6:04 pm
a short while ago, reportedly sweeping the building. some potential explosives that been reports that the young man who tried at this attack had a stash of uh, explosives at his home. do we know anything else about this shooter other than what you just said? the police say that maybe he had a cache of guns inside his home as well. yes, he didn't have a gun license, but somehow he had access to at least one gun when he was seen, there was images with him on the roof of the art stuck in the holding. what appeared to be a gun. he was in his uh, early to mid twenties is from a town just outside pride. there were also reports on social media, which i have not seen confirm that he shows his own father and today and much me. and this part of the world is highly unusual. people in the truck, somebody are not used to kind of what you might consider us style,
6:05 pm
a school shootings or anything like that. and people are really, really shocked to have the government is holding a special meeting later this evening. the president and the prime minister have been expressing their sympathies and also the president by members of the public or opening the instructions of basic georgia forces this afternoon. me ok. journalists in willoughby in prague with the latest and police now saying 15 people have died in this mass shooting in frog. that's the latest this our e and thank you for that update. the united nations security council has begun a 3rd day of negotiations on a resolution aimed at halting the finding in, gone to you as president biden has signaled at the us may back the initiative put forward by error states. a vote has been repeatedly delayed today as negotiators
6:06 pm
have handled over the word, the latest draft calls for a suspension of hostilities between israel and tomas, which many countries classify as a terrorist group. the u. k. france and germany have joined the local calls for a cease fire as well. my colleague did up the middle east analyst shawnee was honest as you're now in the studio with a johnny littlest to kind of target ourselves through this. the us it says serious negotiations are taking place on a new gaza ceasefire. but the potential deal remains on certain with israel and tomas standing firm in their demand so that it doesn't sound like progress. you're right. there is very little progress if any to report on is really official. say today there is no progress the hum us was saying, the only thing we are going to agree to is a complete hold of fire. israel withdrawing from gaza. only then we are willing to
6:07 pm
talk about the hostages. israel said this is a non starter, know, negotiated non non negotiable deal. so everybody seems to be kind of stuck on digging up their hills in the same positions and yes, very little progress so far. so if how much it is real, that their positions are entrenched? what about the united states? what do you, what has to change from the united states to, to, to move? well, they apply a lot of pressure, but it also connected, we un resolution being now negotiated because they need to see progress. it's very bad for the present. and by them as we until 2024. it's an election year as a lot of pressure from his own pace, from that and look for the democratic party. and he wants to see progress on that front. also, let's keep in mind who is the country that brought forth this resolution discussed in the you in today. this is the united arab emirates, the great allies of saudi arabia, of the americans and also of israel's, a part of the abram accord, signed in 2020. so americans are far more limited in their maneuvering here. they
6:08 pm
all, they want now with the back and forth that we're seeing in the u. n. is to be able to abstain and not be to the decision. we're not even talking with them supporting the call for a cease fire. they just want to be able to not to veto it because they know the backlash against that might be very big since they've already be don't come to decisions in the last couple of months since the war started. um yeah, and the americans are in a big pressure and they're trying to apply pressure on both sides. if this resolution were to pass, what impact would it have on israel strategy and gauze? you know, the un security council is the only a body of the one that actually has binding legally binding decisions that actually might include sections of israel bit. so something is wrong very much like not to see happening. this is why we see the americans working on it. it can have great repercussions on israel. i don't think the americans will let that happen. this is why we seeing that back and forth in them trying to at least obtain. um, yeah, it might have. now in the subject we are in this could, may be the only thing that actually move this route in any direction. yeah,
6:09 pm

6:10 pm
but maybe some kind of print area, rounds metal type. the military says its soldiers also discovered shafts to a quote, vast network of tunnels. there isn't electricity books here. this opens, it was close. this is actually a door, not the back of a box to reach the space that leads to the tunnel shop below. perhaps the most important discovery this they believe was used by the hamas leader and gaza himself. yes, yes. and who are pictured here in an old video? what was the problem? he's alleged to be one of the chief planners of the october 7 terror attacks. and sen wise elimination is among israel's top objectives and gaza. while israel's ground troops advance and bombardment continues. israel has now issued new evacuation orders for hon. eunice, in this service,
6:11 pm
where it claims and war is hiding at the plight of palestinians has led to growing international pressure for a pause in the fighting. but israel is standing firm the whole month. we continue the war until the end of it will continue until thomas is eliminated on until victory. let me to hold those you think we will stop. so a not connected to reality by them too. and despite holding tucks in egypt, her mouth is also refusing to budge. in a statement, it said it will reject any talks about prisoner and hostage swaps until quote is rarely aggression is ended. the united nations have suspended a deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people in sudan. the world food program says the escalating civil war has forced it to stop working in parts of g 0. province sedans, army has withdrawn as its para military rivals the rapids. support forces advance

6:16 pm
parliament is overwhelmingly past the 1st reading of 4 draft bills on same sex marriage. so legislation would mean more equality for thailand, sizeable l g, b, t q. community human rights activists have set existing laws, do not reflect the changing social attitude and that they discriminate against minority groups. the changes still need the final approval of the king. if past thailand would follow, they paul and taiwan in legalizing same sex marriage to create the define cook gaiman's client is getting into the festive spirit and they may soon have something else to celebrate the same sex marriage rights, et cetera. sexual couples. the majority of ty parliamentarians approved full draft bills on same sex marriage off to the 1st reading the
6:17 pm
one day. and we will legally be able to support our partners to them. it's meant to be our lives that will be easier. how did you do that? my name and what, and i don't mean we won't have to hide anything from anyone. i couldn't do it because the lot will be behind us. i thought i name and a lot of what i mean, you don't get thrown up by lots of pete new off when we don't want to be privileges and we'll fight people misunderstand back something and think we're calling for special treatment that they communicate our community just wants to be treated fairly night and they log in every day. life volunteer thailand has one of the most open, invisible, gay communities in asia. but activists say this reputation is misleading because the country is known as an institution, still discriminate against l. g p t q. plus people they say this allows the human stadia in all parts of society. previous attempts that posting
6:18 pm
loza marriage equality were blocked by the full a minute treat government. but hoops, monks, the gate community will re ignited of the prime minister. se touch within was elected in august this year on the his government's proposal. that was man and woman and husband and wife would be replaced with the agenda. neutral terms, individuals and spouse in marriage laws, allowing for full equality for old. the bill still has a few hurdles to pause before it becomes low. the many l g p t q plus activists in thailand filled air closer than ever before to having that cruise for quality onset . so reuters journalist upon new one to own joins is now from the bank cock funding. it's good to have you with this. let me ask you 4 bills on same sex marriage have been passed in their 1st reading today does. does that mean that they
6:19 pm
are now as good as past that they're practically going to be long? well, that's do a few of those math. so after that possible reading today, i'd have to form a committee of $39.00 people to bring together for rockdale and maybe one bill before uh, approval from both houses upon and then before it becomes law. so we saw today, it is do expect it to become law sometime next year. however, let's do a few photos, but some of the other day photos is very start. you see the overwhelming support that we saw today, 10 or so lawmakers out of 380 in the lower house were against the bills. one law maker of stain it talk to me about the, the opposition. why are these law makers?
6:20 pm
why are they opposed to same sex marriage legislation? are always very basic. i mean, the board show actually shed a common problem between the governing the opposition by the 10, against the you mention, i'm basically on religious grounds and i apologize for why we bought it is and what is established been here in the law at all. but other loosely minority which is where the, these 10 votes against came from uh, is basically just do a lot of question for that community about this particular law. and to add to the context to this is not necessarily that they are opposed to the spirit of the progressive law per se, but they're asking a question about what that means for these long communities, particularly in the context in a lot of discussion that having a bar applied islamic law on matters related to families issues. this is supposed to be a discussion of going forward and it'd be better. so you can see the compromises
6:21 pm
and reads on this particular issue. thailand promotes itself as a place that is friendly to the o. g t q community, yet they are white or not enshrined in law. what does that say about tie society? i mean, it is a very telling thing. basically more than legislations. yeah. last fall behind the changing off changing sort of adage. and as, as you know, as long as you got it, you yeah, in terms of the how do you do pos, community very rarely use very open. there's lots of information about this and the young legislation is more, it has to be mentioned. also it solves your attitude sometimes, isn't it miss or to reflect some conservative views or be say family, you know, uh, is jewish and to drop today due to, to be based upon them and why many lawmakers so caution is this the spirit of the
6:22 pm
bill. they also mentioned that many times, many families who barriers integration still have this permanent views about that side, especially that gender preferences. so it is something quite interesting. uh, uh, sort of socially is wide open acceptance. but legislatively and also in the family level that's do some obstacles to be overcome orders. journal is put new ones own joining us from bangkok, funding. we appreciate your time and you're reporting tonight. thank you. the world food program is suspended assistance in parts of sudan. the human agency says the civil war has spilled over into the southern region where it has been feeding 8 100000 people. the conflict is killed. 12000 people and displaced millions more and more. i'm joined now from nairobi by clementine. the quite the selling me.
6:23 pm
she's a united nations humanitarian coordinator in sudan clementine. it's good to have you with this. um, it talk to me about the what is the situation right now in wad medellin to the situation in what the news is very desperate. i would say we are extremely concerned, of course the recent fighting has led to the displacement of about 252300000. we're concerned by the vulnerable people that remain that. but the fact that we've had to suspend our activities in terms of our presence of physical presence that we still try to of course, monitor the situation at a distance. but that is in no way ideal. of course, our concerns about the ability for the population data to access health services for those of the engine and wounded. we have some concerns about the hospital infrastructure,
6:24 pm
but we've tried to make sure that through our engagement with the r a so that there is a clear message pos to them that they have a responsibility as it's not a request. it's really to underline that they have a responsibility to make sure that civilian infrastructure is not in the data that people have access to medicine. the people also have the right to leave if they so choose as well it. how would you assess the overall humanitarian situation? in sudan at the moment, this is the, is the way, 8 months into the conflict. and quite frankly, we don't see the, the, the, the fighting a beating we've had mass departures from the country. 1.3000000 have left the country is as a refuge ease, but we also have a significant id population. and we're looking about 7000000 people that are displaced internally. we struggle to access these populations. we face
6:25 pm
a number of bureaucratic and access impediments in security, of course is key. but also some of the bureaucratic measures that we need to comply with that would allow us to move freely freely throughout the country and to protect as well as assist the people. we have a color outbreak. we have about 7007700 cases of color. we've already registered the $216.00 deaths. and with this new out flow from my the need towards the east receive of course the clock color numbers will continue to rise. i've heard about one minute left, or i want to ask you, the situation in sudan is often referred to as the forgotten for much of the world's attention has been focused on israel moss, russia, ukraine. is that affecting efforts to drama? international aid for seed in? i think you just, i think we all know when you see overall the appeal that we made for
6:26 pm
2600000000. we've only reached 1000000000 to date. we're grateful of cost to our doing this. but the, so that these people, i think the needs are as important as of the displaced populations. and that's they should be great to efforts to mobilize resources. but of course, what the people want is a ceasefire. they want to enter the conflict and ends to a situation in which many of the last, that family members, they find themselves in desperate situations with struggling to keep the pipelines open. so these are the messages that i think needs to, to be heard. but more importantly, we need the support at this time in an urgent matter, so many people in to day, and so many people around the entire globe, but just wishing for peace. at the end of this trouble, year humanitarian aid coordinator proceed in clement time. quite
