to a safe place for their own protection earlier today on monday and said that their system them with their inquiries police were also at pains to make it clear that there were no impending threats that they were just looking for anything that could support the new new zealand police in their investigation so it seemed as though it was just an evidence gathering exercise looking for anything that could help the investigation into the christ church attack now and there isn't a lot that is known about brenton terence and his movements of the last few years these trailing government says that he's only spent forty five days here over the last three years he was most recently here for his sister's birthday about a year ago so it seems as though police are looking for any clues anything that could help them paint a more comprehensive picture of the alleged attacker. from own drummer who's

a spokeswoman for the islamic women's council of new zealand and she told us she always feared the tarc on her community we the community did feel a rise of negativity on the rise. through social media. through our experience and rely and we did raise those concerns. i think but also watching what was happening overseas in other countries and knowing that the world is now so much more interconnected globally through social media and that we always had before here that something could happen here. once the immediate needs of the community in christchurch meet and that will take some time yet we need to spain being a lot of time working on the long term solutions that are going to take

a lot of commitment not just from the government from but from the people of new zealand as well. well probably more still ahead here on the news hour including israeli media identify a man wanted for killing two israelis in the west bank. coming to his defense a key white house official defends president but what he hasn't said following the new zealand attacks. because more coming up to a last minute goalkeeping error makes all the difference in the semifinal lineup was decided in the english. second israeli has died as a result of the shooting that took place on sunday in the occupied west bank israeli media have identified the attacker as a palestinian man suspected of killing an israeli soldier and a rabbi a manhunt is underway and

a number of arrests have been made in the village where the suspect lives it has more now from. the israeli army is still looking for a nineteen year old palestinian home they believe has committed the attack yesterday they have raided the village of the north of the west bank and they have interrogated several members in the family including the father who was detained and released later on the fifteen year old brother is still in israeli detention and according to an israeli army statement the army is looking at demolishing the house of the suspect now the army has also. made by confiscated security cameras over there and palestinians across the west bank. israel supremes court has banned the leader of a far right party from running in next month's election it says michael ben-ari of the jewish power party inside the racism against palestinians the decision

a returns a ruling by israel's election committee called also reinstated israeli palestinian parties which had been disqualified for a force that has the latest now from west jerusalem. michael ben-ari is the leader of the arts me a hoodie to a jewish power party which is the descendant of the harnessed party of the one nine hundred eighty s. led by the rabbi meir kahane of a party which itself was banned in one thousand nine hundred eight for its racist stance that is what has happened this time around the high court rather than banning the party vote is targeting michael been ari himself as an individual in accordance with the opinion of israel's attorney general of the judgment being eight to one ruling that he had indeed incited racism or taken concrete steps towards supporting anti arab anti palestinian racism his party though is still eligible to stand so his party colleague it's i've been banned vir will still be able to stand for the knesset and the the reason that this is of such significance

at this time is because the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself engineer the new lines between this party and other right wing parties to try to shore up the right wing vote make sure it was translated into seats in the israeli parliament the knesset on the april ninth elections to ensure he could get a coalition and maintain his right wing coalition after that election it's a step which is seen criticized by moderates here in israel especially by jewish organizations in the united states for dealing in racism there has been some blowback towards this from the right of israeli politics this court decision criticism that the court has been intervening in politics or the justice minister saying that it has crossed a red line and that she would take steps after the election to try to reign in the court at the same time it has reversed the early decision of the election commission to ban a joint list arab party run by a large and also a far left jewish candidate those decisions have been reversed they are eligible to

stand michael ben-ari is not. u.s. backed fighters in syria say the battle to retake one of isis last strongholds will be longer than expected the syrian democratic forces say but efforts to recapture about who's being slowed down by landmines since thousands of civilians are being held as human shields the group is saying it has killed sixteen hundred eisel fighters in the past few weeks. the new york times says the saudi crown prince authorized the secret campaign to silence dissent in the kingdom that involved kidnapping detention and torture the newspaper says a so-called rapid intervention team carried out covert missions some involve the same men who killed jamal in october says the that's according to the front page report and the saudi government has insisted mohammed bin salman didn't order the journalist murdered in istanbul i kind of has more now from washington d.c. . the new york times a reveals that in two thousand and seventeen

a body calling itself the saudi rapid intervention group was formed now this was at about the time that the mohammed bin solomon was elevated to the position of crown prince since then says the newspaper this group has carried out a number of operations in neighboring countries and further afield including the force. of saudi dissidents of back to riyadh and other cities in saudi arabia now the new york times does not name the intelligence sources that use the cia itself has declined to comment however it does name some of the individuals involved in this group it says that the group is headed by sadal cult tiny a close associate of the crown prince now president has insisted that the whole affair of the murder of jamal for shoji in his view is over he says that he is

intent on continuing to conduct business with saudi arabia and to conduct business with the crown prince himself congress has been increasingly angry about this position demanding that president trump continue to investigate jamal khashoggi is murder and also to impose sanctions against those who are held accountable this president trump has refused to do the latest reports it may well be brushed away by the president but will not be brushed off by congress which is likely to use this as further ammunition to continue to put pressure on the president to take some form of action for the murder of jamal khashoggi which this report indicates was not an isolated incident but part of a widespread campaign. now it's a cycle in that is swept across southern africa and has killed more than one hundred thirty people in mozambique ninety percent of the central city of barrow has been destroyed to one hundred seventy kilometers per hour and swept away homes

and bridges and damaged power lines cyclamens travel from malawi across mozambique . where reports now from central mozambique first came to russia's when your brain did pretty much for days any eased off a short while ago and you can see some of the kind of damage that's being done in this country over and landed on the roof of this house luckily there was no one inside here in other parts of the country dozens of people being killed or not downed power lines there's no electricity in any of the affected areas and that means no running water as well and no communications most of the communications lines are down at the on sunday and that cut off the last road that was connecting the coastal capital of beirut with the coastal city of beirut story where cycling hit that's where it came in from the indian ocean and even where we are about three hundred kilometers away the damage is extensive hundreds of houses in this district

have been destroyed people are sheltering in schools always needed in this town itself is now somewhat of an island to roads that connected have both been cut off in one case a bridge washed away in another the road completely submerged by reversals can be very difficult for people here to get any assistance this extraordinary scenes of devastation we can speak not to. the africa region communications manager for the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies joins us now from nairobi tell us more about what your team are reporting from the scene there were among the first to arrive there when they. years we are continuously receiving reports in images and footage from beira from the affected areas and what we can say now is that this kill of destruction is massive we have been important that about ninety percent of the area has been completely

destroyed and what are they telling you about the numbers of potential fatalities and and indeed the mass displacement that must result from such devastation years so the physical impact of the twenty's begin to emerge we can see a lot of destruction in terms of houses but the human impact is not here to clear. according to official reports about sixty eight people have died in the a thousand more than one thousand more have been injured so we have to note that this number is likely to change because one of the challenges it workers are facing now is mainly about access most of the roads have been destroyed in about two years ago one of the dom's in the outskirts of bust and it cut off all access to the city now the last access of elbow and prior to that airports had

closed and no flights were approved so you can see that you know accessing to people who needed help has been a challenge what kind of efforts are you all teams preparing for what kind of scenes you're likely to be having to deal with anything from that feeding people to diseases of. yes so we have tried to prioritize in the assessments of our own growing by the us have been some assessments already so priorities are in terms of shelter so you will remember that before this cycle on heat beira. floods and rains for both a week which had already displaced both seventeen thousand people so even before the cyclon made landfall there were massive needs in terms of shelter so shelter

is one of the most immediate needs in addition to shelter they also need for health care so. people inside situation exposed to the conditions. diseases what are borne diseases likely to come in the effect most of the people and lastly water sanitation and hygiene so people need access to clean water to avoid contracting what a bone disease is so these are some of the things we're trying to do mozambique red cross volunteers are on the ground there were there before providing the new warning to communities an international team from the. international federation of red cross red crescent society is already on the ground supporting the local red cross society to assist people who have been affected it's certainly going to be a formidable challenge we wish you well in your efforts you know from the red cross thanks very much judy. well in a few moments we'll have the weather with rob but still ahead here on al-jazeera.

changing roles a group of former gang members in the u.s. take on a different fight. and we take you to the exhibition the promises to bring business is back in time for a piece of life in the middle east. and in sports lebron james and the l.a. lakers. as they news to the west team in the n.b.a. details coming. bear in mind such on the day hit by a rock on thursday evening and we have just just got proper news from the place as you know almost utter devastation this is thirty six hours after it hit in the amount of cloud covering mozambique reaches zimbabwe even at that point since then

as you know pulses that is in the same sort of area the news isn't to good because although the winds have died down he's usually right it does the most damage and these as far as i know are recent pictures out of beta wind damage and a you hear you'll see at the moment but the water would have been even worse than it was you know power limes down the water supply is off as well now the picture for the next three days is like to be more rain and look at this the heart of it the orange five hundred millimeters more and it's not far from bayer it also reaches up into malawi which is still flooded from where this cycle actually started now seven degrees closer to the equator but in australia this time another psycho to talk about again is not a particularly big one from the point of view of wins it spins rather slowly it's called trevor and these are its current statistics it's rain potential and most likely to be on wednesday is at least five hundred millimeters from northern

queensland. sponsored town and. up to. you. tennessee. us military occupation. my prison my freedom my heartbeat my life my languages my occupation since a lot of little cultural and.

a rock and a hard to please coming soon. but again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of the top stories the new zealand's prime minister says gun laws will be changed in the wake of friday's shooting to mosques that killed fifty people government will consider private ownership of semiautomatic rifles and buying back guns. zealand's top police officers says the threat level across the country remains high police have been deployed around schools businesses and places of worship. a second israeli has died as a result of the shooting that took place on sunday in the occupied west bank

israeli media have identified the attack as a palestinian man suspected of killing an israeli soldier and a rabbi a manhunt is underway. the acting white house chief of staff has defended the us president for not calling out white extremists following the massacre in new zealand mick mulvaney said donald trump has done what a president should do reaching out to new zealand leader and offering condolences but trump has been criticized for not explicitly condemning the attack and in his manifesto the gunman called trump a symbol of renewed white identity government is under has more now from washington d.c. . just on sunday president john donald trump tweeted comments of support towards a fox news host by the name of jeanine pirro this is important because pirro was suspended from her fox news show after saying very anti islamic islamophobia comments on her program trump tweeted support for her again this comes

just three days after the terrible shootings in new zealand that claimed the lives of dozens of muslims now the president's chief of staff mick mulvaney was on the sunday shows and he said this about that claim instead of worrying about well who's to who's to blame how do we stop from doing this with donald trump is no more to blame for what happened in new zealand than mark zuckerberg is because he invented facebook there are some terrible people in the world we need to work with our partners of which new zealand is one of them to try and figure a way to find them expose them and bring them to justice democratic senator tim kaine also was on the sunday shows and he had some very pointed comments i want to read it to you he said we have to confront the fact that there is a rise in white supremacy anti immigrant an anti muslim attitudes in america tim kaine said the president united states uses language that's often very similar to the language used by bigots and racists that was from senator tim kaine on sunday

many people hoping the president donald trump will be more do more to denounce this but so far in his presidency he's been reluctant to do so well susan devoid was the former race relations commissioner in new zealand she says the attack in christchurch shows that white extremism is most definitely on the rise as new zealanders would probably think well we are one of most peaceful countries on earth and that this doesn't happen and he said and in my two ms rice nations commission is a walk nice and. i tried really had to get new zealand has to understand that this happens in our country you know that most magical eyes and vulnerable groups face abuse and discrimination every day you know and i think. you know i haven't made a muslim woman new zealand who hasn't suffered some form of abuse and discrimination you know and we might think that that's. it and the signs were there that it was building you know in recently is these things have increased and in the

full people in the government to actually take them seriously and i think that's what's happened as people would actually taking these threats seriously you know it also happens to our jewish community as well people seeing the rise of white supremacy hatreds being normalized everywhere in the world and what we're seeing now is a rise in people feeling validated to do so you know for what's happening all around the world and that has now creeped not crypt into our country it's been made very very very visible so this require as real real real leadership from the very top you know i have been instrumental in bringing the voice of a muslim community to the ladies of our country to those in senior officials and sadly today what we've seen is that those voices have been ignored so all they have asked for is for help they've asked for results is both human and financial to actually build stronger communities and that's one of the pillars of countering

violent extremism is at the grassroots these communities know the issues that face and that they also have the solutions it's not for us to tell them what to do it's for us to actually give them support to be able to do it it wouldn't or possibly wouldn't have prevented what has happened today but that's part and passage of what we need to do going forward it's really important that we continue to do what we did yesterday and the day before that and the day before that is to call out white when in we we say it to be brave to actually understand now that this happens even peaceful on new zealand racism as happened for years ask any modern new zealand odds are also spoke with poor new zealand's human rights commissioner and he says he hopes that trying to be brings more when mr human rights abuses in the country. we have to keep in mind that when you look across the world you see linda has one of the best human rights records in the world but one has to say the competition isn't great is it new zealand is

a multicultural society it's welcoming of all religions all backgrounds all ethnicities but having said that there's no doubt that in some quarters of society in new zealand the reserve problem of islamophobia and there is a problem of racism and we have to be mature enough to recognise that and then try and take steps to deal with it i think that we have to give closer attention to this ghastly insidious invidious problem we have to give closer attention to it i mean for instance we the new zealand human rights commission has been asking for better collection of. hate related crimes we need to know the scale of the problem and then once we have that information we need to have a comprehensive survey examination of this phenomenon in new zealand and then we need to devise on top of that an effective plan of action to deal with this sort of

xenophobia extremism and i think that it's beholden on us in order to support the islamic community in new zealand to take those steps and others i have to say that i'm here in christchurch and i'm attending a lot of meetings with the muslim community here in christchurch and i'm i'm really impressed by the the unity they demonstrate and the dignity they exhibit and it's those sorts of sentiments on which we have to build but we must recognise that there is a problem and devise suitable policies to address. that. the number of indonesians killed in flash floods and landslides in papua province has risen to at least seventy nine doctors have set up tents to treat the wounded rescuers are looking for survivors trapped by modern fallen trees a baby found on the rubble was reunited with his father. also in indonesia rescuers

youth and his dream of a life in the united states the government recently released the file the communist party kept on him and he found the name of the man who betrayed his escape plan you know what though. i thought then what am i to do kill him whoever has done wrong must not be judged by our people were beaten some could take it and some couldn't or some time someone was condemned to death they would keep him for forty five days with his head covered and his hands tied then someone would come from the central committee and say the party had spared your life but you must work for. albania was one of the most isolated and repressive communist regimes people weren't even allowed to talk to foreigners they were fed a propaganda diet suggesting that this was an exemplary society and who executed thousands ruled them with an iron fist people could end up with for listening to

western music or being overheard saying they didn't like albania or complaining that they hadn't enough to eat during half a century an estimated one hundred thousand people served time in forced labor camps including women and children that's one in eighteen albanians thousands died in such places in the three decades since the fall of communism there has been no inquiry and no justice for the denounces and persecutors of these political prisoners. that says aggro is because the same people have remained in politics that could be why this history of political persecution isn't taught in albanian schools. runs an awareness program for young people because she believes the failure of the political system to account for its past mistakes still haunts it the company's rulers they could do whatever they wanted with their people nobody cared about them and this is still going on still now we see that we just girl and

we support very old tory tarion leaders at the end who don't take responsibilities for the mistakes they do the government gave a gram sixty five thousand dollars as compensation for the fifteen years of hard labor he did he spent it sending his three daughters to study economics in germany and the u.k. and to stay there enjoying the freedom he never could jumps at all plus al-jazeera . a freight train has derailed in the democratic republic of congo killing stowaways who were hitching a ride at least thirty five mostly children died in custody province police expect the casualty count to rise as bodies are found in wagons which i haven't had. the first of the political prisoners pardoned by the democratic republic of congo's new president to be released from jail fairly she katie have promised about seven hundred prisoners will be freed during his first one hundred days in office. lopez

behavior of the former regime. tisha kenny's decision to pardon political prisoners is widely seen as a move to break away from the politics of his predecessor but these attempts are proving to fickle out oh yes there were violent protests by the president supporters in kinshasa after his union for democracy and social progress party suffered a crushing loss on friday's elections for the national assembly joseph kabila is common front for congo coalition took more than two thirds of the seats in the senate or upper chamber and it already holds a majority in the lower chamber now many are questioning the president's ability to govern independently on the streets it's feared there could be more violence. he said the good the evil and good supporters of the president claim they did not have enough senate is but it's not our issue they shouldn't come and carry out these acts of vandalism in our neighborhood. but the mission. despite the setbacks to she can he says he will continue to push his agenda forward in addition
