mozambique and zimbabwe. and yellow vest protesters clashed with riot police as they see new momentum in the uprising against president michel. we begin in new zealand where the security level remains high following the massacre at two mosques in the city of christchurch more than forty nine people were killed when a gunman opened fire during friday prayers and acts that sent shock waves through the country more than forty people are in hospital some of them in critical condition prime minister just sent to arda and met leaders of new zealand's muslim community and assured them of her government's support she's also promised to introduce tougher gun laws off date was revealed the main suspect had five guns he'd acquired illegally act he has been charged with murder but did not enter

a plea or seek bail when he appeared in court around the world there's been an outpouring of grief and solidarity for the victims their families and muslims with organized marches and vigils let's go live now to wayne hey who is in the city of christ church will clearly what has taken place in the city has reverberated far beyond new zealand's borders but tell us more about the details that are emerging as to how and why something like this could have happened. yes you certainly right they have been many conversations well wishes contacting new zealanders including the new zealand prime minister just after this massacre took place on friday as far as this community goes here in this relatively small city of christchurch well it is still very much in a state of shock they are mourning still of course this situation that has unfolded

in the city throughout the course of saturday we saw a very steady stream of people coming to this side here to pay their respects to those who were killed on friday this road leads down to the el nor mosque just a couple of hundred meters behind me which is where most of the people were killed on the friday saturday as you mentioned was also the first chance that we had to see the main suspect in course cuffed and dressed in white prison clothes australian born brinton terence stood before a judge charged with murder you. without. terrance is the main suspect of an attack at this mosque in christchurch a survivor filmed the scene inside moments after the gunman had opened fire the gunman live streamed his attack on facebook as he indiscriminately opened fire on more than two hundred muslim worshipers shortly after that shooting there was a similar attack at lynnwood mosque about ten minutes away four patients and dogs

on their way into the hospital yesterday dying before they arrived those injured ranged in ages from a very young to cry to early patients eleven of them are in the intensive care unit . including one female a mid twenty's all of those in i.c.u. what we would consider a critically ill. new zealand's prime minister said the suspects arrested weren't on security watch lists arriving with a bomb disposal robot the police have started their investigation in did need in a small city to the south of christchurch where terence lived the area was evacuated as a precaution earlier they had discovered two bombs in the main suspects. the unprecedented violence has prompted the government to commit to changing gun control laws 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 police politicians and the public come to terms with the worst and most shocking attack the ever experienced as the forensic work is completed the size of the police cordon around el nor mosque is reduced those who came here to pay their respects to the dead made sure that hundreds of floral tributes would not be left behind. when we were just seeing images of the gunman having made his first course of parents to tell us more about what we are likely to see in the coming days and weeks. yes well he was charged with just one murder one count when he made that appearance on saturday morning that's more a procedural thing than anything else we fully expect there will be of course more

charges laid against him so he was remanded without the plea there was no opportunity to enter a plea to that one charge and he will appear again on the fifth of april we also have to remember that there were three other people arrested on friday one of those people has been released without charge two others are still being held by police and we really don't know much about those two other than one is a man one is a woman police are saying that they are still investigating whether there is a link between those two and the main suspect who appeared in court on saturday morning there was another revelation that came out within the last few hours that brinton terrence e-mailed a copy of his so-called manifesto documents a very long document full of hate speech to the prime minister of new zealand as well as other politicians in new zealand media organizations as well around seventy email addresses received this document from him that was sent around ten minutes

before the attacks took place on friday afternoon another prime minister has said it went to her public e-mail address which gets many e-mails directed to it not to her personal address so it would have been impossible to intercept that in time and be able to prevent the attack from taking place so that revelation coming out within the last few hours thank you very much for the latest from the city of christchurch when i say my viewers have been explaining how they escaped the gunman at the two mosques andrew thomas brings us 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 were survivors and their stories one feed. her head started his.

three or four minutes into. when you heard the shots. noises coming near so then i decided to. trade and jump on my wife tried to support here this different sister linda and when she tried to talk took it like that. so i want to come in you know on that and my wife it's a joke here and so i wanted to go to linda and linda is right one of my friend knows he is from india no it was him run it was short it's one blood on his shoulder so i was holding him and then the gun gunmen the gun through the window and shot him while he was on my lebanese shooting couple of shots in the head he was a teen people of. all when he finished the he left of the down over the way.

friday's attacks were targeted at migrants and muslims but their impact has been t.n.i. to all new zealanders in horror and sadness some echoed the prime minister's call for urgent action on guns i think we should ban all guns in new zone dannie people today have guns is the place and the armed forces the wrist should be obeyed it does made of a saying gan or well one thing. got the hanes on all guns thought it should be all been those who came to pay tribute saw the police working nearby they saw the hearses to arriving and leaving regularly collecting bodies from the al nor mosque this tribute has grown steadily over the course of saturday hundreds of . down here. in quiet contemplation there are of course very serious questions

still to be answered but there's also grief. to express. him has more from the australian city of grafton where the suspect brenton tyrant grow up. this is a community in shock tolerant 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 believes 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 it's going to be associated with the attack in

christ church 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 has received messages of condolence from many world leaders including the u.s. president on the trunk. 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 what offer of support the united states could spread wide my message was sympathy and love for all muslim communities. united nations forensic teams have started examining bodies from mass graves around the northern iraqi town of saenger home to the minority group estimated that more
