a test for ty, once president and her off stance on china, comes this weekend in local elections. and why be jing will be watching close date? and in thailand, farmers doing a roaring trade in crocodile skin, say they've come up with a solution to protect the endangered siamese crocodile. but conservationists have their doubts. ah irish energy welcom, do the w news? asia dedrick join us pakistan has a new army chief. now ordinarily such an appointment is a routine feature, but not in pakistan, where the military has ruled the country for nearly half of its 75 years history. awesome money. it has been named to the top job by prime minister shabazz sharif. after several days of nail biting speculation,

that's because we need to take over at a time of increased political instability in the country. former prime minister in bron hahn is demanding early elections and blaming the military for not only having a hand in his ouster from government, but also in the liter estimation attempt on him. so what does the new appointment mean for pakistan to help us understand? i'm joined by the w, bought a bemused job in studio in ish welcome. why was this appointment proving so controversial? british pakistan military is one considered to be one of the most. it actually is the most powerful institution in the country with a huge influence in politics. so anytime the army chief has, if appointed, if a very important deficient. but this became hugely controversial dis time. because when m ran hung back on former prime minister, he was ousted on to a no confidence what this april. he directly blamed the military of colluding

with his political opponents at that time and the u. s. and offense, he was ousted, he led a very aggressive campaign against a mandatory, directly accusing them of isolating him and, and, and he, for the rent on thing that the government, the current government is not legitimate. and any appointment the current government makes of the new military chief will be controversial. let's talk about him on kind of these values are in his is proving very popular. others hundreds of thousands of people who are attending these riley's houses, putting pressure on the government. so and since he was ousted m m ran han ah, took to the streets, he bring hundreds and thousands of people in valleys. he has held really, a grossbach is done, and the israelis mean for 30th shot for big headache for the government and ideas rallies. m lan, hon. ah goals the govern government for instance, the prime minister, the indeed or minister had got upped and, and, and,

and he has been not giving any bleeding space to the government through the israelis and constantly asked for an early election. he believed that he has the political momentum, he has people support and if there, if, and early alexi and then he can win. and this is what he really wants from the government. and the government is also a, has so far not shown any flexibility, not yours or him, ron con, promising a rally in rob wouldn't been b. o. or on the same time that this announcement has been made, this new army chief has been appointed. what is it bron con trying to do with this? is he trying to challenge the army in anywhere and run high has challenged the military, like no other politician in pakistan has done so. so since he was ousted in these rallies, he accuses the military. um, buying out his members, he accuses the military of influencing the legislation,

offer of controlling the media. and, and these allegations sometimes made the military to defend themselves and to come out and, and, and give statements or to defend themselves. i think what em langham is doing. i have not seen such a dark on the military and such a powerful attack that it really the military had to come out and defend themselves . so now that we have a new army chief, or will this provide some stability or too hard to son? i think it's really difficult to fear what will happen in pakistan or anything can happen. but i did is a hope there did is a bit the appointment because im not one was consulted. and although it doesn't make him run hot, like really happy with that decision. but it seems like, for instance, am ron hahn's political party, has welcome to the fishing so,

so it seems that, ah, may be and there are reports that some members of the government have spoken to him . don hunter, a political party, some members of that. some members of his party, so maybe we hope that, you know, there is some diffusion or there some partial can diffuse. and in that inch, very busy urban issue bridge, the people stand with the military to design the military order. they answered. so pakistan, military, hosp, innovative, respectful institution in the country are all door. if you look at magazines history and more than it's 75 years of its history. military has ruled for more than 3 tickets. and even in the military got in the 7 civil and government military have meddled in our politics influencing the prime minister on important security policy is important of foreign policy decisions. despite that on it a, despite that people have respected the military, but i think em down. hm has been able to damage that image and that criticism of

the military it was resonated among people. so i think that support the military enjoyed for many years. i was damaged, finish believable, thanks so much for coming in and bring that down for us. q. taiwan president saying one has stood firm against increasing chinese aggression. but that stance faced as a test in saturday's local elections. the vote is seen as a referendum on her leadership. and that of her ruling democratic progressive party ahead of national polls in early 2024. and beijing will be watching closely from across the taiwan straits, a strong showing by opposition parties like the china friendly k m t. good influence who enters government in a little over a year. oh, the clock is ticking down to pause in taiwan and candidates are doing everything they can to win. voters over campaigning has been particularly fierce in their

capital autopay to her. i am here because i am concerned about the future. you hope everyone can see the value of democracy and suggest that everyone should go home and vote. we need to cast down fights for the person who can make the right choices from people. these elections are primarily focused on domestic issues. however, the china factor is still present in the background residents, how england and her governing party have re friend to vote as a message to china and a world that taiwan won't give vent to threats me. in case we handle facing the rise of authoritarianism, we must safeguard democracy. we must have a staunch attitude and the will to resist and defend ourselves here, the better where prepared, the smaller the danger to my economy will be. the more united we are, the stronger and safer taiwan will be here until the opposition coming down

or k m t, which traditionally favors closer ties with bay gene asked is nasty. d p for trying to re focus the election on china. it's chair mem, tote, supporters. his party, staunchly beck's tie once freedom. so with that i, that we are, the political party loves taiwan the most. our biggest goal is to defend the country all hug. wait. we just want to protect taiwan. not go to bed. oh, our most important mission is to safeguard our democracy and freedom. joe leon? oh, good leo. both party leaders have picked the candidates themselves. no exertion of their chinese culture. universities say the outcome will reflect the leaders influence on their parties. and you will likely be a bail where there for the next presidential election hang. when somebody says, if the d t p fails to meet expectations with those, i might have to take responsibility for the parties performance routing. so we can see she has been showing up at rally after rally and doing her best to canvass. she

wants, she wants to gain more votes for the candidates. she is chose more to seal a pal rule weight damage on condensing. it's unlikely the election will impact cross traits relations. but analysts such as margin way said that bay g while being watching the results closely, looking for clues as to where taiwan is had it's warmed out or lying. if the k m t makes a breakthrough changes, i think this will. he is tensions between taiwan and china to some extent in quite a sions. allen, by the chinese government, can use a k anti victory for internal publicity or what i don't, and showed that their policy toward taiwan is his practical and effective 8 height and reliable. young sir, you shall, chicago. the ladies paused, shows the race is still too close to call for 3 thoughts are expected to before early. some day. in thailand, the chance of seeing a siamese crocodile in the wild is rare, but the reptile is

a common enough sight on farms. millions are raised for their skin and meet sold locally, often to visiting tourists. now pharmacy, they have a win win solution to protect the endangered species and boost their profits. siamese crocodiles. only a 100 of the endangered species still live in the wild. on the contrast, millions of them are being raised in captivity for their skin and meet each part of their body cells. so it may seem illogical that commercial farming can actually help crocodile conservation. but government officials are increasingly convinced that both can go hand in hand. if the industry he's well regulated or yup is at home chrome, the species remains are protected. species also think the death of those allowed to be sold in august ordered by have to be from farms, kearney. i died on my deck and bought so that we can guarantee that trade on it

will be made from farms only. union. why do i get them all much i doubt, and papa, this way illegal poaching of the wild population might be reduced. crocodile farmers. welcome to support. due to a lack of tourists during the pandemic. their cells punched by 90 percent. but since cross border trade of the reptiles, products are strictly regulated. they can easily seldom abroad. they want a trade rules to be loosened, allowing easier export. in return, they promised to restore the wild crocodiles population by releasing some international parks. they say to have already released dozens since 2006. but critics say thailand needs a much more robust conservation program before more talks of trade. thanks. i said viagra or there's really a, you know, just a tremendous potential for tile. i intend to take the lead really in siamese

crocodile conservation and we're just not seeing that authority say they planned to increase the number of crocodiles in the wild to up to 200 in total in the next decade. but whether the eating of trade rules can help conservation efforts remains for now, just a proposal. and that's it for this week. this more updates from the region on our website. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter back again next week at the same time with can make you happy with truly design my daughter. if a way she has set a new trend in my gerry on a focusing on religious design that
