6:32 pm
vindictive government that took, vanished quickly and months of political deadlock could sublease on the move forward by the one the most seats. imagine your elections let but be leaving joe to inject type supported him as they had to really loose the ticket on the back choose and the monarchy was beat. the wanted to change that. but when, who spoke the dr. diploma coordination? he fee to get the backing of the military appointed senate. now they move forward. body has been kicked out of the correlation, crushing the hopes of young people to keep wanting to and i'm disappointed because they've ordered for him, but if they but he couldn't make it i left. so do i know about me being able to come out to protest because of reality doesn't reflect the result of the election now. so i've been with that and he was on this for now. be done. has been

6:34 pm
it is not only young people be that are in mind that thailand is one of the top 3 leading economies in southeast asia. and so a lot of businesses here are really concerned about the kind of political instability, the country is facing now. so they hope that a fast solution can be found. what does this all say about the state of thailand's democracy? well, of course, you know, any democratic system is not just about the majority, otherwise we would have to start renew of the masses if you want. so any system has, um, for instance, their liberal checks and balances. there's read about the press. there are some particularities where, let's say, for instance, the chancellor is not directly voted, but there is a representative votes. but one has to say that and to put it mildly to acknowledge that in the case of a type system, it's really the legacy of the past of almost a decade of pro military rule in this country. that has been slowing things down
6:35 pm
because technically move forward together with the 2nd largest opposition party. the po type party would have a majority in parliament, but it is the senate, the upper house, with some 250 non elected military appointed senators. that is dragging things down and has stopped the move forward party from getting into power. now about this return from exile of the former populist prime minister to extension and watch out any sense of what the younger generation many uh, who might not have strong memories of him. how do they feel about him? that's really, that's right. and that's the problem. many older type people would tell you that the younger generation here has no memory off if you want. uh, the good initiatives at that tech seems, you know, was inactive when he was prime minister. what the young people here see in particular is that the po type party that he found that his daughter has been running as a prime ministerial candidate in the peer type party. the 2nd largest opposition
6:36 pm
party in the country. that is, that this party has quits. the coalition with move forwards and has come out the in favor of, of the did in opposition to the reforms that the move forward party would like to see it in the time on our key. and many upsets the hope there seems to be a that they could thereby get a royal pardon for taxes. and you know, was the cost, the moment t will land and thailand you will be arrested, coming out of the plane. garrick mathis, thank you so much for joining us. in india violent clashes between hindus and muslims this week killed at least 7, an injured more than 70 people among the dead include in a mom who died during an attack on and torching of a mosque. this happened in good around in the state of har. yanna mobs,
6:37 pm
also vandalized and looted businesses and response officials called a curfew. shut down the internet and sent thousands of paramilitary police in to stop the fighting. religious clashes had become more frequent across india ever since prime minister and random, moody assumed office almost a decade ago, and his bar tmj into party, the b j. p. took control nationally and in many states it's a hand do 1st party and attacks against muslims. a minority in the country have grown. many believe this recent wave of violence began with an incident earlier this year. in february, when to was all men were found dead and a burnt vehicle in another incident in indian railway work or shot and killed 4 people and hailed the prime minister after doing so. evidence, critics say, of extremist and do nationalism. joining us as our side kind of share vonny
