In thailand the government has banned public gatherings after protesters set up camp outside the Prime Ministers Office and bangkok prodemocracy rallies have been gaining strength in recent weeks with calls for a constitutional reform the demonstrators out also demanding an overhaul of the monarchy to boot topic in thailand where criticism of the king is punishable by law. They have come in their thousands once again calling for a prime minister. To resign the protesters vowed to remain until their demands were met. The next morning the government. Is arrested opposition leaders and removed demonstrators come dives in front of the Prime Ministers Office. Its also banned gatherings of more than 5 people and the publication of news it seems the security threat. The antigovernment rallies started in july apart from fresh elections and a new constitution the opposition also wants to limit the powers of the king which has not gone down well with thai royalists. I think they were the supporters are right here because they love the country we love the country as well im not worried about violence because both sides are doing what they think is best for the country. But still fails to break out between opponents and supporters of the monarchy. Thailands world family is backed by the military and traditionally revered by the population but king my how what cheer along koren is less popular than his father who died in 2016 the kings moshe kate met with chancellor 3 fingered salute unthinkable in earlier times the gesture has become a prodemocracy symbol borrowed from the hunger games film series better to tell a tarion regime partially also have stifled public criticism of the monarchy but the king has stirred dissent with his extravagant lifestyle and long holidays abroad jury in the pandemic. Opposition leader anon number called the king on stage during the protests. Parking does not reside in thailand id like to ask directly whats so bad about living in thailand. He was later arrested with the anger boiling over the government is keen to put a lid on the protests any way it can. And im now joined by a professor at 29 palms the director at Chulalongkorn University in bangkok professor the protest stuff been ongoing for several months why has the government now declared a state of emergency. Put this predates the codes and you can see began in february this year when the future for policy with this also is a positive lot of young people younger. Leading to put this movement this time and then we had a toss of the it would depend and make it a lot its also now since june it restarted this time the protest movement has kind of stepped up has piled up in madison. Much more much more daunting now i mean the ones who have to find these are resigned and then to have a new constitution to east that thailands democratic system and then to. Reform of the monarchy so these are they are very shot very unprecedented kind of the math so the stakes are higher basically and wind it put it has just got in yesterday they have had some encounter with a royal part of the royal motorcade and that became the catalyst for the crackdown overnight and now we have it but you see the. Basically were facing more repression a crackdown rather than before intercession. You mention it then when i came just as high as it at the one i can kings that traditionally red beret and tyson fight scenes so why have the protesters turned against them want to katie and how significant is it. I think the 1st is this is not really directly trying to get them on a p. S. I. s i think that they want to see the monarchy in a different way that you know much more modern. More kind of a system of monarchy within the constitution with didnt. Exist you have to remember you know that reigns the late king and he was very populated as all moral authority at times because he was on the throne of the 7 decades as a long time so all time that you can see you know weve come up on that range from 7 kids off one king. Under one key so that means this morning hes very popular i know have a new model and i think at the same time you also have new younger generations you also have a lot of messy politics over the last few decades so basically it is just them about these people who. After 980 days seem thailands not making a way that is you know a future for themselves they seem to music who in 2014 which is run thailand today to the browns you know the time he called me the only indian you know even before call it was struggling enough to call it kind of the there was a tradition in all asia you know so theres a lot of grievances ordered. And the time is right for some kind of news in the form otherwise it will not move ahead thats why dont you go and not happy but do you think the government crackdown will put an end to the protests. By the short term in the crackdown is very severe so who knows im sure the leaders will be arrested and in prisons and then. The severe restrictions of movement and you get someone so there will be a short term setback because of the protest movement because of the coercion and the legal persecution and there is Musical Force but a lot of it unless these grievances are addressed somehow you know less time and can move forward somehow not falling behind all regional peers and the rest of the world then we will have more you know thats basically the bottom line even if you have a north korean system and it works well. I think a lot of young people be fine but theyre not happy because time is running to get around were not moving and they have no future. Professor tim hugs that arac many thank. You. Thank you.

Male ducklings a soldier to keep the price and will be arranged for me. Females are more expensive and will be raised. Doubts are raised in both closed environments and free range in the fields. I.

Just tie it to that wouldnt post the road she got here. The most necessary feature of this academy is the school bus. Designed it himself using his 20 years of experience in transporting docs. It has 7 levels and can carry up to 3000 ducks what makes it different from other trucks the adjustable ramps which enable ducks to move up and down each level by themselves. Today its a big day. So no hes going back to the docks to recruit his 1st group of students one im taking out 99 docs today how about i want to test out the storm. And let the dogs get used to that i think. I.

I did a great got my family get a few smaller ones to a nice healthy signs. Some new plans to train the 1st group of dogs to be leaders for the big group that will come later. I doubt its too long familiar but theyll soon find their way around. Their arms. Back and forth exploring the. Terror of the property on their way out cracking loudly she could make a good leader. See the docks go up. Learn to use the ramps to get up to the top level. Im teaching them how to get on and off the truck theyre still having trouble with the corners but theyll learn eventually to use both levels. The flow for. The time i picked up the docks a lucky number today im getting out of 2900. Count them and take them all out. I want them on Different Levels when you. Go out by themselves all. No way these are new drugs they wont know how to do that yet. They will. Each doc cost around 3. 00. Go up soon once already made it stick together docs need to do this every day catch them and put them up there. Thank you very. Ready. 2. Well. I. Was. Of the. Academy as officially open. Of the ok to me as 3 simple lessons. Of the. Lesson one boarding the truck. 3000. 700. 30 minutes. More than an hour past. I. Doubt its the 1st time theyve ever done it at. Any one and eventually. Yes. Teach themselves. Takes his 3000 students to feed in the rice field every day. Normally we have to pay around 200. 00 us Dollars Per Day to feed them. Taking them to the field is 4 times cheaper. He takes them to his own fields as well as to his neighbors. They finally arrive at the destination. Both the canteen and the playground await but the students must 1st learn the 2nd lesson. Lesson to getting off the truck. 3000. 00 to get off the truck within 15 minutes. Thank. God. I. Thank you. Getting off the truck might be simple for students in the lower levels yet they had to bring me this take im now an evel fast. But is not a simple for those on the upper decks. I close the ramp 1st all that go back up. Chase them down to. That. I so know how to use the emergency slide on the 1st day i. Like skydiving i was taught. To use the adjustable able to move down by them so i just need more time. For. The grains on which the ducks are feeding those of spillage rights from the last growing season. The ducks get rid of these grains and prevent them from growing into mixing with next seasons crop. Prepping the field is only one of the many duties the ducks have to help someone grow his rice. And theres always spillage at least one or 2 bucketfuls paragraph. So most students enjoy the field for around 8 hours. Collecting the ducks from the field is duck academys most difficult lesson 2. Lesson 3. Obeying the whistle. Have to return to the truck at the sound of the whistle. However. Getting 3000 students to stop playing is no easy task. But it is easy to recognize. It tells them if its time to get her out to the fields. But it takes months of training. Im trying to use my voice and i caught a cold my voice wouldnt work properly but the whistle sounds the same. To. Some people call me crazy yeah blowing my whistle like im a soldier that the banks dont understand. But i do like a lot but i just do things my way. Because so much stuff so females soon they will lay eggs which will give him a regular income. In the equivalent of their team. They enjoy having fun. And certainly even take it a step further. Their performance is improving day by day. On the 1st day it took nearly 2 hours to get them out of the truck it was chaos. And maybe theyve improved a lot theyve learned to use the ramps and better going around the corner i. Got here when i need to be gentle when your training Animal Shelter them all be aggressive they have feelings. But its their instinct to eat all day and one when they go into the field they start searching with beaks for something to eat straight away i know theyre eating snails. Every now and if theres no food in one spot they move to another there. Is no stopping. I the field grazing of ducks says chilies for. Wisdom that was brought to thailand over 100 years ago. Are currently there are around me in the field grazing ducks in a country. That takes his dogs home every day but most field grazing duck overs take their ducks to feeding different rice we found that the ducks sleep out about. Between probably. Field grazing raised for meat and eggs. To raise ducks. For use of chemicals. Some of it has around 40 acres of rice fields. This is a new leaf planted plot. Im checking the rice plots. These ones are about 14 days old. Im also checking facts. Because i dont use chemical pesticides on my you know they normally come out to feed in the morning as indeed or in light rain the plant sprouting after 2 days if it ran out and after that the snails will eat everything like little or have to take extra care until the rice is among. Golden apples snails were imported as a food source from japan taiwan. However they brit with native snails resulting in apple snails which quickly spread and became the worst enemy for younger ice plants this is one of the main reasons for the increase in a group in mccall use. Chemical usage in farming started in thailand around 50 years ago it was the result of the post world war 2 the revolution. That there were several changes one of them was the introduction of new types of rice the native varieties were abandoned in favor of the new west that had a higher yield and shorter stocks or they require the use of chemical fertilizers and insecticides. That there has been a drastic increase in our Group Chemical imports in 2000 feet dean thailand imported around 80000. 00 tonnes but recently this amount is increased by well over 100 percent to almost 200000 tonnes. Of forest carry out regular studies an occupational diseases and they show that a 3rd of thai farmers have abnormally high levels of chemicals in our blood. And got. On my head no i oppose the use of chemical pesticides in addition to snails the substances also kill fish and crabs downtown on the right way. Grazing his ducks in other peoples fields has potential dangers. Is all it needs to be extra careful. I ask people if they use chemicals i have fields i need to know in advance because if theyve recently sprayed their. The chemicals could harm the ducks that. They just harvested the rice. Theres a lot of spillage for dark so. Now you know. When you dont spray the fields. You can. Keep a few days ago right. The owner always does it himself. Pop them off. To get their snail shells birds have come here to feed theres lots of rice spillage and their. Young son looks ducks are popular among his neighbors he must check that the field is free of chemicals and that there is enough food for his ducks. For various snails here. Taking the dogs to graze in the neighbors fields provides mutual benefits. Its a free service to clean up the field while so looks ducks get a free meal. Was. I i i i. I. I i thank. God i talk so much better at getting in and out of the truck now that 40 percent faster than i go out on the 1st day. I. I. Thank. Him. When you. Come to. My. Next ones want to get out to.
