i think the economy is dominating the minds of voters here. but i think also it's a choice for them to either choose between the states as quote we've seen military bank pauses ruling this country since the qu in 2014. 0, to make a choice. and i think we seen from the poles and the build ups, the election that many people do want to change the a. i'm not particularly happy with the state of the economy. they weren't very happy with the way the current of ours in pen demik was handled and they wanted

more progressive. more for thinking government. there were lots of people turning out. hey, we are in the knows that bank what we understand. that's the case all around the country today. the election commission says as many as 85 percent of voters could turn out the good a large number of people to choose from 70 pauses on the ballot paper. but it is that basic stock choice between states as quote and change. i think a lot of votes is also recognize that the vote they cost, they won't be the end of this mass. so this is just the selling. so the price of the election commission, which is fav at the minute she back governments in the cost is already investigating the $2.00 main parts is about position. also. anyone who wins the selection has to get over the military backed senate, which is $250.00 votes, and it looks at the moment as of now on to get the overall majority. they need a 376 votes. i think also there's a hotel that's from voters that if they come out in the log in very large numbers, and if the choices is very clear,

then that would be the option for too many people to in, to say the results. okay, thank you for that, tony taking that for us in buying co plus get more or less we can speak to punch in the say one a board who's an associate professor of the social sciences at national university . she joins been buying cock. thank you for your time. talk politics has as we've been hearing that been dominated by the military and the monarchy for decades is the public appetites for change this time around. as well as the morning from bank tax. yeah. this time, you know, a lot of our border, especially the younger generation, one change because of a kind of slow down and some of the things that the government cannot really have does it. but each time we, you know, that the large numbers of people be able go out toward a funded pre elections, 90 percent of what they're turn out in time out last week. and this time we are expecting about 80 percent of our turn out. and these time, you know, so we can see that, that high potential for the ball position party made by,

you know, the pro toxeme, the former government of thailand, so called good hi party. we will be in the great test number of speed. but again, you know, last election, i also want the election, but they would not really form the government to fund the be another story behind maybe has are, you know, where we are, the problem, you know, to solve the government after the selection. because you know, as i mentioned earlier, is really difficult. lockwood high to again, brief certain industries in order to nominate the prime minister after form the corners and government. and you're talking about position policies. i mean as poor tie, which is the popular pro reform policy. but this time, it's also up against a new anti military policy to move forward policy, which is very popular with the younger generation, i believe. tell us a bit more about them and how you expect them to do as well. in this election, m m m an extension, you know, the good time to be number one in the fall it be be number 2,

but i think it's of these really difficult talk. what? hi, i move on to the farm cottage and government together because moves on what part of the pro cause to wind to ground article is basically it's about or, you know, revisions are the reform all the lay my just the law, which is i don't think that but hardly would love to dive these tardy in order to find the place has gotten them. and you've been wanting to come and you know, to be in the long term to stay for years term. i think i need to find out there for the to pull, pardon me, that you know time. so what is the go along with this and move our, pardon me, this time you know, we have a lot of young border about 14 millions and a lot of 1st time borders. i think most of them are really keen to work fine and most of our party, as you can see, use that, you know, a lot of number of people, especially the younger generation, did travel back home in the provinces. that's who was, this is really surprising. so comes done, said the deluxe sending thailand, you don't really see a lot of those people go out of the bank and trying to ward or trying to cast that

point into pre elections day. yeah, that's interesting. and tell us a bit more about why uh, even if one of these pro reform and see ministry potty wins, they wouldn't be able to necessarily be able to form a government. i mean, what is the reason for that and what is it going to take to change that, you know, and um, you know, apply the credit card needs to be difficult for them because you know, you know, the pollution government and told me to nowhere near the prime minister, the political party have to get at least half of the whole house, boy, lot the upper and lower. how much use about 376. and so far, you know, you can come to pull that have report plus high or prototypes being tardy. stick again, about 170 or 200 speed. it's just difficult to to bomb, you know, are the coordination of government. you have the, you know, minority government, it's really difficult to try to talk and you know, after that in that time. so i mean,

this is so difficult. hancock with high that's why they have to buy either political party. and i think that they're inform, you know, they have a high potential good type parties to form the question a couple, maybe one or 2 from the political party, from the conservative side. i believe that is possible, you know, to proper times and form the punishment government and the formula 3 government id company and conventional women at this time, all along which are right party and some have a quest that machine site party in order to maintain, you know, 376 or at least 2 to be in order to pass the log and they have a 4 digit government and be sent really interesting to get your inside punched. the city won a board associated professor of the social sciences at my adult university speaking to a staff from bangkok. thank you. thank you. a cus says welcome the ceasefire agreement between israel and the palestinian arms group islamic to had in gaza off to 5 days of heavy fighting augustine's in gauze. a celebration being

a bombardment of these radiated as tribes taking a place at 2 cities of take all the strip. one of them updated the eastern side of the other. one is the eastern side of the gauze. no casualties were reported. and the situation seems now is a bit of a cautious silence. a silence is over coming vis. reset because we have seen at people we cannot be in the morning trying to go to their businesses. it's trying to continue what their life is about it, according to what happened from the government to what stated from the government. eh, the have announced that the opening of a, the 2 main, a boat is crossing gulf l for the gall, this trip cut them all beside them, which is the main bullet of crossing the lone fuel and supplies to end the gauze on . the other one is a bit time any questions along the patients and where, cuz to go through the westbank, there are indications that the cease fire is holding onto this very moment. but this has garza and there is always a moment of discussion that could happen at any moment. villain mox is south of these early city of ask along the, the goal is

before sunday's presidential and parliamentary elections. president wretch up type at one attendant evening prayers at the highest fee and most with thousands of support. his sundays version is considered to be the biggest challenge to is 20 years in power. meanwhile, the opposition candidate came up to the child. charlo didn't hold a riley on saturday. instead, he paid his respects to most of the come out at the tech, found the most modern tech a kills through was accompanied by crowds of his supporters at the most of them in the capital on. correct? well, the rising cost of living has become a bad and so many people making the economy a central issue in the elections. somebody's aidan reports from a stumble on saturday york is among many wrestling with tough economic times. people are grappling with annual inflation of 64 percent and unemployment of 10 percent. that's the strain on his coaching business.

need you to understand that about a year or 2 ago we had more students and you know it's hard stuff. we can buy montessori copeland and often governments adjusted interest rates to control inflation. but it's a tricky move. raising rates may bring down prices, but it can cause economic growth to tumble to to avoid that, the government has kept rates low. prices have remained high and the economy has become an election issue. someone let's say, as long as he's a right to prioritize growth. so you can't use the same interest instrument as the us dollars or european economy is the u. k. a is using because demand or even factors down, meaning showing those advanced economies authorities into a key, se, inflation here as a problem of supply. the price is all about supply and demand. as we know when

price is a high, $1.00 of the things that governments often try and do is raise interest rates, which has the impact of taking money out of society because people have less access to it. and then hopefully prices go down. this company is trying to do something different though, is trying to leave interest rates alone. leave the access to money as it is, but then increase production because businesses now have better access to money to and with more products in society then be long. hopefully, prices go down because of supply. it's an unorthodox policy and it's yet to actually lower prices. but it has kept the wheels of the economy turning with annual growth at 5.6 percent still took it in ports move and it exports leaving account the account deficit that undermines investor confidence. somebody call them to say a reckoning is inevitable that some point something would have to give by something i mean either the interest rate or the exchange rate. if they insist on controlling

the interest rates and the exchange rates, altima the, the exchange it with the impulse. so consumers like these bad i'll talk, it's nothing academic the bank. i went shopping with a to see how it's getting hard to buy the usual as ingredients. we're going to make total overhead buying the ingredients the all the guy is the most. now what are we going to buy it as opposed to? yeah, using facility. yeah. so, so there's no, no, no, i can't put that much anymore. contra c o expensive beans are now is i'm being told off because i'm taking too much if promises of a better tomorrow don't satisfy only people. it may be those who serve authorities are disappointed. dish somebody say then how do 0? if somebody still ahead on al jazeera hello to me is lensky. holes talks with pipe fonts. as of the vatican seeking support the cranes piece plan on hundreds of thousands of people and they have to stay for the ground on the dash and beyond.
