in the american west. and we show you how this booker cabikebookcan save lives. >> a shrine in thailand that was a deadly location for some has reopened. deadly blast, killed 22 and injured more than 100 others. wen hay is at the shrine in bangkok. >> the arawan shrine reopens. now, there are many representatives from foreign media here, as they may do every day of their lives this may be part of their daily routines but of course dra is a little different. they are coming to not only pay

their respects but to offer a prayer for the many people who were killed and injured at this very site. it is a very resilient society, thailand and it's like this part of the city is back to normal. showing the man entering the shrine grounds and leaving that bag. at the moment, the thai authorities are not saying anything more about him. we don't know whether he's a thai citizen or what his motives are. police are not closing off any avenues of investigation. they are open to any suggestions that this could be a link to domestic thai politics or some sort of international angle. they are also investigating the fact that this could have been a revenge attack carried out by wieger muslims, you may remember that just last month the thai authorities deported more than 100 wiegers back to beijing.

>> let's bring in kim mcquay, a a representative of a think tank in the united states. kim thanks for being with us. lots of speculation at this stage as to who may be behind this bombing. the government has ruled out links to the insurgency in the south. this was a very public, very bold attack that was meant to send out a strong message. what do you think that message was? >> i think it could be a combination of things, in an effort to embarrass the government, to notwithstanding losing some power from 2014, could still be shane by an event of this kind. so those would be amongst the motivations that one could imagine. >> prior to this the military

government had been under pressure to hold elections and to return the country to civilian rule. with this latest violence do you see this pressure from pro-democracy groups easing? >> i think that this will add to the pressure on the government to a certain degree. there will be a number of things that will be happening. people will be watching the government very carefully and with expectations to see how diligently the government can follow up on the investigation, whether an organization or individual can be brought to justice. and kind of moving in parallel with that, the broader governance issue, whether the government can get through this constitutional reform process and return the country to elected process as soon as possible. it's very difficult because of the pressure the government has brought to bear on broader critics, to gain what the public sentiment is in that regard. this will be an interesting

litmus test i think for those interests of security and the broader governance emerge. >> kim, thailand has often seen political upheaval and violence. every time thailand has managed to bounce back. do you see it being different this time round? >> there's certainly concern in that regard. you're absolutely right. thailand has demonstrated historically remarkable resilience. from the issues of 2010 and beyond expectations, likewise the flight emergency in 2011. what was different in the prelude to the two, and again part of the rationale of the government, was that the economy seemed to be genuinely under stress and since then the government has gone to some lengths to say it is managing the economy, there are telltale signs of the economy that says the economy could not recover the way it could. initially the tourist economy

which is so important to the country, and they have knock-on effect as far as investor confidence really can't be discounted. we're watching that with some concern. >> kim , thank you for your concern. kim mcquay from the asia foundation. greece is planning to use a ferry to carry migrants to the northern shore of thessaloniki. a record 107,500 migrants crossed the european borders last month and the u.n. says all of europe must do its share to shelter them. germany takes the most asylum seekers and there are about 700,000 asylum applications
