What people need to understand about the Shopping Mall, siam paragon, its one of the most visited places anywhere in asia, an incredibly popular place and a lot of Foreign Tourists go there. And its very high profile. Its about as central as you can get in bangkok so its always very crowded and it was between an hour and 19 minutes ago that people heard multiple shots coming the lower floors on the lower floors and we saw people stamping and running outside and at that stage it wasnt clear who fired or what was going on but we do know now that a number of people were hit by gunfire and some of the injuries were serious and we had a report from one medical centre that is compiling statistics saying that three people have lost their lives and died from a shooting that the police have released quite dramatic pictures of themselves confronting the shooter who gets down on his knees and then they run up and get him on the floor. It turns out that labour was his Identity Card and the fact he was a 14 year old boy is shocking and very little else is known and i think over time the police will try to piece together what happened. Its pretty unusual in thailand, this time of attack. Its very like security. It is not something people here are geared up to expect.

We are getting more information minute by minute at the bbc, so as we get it we will bring it to you, so stay with us for more. Lets bring back to the top story. The speaker of the us House Of Representatives is fighting for his political life after his fellow republican filed a rarely used motion to try to oust him. Tensions between the two republicans boiled over at the weekend after the speaker Kevin Mccarthy passed a bill, with the support of more democrats than republicans, to Fund Government agencies and avoid a shutdown. The Spending Measure left out additional funding for ukraine which matt gaetz, along with other ultraconservatives, argued the us can no longer afford. He said the us has spent too much on that countrys war with russia, and accused the speaker of doing a side deal with the white house to re introduce funding for ukraine something mr mccarthy denies. The procedural tool to remove a speaker, known as a motion to vacate, has only been used twice in the past century and never successfully. It would take a simple majority of the house to remove the speaker in a floor vote 218 votes, when no seats are vacant. Republicans control the chamber by a narrow 221 212 majority. But only a handful of hardline republicans have indicated they are willing to remove mr mccarthy. The leadership has two days to bring up the measure for a vote, though procedural tools could be used to thwart the process. And staying with us politics, former President Donald Trump is due to return to court in new york for the second day of a fraud trial that could threaten his business empire. Mr trump and his company are accused of committing rampant fraud by inflating the value of his Real Estate Empire. Mr trump, who has denied all wrong doing, was on the defensive even before the trial began. Our north america correspondent, nada tawfik, is in new york and explains what the Case Concerns and what its possible ramifactions are. Since he faces four criminal trials and the threat ofjail, a civilfraud case might seem like the least of Donald Trumps problems, but this case could turn out to be a corporate Death Sentence for parts of the Real Estate Empire that the former president built his brand around. The trial here will determine whether he has to pay 250 million in fines and potentially other penalties. And whether he and his two sons will be banned from ever doing business in new york again. But the biggest question of all is what happens to his Key Properties . Will his assets be dissolved and sold . Or will they be transferred to a new company with an independent board that donald trump doesnt control . Those are key questions that the judge hasnt ruled on yet. Trumps lawyers are likely to appeal the ruling thats already been issued. They call it outrageous. And so this is far from over. But if the Attorney General has her way, no one is above the law. The citys most famous Real Estate Tycoon may be out of business in new york. Lets speak to cbs reporter naomi ruchim. And tensions continue to rise within the Republican Party over Kevin Mccarthy what is the end game here for matt gaetz and those who want mcarthy gone . What kind of impact all these court cases have on mr trump and his campaign . Cases have on mr trump and his campaign . Cases have on mr trump and his cam aian . , , campaign . The former president is not required campaign . The former president is not required to campaign . The former president is not required to appear campaign . The former president is not required to appear during campaign . The former president is not required to appear during this | not required to appear during this trial so there is clearly a reason why he thought this would be one worth coming to. Remember, he is in the middle of a campaign and has never shied away from media coverage. The civil trial could last through december but as far as today goes, donald trump told reporters yesterday that he may be back in the courtroom again this morning and also added that he would, quote, rather be campaigning. His high stakes civil lawsuit against high sta kes civil lawsuit against the high stakes civil lawsuit against the former president could cost them a lot of capital. The Attorney General is not only asking for a massive fine, to the tune of at least 250 million, but also a permanent ban from donald trump Running A Business out of the very city where he launched his storied career. The ban would also apply to his two other sons and include a five year commercial real estate ban against trump and his organisation what is still unclear is how this may or may not impact his run for another term as president , which again is coming up injust about a yearfrom now.

Republican representative losing hisjob. Republican representative matt gaetz filed a rare motion to vacate, which forces a vote in the coming days on whether to oust him. Bipartisan legislation will avoid a partial shutdown but mccarthy responded on social media with confidence, saying simply, bring it on. With confidence, saying simply, bring it on bring it on.

Thank you very | much indeed for that lets bring you back to the uk and go to the conservative Party Conference in manchester. Its where the future of europes current biggest Infrastructure Project the high speed 2 rail link between englands major cities is dominating the headlines. The big question, will the link, known as hs2, which is already being constructed from london to birmingham, stop there . Costs have risen and the government is thought to be considering cancelling or at least delaying that second leg to the north. The route from birmingham to leeds has already been scrapped. But many voices, including several within the conservatives, say that pulling the plug on the project would paint the uk in a very bad light. Theres been no let up in the pressure on rishi sunak over hs2 and the Prime Minister was grilled during a bbc interview this morning. No, theres lots of speculation, but all i can say is im not going to be forced into a premature decision because its good for someones tv programme. What i want to do is make the right decision for the country. This is an enormous amount of peoples money, taxpayers money, everybody watching, billions and billions of pounds. We shouldnt be rushed into things like that. What people would expect from me is to take the time to go over it properly and make sure we make the right long term decision for the country. Thats what im interested in doing. I think thats what politicians should be doing. The country wants to see. Live now to manchester and our Political Correspondent, nick eardley.

Isnt itjust . | and rishi sunak did nothing to end that this morning with that non answer on what was going on with the birmingham to Manchester Leg. I think we kind of know what is going to happen. You wont find anyone in this conference who thinks hs2 is now going to reach manchester its now going to reach manchester its now about the package that the government announces to go along with that. A lot of speculation that there will be money put into an East West Route to increase connectivity in the north of england and we had one conservative mp who is very anti hs2 who represents a committee and we want to get from West Yorkshire to the other parts of the north of england, so there is a debate with the conservatives or anti hs2, but if she goes ahead with the decision in the next 24 hour is to say hs2, birmingham to manchester is being scrapped, it will cause a non mighty row with business and Opposition Parties and with some of his own parties. The West Midlands mayor, who represented big parts of birmingham, andy street, says he thinks it would be a waste of a once in a Generation Opportunity to level up. Hes not ruled out quitting his job as a conservative mayor if the government goes ahead with the decision. ~. , ~ government goes ahead with the decision.
