a cool. in 2014. it isn't clear yet when the court will deliver it judgement. deputy prime minister private along silvan has taken over as leader of thailand in 10 am a. he's known to be part of the same circle of military officers involved in the 2014 cool. the pry you john, or child lead protest as in bangkok, voiced their disapproval of the temporary change of duties at the top, and demanded an overhaul of the entire political leadership. i live in the week, they marched towards the government quarter in the city with their demands. maybe what i, we're not happy among young. i don't know. pry, you don't power from a woman and became prime minister in a cool. and i don't that done. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. film. and he wasn't even elected in the 1st place. thing that i looked at in the unclean. he stayed for a long time and had no vision for the country with an anna room prelude to

suspended. but probably just taking his place, then they're both times got what i am unhappy. he's gone to some extent. but i think the whole cabinet should have left with him by the ha, curb. ha, ha, thank on my zach and gentlemen of him on this is tired, political and liz john garrison, but one to re, to dear. it's good to have you on the show after a long time now for you to john or char has stepped down temporarily. but with paula going to his deputy private wong salon. is that really much of a change? yes or no? yes, because for you, it symbolizes me military dictatorship in china. so we shouldn't forget that. he seized power back in 2014. so the fact that now he stops working, he says suspended at least for a month. that is a symbolic change,

i think. but it's no in the sense that you would ease a face of the regime and we're talking about the read you read through it and it works. and so read is definitely someone who east the foundation of the regime. and definitely he pressing for you. it is not the end of the regime. so we had some protest her in bank or co op search with sir the leadership of the country. how popular is playing, channel tra, among the people. not at all. i mean, he still has his own the car. this ankle, pre, he would fans in thailand, right. which is like a fringe of kind of phenomenon in thailand, but in general, he is very, very unpopular. and the most interesting part is that he is extremely and pop not un be in. he's on a cabinet within his own party,

intact. so, and i think she shall be, it will not definitely impact the dominance of the military inside politics. we live at the and for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us today and just about consider you're most welcome ah south and central issue have been drenched by unusually heavy monsoon brains, which have triggered massive floods across the region in pakistan. they have effected more than 30000000 people and killed close to a 1000 this past month. west. it has been the southern sin, the province, including here in the city of hybrid above pakistan. a climate change minister is calling at court. a climate induced humanitarian disaster. authorities are appending for international health with relief efforts.
