10:02 am
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 police man 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 on the verdict was jus though so far,
10:03 am
no motive has been established. 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 thailand but that's little consolation for the families of those killed and it's worse rampage by a single attacker. will journalist a jacob goldberg updated me from the ty, capital bank hawk. 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
10:04 am
visit hospitals. today. i'm talk of through that. that's right, the king and cleaners go 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 appreciation ceremony for the victims of those. those pledges might be reiterated when the king and queen, 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. in addition to what the king and queen have 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
10:05 am
authorities today. so more details on practical health may emerge after that meeting. we heard in the report that gun ownership in thailand is quite high, but the but our firearms are strictly controlled. has this incident response to 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 $6000000.00 registered guns and 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 process is of the army and the police necessarily about gun laws. thank you for
10:06 am
that. jacob jones, jacob goldberg again in bangkok u . s. president joe biden says the risk of nuclear armageddon is at its highest since the cuban missile crisis of the 1900 fax sixty's. he warned that russian liter vladimir putin is not joking when he talks about using nuclear weapons funding losses on the battlefield in ukraine. in the latest incidents in russian missile strike destroyed an apartment building in the southern city of separation. it came as russian forces lost more ground to view cranes counter offensive in the south and east. gutted by russian rockets here in zap parisha rescue workers search the rubble from missing residence. local official say several people were killed while more had been hospitalized off the initial dawn attack, fire fight is headed to the scene. but
10:07 am
a 2nd cell though, st. 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 lou, when people came to pick apart the rubble, russia conducted a 2nd rocket strike, a deal of do an absolute vileness absolute evil. and there have been thousands of instances of this already. and there could be thousands more. unfortunately, he shan't, miserable. morton bulled 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 what the attacks come as ukraine continues to force russian troops back in the south and east with these ukrainian troops and the don
10:08 am
baths, 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 i can respond that nick connelly is in cave. i suggested that the attack on south arizona, i seemed to be part of a patent by russian forces, attacking civilian infrastructure, following defeats on the battlefield. 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. 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 electricity to go about their work, their businesses, and there is the sense that russia wants ukraine civilians to put pressure on the
10:09 am
government to make compromises that, that is basically the last hope short of the kind of nuclear brinkman ship that we've been seeing in recent days. and that, that is now gonna increase. it's interesting, we try to report on the situation what your credit is doing to repair that infrastructure, but they weren't let us anywhere near it. they are very, very worried to 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 brickman ship is something that b u. s. president has said that we should take very seriously 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 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,
10:10 am
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 near 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. intelligence 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
10:11 am
effective in the last a few weeks. and what is the latest on that? so we've heard figure coming out of the ukrainian military establishment. they're talking about 500 square kilometers, retake in the capstone region in the south. just in the past week. the details are pretty sparse that keep a very tight grip on meter access. and so those details are 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 song are going to be stuck on the western bank of the nipper river without any supplies coming in the bridges have been destroyed and the cranes are really coming home with their artillery to the sense that they're going to be more ukrainian victories next couple of days. while they try to take advantage of their kind of momentum before the wind sets in and the front lines kind of get more stuck and kind of less mobile in a couple of weeks. i thank you for that. nick connelly in keith. let's have
10:12 am
a look at some more stories making news around the world. a forest fire has scored some of the ancient stone statues on rap a new e, also known as easter island. authorities say an unknown number of the sacred figures have been affected by the blaze. there are around a 1000 on the southern pacific island caused by the rep and people more than 500 years ago. flooding has killed at least 3 people in the indonesian capital jakarta, students died wireless school war collapse. later roads have been closed and several neighborhoods evacuated. what is in some areas of nita deep the un says human made global warming will displace nearly 150000000 people across asia in the coming decades. the communities on the northern coast of indonesia central java that's already a reality. rising sale of destroyed crops and roads and resulted in villages being frequently flooded. some people are being forced to abandon their homes and start
10:13 am
new lives elsewhere. it's pointless. but cassini try said anyway, sweeping the water out of her house in timbers, ocho village in central java, by the tide keeps coming in the water, mouldy. and from time to time, the water rises to the level of her hips. if the tide is too high, the family is trapped inside for hours. cassim, his daughter has had enough. somebody new. so i sang, so i want to lived someplace that isn't like this. let me get dead out. then in again, the mother my with more land and that is dry, had a veneer to hopefully some of it safe from floods and you know, her grandfather, remember the times were cars and motorcycles were driving at the main street room. the village was good. there was nothing like biz, yes, it was just dry land. it was lush,
10:14 am
lots of vegetation. it became like this 10 years ago than been before a bell. none. the villagers cut down mangrove forest said they're protecting the coastline. but this is not the only reason for the catastrophe. global warming and rising c levers are threatening the whole area. as you used to live him under liquor, a village near by. today she needs a boat to access our village. makes if structures lead to a formal home a c, i just came to pick up some of her personal belongings. yeah. bonnie o'brien, of course i miss home. mm hm. but what can i do with that, but that it's not habitable anymore either on thee and was that at the beginning of all she had no other choice and to move to the next city. swapping her house for one bedroom, concrete apartment, but at least she has dry feet. here. as remind of our top story atlas, our thailand isn't morning after my shooting. i saw

10:16 am
a documentary about love, seduction and power ice cold passion starts october 8th on d. w. ah, we eat, we bring whatever one into our body. it comes out and we cannot speak about in makes no sense. i don't say, i don't say toilet or excrement, because it doesn't help with jose. whoop . i want to talk to you today about toilet. we're not allowed to say, and that's part of the problem in we refused the words because we were is the reality on average. a human produce is more than 70 killers of excrement per year.
10:17 am
globally, that represents 550000000 tons of ways to which must be evacuated and treated excellent management world wide poses a sanitation, an ecological challenge, which we almost never talk about. and yet, you probably don't know that we are experiencing a huge toilet revolution. 10 years ago mil gay to explore the world for his foundation is government. poop kills. according to the world health organization, half the world's population doesn't have safe toilets. nearly 700000000 human beings deviate outside. the problem is that poor sanitation causes diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis a and typhoid, it kills nearly $400000.00 children each year. bill gates thought he could fix that by inventing a new kind of toilet for these countries. they well,
10:18 am
terrible. no, that's not the kind of toilet is financing. in 2011 bill gates launched a major international competition called reinvent the toilet. the toilet of the future must be able to remove all the harmful pathogens from human waste and recover resources like energy, clean water, and nutrients. they must also work without a network without running water and almost without electricity. to see these toilets financed by gates, we went to switzerland to a kind of harvard for p. a university which specializes in separating fecal matter and you are in toilets in order to better recover all the good thing was contained in the liquid. we produce more to come up with this new sanitation system. he actually consulted some friends and then make sure they came up with a, if
10:19 am
a system how we could look like, you know, and, you know, are you how to use chemical physical processes, new process, how to treat the excreta? and he actually sent this sketch. you know, this idea out if this invitation to participate in the reinvent the tory, the challenge and it was extremely technological, you know, so i think sounds like super critical water oxidation or electrolysis. you know, this process really fit nicely in this picture. and this plan the ear wag institute is participating in bill gates is competition because for decades they have been a global reference in research on water and sanitation. they invent a lot of machines and systems to turn your in into fertilizer and this is your in separating toilet se produced by law.
10:20 am
this is the collection tank where we collect a urine from this building. this is the biological reactor where we stabilize the urine. in this column, pharmaceuticals are removed if activated, carbon after pharmaceutical removal. the urine is stored here and later brought to the distiller or concentration. this is the final fertilizer product over at the outset, e o. ag was going to call its fertilizer made from swiss students. you are in, you're in an in house communications manager suggested they switched the letters to draw inspiration from the latin word for gold instead. that's why they chose orin. to be clear, the ear wagons that you would separate you are in an fecal matter and collects the
10:21 am
students you're in because number one, it's easier to treat our waste when it's separated. number 2, most of the nutrients are concentrated in the urine and most of the bacteriological bombs, the ones that kill children, are concentrated in the feces. one afternoon we found ourselves that one of the biggest factories in the world the sin of, i'll waste water treatment plant in paris, the wifi liberal port. here you see the sledge produced at our facility, but that will, that pile is 2 days worth. the slides will be carbonized, which will make it high genetic, then we can spread it on agricultural field. so pipe will not have you got another dose as if, if the fat good people like bill gates won't to invent almost dry toilets, which separate urine and fecal matter always brings us back to one question. why
10:22 am
did rich countries choose the flush, the toilet which uses so much water and a central sewer system terminating at a waste water treatment plant? until the mid 19th century in major european cities, the most common custom was to empty your bucket out of the window. the streets were so filthy that the scientists of the day ended up wondering if the bad odors themselves were causing the epidemics. that was called the miasma theory. who in $1858.00 london was sweltering and the level of the thames where all the excrement was dumped was at its lowest. the stench was so strong that the members of parliament feared they'd fall ill. it took powerful people smelling the odor for the tide to turn this event to cold,
10:23 am
the great stink was the spark, which launched a vast undertaking. the city was gutted to create a centralized sure system. thousands of kilometers were dug at the same time in several major cities like in paris, which had nearly 3000 kilometers of sewer pipes. the same period saw the invention of the flush toilet the height of efficiency when it came to making what you didn't want to see any more disappear. discussed for fecal matter is a human constant. and our super expensive and sophisticated system does all it can to evacuate excrement every day. we produce about one overly of urine and about $400.00 grand off. why do you want to add another few gallons of water to make the problem bigger and then
10:24 am
go and filter it out? it must be crazy. when you're working on the toilet issue. you constantly hear about mister toilet. a business man in singapore who at the age of 40, realized that all he had done was accumulate money based on the life expectancy of a singapore young man. he calculated how many days he had left to live and decided to devote them to a single cause, the revolution of sanitary facilities. so when i was 3 or 4 years old, we live in a come phone, which is like a slum village. and we do not have pilot in our own house. the toilet is in the row of hot with british bucket system. so you go up a few steps and you are squatting on the blank. and then the you put into the bucket. when the bucket truck comes to collect it and replace it with
10:25 am
a fresh new one, everybody wants to go to the pilot. but after a while is the full of other people's and the different colors. and then you have any pets with the blood. by the paper and the flies immediately come and there it is. very, very disgusting and very disturbing mister toilet, but all his weight behind the battle against sanitation inequality. he wanted the whole world to take on the issue he found in the world toilet organization, through which he talks about troops on every continent. over the last 10 years, the stars have aligned the u. n's sustainable development goals of put sanitation at the center of global concerns. for n g o's, for the people who always worked in development, it's a toilet moment. they feared,
10:26 am
would never come. a furnace from billiards, rational c, p o, the bill gates foundation founded several studies and research labs in the field of sanitation to try to gather more data on this subject. yeah. i wasn't remotely shocked to see someone outside the field showing interest. okay. junky aren't there . i see. yeah. not like don't ask, it's always good to have a different kind of actor in the development sector up with someone who's able to challenge our own development practices. look more, he was, he got, there's a complimentary dynamic in that kind of approach. hope all pipe he could develop on mush response gone the almost when was you do complement i he was he no dancer or suit not at the push. all development experts will tell you for decades, rich countries have been digging dry toilets in poor countries to bury waste. and they have a very hard time convincing states that it's a vital public health issue. all that was true until october, the 2nd 2014 i'm
10:27 am
glad you did that. why? we bought them a lot of that by letting you buy banner. yeah. that, that but on a monthly hey, i indian prime minister la render and moody. i chose gand his birthday to announce the launch of the biggest ever latrene building campaign for them to plug in. you know, in his speech, he said that a nation like india, which sends its own satellites into space, can no longer allow it to people to relieve themselves outside. the figures are stark at the time of the 900000000 people in the world who had no sanitary facilities. 40 percent were indian that not only due to the vastness of the country or its lack of infrastructure by a prevalence of outdoor deification in india is also due to a cultural problem. some dr. pat act created through lab
10:28 am
international which wants to put an end to a tradition that lasted thousands of years in india. the one which involves leaving the handling of proved to the untouchable cast away our child. i just, i go through and i don't fight that matter. my then mother forced me to swallow foul gun and to drink got. busy eulley in the ancient sacred texts of hinduism, required a man to difficult on the arrows flight from his home. and if there was unfortunately, excrement very close to your home, it was considered absolutely unclean to take care of it. so the untouchables went from house to house to pick up your feces. a living up in rochester and i picked up peoples fecal matter leakage when we were hungry or
10:29 am
thirsty people gave us water or left over food on it, but without ever touching us. so wasn't the little they tossed some coins at our feet, we really suffered that we couldn't do anything else. pick to that. it's what we've always done. generation after generation. i got a legible, there has never been any other option for us giving a lot of food that would have gone a lot, a lot of li company if we had tried to sell vegetables on the no one would have bought them this year been get they can look some of the vehicles go we later, the garden i don't about himself, a member of the very high brahman cast decided to go against his own class interests. and to break with tradition, i study finds my study. oh,
10:30 am
their new daily, his organization, hosts a school for children of untouchables. everything is devoted to showing that excrement has value, that it can be used to make gas for cooking. for lighting, for feeding plants. dr. patrick wants to convince his fellow citizens, the toilets are desirable space and that you should have one at home rather than defecating outdoors. he has even created a toilet museum for business, which generates the money for doctor pat. tax organisation is public paid toilets, thousands of which are spread all over india employing more than $35000.00 people. he's even creating the taj mahal of public urinals all this so that the hindu culture of hating excrement no longer.
