terms of the security we have around mosques around new zealand that will continue until we believe there is no threat. when across new zealand people are responding to the horror of friday's events with interfaith solidarity christians of prayed for the muslim victims during sunday services where priests and reverence have denounced hatred and racism let's go to our correspondent under thomas in christchurch andrew said people from all faiths have been coming together to show solidarity with the muslim community. that's right daryn sunday morning here in christ church in the big church cathedral services right across the city i went to one on sunday and spoke to some of those leaving christians of course but they said that everybody here in a sense shares the same faith in this city's future and just because the horrific attacks of friday were targeted at migrants and of the muslim community here doesn't mean that in any way there should be divisions within this city they said
3:03 am
that the church service the cathedral service this morning was all about support and solidarity with the muslim people of christchurch is a very small percentage of the population here is only a small city anyway four hundred thousand only one maybe two percent of the population is muslim far more christians but they said in a situation like this they are all as one well all day saturday people from christ church came to where the place cordons had been put close to the al know and linwood mosques they laid flowers and they just stood around talking to each other and thinking about friday's events among those who came down to the court and some of those who had managed to flee the mosques with their lives are taught some of them here's my 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 with survivors and their stories
3:04 am
i don't want. her head started his. and out here just for three four minutes. when you heard the shots. and noises coming near so then i decided to. trade and jump on my wife tried to support his best friend sister linda and when she tried to talk took it like that. one of the coming 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 and though it was him run it was he showed one blood on his shoulder so i was holding him and then the gun gunman pointed the gun through the window and shot him while he was on my level he shot him couple of drugs in the head he was a teen people of. a when he finished the he left of the. way.
3:05 am
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 danny people today have gone to a place in the armed forces. and it does made of a thing in ghana or one and one. got the hanes 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 al nor mosque and under the police gave a press conference a little bit earlier what more have they been saying. but first of all the
3:06 am
eleanor mosque which is down the road behind me has now been cleared of all the bodies inside as has the lynwood mosque but it's commissioner also confirmed the death toll number of people killed in these attacks is fifty eight now we knew about forty nine in almost the immediate aftermath of the attack so in a sense that he's good news the death toll hasn't gone up much fifty on the extra body the fiftieth person killed was a body found in saw eat one of the mosques as a place of there in the body so it's not somebody that has died in the last twenty four hours in hospital the police also said that of the fifty people initially taken to hospital with in some cases very serious injuries thirty six remain in hospital here in christchurch one four year old girl has been flown to surgery two or claims they also talked about the main suspect brenton tyrant and they believe that he was acting alone those arrested at the same time as him will very shortly afterwards or two of the three have now been released without charge one has been charged with a farm offense of the police don't believe that that person was associated with
3:07 am
these attacks and so now talking about firearms just. prime minister has made it very very clear on multiple occasions since friday that she believes new zealand rules need to be fundamentally changed it was thirteen years ago that new zealand gun laws were last changed and the gun laws here while not as relaxed as in the united states for example there are a lot more lax than in for example in neighboring australia where the man suspected of carrying out these attacks came from the question being posed by some people i've been talking to here is would he have done this attack in australia had he been able to he was always the motivated by hate he wants to attack mosques he wants to do what muslims did he come here because he could do that more easily because they could get hold of the weaponry he wanted here and he's even more easily than he could in australia the gun laws here at the moment say that anybody can get a gun license as long as two people write references for them and raise no
3:08 am
objections and then the place do a background check the sum of code a bit of a cursory background check on the person apply and after that person is free once they've got their license to go and buy as many guns as they like and they don't even have to be registered and less they are semi automatic weapons if they are they can still buy them they just have to be registered there are a quarter of a million people in new zealand with gun licenses that might not sound like many but this country only has a population well not even five million so there is a significant proportion of the country people here who do have a gun license and in total there are a well over a million guns in new zealand but the police don't really know apart from the semiautomatic weapons who holds them unless there are those so your automatic weapons you don't need to register them so relatively relaxed gun laws here just said very explicitly that she wants to see those laws changed and urgently i was speaking to a counselor here in christchurch an hour ago and he said there's no question
3:09 am
everybody politically is going to be in agreement or at least the vast majority the . won't be any opposition in parliament a change in the gun laws of course there is a gun lobby here as there isn't any country people who believe that guns are important to farmers for sport those sorts of people who believe that shouldn't be a knee jerk reaction but the counselor i was talking to said he can't see any high level political opposition to gun laws changing in the wake of this attack and when we've seen similar attacks in other countries not the united states of course but in for example britain at the dunblane in one thousand nine hundred sixty australia after the ports off the mask up will very swiftly in those two places gun laws change and it's expected by people at the council i was speaking to short time ago and then bodies even the prime minister is expected it will be a similar reform of gun laws here and soon all right under thomas in christchurch andrew thank you. so as new zealanders show solidarity so to our people around the world not even bother reports from london. gathering to say no to racism
3:10 am
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 which everybody feel safe. in. many speakers drew a direct link between the statements of some politicians in europe and elsewhere and such attacks on the in the last few weeks there's been incidents involving you know mosques so i don't think we're surprised. today. in the do you think it was a problem and he said he downplayed the threat so that's the kind of thing i think on sons people. some protesters say the current climate echoes the rise of the far right in the one nine hundred thirty s. . was a long time ago still. it is back.
3:11 am
in istanbul a crowd also gathered for a funeral cries for the new zealand victims. and 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. one of the hospitals. where many of the victims were taken to for a news conference let's listen in to what they have to say is critical. the hospital in cross suit has a good capacity at present. and we will start first we are priority ties in those patients from the mosque attack through surgery over the coming days as well as dealing with business as usual activity which as you'll appreciate in a single. major hospital city that means we have to do will work in this as usual
3:12 am
presently there are seven acute theaters operating normally we will be running three on a day like today. many of the patients that are being operated on from the incident require more serious drees as a consequence of the complexity of the nature of the injuries and if there are questions about that oh my comment about that later this cool all of our surgical nursing theatres stuff. requirements has. lead to us to need to postpone some of our planned activity over the next few days and i'm sure the people of canterbury would appreciate and we thank them for their understanding there are thirty eight people whose suit three will be cancelled. from tomorrow and undertaken at another time
3:13 am
if there are any questions in relation to the prices of releasing the deceased. to the families that really directed to the new zealand police a ministry of justice i can't make any comment but i don't know what's going on i should be then. the night. when people come into hospital on an event for this particular gunshot wound. there are things that we need to do initially in tombs of saving lives in saving limbs so they are an issue. after having the patience to deal with the life threatening problems. what we call damage control see a dream that trying to stop bleeding i can surely always intact. in
3:14 am
the situation system fictive leah's and it is preserved the a.b.c.'s that you will probably remember it from you see these of training i'm sure we've all done that. so once the damage control is done people. in we move down to the next layer of civility of injury and. we deal with those problems as they go so you might imagine someone who's had a major bleeding problem we'll deal with it might lean problem but we won't have to deal with the other lesser injuries and that's why they need to go back to theatre the next time around and the more or less significant injuries are the last so. that's why some of the people immediately go to the theatre two three four times there are also situations where people have. i guess an unrooted not a complication or bleeding issue that it is subsequent to the surgery that they've
3:15 am
had with high velocity weapons they cause barrak trauma damage to the tissues that we're trying to preserve as much as possible without removing tissue that might be useful for them in the long tune so we do the minimum and come back in reach for the. we do procedures again as a subsequent occasion when people are very sick they become unwell. and they don't close as well as they normally do so they bleed a lot more and that causes problems for us. in terms of just stopping bleeding you know we rely on things such as packs to control it and then getting people back to an intensive care situation where we can warm them up we can get them into a more stable situation so that they can then come back the subsequent procedures and have a better chance of doing well from a procedural and spin a long time in theater the first time around and.
3:16 am
miten cold running more problems as a consequence is ugly coagulation realities. cited damage control fist and the least significant injuries after that dealing with whatever complications or missed injuries that have a kid and war the subsequent changes that occur as a consequence of the traumatic injuries that country winds and fragments cools and then of course is really the next group of injuries which aren't fictions and things that we would expect a little bit on the line. it. is two of the children in the hospital at present and the condition is stable. and i don't have that information month here because. this is.
3:17 am
it. it's a bit challenging for people. you know we're all part of the community and we're struggling with it as much as everyone else is this is not something that we expected to. see in our environment we do see gunshot wounds we do see all these type of injuries but you know forty to fifty people in a day is more than what we should see. our staff. doing remarkably well. part of the reason that we are trying to take some of the pressure off the system through the week is to allow people to have a bit of a break. most people cope with things pretty well when you're doing things that when you go home and you think about it that when the the the issues start to declare themselves what was the reaction what. a horror stunned.
3:18 am
anger those woods that i've sort of had. related to me at this point when. stuff. we've. it is difficult to know the hospitals it's a busy place at times but. in the emergency department people kept arriving. now it's a reflection of. the people who you know this is what people do needs and it's it's it's why they come into a hospital practice their expectations to do the right thing for people so they come back and we'll i can that's what they did. you know people tommy of the sense that one forty five friday afternoon. you know there are some trying systems that we use is sometimes force of people or perhaps a little very well for most things people are perhaps you know in and other
3:19 am
capacities doing other things and i generally will come into the hospital when they have of the maskaev leaving such as can physically emotionally. physically weaker people who are tired and we can with it by cycling through people having days on days off and that part of the way of managing the fatigue portion of it they will undoubtedly be as we saw after the earthquakes a delayed. mean to stress but response to this whole thing people think about it wonderful i could have done better i wonder if there are things that we could have done differently and you know that the way things in medicine you know we have in the water cycle we followed what we do we see outcomes and you wonder if this isn't
3:20 am
a path where you could have taken. the risk of your growth or. what do you think the play. had a very long way. of. i don't think any day of the quake did have appearing on it you know. the old adage ship practice makes perfect in a lot of things and that's part of their process is we have trauma as casualty event exercises every year the ministry will run. we've had i guess the most significant experience of us in new zealand by virtue of the earthquake experience in two thousand and eighteen two thousand and eleven so. you know we've been there we've done that. i don't want to get better at it but that's gone the way we've heard. quite different in the speech was involved quite
3:21 am
different there's a lot of all of the last time around this is a bit more a bit more. there are more abdominal chased. injuries quite a lot of soft tissue injuries and it's the management of that just by the niter of the. the whitney that's been used all the chromatically inducing objects. yes you know her trauma from the is quite different things that were. muscle. it sits on the muscles in the scheme ear of those little things and kidney failure most of us these are the kids a consequence of that we haven't seen that sort of situation this time around so that delayed most of the problems haven't a kid but clearly more issues with bleeding with wounds that are very complex and lots of different systems involved. as our. own when the first
3:22 am
responders the. desex reflected on the fact that we've had only one death and in. inpatient it arrived at the hospital. those who got here have a chance those who you know who didn't get here clearly didn't have a chance so you know we had patients that were delivered in cuz my understanding was certainly setting up season and watching the people to live in people's cars rather than aim billets as the ambulance started were riots and then lots of influence and balances arrived after that over a period of time well. that's your stock. obviously as you say you have to ask. what what is the biggest
3:23 am
what's the things that you're finding already start to see what is. it look into. if you look at the different we can groups some people who are used to seeing things sewage and see bit of blood you know we used to that sort of thing on our colleagues in emergency departments and different things so different things affect people in different ways but i think the magnitude of this is the is the is the thing that that the most significant issue the people insist comprehending what is in complaint really are things is more than one agency and i would have i don't think the. best. ones that. you know it's a longer term secretly of thing and again we see that after the previous is great.
3:24 am
these. victims will be x. and concise and support. you know all the patients involved with the stuff involved with the hospital system as a as a system of dealing with we're providing support for people who should they have difficulties who can see into worries about the units who already been elected the point. so you're watching live pictures there comments or someone from christchurch hospital you're looking at greg robertson who's the chief of surgery just gave them updates on the situation following those shootings those mushrooms on friday he said the hospital has good surgical capacity in the world and is well staffed he said the prioritizing casualties along with their normal day to day duties at the hospital said they now have seven acute theaters operating normally that have three but they're now up that to seven he said many patients are having to have multiple surgeries because of the complication of gunshot wounds he said that they've had to
3:25 am
cancel a lot of scheduled surgery to accommodate the operations for the gunshot victims of those things he said twelve people are currently in critical condition that's twelve people in critical condition county so greg robertson they're giving a news conference at the christchurch hospital in new zealand. let's move on to some other news now and more than thirty people have died in eastern zimbabwe as tropical cyclone each day pushes west from mozambique and malawi and he's forty more i believe missing after homes bridges and roads were swept away by storms already killed about one hundred other people across malawi and mozambique tens of thousands of been forced from their homes you know to feel but. i saw a woman being hit by debris it's not safe for people walking here the situation is very chaotic as innovate they see the movie they said it was a majority of houses a ninety five percent that collapsed was precarious lee built his poor materials but our reporter malcolm webb is near bear in mozambique. since the cyclamen
3:26 am
mozambique's coast where we are going to wrench will rains and strong winds rivers of swollen power lines are blown down cycling is a common in the indian ocean at this time of year but few of them hit land and this one has been particularly destructive because it came ashore mozambique's fourth largest city they are and we're still three hundred kilometers from there we're trying to reach there and that's not easy you can see the kind of damage that the cyclons done even here the whole bridge completely washed away because of this wall and river because the enormous amount of rainfall just within the last day or two some aid trucks trying to pass here to try and reach people in bay where they've had to turn around and take another route in the city of beirut all communications are off the airport is closed the power is down so it's very hard to find out what the extent of the damage there actually is with no communications of course and transport routes blocked it's very difficult to find out what's going on also for
