thailand is in morning after a stabbing and shooting attack by a former policeman and a day care center hills at least 37 people. 23 of them children. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up a summer of european leaders warns urgent action on energy costs is needed before winter sets in with soaring prices used in ukraine. rule you as president joe biden orders pardons of people convicted in federal courts of marijuana possession. we look at what's behind the decision. and frances, any erna wins the noble literature prize with her writing, praised for its bravery in tackling sensitive topics.

ah, welcome to the program. we begin in thailand, which is in morning after a former policeman went on a shooting a knife rampage and a day care center killing at least 37 people, including 23 children. the attacker was facing trial on drugs, charges. after leaving the preschool sent him, he went home and killed his wife and child before taking his own life from a road on turning in north east and child and tony 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. a grim aftermath, the worst mass killing in recent ty, history. the children had just settled down for a midday rest. oberlin 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 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 in 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 bodies of the victims are now just flooding into it on tawny central hospital. but

the doctor, so they're going to work through the night, cham 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 aloft by emergency volunteers. a final show respect is tyler and chose to come to terms with the massacre. it's claimed so many young lives 8 found tiny chang at shortly, or he'll be outside the child care center where that horrific incident unfolded. moving on now and ladies of european countries who formed a new alliance have been meeting in prague. it's been established in response to the ukraine war and soaring energy costs. the european political community is made up of 27, a new states, and 17 other countries. that vessel reports from the chick capital. this gathering

aim to show how isolated russia's 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 e u 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 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 form of 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

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 for action. 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 you 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 and proc. if he shows in sweden have confirmed explosions caused last month gas lake from the nordstrom pipelines in the baltic thing must go denies . any involvement in no cause of those blasts has been proven. incident has been closely watched in norway, the top gas supply to the european union, and you can join a home reports from offline. 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 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 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 energy 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 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 this ignore that. ok if you continue supporting ukraine as you do well, we have the options to actually cut your gas applies 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 traffic 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 under c internet cables. they can't possibly protected all go to whole al jazeera, also ukraine authorities say at least 4 people have been killed in russian strikes on residential buildings in the southern city of zapper regime. a 3 year old child is among those injured, ukraine's foreign minister has accused russia of deliberately striking civilian targets to so if fear moscow claims to have annexed the range, and even though it's forces don't control all of it. harder 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 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 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 attacks. they 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. and the russian army couldn't meet others. you know that pudding. and mohammed val is in moscow and says the military is 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 40s are not talking about defeats. they are talking about tactics and a war that is going to continue for a long time onto 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 in napoleon. and in both occasions, a russian troops ended up in berlin and parties. so they was talking about a long along protracted fight until they achieve their goals. still a hands on al jazeera pakistan take stock of the damage and live lost in record flooding. and what happens next? ah,

ah, 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, q weights at 43 temperatures have come down a bit in doha, at $37.00 degrees. and at times, over the course of the weekend, those winds will be coming off the gulf. 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, temperature is 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 odd shower into boxes. with the high of 23, we got ranger swirling around this part of turkey year from it's stumbled on tale to ankara and then breezy conditions through the boss. first image,

the aegean and eastern med assemble and athens could see windows in the cities of about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour when it's weather really western areas of the democratic republic of congo through gab on into camera room. and it's about d 6. if the heat wave in south africa is 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. ah, the witness inspiring films from around the world. they shall not stop the violence and killed the power is, bears witness intimate portraits and epic struggles. because leadership is often not just the people witness the human spirit and bitter reality. there are still men will believe. women are property witness award winning voices telling groundbreaking stories. witness on al jazeera

lou. ah ah. hello. are you watching out 0? i'm emily anglin. he's a reminder of our top stories. this. our ladies of 44 european nations have met in prague to discuss the fallout from russia's invasion of ukraine, the urging action on energy costs, which have swords since the war began. and thailand is in shock and morning after at least 37 people, including 23 children, were killed in a gun attack. a former police officer facing a drug charge went on a rampage at a daycare center before killing his wife, child, and himself. let's bring in elgin there is tiny chang who joins us live now from

mertz high land attorney. you've arrived at the child care center, the scene of these horrific attacks describe what's happening there. well, it's really a does a huge commotion around here at the moment. thousands of people come in, the traffic is backed up a new all the little streets leading into this area. there's a district office in this school you can see behind me, which is a little, a waste of calm, in frankly, the chaos that has surrounding it. there are lots of district offices in best. the gate is here, the international media, the local media. and some people have just come up with there was a woman who came up to just to place a small offering outside the gate to think this is a story that has touched many people very profoundly. people are interested to see what's out. they would also want to think, show their condolences for the parents who are also here. many of the parents have

remained here outside the school where expecting a visit from the ty prime minister later this afternoon. and the king of thailand is expected to visit the seasoning. we think that at a certain stage the bodies of the victims the, the autopsies have already been completed. they will be returned to the families later on this afternoon to be brought back here. and then the process of funeral rights can begin, but at the moment, thanks. k, everybody waiting for the prime minister and a lot of commotion ahead of that visit in de tony. and you've spoken to the health minister what's being said about the conditions. if survivors yes, we spoke to him earlier this morning and he said that is one very slim sliver of hope. in what has been holding 24 hours. there were 4 people who survived.

and he said when they arrived in hospital yesterday, they were in very bad shape. but he said thanks to the expert medical attention that they've had since they been able to. so say that there was some, a specialist neurologists in the area who were able to operate one young boy. he is 3 years old. he had been in this day care center, had had a nasty gash wound to the head. he is now stable. his grandmother was also in critical condition, is also stable. sadly, his mother died inside this building, but they, he said that, you know, there is still a hope what these people that, that they will recover. they are now stable, but also they are working hard to try and find out the motive for this crime. he said the toxicology report from the suspect should be coming out in

a couple of hours and he hopes that my shed some light or what sent this man into such a murderous rage. yes, indeed. let's hope so. thank you very much for the update. tony chang covering that event for us in thailand 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 weeks and months to come. as some have been jervey reports from jam. shara, a 3rd of pocket sun and the water, the you, and called it a monsoon, and settle the. this is floods brought 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 there should be some measure of help whether it's the actual agency to give greater launch vargas on whether it's multiple other countries that underwrite some notion of august on take, you know, take the risk, you know, and then, you know, giving charged banks to give us loans, give us back ranch and then humanity 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 focus on needs at the risk of floods and router afraid that the world will once again forget about them until another one soon on. steroids hits them. 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, whole 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 tracks. 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 backs done to the us where president joe biden has announced his pardoning. thousands of people found guilty of marijuana position in federal court is also urging state governors to quash similar convictions made under state laws. she had pretended reports from washington, d. c. 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 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 the way 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 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 issues similar pardons and it is the majority. the majority of possession offences occur in, in the states themselves have over having said about their when asked on a background cool white as the ministration official effective admitted. he's actually going to do very much. and this is in the us military says it's kill the senior iso member in a government controlled area of north east and syria. us troops carried out

a helicopter right in the village of commercially on the border with turkey to other iso members were killed in a separate strike in the north of the country. the united nations rights council has voted down a motion to debate, alleged human rights abuses in china's shinji young province. 19 countries were against the resolution. with 17 backing it. it's the only, it's only the 2nd time in the councils, 16 year history. a motion has been defeated, china has been accused of committing crimes against humanity on weight muslim minorities in issues. john, indonesia, khattab, the united arab emirates, and pakistan are among those who rejected the motion. it have been tabled by nations including the united states, canada, and the u. k. these rally gazande has rejected, were visions requested by lebanon to a u. s. bracket planned to and then maritime bought a dispute that's throwing into das years of diplomatic efforts to enable both

countries to extract gas from the mediterranean. say, john hendrick 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, it agreed. the u. s. brokered pact is too profitable not to sign, but on thursday, israeli prime minister. yeah, your la peed 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 a deal that strengthens his ro, security and economy for le peed 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 con, a gas 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. owed a tremendous economic cur properly moment. and we want to have hospice, naples, not naples on the on verge of bankruptcy. there is an unofficial 3rd party in the mix, has been the iranian backed group in lebanon, whose leader has spoken favourably 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 sun. la pete has little time to afford your deal in time for it to help his chances in the november 1st is railey election. i think it's

a good chance by way the voted gun drilling. the only thing to do now is to turn on the tap tunnel, the spigot, 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 french over any unarmed has won the nobel prize in literature for her works. blending fiction and autobiography, the author was recognized for her courage in writing about difficult personal subjects, including having an abortion poor race reports from stock on this was a low key 1st appearance by on the l. no. on the day she received the highest honor in literature, a brief wave outside her home and a parish suburb, just after she had been named be 2022 laureate, by the nobel committee in stock. literature for

also. busy motivation and now 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 wide range of office, fewer to the western world, and more to women. when they get the statistics historically, you pay catastrophic, but we can't put right what happened 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 her 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 feels go up. well, you could say a 1000 fold because they are often a know authors when so it's from 0 to 100 orders. as soon as it's a noun at age 18.
