problem in the deep south of tal and 3 southernmost provinces where the muslim majority of muslim population is trying to break away or get more independence from bangkok but these incidents some shootings there have usually been quite isolated and confined to this area a mass shooting in the rest of thailand especially of this scale we haven't seen. now florian and what do we know about the attacker and a possible motive. well the prime minister also said that as for the motive that there apparently was a dispute over the sale of a house and apparently this this sale involved a relative of the gunman's commanding officer rumors say it was his mother in law stand this quarrel had been going on for 3 days this is the newest

information that we've been hearing but nobody expected him to you know to go on this shooting rampage but as for the motive apparently it was over the sale of a how it's now we're also hearing that social media played a role in the attack florian what can you tell us about that. yes before his profile had been shut down by facebook he had been able to post live pictures and videos of his rampage on his facebook profile so. there is a lot of criticism here now towards facebook that they didn't suspend his profile earlier but also. because of the general public that actually shared those sometimes gruesome pictures on the internet so. i think this debate will go on and even professional media companies have to maybe

revise their policies because also they sometimes during last night used this live footage from the perpetrator and put it a national television all right florian 1st reporting from bangkok we thank you very much. turning now to china where authorities say the death toll from the corona virus has now passed the 800 mark that means the disease has now killed more people than the deadly sars outbreak 2 decades ago almost all the reported deaths and most of the new infections are in the chinese province of who by where the corona virus was 1st discovered bought the virus has also been appearing outside mainland china and hong kong authorities are making a fresh effort to keep the corona virus from spreading they've imposed a mandatory 2 we quarantine for anyone arriving from the mainland. at an unusual

plea from hong kong's leader or who you say would go out 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 of punk kong is just great to contain coronavirus this is aerial footage of thousands lining up for a face masks 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 altogether with factories struggling to meet demand. when some plays short and monday's high. that could be but practice is like ordering in order to sell them on prices. and that's why we

are sports. and for people to really understand what fighting an outbreak like this is hong kong has implemented mandatory quarantine measures for new arrivals anyone from mainland china must solve quarantine either in hotels or their homes and they're subject to daily phone calls spot checks and. when wearing tracking devices. those breached the new rules could base a hefty fine or even prison many rushed to meet the midnight deadline when the new measures came into effect medical staff in hong kong are overwhelmed they've been striking for days because they want the border with china shut completely. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world exit polls from ireland's general election point to a tie between the 3 largest parties incumbent prime minister leo barta cars party is tied with a left wing nationalist schon fein and the center right fianna foil frustration
