Quite lot of public anger in Thailand at the moment over a CNN crew being pictured climbing over a fence to exit the cordoned-off scene of the shooting at the nursery in Nong Bua Lamphu after recording footage inside the building which was aired on the channel.
CNN say that their journalists were given permission to go inside by public health officials but this was disputed in strongly-worded statements by the Foreign Correspondents Club and the Thai Journalists Association.
They are currently being investigated by police and it is also being reported that they entered the country on tourist visas so were not eligible to work.
Comment from the BBC's SE Asia correspondent, who also said that he stopped another unnamed media team from climbing over the gate to get into the nursery:
