a shooting and thailand leaves more than 30 dead, including more than 20 children. as the man opens fire in a daycare set, glass russian rocket flam into homes in the ukrainian city of the please. yes. rescue a search for survivors. as authorities say, some residents are trapped under the rubble. leaders for more than 40 countries gather in prague for the 1st meeting of the new european political community. but what does this organization stand for and what kind of to cheat? ah, this is dw news. i'm go ahead elfaire, welcome. b swedish academy in stockholm as awarded this year's noble prize in literature to the french author on the knoll annoys a professor of literature as well as

a rides it. she was born in 1940 and grew up in normandy, literary work as mostly autobiographical, maintains closed links with so she ology the chair and as also explained some of the reasons why the swedish academy shows and all for this years award. and the norm was born in 1914 and grew up in the little town of eve tore in normandy, her setting was poor, but ambitious ad in her ever she consistently explores the experience of alive, marked by great disparities regarding gender language and class. i literally left leading with a class experience. andrew background began early as memory project with ambition, a widening of the boundaries of literature beyond fiction. in the narrow sense, any tick construction of the past, it leans on my cell posts. i left a substitute,

don't pell d, but he guides the search in an entirely new direction. despite a consciously plain literary style, he declares that he is em, quote ethnology st of herself, and good, rather than a writer of fiction. well, for more on this, i'm no jumper, david levitz from d. w called so david, tell us a bit more about this is when i me avenue has a good, it's the novelist job to tell the truth. certainly that's what she thought to do across her work, which is all mining of her own autobiography as we just heard. some really, a key points in her career have been her 2008 book. the years later, i near which launched her to international renown. this is a, the story of a woman. it's told in the 3rd person that it's very clearly her from the time in france after the 2nd world war up until the early 2, thousands and it shows the shifting of french society through one life another,

another book of hers that made a lot of gotten a lot of attention is her 2000 novel happening about her own abortion that she had at the age of 23 at a time when that was illegal and france, and frankly quite dangerous. and the film version of that book at one the, the top honor at the venice film festival last year. she's also written about her relationship with her parents. her own bout with breast cancer, her mother's death and her affair with a russian diplomat. so she minds a lot of very personal details that a lot of authors may write about, but not in such a public and personal way. she is also, by the way, the 17th woman to win prize and the 17th author from france, france, the country with the most nobel prizes in literature thus far. okay, so the, this was much a speculation ahead of time who will get it this time. and there's always, did you never know whether it's going to be

a rather obscure pick or somebody famous? and this year, the san rusty was, it was a band around as well as michelle. we're back. she is more obscure. she certainly more obscure than those 2, although i have to say she's not that obscure. she's this is the 1st time in years that we at dw, have had pictures of the laureate, ready to go. so that hasn't been the case in the last years. we've been caught totally by surprise. she was actually the favorite to win last year. although it seems that she herself didn't expect that she wasn't by the phone when the swedish academy tried to call her this morning. but it seems that she has found out by now that the she is this years laureate, but you're right it's, it's really unpredictable. and actually i think that they like to keep it unpredictable. so the, the word about rush d for this year was he survived this knife attack this year. it would have been a very symbolic award for him to get it a sign of support for freedom of speech. that is true. i personally believe the moment that people start talking, but this person is going to get it. you can,

you can almost forget it. okay, thank you very much. david live, it's a d w culture. i'm going to tile an hour more than 30 people. mostly children have been killed in an attack at a daycare center. it happened in the town of long jew are long full in the countries north east. a man wielding a gun and a knife is said to have entered the nursery and opened fire before later taking his own life. time prime minister has described the incident as horrifying. sophomore that let's turn to journalist jacob goldberg and thailand's capital bank . or jacob, can you describe what happened at the trial cause that or what do we know? yes, it's been a dark day in thailand and i'll just recount some of what type police have reported . so far, so it started when they were around 30 preschool students not being around midday

in this pre school in northeastern thailand and a man came in who seemed agitated and he reportedly began searching for his own child. and when he realized his child wasn't there, he opened fire on several teachers including one teacher who was 8 months pregnant . and i believe say that people on the scene who does gunshots said that they thought they were fired 1st. and the gunman went on to force himself into the room where the children were sleeping and began attacking them with a knife. and he also attack several children and adults at a nearby government office and then took his truck to his own neighbourhood, where he also killed several people, including his own wife and his child, and then towards his truck. and overall, the death toll stands at $36.00 people, including himself and his wife and child. and that also includes $23.00 children according to what i've last seen. and there been video circulating on social media,

showing the relatives of victims gathering at the preschool and coming to terms with what's happened and it's, it's very difficult to watch jacob, what else do we know about the gunman at his possible motive so far? and i don't think police have identified a particular motive, but they released some information about the ledge done when they say that he was a 34 year old police officer who had been suspended from the forest last month or. busy allegedly selling drugs and they also police also said that he had attended a court hearing earlier today before he began is killing me. journalist jacob goldberg, the reporting from coke. thank you very much. so thank you. as of look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today,

japan and south korea have condemned north. korea's recent missile tests chung on earlier fired to more ballistic missiles into its eastern waters until warplanes near the border. thick with the south from sol, scramble plains and conducted naval drills with the u. s. current in response to sort of broken thousands of people in indonesia have joined a vigil. 4 victims of one of foot balls worth disasters more than $100.00 fans were killed in a stampede at the stadium. in the city of milan, president, yoko of widow has ordered an inspection of all football grounds and payments to the families of the dead. wow. to the war in ukraine, our russian missiles have struck residential buildings in the southern city of brazil. the governor of the region, which is mostly occupied by russia says at least one person was killed in the dorm strikes and several injured, including a 3 year old child rescue crews are racing to free residence,

thought to be still trapped under the rubble of these attacks come as russian forces suffer fresh defeats with ukraine, continuing to retake territory in the south and in the east. the ukrainian flag going up again in a recaptured village in the hockey region according to the proper for just one of many places back under ukrainian control. as a result of recent advances, the blue and yellow flag is also back flying overhead here in the strategic eastern city of la man as locals q for aid ukrainian troops re took the key hub in the dynette screeching over the weekend. just hours after rushes, president putin announced the illegal annexation of the whole region. signs of the fierce battle fought here recently, as well as the months of russian occupation are everywhere. with russian

troops forced to retreat here and across the south and east. and with a chaotic military mobilization sparking widespread criticism, putin said that changes will be made to the conscription rules for students are villa. but despite all the recent setbacks, moscow hasn't lost its power to strike far beyond the front lines. as residents of this city, just 85 kilometers south of keith were reminded on wednesday due shippers who were come to a buzzing sound. i woke up at a heard that sounds getting closer and closer. one of sibley and somewhere in my house it exploded. according to officials, at least 6 so called can a kazi drone struck buildings including an army base in the area, injuring one person. while moscow has ramped up its use of suicide, drones,

which keith claims are a rainy and made since september. wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukrainian capital. and earlier i spoke to did have a correspondent mateus bellingham. he is in username and southern ukraine. i asked him about the russian forces which are on the run from advancing ukrainian forces in his up alicia. yeah we've, we've seen in the past few days the ukrainians have been able to advance quite a bit and that russians have retreated in many areas in the old list. and that has one region knows and part of the one region, and also in the east, in the guns and hockey regions. russia has replied to these losses by firing again on the city of set up. what is your this morning? server rockets have hit apartment buildings. this is a pattern that we're seeing that whenever russia is under pressure,

they fire on cities often on civilian objects on just apartment buildings on residential areas, mostly on the city of hark. if nikolai comes up with that are near the front lines in the past few days, we've also seen these jones. while attacks with mid range miss isles interpreter is deeper into ukraine, have receded, they don't just don't seem to be as abundant as they were. these rockets, they have acquired these loitering munitions that they can fly deep into ukrainian territory and ukrainian. eddie pens hasn't really figured out how to meet them yet . they fly, fly very low. so they're under the radar. often ukraine has shot some of them down, but a quite a few of them also get through the differences. d. w of respondents of martinez, billing of their reporting. the opaque plus oil council has announced a major cotton production meeting in vienna. the group on the world's top all

produces, which is led by saudi arabia, agreed to cut out foot by $2000000.00 barrels a day from november. the decision is expected to raise prices at a time when much of the world is struggling with storing energy costs. it could also undermine g. 7 tends to reduce rational revenues being used to finance it's war in ukraine. hello, i spoke to cynthia bianco from the european council on foreign relations and i asked her if she was at all surprised. but opec's decision, i wasn't necessarily surprised just because the, the saudis had been talking about this possibility for a couple of weeks already. and the americans had been trying to put the saudis off before for several days already. so it was in the air and also it was the pre logical follow up to the fact that despite president bite in visiting saudi arabia and to a great extent, sort of getting a lot of political toxicity for that visit. the saudis were really not happy with

the outcome and with what sort of the americans d i d l a u. s. saudi partnership that the americans has ad brought forward to so there wasn't much love lost there. now we all picked decision terms of ours, of the european union agreed to a us plan for a price cap on russian oil exports. are these 2 decisions linked somehow? i mean, they could be linked to, to expand that opec plus includes russia. so of course, you know, the russians have to be on board to when a decision is taken at the open plus level. but i do think that the price comp is just one of the many technical arguments that the saudis are throwing around in the discourse. just not to admit the fact that it is, was a very political decision. and the matter of the fact is that sadly we as europeans really can, can only count on ourselves on each other. and we really should stick together in close ranks because it's a very, it's

a shark tank out there in the energy world. now one, the veteran oil analysts says that by siding with russia, saudi arabia has, quote, set opec on a collision course with the free world. would you agree? i definitely think that there is a lot of anger and frustration in the white house. and i definitely think that we can expect some sort of reaction from, from washington d. c. and it's, you know, it's clear that the saudis, in particular, have seen so far, no value in sort of sticking out and supporting the u. s. and europe in particular, against russia in this very burning question of energy. so definitely, you know, there's, there's some collision coming up, i think from a european point of view, our real problem is that we have to come to terms with the fact that the americans can no longer exert the leverage that we expect them to have on saudi arabia for example, that has also served our interest because it has served stability in the oil market

. the middle east, douglas center, bianca. thank you very much for joining us on. did of you news? thank you very much for having me. more than 40 leaders from around europe on prague for the 1st meeting of the new european political community. this european union initiative will bring together you leaders with countries beyond the blocks borders. those include britain, turkey, ukraine, switzerland, and norway, meeting to explosive europe. battles and energy crisis and economic term, or that has been worsened by russia's war in ukraine. this is where the european union's leaders assemble when they meet in brussels. the 27 seats at this table represent more than 450000000 people in the europe. it's a club at some neighboring countries on the continent have been waiting decades to join. but the requirements to qualify for e u membership makes the process both long and slow minis. cami sir. so when

francis president emmanuel crohn introduced the idea of the european political community, there were immediate concerns from some that it was somehow a 2nd tier substitute for him to e u. membership as humble in that role that spring europe together in a very on the basis of us geography. so on the basis of democratic values with a desire to preserve the unity of our continent, you know, and we also want to preserve the strength and on vision or integration because little joining wouldn't mean in the future. i couldn't join the european union for simone. and it also wouldn't be limited to refill to those who have left the european union. so can keep this said bill, near the new european political community or e p. c will be made up of $44.00 countries. these include the 27 e u member states. countries who don't want to be in the e u like norway and switzerland. those that do. and the one that recently left.

oh, you've got to hand it to the easiest leadership for getting an ar sep, from everybody that they invited to join. the european party joined the european political community. but there is still the feeling that the purpose of the format is far from clear. and with so many nations gathered at the table, some of them friends and some of them froze. the skeptics are doubtful about what the e p c can accomplish and whether it will be anything more than just a nother talk shop. this is about diplomacy in a different route. this is about making sure we keep our neighbors and our enemies close and making sure we speak to them on a regular basis. and people will genuinely feel. is it possible to have a conversation of this nature? with that kind of difference and that kind of difference, a difference in ideology. and i think the only good thing about this is, is making sure we keep diplomatic channels open. the e you council president shall, michelle will leave the discussions at the 1st european political community meeting

in prague. there won't be a formal declaration issued after the summit, but should this 1st one go down? well, the aim would be for the lead us together once or twice a year. now our brussels beautiful example for now and is in prague where this meeting is happening all the summer. we heard a little bit in christine's report there, but how should we understand what this european political community is? some kind of b, e u x x l? no, it's not sir, least according to you. officials who were at great pain to paint too, at great pains to point out that the european union is just facilitating this meeting, that this is not an e u driven process. and that is also was german chancellor. oliver charles indicated here upon his arrival and at prague castle writer behind me, he said that it's not about establishing a new institution, not about

a more bureaucracy. it's just important for your opinion leaders to be able to have a good exchange about matters that are important to them. other leaders stress that it's not a consolation prize for those countries who are eager to join the block that it's not an alternative. and many here pointed to the fact that her seeing older 44 leaders here were invited is a positive signal. just imagine, even the british prime minister is here written, has a laughter and the european union. and there are very proud not to be a member and still less trust is said to be intending to play a leading role during this meeting. or what has been the goal of this summit. while the goal is just to have 3rd is kind of exchanged, a meeting itself essay. and the purpose here, of course,

we have to say that the war in ukraine is looming, large over the meeting here in prague. and luncheon prime minister stressed how this war is impacting all possible aspects of our life. and he, he said that he's hoping that to this a summit here, i could send a good impulse to realize that all the leaders are in this together. and we consider when we consider how hard to vladimir putting is trying to exploit existing divisions in europe. it is very telling that it's possible to gather all 40 for leaders here. and in a kind of a sending a strong message to moscow. our brothers beauty, for example number reporting from prague. thank you. alec summer. now, when you put your money in a bank, you're not expecting to have to rob that bank to get your own money back. but

that's exactly what's been happening in lebanon. customers are angry about banks, capital controls were imposed as a country's economic crisis is worsening since 2019 people with savings have only been allowed to withdraw limited amounts in u. s. dollar. all the lebanese pound, which has lost more than 95 percent of its value since the crisis began. ah, it's like a battle of nerves at this bang branch in bay root. by some i'll shake once his money back $210000.00 from the family fortune. he's poured gasoline and his threatening to set it on fire and shoot the bank employees. the 42 year old refused to be sent away. after waiting for his money for 3 years, he had crushing debts. he couldn't pay for his father's urgent surgery. in mid august, he finally lost patience into the hollow. i would have shot myself in

a minute and the people in there with me. no, i told them here. give me my money or we'll die by now. you guys have a choice in it. so when i spilled the gasoline, they knew i was serious. other after a 10 hour grueling struggle, the bank paid him $35000.00. but some al shake was satisfied for the time being and then turned himself in to the police. the bank branch has been closed ever since. up to 5 days in jail. he was released and celebrated like a hero in his neighbourhood. a judge acquitted him. his request had been legitimate . his wife is proud of him. he risked his life for her and his son. he says, and would do it again. la jolla with glee bill here tried everything to get their rights. nothing has worked for you. we're forced to do something like this to get our money unknown mother. there is no other solution as out of it, most of the symptoms of a country in crisis and free fall,

the state is in solvent. banks of froze. net customers, assets only a fraction are released after long waits. so bank robberies with toy guns, all real weapons have recently become more frequent. there have been 10 since august, always by people seeking their own savings most were acquitted. nevertheless, the trend has been met with a divided response. mcclellan you had the right to do. you have every right to do it. you know, i fully support you, however you them against land line against it. it leads to vigilante justice that out. there was still money in the banks yanine, but if everyone does it, it will all collapse. i'm in heck of it. public and efficient bankers also warned against taking the law into one's own hands. they blamed politicians for running lebanon into the ground and say their hands are tied. if those people who are

throwing these requisitions can tell me where this 3rd cash money is a go and, and get it to this of you to people's lives law. there is no liquidity in the banking sector, is a simple overview or by sam al shake used the money for his father's operation after a full to buy a walking 8 and a new hospital bed. now he dreams of a new home for the family and wants to get all his deposits back at gunpoint again if necessary. even if things don't go so smoothly the 2nd time around an india millions of people are taking part of the hindu festival of lu shera. after 2 years of muted celebrations because of the pandemic performance and deli stage, the defeat of the mythical demon ravenna, as a battle between good and evil, to sheer celebrations last for days and begin preparations for the wally. so
