i just mean a bell. my g decision is right to enact to this. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. as a reminder of our top story today, ukraine has issued an ad right in less across the entire country, opposite russia, and carried out expensive nighttime drone and ms fall strikes. the pregnant officials say at least 5 people were injured of the night in strikes of teeth and in odessa food warehouse was reduced without you're up to date use agent with ben. so susan is up next with a look ahead to next weekend selections. in thailand. the brain update because this orchestra called the brain

continuously adapts itself. and so we ask a few, a few questions. we can control our thoughts, which makes us very power. kind of like a superpower. questions about life, the universe? our series, 42. almost every thing. this week on the w, the, this is the w and use asia coming up today. could they cause cancer? be instant noodles still on the menu in indonesia, despite health warnings. how breen, a type politics, a whole raft of environmental was failed to sway those was all the main parties in the race for office and checking in to check out

accommodating the big crowds of pilgrims coming to one of the of holy cities to dial the bank visible and welcome. what makes into these special chicken noodles so special? could it be the excellent oxide? small amounts of the gas i use to sterilize spices in food production. too much can be cost and the genic prices were found in the noodles. but there's nothing to worry about according to create as end of food switch exports to other nike contracts, or a cheapened tasty staple for hungry indonesians and domino instant noodles. despite reports of possible carcinogens and the popular brand, it's still widely available at supermarkets and local street food joints where

customers are taking their chances. it's actually terrifying. and i hope that reports aren't true, because many indonesians are in the me, lovers. so i hope it isn't true. i think i'll on, on, i limited my children's consumption of and to me to once or twice a week. and it's always been like that in spite of reports about carson engine contamination that we will still eat and domain because those reports bubbled up in late april random inspections. in taiwan and leader malaysia detected at the lean oxide in some packets of 2 in domain noodle flavors, including the wildly popular special check in exposure to lean oxide can lead to cancer, the manufacturer in the food issue, the following statement. the company continuously ensures that all of its products are in compliance with the applicable food safety regulations and guidelines and indonesia are in to me. instant noodles are safe for consumption and don't use as

food monitoring agency agrees with the company saying that locally available noodles are safe to eat, even after it to found traces of ethylene oxide in in domain noodles. indonesian activists have longer to used in the foods of using harmful ingredients . they're urging the government to investigate further. but eating and domain noodles is a hard habit to break even if possibly hazardous visiting the thing. absolutely. and so basically what playing russian roulette without food, we don't know which ones have cost. no genic substances. if we can help carcinogenic substances, a body will produce some sort of symptoms. but really keep on eating a risk. many indonesians appear willing to stomach for the foreseeable future.

let's go to chicago now and dw correspondent rebecca. nothing tuvell. rebecca, a lot of people around the world, the these noodles, a lot of people in indonesia to what about you? yes i do enjoy in the me, it's that we have this in our office. we enjoy it. it's something that we usually have for lunch and dinner whenever we're we don't know what to consume business hard go to. it's obviously something yukon avoid. when you go to a street mortgage, all go out to wait, but there's not really a way around it is what i'm getting at. but um, are you going to keep bidding them on? i mean, after hearing these reports yes, that's a question that's also being shared with other innovation, of course, because this raise another health concerns from the public, whether we should keep on consuming this or not. the one that's being banned in

countries like taiwan and malaysia is the special check can flavor. but of course we also have a question of whether we should consume other flavor or not. and we're still waiting whether the fluid and the drug agency here in asia. we'll do another testing for other flavors as well, but it's interesting that they being bends in some way like type one, but not in indonesia. it does that suggest that health safety standards, a lower and innovation unfortunately, but if we have to admit that indonesia has a lower standard when it comes to food safety, like you mentioned, tie one pro prohibits the presence of actually an oxide in all of their food products well here in indonesia, the food and drop monitoring agency confirm that the insect noodle that contained

the athlete oxide but still in a safety level the chicken flavor contain 0.34 parts per 1000000. where the standards that being health for the food products manufacturer in indonesia is $85.00 parts per 1000000 of athlete oxides. so yeah, this also risk a concern whether we have to keep this or we have to recalculate the standards that being implemented in the country. okay. so rebecca, well, people talk about this possibly a bowl of noodles. what are activists chances of actually seeing more concrete measures taken in indonesia when it comes to these noodles and food safety and, and, you know, concerns for the public yes, this is not the for it's time where the innovation instant noodle, being bad in other country and it's still being solved and enjoyed in the country in indonesia itself. actually one of the members from the house of representatives

quoted me. i seem with the file at the request, it be a foot agency to do a regular testing. not only for one brand or one flavor, but throughout all the different kind of friends and flavors to make sure that the public could enjoy this instant noodle safely. and also this being supported by health active as well so that we can make sure that what we know what we can shoot, and we can confirm it in a safety and healthier way as well. and i think it's great to get your take on that story, dw, correspond to rebecca and not be too full little for us in jakarta. early voting started in thailand on the weekend, the head of a general election next sunday. there were long queues more than 2000000 times registered to concert ballots. early the election on may 14th,

it's shaping up to be a tight baffled between establishment policies, backed by the pound for me and our research adult position. the political challenges in thailand run deep added snow different with the environment. the country has to contend with extreme heat, rising sea levels and re quote, pollution. but green issues don't seem to resonate with folks. it's thailand. skies are choked with smoke and smoke from forest fires and seasonal crop burning. air pollution in some cities has reached record highs. funds such, you know, i am founder of thailand's green party, says voters, understand what's at stake. but they're still not likely to vote for him getting hit the recurring issues, a pretty big likes to find positive pollution hot spots and heat waves when people acknowledge those problems. but they still don't believe that the political process could fix them. walk up and down. it's like type people don't trust

a politician law, no matter what policy that from no problem. we want to make up that according to thailand's health department, more than 2000000 people have required medical treatment this year due to air pollution. but some say the establishment is largely ignoring the public health crisis to pass on able to, i don't think political policies have enough policies on the environment that you want me to be certain. my where i lived for a year has a lot of pollution and the government hasn't sold a lot, but the winter of this selection could do something about pollution. put back on idle funds. so tonight in says that's the greens go to be a voice for change in a crowded political landscape for the place. but only the aiming for the prime minister position will be there to sol environmental problems. but most

voters are focused on the power struggle at the top 2 opposition parties trying to unseat the government with its ties to the military and royal family. the green platform is a side show. yes, the pollution issue is quite a big thing. and in the global scale, but i think the, the most important part of the problem in thailand is not only the pollution in my opinion, i think the most serious problem is the system type government and how they organize. then the recent polls agree the most popular parties aren't the ones making the environment of priority. while the greens are lagging far behind. but whoever wins can't ignore the small in field skies forever. to india now, where every year pilgrims slope to the city of barnowski to die. the 100 faithful

believe to become a 3rd in the holy city is a pathway to salvation. but all those visit is made some way to stay before the final journey has come here to day 200, a nasty one of the holy cities for he lives in india. or how, how does the, how do i don't know that there's any way dirtier reading or that and we, we, these are a guest lecture. so read pro to that to we're going to die here. just 3 and his wife live in. look, she's having a residence, doubling as a retirement home, and a hospice. they are here to break the cycle of life and it essentially believe among handles facilities like these offered a life of study and prayer and can be found on over about announcing the, the month. so i'm,

he's on the demand is still quite high and more and more people want to come and stand barnowski. so the demand is very high, it gets a little bit. but we can only accommodate a limited number of people that can then cuz we have limited space to the player. so we can only accept people based on the space available. i was thinking as obviously on the list to help those who are accepted have to cut dice to den regular life and start afresh. for some, it is a difficult choice. one of the home in my children have all grown up their marriage and have children of their own. they're busy and their own world calling, leaving number of difficult, but leaving my husband was even hot. ok. i like that's why i've come with him. we think we really must get him to see that we just have someone sees money. konica god is an ancient crematorium by the dentist. it is one of india, as

a busiest and most iconic, too many deceived, who never make it to the holy city. i brought here and created even without a place in a hospice home, into the bodies believe the dying environmental c takes them one step closer to return and salvation. the i bank as well. and thanks for joining us here on dw, you say the firm is rich, past 2, it's dynamics present. we discover the captivating music theme of camera, the join our street debates, 80 percent of coverage continues to be in choice as
