the twenty eight year old. he was stopped because he was believed to be a direct through it. affected with absolute carriage and intervening and had to use force 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 so i've been explaining how they escaped the gunman and the two mosques and to tell us as this report after the violent frenzy the flowers all day on saturday people came to lay them in tribute to the date and then stand whisper and weep. among those gathered was surviving and the stories i don't want to. read started he's. not here just.

1:06 am
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 of gans's a place in the armed forces to receive be all banned it does made of a saying gan or one who weren't there. when it got their hands on all gun 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 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 absolute doubts
1:07 am
to express. joins us now from christchurch and more details emerging from the news conference today on the latest on the investigation there. yes well the headline was that the death toll has risen to fifty it was at forty nine in the aftermath of the attacks on friday has gone up by want to fifty not because anyone has died since but because as the bodies are being taken out of the two mosques the place of found an extra body that they didn't spot the first time around on the they didn't know about but the toll now stands at fifty the place also said that fifty people remain injured in hospital thirty six of them in the main hospital here in christchurch and they also talked about the investigation further there were lots of rumors swirling around in the immediate aftermath of the attacks and indeed for much of saturday among people in this city that there wasn't just one gunman there were perhaps two maybe even more and that one person attacked one mosque and one person attacked another with
1:08 am
a place of now said definitively that that is not the case they believe that this suspect brinton tyrant was acting alone and that he carried out both attacks the worst three of the people arrested and they are the mark of these attacks two other men and a woman one of those men was released quite early on on saturday the woman has now been released without charge is well placed i believe she had anything to do with these attacks or really anything to do with brenton tarrant and the other man who he's been charged with a far i fancy had a gun on him but the police don't believe he was in any way connected to the attacks they believe at the moment the prince in turn was acting alone now police say that mosques around the country are now free to reopen they had aust mosque right around these even to stay closed in the aftermath of these attacks are they saying mosques and now open their doors if they choose to people can go to them but they want a heavy police presence and they're promising that at mosques right around these even though i don't believe there are any more attacks planned they think this was
1:09 am
a one off incident but they don't. any complacency stepping in here and they want to be more cautious than anything else so that's the overall picture from the place to center all done is likely to be talking again to the public about the situation with all the survivors and the updated information for the community later on sunday and we're also expecting perhaps the first of those who were killed in these attacks to be buried there are mass diggings of mass graves going on they were going on all day on saturday they're all so big that my colleague has been there at the muslim graveyard here in christ church on sunday and he tells me that the graves are being dug and they're expecting the first bodies to go in them not too long from now and it was a scare this any just sinking in what are the community efforts to try and bring people together. well it's sunday morning now in christ church this is the main city cathedral behind me
1:10 am
and there's a congregation in there and of course all there is a christian service and those attacked were muslims that is not how this city sees it they see these attacks on friday as an attack on everybody and obviously the deaths and injuries that happened on friday are the focus of the service that is just concluding in there those that i've talked to just want that message to tom all out again and again and again this was an attack not just on the most confusing not just on even the migrant community in new zealand but on a whole new zealanders and everyone wants this country to be no one which is not and i should say for a sort of progressive outlook they want that to continue i don't want these attack all these attacks to divert from the cordons on the moving closer than also the most and cells stay behind place called see investigations very much continue and thomas thank you very much indeed.

1:20 am
terrorism letting each other know about extremist material and they attach digital signatures known as hedges to stop their content being uploaded again but machines aren't enough they also have human content to moderate is tracking checking and deleting content around the clock but live content is problematic and the attack video was live for seventeen minutes long enough for it to find a home on smaller sites last down rabbit holes that the vast majority of us know nothing about one of them is the listen on mrs board ha in which he used to propagate his extremist views into a he announced his attack it's a digital haven where users can remain anonymous and there is little moderation people there have been posting and praising the gunman's actions. some commentators say there is little incentive for the big tech companies to do basic its monitoring
