the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, this is the daily news live from the live in a political shakeup in thailand. ultimately a decade is military backs, rule pro democracy opposition policies when by a landslide and parliamentary elections, the leader of the biggest grouping says he's ready to become prime minister. but

the reform is still face. big obstacles will. so coming off tuck, he is headed for a run off, and it's presidential election. no clear winner has emerged from sundays, nailed by, to vote. setting the stage for a 2 week baffled between incumbent president at one and the opposition candidates come all calisto road and ukraine's president to meet with the british prime minister. below them is lensky and richie c. not hold tools in the english countryside. the manuscripts mccain, and thanks so much for joining us. thailand's pro democracy opposition has achieved a spelling victory in parliamentary elections to reformist groups. the move forward and to ty policies. cap said, well, overhauls the popular vote is seen as

a strong rebuke to the military back government, which 1st came to power us in a cruise. in 2014 greeted by twos of prime minister, the pizza, named dining room, boston his elect, someone was elated, supporting the victory of the progressive of position. need a, has sent shock waves through thailand, political establishment and could bring the 10 years of minute feedback to me to an end the head of the move forward policy is confident and his mandate. the sentiment of the era 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. talk to you for the matter of a quarter to 2 bill because it has to pause on other policies. i think the very straightforward, clear, and for your mind that being able to execute the most of i'm throwing 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 goals to a, the whole, the political system on the economy that they want to challenge the conservative rows of the mona key and the military entire society. in general, ross is 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 text. 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 lower house of parliament and the 250 seats. senate the senators were put in place by the current leadership and so would likely vote to protect their interests. this could scott, to move fluids chose to form a progressive government. i also gave them access all at asia pacific bureau chief, how long it could take now until a new government is formed. it's really hard to say about 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 in 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 joint talks among them to type your tie has accepted a that they will talk to the move forward. so these are positive signs, but when it comes to the, the knots in bold through the details, it will get a lot more tricky because move forward has quite some radical ideas to overhauled the constitution. for instance, when it comes to the royal defamation laws, for instance, the question as to what extent will they be amended to what extent our coalition partners are going to carry the, the ideas that move forward stands 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 it that there are these $250.00 cent. it says appointed by

the military that are also part of the process. can you explain to us what difference these 250 sent it says make they make a huge difference because if you look at uh the last election in 2019, i probably would turn on the job. did not windows part numbers, but it was pure tied to it made a position party that one those electrons, but they couldn't form a gulshan and they didn't get the 250 volts of the military pointed non elected senator spot. those volts went directly to probably a general try, and that is why even this time around that 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, the, the new forward is now doing collision talks with 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 in the army plays? i mean, how concerned the people in thailand the army could try to, again, into fair in the democratic process, where 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 of 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. in 5 minutes to pro you turn off, john has said that he 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 mathis in bangkok, thanks so much for the update. as to talking now where results and the presidential election is headed for a run off with counseling, nearly complete both state media on the, on a daily news agency say president to red chip. a type out of one has received 49.5 percent of the vote is rivals come all colors to really is trailing with just below 45 percent. as neither candidate has one more than 50 percent of the vote run off will be held in 2 weeks time. now college to really was hoping to harness public and the economic conditions and the bolts to us quite response. the president added one. this would be his worst 1st round result as a okay, we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories that making use around the world today. at

least 6 people have been killed and hundreds injured off to slice loading and they'll come back to the coast of bangladesh and in the, in the refugee camps. in bangladesh is coaxes bizarre, which i home to more than 1000000 range of people escapes, a direct hit off to the site, cleanse pulse. the eastwood is $26.00. people have been killed in a road accident on a highway in mexico with our seats. that a freight trailer collided with a van carrying passengers, including children in the countries at new open state of time. out of the past, the 2 vehicles been quote, filed ukrainian president little bit zalinski has visited the u. k. the latest spelt on his will with europe, into as lensky as visit follows. a pledge by the you case, prime minister, she so not to provide ukraine with hundreds of ad defense missiles and long range attack drones to send off rushes invasion. savanski was greeted by so knock at check his let's the procession. lead is official,

concrete retreats is the full year pay in country that zalinski has visited in the past few days. ukrainian leda is seeking more aid as his military pass. a long anticipated spring offensive. yeah, i'm gonna kill us. i for most i was a senior lecturer, insecurity and development at kings college london. i asked for her assessment of what followed him is lensky will be hoping for from his talks with where she said that to see what the you know, we can expect is that the, you know, the okay, would probably concern what has already been promised. a terms of defense equipment, as you mention, loan ring is in itself, which have already been developed uh deliver 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 data gets carried out. also to have the european capitals is really to

show that the big falls that 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 idols and the medium term. so to support these. um, various pro, probably this going to be various condo fences, you know, on to show that you know, that europe is, is ready sort of in a way to also k spot in, in providing support to, to ukraine, 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 lot. i'm a person who is essentially a political prya, subject to interest for it by the international criminal courts. what do you think the russian president is thinking when he sees the kind of welcomes 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 document, 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 the way into some sort of western world. but i think for, for rush at this moment, this is, which is 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 uh, sort of a strategic partnership. i wouldn't call it on the clear 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. this'll 14 might get from african country, south africa. that was also a part of the evidence that egypt was gonna provide support to our, to, to russia. but this wasn't covered by the americans and they need

a 100 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 what we're worried him at the moment, but certainly you know, from the 2nd point of view of prestige. you know, it's not something that floating, you know, it's very happy about. if we could just spend a moment talking about what's actually happening in ukraine, but the russian military appears to have successfully, has 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 to for. but if we assume that it was, which i kind of confirm. uh, you know, i mean, this may indicate to the, you know, that, uh, you know, that the russians have identified the locations, which is,

this is what is watering. uh it is expected enough, you know, was that, you know, others are 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 off. and you have to sign a quote, any. uh, so i think here what you know, what is relevant to you is to find out if you know, if this really wasn't an attack on, i munition 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 then on how to use so sprayed out your, your assets on your military results summit to the side for most so from king's college fund. and thank you so much for your time. thanks. and here's a quick reminder of our top story is today, the head of tylenol position that move forward. policy says he is ready to become

prime minister. he's often in alliance with other opposition groups to unseat the army back leadership of prior to kennel chest attack his presidential race is headed for a rental. something neither candidates took an outright majority of position candidate commo collects to renew, is hoping to unseat incumbent friendship type at one. the run also will be held on the 28th of may without you off today, for guess a website that's the w dot com for all the latest news and analysis. and we're on social media as well. the handle you need that is at cdw. on any hoops to get in thanks so much for watching the
