east. a man who was wielding a gun and a knife is said to have entered the nursery and opened fire before later taking his own life. the ty, prime minister, has described the incident as horrifying. and for more on this, we can speak to journalist jacob goldberg in the tie capital. thanks so much for joining us. jacob. can you give us any more information asshole about what happened at this child care center? sir, the details are very disturbing and i can tell you a bit more of what i believe have been reporting. so they say the attack began around mid day today, when 30 students were napping in their preschool. in ne island, a man came in who appeared agitated and he began searching for his own child, who usually attended the school. but when he realized this child wasn't there,

he opened fire on several teachers, including one who was 8 months pregnant. and time police also say that people on the scene who heard those gunshots thought that they were hearing fireworks. the gunman forced himself into the locker room where the children were sleeping and attacked them with a knife. he also attacked several children and adults at a nearby government office and took his truck to his own neighborhood where he also killed several other people, including his own wife and his child before torturing his truck. and the most recent death, all i've seen is $38.00, including more than 20 children and any. and he eventually killed himself. and there have been video circulating here in thailand on social media, showing the relatives of the victims congregating at the school and realizing what has happened. and it's very difficult to see if these are just absolutely have a thick details that you're telling us to do. we know anything about the gun at all

or anything about a possible motive. a motive has not been specified. the police have released a few details about the gun in or who they think is a gun. they say he was 34 year old police officer who had been suspended from the forest last month for allegedly selling drugs. and they also said that he had attended a court hearing related to those allegations before going on, his killing spree and all that shootings come in thailand and i'm presuming i mean, something like this doesn't happen often, but it, but our shooting is a problem. yeah, that's a good question and there's a distinction between what you would call a gun violence and mass shootings. there thailand is known for for gun violence. there are a lot of guns here, a lot of privately on guns and, but that violence is usually confined to gain violence or personal disputes or

political violence. and up until recently, it's been very rare for them to be a mass shooting. but this is actually the 3rd, the 3rd time in the last 3 years that a member of thailand, security forces has been involved in mass shooting. for the most recent one was just last month when a soldier shot 2 of his colleagues. and before that, in 2020, there was a soldier who went on a shooting rampage and kill 29 people in another part of northeastern thailand. and that was considered talents 1st, last shooting, and had the highest. that's all, but that's been surpassed today. what about gun was, i mean, how easy is it to purchase a gun in thailand? from yes, it seems to be relatively easy if you say here minds who for, for carrying a gun legally. there are legal ways to, to procure

a firearm under the firearms act. on guns are legal for self transfers, ortz and for property protection. and in addition to that, there's also a lot of legal guns that people have been known to actually find new social media. all rights journalist jacob, go back in bangkok, thanks so much for your time. and you in ukraine, russian missiles have struck residential buildings in the southern city of chaper region. the governor of the region, which is mostly occupied by russian troops says at least 3 people were killed in the dawn strikes, and several others were injured, including a 3 year old child, breski true cruise, ah re thing to free residence, thought to be trapped in the rebel, now these attacks come as russian forces are suffering fresh defeats. and as ukraine continues to retake territory in the south and the east the

ukrainian flag going up again in a recaptured village in the hockey region. according to your property, 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 lemon as locals q for aid ukrainian troops. we took the key, hobbit, the dynette screeching over the weekend, just hours off to 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 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. a woke up at a heard that sound getting closer and closer. one of sibley and some wind in my house, it exploded according to officials, at least 6 so called cannon. 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 keep claims or iranian made since september wednesdays attack was the closest they've come to the ukranian capital. and we can speak now to d, w 's, and that he has spelling, and he joins us from usually in southern ukraine. mateus can we start with the

reports of russian forces on the run from advancing ukrainian forces in jasper asia? what are you hearing when hearing several stories of russian forces either running away or all, or surrendering to ukrainian forces in several parts of the southern front? ukraine has made big advances, especially in the hassan region that's just adjacent to the a region. and then every time when these things happen, the attacks on the civilian infrastructure on the cities behind the front lines on ukrainian territory. so patricia, as we've just seen today, where 7 rockets, it's apartment blocks or on mac, alive or, or a hark if they increase. that's usually the response of the russians when they start losing territory. it's

a pattern that we've been observing for some time here. now russia has seized control of the region nuclear plants in president lensky. is the choosing moscow nuclear black male, isn't he? yes. so the plan has been under russian control for several months now since the beginning of the war effectively. but what has happened now is that putting has now formally assigned a decree that incorporates it into the russian state assets. and he has said that it would be run by russia now. now what that means is not very clear, but it seems to be that the ukrainian stuff that is running this plant is being pressured to sign a new contract with the russian atomic energy authority. it's a very complicated scheme that has been allowed the plan to function or to be under more or less control. although there have been lots of problems where the ukraine is, would continue running it. while the command of the command,

the leadership has been brought in from russia and now as yet as russia has illegally, according to most countries assessment, international law. the next these territories, they are now claiming the station as part of their own. the ukrainian side has told its engineers not to sign anything with the russians, but this is, of course, a step of escalation. and that's why the lensky called it nuclear black matter, because the russians being in control of the station and fighting going on around there is of course, a dangerous situation. if i could just ask you quickly, rational, special forces and significant casual casualties in the fight for the key city of linen. how do you think that will affect the morale of all these nearly mobilized russian reservists? is definitely not going to enhance the trust in russian capabilities. we hear

a lot of information that the mobilization is not going well. very dia conditions for the new you recruit, re bad preparation and this is definitely not. this is definitely adding to it, or entity is spelling and usually in southern ukraine. thanks so much. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. japan and south korea have condemned north korea's recent missile tests chung young earlier fired to more ballistic missiles into its eastern waters and flew warplanes near the border with the south. sol, scramble plains and conducted naval drills with the u. s. in response, group of a mayor of a town in southwest mexico has been assassinated in an attack that left at least 17 others dead. authorities say gunman, storm san miguel tele pans town hall in broad daylight, local media. blaming

a local gang connected to a powerful drug cartel court. now there's been no let up in anti government protests sweeping iran. the unrest began when a 22 year old woman died while being held by the morality police for allegedly violating iran. strict islamic dress code for women and girls, martha meanies, death has drawn international condemnation. power div universities to move it on are chanting women, life and freedom interest look into it, stretching the hearts of many wandered white, including members of the european parliament. the hands of the redeem of them were lost in iran, is stained with blood. neither history know a law or god almighty will forgive you for the crimes against humanity that you are committing against your all citizens. until the moment of the wrong of me, we are going to stand with you g i n g m as

a g one m, like fredo, friends, thank like julia bernard shuttle, its extending to support with diff, symbolic act. oh it on the clerical leadership. see is western enemies are behind the and d government demonstrations. these people have taken to the streets to support it on supreme leader, ayatollah hominy. and the countries strict dress court, he job, was the excuse of our enemies to destroy our unity. the u. s. and israel are the root of all this unrest, just because they cannot fight us. they are trying to attack us by creating internal problems. but the anti government buddhists eat on show no sign of lighting up full weeks on this lee to speak. you posted online, appears to show female students heckling a member of it on both its force. the much feared better military organization is

blamed for the violent crack down on the demonstrations. the death of my son, meaning has clearly exposed the 4th lines that exist in that slumber country, and that on to billing this to brutally crush any opposition that challenges. it's bower and i'm joined now by the head of d. w. persian service yelled as up ashe yelder, thanks for joining us. the, the videos that we're seeing now that are circulating a showing as the younger protesters. and is that going to affect how the security forces are dealing with them? well, and 1st of all, it's really seeing dis, a themes and now and the other, the new quality of his protest with school girls joining us. joining the protest after after a summer break, as to say, is really i have to say these are moments of empowerment. we see this little school

girls taking off not only the job at the school uniform, the monet, which of even even stricter and they are so brave and so courageous. and this is a whole different thing because of they cannot just go ahead and arrest school girls. but on the other hand, we have seen and we've seeing how they are brutally cracking down on protesters. even young young girls, for instance, a 70 year old girl, a shock and i'm, which is the that was the latest example. she was 16 on the process. she was her last call to her friends, was that the city for us are after me. then for 789 days her parents were looking for and every prison they found her that and it is very clear that she has been raped. she has been beaten up her, she had fractures and on her skull on her nose at that. what i want to say is that and, and her parents are being put on the pressure. her aunt is in prison right now.

she's a residence. they don't want them to speak out the hours they are saying again, like with my family, she has been falling down or she has me. she's having a hard to get there. other cases, they're saying they having a car accident. so they're trying to put pressure for not speaking out, but the difference is that people and the families, they do speak out and these women and the school girls, they are so brave and stepping up in front of security forces, taking out the job, which is a symbol of repression and is, i'm a public thing. i think this, i mean this as you saying the, the bravery that we're seeing is really extraordinary. and it's really, really touched on or around the world hasn't. i mean, we saw in our report the sort of symbolic acts of, of support internationally. how are they being received in, in iran, you know, these acts are very important. it's true that they cannot change anything but for the people in iran, it is important to see that we in the west,

we are supporting them. we are seeing and we are kind of in solidarity because they are being isolated what the regime is now doing is with internet shut down. they're not doing the internet shut down like in 2019, during the protests. because also economically it's, they need, they need the internet. so it's just like a cut off for hours and people forget their images and pictures out there. but what they want is, as soon as people, the word is not watching anymore, they will go a hand killing protestors arresting their over thousands of students also arrested . and so this is very important to keep this up, but it's not enough only with this kind of complaint do you, i mean, do you think that any kind of reform is out of the question? given the extent of these protests, you know, people do not most of the people who are out there now protesting, don't believe in any sort of reform of this, of the system. there has been called for reforms during 2009, the big protest, but now it's really

a call for an end of the islamic republic. they're addressing this to dictator. that's too early. how many, i mean, if so, this is in there, there is no more slogans about reformers or constitutes, but about the end of this regime, d, w. c, l does up osh. thank you so much. now the opec plus oil cartel has announced a major cut in production meeting in vienna. the group of the wealth top oil producers, which is led by saudi arabia agreed to cut output by 2000000 barrels a day. from november. the decision is expected to raise prices at a time when much of the world is struggling with soaring energy costs. it could also undermine g 7 attempts to reduce russian oil revenues being used to finance it's war in ukraine. and more than foresee leaders from around europe are in prague for the 1st meeting of the new european political community. this european

union initiative will bring together ear leaders with countries beyond the blocks borders. now that includes britain, turkey, ukraine, switzerland, and norway. the meeting is taking place with europe, dealing with an energy crisis and economic turmoil that has been worsened by russia's war in ukraine. so what exactly is the point of this new group? our reporter christine one we're investigates. 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 micron introduced the idea of the european political community, there were immediate concerns from some that it was somehow as sick and tears

substitute him to e u. membership as humble in a toilet spring europe, together in a very on the basis of us geography. so on the basis of democratic values and with a desire to preserve the unity of our continent to know. and we also want to preserve the strength and ambition or integration because little joining wouldn't mean in the future. i couldn't join the european union fosten and it also wouldn't be limited to those who have left the european union. so kill kitty said donia, 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 used leadership for getting an ar sep, from everybody that they invited to join 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, char michelle, will leave the discussions at the 1st european political community meeting in prague. there won't be a formal declaration issued off to the summit, but should this 1st one go down? well, the aim would be for the leaders together once or twice

a year. the swedish academy and stockholm has awarded this year, is that no bell prize in literature to the french author, annie, i don't know now, nor is a professor of literature as well as the writer she was born in 1914, she grew up in normandy, her literary work is mostly autobiographical and maintains close links with socio ology chair and his old son explained some of the reasons why the swedish academy chose f know for this year's award. ali i know was born in 1940 you and grew up in the little town of eve tool you normally as shifting was poor, but ambitious. and in her ever, she consistently explores the experience of alive, marked by great disparities regarding gender language and class. i literally work dealing with her class experience. andrew background began earlier

as a memory project with the ambition widening the boundaries of literature beyond fiction . in the narrow sense in it's a construction of the past. it means on my cell posts. i live, i searched it, don't pell do, but she guides the search in an entirely new direction. despite or consciously plain literary style. she declares that she isn't quote ethnology east of herself, and quote, rather than a writer of fiction. all right, let's get more on this from david levitz from d w culture. hi david. and can you tell us more about this? he is, is when a and what kind of book she, right, right on the, on the new is known as i want to frances greatest living authors. and she writes books that are hyper personal, even if they're in the 3rd person. they're autobiographical. she's probed her own history, her relationship with her parents, what it was to grow up in the working class. her mother's illness,

with all timers and ultimate death, her own unhappy marriage, her about with breast cancer, her own abortion, the topics go on and on. so these are also a lot of topics that through her literature, many of her readers, particularly women readers, have connected with. and one thing about her biography that i find personally very moving is that at the beginning when she started writing in her twenties, nobody believed in hershey. she went to publishers and they said she was too ambitious. can you believe that? but the woman who now as the nobel prize sharing that she went through ambitious and her 1st published work, which was when she was in her thirties, she was the mother of 2 children and a french teacher. she wrote in secret because her husband, but little her writing and then she showed him and she ended up writing about her unhappy marriage. now, 2 books that i want to talk about her 2008 novel, but years later i ne, which really wanted her to international acclaim. it's about a woman is clearly hurt and starts in

a post world war to france and goes up until about 2000 and it really charged not only her life, but of course the changes in french society. another book happening, what she wrote in 2000 are published in 2000 is about the illegal and very dangerous abortion that she had when she was 2003. and now the film version of that actually one top prize at the venice film festival. last year, anal know is also by the way, the only the 17th woman ever to win this prize. she's the 16th author from france, which has plenty of prize winners, relatively speaking in the swedish cami. oh, they said by the way, this morning that they were unable to reach her. but it by now she, she missed the call. she missed that call if you don't want to miss. but she has found out and she said that it is an honor and she goes to call it a great responsibility to. i mean, there's always lots of speculation about who is it going to be, isn't it in an up school peck or more of a crowd please? i mean, what is on, you know, fit on that spectrum somewhere in the middle, and she's definitely not obscure. we, she's one of the authors,

we actually were prepared for, you know, the last few years we were caught completely by surprise by the winners of the nobel prize. but she's definitely not the one the everyone was expecting this year, this year. it was salman rushdie, especially after he survived the knife attack in august. a lot of people thought it would have been a strong symbolic gesture in supportive freedom of speech to pick him. of course, the swedish academy will not be pinned down at any time you think, you know, who's going to be the pick. it's not them. and here we have an example of that again, so surprising, it's always a surprise. david levitz will have to leave it that much. ah, with

ah, ah, ah, one continent did 1000000 people with their own personal stories. europe, with every day life,

with what europeans feared and what they hope for focus on d. w. for william, how to think on gonzalez, will i and was how you know, if i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on the trip. i would not to put myself and my parents in that angel god, it's a theme of the akita slater, who love on thunder. they've had that one of the give them i had a serious problems on a personal level. and i was unable to live there with you want to know their story info, migrant verified, and reliable information for my grants. ah, will you become a criminal? mm. franklin may i already know with hackers,

paralyzing the tire societies, computers that out sure you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go to for and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. this is the w news asia coming out today. it's a climate of urgency. why isn't there more urgency though, on track to creating green or infrastructure. we take you under ground to deli solar powered matrox, but is the rest of the nation on the same train when it comes to going great. and the constant battle against rising sees on the central j.
