relatives believe, said the gunman fled to his home and killed his wife and site, then took his own life. the also see, the former police sergeant had been suspended for drug use. at the hospital, people rushed to need black for the injured one of talent, fiddler masculine has left a community distraught and in shock. for more on the story, we can now speak to journalist jacob goldberg. he is in the tie capital bank hawk, jacob. what more information do you have at this point about what happened at the child at the daycare center? the details only get more and more distressing. according to tied police. the attack started around midday and the students in the preschool were napping. when he entered, he seemed agitated, and he began to search her child, and when he realized that his child wasn't there, he opened fire on so he opened fire in several teachers,

including one who was 8 months pregnant. and other people in the area mistook the gunshots for fireworks. after shooting those initial teachers, he forced his way into the room where the students were sleeping and he attacked them with a knife. he also attacked several adults and children at a nearby government office in the area before driving back to his neighborhood, killing is his own life. his own child, a man hunt was launched, but he killed himself before police could catch up at him. in the most recent dental i saw was that has gone up to $38.00, including himself and more than 20 children. and what do we know about him and a possible motive? please have him identify any specific motive, but they have said that he is a 34 year old police officer who was suspended from the for us last month for selling drugs. and that, earlier in the day, before he began the killing spree,

he had attended a court hearing related to that drug case. how common are shootings like this one and thailand shooting like this one are not very common in thailand, thailand does have the 2nd highest rate of gun homicides in southeast asia. but most of these gun to us are the result of personal disputes. are game violence or political violence. it's rare for there to be a mass shooting like this one. or at least it wasn't 2 years ago when, when a soldier carried out a mass shooting, they killed 29 people. and today's attack is the 3rd mass shooting in the last 3 years to involve a member of thailand, security forces. so how people there reacted, i mean this is a horrible crime and, and something like this has not been seen in a very long time. are people in shock, how's the reaction in the country that people are enjo and,

and i imagine that the talent gun laws will come under scrutiny, and the government will come under scrutiny as well, which you will see a lot more of that tomorrow. journalist jacob goldberg and bank. ok, thank you so much. russian missiles have hit residential buildings in the southern ukrainian city of upper regia, ukrainian emergency services say at least 3 people were killed and the strikes and another doesn't wound it. strikes come, as russian forces continue to lose ground to ukraine's counter offensive in the south, and the east gutted by russian rockets here and z parisha rescue workers search the rubble from missing residence. local officials say several people were killed while moore had been hospitalized off the initial dorn attack, fire fight is headed to the scene. but a 2nd salvo, said locals running for cover as well as rescue workers. president

zalinski condemned the strikes was a but easier beast parisha after the 1st rocket strike to day when people came to pick apart the rubble. russia conducted a 2nd rocket strike, a deal of absolute vileness absolute evil. and there have been thousands of instances of this already, and there could be thousands more. unfortunately, she, it was rather more humbled. locals were left reeling through them. why aren't you doing this to us? what are they trying to prove? killing old people. why? for want the attacks come, as ukraine continues to force russian troops back in the south and east with these ukrainian troops and the don bass telling french reporters that they were using shells captured from the russians with winter fast approaching,

keep seems determined to press its current advantage, as long as it can the head of the international atomic energy agency who's in the ukranian capital key for talks about security, a europe's biggest nuclear power station, precisely ins, upper regia, the city that was targeted to day as discussing plans for a safe zone. after months of shelling near the facility, a plant is located near the front line in a southern ukrainian region illegally annexed by moscow. russian president vladimir putin ordered his government to take formal control of the facility on wednesday, but at a press conference in cave, grossey said it was quote, obvious that the station remained a ukrainian facility. a matter that has to do an economy is in keith and followed cross east press conference there for us. nick, what else did the head of the nuclear watchdog say about the separation nuclear plant? well he had precious little detail to give away,

at least in public for now. um, he said he would be heading to moscow soon and then back to key if he was tried, can spread optimism and make it clear that he has not given up on this idea of a safe zone or where they are currently 2 of his colleagues in the patricia, any one time at the power station there they will soon before, but i mean it's a drop in the ocean. if you can consider quite how high blood work at that power station, how big it is and how major the challenges it faces are given that this is your speaker power station on the front lines with shelling going on around every day basically. but there was really a sense the jealous wanted him to come take sides and to talk about kind of rushes . actions are the russians attempt to take control that power station and of the given his you and remit than the fact he has to deal with the russians on daily basis. if he wants access that power station, he was keeping very clear, real well clear of anything that became could be construed as a kind of political statement. now, while grossey was discussing, separate yeah, russian meant missiles hit separation, killing several civilians. there is,

there is something to be ran into the timing of this attack. i think definitely a procedure is one of the russians main targets. yeah. they have no illegally annexed that whole region just last week, but near the capitol of that region is still not under their control. it is under ukraine control. so as of in a sense that they are trying to make things as difficult as possible for civilians in ukraine and controls operation to make your life without power, without basic heating and other kind of supplies. really desperate to put pressure on the ukraine. your thought is that i wouldn't necessarily say it was timed to coincide with his visit, but there is no sense. the russian is somehow steering clear of that power station or doing anything that would kind of take away the risks that you're, that region is, has been living with her since being the war. and we're talking a lot about the ukranian counter offensive and how successful it's being was the latest on her we've heard from the rain military then say that of the

past week, they have taken back about 400 square kilometers of territory in the headstone region, which is not very far away from the parisha just across the deeper river, and we are seeing that ukrainian offensive continuing, the details can trickle through to us quite slowly. ukraine authorities are very careful to make sure that nothing operational gets out. but there's a lot of panic on russian social media among military blog as people who support this war and a sense that near they might soon see a repeat of what happened. in fact, if a couple weeks ago with a kind of total collapse of russian forces, they are basically out on a limb. on the western bank, the deeper river with most the bridge is taken out of action. so they are really, really dependent on pontoon bridge is an air lift to get supplies in. so there is a sense here in key of that. ukraine's army is on a role and we are going to see more towns retaken by ukraine and more successes in the next couple days. it is nic connelly and kia, thank you so much and less now get you up to speed on some other stories making headlines around the world today. japan and south korea have condemned north

korea's recent missile tests with young young earlier fired to more ballistic missiles into its eastern waters and flew war plains near the border with the south . sol scrambled plains and conductive naval drills with the u. s. in response on at least 22 people have drowned, and dozens are still missing. after 2 migrant boats sank and separate incidents in the mediterranean, the boats went down off the greek islands of keep theda and less boss and a 9 time rescue. some migrants were saved from the boat that foundered near casita where the 40 leaders from around here have met in prague for the 1st meeting of the new european political community. this european union initiative brings together a new leaders with countries beyond the blocks orders including britain, turkey, ukraine, switzerland, and norway. the 1st meeting took place as europe is dealing with an energy crisis

and economic turmoil that has been worsened by russia's war in ukraine. the inaugural summits of the european political community brought together $44.00 european heads of state and governments. the meeting in prague was attended by all 27 e u members. the u. accession candidates. the next member a neighboring countries. they all agreed on the need to discuss a common strategy regarding russian aggression in ukraine. this is good for peace and security. and of course it's also good because the european union can then improve relations with its neighbors. many of whom want to become members of the european union purpose on the summit is also being attended by serbia, which has traditionally been closer to russia and by turkey, which has a strained relationship with the you. the possibility of closer ties with the e u, even brought armenian azerbaijan,

currently in conflict with each other into the same room, even without resolutions, the new community wants to form a common strategy for supporting ukraine. the peak is hunter, when the poor, the, you remember in your candidate or ex member, but we do share a common region and often a common history, the urinary, it's up to us to shape our future together. an avenue the ukraine crisis is also creating new divisions. germany's proposed to 100000000000 euro scheme to caution high energy builds has been questioned. huh. the german economy is so large that the assistance that the german government is giving to its businesses could distort the common market i with within the european union. the 27 e. u. member states are set to talk to morrow about how germany and the you can together help to bring down energy prices. there are proposals on the table, but time is pressing because winter is coming. and d,

w is brussels verity if alexander phenomena is in prague, where this meeting is happening, alexandra. this new european format was intended to send a signal of unity, especially in the direction of russia. hasn't succeeded. well, at least the uptick stay looked good and we saw today you were p and leaders standing side by side posing for a family photo that was supposed to projected european unity. they also listened to the address the by the ukranian president. and you officials told me that all of them listen very carefully, that there was a sense of gravity in their room and that they then applauded. however, we also have to say that there are still divisions in europe that vladimir putin is trying to exploit. let said, take turkey, for instance, they have not, they have not imposed sanctions against russia. and they trade exploded during the

war. and many here are a concerns that turkey can become a haven for those who are trying to 3rd convent. you think sions, against russia, turkey is seeing itself as a mediator. and to this, a topic in general was here on the agenda in a meeting between the turkish and the french president. so we will see whether there will be any changes on the ground. alexandra, some smaller states have a problem with an energy price cap proposed by germany. can you tell us what that discussion is about? yes, this, this topic is going to be on the agenda to morrow. when the leaders from the european union are going to talk about the current energy price, price crisis, and the problem is that they have not agreed yet what additional measures have to be introduced. many of them, the majority of them, is wanting a price cab on russian gas imports. germany was always very skeptical at the same

time, the german government has introduced and massive aid package for its companies and consumers in germany. 200000000000 europe and other member states are saying, we don't have this amount of money. this is having properly and having an impact on the single market. so they are concerned at the polish prime minister. moreover, etzky a was a saying he, it cannot be that said the energy policy in the european union is being dictated by germany. so as you can see, we can expect this quite turbulent discussion for to morrow about that. all right, alexandra phenomena in prague. thank you. so much for that update. the united nation says the climate catastrophes will up route 143000000 people across asia.
