the remote. antarctic century on al jazeera. this is al-jazeera. and jordan this is the out of their news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes. new zealand's prime minister comforts members of the muslim community after fifty people were shot and killed in two mosque attacks. elsewhere around the world calls to stamp out hate crimes. also ahead a sideline brings devastation to zimbabwe mozambique and malawi dozens of people
5:01 am
are dead or missing. and rioters fought with police and set fire to businesses as the violence flares up again in powers. new zealand's prime minister has been meeting and attempting to comfort victims of friday's must shootings and attacks she's described as terrorism just seen here in black laid flowers with members of the muslim community in the capital wellington it was the worst mass killing in new zealand's peacetime history and the country's threat level remains high. but earlier police confirm the number of people killed had risen to fifty another victim was found during the removal of bodies from the crime scenes detectives also now say twenty eight year old suspect brenton tarrant acted alone as they no longer believe the three other people arrested or involved in a stranger man's been charged with murder accused of storming the mosques on friday
5:02 am
and posting video of his attack online well up to fifty people injured twelve are still in a critical condition christchurch hospital's chief of surgery described the pressure and strain the attacks put on doctors and other medical stuff it's. it's a bit challenging for people who are. 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 an air environment we do see gunshot wound 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. well across new zealand people are responding to the horror of friday's events with interfaith solidarity christians and prayed for the muslim victims during sunday services when priests and reverends and denounced hatred and racism will wane hadrons as live now from christchurch wayne so doctors in the hospital gave a press conference
5:03 am
a bit earlier what more they've been saying. yes that's right we heard from greg robinson he is the chief surgeon here at christchurch hospital behind me it was a very interesting insight actually into the sorts of conditions in hainan juries and stress that the medical staff have been put on since the message on friday he also gave an update on the number of casualties there are now thirty four injured still in the hospital behind me a couple have been released so far on sunday eleven of the people patients in hospital still listed as critical so course the concern is that that death toll of fifty which went up by one on sunday could go up even higher there is another patient a young child who is in a critical critical condition in a specialist at children's hospital in new zealand's largest city all clones but he also interestingly enough down was asked a question about dealing with the aftermath of the earthquakes that the city went
5:04 am
through in two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven whether that situation prepared the medical staff for what unfolded on friday in terms of the number of casualties they need said yes it did he said of course the types of injuries that they are treating a very different but overall the scenario of having a huge number of patients coming into the hospital at one time very much he felt prepared them for what they had to go through on friday in terms of the stress in terms of people coming in from leave from holidays from days off and working very long hours so it's an ongoing situation he said that many patients are facing multiple surgeries as a result of the wounds they suffered on friday and why and how much has this strategy put gun control under the spotlight a museum in the prime minister is promising there will be changes. yes she issued a very strongly worded statement made some very strong comments about gun control
5:05 am
there was no doubts about it really she said that the gun laws will be changed and that's been echoed by other members of parliament other people within government over the past couple of days the focus will be on the types of weapons that were used on friday in particular semi automatic weapons in the availability all of those and are now saying that semiautomatic weapons will be banned i think it will come as perhaps a bit of a surprise to most new zealanders who feel like gun violence is not really much of a problem here that simply automatic weapons are legal for use here with the right sort of permits there are some suggestions though that even though the main suspect in the massacre on friday did have a permit for weapons that he may have in fact altered some of the weapons which may have made them therefore illegal but certainly the gun laws looks to be changed if
5:06 am
those comments from the new zealand prime minister are anything to go by or to weigh in hey there live for us from thank you. so has new zealanders show solidarity so to our people around the world. from london. 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 which everybody. 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. you know. i don't think. it was a problem and. so that's the kind of thing i think people. some protesters
5:07 am
say the current climate echoes the rise of the far right in the one nine hundred thirty s. i grew up. on the. spices that was a long time ago still. growing oh. 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. around the world they 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 to stop attacks like those in new zealand from happening elsewhere. al-jazeera
5:08 am
london. and in australia the famous sails of the sydney opera house have been lit up with new zealand silver for the premier of the state of new south wales says the illumination represents solidarity support and respect well as when they mentioned earlier christchurch hospital's chief of surgery also spoke about the two thousand and eleven earthquake which killed one hundred eighty five people and injured thousands. i don't think there's any deal is quick did his appearing on you know. the old adage practice makes perfect weeks in a lot of things and that's part of their process is we if education. exercises every year ministry will run. we here don't use the most significant experience of this in new zealand but it truly is quake experience in two thousand and thirteen two thousand and eleven so. you know we've been there we've done that
5:09 am
well let's bring in bob parker he was the mayor of christ church when that earthquake happened he joins us live now bob those earthquakes of two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven pretty much devastated parts of your city and now christ church is not dealing with another terrible tragedy how difficult is it going to be to recover from all of this. i think you have to say that it is loaded on top of population here they have already and still require significant support a lot of mental health issues as a result of the earthquakes post-traumatic stress syndrome and disorder and so on so about a look at some incredibly bad for everybody of course i mean it's a it's the absolute most tragic thing that could possibly happen it's a gift for us some foreign disease in essence has arrived here like a virus we wouldn't expect this to happen here this is a peaceful and beautiful place and so that sense of shock and that sense of the
5:10 am
unknown of uncertainty of how that this happened why was this place chosen for this terrible terrible thing is deeply upsetting for everybody and i'll take a while a long while for us to deal with this as a community yeah and bought them in the you know their quakes were not of god so to speak but the mosque attacks were i suppose an act of madness i mean does it make it even harder for people to come to terms with what happened. i think that's a very good comment i do think in a way although the earthquakes of course when numerous there wasn't just one we had a series of earthquakes that ran for really for eighteen months almost two years that continued to remind people of what they had been through and they didn't know if the next one would be bigger than the one they just had this is a single terrible incident it's a different sort of event in a way when you think about it if you go back to the earthquake it was physically destructive for every single person this is just targeted a small group so in
5:11 am
a sense it's more sort of intellectually more socially destructive but the feeling that you've heard from others is that we have learned as a community how to fold around each other in these situations and i was out walking through the city last night different sight seeing people bringing flowers the genuine emotion the genuine support and the desire to wrap their arms around a muslim community and ensure that they feel continue to feel as they have been part of the city and part of our future. tell us about christ church as a multicultural city i mean many people as you say in christ church a lot of his know someone who's been affected by this attack it's going to leave a lasting scars that listen to. yes of course it will. everything i mean this would leave a lasting scar where ever it happened in the world what adds to it for us as we
5:12 am
don't perceive about selves as the place where this sort of insanity would take place and maybe that was part of the reason that the perpetrator chose to make the attack here it wasn't a person who lived in our city was actually a person who grew up in a neighboring country and for that reason it adds to the destructive pain that we all feel but look we we will get over this by doing the opposite as you have seen in our city and i imagine some of your reports the only solution to us as a community to get over hate is by extending love and that is genuinely happening in christchurch and across new zealand we see this as an attack on our country we see it as an attack on all good and decent people and the global response equally has wrapped its arms around us that's how we get through this what they made an
5:13 am
interesting point a few minutes ago you said everyone says that this sort of thing never happens in new zealand but the fact is it has happened so how do you think christ church and new zealand generally will change after this to deal with this kind of threat and extremism in the future. well i think there are still questions to be asked about derren about why this wasn't picked up by the authorities there does seem to have been a significant amount of information that was put online some time before this attack took place and it does not seem to have rung alarm bells in the right place that i even saw one report on one network of a woman saying that she had sent this information to the police now i can't verify that but i think it does raise that very important question that you're asking was you know why didn't we have some knowledge of this why weren't the authorities
5:14 am
actually picking up some of the signals being the sort of country where that will be i have no doubt the basis of a very. very intricate details inquiry we need to know how this happened why this happened and what we need to learn as a community so it does not happen again if we can prevent it but just to just a final thought from you i mean your city has had to deal with some terrible tragedies but how do you see christ church coming back from this and what what needs to be done to ensure that this never happens again. well you can bet that it happened on a number of levels first of all it will happen at this sort of level of police intelligence national intelligence observing those extremist people who may be likely to perpetrate such an act again they'll be a profound effect on those organize ations but as a community we've we've been through this as a nation we've been through disasters and other events we're
5:15 am
a strong community we're a very small nation. population less than five million people this island that we're in here million people half of them live around the christ. wolf a lot and the one thing that we have learned from that is how to help each other these are just citizens of my city they were defined by their faith but in terms of everyday lives the citizens of christchurch i live in this area the mosque is down the road right now there are meetings being held in the hole next to where i live this is part of our community and we will make sure that this community is strengthened by this terrible act not week or at a ballpark of the former mayor of christchurch bob thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with out is it and now the rest of the day's news is still to come emotions run high as forensic teams begin to pick teams begin to examine the

a steelworker how does era tblisi for more protests in algeria demanding president . step down weeks of scenes like this are forced to drop his bid for a fifth term but it hasn't been enough to satisfy the masses because there's now a delay in the next presidential elections what people want now is the president to step down immediately and for the entire regime around him to go away with him and anything short of that in my opinion will not will not be enough for the protesters and there were protests are going to keep going and getting bigger and bigger every day until the demands are met people do not only do not only want the elections to to be made team but they want article one hundred until dark. but stipulates 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
5:24 am
and well and new president or and new all new elections are held and one thing that it's very important to point out is that the current uprising has no leadership there's no leader there's no real leaders apparently there's the that are to negotiate with the regime and so the people i see no to any kind of leadership any kind of organization to their protests and rightly so because history shows that any political any politicisation of the of the peoples uprising will only be. with glee use the people for their own interests and so people are going to get. shops have been looted and businesses torched in the french capital the latest yellow vest demonstrations is the eighteenth weekend of protest against president emanuel michel began over a proposed increase in tax on diesel which has since been scrapped the rallies are going into wider and to government movement well they were much more peaceful

tropical cyclone pushes its way into the southern african country the storm has already claimed more than one hundred lives in the green mozambique and. now we're turning to our top story and when the accused gunman appeared in the new zealand court he didn't say a word but he still sent a message on the ship l. explains how. 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 to his racist views and announce what he was going to do on the web 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
5:32 am
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 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 w.p. for white power the s.p.l. see says this kind of wink and nudge interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization it serves as
5:33 am
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 online 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 hate groups well or in saigon as the director of the anti defamation league center on extremism he explained how he thinks hate can best be defeated you know education is indeed key to try to mitigate these threats i think it starts at an early age before people are becoming involved in these movements so i think it requires teaching people to be critical thinkers to date white supremacist and hateful ideologies are existing in the same space as legitimate news in
5:34 am
particularly online so we need to teach people well how do you understand and i defy troops and then respond to them and put them on the fringes of society i will also note that they need to do a better job in recognizing what the threats are and we know that white supremacy is a global terrorist threat and we need to start thinking about it that way but what we do know is that these white supremacists and other extremists are preparing not only their weapons but they're supposed to a media approach and so we need to understand how to treat spreads we need to hold elected officials accountable for normalizing it and then hopefully we can start tackling this global threat now as britain's government prepares to formally os the e.u. to delay brigs it until you protest as a begun a protest march from england's industrial northeast to london the four hundred kilometer track is no small feat but they hope to arrive in the capital by the
5:35 am
scheduled departure date of march twenty ninth when brennan braved the wind and cold to speak to some of them on the fascinating. the march for bricks it assembled in driving rain on the coastal path to a sunderland industrial city in england's north east which voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. . confusion tipped briefly into chaos as progress of figurehead nigel farage arrived surrounded by security and followed by pro e.u. demonstrates his role that the rest of the marches believe the principle of breck's it is in jeopardy and even prime minister teresa mayes breck's a deal falls short if you see what happened in parliament this week you may well not really believe i'm this is a march because you know if they the politicians think they can look more like ross that way i don't know if i can tell him a calm simple. level of twenty knots above to the clean bricks and you know if that means going to that's
5:36 am
what we very much like today i think the government just let everybody down whether it's a reminder or over breakfast here the government just haven't fulfilled their. debt monday's well i'm here for my grandchildren helping to save secure and at break say leaving here at ten am because something good the future will behind rights and. nigel farage typically is surrounded by cameras in that melee that the rest of the marches are strong right along this coastal cot is a long way to go before they reach london but how many of them actually get that far remains to be seen. the march is being tailed by two billboards paid for by an anti bricks it campaign at the way station at c m a there was an angry confrontation with two peaceful pro e.u. campaign it's because when you really want to think out of going out to. the rich took the marches past john armstrong's has sat alone in the village of

common to see people trying to get water here on the streets of that outgun and all around the country the government of cuba how little is saying that the opposition in the united states right behind only caught on the electric train box 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 that meant that i would have to file i am happy the revolution is winning despite the imperial attacks the electric boycott the blackout these days show our victory venezuela is right now in the middle of an enormous economic crisis people are struggling with hyperinflation struggling to make ends meet with shortages of food shortages of anything.

similar to the rest of latin america with their new liberal governments giving priority to their business for. and while totally destroying the national economy not to mention the people who hold this country up but are living in poverty the international monetary fund last year granted argentina a fifty seven billion dollar loan its biggest ever means the government is now subject to i.m.f. rules that austerity measures and increases in fuel in public transport fares we asked for a government spokesman to explain the situation but none was available for loan from the international monetary fund alleviated argentina's economic problems but only in the short life for many people here continues to be fraught with daily difficulties and demonstrations such as this one likely to get big for what. it's still to be confirmed but their choice in october selections is likely to be between machree and the woman he replaced four years ago cristina fernandez the kitchener between what many argentines don't like now and what they didn't much
