season. ah, that will begin this news hour in thailand where at least $38.00 people, including $24.00 children have been killed in a shooting. in the northeast to the attacker was a former policeman who was facing trial on judge or drug charges. it happened that a daycare center, a non boylen pool center mana, and has the latest. oh wow. the aftermath of the mass shooting that shake in thailand. dozens of people killed a children's day care center. many children were among the dead. some as young as 2 years old. at this point, it's time to really start looking at the issue of how many guns are in thailand. there are many registered, an unregistered guns or the country is basically a washing them in. and so it's a bit surprising that only in the last couple years, are we seeing these kind of mass as shooting inserts. 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. thailand's prime minister approach on a 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 motivates the killer and parents, grieving their loss will be demanding answers. then to mon melody 0 and tony chang is in wood on tiny at the hospital where some of the victims are being treated. tony, let's start with what's happening, where you are. well, there's actually no treatment going on here. this is becoming the central morgue or for this a whole disaster. we understand over the course of tonight all $38.00 about is a $37.00 victims and the body of the suspect will be brought here. doctors will be

working through the night to perform or tops is are, and then they say they hope if they can finish or by to morrow to be able to release the bodies back to families for the funeral rights and religious ceremonies can start to be performed but there is a feeling here of shock. this is a busy border town. right on the, on the border with louse, usually very lively, very little going on. people are passing by. coming back. they're looking at their phones, following avidly. the news of was happened today. it is sinking in, but i think it really a disaster on this scale. something that thailand is not used to and at all. what more have we found out? where does the investigation stand as we speak we understood from the police earlier today that this was a for them. their main suspect is a former policeman who had been let go from the force about

a year ago. they've just said in the last hour or so that he was actually in court today at a trial facing drug trafficking charges. the verdict was expected to morrow or the conclusion of that trial. to day 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 let a violent trail towards his home, where he killed his wife, his son, and ultimately himself. but we understand from the time prime minister that the, his motives at this stage are not clear the time prime minister said he suspects it's, it's a personal motive that there may have been some personal problem. but the implication, i think at this stage is that drugs, the drug trafficking, show child, and possibly the use of, of drugs by this former policeman himself moved,

contributed to what we saw today. tony, there's a very high rate of gun ownership in thailand. can, can you speak perhaps of the context around the shooting? yes, there is a guns are, were legal as this illegal sale of guns is relatively tightly regulated, but this is a country which has had an act of war zones on its border for decades. guns have flowed in and out of thailand. however, where, where we have seen individual gun violence on a fairly common basis here. and tenant these types of mass killings are very rare. nonetheless, in 2020, we saw an active soldier who went on a killing spree in the city of koran and killed 30 people. and this followed day by this ex policeman. i think there'll 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 guns, 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 some ways enables these type of things to happen. recall from that former senator was really for civilians would be taking over these roles in the hope that this couldn't happen again. and tony chang reporting from outside of the hospital were bodies of victims have been transferred since this morning. thank you very much. a ukraine is blaming russia for showing several residential buildings in the southern

city of upper rita. at least 4 people have been killed in the attack. rescuers have been digging out survivors from the rubble of the bill. how meet is it? me pro, where she saw some of the destruction earlier in nearby upper region. 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 deputy jay has been coming under constant missile attack. i would say nearly on a daily basis. usually it happens early morning just like today's attack of the

background to it. being the upper reaches 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 and 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 this city? now, why is it more and more intense the attack and the attacks and 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 this city. that was harder to meet in the pro rory challenge now, reports on ukraine's counter offensive in the south, near her son and in the east, around layman, a warning, some viewers may find the images in his report. distressing ukrainian soldiers

crouch ready waiting for the armored vehicle to appear, but it hasn't come to kill them. white's clothing hangs from its gun. this, according to ukrainian officials, is a russian surrender. whether or not it was coordinated the ukrainians don't want any surprises. the b m p.

where maiden pharmaceuticals have a factory, has sent samples of the syrup for testing. on monday, 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 and we can speak now to the director of the gambia health services dr. mustafah be tie. he joins us live from the capital, bon jewel. so what's your latest information on what exactly went wrong? news 3, thank you very much. we asked you going on we go investigation. this is one from the approach we are thinking of about 2 sections and we also thought the poisoning from talk so we decide some of the

docs that some of these combined not talk to being at this stage. do you think that it is all the cough syrup, se that are manufactured by this drug make or do you think maybe it's to do with one specific batch? we are thinking for now because she was not only these that we suspected using you know, the show already just suspect that suspended ops and then doing investigation. so we spent a lot of samples together more than $21.00 k model for now to be we want to set up. what are we seeing then we can, we can see one but for now, why doing investigation? we can made us to ensure that we stopped injurious upon it. so we of course your quarantine detox that suspects without any evidence and the ones that

we have the bench we have them on them now. yes. ok. well that's very important obviously. is there any, do you think any of this cough syrup left in circulation in the country? that now it's a mission where we are, we are we want to be on hold easy to handle. now what do you still need to run to be something with direct us where we have lot of the house to out any i'll be available in the conference did gave me an authority test this product before authorizing it before allowing it to be sold. the only 3 quality number of british strong capacity. so we can do all that someone was going to be done and you know, so we're trying to strengthen that or to ensure that miss from here,

that is what we do not shut down, is to do random collection of some of these. i'm send them so what i'm trying to understand with that question is who authorize this and, and how and when i think we need information on that because even if it wasn't gambia, who authorize this and they delegate that to other countries, as you've just explained, somebody must have authorized medication before it was given to patients. we wouldn't record the mixing control to body that had offered you starting to be used in the country. and you look at your record the company to think before you're out to lunch. ok. and 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 isn't given by the gambia, it's 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 you on that we should be dr. now reference and tracy forms in today. we are working on them last week, but we haven't looked at best now on the last 2 weeks or a little late now we have we have to see what we are going to work with. you were to do the course of what the problem. all right, we'll continue falling the story dr. me stuff i've been tell you are the director of the gambia health services. thank you for speaking with us today. at least 5 people have died in ghana after widespread flooding. thousands more have been displaced, and as alexandra buyers reports, many regions, including areas around the capital, aqua are still under water. abandoning their homes and heading for dry land. the flood waters rose quickly forcing thousands of people to leave nearly

everything behind within 3 hours. the whole place was flooded and if and say the rooms for bedroom abundance, everything. so had to move for a shelter and also get a place to see. the best way to do is to move out. we've agreed to. i went to, tim, comes out and we just come up for the rest of the stuff. but most of the go button on the unusually heavy rains caused rivers to burst their banks, making things worse to dance further. upstream in neighboring burkina, faso were also overwhelmed. normally the reeves come in june, july and by this time it is subsided, but because of, for the issues of climate change, i went up, actors somehow has changed. gone as own dams are under pressure to. and if

water isn't released periodically, it could lead to an even greater disaster. if we do last bill, we were up with the people don't pin in danger because we are then compromising on it. if we do not handle the will and then we will express dumpy, the consequences and the repercussions will be more, i will be more told the express in the some of these people are heading to camps. others are staying with family. for now, they have little choice, but to wait until the water subsides. alexander buyers al jazeera, at least 17 people were killed when their boat capsized off the coast of the greek island of less boss. overnight. the coast guard says the boat was carrying at least 40 people trying to migrate to europe. a 2nd incident happened further south near the island of kiera. dozens of people, including many children, were rescued after

a boat carrying up 200 people, hit rocks and sink in high winds. the area is often used by people smugglers looking to bypass grease and land in italy. israeli government has rejected, revisions requested by lebanon to the 2 countries disputed maritime borders. it is throwing into doubt, years of diplomatic efforts to enable both countries to extract gas in the mediterranean. and 2 countries are technically a war and have been negotiating on an 860 square kilometer patch of sea. but last year 11 on expanded, it's claimed by more than 1400 square kilometers to include the carriage gas field that you can see on your map. and that led to a break down and talks the route has since back down on that claim. a deal would allow israel to begin producing gas from the career field to fulfill the contracts for europe without risking conflict with the lebanese armed group has below. it will also allow lebanon to begin exploring and tapping potential resources. john

hendrick has the latest from west jerusalem. this is a lucrative deal for both countries, and they both have strong incentives to make it work on the living onside. their economy is devastated so badly that people are walking into banks with guns just to take out their own money. and on the israelis side, it's not just lucrative financially. that would also bring them closer to energy independence, which is a goal there. but this is an agreement being made between enemies. webinar doesn't even recognize the state south of its border. so it's no surprise that there will be last minute hitches in these very tense negotiations. in this case, israel's, your la p, the prime minister here, it says that the changes made the last minute by levin on or the requests for changes are just simply unacceptable. so he's kicked him back and said, no, i want to go back to the agreement that was outlined by an american moderator just a week ago that was supposed to be something like the final version of this. and

these railways are suggesting that the lebanese negotiators are trying to get a little too much at the last minute. some of it has to do with where that borderline is drawn. they've agreed what that is for this particular deal. but lebanon is wary of what, whether that is to be recognized as the international border in these disputed territorial waters. so, so if i say to say that both sides still have enormous incentive to make this work . but for your la p, there's a ticking clock. there is a november 1st election here in israel. 11 public schools have restarted, but their classes have not. features are still on strike, demanding, better pay. they know holder has more from the route. lebanon's academic year has begun, but public school teachers are still absent. a 3 year old economic crisis has affected the education sector and they're on strike saying they can't survive on salaries that have devalued to less than $100.00 another. but in all that,

we don't have the money. we have rights, we can't keep on sacrificing the education minister promised to give us transportation allowance for money pledged by donors. but this won't be enough love in the families who are struggling. nadia has to wear what was her elder sister's uniform because her parents can't afford a new one more solid sob. we can't pay transportation costs, so we have to up to school. we also don't have enough money to send sandwiches with their children. a recent study by the united nations children's fund found that 38 percent of households in lebanon had reduced their education expenses, compared with 26 percent in 2021. and 16 percent of children dropped out of school during the past 3 years. before the financial meltdown almost 60 percent of the countries, 1250000 students were in private schools. but fees now need to be paid in us

dollars, making private education and affordable for an impoverished population. not as long as we're noticing that a lot of parents are not able to keep their children and private schools and are having to move them to public schools. the world bank says the case, $55000.00 students were transferred to an already under funded public education system. last year, officials say meetings are being held with donor countries and international organizations to seek financial assistance. and pledges have been made, but they're not close to the $260000000.00 needed to operate government run school . critics say the ministry has failed in its preparation and management of the crisis. members of education is one of the most funded sectors in education, in terms of grants. we have the study which says, but 1200000000, that comes to the ministry in terms of grants and loans. just wanted to get the form on to support the system. what is the money going?

well, what, what has it been invested on? the start of the academic year has been postponed several times already. the fear now is that it may not happen at all. and who there else is eda balte, a still a head on al jazeera. there are concerns that norway's gas pipelines could be the next target of sabbath tours. after attacks on russia's north stream pipeline. and striking a balance between a growing economy and the future of green energy for africa's largest oil exporter wasn't sports with andy targeting back to back world titles. max brushed up and gears up to the japanese ground. ah hell i we got some very stormy weather setting in across sir paraguay, pushing down towards the southeast corner of brazil. your why sing some live he

shout longest spells of brain as well. every guy there is like to be widespread flooding. pushing a little further north, it's denise, which is we go on through thursday, piping up further, eating its way into bolivia, as we make away into friday larvae showers that to into our western parts or brazil . northern arrows of peru, columbia. see some lively showers in some raw, the wet weather now, just clipping the far north of venezuela is developing a tropical depression is making its way just around southern parts of the caribbean sea, a saudi punched his way through the a when woods crossing over to that and to bega and you can just see just making his way to the west of caracas, that it will continue to drive further west, which as we go through the next couple of days. and then is that making a bee line towards nicaragua, for the early part of next week, could be quite a significant feature by that state. we have got showers into where parts of mexico notching up into new mexico, arizona part sofa of texas. oh sinks in wet weather,

up towards the lakes. some wet weather here as well. much cooler in winnipeg to 6 celsius on thursday, but temperatures do recover a little by friday. ah. a british political party at war with itself. labor party is a criminal conspiracy against its members. newly obtained documents were reveal members silenced, suspended, and forced out. my god, this is unbelievable, and free speech was shut down an exclusive investigation. the labor files ought to be on al jazeera.

ah lou ah, watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour, at least $38.00 people, including $24.00 children, have been killed in a shooting in northeastern thailand. it happened that a childcare center, a non while i'm full, the attacker fled the scene before going home and killing his family and himself.

the world health organization is warning. the death of $66.00 children in the gambia could be linked to cough syrup made an india he w h o says lab samples, so the syrups contain unacceptable amounts of contaminants and ukraine is blaming russia for shelling several residential buildings in the southern city of upper region regions governor says 2 people have been killed. leaders of $44.00 countries are meeting for the 1st summit of the european political community that is aimed at advancing stability in the fall out of rushes, invasion of ukraine. you, members and 17 other countries are at this prod, meeting the summit is the brainchild of french president emanuel michael, but with sour relations between several countries attending. there is skepticism around how effective this forum could be. this meeting key, so it's still important. this would be the 1st one. it should be an important meeting because we share the same jointed and we face the same challenge as soon we'll have their children to address how we can try to to improve the tra,

parisha transmission in order to have more stability, more security, more, more police, their vast enjoys us live from prophecies following developments there. how should we look at this there for a united stand against russia? absolutely, that seems to be the most important signal that this for to, for lead us e u and not e, you on to, to show to the world. and also, especially to russia and the mo, the, the whole european continent or is a present here, the leaders are but not russia and not bellow. so that's the main aim of this says summit so, so to see, and we don't also know what will be coming next. it's no official format of this summit. there is no official structure yet, but this was the very 1st meeting and it was my cancer brain child because countries like ukraine, but also moldova has been wanting to become part of the you become a member,

but it's 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 there still this uncertainty, although they feel there is some kind of unity here. it's the question now whether it's 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 it's very important that we have the same views while it's armenian is also asked by john who are here. of course they are in at war right now. also turkey is here. so there's a lot of question. so when this and if this 2nd 3rd summit will be held here. but

as the president of lithuania get down. uh no say that 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 their boston reporting live from prague. thank you very much. officials in sweden have confirmed last month's gas leak from the north stream pipeline was caused by explosions. tensions in the region rates concerns of possible russian interference in norway. now the top gas supplier to europe and the u. k. jonah ho reports from norway. while european nato allies have focused on on being ukraine against russia, they've 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 st. 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 europe's main gas supply in russia's place. prime minister jonas gap 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 norway's 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 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 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 classic 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 oil and gas infrastructure, but also computer systems,

electricity grids, and thousands of kilometers of undersea internet cables. they can't possibly protected all go to whole al jazeera and the u. k. is electricity and gas supply or warn is that the nation could face power cuts this winter. that is, if the government is unable to import electricity from europe. and if it struggles to bring in enough gas to fuel its power, plants prime minister list trust has urged europe to keep energy exports flowing during the winter. in an article that she wrote the times newspaper, charlie angela is falling. this. she joins us live from london. charlie, this is something that has a lot of european countries, whether it's the mainland, whether it's the u. k. really rattle the head of this winter or tell us more? absolutely. yes. well, in the report, the national grid is laid out 3 possible scenarios for this country. this wind to in the 1st they say it's very likely that will be enough gas to provide britain with the same levels of electricity as in other winters. but it has modeled 2 more

worrying scenarios. and in the fust, the energy crisis in europe deepens and that results in britain not being able to import enough electricity from front belgian and the netherlands. and that could cause so shortages. but the national grid says it struck deals with 3 power companies, adf, drax, and unit to keep coal fired, power generated on stand by, in case that needed. it's also going to incentivize homes and businesses to cut the energy usage at peak times. and with those messages and 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, and roughly translates up to 3 hours at a time. apparently, those power cuts would happen at peak times early in the morning. and 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 it's 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. and charlie angela, that 2nd scenario you mentioned where people are asked to, to use less energy. you know, that's almost word for word with the french president demanded. michael asked the french to do today. i think his words were if we use less energy this winter will get by so it's interesting that this is happening. europe wide. charlie angeles

reporting life. not just the u. k. problem. yeah, absolutely. thank you. at least 20 people were killed during an attack in southwestern mexico. on wednesday, the attackers targeted the local government offices in the city of san miguel total upon in the state of guerrero, the mayor of the city and his father, a former mayor, are among those killed. the state of guerrero has seen arise and violence in the past decade linked to drug cartels. manuel republic joins us live from mexico city manuel, even by the violet standards set by that part of mexico that region of the country . this is shocking. do we know more about who's behind this, why they did this and why they chose that target? cyril, though we have not been able to independently verify who was behind this attack. this latest incidents of violence is being blamed on the sticky levels. this is a criminal group in south western mexico that's been known to have very strong ties
