certainly is bigger than i can actually create meaningful change with my platform if i choose to do so. generation school, it's a new series coming soon on. i'll just be around the highlands for prime minister tax and should have lost a sense of say, 8 years of prison after he returns to bank cox and doing a self imposed exile. the hello, i'm kimberly help it. this is l 0. live from the ha. also coming up angry japan after the government says it will start releasing frequent radioactive water from focus stream into clear plan to as early as thursday. nearly 2 weeks after america's worse, while fires in more than

a century. us presidential bide and travels to the why in the island of maui, to witness the destruction and an historic referendum and put, or voters reject drilling for oil in an amazon reserve, one of the world's most diverse bias fears the lovely beginning with breaking news out of thailand were former prime minister tax and ship to watch as incentives to 8 years in prison. now the verdict by the supreme court came just a few hours after he returned to thailand from self imposed exile of 15 years. he's been taken to a bank hoc prison. the jail terms are related to 3 separate cases including abusive power. these developments came on a day. the tie pack eliminates expected to vote on

a candidates put forward by his political allies to form the new government. now alger 0 is tony chang is joining us with the very latest on the phone from bangkok, tony, talk to us a little bit about what we know about this judgment. this just come down. i think it's an important distinction to make. this is not a judgement. the judgement was made more than a decade ago. while mister texting was outside the country. what happened this morning was that he was informed when he landed off the judgment, go by the supreme court, they changed his identity. this was something that missed the tanks and was very much expecting that and they have now taken him to bank of ramon prison. they say that the sentence is ages 2 of those sentences will run concurrently. slightly less than the 10 years that we understand had initially been he'd been sentenced to none . the less, the big question here is, how much is he actually going to?

so there are many possibilities, and there's a lot of speculation in thailand might be released on the ground. so bill health might be a royal pod in ground to and i think it's also very important to remember that his political allies holding a boat this afternoon in palm and for a nomination to form a government he could possibly have one of his allies, is the prime minister in the new government, his policy per time may be in charge of the justice ministry. so there's a lot potentially to play out here. but i think the fact that he has decided to come back and face the music, often all of this time suggest that he's at least prepared to spend one nights in jail. nothing. many people will be surprised if he's a, for the full 18. thank you for clarifying that really important legal new onset is it is a critical distinction. okay, help us understand. then all of this is happening at the time of

a crucial vote. parliament on who will be thailand, new prime minister, help us understand and explain that as well. that is also something i think many people here which seem very closely and trying to account the elections happened 4 months ago. the policy, the one tried to get them and through the denominator prime minister that failed. so the 2nd policy put to the one i lied to. mr. texan has now got a new coalition. they're putting their normandy in front of parliament today, a man called set. uh so we said that they say they had the support in the lower house with him to get the packing he needs. but the big question is in the senate, the up a house that is help with this, there are 250 c til like military a point to send that to. that was with the last know many found out. we don't know at this stage where the mr. fit is getting the get the note from the senate. him he may do that may be part of the deal, bro, mr. techs and back to this stage,

i think everyone is watching proceedings very closely on television. i'm 10. totes indeed. all right, tony chang joining us in the phone from bangkok and with the developments that continue to change by the moment. thank you for that. okay, we're going to bring and provision roach on it for a key is a political analyst and call them this is also the english news website. he joins us from bangkok as well. help us understand. we know that this has been a period of rid lock in recent months. help us understand the legal issues here, given the facts of the timing, the return of taxation, what is certainly no coincidence. how does all of this play out? the fact that he now has had this sentence of 8 years. his judgment though, comes a some time ago. what does all of this mean? what it means to talk soon is desperate. so after a decade and

a half being in exile, he really wants to return home. because here his not just another 1000000000 that idea in thailand is talk soon, should know why the long guess. uh, something elected prime minister of thailand, uninstalled. but that is um, and these are the $74.00. so the thing is, although he has just been sentenced to a d as in prison for corruption related cases. uh once you over the age of 17, you could apply for some lien. and so you say maybe moved to the corrections departments run the hospital or even a private hospitals in the days at and certainly he is seeking the royal pod, the crowns, so they are tied care. sure. on top of that. so just because you want to be back in the office, i mean, why today? why didn't he come 2 weeks ago? certainly today is significant. i mean, thailand's pro,

should've our party has nominated street. so it's having soon to become prime minister in does that play into all of this so absolutely. it's because he is confident that so hours of 5 hours from now today, say tom is gonna say tall be so time for all checks and potty pm candidate will become 5 minutes to elect. uh they have crap. i deal with the whole military journey top political party, which has a lot of $0.10 over the certain top point to send it to us. and we'll jointly vote and just buy a camera or old process because optimal results track since believe uh by the end of the today uh the, the new government will be elected. and that will be the government runs by a party which is normally under his leadership. and could that government perhaps

have a decision on his 8 year sentence? well, they can't do anything. of course they can make sure he's paid comfortably. was 85 prison in which his ready insight bank called we're not in prison as we speak. but again, as i said, he could side to held an old age to seek us for leniency. he could be moved to a hospital all, all infirmary facilities, while awaiting a possible royal cabin to be brand. so, very interesting to him. so we appreciate you joining us for the road, john brooks. thank you for helping us understand as fast moving story. i still haven't met you the right turnage is a power where the government there says thursday will be the start date for the

release of treated radio, active water from the focus stream and nuclear plat into the pacific ocean that china, south korea, and pacific island ations are against the plan for the focus stream and nuclear plant. you add nuclear wash? stock says the water safe. thousands of tons of water was needed to cool the re nuclear reactors following the earthquake. and the sonata be disaster 12 years ago . odd 0 is honda, co montgomery has more from tokyo. we're currently standing outside the japanese prime minister from new york. she does office where he just announced that the plan hasn't been approved. which means starting this thursday, japan will begin releasing treated radioactive waste water from the collapse who question my diet to nuclear plants into the pacific ocean. if ocean and weather permits. now this decision comes just 2 days after to see that visited the plant himself, where he met with tyco representatives and discuss the plan safety. it also comes

on the keels of an i a e, a report in july that endorsed japan slant, but we're already seeing domestically there have been some protests against. she does decision. they cite that pepco doesn't have sufficient data to prove that the plan is safe. they also cite potential negative consequences to the reputation of the cushion by fishermen. now this concern was echoed by the head of japan national fisheries federation, who in a meeting with the prime minister on monday, said that they did not approve japan's plan. the government has allocated around $50000000000.00 japanese yet that's around $342000000.00 us dollars to alleviate any financial impact. this could have also pushing my fishermen alternative to the united states. the president's pledge to help the victims of wild fires in hawaii for as long as it takes jo biden's visited the island of maui. 2 weeks after, at least 100 people were killed. more than 800 remained missing. patty cole hang

the electricity company didn't shut off the power lines which may have sparked the fires. the fire hydrants ran dry, leaving firefighters no ability to fight back the outside sirens. that could have warned what was coming. never sounded. now the president, seeing for himself what the missteps meant, the horrible cost and the hor, left behind. patty calling out to 0. the losses have been great for so many and le . hi not. one resident told us about the moment that they lost their homes. it was a, when do you do? there was the wind coming from the hurricane. and so we had lost power. so we were home all day, my cells, my brother and my grandpa, but we no one knew how close the fire was to our home because the wind was blowing the smoke everywhere. so by the time we had left, i mean we are, our neighbor's house is on fire and that was our indication as to how close things

were. so it was a matter of minutes that we had to just get in the car and get out as fast as we could. la high now is known worldwide as a tourist destination, but for the residents, families that come from this town, we know that it's the 1st capital of the why and kingdom and the home to so much history. and so many stake replaced as to where people. so seeing everything destroyed in the matter in a matter of hours, um it's, it doesn't get easier to look at all of the devastation knowing what we've lost. and i hope that when do start to allocate those federal funds that they can come back to our community that we can build, be the ones to rebuild that, but also benefit from the jobs that is going to create and the money that it will provide. all right, it's time for a short break. still ahead on al jazeera, we'll hear how much bell buddy donald trump will have to pay with. he surrenders to

the punch use among the audience. we have a, a see minute or friends whom about the reviews, the local trolling line night in 2017. and we kept also this apart from the 62 percent of liquids audience. so this is not a surprise if these, these a fact that, that the big one or is waiting to see reviews always embeds and presented by universities. and how significant is this going to be from an environmental point of view, not just domestically also internationally, either nationally is the 1st time that a noise parking country is half of the sea show it to keep on and the round poster transitions the words by the bears to conservation and the sustainable to go to these,

of those things that maybe we can think different a board. i certainly be optimist. that the common things that we have will go further instead of the points that maybe we can have as a difference as part of a bellows appeal. political analysts say is that many of the country see him is a political centrist, who was placed the fight against corruption at the top of his presidential agenda. once in office, the, in the wake of the national election, many guatemalans say they feel confident that i'm out of the bellows. leadership will bring about much needed change for some experts. however, that feeling is more sense of cautious. optimism though the election may be over, some argue that sort of find the results could become complicated by legal objections from any of those opponents. according to political column is catalina,

is go by. the government of guatemala, as president elect could be undermined by the attorney general's office, which has made repeated attempts to suspend the bellows to meet a party over allegations of fraud. if a system, this system that has been used has allowed certain actors to gain a lot of power and use the law shamelessly to go after individuals who have no responsibility and criminal act. it is used to target people politically. because in this country, persecutions are political, those because any knowledge legal experts in guatemala say that arrest could be made against members of either of those same media parties. and many expect there will be continued actions that seek to prevent a table from being sworn in next january. when was it up a little al jazeera, guatemala city, the the newly crowned women's world cup champion, spain and thousands of fans. the celebrated the title of madrid,
