a century. reviving stacy criticism that his government was too slow to respond. plus spain return time to celebrate the historic well come with thousands of fans in madrid, but it was not well following a string of control. the manuscripts mckinnon. welcome to the program. thailand's former prime minister attacks and should've what has been jailed on corruption related charges. that's after returning to thailand from 15 years of self imposed exile tax and was convicted in i've sent over several cases, but he says we're politically motivated is a jail to could well be shortened if he receives a royal pod and attack sins or ton comes as the current leader of the policy that

he found it is points to become thailand's new prime minister. as touching down in thailand for the 1st time and 15 years past, then she knew what arrived home to rapturous applause. immediately pausing to pay his respects to thailand's royal family, the former prime minister and billy in the news so acknowledged, huge crowds of his supply offices. i feel fulfilled that i traveled here today to see him a ride. if possible, i want to hug him. everyone here is crying. we waited for him to return to thailand. that's the feeling that we got someone we love back home. but texan did not stay long. he was quickly whisked away to the supreme court where he was sentenced to use in january. so convictions passed in his absence charges,

he maintains a politically motivated tax, then was asked in a military coup in 2006, but backing among his so called read should suppose it's remain strong. made up of poor value to is from thailand's no they maya has policies on cheap health care and the minimum wage. but those opposing tax in the yellow shirts often re presenting monica's or city elite. so his rule as corrupt, after seemed to the same types in was taken to a bank of j. o, but it may be a brief stay, many believe the timing of his return. hence, he had struck a deal as text and form of political policy as on the verge of forming a government, helping paved the way for the homecoming of one of timelines, most influential and controversial politicians. i want to bring in now asian pacific bureau chief scale of mass us is following the story for

us from casa. hi gail. now texting should know what has loomed law drive, but thailand's politics, the decades hasn't. hey, can you tell us a bit more about who he is? absolutely without style one, if not the political heavy weight of modern type politics. that is sex engine, or was who was i was to do the military coup in 2006, later his sister was ousted, his daughter, petro drums, no walk has been running as a prime minister. the candidates in this made a general election. so he really customs from a political dentist that has been running type politics and was now taking the opportunity that to return to thailand, he is loved by the rule poor as he introduced a minimum wage and general health care. and he's despised by the age, money, elite and bank. all right, so what about the timing of all of this?

as you say, he's being an excel for 15 years. why is he chosen to return to thailand? now? i think frankly there's 2 aspects we need to bear in mind here. one is he's 74. he's been in exile uh for 15 years and has 7 grandchildren. so he has a very high personal motivation to finally return to his home country seat assembly to rejoin with his family. and then the other one is the political a constellation now, and that is with a pure type, a part of empower. now, with a pure type, a prime minister in a ruling coalition and the seat of power. it's the almost ideal situation to return back to thailand. as, as you say, i mean the type of them it has literally just boasted to install this new prime minister from toxins policy. i mean, what do you think that that might mean for the tax and himself as well. there's some one interesting aspect here and that is that the po, type

a party is the 2nd largest opposition party, had to strike a deal with a political opponents from the past, the probing, the 2 pro military parties are in the morning to listen and there is the suspicion or the room, or at that a deal behind the scenes has been struck to allow those pro military pro royalist parties, some influence the new government in return for a royal partner to the 8 year sentence, been texted to know what is now facing a that's the pure type party has refuted and i said there's nothing to it. and in fact, the new prime minister has made clear that what he has done is a tough deal with political opponents, but a necessary deal to break a deadlock that has kept the country and the economy of one of the top 3 economies in southeast asia are at a standstill basically, and so that is not a result since the may a general election get as much as they don't use asia, pacific peer or cheese. thank you so much for that.

as the leaders of the bricks, group of nations are arriving in johannesburg for the 15th summit. the members, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa all home to over 40 percent of the wells population. china, as president sees him paying is expected to push for the club to expand. dozens of countries have expressed interest in joining the block. now one leader know set. the summit is the russian president vladimir purse and he faces an international arrest warrant for war crimes. stemming from his invasion of ukraine, but even without pushing the will in ukraine is still costing a long shadow over the summit. dw, use a abraham, has more on how the summit is seen from the ukrainian capital. keep the people here and ukraine will be watching the brick summit happening thousands of kilometers away in johannes, for since the war began 18 months ago,

they've been hoping to sway those countries to lean away from russia and even at some point towards ukraine minimum plan would be to have them involved and at least there's on the house or so forth. and this is why the decisions that will be made and breaks will show if we made a good progress. we're not, is important to keep down within the agenda or resolving the conflict because in the future they would probably gain those increments of influence on russia like china. china is the most important member of bricks. president choosing pain is a very close political ally of russian president vladimir putin. and since the ukraine were provoked, huge sanctions against russia, it's found a welcome market for its commodities in china. beijing has also presented a 12 point piece plan to end the war and ukraine. moscow,

welcome the ideas contained in it, but it did not go down well here in here. there's no means is it, the russian soldiers should leave you pay the do not call that the war, the quality premium crisis, which is less than that. let's try to has it. so a lot of ation, china wants to prove its status of the voice of the soul global south. the global south includes the other countries and bricks, brazil, india in south africa. but china strength may not be the only reason these been wary of supporting ukraine. if you look at the top rates countries, you would see that in many of them would not even have investors still the recent times. uh, and this is why it would be hard to say, oh hi, you've been smaller with the on the right side, police force and please change your way the or fix during the interactions because we are asking you so, and this is why we are trying to work incentive do right now president valencia is

the many extra steps in involving those countries. and you have those other breaks, countries have complicated calculations of their own. india for example says it's neutral. you had benefits from buying cheap russian gas things to western sanctions . and although brazil voted in the you went to condemn the war. president lula desilva has also accused the west to fueling the conflict by giving ukraine weapons . south africa has maintained warm relations with moscow. relations that are rooted in the soviet union helping in the fight against apartheid. kiera critics says you cream needs to better explain itself to a whole range of countries to try to build bridges. we really need to be able to show our point of view and explain how the world in ukraine actually incenses these countries in terms of the foot security and source of the global economy security. and in terms of the building of the,

as the world security system is that would not be the rule of father by the rule of law on the global stage. bricks, countries tried to present themselves as a counterbalancing option to the west, but not united block experts here say the member states need to maintain reasonable relationships with the west. that's why they're unlikely to give russia full support. and it's for on ukraine. the needs of this also to balance is the threats in case of india. this is china in case of african countries. this is fundamentally as discussions in johannesburg, will inevitably touch on the war that's been raging here in ukraine. the bricks perspective on how and why that matters to them will be worth understanding for those who want to influence the member states. and joining me now from john, his book is solution i and she's a senior research associate at the institute for global dialogue. and is also

attending the break summit. as soon as you're welcome to d, w. could you walk us through the history of the bricks alliance just to stop with and, and tell us a little bit of how it's changed and recent years of the data you and the data, the view is um the bricks and itself, you know, came together in 2009 raise was preserved, russia, india, and china. and one of the 2 things that brought them together was really the question of the global economic governance reform. at the time when they formalized in 292010, they formed what you called the into a bag corporation mechanism. and this is really around understanding how to reduce financial transactions. i'm going to keep around capital markets trade the way they will basically engage in raising equity in to put it to markets. and so what's a big cool was really around these issues in terms of how did they deal, especially considering the, the, the impact of the bill,

the financial crisis of 2007 to 2008, which makes countries but which made countries fundable and caught in the collateral damage of the, of the impact of that, of financial crisis that emerged out of the us and the, and, and europe. and this is we, i think that they, they real main stay was around the economic, financial governance reform over time. i think they've also started to note that there was a strategic orientation to the fact that they will try to also recognize that their relationship to the global economy was defined by the geo political dimensions. the question around, i'll be getting enough value in terms of our voice and agency at the, at the various institutions, hardly deformed in institutions to become much more inclusive, much more fair, a much more equitable. and so you listen to the foreign ministers talk about multi lateral reform. these institutions we talking about is not just the un security council, but i think also the way in which the global is paid to the rules,

like those in the w to have become almost politicized the nation invites so initially, if i could just interrupt you, but if i understand correctly, what's happening is it's moving from a financial to a move, a political vision. and i did want to ask you, what vision does the bricks alliance have today? well, what is it that is utilizing it right now? or i think just basic to be clear, the financial still remains fundamental to the political. so this idea that it's moving from financial to political is a bit of a broader interpretation because what it really is, is that the whole financial system is politicized. and it's really not talking about that vision of the kind of reform you one, but the one that doesn't keep you in, in a constant context with the rules under 10 in amended that is exclusive. and of course, it creates the kind of a challenges around how do you integrate around the markets hold you integration,

venue change. and that is why is that? because been quite critical in terms of the applicant outreach program and improving africa's integration to the global economy. so that political is really defining by the, the financial issues that are under printing, the international global economy and the political economy. questions are struck so conditions, right? so you shouldn't need from the institutes of global dial up we'll have to leave at the thanks so much for your time. is now 8 people have been trapped in a cable call, but is dangling over a deep valley in pakistan. 6 children are among those on both they we using the gondola to get to school in pakistan's remote mountainous northwest. when a cable snaps miller tree helicopter is atlas seen. come on those from pack of stones on me or trying to rescue those who have been trapped. this is a developing story and of course bring you more on this as we get more information

you could see that they were laying the fundamentals for what would be a very promising federation one day. now the thing is, is that nobody, despite the amount of talent that they have really gave them a chance because they weren't caught up and a dispute, the players with the federation and the coach leading up to the tournament. now the players said that there was a lack of professionalism. they actually wanted the coach to resign. and what the essay did was that they essentially took the side of the coat and they came down pretty heavily on the players, which caused a lot of players to actually sit the world cup out some very, very good players. that then causes a lot of divide in a team, which is not what you want going into a tournament, like the world cups. and of course, this is also why now people are happy that they one of course, but it leaves a little bit of bitterness because it almost justifies with the as a did. if you don't know really what's going on beneath the surface is face of as these control facies varies, the, the celebrations of the excitement. and of course, you know, the, the actions of the spanish football fed federation president,
