mosques on friday and posting video of his attack on line of the dozens of people injured twelve are still in critical condition christ church hospital's chief of surgery described the pressure and strain the attacks of brought on doctors and medical staff it's. it's a bit challenging for people who. 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 thirty people in a day is more than what we should see. joins us now from christchurch wayne let's start with the latest line the bodies are going to start authorities rather will start returning bodies as of the c.v. how much comfort how much comfort is that giving families.
8:04 am
yes when we had confirmation that all of those bodies have been removed from the two mosques even though they are still very much active crime scenes those two locations all the bodies are now in the christchurch hospital behind me and the post mortem process began on sunday morning so that news that this process of returning the body will be very much welcomed by those family members because they have raised some concerns there has been some criticism even from them that this process has been a bit slow because they wanted of course to get those family members those victims back as soon as possible to begin the funeral and burial procedures so they were concerned about that and also about the fact that a four wheel list of identified victims has not yet been released by the authorities well worth seeing several people addressing some of those concerns
8:05 am
including the prime minister. and the deputy police commissioner commissioner many of the families know. this although they have not been formally identified they are missing a few of you to see. a sole focus is to get their loved ones back and to follow the cultural traditions such as the washington showing of the loved ones and we have made promises available to carry out the thinking of cultural issues. well late on saturday night there was another piece of news a revelation that was released by local media regarding a so-called manifesto that the main suspect in this case brinton tyrant email to several people before this attack took place on friday afternoon local time the manifesto was sent to the prime minister just cinder
8:06 am
a dern and on sunday she confirmed some details about that e-mail. i was one of more than fish the recipients of a mena manifesto that was mild out nine minutes before the attack took place it did not include a location it did not include specific dates house i'm advised that within two minutes of its receipt in my office it was conveyed directly to palin mitri security but the assurance i want to go visit had it provided details that could have been edited on immediately it would have been but there unfortunately when are such details and marymount. so just under a durn there the prime minister of ireland giving another very detailed update on sunday just about the latest really in this investigation process and also as we
8:07 am
mentioned the process of returning the bodies to the family members it's expected that the first of those bodies will be sent back to the family members later on sunday evening but the prime minister again caution saying that this will be a slow process and even if there are multiple bodies returned on sunday evening it will only be a few she expects could only be one but the rest she hopes will be returned to the family members by wednesday she also spoke about the issue or the possibility that this main suspect may be sent back to australia where he was from she was asked about that by a journalist in the media conference and she said that the judicial process will be played out on new zealand soil that he will face the new zealand justice system but she didn't rule out the fact that if there is a conviction we soon there will be on multiple counts of murder down the down the line then perhaps there is
8:08 am
a possibility that this suspect could be sent back to australia to serve his sentence or indeed after he has served any sentence here in new zealand's. all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much wayne hey well as we mentioned earlier christchurch hospital's chief of surgery spoke about the two thousand and eleven earthquake which killed one hundred eighty five people and injured thousands here's more of what he had to say i don't think there's any doubt the earthquake did have appearing on it you know. the old adage practice makes perfect works in a lot of things and it's part of our processes we have trauma based casualty event exercises every year the ministry will run. we've had i guess the most significant experience of us in new zealand but the true of the years quake experience in two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven so. you know we've
8:09 am
been there we've done there it earlier we spoke to bob parker who was the mayor of christ church when that earthquake struck. i think that's a very good comment i do think in a way although the earthquakes of course when numerous it 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 when they didn't know if the next one would be bigger than the one they had 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 u.s. quake it was physically destructive for every single person this is just targeted a small group so in a sense it's more sort of intellectually more socially destructive but the thing 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
8:10 am
a genuine emotion a genuine support and the desire to 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 all across new zealand people have been responding to the horrified days attacks with interfaith solidarity christians have prayed for the muslim victims during sunday services where priests in the after ins and outs of hatred and racism. so new zealanders show solidarity said to our people around the world they are reports 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 needs to feel safe . in. many speakers drew a direct link between the statements of some politicians in europe and elsewhere
8:11 am
and such attacks on me in the last few weeks there's been incidents involving british muslim you know mosques so i don't think we're surprised. today reacting and in the do you think white nationalism is a problem and he said he downplayed the threat so that's the kind of thing i think on sounds 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. spices that was a long time ago still. it was back probably oh. in istanbul a crowd also gathered for a funeral cries for the new zealand victims. and in 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
8:12 am
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 london. when the accused gunman a paid in a new zealand cold he didn't say a word but he still sent a message under schapelle explains. 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 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

to them the configuration means for white power the s.p.l. see says this kind of wink and interaction with the racist right is a direct route to its normalization it serves as 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 trump administration has defunded federal programs designed to fight the spread of white supremacist hate groups. still to come on al-jazeera. tens of thousands marched in spain denouncing the trial of cattle on it and its leaders is to be jailed for twenty five years in desperately need of treatment how
