this trade a extreme rough getting 200 people in june around the world, more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah, this is either been used a shirt coming up to date thailand dead league gun culture. 24 children died in a shooting spree nearly 2 months back in a child care center. it's opened old wounds for other victims of gun violence and lead to questions around what time they should be doing to control it. plus india

officially takes over the jeter and the presidency. what issues when delhi be spotlighting in the coming year for the world's biggest economies? ah, i british manager, welcome to did up the news asia, glad you could join us. thailand has a gun problem. it was in evidence nearly 2 months back when an ex police when killed $24.00 children at a childcare center in a gun and knife attack. that attack in ne thailand shook the country into facing uncomfortable troops. about its gun culture. thailand has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in southeast asia and off of the philippines has the 2nd highest number of gun debts. the government has promised to enforce gun control laws more strictly including requiring a psychiatric evaluation before

a license is issued. but these measures come to nate for some if to to my putting up home had knew that her father would have a shuttle if she would have taken a lot more pictures of him home. my father rarely had his picture taken. he didn't like get a high noise wittily upon his father sir a 510 years ago. and wanted to help brigitte. but it didn't go as planned. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha, the fate got out of hand. and my father was shot in the face. no, nathan o'kahn, his story is an example of thailand's gun culture where it gun violence kills $2400.00 people every year. every 6th person here has a gun. as shops are easy to find. in fact, many of them are owned by government officials. experts say the number of gun

owners is only rising. after 2014 re theater. the higher number of converted threats. hm. and a higher number of murder allen have very big market and they're going gun market. although most shootings in thailand are rare, individuals and families have been paying the price of gun violence. which a upon us frustrated that that hasn't been enough to reform gun laws or ha politic or it makes me angry, but i can't do anything about it. how many i mean i and gentlemen are for more context is dr. barra semenoff. she's a senior research fellow and head of source and development policy at the thailand development research institute in bangkok. but to some i know the government has announced it will enforce gun laws more strictly including psychiatric evaluations before gun licenses are issued. when these measures help curb gun violence

it though, in my opinion, if we definitely help. ah, but at the more men, there has been no measure to screen and in co health of the applicants for our guns in thailand. yet it has been a suggestion that came after the incident at the mast shooting at the child care center last month. but ah, legally and officially there hasn't been any improvement on the rules and regulations unfortunately. but the tylen already has these rules and regulations. it does have gone laws. is it a matter of implementation? is the government serious a lottery us there has been a lot of attempts to improve the law or to make it

become more um strict. but at the same times when it comes to implementation, as you said, all the details about the process of gun issuance. there hasn't been any re wise to make it more enforceable. ah, a lot of our implementation right now when it comes to gun permit issuance are still relies on discretion of officers. whether or not to grant the permit. yes, there has been please. do you think that the time is or no? is it a watershed moment after the massacre of children in long boil armful province?

but you are referring to, is this the moment the thailand can actually grasp this moment and actually bring about a change? i hope it is the moment, but unfortunately, i would like to point out to the pre wis gun. and the mass true thing in thailand, which happened 2 years ago in a shopping mall by a military officer. and at the time, i think there were around $30.00 to $40.00 dips, and it happened in a shopping mall, as i said. and in a very big city in also in the heart is region. but obviously there hasn't been any change since that all massed shooting at them all by them later military officer. and that's precisely why the shooting at

a childcare center happened last month, because there hasn't been any improve to curb di da can control in thailand why. why are gone so popular in thailand? that's a very interesting question. i think on the popularity of 4 guns reflects 2 things. one is the trust in police officer. and you know, if you trust that police officer in thailand can take care of, you can give you safety. there's no need for you to or not than to can to protect yourself, right? so it might be the question about whether or not people trust the police force. and the 2nd thing is probably related to

the cultural believes or said things. and if you come to thailand on children's day, you will see many people would take their children to army base or to try take pictures, hoarding guns, and take pictures with a tang than all of this. my, it's right kind of concept in where louis has been, you know, wiley accepted in thailand and has never been really discussed about ah, whether or not it's suitable for the context right now. we're relieved, therefore, the timing, but thank you so much for your insights. doctor boy morris romano. from the thailand developer desert institute in bank of them is a month. thank you. lou.
