unconstitutional. are joining me now from edinburgh scotland is journalist andrew marshall who has written widely on the type politics and the a monarchy a good evening sir the thai king has called the princess is moved to run for prime minister as a quote unconstitutional and inappropriate he's basically shutting down her candidacy. yes it's been a day of extraordinary drama and this was at least reversal at the end of the day so this morning we thought that being a grand bargain thailand's critical stroke were killed in a brutal deal between the yellow factions in the red factions which had been fighting each other for nearly fifteen years now it was a very controversial move because shoojit interests ownership dry and highland but as you say the king came out of the ceiling with the statement essentially shutting it down and thailand as we know and looting knows we were going next elections are

too large twenty four it's not clear how we can proceed and the king is due to be crowned in me his correlations been through into confusion as well so it's been story reading and talking about extraordinary i understand that you actually predicted at the princess's move now less than two months before the elections a ballot that should have basically taken place back in and twenty fifteen are we back to square one. even a little bit of blue square one moment because it's just not clear what can happen next i did hear in you several days ago that the princess would approve religious candidacy and it seemed like a very interesting development that would really change by politics now that the party that proposed her it's not clear who they will run or is not yet even still be allowed to run the palace has intervened dramatically in thai politics and it's really a sign that the time what it is is divided amongst themselves as if the king didn't

didn't know his sister was good to clear a candidacy or you wrote it and then shut it down three publicly inspiration ties that the posts are in chaos and the title it's harder to last so there's no clear what will happen next how is this going down all of these developments how have they gone down with the people of thailand. well the news of the purposeful deals and the biggest bombshell was until. there was huge interest in social media times reported by digital. conflict others thought the palace was intervening in thai politics to berkeley and the filters used for democracy so there was a huge interest a lot of divided opinions about it well after the announcement by the king's evening everybody's really in shock and there's uncertain about what's to do next. thank you so very much andrew a marshall joining us from edinburgh scotland. thank you. now

back a time to talk movies again the bell and oliver windsor international film festival is well underway four hundred films are being screened over the next ten days and our very own pill is down at their red carpet charlotte good to see you what's happening. yes you're right the competition really is well underway there are seventeen films here competing for the bad top prize that coveted golden bath three of those films a primary and today we've had two well premiers already another one is coming up this evening and i think it's best to say that the ballad not a really did have something to prove going into today and that is because the opening film yesterday could absolutely panned by the critics a lot of them saying wow is this going to be setting the tone for the festival as a whole so they really did try and come back strong today the first film this morning was a german film without a film going on that's being screened behind us now and then later on this evening

we've got a chinese film set that really is buried as attempts to show what it's about to tell us oh charlotte about the grip of god that controversial film that has its world premiere right now. yeah that was a really difficult film that told the story of young boys who was sexually assaulted over decades by a catholic priest in france it details a group of those boys who came together as adults to try and expose that allegations and also to break the silence of the catholic church now what's really interesting about this go is not actually this group actually did exist in france there are also legal cases that are going on at the moment one actually started this month again some as a character is involved in the film the priest and the cardinal so for that reason

this been says that a bit difficult legally for the direction of this film whether or not even allowed to show because of course the men involved who the allegations are against are innocent until proven guilty but it's very challenging to film it's a very gripping film very well told as by the legendary french diaries of hans want to use a big name not just internationally but here the balance as well he's been a judge here is that many films screened here say it was a really exciting moment when he took to the red carpet he was coming home to the balance. what else happened today charlotte we had that german film this morning that was directed by a female director not really is one of the big talking points of the festival this year that the number of female directors in competition seven out of the seventeen films competing for that golden bough are directed by the other film that's about to screen later on this evening is a china is a set in mongolia it's directed by
