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 the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. thailand has a gun problem. it was in evidence nearly 2 months back when i'm ex police one killed 24 children at a childcare center in a gun and knife attack that i can. ne thailand shook the country into facing uncomfortable truths 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 known 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. whitley a pulse father, sir, a phi 10 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 need on no camp. his story is an example of thailand's come culture where it gun violence kills $2400.00 people every year. ever 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 off of cottonwood to threaten and a higher number of murder. allen, have a very big market and they're going gun market, although must shootings in thailand or rare individuals and families have been paying the price of gun violence, which i, upon this frustration that, that hasn't been enough to reform gun loss, court ha, quality 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 i'm in my opinion, if you definitely help. ah. but at the more men, there has been no measure to screen and, and co health of the our applicant for our guns in thailand. yet it has been a suggestion. ah, 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? i'm not serious. there has been a lot of attempts to improve the law or to make it

become more strict. but at the same time, 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 on full 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 previous gun and the mass true team 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 deps and it happened in a shopping mall, as i said. and in a very big city in also in hot is region. but obviously, there hasn't been any change since that all mass shooting at them all by them later, military officer. and there's precisely why the shooting at a childcare center happened last month because there hasn't been any improve to

curb di da, gun 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 are, 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 ah believes or

settings. 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 the tang than all of this. my. it's right, kiner 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 on morris romano from the thailand developer desert institute in bank often does a month. thank you, lou. india officially takes over the

presidency of the g 20 to day. the one year term sharing the world's 20 biggest economies is an opportunity to set the genders and shine spotlights on global issues that need attention. india is put in climate change at the top of its priorities for the group. but as our report shows, there's far more the last day of the g. 20 summit in bali, the presidency goes to india. it's a big job. the g 20 represents 19 major countries as well as the european union. andy is expected to push international debt, economic growth, and food in energy security to the top of the agenda. it also wants to showcase its own advances and its role in technology worldwide. india with ease of dos, job of navigating the biggest economies in the midst of a global, downton. and at a time of escalating tension between the united states and china. the long term impact of the pandemic and the war in ukraine are also challenges that india have

to grapple with in its ear of heading the g 20. there's a theme for this year's presidency, global unity, one earth, one family, one future and even a government created logo. but there are power politics at work as well. india sees itself as representing a particular group of countries. we are going, we have taken over the chairmanship in a few days, formally, informally, already taken away from indonesia and following up will be blazin and then south africa. so we have the rear opportunity of being in the midst off the global south leading the g to n b for for successive years. and i think that makes it a great opportunity. not only for india, but to the country though, the south within the g 20 to deal with situation, which is getting extremely difficult with the big power rivalry between the us

and china, the g 7 and russia. yeah, you know, stultifying all decision making. so we have to look at the real problem. the world was not creating new ones and ambitious agenda. india has plenty of work ahead as it takes the g twenty's help turning to the well kept our it's proving once again that national teams also have fun bases in far away places. one side that's long inspired global admiration is argentina. and it's always in focus player linelle messy. his biggest fans might not be in south america. but in south asia, ah, huge crowds erupted into a frenzy of celebration as argentina scored a crucial goal at the world cup, but thousands of kilometers away from the action. and katara, many of these die hot argentina fans have never stepped foot in latin america.

put by frenzy to fever pitch in bangladesh. i mean, i'm a brazil fan, but my argentina friends brought me here and they thanked me with this. garland them again waving their flags that they'd been born in buenos aires, bangladesh, hope their adopted team makes it all the way this year. that's it for today of is more updates from the regional know website you'd have the dot com forward slash a shell. and as ever, you can follow us on facebook and twitter into tomorrow is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what he could look like will return in the normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult.
