the taxi driver has met the new prime ministers relative. her father texting recently returned to thailand from political exile and her on ging lock, both former prime minister petro and tom should know why has never held elected office before. she can paint last year in the general election. so her father is potty and had to face allegations should be his puppet. i hope i can ask him for advice any time that i want, but not all the top 24. so unlike that because it's not possible i, on my own person and a half by on things and my own goals that i have to be achieved for the future. improving living conditions for people like drunk funds are included in her goals. but she also promised to reduce thailand, national debt. political experts agree that such promises are not the key to stay in power. and,

but she has to deal with the traditional needs before with you to keep the peck but to keep them from staging. a quote to keep the chords from the, the, solving the party. and she has to keep the affections happy that you cannot do much. john ponds for most, you know, why heroes well ousted by those that lead, send the military in course. and he says he's not concerned that pro military policies were used to be either she knew was false or propping up the government of his car in to euro. but the mall, but had keypad, ma'am, we can't keep looking back at past problems and conflicts. it's time for us to join hands together and reduce conflict while building a better country future for our people who wouldn't take it before entering politics pendulums on at been running, the hotel arm for families,

business empire. now to work here, the type argument, as the thought chanel was prime minister, both powerful hurricane has made landfall in the southern us state of louisiana. the far he said you have ordered evacuations in one county. and they were wanting a funding as a result of a possible 3 major storm search. american friends scene also had pounded new orleans. we'd heavy rain winds of more than 120 kilometers. and now i have, i have no doubt power for almost a quarter of a 1000000 people throughout louisiana state and federal governments have to create a state of emergency to allow a faster response to the store. and i asked me to roll it just matthew can peachy a little bit earlier. how dangerous this harken could turn out to be. oh, yeah, most definitely. so right now i'm a little bit south west of new orleans, which is a very big city with several 1000000 people. and they're bracing for wind over

about a 12230 kilometers per hour. this storm was expected to weaken because withdrawing and dry air instead it's strengthened at the last minute it's structure improved and now i have my location failed when the city has been waiting. gusting over 13140 kilometers per hour. and that same walter ring a furious wind towards the middle of the storm is working north towards new orleans . power is out across the area, streets are flooded. the water is rising above roadway because missed part of louisiana near the by yourself and the city and sea level is basically at the level of where people's homes are mostly ground is only about 2 meters about the level. and you said, you know, 23 meter servers that might be enough, the entity goes to the community. and the winds are taking a long time to die down. so to be up to about 4 hours a few years when the will get worse, especially in the city of new orleans before it gets better. okay, so it's the strength of the last minute it's expected to get was matthew when you think of louisiana or in hurricanes you can't help but think of katrina back in

2005 is the scale and strength of this hurricane. anything like that? fortunately, no, we think that this one is moving a little bit faster so it won't have as much time to sort of cause as much damage. the winds are markedly weaker, even though there's still a strong storm and the surge won't be nearly as bad. back in 2005 the search toppled, adopt the levies, and that was a big issue. you know, just start louisiana. it's still a hurricane problem. back in august of 2021 they saw ida ida brought wins over 220 kilometers per hour. and so they cleaned up a lot of the damage, but when you drive down here, it's weird being damaged from the last hurricane. as you're going into another hurricane, this beleaguered area has been hit so many times before. and unfortunately they're being hit again tonight that was mainly religious matthew, you could pretty on the latest we have higher confront saying thanks so much matthew. thank you. this is a quick look now. it's some other global news headlines. 3 used former president out back to for g. maury has died at the age of 86,

the golf in peru for 10 years until the 2015 maurice time in office was marked by the are liberal economic reforms. and the violent suppression of analysed insurgency. he was late in child for human rights abuses suspending 16 years in prison before his release last year. the us and u. k. have plates nearly one and a half $1000000000.00 in fresh eye to ukraine. the announcement came as the with secretary of state tents, me blinking and produce a foreign minister. david, allow me visited keith. both countries are still holding out on granting you crying permission to use western supplied, long range weapons against targets deep inside russia. will come will hammer a comma, la harris, and donald trump both projecting confidence. following the debate show down in the philadelphia, tens of millions of us voters tune dean on choose day. not as the presidential candidates clashed of issues like the economy, migration,

and reproductive rights. there are less than 2 months until the election polls, sorry, the candidates are running, making neck in key battleground states. presidential candidates common law harris and donald trump. during president j binding to new york to remember the victims of 911. standing in silence to mark a day of national morning hours earlier, they were facing off on stage in philadelphia. in the 1st debate, harris was often on the front foot as the postponed of issues from foreign policy in the economy to the highly sensitive topics of abortion. and gun control. they also attach what they sold as each of those moral failings.

speaking to has to pull to the woods harness was boy and the democrat. so to debate which politicians have enthusiasm. she's actually staying on point, staying on topic answering questions, giving facts and figures, and her opponent can street just sessions together. visiting this, the bank from was bullish. i say the truth, if i lose votes or gain bows out of here, but this was my best to bait. i do it, it was very good. i do it to you is very weak and bar across the border and opinion echoed by his supportive i think it's been great. i think trump has been holding

his own. he's been on point and sharp, right? to the point, answering the questions. and most importantly, coloring her out. the debate cemented support for each candidate and their respective camps. but we'll have to wait until november to see if it was enough to move the needles undecided voters a group that could prove critical to securing an election victory. for many observers felt that vice president carmella harris, one uh tuesdays to bite i off the double use is different assignments in washington . if that could make a difference in the election or i can tell you what it did. it put her on the map as not the kid off the joe biden. everybody has everybody in the u. s. who watched this and maybe internationally too. i mean, there's millions. i'm really tens of millions of people who are specific. they saw as far difference to watch president bind, delivered in this, in this iconic super fail over the base uh, just

a few months ago in july she got all these held her ground. she master, fully presenting herself as if you will, prosecutor, as somebody who really gives the other guy donald trump, the one with the experience and the former president around for the money. and that was good. that's why everybody. yeah. all the pundents, all the experts say, and people on the street. so yeah, she won this debate, she ran with it and she's got it. so people are going to take her voters are going to take her serious. maybe, you know, in this sense, more serious, and they may be that before s v candidate. now for to make a choice, donald trump, and what she says is going back to the past or future. it's different simons that we're going to return to our top story now, which is thailand's new prime minister pay tungsten towards officially taking the reins of power. today, we can speak more about that. we'd dw correspondent georg matches in bangkok,

d. oh, good to see you. what can you tell us about the new time prime and just as policies and plans as she begin? so 1st 10, as i think like recently a number of economic policies are a top of the list of all for a blonde to move this country forward. that's the big problem set up the states of use that entire time. but also individual that i'll tie citizen. and that is why, for instance, that she has just, well that really, since we're already, you've had it which is a pitch. so while it's handling out some 3, hundreds of your photos, it ones up to individual types of 50000000000 fi who can access that money. you only buy an app. so it's good for me to use the digital market good by stream that, but it's still on clear how that money can be accessed. but many people wait for this election for 2 people till friday a day,

or people have called her a positive father in the report that we played a little bit earlier. you outlined some of the limitations that she's facing in order to appease the royal political and the military establishment in thailand. so kind of kind of this new prime minister actually achieve anything slow staying and power will be on the cheap ones because that's the one that's out there is youth resistance. there's of course, on the one that she has to be fulfilled, a promise to the people. but the more difficult task could be a piece, a good lease in thailand. and that is probably something that, that will be crucial because lots of a prep is the military coup. people expect to be that will be accepted by the public sector, paid off the military. the problem is it's, every party is funding the country. people walk up with that, but the constitutional court has recently been used to teach in school. it comes up

to be installed, the breed assessor, and that is the threats. and so she really has to balance interest, awful, strong, politically, leads, entire life in order to remain in power direct any chance to realize the whole purpose gigs. so you're saying people are fed up with weed cruise in an instability . i'm wondering what are the most pressing issues in thailand, facing people that are like upset the death is a, is a big issue that wants to tackle um, but also energy is, is a big issue. so they're working on some more sustainable energy. but they're also negotiating with neighboring her body off about the gas resource. so well that is just my rear in baltimore. that's dw corresponding key of mass us in bangkok for us . be ok, thanks a lot for that. this and you're up to date for now for more days you can go to our website dw, dot com,
