welcome to the program. we begin in thailand, which is in morning after a former policeman went on a shooting and knife rampage at a day care center killing at least 38 people, including 23 children. the attacker was facing trial on drugs, charges. after leaving the preschool center, he went home and killed his wife and child of or taking his own life from oden tiny . in ne, in thailand, tiny cheng reports a row of bodies lined up outside a daycare center. in northeast and thailand, ambulances rushed to carry the wounded to local hospitals. grim aftermarket lima, the worst mass killing in recent ty, history. the children had just settled down for a midday rest. upon an agitated parent burst in, oh, he used his feet to kick the window,

then he shut the door. i thought he got inside. i ran to the kitchen behind. i was a shock. i didn't know what to do. he, according to the police, in the attack that followed $22.00 children and 2 adults were killed. after inspecting the crime scene, we found that the perpetrator tried to break him, but he mainly used the knife to commit the crime by killing a number of small children. while a few survived, i learned was the attack of flood. he left a trail of destruction in his wake taking up anything that got in his way, the main suspect to form a policeman. pontiac come rub, fired from his job and under trial for drug trafficking. local hospitals were overwhelmed, dealing with the wounded in the dead. this is a rural area where attacks like these are unknown. this darkness fell, investigators swarmed across the scene, trying to find clues as to what might have led to this murderous rampage. the bodies of the victims are now just flooding into it on tawny central hospital. but

the doctor say they're going to work through the night champ, performed the autopsies, so the bodies of the victims can be released to their founders for funeral rights to begin. on friday, an endless procession of caskets carried aloft by emergency volunteers. a final show of respect as thailand tries to come to terms with the massacre, it's claimed so many young lives turn. he sang joins as live now from outside a hospital where the victims have been taken at tiny. you've spoken to the health minister, what was said, and what more we now about the condition of survivors. he said there are 4 survivors being treated here on tony central hospital and he said, this was one small ray of light in what is a very grim mood here today. he said that of those 4 survivors, they had serious injuries. some of them were in critical condition yesterday, but by good fortune, there happened to be

a number of the neurological surgeons who were here, who were able to operate quickly. he said all for now out of danger, we understand. one of them was a 3 year old boy from, for, from the nursery. he had a serious stab wound to the head. he's now stable his grandmother, who was also there's still in a very serious condition, but as stable of that poor boy's mother, unfortunately, was killed in the attack. he did go on to address the question of guns and gun control. he said it was of a concern that in the last 2 years, thailand is seen to mass killing is conducted by service members in 2020. a serving soldier is won by a former policeman. but he said it was very difficult to control access to firearms . the people who are in these roles whose role is to protect the public. nonetheless, he said it was something they were looking at. and he also went on to say the or

tops is we're, we're starting at about 1 am this morning have now been completed on the 37 victims, all of whom, apparently in the mall in this hospital. not just horrible, horrible situation. tiny, any idea about mo, you said the attack? well, that's the preoccupation of the time media today. they're all looking at the, the fact that this was a home policeman had been dismissed from the force on drugs charges. yesterday he that he attended a trial where he was facing drug trafficking charges, that verdict should have come to day. again, very difficult to know how much of a role that played in his actions yesterday. i also asked the health minister about that. he said that the one autopsy they haven't yet completed is it toxicology report. on the ledge suspects. he said that should be completed within the hour and

might give them some clue as to what has happened, the suggested in the time meters. and this was a man who had a poor record of substance abuse, not just drugs, but alcohol as well. and the less, i think the question many people will be asked use, even if he did have abuse problems, substance abuse problems. what is it that could have says him, off such a murderous rampage given the large number of victims? typically, a large number of children who killed yes, plenty of questions that still need answer. thank you very much for your reporting tony. cheng lie for stay in thailand's. moving on now and ladies of european countries have formed a new alliance have been making in prague. it's been formed in response to the ukraine war and soaring energy costs. near pain political community is made up of 2070 you states and 17 other countries steadfast and has the details from the check capital. this gathering aim to show how isolated russia president has become. the

1st meeting of the european political community brought unlikely countries to gather like armenian as obey john, as well as candidates for you. membership like ukraine and the u. k. returning to the european stage, after breaks it, what we wanted to achieve in meeting here in prague is to bring together $44.00 sovereign states. which see europe as a single entity, whatever of that particular forms for political or others. to discuss among equals a sovereign states of problems that we face in common. that's exactly what we need . the group has no formal structure and some wonder if many more meetings will follow. so question know whether it's going to work or we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of 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, the same views, for example, on how to bring energy prices down. a thing to clear measures studio gas markets, the energy markets ish, that these 40 for leaders are completely aligned or, and have to joint. our vision to come up is measures to bring down the garages. they may agree on bringing down prices, but so far, no consensus has a merch on how to do this. package is costing hundreds of billions of euros to help cope with high energy costs. like the one announced by germany have led to friction, or all member states can take their own decision. we just indicate that some instruments and changes are which, which are proposed by some member states are very bad for the competition on of, on the, on the europe market. and we wanted to avoid it. and this is my,

i believe that we have to work out common solutions. a shared condemnation of russia's invasion and ukraine has brought together the leaders of the whole european continent here and proc, apart from russia and bellows. but besides sending a signal to president putin, they also want to show that they can come up with a common plan to deal with crippling energy prices. steadfast and al jazeera and proc officials in suede and have confirmed explosions caused last month's gas leak from the nordstrom pipeline in the baltic. st. moscow denies any involvement in no cause of the blas has yet been proven into being closely watched in no way the top gets applied to the european union and the u. k. jenna, how reports for muslim while european nato allies have focused on arming 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 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 concern 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 georgia is running out of options. they are. so what could they do? and to my mind going off to the end, if you infrastructure is one of 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 him my political weapon, and that is the export of gas to europe, which has been severely restricted. so it gives this ignore that. ok 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 north street 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, the european union is sending a civilian mission to mania to help in the border dispute with ends of my job. it comes up to more than $150.00 soldiers were killed in fighting last month. the violence was the worst since the neighbors went to war. in 2020 a year says the machine has been established after talks with the armenian prime minister. and as about johnny president, the us military says it's killed in isola vishal during an s strike and the

government controlled area of northern syria. us troops carried out the helicopter right near the village of ca. michelle lee on the border with turkey to other iso members were detained during the operation. still ahead on allison, a russian strike on the city declaration kills for people, including a child. and israel reportedly rejects changes 11 on requested to dropped agreement on a controversial maritime border. ah much cooler weather for the great lakes high for one good to have you with us. so temperatures knocked back to 10 degrees in toronto. this cooler air will eventually move toward the northeast in some showers as well. so here's how you're going to

start the weekend on saturday, new york, 14 boston down by about 10 degrees from friday right in to saturday. okay, back to the here and now to the west, we go higher temperatures here though for western candidate the pacific northwest. portland coming in at $28.00 and the sun's out also high temperatures in parts of california. that includes los angeles, that's above average for this sum of the year with the high $31.00 degrees. but more cloud cover in this part of the world. but temperature is still doing pretty good, further toward the south, up in st. louis, 16 degrees. that's what you would expect to see for this sum of the year, blanket it in rain, panama coaster rica, nicaragua, and honduras. and then we've got this that could cook up into something tropical. we've got our eye on it. also watching some storms bubble up around paraguay, pushing westward into the western amazon basin on friday. and all of that disturbed weather we had around the river plate region, southeast of brazil, bulk of that energy is off in the south atlantic on friday. that's

a snapshot of your weather. ah, the 18 months off the mia mars military. cool. the balance of power is shifting us thousands of pro democracy activists join forces with ethnic minority insurgents forming a united front to take all the military. people in power goes behind the scenes to reveal growing optimism that the coalition of people's defense forces could transform the country's future from mia mars. from flying on a jessina. lou ah,

hello your challenge is 0. i'm in language. he's a reminder of our top stories to salam thailand easing shock and morning after at least 30 people including 23 children, were killed in a gun attack. a former police officer facing a drugs charge attack to die k santa before killing his wife, child and himself. and ladies of $44.00 european nations have met in prague to discuss the fall out from russia's invasion of ukraine. their urging action on energy costs, which have sold since the war began. ukrainian us are, he say at least 4 people have been killed in russian strikes on residential buildings in the southern city of separation. the injured include a 3 year old child, ukraine's at foreign minister, has accused russia of deliberately striking civilian targets to so fee. moscow claims to have annexed to the region,

even though its forces to not control all of it. her abdel hamid reports from separation. it happened early morning when the city was still asleep. several missiles, frogs, a pretty jerk, bringing down to residential buildings in the matter of seconds, lives shattered memories of a lifetime. buried under the rubble. i was later rescue workers are still trying to find bodies through the toxic fumes and as they continued their work, ah, sending people an edge to run foot cover. they were another 3 loud explosions here in the city center. and they sounded very close to the places that were targeted earlier in the day. now, the air siren did not go off until after these explosions. we are told because the russians are using these s 300 missiles that go undetected,

is considered one of the most efficient anti aircraft missiles system. all go walk up to the sound of it. emotions come pouring out the worry about what's to come. russia says it has a next is a very jo region after a referendum illegal under international law, but it doesn't control the regional capital. that's why it's coming under attack. say any and said he, they fled the russian control part. they say the air strikes, i meant to scare people away from the city. most of the people here are russians. speakers, president vladimir putin says this war is in their name to protect them. but he couldn't protect them from the russian army, couldn't meet others you as a public joke and moscow. and mohammed val rather in moscow, he says the kremlin is offensive in the ukraine is coming under intense scrutiny

within russia. there is a lot of questions being asked here, russia, a lot of criticism level against the field commanders, the way the operation is being conducted. and the russians seem to be waiting for answers from the highest command in the land. but in the meantime, the keys are not talking about defeats. they are talking about tactics and a war that is going to continue for a long time until a chevy allies. it's goals. they speak sometimes about the history of this country . saying that hitler was also trying to occupy russia as well as a napoleon. and in both occasions, a russian troops ended up in berlin and parties. so they was talking about a long, a long, protracted fight until they achieve their goals to pakistan now,

which is still reeling from record flooding that killed $1700.00 people and cost the country around $40000000000.00. disease and damage to farming communities have prompted warnings of another, even deadly disaster in the coming weeks and months to come. as i'm a been job aid reports from jam. sure, 3rd of park, his son and the water, the you and calls it a monsoon and settle the this is floods draught, an unprecedented disaster being blamed on climate change. the economy was already in crisis, and now the government is appealing for debt relief and urging more help from the global community. i don't think driven to make the 3040000000000 that i've lost. but i think that, you know, there should be some measure of help whether it's the actual agency to give greater launched of august 5. whether it's, whether it's the country that i'm the right, some known to bug bomb take, you know,

take the risk, you know, and then, you know, getting charged bangs to give us loans, give us preference. and vanity has been sent a memo by nature. and that mental is gone via buck a son, and we waited a war against nature with burning up with that addiction to fossil fuels and no nature is region water. these waters might proceed in a few weeks or months, but climate change is here to stay. and millions of focused on ease at the risk of floods and router afraid that the world will once again forget about them and tell another one soon on steroids. the asian development bank has promised $2500000000.00 to help with rebuilding. the united nations has revised its humanitarian appeal for $81000000.00, but many in pakistan are questioning how aid is being distributed. if you send 100 plans under plans will take 1600 tons and tons to 1500 pounds at the max.

but our requirement is such, just to give you an idea, almost 13000000 population is effected. we are grateful for that aid, but require much more just to keep these people fed. the size of the water is so huge that if this water was there in portugal hall, portugal would be under water. whole equity would be under water. the color of the state of the us will be under water. the u. k would be under water and that, you know, should be no town without water, everybody would be drowning and it's whatever, it's 60 feet of water standing. so this is the kind of scale that we're, i, agriculture, education, health, roads, bridges, real tracks. everything has been effected, even if the government had the estimated $40000000000.00 to rebuild it could take years. and then the monsoon season is just a few months away from the job down to 0, jump short langston. and more in the story pakistan, the great sal huge,

it can be seen at 1630 james on friday. and again at 330 james on saturday here on, on to 0. us president joe biden has announced he's pardoning thousands of people convicted of marijuana physician under federal laws. he's also urging state governors to quash similar convictions made under state laws. she pretends he has moved from washington. they think we have this, this moved by the president to pardon those who were federally convicted of the simple possession of marijuana. but it must be pointed out that it's very rare for people to be convicted of a single charge of simple possession of marijuana. no one is going to be released from prison as a result of this, the white house says no one is currently serving a federal civil possession of marijuana charge. but, but the,

what the white house says they're hoping to do is for those who work, convicted or have in the past, been convicted of this charge and, and put in prison or jail. it will reduce of the hurdles they have once they're released as far as employment, housing and education for example. so that's why this isn't actually even expunged from that, from the criminal record that has to get to the course. but there is now an official presidential problem that the white house, because a relatively modest that has to be said for how many people they think are going to be affected by this. at least 6500 people, they think, but mostly thousands more here in dc because we don't fit under federal federal law here. so it's a, it's a $6500.00 plus people they think will be affected by this. in addition there, the president says he's urging state governance to issue similar pardons and it is the majority. the majority of possession offences occur in, in the states themselves. have over having said that there. when asked on a background cool white house administration official effectively admitted he's

actually going to do very much. this is it may she cross sees a democratic party strategist and former state policy directive, the pre trial justice in to jude in the us. she says the patterns are of limited scarp. this is not eradicate any violent. you know, violate charges are charges for, you know, anything involving a weapon or anything like that. this is simple. marijuana use and marijuana possession. those are 2 very different thing. again, 900 already legalized marijuana. they're making tax. you have more states that are actually using medical marijuana. 38, they actually have that if a medical marijuana walking cardholder, i could speak to the importance of medical marijuana for several health issues that are, you know, extremely costly and pharmaceutical drugs. the medical marijuana can take care of in and of itself. with that being said, it is not something that is used in criminality. we know that we know that there are several mir marijuana users who are ceo, company, who are teachers,

who are doctors, who are lawyers and productive members of society every single day. and it's just that, that, that is a all narrative and this is not contributed from now with the, you know, at least 17 people have died when a boat capsized off the coast of the great island of less bus overnight. because god says it was carrying at least 40 people trying to migrate to europe. a 2nd boat was lost for the south in a similar incident. as harry forces reports in darkness to survive as 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. rescue as try to bring another man to safety with a life belt. but in russ season with little purchase, he falls back into the water. incredibly rescue has managed to save 80 people in the dark in 70 kilometer now winds. this of i was abroad to

a nearby school to welcome shelter and rest. several had travelled from afghanistan, they said the captain had lost his way. the boat swept onto the rocks. it was a small ship, not for all these people to be there about 5 people. but the ship brought jess for the woman. young man couldn't do anything for him. we thought just how the hundreds of kilometers to the east on the island of les, both, there were similar scenes, a dingey carrying around 40 people, had capsized in the heavy seas. images from the hospital showed some of those rescued young women from africa. the greek government praised emergency crews for saving so many and for up was for if can people who it is run by senseless smugglers into the raging waters, the gnc on both that do not make any safety standards, such

a responsible behavior. and at the same time, the misdemeanors of turkey from whose stores these boats, setting sail, unfortunately lead to tragedies with years of cathedral on thursday. grim evidence of the overnight tragedy among the wreckage, a number of bodies. the turkish government has recently accused greece of using its ships to turn back migrant boats, endangering lives after shop 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, the rise to grain. energy is going too fast for some oil which developing nations, nigeria is africa's biggest exposure of oil. and it isn't ready to let go of its huge reserves that have fueled its consumption and economic growth for more than half a century. me out a series of egypt reports from port harcourt. this off shall 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 i wasn't where it was still a count for about 50 percent of energy and production into what that means. that wasn't well, it's not going to go away. but to going to become better too much more cleaner enough. well, and that's really our focus. petroleum contributes more than half of nigeria budget, and more than 90 percent of its sporting it's jennings, expert, se, ditching, it could devastate the economy. the world bank says nigeria dependence on oil is greater than that of many other major producers. more than half of africa, 1300000000 people have no access to power in that area. the figure is more than 45 percent of vicious. yes. and they want to increase access to electricity as personally by talking the countries. portland gas is also encourage growth.
