express after thomas al-jazeera postures. well the new zealand prime minister just sent our odds and has received messages of condolence from many leaders around the world including us president donald 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 offer of 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 suspect manifesto suggests trunked was a source of inspiration as mike hanna reports now 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

woke up to the news that my followers worrying out with the best 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 islam of rhetoric that exists from the white house is very much ignites responses that causes events like these to happen around the world a message driven home by this muslim leader mr trump your awards not or. your policies matter they impact the lives of innocent people at home and globally in recent years the u.s. has seen an up taken extreme right wing violence at least one convicted extremist with clearly defined links to president trump seize a say accent pipe bombs to the president's critics and had pictures of donald trump

on his back. and there was no specific criticism from the president or white supremacists in charlottesville whose actions led to the death of an anti races protester the president's response there are thirty five 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 are 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'd allegedly 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 u.s. right wing attracting supporters like this former ku klux klan leader we are in the most critical auction probably in our history and donald trump is the guy that really stands up donald trump repudiated duke support but conservative whites with a key to his election victory a demographic the president continues to court for what he hopes will be another successful campaign mike hanna i'll just era washington. now dozens of people are dead and missing in mozambique and zimbabwe after they were hit by tropical cyclon zimbabwe's government says at least twenty four people have died in the east of the country rescue efforts being hampered by the damage to roads and bridges cyclon made landfall in mozambique on thursday killing at least

is now moving deeper into uncharted waters mr obama must step down and we believe that a transitory government with people that are not going to get organized crime and with backing from all political forces should fulfill a core mission to. and the practice of old buying too on tied the hands of the traditionally sort of prosecution of politicians for being caught in collusion with organized crime in the past elections starting with it and it is not only parliament that is paralyzed the country's constitutional court and supreme court opposed as a judicial shakedown corrupt judges the big question for all media is whether it'll be allowed to open membership talks with the european union in june it cannot do so without a fully functioning judiciary in the ruling socialists also face

a test of their popularity that month in local elections they say the country's top courts will be fully functional by the democratic opposition says that is merely another ploy to buy time the government says it is the protesters who are acting illegally and that it has the law on its side these protests of your position is not against us they don't have anything against us they have everything against justice reform and the new justice institutions a new prosecutor against corruption is going to be created this is how cvs and reach this protest but i know most albanians want to see the justice system working but it's the creation of a truly independent judiciary to go after all corrupt politicians that will be the biggest test of political courage here. al-jazeera. igs have been somewhat more peaceful though in the spanish capital madrid despite a heavy police presence being deployed for tens of thousands of demonstrators from

the catalonia region and travel to protest the trial of twelve pro independence leaders who they say are political prisoners they were arrested and charged with rebellion for their part in organizing the illegal catalan independence referendum in october two thousand and seventeen well david chaytor is in madrid and joins us now david it looks like the protests went ahead peacefully tell us more about who participated in these demonstrations today. maryam i think everyone's very glad that there was no violence here there was a huge number of police trying to make sure that new extremists new nationalist right wingers try to disrupt the proceedings it was a very strong show of support for the twelve kathmandu leaders on trial in the supreme court figures between fifty thousand and up to one hundred thousand by the

organizers of this demonstration and of course those leaders are facing charges of sedition of rebellion and of the best moment of funds are some of them are facing a possible sentence of up to twenty five years in prison now the watchword during this demonstration was that democracy is about making decisions and that the right to self-determination is not a crime and that there was a message that was heard very loud and clear here there's been nothing like this amount of support heard before on the streets of the spanish capital and i think they made their point extremely well but of course the country is facing a snap election in april the twenty eighth the country is going to the polls yet again and because of this court case the supreme court case it's polarizing opinion very much on this. again seeing this large number of protest line independence

protesters in the streets of madrid will once again have enrage many parts of the political map here in spain and that is the point about it is like an open wound area that it seats forcing people to examine. examine exactly what they want spain to be and many poles are predicting that the extreme right is gaining ground beginning to. dictate the political agenda here and it means by the time the child is finished that that could well be a government in power coalition government possibly that will be very much against any dialogue a tool with the cast the catalonians who want independence and that was of course the whole point about a petro sanchez the socialist prime minister minority government when he lost the the budget vote in february it was the catalan independence parties who drew support from him because he had refused to sit down with them to discuss

independence because that would have been against the constitution and so that's exactly the situation now over the next few weeks in the run up to the election which people will be pondering and considering but the fact that these twelve independent catalonian leaders are still in the supreme court still fighting their case still trying to push their point of view blaming the police for the violence that the on the independence referendum that is still very much alive issue here and will dominate probably this election in the run up to april the twenty eight and that the trial has to really mobilize support says of the movement thank you very much for men tred they've a change there. now prosecutors in italy are investigating the death of a moroccan model who was a regular guest of the former prime minister silvio berlusconi's notorious bunga bunga parties imaan fogl testified a twenty twelve trial in which she was eventually acquitted for having sex with an
