nice i love mastering. i've loved her since the beginning because of her character because of her courage and how she thinks most reading. so today, wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace for me, for brace of freedoms in their homeland. they run in spite of bob barry's cousins to tries or children should not inherit science from us the an income. if you look into him, nice thoughts, july 29th on t w. the you're watching the w a ha, coming up today. will it be like father? like son, a tim body as long time slot a crack on send, look,

sent to step down and hand power over to his oldest son in a pre determined election. plus in the philippines president bum bum marcus junior, gets his state of the union. has he delivered for his country or has some of his popularity faded? we take a closer look the . my name is melissa chant, thanks for joining us. after 38 years in charge, cambodian leader hon send transfers power to his son hon manette in a pre ordained election. or you might call it selection in what is essentially a one party autocracy. according to the ruling component, people's party, the son one and a land slide against a largely absent opposition. dw scared matches reports from non pen, and he is the big winner of the selection. forestall general holden minette the son

of current lead a consent, he's expected to inherit the position of prime minister from his father in just a few weeks. all you had to say today about his future plans was this, the coming of the ruling can body and people's party needing to worry about the elections that were. the only serious opposition party was disqualified on a technicality. while the 9700000 people are registered to vote, despite the lack of competition. so i'm hopeful of what new leadership might bring . i mean, i had a good job, i'm not sure what his actual plan is for the future. but what i hope is that who minute will improve our livelihood in gentlemen are doing. i want him to reduce the corruption of the grass roots level. don't make people suffer if you can achieve bit. i'm heavy. hate this, somebody step wrong. a new product. i hope the new government will improve the

health care system. they will also need to improve the education system and bring down the price for studying. no, i know like a problem with damage all the lice with carbs on communication, voter, intimidation, and the band or position the list of violations as long as kept international election monitors over a few absorbers. i was surprised that none of the 17 other small, poorly funded parties have a realistic chance of success. the most of a television station or the own, the, or the most of the television. uh they, uh, the businessman who i close. we pride me use the uh, the ruling body in, in cambodia. this is the reason that a position party, they do not have opportunity a praise and about uh for me to call a platform to the public or to devote to one man that was educated in the united states and britain. having gained a legislative seat,

he's eligible to become prime minister, but it's not clear how much change that would bring. you never really retire from politics is what they say in cambodia. and it also applies to the country's liter consent, even if he is to handle the power to his eldest son. soon after this election, he's expected to remain the president of the composer and people's party and pull strings from behind the scenes. joining us from non pen is dw derek mattress. do org, can you tell us a little bit more about hun, minette? the son know actually the met him when he comes to salads. uh there was of course, a huge media attention there. i would say he's a rather accounting person. he's obviously a highly educated. he holds ph. d from the u. k. in economics, he's studied in the united states. he's a 4 star general. so on paper, he has everything. a new countries,

a leader would meet us seeing that he's been in the military. you also have the, the capabilities to, to actually change things in the company. on the other hand, some people here that you know, would you never retire from politics in cambodia and that means also his father won't fully retire even if he hands over power within the next couple of weeks. and that means it's father will remain the president of the can body and people's party and pull strings behind the scenes. now this is the single party stage with what has essentially been a performative election with a priority and outcome as your report. also pointed out, having said that, what are some of the challenges facing the country that citizens might want to see action on from the new leadership? i think 1st of all minutes i wonder what needs to point out really when speaking about cambodia after the election like this is that's the track record off of one send the long disturbing leader in southeast asia. isn't all that bad when he comes

to the economy, he really low at the property line and has brought 12th to this country? the big question is, how is this well being distributed, you'll see a lot of other rockies for robberies, partially driving in the capital here. but when the countryside things look very different. so this is something a new leader would have to tackle. and then there are other big issues like corruptions, like the education system, that is a too expensive and what many people have told me here is the health system needs radical change. many people here who need medical attention travel to neighboring thailand because they can't afford the cost of medical services here in cambodia. very quickly. are there any hints that a younger leader might need more liberalization? politically? yes, of course you could argue, you know, all the, all the critical payments i have seen exiled. and in fact, there has been a loyal introduce that whoever did not participate in this election will never be

able to hold any political position in the country. so on the one and you put their full say up the system can relax and a little bit more freedom, uh and home. and that may actually be that person because he has been educated in the west. on the other hand, people say is the classical pattern twine ship, people will always be careful what kind of changes they do. otherwise, the whole house of cards might fall together. garrick matches thank you so much for joining us. of the in the philippines president bum, bum marcus junior delivered his 2nd state of the union. the country faces many of the same challenges that we've seen. other places grapple with globally, a need to jump struck the economy and strengthened the health system. after several years of the coven pandemic, marcus also discussed manila for an policy. it is also imperative that our nation remains intact and inviolable our sovereignty preserve. we will protect our

sovereign rights and preserve our debit. tauriel integrity in defense of the rules based international order to well, joining us in the studio is journalist on a santos, i know those comments just now. he talks about a rules based international order. what does he mean? and is his foreign policy any differentiates from the previous president, rodrigo detailed to n, y? well 1st let's talk about that rules based policy thing that he just taught out there. we can only assume that this is pertaining to the test, the relations between china regarding the west for the pnc and also the relationship of the philippines is trying to and has rekindled with the west and the west. philippine see is what china calls the south china sea. yes. but because of the head ruling that we are over the territory, a dispute with the philippines, most of the philippines close at the west philippine c. that's look at what's happening here. last year, president marcus had much stronger words about defending the philippines. he said

we will not surrender an inch of the philippines, but still said we will be friends to all and enemies to none. he kept up friends to all in enemies to non line, but didn't have such a strong statement about not surrendering an inch of the philippine territory. let's look at what's different now for sure to your question. has he changed with regard to us policy? definitely, the mark us administration is much more congenial to the us child, we say. and we've seen this with the visit of vice president, come on harris to the philippines and the strength and defense agreements between the philippines and the us. which now has allowed the building or for us spaces, strategically positioned to tie one. so let's look at also where that comes in with the, with china to the president is still trying to maintain trade relations with china . he mentioned, and he think china and his speech, but china is a friend to me, right. it's a trade partner that is also in coaching on our territory. so we see marcus walking

a tightrope between these 2 friends slash allies slash frenemy the us and china. very interesting. now he also talked about the great numbers of philippine overseas workers. i want to play that sound by, as it is our wish that one day for an employment will be driven by choice, not by necessity. it remains a noble calling that are all with the use of answer required in great sacrifice from them, their families and their communities. we are engaging with our partners in the international community to ensure a safe working environment for our country. and that's we do so we are also putting in place responsive mechanisms for the social welfare ration and re integration of our returning o. s. w's into the philippines economy. and i understand that the money sent home by the philippine workers at up to anywhere from 8 to 10 percent of annual gdp

business. huge. what is he talking about when he's talking about this safe working environment? well, most of the overseas, filipino migrant workers are deployed to them to the east. so as you can, as it's been widely reported that there are lots of labor abuses in the middle east because of the follow system that governs the employer and employee relationships. right. so he talked a lot about deployment conditions, so protecting overseas workers in their host country. it's still about deployments melissa, but i was happy with his mention of re integration. and so, as i mentioned, a lot of the filipino workers are in the middle east. in these countries, you will never have a pass to citizenship, right? that's just the way it works there. so at some point these workers would have to come home and what are they going to come home to? let's hope it's not the, but it's not the poverty that they tried to escape from. yeah, and so let's stick to that. he also made some comments about the domestic economy.

the inflation rate is moving in the right direction. from 8.7 percent in january. our inflation has continued to ease up in all regions settling now at 5.4 percent. for this for june. what this means is that in spite of all the difficulties, we are transforming the economy, we are step lising, the prices of old political commodities. so are people buying that or has his approval rating dropped? i understand there's been opposition protests to peg to, to the state of the union. me there has been and you know, well, president mark us remains still popular popularity ratings hovering at like 70 percent or so. but that's really dented by his promise to improve the economy. you know, people have been saying about this. so in a speech, it's that it's so far away from the got, you know, he says inflation has lowered, but they don't feel it. they still can't afford the basic things like bread, rice, and the cost of petrol. so no, they're not buying this and his, his, um,

his is mention of an improving economy. left us wondering how power do you want to improve the economy? where was a promise of more job creation? where was a promise of improving working conditions for filipinos? that was where people want that was what more people wanted to hear. and that was just really quite absent in this state of the nation address. like many other state of the unions around the world where the leader says everything that the citizens might want to hear. but of course it's all in the implementation of santos. thanks so much for joining us. thank you, minnesota. and that's it for the program. as always, go on our website to catch more news from the region dw dot com, forward slash asia. i lose the chance. thanks for watching and see you tomorrow. the music is one more frequent. the 77 percent. here with me is just let shares.
