a bond bombs were found earlier in his car and nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution new zealand prime minister just into our journey has promised to introduce tougher gun laws in the wake of the attack. and i dern has also been meeting leaders of new zealand's muslim community she offered her condolences and assured them of support from the government. that i have. no freedom to. thank like the freedom to express your. religion well people in christ church have been gathering to pay tribute tribute to those who died in friday's attacks survivors have been telling their stories of how they escaped the gunman under thomas has this report after the violent frenzy the flowers all day on saturday people came to lay them in tribute to the dead and then stand whisper and weep among those gathered with survivors

and their stories. head started his. three four minutes. when you heard the shots. noises coming near so then i decided to. jump in my wife tried to support. this different sister linda and when she tried to talk like that. one of coming you know. it's my wife it's injured here and so i wanted to go to linda and linda it's like one of my friends from india. was in iran he was. on his shoulder so i was holding him. through the window and showed him. he was.

when he finished he left of the. friday's attacks were targeted at migrants and muslims but their impact has been to unite all new zealanders in horror and sadness some echoed the prime minister's call for urgent action on guns i think we should been all guns in new zone danny people today have guns is a place in the armed forces to receive be old and it does made of a thing in ghana or. words. to haines on all guns why they should be obeying those who came to pay tribute saw the police working nearby they saw the hearses two arriving and leaving regularly collecting bodies from the al nor mosque this tribute has grown steadily over the course of saturday hundreds of

people have been down here to stand in quiet contemplation there are of course very serious questions still to be answered but there's also grief down to express anger thomas al-jazeera postures and manes when he joins me now live from christchurch so when we're starting to hear from some of the families and friends of those who were in the last year in the attack what's being said. yes well officially none of the victims have been named yes there was one name mentioned in court early onset of the morning the judge has suppressed the name of that victim but certainly some of the family members beginning to speak out now in the new zealand media about their loved ones who were inside the two mosques at the time and spoken about their final moments if indeed they were witness for example the sons of a seventy one year old band speaking about he he is believed to have tried to

shelter or provide shelter for other people inside the el nor mosque to prevent them from being attacked in the process he was killed a seventy one year old originally from afghanistan a man who was very active in the refugee community here in christchurch in fact is said to often have often gone to christchurch airport to welcome new arrivals into into this city not just from afghanistan but from other areas as well we're also hearing from the family members of a new zealand sporting representative a thirty three year old originally from kuwait who represented new zealand in this province of canterbury in the sport of football who is believed to have also been killed inside the mosque the police cordon is just a few meters from me here now it has moved slightly closer to wards the nor mosque which is another couple of hundred meters down this road which is still very much

an active crime scene and throughout the course of saturday as andrew mentioned it's been a case of the police continuing that forensic work in and around that mosque and the lynwood mosque as well and while that has been happening some of the bodies have been taken out of that area and been returned to their family members so the funeral and burial arrangements can begin as quickly as possible and that is something that news the new zealand prime minister. just endured and spoke about as well she says she said that she hoped that all the bodies would be removed from the two mosques baez said today evening well it's just gone midnight now on saturday so we believe that most of that work has now been completed if not all of it when you zealand was always seen as a very safe country and now as people come to terms with this attack is there a sense that things will have to change there particularly with security in the country. well i think that's inevitable in the

short term you're right there was a certain amount of innocence i guess you could say with new zealand it felt certainly very isolated from the rest of the world when it came to events like this happening even in neighboring australia certainly much further afield in the united states in europe and other places but this will certainly shake this country has certainly shaken the city of christchurch and more broadly people right around the country the new zealand prime minister just endured and again speaking on saturday talking about the gun laws for a start that she said will change they will amend the gun laws to make it more difficult for people to get their hands on the types of weapons that this person is alleged to have used in the two attacks on saturday semi automatic weapons which legal in new zealand if you have the right sort of permits which it appears he did have so that is certainly something that she would like to change and also the

modification of some of these weapons to make them certainly more dangerous more available if you like for people like this to use in situations so certainly i think we'll see some changes along those lines the new zealand prime minister certainly seems determined to make those changes i was just gone past midnight in christchurch there when he lived for us thank you very much. home has more from the australian city of grafton that's where the suspect brenton tarrance and his childhood. this is a community in shock tarrant spent the first twenty years of his life in grafton it's a sleepy regional town in country new south wales and we spoke with the arch dane of the anglican church here and he said that. the community can't believe that one of their own could be involved in an attack like this distressed parishioners have been calling in all day on saturday asking what it is they can do about the attack

the we also spoke with the deputy mayor and he says that this community is one that has fallen on hard times recently economically with the loss of industry and now has to contend with the fact that is going to be associated with the attack in christchurch on sunday there will be a number of church services where the community will come together will be a lot of soul searching but also a show of support for the victims in christchurch prime minister just and our journey has received messages of condolences from many parts of the world including us president trump i spoke with donald trump this morning he sought to costa rica 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 but president trump played down

the threat posed by white supremacists 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 terrible thing. in other news after killing at least nineteen people in mozambique tropical cyclone to die continues to push into southeastern africa although it is losing intensity thousands of people have been affected by the storm that has cut off power and cause major damage is to bridge bridges and roads some half a million people in this city of there i have been isolated it dies also now affecting parts of eastern zimbabwe where at least one hundred people are missing you know to feel but. i saw a woman being hit by debris it's not safe for people walking here the situation is very chaotic. they seem to move in they said it was majority of houses ninety five

parliament and took to the streets saturday's protest is the latest event in a new political strategy that has left the country with an incomplete parliament the european union says the boycott undermines democracy the opposition says democracy is already a sham because the government has allowed money from the drug trade to control it or it is huge amounts of money they have been able to penetrate the economy and of course they have bought elections they have bought judges and prosecutors the police oppositions in the country. they have made it possible for members of organized crime to become members of parliament and mayors state captured by organized crime. has led to an erosion of democracy the democratic party is ramping up pressure on the government ahead of local elections in june and more importantly a key decision by the european union the big question for albania is whether it'll

be allowed to open membership talks with the european union in june that is its only realistic chance of raising its standard of living at the moment some fifty thousand young people are still leaving the country each year to find work abroad they join the ranks of albania is already large overseas community which sends home one and a quarter billion dollars a year that is ten percent of the economy. but the e.u. is unlikely to open talks with a country that doesn't have a functioning justice system its top courts have been closed for a year as corrupt judges a rooted out some twenty three thousand cases have piled up many of them against decisions of the ruling socialist party so what was unexpected for us was to see that members of the constitutional court did not pass the vetting process as they were a fall off not justifying their worth or some of the

judges that did not pass or prosecutors that did not pass the vetting were found to have connections with. criminal organization the socialists say the courts will open again in may but that may be too late to restore transparency and political stability. john psaropoulos joins us live from the capital tehran as such on the opposition have walked out of parliament they're refusing dialogue so what do they think the best way to effect change as by holding these kind of protests on the streets what are they saying. because the opposition says that the political system is broken because what the socialist party has been effective in their words is state capture it's not it's to permeate the state machinery that you do cherie and also the economy with its own people which it says are corrupt because the state because the socialist party has been funded by drug

money and it is simply a system of internal favors to its own people whether they are politicians or business people simply employees of the public and private sectors now the opposition would like to see a public prosecutor go after the people it believes are corrupt politicians the government has appointed a public prosecutor with whom the part of the opposition does not agree they do not trust in him so they say they want a dram a to resign and for a national election to be held after the summer at that point they would like to complete the judicial reform which has been underway here for two years you know when a drama was reelected in twenty seventeen judicial reform was again the main problem with this country a lot of judges were known to be corrupt even in the supreme court and the constitutional court and one of the main plex of his platform then was that he

would complete the stooges the reform but it hasn't been completed in these past two years but this is his party says it now will be. because in june the european council will decide whether to invite helping you to open membership talks in the here and the socialist party wants to make sure it doesn't miss that deadline. completing the judicial reform providing the country with functioning top courts is a crucial part of its ability to open its membership to the democratic party says we're not going to play the government's game we're not just going to stay in poland and watch the socialist pursy do things barely within in order to start a session to achieve a new we want a clean slate the fresh college the new public prosecutor and we want to be part of the process of this judicial reform. john psaropoulos at the government at the corruption protests for us thank you. french police have fired tear gas at yellow
