Well, cap will be his last very censure mans argentinian stars helping to win the tournament for the 1st time in car. Ah, so we begin this hour in thailand where at least 38. 00 people including 23. 00 children, have been killed in a shooting in the northeast. The attacker was a former policeman who was facing trial on drug charges. This happened at a Daycare Center in a long while. Im pu Fenton Monahan has the latest the aftermath of the nash shooting that shaken thailand. Dozens of People Killed childrens Daycare Center. Many children were among the dead. Some as young as 2 years old. Can do that way. The teachers locked the door, but he destroyed fire to shot. I was in the kitchen without the teachers. It was 3 of us. I climbed over the wall and run alongside the road. I crunched down and i saw a teacher who worked over there. The 3 of us run out. I didnt think that he could come in. The teacher who passed away was with the children. The gunman was a former Police Officer after opening fire in the Daycare Center. He returned home where he killed his wife and child before taking his own life. At this point, its time to really start looking at the issue of how many guns are in thailand. There are many registered n unregistered guns. The country is basically a washing them. And, and so its a bit surprising that only in the last couple years are we seeing these kind of mass shooting, incense, thailands Prime Minister, prayer, china, char, describe the attack as shocking. He offered condolences to victims and ordered Emergency Services to do all they can for the wounded questions, remain as to what led to this attack and what motivated the killer and parents grieving their loss will be demanding answers. Benton monahan al jazeera. Earlier i spoke to l. 0 tony. Ching, hes in on tunney at the hospital where some of the bodies were taken. There is a feeling here of shock. This is a busy border town, right on the, on the border with lough, usually very live, the very this will going on, people are passing by, coming back. Theyre looking at their phones, following avidly. The news was happened today. It is sinking in, but i think really a disaster on this scale. Something that thailand is not used to and what more have we found out . Where does the investigation stand as we speak . We understood from the police earlier today that this was the main suspect is a former policeman who had been let go from the 4th about a year ago. They just said in the last hour or so that he was actually in cold today at a trial facing Drug Trafficking charges, the verdict was expected to morrow. The conclusion of that child today, he went to the Daycare Center to pick up his son. Upon not finding his son there, he became agitated, and that is when the killing started. After finishing in the day care center, leaving 24 bodies, there. He then that a violent child towards his home. We killed his wife, his son, and ultimately himself. But we understand from the time Prime Minister that the, his motives at this stage is not clear. The Prime Minister said he suspect its a personal motive that may have been some personal problem. But the implication, i think at this stage is that drugs the Drug Trafficking, show child, possibly the use of drugs by this former policeman himself move, contributed to what we saw today. Tony, theres a very high rate of gun ownership in thailand. Can. Can you speak perhaps of the context around the shooting . Yes, there is. Guns. Were legal as this illegal sale of guns is relatively tightly regulated, but this is a country which has had active was owns on its board with decades. Guns have flowed in and out to thailand. However, where we have seen individual gun violence on a fairly common basis here in ton of these types of mass killings of very rare. Nonetheless, in 2020, we saw an active soldier who went on a killing spree in the city, of course killed 30 people this followed day by this ex policeman. I think there will be a lot of people asking questions about the easy access. These Service Service men have had to weapons. And the fact that this is happened twice in 2 years. Now. One former senator called for tighter control of gun sales and gun control in this country, but he said that would not be possible until there was a proper civilian government. And i think this is one of the issues here that the military and the police are hold a very high position in a very high profile position, anti life. And i think there is the fear that, that in, in some ways enables these type of things to happen. The call from that former senator was really for civilians would be taking over these roles in the hope that to this couldnt happen again. Ukraine is blaming russia for showing several residential buildings in the Southern City of zap bridger. At least 4 people have been killed in the attack. Rescuers have been digging out survivors from the rubble had our bill. Hamid is in me, bro. She saw some of the destruction earlier in nearby as aboriginal it was quite a terrible attack, and i have to say while we were there, we then, and while the rescue workers were going through all of that and people were in a state of shock, then there were 3 loud explosions. Again, we do think that this time it was infrastructure that was said, but certainly a rock, the city we so people running away tried to get to shelters. We actually saw also 2 ladies just hiding, cowering next to a tree. Not knowing what was happening. So certainly it is a city, an edge and separate area has been coming under constant missile attack. I would say nearly on a daily basis. Usually it happens Early Morning just like todays attack of the background to it brings up a rigid the Capital Region of this upper region region. Our half of it was 60 percent of it. More or less is now under russia control. Russia has a next that part claims that is now part within the borders of the russian federation, but it does not hold the capital. And when i spoke to people and asked them, why do you think this is happening in the city . Now, why is it more and more intense the attack and the attacks of the challenge on the city. Many said is simply because they want to scare away. They want us to leave the city because they want to occupy the city. That was l 0 hot bill, hamid worry challenge now reports on ukraines counter offensive in both the south and in the east. Now, a warning, some viewers may find some of the images in his report.

More that when we come back, ah, and leaders are 44 countries, a meeting for the 1st summit of the european political community, the goal maintain stability in the wider region, despite russias invasion of ukraine. The summit, which is the brainchild of french president emanuel mack whole brings together in you members and 17 other countries in prague. Now there are tensions between several of the countries attending and that has raised questions about how effective this meeting can be. Step vaccine is at the meeting, and prox, that seems to be the most important signal that this for to, for lead us, e, you and not you want to, to show to the world. And also, especially to russia and the mo, the, the whole european continent is a present. Here the leaders are but not russia and not beller road. So thats the main aim of this says summit. So to see, and we dont also know what will be coming next. Its no official format of this summit. There is no official structure yet, but this was the very 1st me thing. And it was my cancer brainchild because countries like ukraine, but ultimate dover have been wanting to become part of the you become a member, but its a very long and complicated procedure. So this Community Gives them a way to be part of europe without being an official member. But as i said, there is a lot unclear at the moment and i just spoke to the Prime Minister of estonia kaya class. And she confirmed a still this uncertainty, although they feel there is some kind of unity here. Its a question now whether its going to work or we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of the european union. So the idea is to discuss their combinations that we have currently the Security Issues that we have on the european continent. And i think its very important that we have the same views while its armenian has also asked by john who are here. Of course they are in at war right now. Also turkey is here. So theres a lot of questions when this and if the 2nd the summit or will be held here. But as the president of lithuania, gitano no said, i just told me you said this is the United Nations of europe. So he is very optimistic and we hope to hear from other leaders in the next few hours. What they think. The french government is launching Energy Saving measures to get the country through the winter. It wants to reduce Energy Consumption by 10 percent. How less heating and lighting and more remote work for Government Employees or president the menu. And i cool does say that even the worst case scenario, there will be enough energy to get the country through the cold season. In the case of a tricity supply or warns that the nation could face power cut this winter. That is, if the government is unable to import electricity from europe and struggles to bring in enough gas to fuel its power, plants Prime Minister liz trust has urged europe to keep Energy Exports flowing during the winter. In an article that she wrote the times newspaper, Charlie Angela has more from london where power suppliers planning for shortages this winter. The National Grid as it struck deals with 3 power companies, e. D, f drax and unit to keep coal fired Power Generators on stand by in case the needed is also going to incentivize homes and businesses to cut the energy usage at peak times. And with those messages, it thinks that the Energy Supply should continue uninterrupted. But it is also modeled a 2nd much more extreme scenario, and this is the one that is making headlines right now in this country. In this scenario, it says the conflict in ukraine could escalate the Energy Crisis in europe. And not enough gas would flow to britain. Now in this country, we use gas to produce a lot of our electricity. So if this happened, they would be forced to cut make power cuts to homes and businesses for predefined periods during the day. Know that roughly translates it up to 3 hours at a time. Now apparently those power cuts would happen at peak times. Early in the morning, early in the evening. Customers would be warned in advance and those cuts would be rotated around different areas of the country. So not wanting to be cut off at one time and hospitals would be protected from this. Now they say its an unlikely scenario to play out, but it is very worrying. And overall, the grid operator is saying that it is likely to be a very challenging winter for this country. Overall officials and sweden have confirmed last months gas leak from the north stream pipeline was indeed caused by explosions. And there are now concerns of possible russian interference in norway now the top gas supplier to the european union, and the u. K. Jonah ho reports from oslo. While european nato allies have focused on on being ukraine against russia, theyve neglected their own vulnerabilities closer to home until that is vast. Quantities of methane gas began bubbling to the surface of the coast of denmark and sweden, in the baltic sea last week, under water explosions. Caused damage to both north stream pipelines built to supply russian gas to europe, nato, called it sabotage. And despite a lack of hard evidence pointing to russian involvement, the alliance has warned that it will respond to an attack on allies key infrastructure. And there is real concerned that the next target could be norway. Now europes main gas supply in russias place. Prime minister jonas gas store has confirmed reports of an identified drones cited over key Energy Installations when russia is running out of options. They are. So what could they do to my mind going off to the infrastructure is, what are the things they could do at norways museum of resistance . Appropriately enough, we meet defense experts when hold smock, he spent years studying soviet and then Russian Strategic behavior. Russia is left to basically one my public lou weapon, and that is the export of gas to europe, which has been severely restricted. So it gives the signal of that. Okay, if you continue supporting ukraine as you do well, we have the options to actually cut your gas supplies from, from, from norway. If indeed it was sabotaged by russia that disabled the nordstrom pipelines and that may never be proven. Of course, it would be a traffic act of hybrid warfare designed to damage Critical Infrastructure with maximum deniability and limiting therefore, any direct response. No way is preparing for what may come next. Deploying its military, including f, 35. 00 fight patrols to protect oil and gas installations. Denmark, sweden and finland are also increasing surveillance. But nato allies will know that such hybrid measures are many and varied with potential targets, including not just orland gas infrastructure, but also computer systems, electricity grids, and thousands of kilometers of undersea internet cables. They cant possibly protected all go to whole al jazeera and the World Health Organization is warning. The death of 66. 00 children in the gambia could be linked the cough syrup made an india. The medicines are produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals near new delhi, the w h o says lab samples show that each of the 4 syrup contain unacceptable amounts of contaminants w j is conducting further investigation with the company and regulatory authorities in india, dublin, georgia. Cummins. All countries detect and remove this products from circulation to prevent further harm to patients. While in india, the government in the state of ariana, where a Maiden Pharmaceuticals has a factory, a cent samples of the syrup for testing. It has been decided that before taking any action, we will 1st send a sample and check them all the samples have been sent to central drug, liberty, and calcutta after the report comes in. And if there is something wrong, then we will take strict action. Earlier i spoke with the director of the Gambia Health services doctor and was stuff a be tie theyre using, you know, the grid. Sure. Are they just address suspect that you suspended ops and then doing investigation . So we spent a lot of Work Together more than 22. 00 is one came out of one out to be the one was one we are waiting on the results. Then we can see once but for now while doing the investigation, we can made us to ensure that we stop any injured upon it. So we of course, need a warranty and the job that we suspected without any evidence. Im the one is that we have evidence, we have them and them from. Okay, well the, so thats very important obviously. Is there any, do you think any of this cough syrup left in circulation in the country that now even if nation way we are we are, we want to be on hold easy to 100. Now what weve done is to run to become a direct us where we have a lot of house to out, to call it any of you gave me an Authority Test this product before authorizing it before allowing it to be filled with plenty of british strong. So we can do all the somewhat of that so what were trying to stay in good working with or to ensure that this from here, that is what we do is to do random collection of some of these and send them what im trying to understand with that question is, who authorized this and, and how and when i think we need information on that because even if it wasnt gambia, who authorize this and they delegate that to other countries, as youve just explained, somebody must have authorized medication before it was given to patients we have one recorded mixed control agency that has a system of study, drops out to be used in the country and they look at your record the company. They look at things before youre out to lunch. Ok, and you can about the track record, but you explained to us earlier that there is authorization, right . There is a license given to the medication, even if it isnt given by the gambia, its given by another country in that case. Have you been able to to track that down and figure out who authorize this . We are working with the with you on that we should do what dr. Now quinton treated and spin to death. Those things we are working on them us last week on, but the one thing have a lot of thats now the last 2 weeks or a little of the only we have houston. We have 2 pieces.

Broken plan to end their maritime border dispute. Thats throwing into dell years of diplomatic efforts to enable both countries to extract gas from the mediterranean sea. John hendrick reports from west jerusalem. Ah, its a lucrative deal made between enemies. Israel appeared on the verge of signing an agreement for natural Gas Production off the mediterranean coast with lebanon, which refuses to recognize the state on its southern border. But both sides had agreed. The u. S. Brokered pact is too profitable not to sign, but on thursday, israeli Prime Minister, your la p rejected last minute changes requested by lebanon, sending both sides back to the negotiating table, where each has strong incentive to come to an agreement.

The World Health Organization is warning the deaths of 66. 00 children in the gambia could be linked the cough syrup made an india the w h o says lab samples show the syrups contain unacceptable amounts of contaminants and french author, n e l no has won the nobel prize and literature for her works, blending fiction and autobiography, the author was recognized for her courage in writing about subjects. Other writers wouldnt touch, such as undergoing an abortion or rece reports from stockholm because this was a low key, 1st appearance by any al, no. On the day she received the highest honor in literature, a brief wave outside our home and a parish suburb. Just after she had been named b 2022 laureate, by the Nobel Committee in stockholm. The laval clothes in literature for 20, for the 2 is awarded to the french author unknown for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers of the roofs as strange months and collective restraints of personal memory. Her books such as a mans place and happening, deal with her working class routes, relationships with her parents and an illegal abortion she had in the 1960 s. And i will continue to fight until my last breath so that women can remain free to choose to be mothers or not because contraception the right to abortion are metrics of women, 3 down her willingness to deal with difficult subjects was one attribute cited by the Nobel Committee. Shes so frank and direct and honest in her way of expression. And also that she writes about themes and topics that no one else touches on. You know that she is. She is courageous woman and that we have also no motivation. And though its just the 17th womans received this prize alongside a 102. 00 men, but the door is being opened to more female writers. The Swedish Academy has given itself the task of awarding nobel prizes to a wider range of office, fewer to the western world, and more to women. When they get on the statistics, historically, you pay catastrophic, but we cant put right what happened in the 1900s. There werent many female researchers seen, but now were on the way to a balance, and we dont have to strain ourselves. Its natural to go in that direction. No, come now expect to sell more of our books, at least here in stock home, where there was a rush on for the works of last years winner comes in, is up to rush. I could go now. Now to the sales go up. Well, you could say a 1000 fold because they are often a no authors when. So its from 0 to 100. 00 orders. As soon as its a noun at age. 80 to know is the 1st french woman to receive this prize rewarded at left 48 years after her debut novel poorest al jazeera stock. And you know, as a prolific author, shes written more than 20 books and they chronicle events in her life and the lives of those around her. Her 1st major award came from her in 1983 novel, a mans place, which one frances p. Her no do. It describes changes in her relationship with her working class parents in law or shame. L no explores a childhood trauma, tiny sample. The book starts with this line quote. My father tried to kill my mother one sunday in june in the early afternoon. Live in law or happening was about her abortion when it was still illegal in france, in the 1960 s. That book was made into a film and won the golden lion the Venice Film Festival in 2021. L knows most critically acclaimed book is liz any or the year its published in 2008, which describes herself and wider French Society from the end of world war 2 to the 21st century. Ruth crookshank specializes in contemporary french fiction at Royal Holloway University of london. She joins his life from exile in the u. K. Roof. Thank you so much for being with us. I hope i did justice to l knows work with that little presentation because, you know, i think like most of our viewers, i have not read her work. So i would need you to educate us today. What stays with you after you put down one of her books . Wow, thats a brilliant question. I am his writing is as the no bell jury explained is incredibly clear. And it seems really simple, but it is incredibly vital and impactful as well. So shes a, in a way, shes a very literary literary writer. You get straight to the emotion, the impact, and the context of whats happening. And she has an incredible talent. And this is something that always stays with one after an hour, reading an outlet, she has an incredible talent for rooting the, the extraordinary life events that she speaks of in everyday detail. So thats really relate of all the and she takes as i understand it in a near forensic look at the life of the french working in middle class. Yes. In fact, whats specific about what she does is that her, her background as a working class child in a family. Normally in rural france, her parents around a cafe and grocery store, she had a sense of being between 2 classes if you like. So the being, being always inflected by her working class past and bringing that into the present and exploring the tensions of that being between 2 places. So some of the forensic idea that you, that you refer to there is actually born of this extraordinary tension of being between the working class background. And now part of the book, rosie, i guess, and given it so much of a deals with middle class and french aside, see, and the last half century in france, do you think that her work can speak to a wider audience . Oh, absolutely. I mean, one of the things that i showed me about what else does is that shes in the background of her novels. This is the changes that are happening in society. Those particularly related to consumer culture, to, to, to modernization which, which speaks to everybody. But most importantly, i think is that that sense of, of change happening within a life and the effects of the past in the present. Im talking about life events as i say, or its story the written an extra re way to to people the world over the death of parents and mothers dementia. Im her abortion. Wonderful. Last phone. Not always successful. Love affairs. Well, yeah, theyre not always successful. Are they you, ill remember that line the sense of change happening within a life. You know, you want to address the significance of a prize going to a female author this year. Yes, absolutely. I mean, but so jill is always joy, isnt it . When a woman wins a prestigious prize and it doesnt happen often enough. So as your report mentioned, you know, i was one of very few women to, to win. But shes the 1st french women to win this price as well. And its particularly wonderful that its a french women whose address so many experiences that women can relate to in her writing. And shes also not part of the kind of french literary establishment. And, and so thats also a really significant thing. I think ruth, just before let you go one book, if somebody has to read just one book to start on the path to and you know what . Should it be . Oh, wow. Well, i mean, most people would say lisa anita, yes. The one that shes most famous for, but for me it has to be a girl story. Meanwhile, does she which works in the 1st person and in the 3rd person, and is her returning to automatic sexual experience in her teens. Im looking at it out herself and trying to come see to, to talk about this event, which is in filigree. Is the venture say, oh video fan throughout all of her works is absolutely extraordinary. And its in a glorious translation as well. Or ruth crookshank. Thank you so much for speaking with us today. Appreciate your time and k, i think. Okay.
