thailand is him morning after a stabbing and shooting attack by a former policeman at a daycare center kills at least 38 people. 23 of them children. ah, hello, i'm in leanne. gwen. this is al jazeera alive from dough house, coming up, as summit of european leaders were warns urgent to action on energy costs is needed before winter sets in with soaring prices due to the ukraine. the u. s. president hans, our pardons for marijuana possession we look at what's behind the decision. i'm at least 18 people drown at 30 a missing and others rescued after 2 boats carrying migrants capsize off the coast of greece. ah,

welcome to the program. we begin in thailand, which is in morning after a former policeman went on a ship shooting a knife rampaged at a daycare 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 before taking his own life from owed on tawny. in ne, in thailand, tony cheng reports a row of bodies lined up outside a daycare center. in northeastern thailand, ambulances rushed to carry the wounded to local hospitals. a grim aftermarket, 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 shot at 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, and 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 fled. he left a trail of destruction in his wake taking out 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 and the dead. this is a rural area where attacks like these are on known. as darkness fell, investigators swarmed across the scene, trying to find clues as to what might have led to this murderous rampage. the

borders of the victims are now just flooding into it on tiny central hospital, but the doctor, so they're gonna work through the night champ, performed the autopsies. so the bodies of the victims can be released to their founders, a funeral rights to begin on friday. and endless procession of caskets carried lost by emergency volunteers. a final show of respect is tyler chose to come to terms with the massacre. it's claimed so many young lives and annie chang received an update on the situation from thailand's health minister. well, you 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 sir, 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 the search for it from the nursery. he had a serious stab wound to the head. he's now stable his grandmother, who was also there is still in a very serious condition, but it's stable to 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 that it was of a concern that in the last 2 years, thailand had seen 2 mass killings conducted by service members in 2020 serving soldier, this one 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 publish. nonetheless, he said it was something they were looking at. and he also went on to say the autopsies was started about 1 am this morning have now been completed on

the 37 victims, all of whom apparently in the mall in this hospital made is of european countries who formed a new alliance have been meeting in prague, it's been established in response to the ukraine war and story energy costs. the european political community is made up of 27, a new states, and 17 other countries. step accident reports from the check capital. this gathering aim to show how isolated russia as president has become the 1st meeting of the european political community brought unlikely countries to gather like armenian, as of a john, as well as candidates for you. membership like ukraine and the u. k. returning to the european state, 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 the 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, go. we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of european union. so the idea is to discuss the combination 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 measure studio gas markets, the energy markets ish, that these 40 for leaders are completely aligned or, and have to join tradition to cooperate measures to bring down the gas prices. 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 flat to friction or all member states can take their own decision. we just indicate that some instruments and answer 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 always 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 tyrann 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. step, fasten al jazeera in. proc officials in sweden have confirmed explosions caused

at last month ghastly from the north stream. pipeline in the baltic, saint moscow denies any involvement in no cause of those blas has been proven. the incident is being closely watched in norway, the top gas supply to the european union and the u. k. as journal how reports from august, 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. and the 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 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 meet 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 guys to europe, which has been severely restricted. so it gives the signal of that. ok if you continue supporting crean 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 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. also the rise to grain energy is going

too fast for some oil which developing nations, nigeria is africa's biggest export her of oil. and it isn't ready to let go of it. huge reserves that have fuel consumption and economic growth for more than half a century. i'll just, there is an interest reports from port harcourt. this of show rick pumps oil and gas off the coast of jet in for more than 60 years. petroleum has been the pillar of it economy, and for many here, live without oil, is simply unimaginable. we know for sure that even by 2050 person was still account for about 50 percent of energy production into what that means. that wasn't where it's not going to grow it, we're going to be come back to much, martina 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 jeff jennings, experts say ditching,

it could devastate the economy. the world bank says no. juris dependence on oil is greater than that of many other major producers. more than half of, of because 1300000 people have no access to power. here in the printer is more than 45 percent of resource usa. they want to increase access to electricity as virtually by holding the conference, borland, yas, resources to encourage growth. industry expert, st. africa's oil will still find a ready market and the content 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 it to 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 bottles of could all result altogether. poverty grease al jazeera pot target. the european union is sending a civilian mission to armenia to help in the border dispute with as of. and john, it comes after more than $150.00 soldiers were killed and fighting last month. a violence was the worst since the neighbors went to war. in 2020 a year says emission, has been established, often talks with the armenian prime minister. and as a by johnny presidents, the u. s. military says it's killed and i still official during an air strike and a government controlled area of northern syria. u. s. troops carried out the helicopter right near the village of commercially on the board with turkey to other iso members were detained during the operation. still, hands on al jazeera, a russian strike that he,

residential buildings and the city zappa ratio kills of people. and pakistan take stock of the damage and lives lost in reco flooding and asks what happens name? ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the where you read. i went to my castle anyways. here's your weather update in a minute 15. good to have your long so still some temperatures in the forty's in this part of the world's q weights at 43 temperatures have come down a bit in doha, at 37 degrees. and at times, over the course of the weekend, those winds will be coming off the goal. so that means once again, the humidity is going to bump in, in a good indication is when you see that temperature lower, the humidity usually starts to go up, up and down pakistan, temperatures pretty well where they should be for this time, the year jacob,

a bad at $37.00 degrees, but where we've got temperatures above average is in iran. tate on at $28.00 degrees. i think it's going to stay dry. there. you see the shower into boxes with a high of 23 and we got rain just swirling around this part of turkey. yeah. from it's stumbled on tale to ankara and then breezy conditions through the boss. first stage, the aegean and the eastern med assemble and athens could see wind gusts in the cities of about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. what is the weather really western areas of the democratic republic of congo through gab on into camera room? and it's about d, 6 of the heat wave in south africa, northeast. and look, this heat is also infiltrating parts of southern botswana. habit roney, up to 30 degrees. i'll see you in a bit. the weather sponsored by cattle and i was jumping to the street when no topic is off the table. i don't think that anybody should be born to privilege to them for dinner. the day. we are the subjects of the royal

family to that one person's opinion, but what's yours? amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption. we're a global audience, becomes a global community. the scariest part of this moment in my country is this toys for a more weapon? the st. oh now j 0. ah oh. hello, you're watching out a 0. i'm emily ang, when he is a reminder of our top stories this, our thailand is in 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 attacked a daycare center before killing his wife, child, and himself. and ladies of 44 european nations have met in prior to discuss the fall lab from russia's invasion of ukraine. their urging action on energy costs, which had sold it since the war again to ukraine. now, where authorities say at least 4 people have been killed in russian strikes on residential buildings in the southern city of san parisha. the injured include a 3 year old child, ukraine's foreign minister has accused russia deliberately striking civilian targets to so fee. moscow claims to have annexed the regent, even though its forces do not control all of it. hotter abdel hamid reports from separation. it happened early morning when the city was still asleep. several missiles, frogs, a pretty job, bringing down to residential buildings. in a matter of seconds, lives shattered memories of

a life done. buried under the rubble. i was leisure. rescue workers are still trying to find bodies through the toxic fumes and as they continued their work with sending people an edge to run full 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 as 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. lou, worry about what's to come. russia says it has

a next is apple. read your 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 anyone said he, they fled the russian control part. they said the air strikes are meant to scare people away from the city. most of the people here are russian speakers. president vladimir putin says this war is in their name to protect them, but he couldn't protect them from the russian army. without the hamid others either as a preacher and mohammed val is in moscow, he says the gremlins offensive in ukraine is coming under intense scrutiny within russia. there is a lot of questions being asked here. russia, a lot of criticism leveled 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 authorities are not talking about defeats. they are talking about tactics and a war that is going to continue for a long time. on to sherry 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 napoleon. and in both occasions, a russian troops ended up in berlin and parties, so they are talking about along along protracted fight until they achieve their goals to the us. now, where president joe biden has announced he's pardoning thousands of people convicted of marijuana position under federal laws. he's also urging state governors to quash similar convictions made on the state laws. she have returns, he has more from washington dc. 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 is 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 selling a federal simple 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 his charge and put in prison or jail, it will reduce some of the hurdles they have once they're released. as far as employment, housing, an 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 public, the white house because a relatively modest it has to be said for how many people they think are going to be affected by this. at least 6500 people, they think. but actually thousands more here in dc because we are in fact under federal federal law here. so it's a, it's

a $6500.00 plus people that i 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 as the ministration official effective admitted, he's actually going to do very much. this is it. pakistan is still reeling from record flooding. men killed $1700.00 people in cost the country around $40000000000.00. disease and damage to finding communities have prompted warnings of another, even deadly disaster in the weeks and months to come. and some have been ga reports from jam. sure. 3rd of pocket sun and the water the you and called it a monsoon and settle 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 launch of august 5, whether it's multi, it's, you know, other countries that underwrite some known to vargas on take, you know, take the risk, you know, and then, you know, giving charged banks to give us loans. give us preference of great vanity has been sent a memo by nature. and that memo has come via buck a son. and we waited a war against nature with burning up with that addiction to fossil fuels, and no nature is reaching a lot of these waters. my proceed in a few weeks or months. but climate change is here to stay, and millions of pock assignees at the risk of floods and router afraid that the world will once again forget about them until another month 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 hole, portugal would be under water. whole equity would be under water. the color of the state of the us will be under water agriculture, education, health roads, bridges, real cracks. everything has been effected. even if the government had the estimated

$40000000000.00 to rebuild it could take years. and another monsoon season is just a few months away from a job without the 0 job. sure. like stun. and for more on this story you can watch the great jell huge at 1630 james pay on friday and at 330 james on saturday. right . he on al jazeera at least 17 people have died when they board capsized off the coast of the great island of lead boss overnight. the coast guard says it was carrying at least 40 people trying to migrate to europe. the 2nd boat was lost further south in a similar incident. as harry faucet were full in darkness to survive as of a ship wreck, clean to the cliff face below. passengers try desperately to hold onto the rocks below. these terrifying scenes unfolding on the shore of the greek rescue as
