a scoring this we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on d w. the, this is the w news live from the lynn, a political shakeup in thailand. often nearly a decade of millet treat back bull pro democracy opposition policies when by a landslide and parliamentary elections, the leader of the biggest grouping says he is ready to become prime minister box. the reform is still face big obstacles. also coming up tuck,

he looks to be headed for a run off and it's presidential election. there's no clear when a which is a much from sundays, nailed by to vote. both opposition candidate come all calista role and incumbent president add one a telling supports us to expect. a 2nd round and ukraine's president meets with the british prime minister little demand zalinski and rashid cole talks in the english countryside. the manuscript mckinnon. welcome to the program, titans pro democracy opposition has achieved a standing victory and parliamentary elections to reformist groups the move forward and to tie policies captured well over hoff the popular vote. now this is seen as

a strong rebuke to the military government, which 1st came to pilot and a crew and 2014 greeted by twos of prime, minnesota. the pizza, named dining room, boston his election when was elated, supporting the victory of the progressive opposition need to his sent shock waves through thailand's political establishment and could bring the 10 years of minute feedback to me to an end the head of the me, fluid party is confident and his mandate the sentiment up there has change. and it's right. it was the right timing that people have been through enough of last decade in the past decade and today is a new day and hopefully it's full of bright sunshine of hope going forward. new

fluids, closer to the young liberals and welcome the promise of change. i also feel that it carries a new meal and will bring about even more changes. and i hope that there will be good things happening in thailand. have been look okay, you need to apply the to, to move forward policy for the matter of a quarter to 2 bill because it has to pass on other policies. i think the very straightforward, clear, and for your mind that being able to execute the most of i'm throw money, not man, because i have the thing i need but forming a coalition government might not be easy me for it has very ambitious ghost over the whole the political system on the economy, they want to challenge the conservative rows of the money key and the military and ties society in general roch's looking to partner up with 5 of the cardinal position parties including gone,

is up to tie headed by the daughter of the former prime minister tax and she knew what truck they campaigned with more traditional populous messages. even if a coalition is formed, it might not be easy to replace the incumbent government. the prime minister will officially be selected in july and evoked by the lo house of parliament and the 250 states senate. the senators were put in place by the current leadership, and so will likely vote to protect their interests. this could scott, to move fluids chose to form a progressive government. all right, let's cross straight to ben, call and speak to a asia pacific bureau chief georg mazda is gail. can you tell us more about these coalition talks that need to happen now? how, how long is it likely to take to form a new government?

it's really hard to say, but probably it's going to take weeks, a lot of horse trading here in thailand. expected i follow the press conferences of the to a front runners and this electoral race. and uh, the good news for their supporters at least is that both have indicated beauty. that is and move forward that they do want to work together. move forward has invited 5 parties to join talks among them to type your di has accepted a that they will talk to the move forward. so these are positive signs. but when it comes to the, the knots and build through the details, it will get a lot more tricky because move forward has quite some radical ideas to overhaul the constitution. for instance, when it comes to the royal defamation laws, for instance, the question is to what extent will they be amended to what extent our coalition partners are going to carry the, the ideas that move forward. spence, for a long now,

it's not only the $500.00 members of parliament that are going to be negotiating and choosing a new prime minister is that these are these $0.25 is appointed by the military. that will also pos of the process. can you explain to us what difference these 250 sent it says make of all they make a huge difference. because if you look at the last election in 2019, i brought you to an our job did not windows by numbers, but it was pure tyler but made a position party that one those elections. but they couldn't form a coalition and they didn't get the 250 volts of the military pointed non elected senator spot. those volts funds directly to prior. john, i'll try and that is why even this time around. he could potentially are technically a still stay in the seat of power become prime minister because he only needs for coalition partners. if he gets those 250 volts. now the move forward party has reached out to the senators already and said, look, we will one some of your votes,

because if you do the numbers and you look at the 5 parties state, the new forward is now doing collision talks risk. they will get 90309 seats, but what they need, it's 375 seats. and that means they will have to convince some of those senators to vote in favor of this new progressive party. and what about the role? but the ami plays, i mean, how concerned the people in thailand the army could try to again, interest here in the democratic process. well, the chief of the army has already said they will state and stay out of it. so at least for now there is no military. oh, cool. on the cards at this point, although people here industries have told me, you know, never read it out, but that is not the expectation. now the turn out for this election is the highest on record. the entire history of people have huge expectations for a coalition to form and also want us to point out that's a party of the car. and prime minister pro, you turn auto headset,

you will leave the collision talks to the front runners in this race. and uh, they will wait and see what they come up with. so everybody at the moment is looking at those quotes and talks that are you have to come get matters in bangkok quite so much for the update are now results in turkey's presidential election race show that it's a very tight race and is also very likely headed for a ramos, with counseling, nearly complete both state media and the pro position. and can you site say that president red chip type ad one has received just above 49 percent of the vote? his rival calculus, the road who is trailing with 45 point one percent. now if neither candidates wins more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff will be held in 2 weeks. now calisto valley was hoping to harness public

and economic conditions and a bush to us, quite response as the president add one. this would be the worst 1st round result ever. they came expecting a victory speech, but unlike in his previous presidential elections, red chip type of i couldn't claim the 1st round waiting for his waiting supporters while placing hope a non counted pilots took he didn't come at lita accepted, he may face a run of the service delegated, if the nation has made its choice in favor of the 2nd round of the election. and that is also welcome to us because we believe that we'll finish this round world on with over 50 percent of the vote. james, the you know, to use the claim, his party had won a majority and sundays concurrent parliamentary elections and said voters wanted

stability in the presidential office was his main rival come out of college. deborah lew also said he was ready for another vote in 2 weeks. to me, let me see if all a nation says 2nd round, we gladly accepted, we will be absolutely witness selection. in the 2nd round, everyone will see that each w earlier blamed the ruling policy of delaying results by demanding recounts his supporters seer the votes for the 3rd place to candidates would now float out of the into the case. it goes to the 2nd round them. so that add on with when i think you will get so, you know, once votes got back down to the expectations that really low, i think we can winning the 2nd wrong. but i'm really scared of what can happen in the next 2 weeks. and for me, this is a really scary time periods could be added on. so it is a confidence the incumbent will trial sooner or later. and extend these nearly 2

decades in power show god willing will win even if that's a smaller truck, i believe. well, with this, with the election on results and results close to the unexpected turkeys political climate is likely to stay fired out. all right, let's bring in all taking correspondent dory and jones who followed the election for us in this done bull door in such a tight race. when can we expect to know more of the? well i think that the touch fees hire an actual board which administers the vote said that people but completed the accounting the just so the 99 percent and it's concerning. the 3rd one is on just over 49 percent and these challenges come up close to low is trading full points behind just over $45.00. now there's still the overseas folks to be counted and usually they do favor president of one. but um,

it's unlikely that there's gonna be enough face to carry him over and give him an absolute majority of 50 plus one. on the opposition side, there's a lot of anger there. they say that a lot of votes say say, well, on this saturday chinese, they claim you as many as 3 and a half 1000000 folks still have to be counted. they say those votes was set aside until the claims of ven validated one way or another that will take some time. but even the 3 and a half 1000000. so folks would not be enough to carry clicks to lo will over and giving him an absolute majority. and that's why both leaders are now saying they're preparing themselves for a 2nd round vote in 2 weeks time. and is, but any, in the case, an indication which of the 2 main candidates would benefit move from a rental selection as well. i think it suddenly appears to be benefiting the one you have to realize in the run up to this election. police total was very much the front runner, according to many opinion impulse,

i'm indicating these should achieve an epidemic majority on the day that didn't appear to be the case and the other one's a score 49 percent is seen as a big surprise. and the date was treated with great joy among his supporters. and i think also crucially for old one. also he said to his policy, along with his co edition top, no, the national action party all set to to cure a comfortable majority in parliament. and that's going to be crucial for ode one going forward. he already set this in his speech on sunday night to touch these people will vote for stability. they will folks for candidates in the presidential 2nd round control. so paula month, i'm full of clothes to own. this is his biggest problem. he has to come pain and persuade voters that they should have liked the person that doesn't control parliament. this would lead to the concerns of gridlock on on, on top of tax for police to own. he will test a problem and see the folks of sitting on on. he secured around 5 percent in the 1st round. he now drops out and he's supportive all seem to be lower to be

sympathetic. multiples of one. so can i strongly really has a major mountain to climb. on top of that, he has his pulled coalition with 6 politics is already starting, growing the criminal nations of what they see is what went wrong. people so faces a problem now of keeping this combination together, keeping them united and then facing a leg trip, which is expected to be extremely reluctant to support police tools. given the fact he doesn't control on the w story engines reporting from his temple. thank you. so much i've seen a guy as a tuck. you reset your at the german institute for international and security affairs and joins us now. welcome to z w. can you tell us what went wrong for the opposition leader came out of collection of writing? or um, thank you for having the game, sickle cell or run a quite an inclusive non confrontational and calm campaign. but,

and the result is showing us that the societies quite polarized. and it looks like judging by the and the high will chose on president i don't, although it's and into sections like to know what we're down hockey usually get caught in the previous elections. but it looks like and the fact that the incumbent government sits on a massive range of resources, i think, in vogue to the benefit office to add on and to the disadvantage of the coach that older and of course ad drop election campaign a bit. and that's a significant deployment of nation and listed culture list, think i'm going to to 6 drops by the ruling alliance and which seemed to have and again, plates to the advantage of mr. i know i'm in the polarized society. so is the message that we should be taking from this is the president out of one is basically invincible. that is a good question. now. it shows that to use. and although he's joining the alliance

has, in my opinion, has never been in this fridge aisle. but given that the country in it is developing in multiple crises, the electorate seems to have chosen for basic to continue to whether that means that means that as long as inevitable or not, i think that's a completely different question. but yes, the population seems to have chosen for at least to kind of like keep the keep from crisis less then it comes to the end and the government change. so you, you talk about continuity. i wanted to ask you to help us understand who it was, who voted to add one. you know, is this a, a young versus old voters situation or religious bus is set to up in versus rural. who does this theme of continuity? covet one of those groups um, when you look at the map you see that image of the implant and that's all. yeah.

has an overwhelmingly voted for mr. avalon and is it the old over here? i should emphasize that the bull chairs of the a g. p and has declined significant a decline in that range. acceptance use of this in our range between 8 to 5 percent . but overall, i think it's fair to say that and the other one was payment mostly in, in the, in the a unlike the high want shares of the position on the cost or city isn't in detroit, this area. so that's kind of like in terms of the demographics, and although we do not have at the moment, hard data in terms of the voltage will deformed all voltage, both to point but the know from them and the previous fix that, that is a significant and frustration em, all of the younger voters with the current government, it's because of the economy, the crisis, the because of the equities in the country. it because of the level of the future due to the governance and young waters. probably high are highly likely the

tide would like not to hold for avalon, but chose either go and come. i could settle or you know, no one. alright, thank you so much for your time. seen him of the who's with the job and institute for international and security. it says thank you for being with us here and hang up on me. ok, now we're going to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today. at least 6 people have been killed and hundreds injured off dislike, learn much of basso to the coasts of bangladesh. and the in the refugee comes in bangladesh is cox's bizarre, which is home to more than $1000000.00 range of people escaped. a direct hit off of the cycle ends paused. the eastwood to 26. people have been killed in a road accident on a highway in mexico. authorities that a freight trailer collided with a vine that was carrying passengers,

including children in the countries northern states of time only pass the 2 vehicles and course via and then australia recess, a who went missing. also, being attacked by a shock over the weekend is now presumed dead that's according to police. that's off to search teams, found fragments of what appeared to be a wet suit and a surfboard. australia has the highest number of faithful shock attacks in the world of the ukrainian president load them is a lensky, is in the u. k. the lights has stopped on his well, when european tool that i'd skis visit follows a pledge by the u. k. is prime minister richie so not to provide ukraine with hundreds of ad defense missiles and long range attack drones defend of russia's invasion. savanski was greeted by soon after the check is which is the british leaders, official country retreat. it's the full european country that so lensky is visiting . in the past few days,

the ukrainian lead us seeking more age. as his military propose a low anticipated spring offensive adult patello, sacramento is the senior electra and security and development at kings college london and joins us now. good see, don't montela. can you tell us what below them is that lensky can expect from his talks with the british prime minister, she sumac. and i think what the, you know, we can expect is that the, you know, that you okay. would probably concern what has already been promised a terms of defense equipment. as you mention long ring is in itself, which have already been to the, to ukraine. and i'm sort of commitment in, you know, in the shoulder medium, i'm potentially, or for long term also for to ukraine. i think what is really interesting about the strip, you know, that the banks gets carried out also to other european capital is really to show that they have the big 4 sort of european economic countries. you notice from this

economy, countries in europe, you know, i committed to providing, you know, support to ukraine, not only the short term, but also the medium term. so as to support these. um, various pro, probably there's gonna be various condo fences. you know, i'm to show that you know, that europe is, is ready sort of in a way to also pay spot in providing support to, to your brain, which i think is a random event. at this moment, i did want to ask you about how all of this looks like as well as lensky is visiting. now, one major ally off to another in western europe with gold rushes. let him a person who is essentially a political prya subject to an arrest for it by the international criminal courts. what do you think the russian president is thinking when he sees the kind of welcome that zalinski is, is guessing here in western europe a while on the one handwriting put in his word because the, the, you know, the criminal court are in dark men. you know, create difficulties for him to move around and we know that was his case with south

africa. you know, it's not to be able to, he can go or not. whereas the is key, of course, he's received a very wide company or a sort of in, in the, went into some from western was a, but i think for, for rush at this moment, this is good things, not really worry. i think what he's really worried now is to make sure that he gets the necessary support internally and also among his key online, you know, to help him succeed in the ukraine. i'm, i'm for him now. he's a sort of a strategic partnership. i wouldn't call it on the new career lines, but uh, sort of a very significant partnership with china. it's very relevant to of and military partnership which is developing with iran, the support team i get from african country, south africa. there was also apparently evidence that egypt was gonna provide support to our, to, to russia, but this wasn't covered by the americans and then the 800 to the stop. so i think 14 is now focusing on,

on those spots of the ones that can be providing the problematic political military . i'm an old story for and i'll make support. uh, you know, in terms of markets for, for russia. so i think this is not really worth what for him at the moment, but certainly you know, from the same point of view of prestige. you know, it's not something that floating, you know, is very happy about. if we can just spend a moment talking about what's actually happening in ukraine, but the rest of military appears to have successfully hits a major ukrainian weapons, death over the weekend. how much of a set back might that be? so ukraine's plans for a spring offensive. yeah, well it is not clear, but it seems, you know, there are different views about whether it was a amunition, dreadful. but if we assume that it was uh which i cannot confirm. uh, you know, i mean, this may indicate to the area, you know, that, uh, you know, that the russians have identified the locations, which is, this is where it is warring. it is expected enough, you know, was that, you know,

are there they're going to be these kinds of attacks. so i think, you know, i think while it is, it might be boring into short on the media to. this is part of the nature of that, you know, you're going to lose assets and your enemies going to find out what some of the location of your important assets saw and you have to plan accordingly. so i think he of what the, you know, what is relevant is to find out if united states really wasn't an attack on munitions step was, you know, how did the russians find out what can be done to, you know, to make sure there is no concentration of munition, in one particular place that can become an easy target and on how to use so sprayed out your, your assets on your military results. summit tell us cyber mostly from king's college on to and thanks so much for your time. thanks. all right, we've got some sports news for you, starting with jim and football and light. so she climbed back to side and the men's bundle. sleek a table off to a dramatic like the victory of

a van to blame and on sunday fronds full with christopher and cuckoo setup both to like fish gold. and the when i came with pretty much the last kick of the game. right sick once to get the most out of christopher on come through before he's likely move to chelsea this summer. the home side style man was catch pretty quiet in this match until midway through the 2nd half. but just when he thought he'd made a breakthrough, the rest of 3 had other ideas. base file in the build up meant to go with routes and things to go west of the champions league chase's 4 minutes later. some next defending allowed leonardo pick some quotes admitted give raymond leads to try and see what needs to be denied. 3 minutes before the ends, they find legal. they go through with the cross captain, the old man with

a powerful head to 11. and like said one done that and come through searching forward and setting up dominic circles. why? so the way down in this 7 minutes have been re time joy on the page. tons of moody. i mean, this stands with this kind of ability light sake will make them come through when he's gone the well. so on sunday, leave us losing stuff that is set back in the site for your pain spot as they will hell to one withdrawal by step. got now it was a match of 2 penalties. stepped out to the lead on 57 minutes through this. she keeps it by itself. you as i see. but his beloved ship was not enough as leave occlusal levelled, the result leaves foot got one point behind the relegation. play of sport was leave a cruising step. this is a great reminder about top stories. today. the head of thailand's opposition move
