11:34 pm
i advise that the number of people who have died in this all full of it has now risen to fifty. as of last night we were able to take all of the victims from both of those scenes and in doing so we have located i fear the victim. so that brings the number of those who have died to fifty. i also want to say that the number of injured is also fifty thirty six of those remind and christchurch hospital where they are being treated with the utmost care and professionalism by medical staff. to do remain critical. and we also have one child being well looked after its top shop hospital in christchurch. and tombs all of the people that we've spoken about that have been arrested as you
11:35 pm
know the twenty eight year old mild appeared in court yesterday charged with murder and has been remanded to effect the viper will to appear in the high court. will also know that two other people were apprehended at a cold and during this operation. and a firearm was seized from. now one of those persons a woman has been released with that charge. the man in that vehicle has been charged with firearms offenses at this point we do not believe that they were involved in these attacks. some of you will also be aware. that another man was arrested. as a result of this investigation. what i can size a nice eighteen year old man will appear in court on monday. but that arist was
11:36 pm
tangential to this matter and we do not believe that he was involved in this attack. for this i can say and you would have seen in media reporting that a list of victims' names have been shared with family. now that less was compiled as a result of work done with victims. and with senior religious leaders and was done to give some certainty to victims' families. this is not a formal list and we will be on eyeball to share. exact details of victims until i have been formally identified that part of the investigation. and response is continuing. as
11:37 pm
quickly as professionally as possible and we will keep you updated. in terms of security right across the country. the new zealand police and other emergency services remind absolutely vigilant take a poll of new zealanders and everyone who lives here or visits here saif from high . in terms of the security we have around mosques around new zealand that will continue until we believe there is no threat. thank you very much i'm happy to answer questions if i can. at the neos have a new office. it's . difficult to be conclusive but my understanding is that even those that
11:38 pm
were killed outside that mosque were visiting the mosques. know so that's where the prices of what we have to do is determine the cause of death so we've been working with pathologists and working with coroners in the chief carina to complete that process we have to be absolutely. clear on cause of death and confirm their identity before that can happen but we asked so aware of the cultural and religious needs so we were doing that as quickly and sensitively as possible. now but we are moving through that as professionally but as quickly as possible. because we absolutely feel for the victims of this tragedy.
11:39 pm
yes absolutely so you've all seen online video of the arrest of the twenty eight year old. he was stopped because he was believed to be a direct threat. staff acted with absolute carriage and intervening and had to use some force and deploy with technical options to make that happen but again they put themselves in harm's way to stop any further attack and i do believe they did prevent further attacks. the two i spoke of earlier were stopped at a cotton they were arrested because they are in position of a firearm there will be a charge before the court on that but of course we had to do everything we could to assure ourselves and the public as to whether or not they were we're related to this attack the fourth person. from papa no area.
11:40 pm
went to i think assessed children in the area to get them safely but did decide to arm themselves was which is not the right approach. that we're working through those matters yes. at this moment only one person has been charged in relation to these attacks. i will not be saying anything conclusive until we are absolutely convinced as to hell many people were involved but we hope to be able to give their advice over the next few days. i was. working through the absolute details on that but i can't tell you that it was a new zealand. firearms license which he obtained in twenty seventeen in new zealand. by.
11:41 pm
your. look we're still working through that but it's quite obvious that he modified a category a firearm. at least. those two police officers acted with absolute courage i'm so proud of what they have done. but have prevented fear the deaths and again risked their own lives to do. so. that's what police officers come to do every day but at the same time it's my job to make sure that they have the equipment and the safety equipment to keep themselves as safe as possible how. nice that. they are overwhelmed and humbled by the feedback that they're getting a few asked them i will tell you they were just doing their job was. not going to
11:42 pm
go into their identities but. they're being given given lots of support. but their identities will be made known substance. you've been listening to a news conference with the new zealand police commissioner mike bush is confirming that the death toll after the mosque shootings in new zealand has gone up to fifteen he also said that there were fifty injured in the attacks thirty six are currently in hospital two in critical condition he also confirmed that just one person has so far been charged in relation to the attacks two others who've been arrested have not yet have not been charged. and the also confirmed the security around mosques will continue until there's a certainty that there is no threat let's bring in our correspondent to under thomas using christ church for us as a number of elements there to that news conference and and still that the desperate to figures on the fifty people killed.
11:43 pm
that's right well that's significant that the death toll has increased but let's look for the silver lining here if there is one that's not a big increase it was forty nine in the immediate aftermath of these attacks that means that one has unfortunately died over the last twenty four hours presumably hospital as you say the police chief there saying that fifty others remain injured in hospital for six of them are in the main hospital here in christchurch and a number still remain in a critical condition significantly the place chief there talked about this. brinson tyrant being the sole gunman involved in the attacks that been rumors flying around the city have a sense that there were multiple gunman one person attacking one most one person attacking the other and maybe even some other attacks in between but we now know definitively from the police that there was just one gunman who carried out both attacks on both mosques in the immediate aftermath of the attacks
11:44 pm
a total of four people were arrested the gunman the man alleged to be a gunman i should say brings in tyrant and three others two men and a woman a woman one of those men was released shortly afterwards the two others the man the woman we now know that the woman has been released without charge on the man is not connected with burns internal low he has been charged with a far offense the police chief i think there said that he was found to be carrying a gun and come out into the streets when he heard the commotion and brought a gun with him but it was to protect him and his family should not hide it but he wasn't involved in the attack site some further details there over the course of sunday we're going to be saying a list we believe of all those who have been killed maybe not being made public will certainly be made public to the families of those who are being killed the police now say they have compiled a list and they're in the process of advising families definitively most would of course know already but definitively whether their loved one died or survived
11:45 pm
things attacks as well as that the police chief said that while mosques are now open and people offering to go to them if they choose to those mosque will be guarded will be a heavy police presence an armed police presence around mosques right around new zealand in part to reassure people and in parts of course just in case this isn't an isolated attack in case the gunman was working with others elsewhere there's no suggestion that that's the case but placed taking every precaution to make sure that this was a one off event and there's nothing further going to follow along outside the main cathedral here in christchurch where they'll be a service taking place in about twenty minutes time. i'm a christian service this was an attack of course on muslims in christ church where people of all fight coming together on congregations on sunday to remember what happened here and to commemorate and to show that this city is united in defiance against this gunman there are many many graves being dug in christ church today in the muslim cemetery we're not entirely sure when the burial will take place but by
11:46 pm
tradition of the police chief mentioned that there they will have them pretty swiftly otherwise the police cordon is being moved slowly close to the mosques it's slowly people are being able to get to their homes if they live around the corner from the mosques but the most some cells still remain behind police cordons police officers are going in and collecting some of the things that people had to leave behind in the panic to get out things that mobile phones that would drop things like shoes that people weren't wearing they people who were in the mosques but not themselves injured or killed have been returning to the place called in the place have been bringing those sorts of things out to them and andrew he was also keen to suggest that they thought that he had not been stopped he would have carried on and . carried out further attacks he was keen to praise the courage of the police officers who had to stop him in the way. he certainly was i mean there is an old fiercely from all the footage that's been
11:47 pm
shared by passers by online and indeed unfortunately from the helmet cam camera of the gunman himself it was clear his intent was to kill as many people as possible and he wasn't stopping he was stopped there was that dramatic arrest where the place offices rammed his car and then pulled him out of the car and got into the ground in the police chief there again and disinter are using this prime minister did the same on saturday praising the individual officer who carried out that arrest but also the wider operation about bringing that man into custody and to tell us thank you very much and if i'm not up to their frustration. he has more from the australian city of grafton where the suspect brenton tyrant grew up. this is a community in shock tyrant 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
11:48 pm
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 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 new zealand prime minister just in the arden has received messages of condolence from many world leaders including u.s. 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 support the united states could spread wide my message was sympathy
11:49 pm
and love for all muslim communities. well have been marches vigils and rallies across the world to show solidarity of the shootings in christchurch and to denounce hatred and racism and even reports on the. gathering to say no to racism and show solidarity with muslims everywhere. this march in london brought together disparate groups all expressing outrage at a gunman's attack on two mosques in new zealand everybody needs to feel safe. to say. many speakers drew a direct link between the statements of some politicians in europe and elsewhere and such attacks on me in the last few weeks there's been incidents involving you know mosques so i don't think we're surprised. today reacting in the do you think it was
11:50 pm
a problem and he said he downplayed the threat so that's the kind of thing i think people. some protesters say the current climate echoes the rise of the far right in the one nine hundred thirty s. i grew up. on the. fascism that was a long time ago but it's still going on. the. back row we're all. in istanbul a crowd also gathered for a funeral cries for the new zealand victims. and in the top pradesh in northern india students have taken part in a candlelight vigil nine men of indian origin were reported to be missing after the christchurch attack. around the world there have been calls for governments to take the issue of islamophobia more seriously as well as other forms of hatred there are lots of different groups represented on this demonstration but there's a general feeling that hate crimes are on the rise and that more needs to be done

11:53 pm
not only parliament that is paralyzed the country's constitutional court and supreme court opposed as a judicial shake down 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 the ruling socialists are also facing 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
11:54 pm
