11:02 am
a big day in type politics which had of the full not prime minister tax and should've was focused through what happens a very big day. and i think a day that many people, so they would actually never see for 20 years, mister tanks and his loomed lodge of a type public so far as it takes for 15 of those years. he's been outside the country today. he came back in about 9 30 in the morning local time. it appeared very briefly in front of the media. the full being the hospital hurried back inside the ample terminal by the police. we understand, he was then taken to the police club swiftly onto the supreme court way. he was read out the challenges for which he was sentenced to 10 years. he was told he would only have to say 8 years in prison because 2 of those terms were wrong concurrently. and then he was taken off straight away to prison stats having that we have heard. however, in the last couple of those from the corrections board, that he is being held at least for his 1st night in the prison,
11:03 am
the hospital they say because of 5 serious health concerns. mr. texan has including high blood pressure and the very bad back. he's not able to go into the general population. well then he came out of the airport to him and he was able to stand up pretty straight and he looked pretty happy. but that might be an indication of what we're going to see in the days. possibly weeks, maybe even months to come. the perhaps the, the, the, the cold will have leniency almost the tanks. it, because of his age. he's 74 years old because of his suppose it ill health. and he may be allowed to leave early, or maybe is able to set out the rest of his time at home. but as yet the fact that he has written and below top immediately is very big news here and bank. oh, absolutely. and how significant is it tony that he's arriving back on the day the parliament is voting for the countries next? prime minister is absolutely no co
11:04 am
incidence a tool. i think we heard initially from mr. tanks and off to the elections that he wants to do written when it, when he thought that his policy puts i would, when the time elections that happened back in may. then he post fund that when it looked like the result was not going to be quite as clear as it was. now it looks like his policy put, ty, have formed a possible ruling coalition in order to do that. they've joined up with 3 punches allied to the military. something they promised they would never do before the elections. but it does give them an overwhelming blog in the lower house that we think that mr. tech's and thinks that he'll give him the leverage. he needs to stay relatively safe and possibly get him an early release here in thailand. if his policy is empowered, if potentially his candidate is in the prime minister seat, that could have a very big influence on the rest of his time. and now he serves it, but it also makes him a very important political player. once again, as i said,
11:05 am
for 20 years, he's been the boogeyman of type politics. the conservative royalist have been trying to get them off the political scene for decades. but now they have a greater problem move for the reform, this policy that actually won the election or a much scared is a threat. i missed a tax and now as the potential to become a piece keeper. now he's back in thailand. he's once again, back in the spotlight. okay. tiny chang, raise the latest that on a day of extraordinary type politics. thanks very much. tony. we'll talk soon. send a lot. is a telecoms opinion that he was elected prime minister in 2001 has put a type policy appeal to the rural pool. but his reforms challenged the power of the all me, i'm the up and elite. he was able to throw him in the military coup in 2006, and later fled into exile to avoid criminal charges, including corruption on tax evasion. his sister getting lot should've what became 5 minutes to into the as ins. 11. have critics accused of being a proxy if attacks,
11:06 am
and she too, was ousted by the ministry in 2014 taxes. a ton comes off to anti establishment policies, searched in mays, national elections as policy could be poised to return to power. private georgiana for work is a political unless and called list of household english newspaper news websites. he explains what's behind taxes when time it means the talk soon is desperate. so after a decade and a half being in exile, it really wants to return home. because here is not just another 1000000000 then. yeah, in thailand is talk since you know what the long guess subbing elect the problem. is this the pilot uninformed that is um and these are the $74.00. so the thing is, although he has just been sentenced to 8 years in prison for corruption related cases. uh once you're over the age of 17,
11:07 am
you could apply to some lenient. so you may be moved to the corrections department's run hospital or even a private hospitals in the days at and certainly he is seeking the royal pods and phones. so the tide came. he is confident that the full hours of 5 hours from now today, let's say tom is gonna say, tom, the website for all texans potty, p m candidate will become 5 minutes the elect. uh, they have crap. i deal with the whole military turn into a political party which has a lot of influence over the 10 top point to send it to us. and we'll jointly vote and just buy a camera roll process. this optimal results track since believe uh by the end of the today, uh, the new government will be elected and that will be the government runs by a party which is normally under his leadership. there was president,
11:08 am
has met the victims of wild 5 and hawaii. i'm trying to help him for as long as it takes to abide and visit to the island of maui on monday, where at least 114 people were killed. 2 weeks ago, the matter of molly says 850 others remain missing. i think he'll hang reports, us president joe barton from the air in the ground, seeing the toxic show that his left after wildfire swept through the island of maui to he lives in thousands of structures. more than 100 confirmed dead. more than 800 people still missing the 4 of the rapidly spreading flames still so very fresh. it was like if you pour gasoline in the line and you just, you know, leave it on fire. it was so quick. the pain of confirming the dead. this man's 16 year old brother's body just found along with his beloved dog. they were fond
11:09 am
together, hugging a, you know, he, he probably try to save a man. you know, he jump on top of him and he hugged him. biden kick. now what may see us, his greatest political strength being able to console those in need to understand their suffering. after all, he has himself lost his 1st wife in young daughter and recently his adult son. i know the feeling that as many of the people in this town, this community that hollow feeling, you having a chest, like you're being sucked into a black hole wondering why ever will ever get by this. you know, there's one thing to know, but it's quite another thing. you'd have to wait to wonder whether your family member is going to be ok. but there's also anger at the president as the death tool rose while he was on vacation. he was asked about it. his response, no comment. he stayed on vacation only stumping to celebrate the anniversary of his signature bill in wisconsin. now, in molly and not everyone is happy about it,
11:10 am
the way we get rid of the red tape, we don't need you don't come here, wait us officials and says the president was working behind the scenes, residents have much to be angry about at local officials, even board of high winds, 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 seen for himself what the missteps meant. the horrible cost and the hor, left behind. patty calling out to 0. japanese government says it will stop for leasing treated radioactive was that into the pacific ocean on thursday. you know, a nuclear watchdog says the water from the frequency of a nuclear plant is safe. that china, south korea and pacific a lot of nations are against the plan. well then a 1000000 tons of wolves. so we needed to cool the nuclear reactive and they
11:11 am
started to melt down fully enough quick. and su nami disaster 12 years ago. kind of co montgomery has more from take care. i. 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 christian monday 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, a report in july that endorsed just had planned. 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 question by fishermen
11:12 am
. 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 japanese yet. that's around $342000000.00 us dollars to alleviate any financial impact. this could have also pushing my fisherman heaters from brazil, india, china, and south africa meeting. and johanna is by for the bricks summit and considering expanding the alliance, which already accounts for 40 percent of the world's population and the course of his ged pain. but not everyone is on board with the expansion. as for me to me in a report from john as back a while, the leaders of brazil, india, china, and silver africa will attend the 15th brick summit to johannesburg in person. russian president vladimir putin will participate virtually. it follows an international criminal court warrant for the russian leaders risk related to
11:13 am

11:14 am
the world's population and their combined g d p accounts for almost a 3rd of the global economy. the summit seem is rich since africa highlighting the potential for the blog to bold relations on the continent that's increasing, he'd be coming to the stage for competition between both powers. it's also an opportunity for which members to present themselves as tentative develop in partners wisdom nations, the blog games debate to represent developing nations by increasing industrialization and infrastructure development in africa, and ultimately expanding trade and investment. being part of the quick, we had costs to a conversation with economies that are going to type the global costs. and then in august the as such as the distance between those markets an applicant product. so the association is important that we stay within it's in august and now that we are in the, the blog. it's an opportunity for us to highlight for 10 services of goods, african take pets of and find a way of getting our products and our codes and services into these at piedmont.
