much more. radicalized an online way that makes it harder for people to detect what's happening in the political climate has definitely added fuel to it i think we can't you know draw a direct causal line but it certainly legitimized added fuel to i mean when you have language that dehumanizes migrants are immigrants that you know depicts immigrants in really negative dangerous ways that deploys language of invasion of infection you know all the kinds of language we've heard about migrants and refugees that feeds this this kind of radicalization and fear of the other that is at the root of a lot of these white supremacist movements the laws francesa being had a causal geria those demonstrators continue to demand president bush to flee because resignation weeks of mass protests have already forced the ailing president to drop his bid for a fifth new prime minister appointed this week assured the formation of

a technocratic government which he said will be open to all the protests say the changes of many cosmetically with the aim of keeping beautifully. this is to say no to all the changes that have been made recently that is to say to this government and to the system that it's over for them that's it. he said in his last message that he understands the people therefore he is no longer seeking the fifth term we tell him on this holy friday and we hope it will be the last that people came out to say no to an extension leave leave leave us. right let's speak now to a bad dream here's a lecture on islamic studies here at castle university he's joining us live thank you very much indeed for coming in the protest says the opposition movement if you like of secured quite a significant victory insofar as beautifully chris said is not going to run for

a fifth term what specifically do the protestors want given that they're still in the streets today failed like the power in the shaping of their future they don't like any individual or any group to act on their behalf. president with a flicker is. kind of a response to the demonstrators he accepted that he would not stand for a fifth mandate. but extended the existing one so they consider that him staying from now until the end of two thousand and nineteen is one more year is the same as an election for one year but he will not stand for the future ones i mean i'd like to shape their future themselves and furthermore i've heard many of those in the opposition talk about the proof the liberal which they describe as

being this nexus of politics business a military interests. forming basically the harbor if you like of power in algeria they want that dismantled that's a huge task isn't that they get to have to engage with. they they certainly have to and there is no magic the people who are in place and they have power they have. it's not just the amount of people that's going to push them out of but i think the resistance the continuation of protesters. the nature of. that actions being peaceful very civilian encompassing all of our categories of people youth and old men and even those of a special needs are standing for the good cause we would like to shape our future

we don't like any group or any individual to act on our behalf but the challenge upon them now really is that they have to organize themselves and their children eyes and selves a form of leadership that you know. one of the points of strength of these protests is all the people are taking part south north west east. all the all the groups or professionals or civil servants they are taking part but the point of weakness there is not a leader there is no figure who can claim that i. represent all these people i think called for all the protesters to organize themselves called for the poor the political parties to. to act clearly and to establish a good relation with the protester to claim that they cannot present them so we need a clear leadership for all the people that it is to represent this at this particular point in the opposition movement do you think that that is something that they can

deliver are they working on it certainly yes because they held so many meetings gatherings and they have issued some statements but who can claim that i think out of prison the protesters i cannot see i don't see any of the political leaders who can who is accepted by the people of protesting who are on the streets who are calling for change so there is still a point of weakness here and i hope that all the algerians there is a good point of strength i think that the military is not acting is not pushing an agenda against the others which is a very good point algeria is a major player in the whole region i have to appreciate all that algeria people and military played in the stability of the region. for example and we have to thank all the. the big brother who played

a very good at all in painting this stability in a very disturbed in very disturbed. region and we hope that the protesters would. would select would point to someone or a group or a figure who care to present them and a serious political discussion and dialogue can start for the future of the tree thank you very much and welcome. now we know the girls are israel fence area there. after israeli airstrikes hit the besieged gaza strip the israeli military says around one hundred hamas targets were struck early on friday it was in response to a rare rocket attack on the israeli city of tel aviv the exchange of fire is raising fears of an escalation of the conflict. is

a mistaken launch that either there was potentially been some kind of technical problem or that it was a a lower ranking group of of hamas members who carried out the launch without the sanction of the upper leadership hamas has denied responsibility as has islamic jihad for launching those rockets there were nine other projectiles launched during the course of the israeli response jr early hours of friday morning none of those causing any damage or injuries six of them intercepted by the iron dome anti-missile system and how much has also decided in a pretty unprecedented way or actually one president in way during the course of the nearly year long great march of return protests at the border every friday it's decided to call this friday's protests off i think both sides are trying to signal to each other that there is a way out of this without escalating towards a major conflict certainly something that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is not seem to want just a few weeks out from a national election and over career is considering suspending talks with the u.s.

stanley we are joined now by major artists who often appear on afro beat space but also have a very distinct style of their own at a community go to is a nigerian singer songwriter who's what draws on elements of high life his albums have written high in the billboard wild albums chart he joins us from all stay where he is due to perform at south by southwest sydney is a singer songwriter from nigeria music features afro pop sounds and has hit the top ten in the billboard. world music chart she joins us from lagos and from the kenyan capital nairobi we have the n m a but as a and when it's awesome to mano hello gentlemen from sell to so a group that has won several m.t.v. awards oak as well as the best group in the whole of africa congratulations to you let me share this tweet with you guess this is from prepaid in prime i think all artists work hard but african artists are making incredible strides and inspiring

millions despite various limiting the fact is simply you pick up first of all this idea of you working incredibly hard to make your music can you give us an example. i guess i could say that are. there. it's very possible or. you can say that the are are kind of again in our lives you know we're really like incline trees that are like. you know when you have you know you don't necessarily have. the only thing you need you know like at your beck and call you don't use and then when you want to see you have extra hard to get the kind of attention you need you know to track your music so that that's what. i think is always hard for an artist to describe their own music so i'm going to get so to so to tell me what do how would you say cities music kind of resonates for you how would you

describe it because i can't get her to describe her own music genter when how do you do it. how do you do it. you know. or they may. or may. be going to. work. and. you know there are. safin learning algorithm i apologize connection isn't i right what talk about music and audie on the connection from nairobi isn't that great he did get that we did get the gist of what you were saying so let's not talk about survey let's listen to have a listen to i. would. be to every.

event. i can a second to have you here in the makes when you first started making music you for having me it's good to have you here and when you first started making music what was your and what were you trying today. so. i mean i didn't get to run up i didn't get the right or first move i was basically trying to sound like somebody else i think for everyone and i woke up that time and i was not going to mars i was always under. the let's see let me i want i want to please you i don't dance moves you have the brain i dance moves suddenly yes you know how to make your friend i'll tell you when i was always right in trying to sound like american public it wasn't

working but i thought about cute i really grew up enjoying king sunny day it would be that's old undernourished that's back in the day. i know i know dad is on that record he's a play the record. i love him i bet i always played that so i kind of interest and i grew up to listen that's so you singing to a lot of the sounds right this creates. the fray you know so it kind of influenced my sound so i kind of just tried to merge kinks on the idea and then be eating the salad and that's what he was talking what's a good way to describe consumption and i die with that the high life that. is you know you know you and your so there's a lot of those meal influences let's see how it's turned out let's have a listen to adequately this is his latest i mean the big let me just on. the back.

to. the book was. to the over the bold the it was such a was the below. us cutter cutter on twitter says we could have never felt more proud to have our own genre of music on the airways of just more than african so really kind of appreciating the the sound that you're putting into your music and it can a how long does it take you to find that sound. like a year yeah i don't know. yeah it to me.

because i remember when i was always struck was i was always singing our songs solution to anything to see she she never saw any of them brilliant in a song. once and then she said i think she's thomas more given a short. there's something i should really reveal about you to all of nigeria saying how why are you mentioning this that i have a look at this i'd like to see me gold finally video emerges from singers of wedding ceremony so you're both well know singers i had say simmias high in the charts when you are taking a no pressure how do you work together as a musical competent in totally different things you also want and see me sound is so different i'm not oh i'm only acting where i am i think. we we understand you understand presence it's not just like you know our outside of music inside of music. and hundred twenty five mics are just and you

know like man in reno i respect you know and i'm wrong. and he also. means that we're not making anything each other based in the i mean i think it works for a. gentle soul so we have some specific questions in for him t.j. says i love their songs because most of the lyrics tell a positive story about the continent of africa to the western world. pick up on this idea of being so positive with your lyrics. well. i do want to. look. back. and see if it's also striking i think. i came. out and.

what china. this morning i also want to bring in hand this is looking at this tape because still to sell it is legendary for its collaboration why do you do that the enemy not just. between countries if. you can see and follow continent. and. it wasn't for immigration.

ok gentlemen i'm getting the gist of what you're saying again i apologize to obvious what you mean what i was very bad as i'm no reflection on how they perform they are amazing in performance i want to have a listen to one of the latest tracks speeches. hinske is cool short and sweet have a listen. i couldn't say when stanley was on a little bit of the strain made that report with luca we were talking about afro

beats as a sound and that's not the saying music as acro point which is the kind of music that a fellow can. and then family actually cut a rule to the world music scene it's very different but it's also kind of almost a casualty and people say that to you do they cool you part of the afro and. interestingly i don't i don't get called afrobeat so i think for the most i've seen here so i think yes but in my korea. alternative when i get old time. image you're saying that if you don't listen to me you can listen to somebody else you can listen to me like i want you to listen to me everybody should listen to me so i don't have a problem with actual beats it's gradually work what we're finding ways to kind of put african music in the home right but we should also understand that there are

all the songs so i should be the origin i want which is why i feel like it's more jazz and then look like actually going to be instruments right. and that's not that's not what most were doing today so after me i think came from london and then i think it's just a week so just make iraq a music go home says the world music now we're used to so i think it's. i think it's a good step in right direction right now because i mean i feel like eventually begin to understand that this actually in me sound nigeria and it actually. you know i want to play similar to you a comment from la community this is falana and she's talking about how you cast a fighter for music that's coming out of the continent right now john represent our music coming out west africa specifically nigeria and has now grown to resent all car music coming from the continent and i think that's where the challenge of the term doesn't. take into account the diversity of different sounds and genres

and it also doesn't take into account the history of using coming up with africa so it was specifically called for peace that was extremely hot in there internationally renowned in the seventy's and none. we are not live white now see me on you tube an editor in banda says for afrobeat a blend of african music and western music i feel the blending of african and western music is creating a gap in terms of maintaining the true culture of music rhythm with which africa is identified with is this i'm just wondering is it an academic conversation going from wrestle with it when you're putting your music together. after the return i don't really read it i think that right now. i don't know you know so many people around. the country are really the worst in people are usually elaborate ben ownby just write everything and then go. or.

are you know nine. you know arty. doing you know but like right now it. would be after. we are going to get down to what you know right now what we have. all the attributes i feel like we've. really as we all know. that there's not just you know like. you know and i think you knew it was lost because there's an entire continent different regions have different sounds very specific sounds that this is koalas. and he says that western artists are out to capitalise all african artists have been huge but they never get the recognition they deserve except when westerners make it their thing where they go to the continent and they say oh oh and i work at a can lay i'm going to work with simeon and then that will make me sound cor i can do you have a take on that. i mean you know there's no denying that that's happening right now

but. what i really like you are not music i'm traveling for a long time. remember african queen street classic you know she would only make you look cool now. you know this started from the amusing are always been you know i'm in these troubled run the world i mean think about. think about. so it's a. big hollywood making me feel in the culture now and then make it look like is the world it's always been called. tongue or larceny is tweens this the music that you're making the music the making future of music my opinion although genres of music are exhausted afrobeat after pop after i saw whatever you want to call it offers fresh options simmie you know. i think it's rash especially for webster because this is something that big and

lots of you say like you would need some people really like the western culture to try to where you can really could really replicate it because it's not something that's a regional you can only try to last when you're still by there's so much that in by you know like all all look at this being that we did this go by but you can only state the thing you know like it or pretty nigh langridge of pretty p.j. neatly for example you can't say exactly you can try you know and i think that we got it right he lit. it can't really do that so you'll need us and i think that that's where we you know with down and if you can you like my music you like what i'm trying to do you can take away from me or whatever you want or not and that's where we all wanted the power that. i can lay you're sitting in austin texas right now you're going to be performing at by southwest what is it that you're going to be doing for that audience is an audience that loves music what are you going to

bring to them that no one else can actually bring. so last year i did my first three straight yes i did say yes there were not really. about the kinds and it was really amazing that good luck would be back this year because i have new songs and . i've gotten because of my live performances. so it's going to be look different star which i phone is going to be interesting really internal like a i like i like the what do you mean by interesting scary i was really crazy because we're going to. do i mean i don't do not want to speak to this. as a joining of being on stage. i would like to see that i had unless i want to get on the plane to see doris well are under general i want to see me as laughing how does your husband test you know i was watching this international journey he doesn't

dance well ok of that i think yeah like. i'm in his and yelling at me yeah our kids just like and everything that we think that makes. your route. adequately and simeon who actually married to each other thank you so much for talking to us about your music that you're making in the continent and elsewhere and also the soldiers so thank you so much they're already out at least we got a little essence of you were able to play your music i have to say thank you so much to all of the team. and sagna who are over in austin texas a ads of his own camera and editing insomnia was the film producer extraordinarily could allow you know her genius thank you to watch the team at south by southwest we will continue on the stream next time thanks for watching. you

says can only be called a terrorist attack at least one gunman opened fire during friday prayers at two different mosques and christchurch the latest death toll is forty nine with a similar number injured in hospital the twenty eight year old man is jew and court charged with murder we will go live to andrew thomas and crys church shortly but first the tory gate and the wraps off the day's events. this was the scene shortly after a gunman opened fire at a mosque in christ church the worshippers some injured themselves are surrounded by the bodies of family members and friends. as the wounded were rushed to hospital police were arresting one of the suspects in a busy suburban area in another part of the city they say they say for disabled one of two bombs found in the car that he was driving. early the city's main al new mosque was targeted during friday prayers by

a white man wearing military style uniform and a camera mounted on his helmet here but. what it would not talk me here looking a lot of he started it is started shooting and the people of the. issues and the shots and. that's a good insight and you go one by one if you kill him and some people that the gunman live streamed his attack on facebook as he indiscriminately opened fire on more than two hundred worshippers i was hearing that a shooting after a shooting of the shooting it went on. six minute or more in. could hear screaming in the crying and. some people you know dropped dead shortly after that shooting there was a similar attack on worshippers at lynnwood mosque about ten minutes away police

have arrested a number of suspect think looting an australian born man new zealand's prime minister said they weren't on any security watch list and said new zealand had been the target of what she described as a terrorist attack because it was a diverse nation that welcomed migrants we new zealand. we were not a tag it because we are a safe harbor for those who fight. we were not chosen for the sake of violence because we can darn rices them because we're an on clay for extremism. we were chosen for the very facts that we are none of these things australia's prime minister is also a pulled and shocked we stand here and condemn absolutely the attack that occurred today by an extremist right wing violent terrorist. that is typed in the logs stolen the logs in

a vicious murder suspect that has climbed so many new zealand's police haven't drilled out the possibility of more suspects being at launch and a warning muslims to stay away from mosques nation wind we have staff around the country ensuring. that everyone has keep saif and that includes. the fairness and special tactics groups right across the country being very vigilant and having a presence around the wall of their mosques to ensure nothing but kids the national threat level has been raised from low to high as police politicians and the public come to terms with the worst and most shocking attack they've ever experienced victoria gates and be al jazeera. that's going to talk in town to thomas he is joining us live from christchurch and us very early hours in new zealand andrew but as there being any more information.

not really so that's a victorious report there the death toll the number of people killed in the two most still stands at forty nine the elmo almost the big one the one where most people were killed is about three hundred meters down this road behind me on the right hand side the gunman killed we now know forty one people least in that mosque and then drove off down this road still shooting as he drove he was firing out the car of people fleeing from the mosque because a car just behind the camera that has its back window smashed because a bullet hits it because not only was he firing at people he was also falling apart because and ended up as you know as you were saying at the lynwood mosque about a ten minute drive from here and killed more people there so now is the early hours now obviously there are lots of people in hospital we don't know the condition since an update a few hours ago now on the people who were badly injured in this attack but no doubt we'll find out more the press conference due in about four or five hours time

now by the mayor of crosscheck she will no doubt update the situation update those numbers but this by far and away yeah the most shocking it's not new zealand has ever had its first ever terrorism and one that has killed so many people and so many migrants to this country elizabeth that's in many ways almost more shocking this is a small country as you know five million not even population this city a pretty small one just four hundred thousand people live here it's hard even portion of that number are muslim and therefore the three or four hundred that were inside the al nor mosque of many more of course in the lynwood most virtually all the people of muslim faith here in christchurch will know somebody who was either killed or injured in this is attack really really horrific and given all of that anger it is almost impossible to describe just how people and christ church in new zealand as a feeding. this is

a country that prides itself on being a quiet retreats in many ways it's known as somewhere that people tell them holidays this is not a country with high security you don't see the place walking around you'll seeing them now in christchurch i don't think this city will ever forget this is going to stream really dark episodes in this city's history and indeed in this country's history christchurch had an earthquake in twenty eleven for many years since then there has been a sort of shadow that's been cost over this city i'm afraid that this whale may well it's a policy because earthquakes well horrific well shocking of all nearly two hundred people died in that there are natural disaster there not born of malice like this it's hike this is very very different an attack on everything the new zealand's downfall on its openness on its migrant culture and indeed on many refugees this is a country that's welcomed many many thousands of refugees over the years many of them will have been in these mosques many of them will have been killed they fled water all parts of the world to come here

a refuge and yet this is where they died so yeah absolutely shocking in a real blow to the psyche of this country and i imagine anger that the place of comfort and support for so many of those people affected the mosques that accord and on behind you and in fact mosques all around the country will remain shot on saturday. well there is concern that this might not be i mean there is no suggestion that there are any more time supply and we must put that caveat out there so it doesn't feel like there's an imminent danger where i'm standing right now in order to feel like there was in the press conferences that were given a few hours ago now but of course there is a risk that this could be part of something more coordinated something bigger and something more could come so yes as things stand all the mosques in this country are effectively shut muslims are told not to go to them as they were for the last four hours of friday the when they'll open them on not sure but probably next week

mosques around the country will become the place that muslims go to commiserate to remember what's happened here and to really come to terms with what's happened there and it won't just be muslims going to saudi that you can guarantee you that they will become rally points i would imagine for all new zealand who really will be shocked to the very core by what has happened here this horrific horrific as are under thank you very much for that for now that's our correspondent andrew thomas with the very latest live in christchurch thank you people from buying that they indonesia ganz syria and malaysia were at the mosque during the attack and leaders from several muslim majority countries have condemned the violence and turkey thousands took to the streets to protest the killings turkish president ever the one link the shootings to what he called the rise of islamophobia around the world he urged western countries to take immediate action other world leaders have sent their condolences to the victims and the wider new zealand community u.s. president donald trump is among those tweeting my warmest sympathy and best wishes

go out to the people of new zealand after the horrible massacre in the mosques forty nine innocent people have senselessly died with so many more seriously injured the us stands by new zealand for anything we could do god bless all. well one of the suspects released an online manifesto ahead of the attacks and that he supported u.s. president donald trump as a symbol of the new white identity but he also said that trump wasn't a good leader or policymaker. now and chapelle is looking at the online reaction to these attacks century well there's a big conversation happening online about the video footage of this event and what responsibility these platforms have the social media platforms i'm talking about and we've made a decision as a channel not to show any of the seventeen minute long video that was broadcast live on facebook in the new zealand police have urged the public not to share any

links to what they and many of us are calling extremely distressing footage but i have to say it is all over the internet at this point through how well is a technology reporter for the washington post who puts this into scope for us now before this event was live streamed on facebook the shooter announced what he was going to do on a website called a chat if you are familiar that's an anonymous message board which is dedicated to free speech but many think it's one of the one of the most vile websites on the internet because of the hate speech that is tolerated there now on h. and his comments his manifesto the video itself were praised by other anonymous users you might be able to see this comment here the video was then reposed it on you tube now the company came out and said that it is working vigilantly to remove any of that violent footage but you can't really stop people from recording it posted elsewhere takes takes work and as drew mentioned on reddit it's one of the most popular websites.
