00:00 Police in Thailand have arrested a teenage suspected gunman after a deadly shooting at

00:05 an upscale shopping center in Bangkok.

00:10 Former Soviet satellite Armenia has voted to join the International Criminal Court which

00:15 has indicted Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes.

00:24 One person has died after a lone shooter opened fire in a luxury shopping mall in Thailand's

00:29 capital city.

00:31 The emergency services said six people were treated for injuries.

00:38 Social media videos showed people running out of the building in Bangkok.

00:45 A 14-year-old suspect was arrested.

00:50 Police have not said what appears to have motivated the attack.

01:01 Russian occupation officials continue to deport Ukrainian children to Russia and Russia-controlled

01:06 occupied territories under the guise of educational trips.

01:11 Moscow-appointed Zaporizhia region occupation governor Evgeny Balitsky said that Russian

01:15 Ministry of Culture transported over 300 Ukrainian schoolchildren from occupied Zaporizhia region

01:22 to Moscow and St. Petersburg to "educate" them about Russian culture.

01:28 Balitsky stated that more than 2,500 Ukrainian schoolchildren from occupied Zaporizhia region

01:35 in total will participate in this program.

01:38 Few days earlier Russian Yamal and Enetz autonomous region governor Dmitry Artukhov stated that

01:43 the government is launching a three-year program that will bring children from occupied Volnovaha

01:49 here in Donetsk region to Russia to visit cultural heritage centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg

01:55 and Nizhny Novgorod.

01:57 Artukhov stated that 500 Ukrainian children will participate in the program this autumn.

02:04 According to Ukraine's National Information Bureau, over 19,500 children have been abducted

02:11 or forcibly deported to Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.

02:17 However, officials fear that the real figure is actually much higher.

02:21 Deported Ukrainian children, including orphans, have little means to declare themselves missing

02:26 or make contact with their relatives in Ukraine.

02:30 The Russian Federation argues that some 744,000 children from Ukraine are now living in Russia

02:38 or Russian-held occupied territories.

02:40 They are often deported under the pretext of evacuation, treatment, vacation or rehabilitation

02:47 trip.

02:52 Armenia's parliament has voted to join the International Criminal Court, a move that

02:56 has caused anger in Moscow and which has direct consequences for Russia's president.

03:02 In March the ICC indicted Vladimir Putin for abducting thousands of Ukrainian children.

03:07 It means he can be arrested under warrant in any country that signed up to the Rome

03:11 Statute, the international agreement under which the ICC was formed.

03:17 As a result, Putin's been absent from international summits, including August's gathering of the

03:22 BRICS countries in South Africa.

03:24 Putin's only input to the economic bloc's debates was conducted through video conference

03:29 calls.

03:30 Armenia, a former Soviet satellite country, said it had joined the ICC in the light of

03:34 Azerbaijan's forceful seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh.

03:38 The Azeris seized control under the noses of Russian peacekeeping forces.

03:46 The United Nations Children's Fund says more than 100,000 people from Nagorno-Karabakh,

03:52 including some 30,000 children, have fled into Armenia, which is struggling to accommodate

03:58 them.

03:59 UNICEF is providing humanitarian aid to ensure displaced children and families are cared

04:03 for in centers like this one in the city of Gores, not far from the border.

04:08 A nine-month Azerbaijani blockade of the only road linking Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia

04:14 has left many children malnourished.

04:22 Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work documenting how

04:26 electrons move around atoms.

04:29 The experiments conducted by Pierre Agostini, Franz Krauss and Anne Lewelier will help us

04:34 better understand our universe.

04:36 But there is also hope they will lead to more practical applications, such as better electronics

04:41 and disease diagnoses.

04:44 Yes, this year's Nobel Prize in Physics is about science at the time scale of attoseconds.

04:53 And what you see here is an attosecond related to one second, which is approximately the

04:58 heartbeat.

04:59 And the ratio of one second to an attosecond is the same as the ratio of the age of the

05:06 universe expressed in seconds to one second.

05:10 We are now in the world of electrons.

05:14 Anne Lewelier is only the fifth woman to receive a Nobel Prize in Physics, which comes with

05:19 a cash prize of around one million euros.

05:26 The Italian island of Lampedusa is marking a decade since a major shipwreck off its coast.

05:32 More than 360 people lost their lives in the early morning of October 3rd, 2013.

05:40 Several events have been organized on the island ahead of today's ceremony that have

05:45 been attended by both Italian and European students, representatives of international

05:50 organizations and associations.

05:54 And today, March has been organized that will be followed by a wreath of flowers that will

05:59 be thrown at sea.

06:01 Now, the aim of the 3rd of October committee, a charity that has been organizing the event

06:06 every year since 2013, is to remember those who died in 2013, but also each and every

06:12 person who has died trying to cross the Mediterranean in the past 10 years.

06:18 27,000 people have died in the attempt of crossing the Mediterranean in the past 10

06:23 years.

06:24 And the aim really is to try and answer one simple question.

06:26 How is it possible that 10 years on shipwrecks still occur and that so many people die as

06:32 a result of that?

06:35 And this has been really the main theme of this year's commemoration.

06:40 Now, the event has been particularly significant as well, given that the share of migrant arrivals

06:48 on the island has increased compared to previous years and that Lampedusa has indeed become

06:54 the main point of arrival for migrants who try to reach Europe.

06:58 George Orlandi for Euronews in Rome.

07:06 Germany's border with Poland.

07:07 New checks on those traveling between the two countries were introduced in the wake

07:11 of the so-called visa scandal in the Polish government, where allegations of corruption

07:16 have been made over the issuing of European visas.

07:22 Today is the deadline for Poland to explain irregularities in its visa issuing procedures

07:27 in front of the European Commission.

07:30 Allegations the country's central anti-corruption bureau has been investigating since July 2022.

07:36 The Polish government's provided limited information on the ongoing investigation, but journalists

07:41 have discovered new irregularities related to intermediation in the visa application

07:47 process.

07:48 We have submitted a request for a visa application, and some say a partial verification, to a

07:54 foreign company.

07:55 These people often did not make it to the European Commission or other employees of the

08:00 European Commission or the embassy.

08:01 It was not about someone from this particular company being accused of taking money from

08:02 the consulate, but to get to the European Commission for a meeting to submit a visa

08:03 document in India or in Poland, it was not about that.

08:04 It was about the fact that there was a lot of money being taken from the consulate.

08:05 The company in correspondence with me admits that it knew about such a corruption procedure

08:12 and that it always reported all such stories to the police.

08:27 VFS Global works with the Polish government and warns against dishonest, unverified intermediaries.

08:33 It denies it's been accused of wrongdoing in Poland.

08:38 We just deal with the administrative tasks, checking the forms, etc.

08:43 We don't get involved in visa decision-making processes.

08:47 At no time since we've been working for the Polish government have any of our members

08:52 of staff been arrested or investigated for any wrongdoing related to Poland visa services.

09:01 There was an incident recently where some members of our staff have been accused of

09:09 malpractice.

09:10 That is for an operation related to another client government and the moment we discovered

09:17 these allegations we immediately informed the local police.

09:22 The visa scandal, but also the rising numbers of unregistered crossings on immigration routes,

09:27 whether through Russia and Belarus or the Balkans, have made all Polish borders more

09:31 closely monitored recently.

09:33 We have strengthened our control over the Slovakian and Czech borders.

09:39 We also have a slightly strengthened control over the Lithuanian border.

09:45 We also have such controls at the border with Germany.

09:46 The subject of migration is one of the key themes of the election campaign.

09:50 The approach to the issue and solutions proposed by politicians will have a big impact on how

09:55 Poles will vote in less than two weeks' time.

09:58 Magdalena Chodownik for Euronews, from Słubice.

10:01 The United Nations has approved sending a security mission to Haiti.

10:08 The aid mission was requested last year by its government and the vote passed with 13

10:13 members in favour.

10:14 Russia and China abstained.

10:17 It aims to help Haitian authorities control an ongoing wave of violence between armed

10:22 groups, which has already led to more than 3,000 murders this year alone and more than

10:27 1,500 kidnappings.

10:29 The UN mission, which will be led by Kenya, is authorized to take all necessary measures

10:34 to disarm the criminal groups.

10:40 Cherry blossoms in Paris.

10:42 It's a sight that would have inspired awe and wonder if they just bloomed six months

10:46 earlier.

10:48 But this beautiful sight is now seen as an ominous warning.

10:52 "What's really surprising is that a tree that normally blooms in April, is now in its

10:58 second bloom, or a cherry tree is in its second bloom.

11:00 I didn't even know it existed.

11:01 I had never seen that."

11:03 Further north, temperatures reached 27 degrees Celsius on Monday, which is impacting fruit

11:08 trees and the farmers who planted them.

11:11 "We see a growth of shoots, even though it stopped growing in August.

11:17 And now we see a growth of about 10 centimetres.

11:20 The risk for the tree is that it will start to bloom very quickly and not at the right

11:24 time.

11:25 And then I won't be able to harvest."

11:27 These events are a consequence of unusually high temperatures, and France is not alone.

11:32 Austria, Germany, Poland and Switzerland also recorded their hottest September on record.

11:39 2023 is also slotted to become the warmest in human history, as climate change accelerates.
