sion for tomorrow's journalism register now and join us for this discussion. the 16th edition of d w's global media forum. the . this is the w news live from the in tech is presidential election, will be decided by a run of no clear win as much from sundays setting the stage for a 2 week battled between the red jeep type one and the position candidates come all at kennedy's donald, also on the program. you guys president that meets britain's prime minister, a lot of them is that and skin wishes to not full talks in the english countryside

. and the political shake of the thailand after nearly a decade and visit you back. true pro democracy opposition policies went by a landslide and parliamentary elections. of the reform is still faced. major obstacles, the feel. okay, welcome to the program. took his presidential race will be decided in a run of with counting nearly complete state media, i mean an adult of news agencies i present redtape type one has received 49.5 percent of the vote is rivaled. come out, clinched out who is trailing with just under 45 percent. officials half now confirmed or gone off in 2 weeks. there's no candidates has taken more than 50 percent of the vote. is the kennedy styles who had hoped to harness the public and took his di economy. and the government's bought. earthquake was funds. this is

president of the ones that was ever 1st round result. they came expecting a victory speech, but unlike his previous presidential elections, project type arrow on couldn't claim the 1st round. when for his waiting supporters . before all the ballots were even counted, turkeys incumbent president accepted. he may face of ronald, did it if the nation has made its choice in favor of the 2nd round of the election . and that is also welcome was understood that it was his main rival chemical. it's donna also said he was ready for another vote. you let to me it's all a nation says 2nd round, we gladly accepted. we will absolutely witness selection in the 2nd round. don't ever of a see that with a run of now confirmed voters must wait another 2 weeks to know who will take power

. yeah. change it song, the old countries been struggling lately in itself is a change in government which shake it for them to. that's why both candidates are problematic for me to that's why i can't say i voted with conviction that i could be sort of co job. it was obvious from the start about that this was going to go to the 2nd round and now that that's happening. so i'm surprised. we just have to wait till i'm upset. this shouldn't have been the result. even with a slight lead, the 1st round has been one of the top is test for air to on. but the run of is likely to be an uphill battle for college dotala will polls had predicted when so much they couldn't style, asked, corresponds into don't, and jones, and it's tumble. why they got it wrong to? well, i think there's only a lot of discussions behind the scenes in the color solos come cuz he's coalition

of 6 parties. it was seen as the best opportunity to alpha and compound the last 20 years. countries facing a cost of living crisis inflation, but over 40 percent, officially, some people say supple, but real, real economic pain in the country. on top of that, there was still the phone going recriminations over what the critics say was support staff response to the deadly of quaker, the issue which claimed over $50000.00 lights. this was seen by the opposition as a chance to win and to win big expectation was possibly crystal with, with when in the 1st round securing an absolute majority. that didn't happen. that one came back with a vengeance from the point of view. a narrow, the missing a winning of absolute majority seemed very much now in the front seat and the deep, deep discussions now going on within the colors to kind of way through. we go wrong and where do we go from now? right. and so they atmosphere of that after these a, these 1st results fits with we saw in our report of the country seems quite split

as well. absolutely. i mean, hate speed. the many ways that the funding factor, all the ones to decades a rule is the political polarization. node one has to use that consistently for out of his political career. think he's as fond, carefully calculating that even though talk, he's deeply divided with strong opposition and he always has that age and he's use that age again in the selection. it seems that these people supposed to see what we do, who we use a kept him in power for 2 decades. they all still looking to him to the live out, even though they all suffering. now these are these, this is the man, this is the only mind they close on so many people inside the country. and even though it are a tough time, it's police that he kind of getting delivered out of business accounting to close to. he has to persuade people who have never known and the thing the old ones will, but there is an alternative and i think that there was the atmosphere in this country. i say every piece of find the sole source,

great of shopping among opposed to us. one on the question is, can build one every piece of future these on the minds of many people. so let's, let's pick up on on that then the, what the each side has to do to get beyond the 50 percent. what are the, what is each campaign likely to focus on? what are they going to try and do to get over that line as well? i think color students come face. they really are at a loss. i don't know what they're going to do there. they have to re galvanize his supporters. he did find a very good campaign for many observers point of view. that was his real hope that was is the real um fuse. he has some across the country, but mostly on the other one, he has the key trump calls now because ultimately we have president elect choose. we also have parliamentary electric restored ones coalition predicted to secure comfortable majority. he's going to use that now he's going to say that this country needs to be run by a man who also controls parliament. otherwise, you're going to have potential political grid law and kills i'm, this is

a massive chinese now for color. so you have to persuade them elect to the didn't convince them the 1st around this time round to say that i should be president in face of parliament. that is opposed to me. it's a political mountain on many question. how is it going to be any chance of success? i hear that don't, don't, in jones, in a stumble. are you crazy and present? a lot of incidents key has that for this would be okay as part of who will when to your pin to buttons. problem is to provide you training with hundreds of ad defense, marseilles, a long range attack. drones defend off rushes invasion. mr. zaleski was greasy by 5 minutes. every soon i a check ups this official country and retreat. it's the 5th you will appear in the country and ukrainian leda, his visit, and the last few days, as he thinks more aid had. if his ministry is long anticipated spring offensive, or what some of those up as you supply the weapons already seemed to be making them bach. i asked correspondent,

knit quarterly in case i'm out rushes claim that ukraine used, excuse me, but ukraine used to but as long range storm shadow cruise missiles to attack targets in occupied the task. think we can be confident that this is true, in this case, physically, in some temporary found on the scene of the strike that's in scripts in english and other bits of that kind of a framework that expert said look, a lot like face cruise missile and certainly is a part of ukrainian turkey or by, by russian that the government that the only has not be able to hit so far. the target one of the targets that has been hit with the largest loss of life expected was the target. but basically had been used by those progresses are present on since 2014. so basically ukrainians to be looked at it for the best part of 10 years and were unable to strike that target. and i think it is a real, you know, selling that the russians just really didn't have this on their radar. didn't think that you probably would get this kind of weapons because they were even members of respond to that kind of propaganda tools. touring the sites and they also ended up

being injured. and this strikes there's a real sense that they're very now quickly learning quite habitable now and that keep writing now just has the ability to basically any target in worship, fight to ukraine. there is no way that is safe, and there's no way where the russian troops can organize the logistics in such a way that the credit is coming up from one another. how big concerns that providing you claim was such a long range weapons could lead russia to escalate its attack. so what do you here of the, i think 1st of this pretty, very few options left on the table for us to show of nuclear weapons to escalate. they already using that basically their entire aust. i'm doing those hypersonic missile as a controlled one of which was recently shut down by an americans live at patriot missile system. and they are attacking or parts of new clay, not just the areas closest to the front lines of the capital k of. we think we have hits on to do in the west, and these are targets at the rest of the claim were connected to your grains only,

but they are releasing themselves to find themselves from over the caspian sea over a 1000 kilometers away. so the idea of somehow ukraine getting me solve it and how can hit targets at a distance of 200 plus kilometers. somehow it gets to parents who will be on party . is it frankly false? false going basis? those duration where russia is able to outcome ukraine will be at the great, now getting some will high tech equipment. i'm getting intelligence that allows it to use what it really does get pretty effectively. the president is that, as he's caught at mission, is to get his hands on some west and fights a jack is getting closer to getting what he wants today there was more talk of training for you finding products in the u. k. that's not entirely new . has to be said that the u. k, that has so often plays the kind of a role the 1st country to move the 1st player to really kind of break those to booze and to send new types of weapons to grain. as was the case with the tanks, for instance, they don't have the f, 16 american jets that the ukrainians are often the best suited to the kind of

conditions that would be prevalent here in ukraine. but there was a sense that time and time again. ukraine has basically astonished everyone by just keeping to its wish list and eventually the resistance has broken down, especially given flexibility to appeal to domestic audience is in western countries and keeping cranes on the top of the agenda. the adults purchasing the phones and kind of saying no to for them is that it doesn't really work out for them in the long run. eventually they have to cave in and even if they don't get those planes which come with lots of interest scope questions. uh, they might get something else with the compensation price that's being story of this. will ukraine going in big asking for a lot and being very loud about those demands and eventually getting what it wants with some consolation prizes in, in, in the bag before it gets to kind of more complex stuff. and it's not net commit comely in case thailand's that to biggest opposition, positive begun discussions on how to replace the countries ministry dominated parliament. the pro democracy party moved forward the chief to studying victory and

elections over the weekends. it's not hoping to work with a prototype policy to replace the military back government, which 1st came to power in a cube in 2040 greeted by chance of prime minister the pizza named dining room, boston his election when was elated supporting the victory of the progressive opposition need to has sent shock waves through thailand's political establishment and could bring maybe 10 years of minute feedback to me to an end the head of the me, fluid party is confident and his mandate. the sentiment of the hour has changed. and it's right. it was the right timing that people have being 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, liberal and welcome the promise of change. i also feel that it carries a new 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 them to move forward policy for the matter of a quarter to 10 bill because it has to pass the on other policies. i think the very straightforward, clear, and for them you'll find that being able to execute them. oh, i throw money, not man, because i haven't anything i need them on but forming a coalition government might not be easy me for it has very ambitious goals to overhaul the political system on the economy. they want to challenge the conservative roles of the mona key and the minute tree and tie 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 extension to 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 as the prime minister will officially be selected in july and invite 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 me forwards, chose to form a progressive government. here's one of our top stores that this our talk is. presidential rice will be decided by a run of after the confidence to an overall majority opposition candidate to come

all it can. each dollar is hoping to win seats ready. the type of will take place on the 28th of may close up is next on the dw, looking at how the war in ukraine has prompted many eastern europeans to destroy monuments, to the soviet union's victory in well bred gulf will have more, will use at the top of the hour and there's always the w dot com pulled at the w. good day, the loudest voice on my ceiling is out. she's the face of a protest movement. she's there motivator. and she won't give up no matter what she is. nomic for having took my brother hostage a few days ago just trying.
