. at least 38 people, including 23 children have been killed in an attack on a daycare center in northern thailand. ah, thank you for joining us. i'm cyril benya. this is al 0 alive from doha. also coming up in the show residential buildings. sheldon, the ukrainian city of zap a regional close to europe, the largest nuclear power plant. the w h show issues and alerts on for indian made cough syrup. after the death of 66 children in the gambia and french author, i mean l no has been awarded the nobel prize for literature. recognizing her lifelong work with we begin this hour in thailand where at least 38 people include and 23 children

have been killed in a shooting in the northeast. the attacker was a former policeman who was facing trial on drug charges. it's happened that a daycare center in north while i'm full. since monahan has the latest. on the aftermath of the mass shooting that shaken thailand, dozens of people killed a children's daycare 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 n unregistered guns. the country is basically a washing them. and so it's a bit surprising that it only in the last couple years or we see kind of mass shooting incense. 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 pro china cha described 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, martin al jazeera and tony chang isn't we don't tony at the hospital where some of the bodies have been taken for post mortem. i spoke to him earlier today. there is a feeling here of shock. this is a busy border town right on the, on the border with lough, usually very lively, varied if going on, people are passing by. coming back. they're 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've 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 it, so 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 trail towards his home way. we killed his wife, his son, and ultimately himself. but we understand from the time prime minister that his motives at this stage is not clear. the prime minister said he suspected it's a personal note of that. it 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, of drugs by this former policeman himself mc tribute to, 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 this shooting? yes, there is. guns. were legal as this illegal cell of guns is relatively highly regulated, but this is a country which has had active was owns on its borders, decades guns have flowed in and out to thailand. however, where we have seen individual gun violence on a fairly common basis here in town and 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 cor killed 30 people. this followed day by this ex policeman. i think it 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. no 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 hold a very high position in a very high profile position in ty life. and i think there is the fear that, that in, in some ways enables these type of things to happen. that the call from that former senator was really for civilians would be taking over these roles in the hope that to this couldn't happen. again. ukraine is blaming russia for showing several residential buildings in the southern city of zap. originally at least 4 people have been killed in the attack. rescuers

have been digging out survivors from the rubble. how that bill, hamid is in deep ro, she saw some of the destruction earlier and nearby is parisha. 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, this was infrastructure that was said best certainly, oh, 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 jazz has been coming under constant missile attack. i would say merely on a daily basis. usually it happens early morning just like today's attack of the background to it being separated as the capitol region of this upper region region. ah,

half of it was 16 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 this 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 scares away. they want us to leave the city because they want to occupy this city. a hot our bill. how made their reporting from the bro, rory challenge now reports on ukraine's counter offensive and south near her san and in the east, around layman. a warning, some of yours 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, do you radians? don't want any surprises. the b m p. 's crew are quickly bound a rag glimpse of ukraine swift cancer offensive in cats on region. like it's other advance in the northeast. large waves of territory have been recaptured from the russians, but ukraine's leadership is keeping operational security types. the jane of the morsel, naturally, i cannot disclose the specific issues discussed at the meeting issues, but most of the report adopted plans and approved documents will definitely delight ukrainians, and they will definitely upset the occupiers because they will be held responsible for all their evils. not done yet, creegan in the northeast. after months of occupation and days of fierce fighting, lee man is back in ukrainian hands no longer forced

a cow of from shells. civilians must now q for 8, many of lost their homes. others describe their prisons of fear, easiest of all, wood as you rightly the street not paying attention to the russians. one of them sudden the goals are yet stop right here. what are we writing here for another i answer. this is my home language. i writes as i will if i need to go to my parents . so he answers telling me, i dont want to see you here. again, say other that's how i have to sit at home for 3 months and not go out at such a holiday. ukraine's national guard has released footage. it says is the fight for the man. the date and location on verified. but the intensity of combat is clear. 3 days later, russian dead still lie by the roads. flies buzz in the autumn air. here was keel near nearly them for some russian soldiers when they are just running awe from

the commonwealth now still something that king chose. we'll take home in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on al jazeera, waterloo. ah, your headlines on al jazeera this hour, at least 38 people, including 23 children, have been killed in a shooting in northeastern thailand. it happened that a childcare center, a non while on pool. the attacker fled the scene, then went home and kill his family and himself. the world health organization is warning. the death of 66 children in the gambia could be linked to cough syrup made an india the w h o says lab samples show the syrup,

stream pipeline was caused by explosion. tensions in the region raised concerns of possible russian interference in norway. now the top gas supplier to europe and the u. k. jonah whole 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 off the coast of denmark and sweden, in the baltic sea last week. underwater 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 gas store has

confirmed reports of an identified drones cited over key energy installations. when do i say is running out of options? they are. so what could they do to my mind going off to the end? if you can press what is, what are the things they could do at norway's museum of resistance? appropriately enough, we need defense experts when hold smock, he spent years studying soviet and then russia strategic behavior. russia left, it basically won him 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 classic act of hybrid warfare designed to damage critics 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. but u. k, the electricity and gas supply are warned, the nation could face power cuts 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, 5 minutes to lose trust has urged europe to keep energy exports flowing during the winter. in an article that she wrote from the times newspaper, at least 17 people were killed when their boat capsized off the coast of the greek island of less boss overnights. the coast guard says the boat was carrying at least 40 people rang to migrate to europe. and a 2nd incident happened further south harry faucet reports in darkness, 2 survivors of a shipwreck cling to cliff face follow passengers try desperately to hold onto the rocks below. these terrifying scenes unfolding on the shore of the greek era. rescuers try to bring another man to safety with a life. but in rough season with little purchase, he falls back into the water. incredibly rescue as managed to save 80 people in the dark in 70 kilometer now winds hundreds of kilometers to the east. on the island of

les, both, there was similar scenes, a dingey carrying around 40 people, a cap sized and heavy seas. images from the hospital showed some of those rescued young women from africa off cathedra on thursday, grim evidence of the overnight tragedy among the wreckage, a number of bodies local reports set about 100 people from iraq, iran and afghan. his daughter had been on board here. it's very hard. it's very dangerous. i don't know who chose to enter to these people in the greek government praised emergency crews for saving so many on for office. but if can apple, people who are thrown by senseless smugglers into the raging waters, you're g and c coats that do not make any safety standards, such irresponsible behavior. and at the same time, the misdemeanors of turkey, from whose shores these boats,

i'll unfortunately lead to try. turkey has recently accused greek ships of turning back migrant boats, putting their occupants in danger after a sharp reduction in recent years of asylum seekers sailing from turkey to grease. the numbers and the risks are beginning to rise once more. hurry, faucet al jazeera, it is really government has rejected. revisions requested by lebanon to the 2 countries disputed maritime borders. it's throwing into doubt, years of diplomatic efforts to enable both countries to extract gas in the mediterranean. john henderson reports from west jerusalem. it's 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. yeah,

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. zoe scott: this is the deal. the strengthens israel security and economy for the p starting production on the kerisha oil field. as soon as this month would mark a much needed economic and diplomatic victory ahead of the november 1st election and bring israel closer to energy independence for lebanon. splitting revenue from the neighboring conic ass field, would mean desperately needed income for an economy. so devastated that banks have closed after cash strapped customers resorted to carrying weapons to forcibly withdraw their own money. earned tremendous economic cur properly moment. and we want to have hospice naples, not neighbors. on the, on the verge of bankruptcy. there is an unofficial 3rd party in the mix, has been the iranian backed group in lebanon, whose leader has spoken favorably of the deal. that's

a dramatic change from the high tensions of june when the israeli prime minister threatened to begin gas production without a deal. and hes bella sent 3 drones to the carrier site, all shot down by israel, adding to a growing possibility of an armed confrontation with production platform sitting idly in the mediterranean in son, repeat, has little time to forger deal in time for it to help his chances in the november 1st is railey election. i think it's a good chance belgrade, nevada began dreading the only thing to do now is to turn on the tap, turn on the spirit and let the guess. well, if the 2 sides can agree that would clear the way for natural gas to start flowing from the israeli lebanon border in a matter of days, proving that economics could well bring a grudging co operation. where diplomacy is not john henderson, al jazeera west, jerusalem, and north korea has launched to short range ballistic missiles. they were fired on thursday morning from the samsung area and john yang towards the northeast. and

that comes after a longer range weapon was fired just 2 days ago. the prime minister of the solomon islands, manor se savari has been holding meetings with australian officials as the 2 pacific nations moved to mend relations. if come under strain after cigar, his government struck a security packed with china in april, erased the green energy is going too fast for some oil rich developing nations. nigeria is africa's biggest exporter of oil, and it isn't ready to let go of its huge reserves that have fueled its consumption and economic growth for for more than half a century, al jazeera is ahmed address reports from ball cool. this of show rig pumps oil and gas off the coast of nigeria for more than 60 years, petroleum has been the pillar of its economy. and for men, here, live without oil, is simply unimaginable. we know for sure that even by 2050 it wasn't. we're was

still a count for about 50 percent of energy or production into will not be that wasn't well is not going to go away, but to going to be competent to much more. kina enough? well, and that's really our focus. petroleum contributes more than half of nigeria budget, and more than 90 percent of its, forming its g jennings, expert, se, ditching, it could devastate the economy. the world banks has now years dependence on oil is greater than that of many other major producers. more than half of africa, 1300000000 people have no access to power. here in the figure is more than 45 percent of reaches. yes. and they want to increase access to electricity as personally by holding the countries oil and gas is also encourage growth. industry expert, st. africa's oil will still find a ready market on the continent. even if the rest of the world shuts its doors, africa needs energy. we are not selling energy outside because we don't need it. we

are selling energy also because we are miss, we have misplaced priorities. nigeria wants to be seen as playing its part in reducing global warming. 2 years ago. the government declared 2020 to 2030. as a decade of gas, a 10 year period to shift focus from oil and more to natural gas as a cleaner transition fuel. but that doesn't mean the country will abandon its 37000000000 barrels of crude oil reserves. altogether. how many trees al jazeera pot? how got i, neil know, has become the 1st frenchwoman to be awarded the nobel prize in literature. the author was recognized for her courage in writing about subjects. other writers wouldn't touch or rece reports from stockholm. 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 be 2022 laureate,

by the nobel committee in stockholm. the little 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 estranged once and collected restraints of personal memories. books such as a man's place and happening, deal with her working class routes, relationships with her parents and an illegal abortions she had in the 19 sixty's. 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 the metrics of women's freedom. her willingness to deal with difficult subjects was one attribute cited by the nobel committee. she is 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 teaches courageous woman and then we

have also no. busy motivation and though is just the 17th woman's received this prize alongside 102 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 the statistics historically, to pay catastrophic. but we can't put right what happens in the 1900s. there weren't many female researchers seen, but now we're on the way to a balance, and we don't have to strain ourselves. it's 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 year's winner comes in, is up to rush. i could go now. now this office feels go up. well, you could say a 1000 fold because they are often a no author's when so it's from 0 to 100 orders.
