9:03 pm
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 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 ultimately people want to be able to mourn right at the gates of the elmore mosque which is still around two hundred meters beyond the cordon the police are still working there still trying to piece together exactly what happened and more broadly how this was possible here in new zealand when hey al jazeera christchurch. now some survivors of fighters attacked have been telling our correspondent andrew thomas how they escaped. after the violent frenzy the flowers all day on saturday people came to lay them in tribute to the dead and then
9:04 pm
stand whisper and weep. among those gathered with survivors and their stories i don't want. her head started his. and he had just gone for three or four minutes. when you heard the shots. and noises coming near so then i decided to wall street and jump on my wife tried to support his best friend sister linda and when she tried to talk shit like that. one of the coming you know on that and my wife it's injured here and so i wanted to go to linda and linda it's like one of my friend knows he is from india and there it was in iran it was he showed us one blood on his shoulder so i was
9:05 pm
holding him and then the gun gunmen are going through the window and shot him while he was on my lebanese shooting couple of drugs in the head he was a team people of. all when he went to the border he left of the. way. 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 ban all guns in new zone dannie people today have guns is the place and the armed forces to receive be obeyed it does matter of a saying gun or whether we're. dealing with got their hands on all guns why they 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
9:06 pm
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 and solidarity to express after thomas al-jazeera postures that ward leaders are continuing to send messages of support to new zealand including the us president i spoke with donald trump this morning he sought to call us to rickly he very much wish for his condolences to be passed on to new zealand he asked for offer of support the united states could spread wide my message was sympathy and love for all muslim communities but president trump has again 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
9:07 pm
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 about the name chopra as chairperson of the australian muslim woman center for human rights and she says donald trump deliberately ignores the threat from far right groups he is consistent in ignoring the information that he receives from his own intelligence committee we've got another occasion this is no exception the fact that intelligence authorities in the united states didn't astray you have have long been one thing that the rise of right wing terror is in fact the greatest domestic terrorist by countries has been ignored by him in fact to the best of my knowledge he has actually defended initiatives that the the rates the resources of investigation interact to rotten terry us so there is a i would say this is more than just him in the situation of him ignoring it at
9:08 pm
a say there's a very abject denot now and invest in interest not the student i think that speaks to a greater collusion if you will of his of his policies and his thinking in furthering the rank eyelets that this kind of group is that china needs it doesn't come as a surprise to many people i think he's his words his commentary have always been expected all these does he's been cemented that look for others to work harder in the limitations. now when the alleged gunman appeared in court he didn't say a word bot he did send a message using a signal popular with the far right and explains. much of the world started talking about white supremacy on twitter after the attacks in christ church it was already a big topic in the united states but now as you can see there is a global conversation that's taking place the man accused of carrying out the shootings posted his racist views and announce what he was going to do on the web
9:09 pm
so many people are talking about the digital aspects of this story and how far right trolls can share their views both online and off it twenty eight year old brenton tarrant didn't answer a verbal plea or seek bail but he did send a clear message in the courtroom you won't be able to see it in this footage that we're using in our hourly bulletins but there were photographers in the courtroom who caught something that he did with his hands a white power hand sign that's often used to troll or just upset liberals yes i know it's a sign that we all use it the ok sign but it's taken on another meaning on these forums there's a huge trolling culture on sites like four chan and eight chan where people think it's funny to make racist jokes and just watch others react to them we've seen a number of white nationalists use this sign in public time after time now the u.s. based hate group monitoring organization the southern poverty law center says there are white nationalists neo nazis and klansmen who have increasingly begun using the
9:10 pm
use of the symbol both to signal their presence to the like minded as well as to identify potentially sympathetic recruits among young trolling artists flashing it to them the configuration means for white power the s.p.l. see says this kind of wink and interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization it serves as a white supremacist symbol according to the writer amanda marcotte one designed to be just ordinary enough looking that when liberals express outrage white supremacists can then play the victim of liberal hysteria but politicians like the congresswoman alexandra cortez here are calling for a greater understanding of just. how our mind radicalization works because it is impacting our entire society but as she points out here the trumpet ministration has defunded federal programs designed to fight the spread of white supremacist groups let's move on to other news now and at least thirty one people have died in
9:11 pm
eastern zimbabwe as tropical cyclone pushes west from mozambique more than forty people are believed to be missing after bridges and roads were swept away in flash floods the damage and bad weather a slow and rescue efforts the storm's already killed about one hundred other people across malawi and mozambique tens of thousands have been forced from their homes. the other jewish in way is head of communications for africa the international federation of red cross and red crescent and he says the full extent of the damage isn't yet clear the first reports we have brought big city or below in surroundings have taken a serious beating we have the red cross teams in all the locations of the country so even before the landfall we had some teams there are so we do have a few people on the ground so in terms of what we're trying to do is in a situation like this so many homeless so the first thing we're trying to provide is shelter in this is compounded by the fact that even before they land for. the
9:12 pm
dive thousands of people had already been displaced by the floods you know you have to remember about this landfall of this comes after days of heavy rains which have caused floods not only just mozambique but also in neighboring countries and province now several luxury shops and restaurants have been set alight in the french capital paris and the latest yellow less demonstrations as the eighteenth weekend of protests against president of my own backyard they began of a proposed increase in tax on days on which has since been scrapped but the rallies have quote into a wider anti-government movement. elsewhere in the capital though demonstrations calling for government action on climate change remained peaceful more than forty five thousand people took part in what's been called the march of the century protests have been taking place and says the world mostly by students and children . rival demonstrations are taking place in the venezuelan capital on one side
9:13 pm
supporters of nick who say this overcome repeated attempts by the u.s. to overthrow the embattled president on the other those who support opposition on guy though who many say is the rightful president tories above has this report. two thousand and thousands of people gathered here in the center not responding to the government's call to take to the streets this saturday and sunday to the united states and many countries around the parts of the challenging environment. here are saying hands off venezuela it's been a difficult task week for the government of after. the country in the dark hospital where he would have an interest city for people who are struggling starving for basic items but also. it's very very common to see people trying to get here on the streets of that gun and all around the country the government of cuba how little is saying that the opposition in the united states
9:14 pm
right behind oh it caught on the electric grid but it has shown no real proof that something like this has happened let's see what some of the people here have to say . we are celebrating that we got power back they want to take electricity away from us and our president reestablished it we are taking firm steps in this revolutionary process in defense of our country and the legacy of our commander hugo chavez and i meant that i would. i am happy the revolution is winning despite the imperial attacks the electric boycott the blackout these days show our victory. right now in the midst of an enormous economic crisis people are struggling with. to make ends meet with. other things they.
9:15 pm
are saying. they want. but plenty more ahead on the news all including self determination and crime the cry of caution on protesters right now in the streets of madrid we will be live from the spanish capital. opposition supporters trying to storm albania's parliament saying the government is corrupt and controlled by drug gangs. at a place in the semifinals a stake in one of football's oldest cup competitions for more. they have been more protests in algeria with the crowds demanding president abdelaziz bouteflika step down weeks of mass demonstrations have already forced the aging president to drop his bid for a fifth term of this hasn't been enough to satisfy the masses because there's now a delay in the next presidential elections protesters are continuing their calls
9:16 pm
for a complete change in government let's get more on what's happening in algeria we're joined by a shoes she's a journalist and the former editor in chief of the news english division and she's joining us live from algae is very good to have you with us on al-jazeera what's been happening in algeria today. what to do it has been taken didn't wish to know what happened yesterday which was by far the largest protest witnessed in the country ever since the start of the. uprising are twenty second years of. an estimated more than seventeen million people were. not in the streets or a large area most notably that have large ears to do now is to. and today of course there's not been as as many people outside as yesterday but definitely people are keep protesting to say. one of their colleagues of the horse turned
9:17 pm
up president. he had. stepped down from his wheel and should be running for the term but he. can't hold the presidential elections that were due to be held only will eighteenth and now we don't know when the less elections are going to are going to be held and therefore we don't know how much more is going to stay in power and i think that is words angering people right now is that we actually not one for a time but now you are in the definitely. for of course chantal god knows where and again judging by the numbers that continue to go out on the streets it's clear that the government's proposals concessions aren't enough so is the presidency going to be forced to make more concessions and as anything short of not just stepping down but elections going ahead as planned going to be enough for the crowds. well definitely the concessions made by the regime obviously are not going to
9:18 pm
appease the anger of the people i think with what people want now is the president to step down immediately and for the entire we see more value to go away with him and you can sort of that in my opinion will not will not be enough for the podesta's and there were protests are going to keep going and getting bigger and bigger every day until the minutes are mad people who not only do not only want the elections tool to be made team but they want article one hundred until dark. believes that if the president for any reason could not fulfill his presidential duties he is to step down immediately and the head of the council of the nation should take power and a new president or and new all new elections are held and that is what the people want and they want the president to step down immediately and salt concessions that were made that many think that they are not really concessions they're just
9:19 pm
a ploy they're just a tactic for this will be to stay in power for. a longer period. to prepare its exit because i think everybody knows right now that this regime can no longer stays all there is preparing for their exit right now we don't know how this exit is going to be witnessed you know continuous popular uprising against it and so they want to exit power smoothly and that's where they're buying time and everybody is onto them at this point and you know given. the people around kept him in power but also themselves and power have been around for so long how can this how can this happen how will they let go off that power and take their place. well that is an excellent question and it's not it's noted that this party the ruling party nationally frank has been in power since nineteen sixty two
9:20 pm
since the algerian independence from the french colony and soul indeed it is very hard for them to to let go they don't know how to let go of power but they are forever which feels like forever for then and the people and sell. this is that what is going on every julian's mind how will they goal will the goal with a minimal amount of damage will they go with a minimal amount of violence and bloodshed and so far so good i think everybody is dealing with this very cautiously people are out there in the streets but the best in all of their ways you wish you were markedly. peaceful and very quiet. and very often they're not really facing in the people they're not really in the uprising with violence and so this is a good sign but other people are saying maybe this is not so with this is the silence before the storm we don't know yet obviously so many people
9:21 pm
a little observer knowsley in so many different things as to what's going to happen . if it's goal as they are right now that we're going to we're going to have a national conference of consensus containing most political parties and political actors in the algerian the scene and they will together negotiate and set a new date for. the elections now who is going to run this transitional government was going to run this national conference we don't know yet so many of you throw here in there but it's still not clear and one thing that it's very important to point out is that the now in the uprising has not leadership there's no leader there's no real leaders apparently there are to negotiate with the regime insult the people i say no to any kind of leadership any kind of organization to their protests and right. actually stopped because it really showed any political any politicization of the people's uprise it was only. with glee use
9:22 pm
people for their own measures we are going to. we are going to have to end it on that note but we thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate and that is journalist. live in algeria thank you. now tens of thousands of people from cotton or nya are protesting in the spanish capital against the trial of twelve pro independence leaders there was a heavy police presence in madrid after nearly four hundred bus loads of people travelled from across caution on your leaders were arrested following the twenty seventeen independence referendum they were accused of treason by majority let's go live now to the spanish capital our correspondent david chaser is joining us from there a massive presence there david what is their message to the government no. longer who's in. charge and this is going to. you've never heard the voice of me i was alone with him and don't see why don't you do so loudly i mean so
9:23 pm
nothing is here and it's really more of you know this is a real the show of in trying not to thank you very important thank you thank you very often. these things change for us a load of them here in madrid. right next door. for the well that's life video. in the green. how there are two crazy problems here at this demonstration that it goes phrase of a democracy is about taking decisions and that self-determination is a right not a crime so it's very clear that proceeding here is that you got one leaders on trial for its addition for rebellion defines some who are facing twenty five years in prison they see as a show trial they think here that the the the search for independence for that
9:24 pm
alone is a church emote democratic exercise what's going on in the early days is merely a political show join now show me one demonstrators share the whole the largest claim there up to our. didn't twenty thousand demonstrate just here on the streets of madrid about this impossible for me to get out from a shoot from them to determine what is really where you want to have a whole story trial and how the make it from the police of course was that that would be much harder sometimes by extreme right groups but there's a huge cold not policing the surrounding streets to make sure that the private stuff that nobody wants to see any violence they just want their voice to be good and it is david thank you very much for that for now that is david chang to live in madrid thank you. to albania now where police have fired tear gas and water cannon on anti-government protesters after they attempted to storm palm and demonstrations

9:27 pm
a local election that is scheduled for the end of june it simply wants this government to resign to make it turn itself into a caretaker government and wait for a fresh mandate from the people and of course the democratic party has already walked out of parliament last month they are no longer part of the constitutional political process they have taken to the streets instead and they want supposes to gather evidence of numbers in order to show the government that it must go. it will become too politically unstable to govern it appears to be winning that gambit because this gathering is from what we're hearing that larger than the previous ones that took place last month so maybe that albania will become an ever more unstable place politically heading to a crucial june deadline when the european council will decide whether to invite this country to open membership talks in the european union that is the deadline
