i even got white hair. to. say you want to do their story. for migrants. coming up in the program the royal. princess. into the. decades of practice why did she do it. the chinese screenwriter. many have described. the high rises. about their peak.

welcome. it's good to have you with us we begin with news that's come as a political earthquake in thailand a royal standing for elections the talking sister princess with the prime minister in the upcoming march of next this is a first in thailand where royals do not get involved in politics the announcement even more surprising considering she's standing for a party that's aligned to former prime minister. and. both. a daring political power play that fusel coming clutching the official application

papers the leader of the thai rak such a party entered the election commission with an unprecedented nominee for prime minister no one less than the thai king's oldest sister princess in ball rights. and one of the member have what was a name and the augury that this is the most important written name of god could be in doubt how did you support iraq sidetrack the augury you know. so i think that this is to be taken home country that i believe that you know this is the case that . we want to feel. more good to be a good situation right now. for princess her role status is complicated she officially renounced her title in nineteen seventy two when she married an american despite a divorce in one hundred ninety eight who formal title was never restored but she still regarded as royalty by the thai people. the princess is better known for his

showbusiness career than her interest in politics she's been a singer an actor and a talk show host but how will the real candidate fare in the rough and tumble of an election he's about it are we have a plan for the campaign we're going to go ahead to the campaign but. according to you could you get her dealing with her then i think i'd give him so on you know you have to ask it again you know if it's obvious or. friday's announcement sets up another battle between thailand's military and the powerful shinawatra denah city the political force behind the nomination. the power struggle between shinawatra is populist redshirt movement and the military backed royalist an urban elite has marred thailand with more than a decade of violence political instability and division a role candidate in the shinawatra camp could send a shockwave through those loyalties. the princess's mine opponent would be the leader of the military junta prime minister. he also announced his candidacy on

friday. so thailand effectively uncharted waters. caught up with political analysts. in bangkok. this is the first time since thailand became time situational monarchy eighty six years ago that a close member of the royal family runs for political office what do you make of that. i think that people today are still. shocked and digesting about the announcement that the princess the only elder sister of his majesty the king has joined one political party as a contender for the prime ministership this is something that we've never had before normally we've had some minor royals in politics. you know even. highness but not to this extent the sister of the reigning king at the same time she also officially technically a commoner because she has she gave up royal status in back in one thousand nine

hundred two when she married an american and yet to thai people still. with the royal kind of reference and a lot of foreigners all foreign friends call her princess nevertheless with the new king she also will be most likely elevated because you know once the new king is crowned he will become a sister of a king and she may be given the title back. so a lot of changes in store for thailand i think for politics the type politics this is a profound development because the electoral rina is different now you have. a party. that she represents now suddenly overnight it has shot up from nowhere to be a most recognized party maybe even a leading contender to win the election now can you explain what this means for

thai politics the. for type politics in the last two decades you know people have seen thailand has been stuck a lot of turmoil yellow shirts red shirts protest polarized sation and talks. to military coups one judicial coup so very unstable in thailand volatile for thai politics now. we're seeing something we've never seen before. what thailand has been searching for is a balance a balance between. a monarchy system you know a constitutional monarchy with the monarchy has at the center of thai society but also some kind of a democratic system because people want to have a voice they want to have represent representation they want to have a little system to represent them so i think that balance thailand has not found and this development today the big question for me is that. will it lead

to an opportunity a window to rebalance thai politics for that to happen what happened today has to later on be inclusive so today it's been the big game big event is for talks in the past inside right but the other side they may not be satisfied so they also have to be included somehow. political analyst also there are speaking to need of a correspondent and hearted in bangkok next to china where we encounter a familiar script a young woman lands a prestigious internship in a big company or works with an entertainment i can who then sexually assaults and she is forced to shut up well joe walsh our friend did and the twenty five year old chinese friend has spoken out saying this is what happened to her at china's state
