[000:00:00;00] a great time, one, mary, many a line dw channel, your guy with recognizes where exactly it was fun. i've learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit with this is the dublin years, a shark coming up to date, a demand for change and free and fair elections. opposition protesters in bunger. they are stepping up the pressure on the government to resign. they say shake casinos administration ease to corrupt and on democratic to continue do they have

a point and left in limbo off to escaping of was own thousands of indian students in ukraine escaped the dangers of war to find themselves facing uncertainty over their future. correspondent reports ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. bundle dish has seen months of antique up and protests that culminated in a huge riley in the capital taca over the weekend. the main opposition party is demanding prime minister, shake casino, step down. so a caretaker government can take over and then organize free and fair elections. the ongoing economic crises brought on by the corona virus pandemic,

and the ukraine war is further adding fuel to the protest. fire o growing political tensions in bangladesh spark massive protests on the streets of the capital deca demonstrations are taking place after prime minister shake has ina as intensified to crack down against her opponents. did the opposition, bangladesh. nationalist party once as xena to step down and that a caretaker government told a free and fair election. my mother might have been an election under the caretaker government and the resignation of shake. asenia is all we want. her xena on her ruling, a whammy league party, which returned to power in 2018 for the 3rd consecutive time, have repeatedly ruled at the opposition's demands. they say a caretaker government goes against the spirit of the country's constitution. bangladesh has been one of asia's fastest growing economies, but an economic crisis in recent months is seen power cuts and fuel price hikes and

support for his ina authoritarian government has slipped. we've been forced to take to the streets. people can't afford food and we won't go home until democracy was restored. a b and p official claim that some 200000 people joined a rally at the weekend. a figure the government says is exaggerated. ah, basically, i don't support any political party. i was unable to cast my boat and neither of the 2 previous national elections, not even in union or sub district elections. i couldn't participate as a boater. we want to break free from the current situation of the country. i know i'm a victim of oppression, but i could not express this to anyone. i came here to day to protest against those responsible for my current situation. with her, as the crackdown widens,

thousands of opposition activists have been arrested among those arrested shotuko, a rama. amier of the country's largest islam, his party police had not specified on what specific charges he was detained, but they accused the opposition of inciting violence a vote as scheduled for next year. but the opposition accuses has he no rigging to pass to general elections? is a genuine election under ha, xena is impossible and jeremy knows more on this is did up the issues of islam of welcome before this latest riley, 15 embassies in bungler. they should recall for fair elections. why they basically want an electro alert post says that should be free, fair in groups and inclusive so that in buses they have a called up and government to ensure that the opposition parties can get a space to conduct their photos to their rally and peaceful lesson billy,

so there have been discussion in biology for yours that there is a lacking office space for opposition parties and freedom of expression is under ideal and also human ex, decisions are decreasing. so, altogether, dis, embassies, we have seen that recently, they had a very active on talking on these issues, especially on electoral process. does that mean that the opposition bundle, the nationalist party does have a point when it's protesting? is you see, i mean in the, at the moment in mileage that is this crisis that is a power crisis that has been going on for months and also at the same price of s h, l goods are increasing as a dollar crisis. so altogether, there is some kind of dissatisfaction among other people and also the opposition party. they are saying that the government needs to be changed to, to improve the situation. and many people, apart from this opposition activists that taken part in this rallies. so it is

about price phrases are not so much about the free and fair electron. what is it? but i mean, both are connected. there is this feeling that last 2 elections in one of the 2 are not yet filled all inclusive because in 22014, the election was conducted under the ruling party and most of the opposition parties, boy quoted it. and then in 2018 there was another election, and it was like very controversial saying that abort reeked a were off of the ruling party. so even the police are accused of ballot stuff in favor of the ruling party. so there is this thing that many people think that the government needs to change under 30 at fred nixon to get a better situation. invalid is the thing that corruption is rising. so it has to be, i mean the government has to be accountable for what is happening in the country. but is there any truth to all of these allegations? i mean, does this explain why prime minister, because he now has been able to hold on to power for so long?

i mean, we have a thing many indications like there is, as i said, disappear, freedom situation is declining. also human execution is declining. there are reports of like opposition activates have been killed in the name of crossfire. so i mean a has been doing it and they have denied that environment. but the other reports are saying that the oppositions are under kind of, i mean it where they are not able to express ourselves freely. and also when you were talking about finances issues that situation with the different picture like i am, i was there, they evaluated a foreign user of bangladesh and they have to look at it, which was like 7000000000 dollars less than the government claimed. and then the government is saying, well, i am if is right and we have like, that is like sort of the thing. so there is lack of information and people and they think that government is not showing the true picture of the country at the moment . so what does this mean, or is one expecting more opposition?

rallies more protests against the government in the coming months? i mean, the next election is that it will take place at the end of next year or the beginning of 2024. so the early is that more protest is expected because the opposite party is they want to free trade and inclusive election. so do the foreign invoices. they're also saying the similar thing, but there is no indication from the government side of doing any kind of electoral reform. at the moment, or 2, at least, i mean, feared a kind of free or trust on the election process. because there is this lack of trust very much. we can see it there from the opposition parties, from ordinary photos, and also from the foreign embassies. what to the opposition parties want of so that a free and fair election can take place, yet they want to really to do the caretaker government system. in bunger this ad there was the system introduced in 1996. but this system was like, on

a elected government, finishes its fibers storm. there is another non political or non partisan category . government consisted by like civil society present to give, take the duty of running the country for 3 months and conduct a free field and inclusive election. and this system worked well in by this in 22001. and then in 2006. so sorry, it was started in 1996 and then 20012008. all 3 elections were seen as if you had an inclusive by domestic observers, as well as international observers. and all 3 elections have been taken place under categor government system right now to leave with her for the time being. but thanks so much for coming in and break that down for us. are going to some thank aah! as war broke out in ukraine,
