welcome to the program thailand has postponed the initial results from the country's general election until friday officials gave no explanation for the delay it was the country's first election since the military just seized power five years ago unconfirmed of figures show the pro party has won the popular vote but opposition parties say it has been the election has been mobbed by irregularities. he became prime minister thanks to a coup now private channel show looks to have secured a democratic mandate for keeping the job his party which is linked to thailand's powerful military appeared set in a victory soon after partial results were released. we have we have indicated the principle is that. the party of parties said that. they are able to assemble the largest number of
12:03 pm
which should have the opportunity to try for the next government. waking up to the news this morning this man said he was happy about a continuation of power. i think the country is heading in a direction prior to his plans he will take care of the economy peace and especially corruption. but others aren't convinced that the electoral system favors the power patcher wrap party if you had expected it to do so well. i was surprised the p.p. got the most votes. by the looks of the popular votes the p.p.r. pay appears to have swayed voters in the country's poor rural north but rights groups are questioning the credibility of the election. there were report about forth by there were reports about your equality is involved cowan tabulation there were reports about intimidation of opposition party members. with
12:04 pm
criticism growing over the way to vote was carried out the political divisions that have afflicted thailand in the last decade could deepen even further so let's look a little closer this i'm joined by jenji here some but one cd she's a research associate at the german institute for global and area studies and also professor bangkok's at thomson university welcome to the let's start with this delay of the vietnam's front of these results what is behind that well i mean this is just another if you sort of electoral ereka lot of these that they experienced over the past months. the context of the election commission is that they have to make sure that the when top party wins the election and so for the past two or three months they have been a lot of creation of. even the playing field if you like
12:05 pm
and they've been bashing the opposition parties at that at the same time allowing went up to do what it was they can do to take the advantage ok so as far as you are clear in your mind that these are like your irregularities are deliberate yeah yeah ok so the given that i'm so that the the other big surprise of this is election is that. the pro military party appears to have done so well but given what you've just said nobody should be surprised no actually as the thai person i expect that and a lot of people expect that you have to understand the meaning of this election for the the elites the who into the election is seen as a way to set stay in the military rule. did to my eyes it fall popular bessie's right so they have to make sure they win the election and they have done everything to deliver that result so there is so it's not surprising at all and right now i
12:06 pm
think what's what's expected for the one time for us is how they could. organize and form the quality ssion and there's a lot of chaos out there at the moment and why do they need a coalition if they have to have their in charge of pretty much all of that believes of state. just i'm just you say as you declare they have rigged elections why not just rig and say we are everything let's get on with it yet spot on i mean the election has to pick has to be decorative as it is a free and fair election it has the look inside to look that way but it still has to deliver the result that is authentic just for the junta so they have to. actually doesn't win the parliamentary seats they only got popular votes more than
12:07 pm
the other party so right now they have over one hundred seats and they have to organize a coalition with another party but the most important part is this they have two hundred fifty handpicked senate in that pocket so altogether they only the it i live it more on top of the senate seat in order to form the government ok so that as you see it pretty much got the job got the job done and now they just need to just do the final bit if you talk about this very calmly and without emotion the idea of this election being stolen you know because you are a political scientist do do do regular times look at this and know which way it's going to go and know that it's old. just an illusion this this is emotional the whole election is very emotional for thais i mean i have to sort of suppress my anger because this is international. but but is very emotional deciding has been
12:08 pm
divided and the election is so was that the vision shows that evolution basically this is the ideological vote you have half of the country that has void that far that they can and the rest of the country has for the conservative cap if you like and of course the other half of this country feels that the election is not fair first of all but also they feel that they are defeated ted and there's no change the election thousand in the first shade ok thank you so much for your time this is especially interesting a very clear. so but don't see thank you thank you. to the united states and he said it was politically motivated witch hunts not president trump claims he has been fully vindicated after the mother reports failed to establish that he or his campaign conspired with russia so influence the twenty sixteen presidential election but democrats say some of the findings such as whether the president
12:09 pm
obstructed justice oh not so clear. clearly happy u.s. president donald trump returned to washington on sunday after the u.s. attorney general released the first summary of robert miller's report. that a. great place under. great place for. the investigation into whether trump and his aides colluded with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election campaign had become a political thriller in a letter to congress attorney general william barr said the report had not found enough evidence to prove that the trump campaign conspired with the russian government. barr also said the report could not establish that the president of structed miller's investigation. for president trump the
12:10 pm
message is clear there was no collusion with the russian there was no ups truck here and none whatsoever. and it was a complete and total exoneration. so is it all over well no not for the democrats. president is wrong this report this is not amount to a so-called total exoneration the special counsel moeller was clear that his report quote does not exonerate close quote the president. highly anticipated the news caused mixed reactions some american spoke of a turning point in trump's presidency but others remain skeptical i don't trust him to be honest. i don't want i don't trust trump or anything. and i don't trust anybody who's investigating him i think now we can you know sleep well and i think
12:11 pm
. that will of course complain and. president doesn't need to be impeached by any means while republicans consider muller's report a victory democrats say the attorney general's four page summary does not offer sufficient closure they're calling for the department of justice to release the full report expect the partisan fight over that issue now as the american public remains as divided as ever. to britain and frank sets in the country's prime minister and her cabinet are holding crunch meeting ahead of a week of important parliamentary vote on this issue so it's a maze chances of getting her withdrawal deal through a vote in parliament remote after a weekend crisis meeting at her country president sepp checkers broke up without agreement that meeting happened to me perforce to members of the capital planning to move under
12:12 pm
a new type table agreed with european leaders last week which is my house until the twelfth of april when parliament's backing for a deal or find a viable alternative. it's not than that but we join to talk to correspondent up back at mass welcome back so massive pressure on theresa may over the weekend speculations that members of her own government are trying to unseat how are things looking for her today. they're looking very very shaky i have to say even members of the conservative party that have so far been very loyal to the reason they are now openly telling had to step down and the sun as well the tabloid paper says time's up series say there is a yeah there is really a sentiment that the dr minister's days might be numbered and it's really not clear whether she will still be prime minister at the end of this week question is is that going to happen and if so who's going to support or two of her cabinet
12:13 pm
colleagues that were meant to be potential interim prime ministers have so far back to us or let's listen to what they've had to say but i think it's it's not going to change. just to the right. course from my point if you go with a very clear. one hundred percent behind the prime minister i'm working flat out of always have been to try to get support for her do you. well today's cabinet meeting will be followed by a week of parliamentary debates and a vote on the bracks budget must talk us through what we're going to see and what's going to happen this week. well what's most likely to happen are so-called indicative very soup parliamentarians effectively taking control here of house of commons and trying to vote on several alternative visions of bricks and trying to
12:14 pm
forge somehow a consensus. behind one particular version of brakes of which would be an alternative to the prime minister's version so these votes on non-binding but if parliamentarians where to unite behind an alternative break said that was of course a sound a very very strong message to reason they will most likely also put had again towards parliament so that deal is i don't knife edge and she hasn't really confirmed whether she's going to do it or not but those are the key developments that we're going to see during this week and by the end of this week we should have either to resign may's deal voted through or we should know if parliament is able to unite behind something that's not to resign may's dio get mass in london thank you. take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world president xi

12:23 pm
serbia so what is your impression of this new look team well it really does have a feel of a new look team a lot of us all know already that mats hummels drum and thomas miller axed from the squad quite recently for love sport in a fresh crop of new faces and also implemented a new system a paper to strikers last night which isn't something they they normally do and they were actually fantastic going forward they weren't quite as good in other areas of the pitch midfield needs a little bit of work and defense appears to lack a few leaders but you know it was a positive result and we're about to hear from leroy sana he spoke positively about the game last night. listen we have a few new young players really young team now because we've got lots more to learn but i think we played a really good game this river. so what do you think as we look across this year do you think by the end of it will have been proven rights to ditch the big names well i think it might be a little bit too early to call that i actually think that he's probably going to be
12:24 pm
vindicated in his decision to exclude thomas muller from the squad like i say they had a wealth of attacking options last night really fantastic going forward but like i said they were a little bit shaky at the back and i wouldn't be surprised if love actually has to make a u. turn on his decision and recall it a match formals or your own batang to shore up that defense well let's hope peace watching mccambridge the thank you. kenyan teacher from remote villages won a million dollar prize in dubai peter beattie works in a government run school that has just one computer and poor internet access judges said that despite the obstacles he'd made a huge difference to his students' lives it's a debate see who gives away most of his things to the poor was awarded the annual global teacher prize in a ceremony hosted by actor hugh jackman the winner. of the global teacher prize for two thousand and nineteen it's.
