ah, ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, thailand more in the victims of its deadliest mass, killing a former police officer, murdered nearly 40 people at the daycare center. most of the dad are young children, also on the program. joe biden wants the world could face on the get. and if russia

uses that nuclear weapon in ukraine, the u. s. president says vladimir putin threats mean the risk of nuclear catastrophe is at its highest since the 1960 s. denisia is rising sea levels of flooding homes and forcing people to flee. d w me to feel it just goes once thriving community is being destroyed by the effects of human made climate change and europe's list of inter governmental blocks just got longer. the european political community has convened its 1st summit in the check capital, focusing on ukraine and how to bring down energy costs. ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. thailand is in morning today after a mass shooting as a child care center in the northeast left at least 36 people that

a former policeman storm the building on thursday. he later killed his family and himself. silent king is to visit survivors as flags across the country, fly at half mast a stream of coffins arrive at the morgue after a day of unimaginable terror. it was here at a rural daycare center that an ex policeman killed at least 36 people. more than 20 of them children, one teacher describe what she saw about it. he used his feet to take the window and then he shot at the door. i thought you got inside, so i ran to the kitchen behind. i was in shock. i didn't know what to do. some family members remain at the scene as investigations into the massacre continue.

local police said the shooter had appeared in court on drugs charges, and the verdict was jus. though so far, no motive has been established. while thailand's prime minister described it as a shocking attack, this definitely shouldn't happen. i feel deep sadness for the victims and relatives . despite relatively high gun ownership. my shootings are rare and talent. but that's little consolation for the families of those killed and it's worse rampage by a single attacker. has got the license from jonas to jacob goldberg and the tie capital bangkok. welcome a jacob. what's being said about a possible motive? police haven't identified a specific motive, but they have confirmed that this former police officer who carried out the

shooting had a history of drug use. and it was under apparently, under a lot of stress around the time of the shooting because he had, he was being prosecuted for drug crimes. and his mother also said that he had a lot of data related to his drug use. but again, a specific modem hasn't been identified right now. the king and queen are due to visit hospitals. today. i'm talk of through that. that's right, the king and cleaner schedule to visit the area. members of the royal privy council, representatives of the monarchy. i've already visited some of the survivors in the hospital and conveyed their condolences. they offered to support the families of the survivors, end of the victims, and also pledge to sponsor real ceremonies nations ceremonies for the victims of those. those pledges might be reiterated when the king, right, right. and so the practical help that all parties are providing for survives and

dependents. what does that look like? from what i've seen, and in addition to what the king and queen have pledged, there have been mental health workers assigned to assist the relatives of the victims. but the prime minister is also scheduled to meet with the provincial authorities today. so more details on practical health may emerge after that meeting. right. we heard in the report that gun ownership in thailand is quite high, but the but our firearms are strictly controlled. has this incident sparked a debate on gun ownership? there's been some debate about gun ownership, guns can be purchased legally for self defense and recreation after undergoing a screening process. and there are around 6000000 registered guns in time. but there are also another 4000000 registered guns. and this might contribute to some

high rate of done homicide in the country, but done homicides are really in the form of mass shootings. and when they are, they've been perpetrated by members of the security forces, the military or the police. i've seen more questions asked about the recruitment processes of the army and the police necessarily about the gun was thank you for that. jacob jones, jacob goldberg again in bangkok present biden's has the risk of nuclear armageddon is that it's highest since the cuban missile crisis of the 960 s u. s. president warner to russian liter vladimir putin is not joking when he talks about using nuclear weapons following losses on the battlefield in ukraine. and the latest incidents, a russian missile strike destroyed an apartment building in the southern city of that region. i missed came. russian forces lost more grounds, ukraine's counter offensive in the south and east gutted by russian

rockets here in zap parisha rescue workers search the rubble from missing residence. local officials say several people were killed while more had been hospitalized off the initial door and attack fire fight is headed to the scene. but a 2nd silva sent locals running for cover as well as rescue workers. present zalinski condemned the strikes was a but easier beast of persons aboriginal after the 1st rocket strike. to day when people came to pick apart the rebel, what russia conducted a 2nd rocket strike available in absolute vileness absolute evil up. and there have been thousands of instances of this already, and there could be thousands more unfortunately, he shannon, as ronald, more humbled locals were left reeling through them. why

aren't you doing this to us? what are they trying to prove? killing or people? why? for what? 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 straighten ukraine than that. nic conley, joseph from kate. welcome. nick will come to president biden's comments in a moment. a 1st service attack on separation seems to be part of a russian patton defeats on the battlefield, followed by attacks on civilian infrastructure. let's definitely the way it looks and that's what the ukranian government has been talking about for a few weeks. now. we've seen

a tax on heating plants on electricity infrastructure was a water infrastructure. so there's a sense here, especially leading to this winter situation for civilians could get a lot worse even for people living quite far away from the direct fighting that they could be stuck in high rise apartments without the ability to heat their homes or, or even the electricity to go about their work, their businesses. and there is the sense that russia wants ukraine civilians to put pressure on their government to make compromises that, that is basically the last hope shorter of the kind of nuclear brickman ship that we've been seeing in recent days. and that, that is now gonna increase its interesting, we try to report on the situation what your friends doing to repair that infrastructure, but they weren't let us anywhere near it. they are very, very worried that anything, any information could provide clues to the russians about what else they could destroy, what else they could do to we can discover which countries infrastructure and this nuclear brakeman ship is something that b, u. s. president has said that we should take very seriously a because this is not

a threat. this is, this is, this is something that we should add. mr. putins threat is a fear is something that we should take seriously. the biggest threat since the cuban missile crisis, i want to people there and keep, say less interesting things. so basically up until the last couple of days, people just haven't been taking it seriously. they've been seeing it is kind of symptom of russian weakness of desperation. and attempt to can escalate, given those kind of russian failures on the battlefield. and basically kind of sabre rattle. i think what really has made people think here have been those comments from the u. s. or any from joe biden, but also in previous kind of days and weeks from retired top us generals who've been kind of talking about what nato, the u. s. would do, in case of a russian use of nuclear weapons. talking about me seeking the russian fleet, attacking all russian troops on ukrainian territory. i think that really has made people think that the u. s. are taking the seriously and we've seen how precise those u. s. intelligent predictions were running into the war when people here didn't

want to believe that russia was gonna launch full scale invasion. and those american predictions turned out to be right. so there's lots of kind of nervous talk about buying id and tablets working out what to do if a nuclear attack would happen. and even lots of kind of dark humor about raves in the kind of things people would do on their last few days after nuclear attack, to this kind of attempt to try and kind of lighten the tone. but people now increasingly take thinking about this seriously and thinking about what to do and all of this because that ukraine's counter offensive has been that so especially effective in the last a few weeks. what is the latest on that? so we've heard figure coming out of the ukrainian military st. absent. they are talking about 500 square kilometers, retake in the capsule region in the south just in the past week or the details pretty sparse. the keep it very tight grip on meter access and so those details the kind of filtering through quite slowly, but definitely there's a lot of panic on russian social media among the kind of military blogs, people who support this war, who are really worried that those russian forces in had san are going to be stuck

on the western bank of the per river without any supplies coming in. the bridges have been destroyed and the cranes are really in hammering home with their artillery to the sense that they're going to be more ukrainian victories. next couple of days while they try and take advantage of their kind of a momentum before the wind sets in and at the front lines, kind of get more stuck and kind of less mobile in a couple of weeks. i think thank you for that. that nick connelly in cave on the counter offensive has come at a terrible cost or thousands of soldiers have died and there are constant casualties on both sides. the doubly correspondent mathias bulio was given access to the front lines named mc alive by the ukranian army and sent this report. these positions are well fortified. ukrainian soldiers have withstood several months of shelling in the trenches. the lines haven't moved to most of that time. the recently thing started shifting up ahead. they've started to attack russian

positions more aggressively by year upon asthma, in some directions, we have been able to move forward. even right now, an attack is going on, not us. we try to put them under constant pressuring, so it'll go our way, though others of several of them don't. because we do want to prove, let me show you where i guys live. miss o, just stay for several months. the army doesn't have enough personnel to retake them in and out. more often. this group is getting ready for the cold seems to have written fluid here or kelly. as you move forward in winter, we will have to heat all of the space and will be in his own by then. let's hope so for god's sake. 2 days ago a shell hit just about their beds. look, thankfully the roof is so well built, get through hostile nipple bill. further behind the lines,

ambulances wait for injured soldiers to evacuate into hospitals. we told that 3 ukrainians were heard by a storming, rushing position. frontline, paramedics had them over to an ambulance that shuttles between the war zone and the hospital. ah, we grain, you know, authority is have admitted to roughly 10000 dead soldiers as well below estimates of russian losses. but neither side are releasing precise or credible number. this time none of the injuries seem to be severe. it was right before the roof. the counter attack is costing ukrainian blood,

the paramedics say they've become busier recently. bishop on nick a message, the number of injured is higher during the attack because our guys move forward to the positions of the russian villains. and then it's easy for the russians to hit them because they know their positions well and can show them even if i can to some it was it's in ago. the paramedics returned to their waiting position. they don't know when the next trip to the hospital will be, they know it will come. i will take a look at some more stories making news around the world. and you, as president joe biden has pardon, thousands of people convicted under federal law are possessing marijuana. he didn't call for full day criminalization of cannabis, but said no one should be in jail for his using the drug people convicted on the state. laws are not affected by this executive action, which comes about a month ahead of mid term elections, which went biden's. democrats may lose control of congress. the rent calling for

because the european union can then improve relations with its neighbors. many of whom want to become members of the european union are based 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 you 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. ipg hunter and the poor, the you member in your candidate or ex member. and we do share a common region and often a common history that you can make it 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. a said to talk on friday about how germany and the you can together help to bring down energy prices. there are proposals on the table. the time is pressing because winter is coming. a political cause bullet. nina hossa is there in prague. welcome a nina. a lot of smiles, a war words out of this or 1st day. anything concrete? announce them. well, 1st up that there are 2 important messages that came out of prague on thursday. one of course, that europe is about more than the you. it is an entire continent and that continent there were no agreements, there were no decisions made here in prague on thursday. nevertheless, european leaders visibly enjoyed this opportunity to talk freely to each other

without any set of gender, without having to agree on every commer in a final document. and this is an opportunity where in the situation of multiple crises like we are dealing with here in europe as in other areas of the world. and you to pin leaders having this opportunity to get together and talk face to face about inflation, about how to tackle rising energy prices. what to do about global food shortage, or the consequences of the pandemic and rushes war? this is something where normally they would have to go on pompous state visits and it all gets very complicated. so here in this new format, they get face time and so they have agreed that they are going to continue with this format. for now it is baby steps, but the next meeting will take place in moldova, which is of course, ukraine, small and very troubled, neighbor m, next year. all right. talk us through the criticisms, germany's facing that. oh, bridge plans for dealing with exposing energy cost. yeah,

we heard that in the report that there is a lot of criticism, in fact, because germany announced this financial relief package aimed at helping german consumers and businesses deal with rising energy prices. they are getting extremely high. and so the german government has announced that it will spend up to 200000000000 euros. and in order to help people deal with this issue and of course, or the some countries are arguing, well, germany does have the economic clout and can do this. other countries, cancer is unfair, germany argues, of course, this is something where they're only playing by you. rules are the countries are providing other assistance, for example, france is supporting its nuclear lobby and this way also financing gas and energy prices. but of course, the debate is about just how it to get gas prices down in particular. and germany wants to show itself very constructive and wants to get into a conversation also with other areas in the world like japan and korea so that they

can coordinate gas prices and how they can bring them down. i found that nina, i'm nina hossa in prague. so any and now's books are famous for blending fiction. and autobiography drawing on her experiences as a working class woman to tell powerful stories, having written more than 20 over 50 years, a french author has now one the nobel prize for literature. before the prize committee announced this year's winner, they tried to call her, but couldn't reach her french author on the on will soon out know, did find out. she'd won the world's top literature prize, or just because, well, i'm very happy. i am proud. that's it. you're not overcome with emotion? no, no, i'm not overcome a fitting answer for an author who writes about her own experiences with what she calls the knife, meaning a kind of surgical precision. her autobiographical novels prob subjects including
