the prime minister's introduced tougher measures. new zealand morning following the mass shootings at two mosques and christ church forty nine people were killed more than forty others are in hospital with some and critical condition the main suspects has been charged with murder twenty or two year old brenton terrence didn't enter a plea or seek bell and he'll be back in court early next month police have searched his home and the nearby town of dunaden improvised explosives were found earlier in his car nearby homes were also evacuated as a precaution prime minister just into our journey has promised to use tougher gun laws in the wake of this attack. undoubtedly new zealanders will question how someone could have come to have been in position of weapons of this nature. one of

the issues we fry seeing is that. the guns that were used in this case appears to have been modified date is a challenge that police have been facing and that's a challenge that we will look to address in changing our laws well our journey has been meeting leaders of new zealand's muslim community and she offered her condolences and assured them of support from the government this weekend joe that i have to ensure. the safety of your freedom to me i don't worship i slam the freedom to express your culture and religion from christ church under thomas has this report handcuffed and dressed in white prison clothes australian born brinton tyrant stood before a judge charged with murder you are right without playing. tyrant

is the main suspect of an attack at this mosque in christchurch. this was the scene shortly after the gunman opened fire on worshippers the camp with the front of the door and he started to rush through to stop before the people moved around for the front. doors of the guy who was the behind the thief or. one of my friends who was next to me but before the day before the front of the. people they would be in bed for the day. the gunman live streamed his attack on facebook as he indiscriminately opened fire on more than two hundred muslim worshippers. shortly after that shooting there was a similar attack on worshippers at lynnwood mosque about ten minutes away at least forty nine people were killed while nearly as many were left injured among the thirty nine patients admitted to hospital the children as young as two years old.

four patients died on their way into the hospital yesterday dying before they arrived those injured ranged in ages from the very young to quite healthily patients eleven of them are in the intensive care unit. including one female agent who mid twenty's all of those in i.c.u. what we would consider critically ill police have arrested a number of suspects using as prime minister said they weren't on security watch lists. arriving with a bomb disposal robot the place of started their investigation into lead a small city to the south of christchurch where the main suspect lived the area was evacuated as a precaution earlier police have discovered two bombs in the main suspects car the unprecedented violence has prompted the government to commit to changing gun control laws on my understanding is he how how the category i gun license and again

i prefaced my advice currently is that he under the gun license was able to legally acquired the gun said he held they will give you an indication of why we need to change our gun laws the national threat level has been raised from low to high as a place politicians and the public come to terms with the worst and the most shocking attack they've ever experienced older people have been gathering here near the al nor mosque laying flowers and just standing in quiet contemplation there are a lot of questions to be answered about how this attack happened but there's a lot of grief and solidarity to be expressed under thomas al jazeera across church . of christ church as a city and morning in a way and he joins us live from there so way and i understand the police cordons have come down and set the scene there for us. certainly a very somber mood here and just

a short time ago as you mentioned the police very quickly moved the cordon they remove the barriers that have been in place about two hundred meters up that direction moved them down closer towards the el nor mosque where most of the people were killed on friday that site itself is still cordoned off it is still an active police investigation sides but certainly that cordon is being narrowed slowly and they say as they continue their forensic investigation as they clear certain parts of the road then they'll continue to move that cordon closer to the mosque itself but me. many people throughout the course of saturday have been coming to this area as far as they can get as close as they can get to that site to pay their respects to leave flowers behind and as andrew mentioned just have a quiet moment of reflection really about what exactly has taken place well among those people who have been doing that on saturday is christchurch resident stephen dixon stephen you live not too far away from the elmore mosque exactly what was the

scene like yesterday on friday well all of that two minutes down the road and it was not good use that it's very unfortunate what's happened to. a lot of the people you know that we've lost and stuff for the benefit to everyone's missions on fresh community this just isn't right you know i mean to be a peaceful country. peaceful. is just. i don't know what else you know my heart was at the wrong nor most what is the reaction obviously this is still very raw still very new but what is the reaction from the people of the city. i think we're upset and we're angry you know just what to expect anymore you know it's a very safe country you know we're all come together normally as one in such a place for religion stuff as people in this and i just don't know how to express it from the moment you think ultimately though given the city this whole area has

been through so much of the earthquake in two thousand and eleven that there is a resilience their determination to not let things like this overcome the the general attitude of strengths in this city in this area well look we've proved that we're very strong city before you know we just bounce back from there is and if wolf it's going to confront their loss. well of course it will do we. stephen all the best thank you very much for speaking during this tough time so that is stephen dixon a resident who lives not too far away from the alamo mosque just giving his thoughts about what unfolded on friday and exactly how this community is going to respond to this how the people of christchurch and of the province of canterbury and more broadly speaking in this very small country of new zealand hell they're going to respond to this unprecedented event. people are still in shock there and don't quite know how to react or respond thank you very much good to get to speak

to someone there on the ground thanks wayne we can now go to you. who joins us live from the australian city of grafton that is where the suspect the twenty eight year old brenton terrence bent his childhood yeah so this is the command how i understand you've been speaking to members of the community there how did they feel about the fact that one of their residents had carried out this horrific attack. it's quite obvious that the community is in shock tarrant spent the first twenty years of his life in the city of grafton this is a sleepy little town in regional you south wales that you wouldn't normally associate with a crime like this you spoken to the dane of the anglican church here and he says that the community can't believe that one of their own could be involved in a crime like this he says distressed parishioners have been calling in all day asking what it is that they can do we've also spoken to the deputy mayor who says

that this town has fallen on hard times recently economically with the loss of industry and now the community has to contend with being associated with the heinous crime in christ church on sunday there will be a number of church services will be where the community will be coming together there will be a lot of soul searching but also a show of support for the victims in christchurch libya. and at grafton that's where the suspect spent his childhood thank you very much. well world leaders have been offering messages of support to the people of new zealand on saturday the prime minister spoke to donald trump and he asked what he could do to help i spoke with donald trump this morning he sought to call us directly he very much wish for his condolences to be passed on to new zealand he asked for support

the united states could spread wide my message was sympathy and love for all muslim communities. well the u.s. president has described the attacks as terrible but the suspects manifesto suggests that trump was a source of inspiration mike hanna has this report from washington. it was a somber day of prayer for american muslims all expressing sorrow for those who died in the new zealand attacks i'm absolutely heartbroken as everybody is today i i woke up to the news with my father as well in output test and i was absolutely i needed to come to my prayer but in a nation that has seen its share of attacks on houses of worship this concern about what many view as a sometimes inflammatory comments that are uttered by the president i actually think that the rhetoric that exists from the white house is very much ignites responses that causes of else like these to happen around the world

a message driven home by this muslim leader mr trump your awards not. your policies matter they impact the lives of innocent people at home and globally in recent years the u.s. has seen an uptake an extreme right wing violence at least one convicted extremist with clearly defined links to president trump sees a say accent pipe bombs to the president's critics and had pictures of donald trump on his van. and there was no specific criticism from the president top white supremacists in charlottesville whose actions led to the death of an anti races protester the president's response there are a very fine people on both sides. after expressing sorrow for the new zealand attacks president trump insisted he did not think quite nationalists were a growing global threat i don't really i think it's a small group of people that have very very serious problems i guess if you look at

what happened in new zealand perhaps that's a case i don't know enough about it yet they're just learning about the person and the people involved but it's certainly a terrible thing and discussing his border wall the president echoed the words of one of the killers who deliberately written we are experiencing an invasion on a level never seen before in history people hate the word invasion but that's what it is it's an invasion of drugs and criminals and people the trump presidential campaign galvanized the us right wing attracting supporters like this former ku klux klan leader we are in the most critical lection probably in our history and donald trump is the guy that really stands up donald trump repudiated duke support but conservative whites with the key to his election victory a demographic the president continues to court for what he hopes will be another successful campaign i cannot al-jazeera washington. and there's plenty more still

ahead and odds is there are that event is relevant shops are reopening after a crippling blackout across the country. and we'll tell you how the revival of the art scene in iraq and the post i saw there. however the loss of warm spring sunshine across southern parts of it further north it does remain pretty disturbed more clouds and rain eerily in the cross the northwest a few some other wet and windy weather still in place then for the british isles diving down across the low countries northern parts of germany fair bit of cloud that unites us down to ward so you crying pushing down into vogue area that wet

maybe a million people in reeducation camps certainly not. only in the kings of the people's republic just probably not best just to dismiss everything as propaganda to use propaganda because you are abrasive aggressive. maybe your son challenges chinese finance. something critical of president. this would not be regarded by the western press. and i get you watching our desire and here's a reminder of our top stories this hour. the gunman arrested after new zealand's mosque attacks has been charged with murder twenty eight year old brenton tarrant

didn't enter a plea or seek bail forty nine people died in shootings that two mosques in christchurch. new zealanders have been playing paying tribute to the victims of the shootings a makeshift memorial has been set up in christchurch where residents have been gathering to pray lay flowers. and the prime minister just into our. muslim community leaders in the city and she promises to introduce tougher gun laws it has emerged that the suspect had legally obtained five guns which includes automatic weapons. so putting up resistance against u.s. backed rebels in the last shred of territory in eastern syria syrian democratic forces say three isolate fighters emerge from the villages by groups on friday acting as though they were surrendering before setting off suicide bombs six people were killed. hundreds of thousands of dollars ariens have been back on the streets then

they're demanding president abilities but defeat resignation weeks of mass protests have already forced the president to drop his bid for a fifth term but it's not been enough to satisfy the masses have been rallying against him for weeks matheson has the details. this is not what the algerian government all president up there as he's beautifully hoping for the streets of the capital and other algerian cities once again crammed with protesters demanding that the president steps down immediately as well as other critics who want a complete change of government. both of leka has been in power for twenty years he's been credited with revitalizing algeria's economy and ending fighting with armed groups in the one nine hundred ninety s. which killed tens of thousands but he's now eighty two and his health has been poor especially since suffering a stroke six years ago his critics say he's become little more than

a front man for business and military figures who his opponents say really run the country. falling oil prices badly hit algeria's economy jobs particularly for young people are scarce after four terms of a beautifully for presidency some young algerians are taking their protests on why you want to be me. we need to be me and you will be. the only i've known in my life one president beautifully i want change immediate change it does for you. to try to calm demonstrations both a flicker says he won't seek a fifth time next month's presidential election has been cancelled but no you didn't has been set former interior minister noted in bed we has been appointed as the new prime minister and plans to head a technocrat government should if it was the max. we have seen all parts of

algerian society i assure you wants to get in we are ready determined and our desire is strong and our doors are open to discuss and exchange visions oh i put it like a government says it will keep the protesters demands but demonstrators say that we is a beautiful. and the political system has been manipulated to allow the president and his backers to stay in power one step forward would be to reveal now who is. one of the persons who have been removed from his into arised i mean this is brother still running the show. are the security people serving this show or the new prime minister really a person who has authority. i the protesters fear the government is saying it will listen but nothing will change you know jeering i got my office and i'll just . a group of prayer brags that supporters in the u.k.

are about to start a fifteen day march on the group will walk the length of the country from sunderland in the north east and they plan to arrive in london on march twenty ninth that's the date of brags that. paul brennan now joins us live from sunderland so paul and could you tell us what this march is a bad record it is i guess somewhat happening already why are they doing this extensive march across the country. the. genesis is the march came about before it appeared that a deal might be possible before long twenty nine of the the organizers of the march were very concerned that wretched of kids to be slipping away from them that was has been anger among breakfasts of forces about the way the pollens in the u.k. of his been holding up breakfast and perhaps even attempting to derail brussels together and so nigel farage a cheerleader for breakfast for the leader of the ukip political party has been

a leading light in getting this march off the ground now police here in the northeast today and i can tell you that the long day viewpoint which is this public house behind me just won't media here then there are marches the moment although we are still about forty five minutes away from the last supposedly getting on the way the weather is pretty grim and the landlord of this pub when we approached him he didn't realise that this was a rendezvous point until he read in a newspaper that the organization is also a little bit unorthodox shall we say but we'll bring you as much as we can as it transpires there are a few people here already but not many had full but some of their land is quite a significant the area are a significant place and the people off on their land overwhelmingly supported for braggs it can you explain the dynamics that are happening there particularly with

the fact that they do rely on global industry their. then date i mean something and significant because it was the first place to declare a result on the evening of the birth of referendum it is a very firm supporter of just seen its heavy industries decline over the past several decades and indeed. the business plans the car plant which kind of came about in the early one nine hundred eighty s. it has also been cutting back recently decided to make the extra not a new model not to insulin they got a chance for production to japan they decided to shut down the infinity luxury brands of the range that's not going to be made to someone in the mall so the suspense assumes that the jobs that some of them does the goddess is by many as some of the epicenter of progress fifty cents a month and i think that's why it's in chosen someone says mark thank you very much paul brennan and sunderland for us thank you. businesses are slowly we are putting

in venezuela after days of nationwide electricity blackouts the other battle for power continues in the capital between the president and the opposition leader that is the books planes from. boxes of food ready to be distributed in venezuela. where the government's way of handing out subsidized food as the country struggles with the consequences of a long running crisis. because of the economic war cybernetic war or the territorial leaders that give away the boxes to the people. venezuela is recovering from a power outage that left most of the country in the dark for several days still millions of people are struggling for water that are cast and the many other parts of the country the government used to distribute this. year every month but now they're doing it every fifteen days because of the economic crisis inside there's other

means rice some flour or oil among other things many of the people we have spoken to say that it's not enough. the book says as they are known here are the only way most minnesota lands have to survive they're sold for a few cents of a dollar much cheaper if people were to get the same items in a supermarket. but just like water these days and many other things in. the boxes do not reach everyone in need. and won't be getting a clap box this month. i can't survive like this tried to see how to sustain myself my daughter is helping me but she couldn't get the clock box this month everything is extremely difficult for us these days. still claims he's the country's legitimate interest president his bid for power has the support of the united states and dozens of countries. he continues to take to the streets almost

every day on the military to rebel against i we're not begging we're demanding our right as citizens and knowing there are risks in a dictatorship like this one we see the government smiling what are they laughing at when the people are starving. but for now the military won't give in to whitelist call they remain loyal to the government even though the opposition has promised to forgive many of the crimes they're accused off. the opposition of the united states are wrong when they think that the military are defending nicolas maduro they're defending themselves because they're part of the government this is military and civilian rule where they play a crucial role and all the things that you can blame the government for you can also blame them. giving away food has been the government's way of winning times in the middle of economic trouble but the political crisis is not over and nobody

really knows how long it will last. the u.s. secretary of state might compel you is warning that they'll impose sanctions on anyone who attempts to sue the country or to citizens at the international criminal court now and november twenty seventeen a request was made by the i.c.c. prosecutor to investigate alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in afghanistan since two thousand and three the judges are still reviewing it. it has been more than a year since i saw was declared defeated in iraq but many are still trying to get back to normal life and baghdad a revival of the arts is inspiring a new generation of iraqi artists hoping to turn the page on a dark chapter in their country's history the tough economy has this report from the capital. in this square in western mosul there were once the sounds of gunfire and airstrikes screams and sobbing but on this day

doesn't have the money it needs to promote the arts community in iraq less than one percent of this year's budget was devoted to the ministry so artists and international organizations are collaborating to try to fill the gap the spanish embassy held this event to promote a new generation of iraqi artists iraq has always had of great artist but these are also one of the youngest countries in the middle east. you surely are on the side of the older artist the headlines gallery in the capital is allowing artists to stage exhibits for free it's another way to allow emerging talent to bring creations out of workshops to the eyes of potential buyers the work of some artists takes an unsparing look at the horrors of iraq's recent history while others pate a more whimsical world and then my bad guys i believe that my oc look in the post i

gathering to pray and lay flowers and prime minister just and has met muslim community leaders and the city she's promised to introduce tougher gun laws it's emerged that the suspects had legally obtained five guns including automatic weapons. undoubtedly new zealanders who question how someone could have come to have been in position of weapons of this nature. one of the issues we're facing is that. the guns that were used in this case appears to have being modified date is a challenge that police have been facing and that's a challenge that we will look to address in changing our laws or some eyes so fighters are still putting up resistance against u.s. backed rebels in the last shred of territory in eastern syria the syrian democratic forces say three eisel fighters emerge from the village of bar goose acting as though they were surrendering before setting off suicide bombs six people were
