kut at that is northeast of bangkok it appears that a soldier it's a good gun from his military base and opened fire at several locations now dozens of people later fled to safety as troops and police moved in facebook says it is removed the account of a suspect he posted on the network authorities say that the gunman is still at large inside the shop exacta and they're going to go to correspondent standing by for us in bangkok florian we understand that this situation is still developing but what more can you tell us at this stage. indeed the situation is very fluid right now we have shirts just a short while ago that special forces have and set them all up on the ground floor level they are now going through the different floors trying to secure everything just before we have seen dozens of people civilians coming out of the mall trying

to find shelter somewhere. it is believed that this shooter is still holed up in that basement off the shelf a mall so the situation is still going on for an hour thorton said anything about the attack and. yes we basically you know who he is it's 32 year old soldier and the thai army. he has been posting as you said he has been posting . everything on facebook on his facebook profile on sold out was shut down so it is quite clear who the man is we do not know what his motives are. he has posted some dubious for marks on his facebook page status. now authorities allege to believe that maybe there has been some land dispute issues what seems to be confirmed is that this man shots his commanding officer

and the mother in law of that commanding officer before he went on his shooting spree outwards so the identity of the man is long. and that was 1st in bangkok where the us media say that an american man has died of the corona virus the u.s. is died in a hospital in the chinese city of new hardware the outbreak 1st began now it is the 1st known corona related death of a non chinese person in china and here in europe in a french mountain town french authorities say that 5 british tourists been diagnosed with the virus the group includes a 9 year old child local authorities shut down 2 schools closed to the ski resort meanwhile france's foreign office now recommends that its distance do not travel to china. well in hong kong authorities are making a fresh effort to prevent the corona virus from spreading there just imposed a mandatory 2 we quarantine for anyone arriving from mainland china.

an unusual plea from hong kong's leader or who you say would go i would like to make an appeal to the public i know there are people in a position to buy a small number of mosques maybe 10020000 mosques if anyone has sources to buy them i appeal to them to donate them to those who are in need so you're young hong kong is desperate to contain coronavirus this is aerial footage of thousands lining up to face mass with some camping out overnight people are stocking up even hoarding food and medical supplies some countries have stopped exporting their stock of protective equipment all together with factories struggling to meet demand. when some plays short and the mondays high. then that would be but practice is like cold being in order to sell them on higher prices. and that's

why we are sports only dirty t. and poor people don't really understand what fighting an outbreak like this is hong kong is implemented menage or a quarantine measures for new arrivals anyone from mainland china must self quarantine either in her tells or their harms the subject to daily phone calls spot checks and even wearing tracking devices those who breach the new rules could face a hefty fine or even prison many rushed to meet the midnight deadline where the new measures came into effect. the medical staff in hong kong are overwhelmed they've been striking for days because they want the border with china shut completely escalating already high tension between the 2 countries. well here in germany and the state from here elected with votes from the far right alternative for germany has resigned 3 days off that taking office now the election

of thomas kenniff of the business friendly free democrats shot says a german post for political to bill against cooperating with. the mainstream conservatives in the state of their injure or so supporters his election triggering outrage that threatened to break up the chance that i'm going to back us coalition government out of crisis meeting him by length of conservatives in the social democrat party has agreed to push for a new election in the instant stakes. to walk us through all of this t w political correspondent kate brady joins me now kate i am with resigning at the coalition wants new state elections is that the solution to all of this well it certainly seems that we are going to see a new election. that demand has come from the highest position from the government governing coalition but it really doesn't seem that that might solve this problem it could still come to a very similar result we've been looking at some polls today and even now there is

one coalition that looks most likely and that's between the greens and the left posse and the social democrats now that would be very very close majority if they managed to make it over that 50 percent hurdle that said if they don't they need the support of the conservative c.d.u. and the problem which we saw here as well if we go back a few months is that the c.d.u. does not want to support dealing to the left parties it has its own links the former communist party of former east germany so they have their own issues with the link as much as they have issues with the far right a.f.p. so it could be that even after these new elections in within probably a couple of months time there could still be sat here very much like the politicians in. wringing our hands and wondering how do we go forward from here we might well indeed but for now who comes out worse from all of this well it certainly seems that it's the leader of the c.d.u. the leader of the conservative party and i click a.k.k.

has come out west here her authority this week has very much been brought into question and of course it was her party in india their decision to overstep the to step of the party line and cooperate with the far right a f t which started reading all of this this big debacle which is played on for the entire week and so this isn't really looking good for her candidacy ahead of the 2021 elections either she was hoping to follow in merkel's footsteps and be the candidate for the conservative party come next year's elections and she's already come up against a few obstacles in her time in the last few months as are the last year now. as the party leader and this could just be another problem which could be brought up by some of her rivals in the posse the next year and then race out even further kate i mean would you say in your assessment has this damaged democracy here in germany i

think germany has managed to save it so today with this decision and a very hardline stance and demands of what we needed but certainly a to boo has been broken here in germany this week with that cooperation between the conservative the middle ground conservatives and the far right a a f d and that will stay in people's memories for quite a while i think political correspondent kate brady making sense of it all for us kate thank you so much. when i say get it now some of the other stories making news around the world this hour of people in india's capital delhi have been voting in local elections it is the 1st poll test since the national government pos controversial citizenship bills from minister in their injuries hindu nationalist party is hoping to wrestle control of the delhi from the opposition the city's chief executive has campaigned for reelection on his record of the cribbing public services. all saudis and has extensive that at least 8 people have been killed
