President Trump seeks to intervene again as Thailand and Cambodia conflict intensifies. As hundreds of thousands are displaced, we bring you a special episode on why the deadly border dispute has re-ignited, shattering a peace accord signed in October. Asia Specific host Mariko Oi unpacks why the peace deal unravelled so quickly, with reporting at the border from BBC South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head plus analysis from Senior Journalist Panisa Aemocha in Bangkok. This episode was recorded at 0300 GMT on Thursday, December 11. Asia Specific brings you essential insights and conversations on the stories shaping the Asia Pacific region - an economic powerhouse, geo-political flashpoint and the birthplace of global cultural trends. Asian perspectives on international issues and in-depth analysis on news from a region that’s home to nearly 2.5 billion people. Whether it is the latest on trade between China and Donald Trump, the rise and fall of political dynasties in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, or South Korea’s K-pop inspired soft power strategy - we unpack what key players are thinking and dive into the stories that matter. Hosted in Singapore by Mariko Oi alongside BBC experts in Beijing, Bangkok, and beyond – listen to new episodes twice a week.

  • Well,

  • this is so exciting
