again this is down to zero let's take a moment to remind you of the main news this hour new zealand's prime minister says the gun laws will be changed in the wake of friday's shooting at two mosques that killed fifty people the government will consider banning private ownership of semiautomatic rifles and buying back outlawed guns a cyclon that swept across southern africa has killed more than one hundred thirty people in mozambique ninety percent of the central city of beirut has been destroyed according to the red cross and red crescent societies. the jewish rabbi has died of his injuries following sunday's shooting and stabbing attacks in the occupied west bank that israeli soldier was the ideal settlement bitmap loose the

israeli army has made arrests of the village where the palestinian suspect lives. a counterterrorism meeting is under way in the netherlands after a shooting was reported in the city of tracked shots were reportedly fired at a tram police have cordoned off the area several people were injured we'll bring you an update on this breaking news as soon as we have further details the acting white house chief of staff has defended the u.s. president for not calling out white extremists following the massacre in new zealand make more of a neat so that donald trump has done what a president should do reaching out to new zealand's leader and offering condolences but trump has been criticized for not explicitly condemning the attack and in his manifesto the government called trump a symbol of renewed white identity al-jazeera as gabriel was on the reports from washington. 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 a reluctant to do so susan devo it was the former race relations commission new zealand and she says the attack in christchurch shows that whites extremism is most definitely on the rise as new zealanders would probably think we are one of most peaceful countries on earth and that this doesn't happen any sentiment 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 there 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 leaders 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've

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 see it to be brave to actually understand now that this happens even peaceful or new zealand racism has happened for years ask any modern new zealand. us back fighters in syria say the battle to retake one of isis last strongholds will be longer than expected the syrian democratic forces say that efforts to recapture pardew's being slowed down by landmines it says that thousands of

civilians are being held as human shields the group is saying that it's killed sixteen hundred eisel fighters in the past few weeks. israel's supreme court has banned the leader of a far right party from running in next month's election it says the michael ben-ari of the jewish power party incited racism against palestinians the decision overturned the ruling by israel's election committee the court also reinstated israeli palestinian parties which had been disqualified perry forces has the latest from west jerusalem. michael ben-ari is the leader of the us 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 and i've been banned via 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 engineered a 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 and 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. the new york times says that the saudi crown prince saw the rise to secret campaign to silence dissent in the kingdom that involved kidnapping detention and torture and he's paper says a so-called rapid intervention team carried out covert missions some involve the same men who killed jamal in october since the front page report the saudi government has insisted the bomb had been solved and didn't order the journalists in istanbul but aborigines ians killed in flash floods and landslides in papua

a group called cure violence is using a novel approach to reduce the killings treating violence like an epidemic and sending health workers mostly former gangsters into dangerous neighborhoods to stop the contagion a lot of people don't know valises like it's contagious disease you know. is watching us do the same thing just to sell us the approach started in two thousand after spending fifteen years with the world health organization battling tuberculosis cholera and aids in africa dr gary slotkin returned to chicago to find an astonishing parallel it looked to me just like these other problems like these other infectious diseases to say the maps showed clustering just like cholera and a. contagious disease. in west chicago in the most dangerous police district in the country shootings and killings fell sixty seven percent in the first year since then the program has expanded to several of chicago's worst

neighborhoods and to twenty five other cities in more than fourteen countries we joined the group in two thousand and thirteen when a rival gang shot up the van of a man called grandad in a case of mistaken identity as the gang prepares to retaliate granddad calls cure violence then known as ceasefire after the violence interrupters broker a tense negotiation the government offer three hundred dollars for repairs the price of a life here. the violence. during the cold months because it's. happened so a little interaction now a more peaceful summer studies show neighborhood violence interrupters can reduce killings by fifty to seventy percent new york and los angeles each spend about twenty five million dollars a year on the program. and. they

want you know but funding for chicago where it all began is just five to six million dollars a year and each year the city sees more murders than the two larger cities combined but even five million has made a difference john hendren al-jazeera chicago a new exhibition in new york is going back as far as two thousand years to look at life in the middle east it's called the wall between piles. to reports now it's a world that's not that different from today's. a babylonian goddess with rubies for eyes a bust of the prius lawmaker arabian god do shara from petra one of the earliest surviving paintings of jesus christ from what is now syria cultures collide at the met museum's latest eggs edition which focuses on the middle east nearly two thousand years ago called the world between empires it examines the cultural

religious and commercial exchanges that took place as the romans and parthians from what's now iran jostle for control. one of the highlights is this bronze statue of aphrodite a western goddess fitted with a middle eastern style emerald and gold necklace that object is a combination of rome in nearest near eastern religion an art that very much exemplifies the message and concept of the exhibition it's not just ancient deities the exhibition offers a glimpse into ordinary life around the region like this portrait online stone of a woman from palmyra with surviving pigment as well as family portraits coins jewelry and other everyday items so we're trying to show in the exhibition that the saying the same diversity and for a variety that go to make up you or me that those elements and that

complexity apply to ancient people. today with heritage sites being destroyed by ice soul in syria and iraq and by the saudi led war in yemen a major part of the world between empires is given to three archaeologists who worked extensively in the region of course it seems misguided to focus on monuments when people are enslaved there tortured or killed to wipe out or destroy their heritage the landscape the monuments is a way of destroying people so we really separate the two a reminder that the issues that long ago concern the middle east are as relevant today as ever. castro al-jazeera.

those are the headlines here on al-jazeera the news continues after today's edition of inside story thanks. as new zealand mourns those killed by a lone gunman into the mosques kohls grow for a clampdown on islam a phobia what's driving the hatred and prejudice against muslims in western countries and is it linked to white supremacies this is inside story.

at all welcome to the program has them seeking new zealand's prime minister just send a durned calls it a terrorist attack fifty people shot dead in two mosques in the city of christchurch a man suspected to be a white supremacist is charged with murder and it is emerged a seventy four page manifesto full of hate against muslims and immigrants was sent to the prime minister and others just minutes before the attacks and it's the suspect described to us president donald trump as a symbol of renewed white identity when trump often done what he could do to help she told him to show sympathy and love for all muslim communities she says new zealand gun laws will now change. let's remind ourselves of some previous attacks in two thousand and fifteen white supremacist dylan rufe killed nine african-americans in a church in charleston south carolina the following year oscar morel shot dead an in ma'am and his assistant near their mosque in queens new york in two thousand and

seventeen six worshippers were killed by gunman alexander bissonnette at a mosque in quebec city in canada in the same year down osborn drove a van into a group of people leaving a mosque in london killing one man and last year a white supremacist robert bowers shot and killed eleven jews at a synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania. well let's bring in our guest now to talk more about this in melbourne via skype but we have a cross cultural consultant. she is also chair of the australian muslim women's center for human rights in beirut rodger shanahan a research fellow at the low institute an australian think tank and joining us from london matthew goodwin a professor at the university of kent and former member of the u.k. governments and muslim hatred working group good to have you all with us. as name show proof i could start with you then. how when you heard about this attack what

what what was your what went through your mind first where you were you surprised by it shocked i mean given given the what your own country is going through what was your first reaction. it was i think the environment for this kind of attack culminates in the way that has the show meant to some time and i think it was always a question of when. yet it didn't take way through the tragedy and the whole integration that i'm continuing to navigate through the migrants but i think that the inevitability of it was something that sadly many fracking temporaries felt was just a matter of time rodger shanahan what were your will your first feelings when you heard about this. think everybody felt the same

discussed and shock at what had happened. to these people who were peacefully going about observing their religion. you know it still did come probably is more of a shock. the fact that happened in new zealand which is really touched by this kind of attack and doubly so because in a strange citizen was responsible for it so i think combination of all of those things the rarity of the event particularly in like ation in new zealand but also. you know just the shock and horror about about the counties that had been caused in this terrorist attack you know what about the fact that this happened in you in new zealand meth you goodwin i mean like many people i'm sure you are shocked to and horrified by this and for many people who study this perhaps some were not surprised but the fact that this happened in in a country night like new zealand which is known for. being a very tolerant liberal society. well indeed sadly the the mass shooting element

was not as surprising as perhaps it would have been in the past but what was surprising certainly to me was that this occurred in new zealand it reminded me actually of the attacks in norway again to countries norway new zealand that are known around the world for being very tolerant very liberal very relaxed and yet both going through quite shocking events and particularly in terms of politics we've had a very vigorous debate about the rise for example of right wing politics ultra right wing politics in the united states and europe and perhaps that's taken our attention away from some of these other areas of the world that are grappling with some of the same challenges and same problems does name shopper let me come back to you then this is the suspect is as it turns out was is australian and

does it surprise you at all that what given the climate the climate in not in australia right now with things there a kind of a breeding ground for what led him to this sure show and i think i don't believe you know these incidents happen in in a vacuum they they do happen on the grounds are you know it's been extended writing history what really prescribed is the right wing rhetoric based environment that his to find the political leadership that we've seen and certainly a lot of the media conason shock jocks and and it and if you insist that's thanks so big the language that's being used to demonize and generalize the muslims g.'s of minorities has been one that has got a lot of political comments see a lot of legitimacy a lot of free time it has been given to do it is to actually espouse hate and rich in the name will national security in the name of all. sure importance but hearing

reports and often that those comments have been made without us any position or that she see fit to be a tax measures parts from most jews who constantly be demonized so this is almost like an open slather culture if you will that has demonized and has that been very very xenophobic so close some of it because it's officially what it is it is basically created an environment that's just might something be it as normal though when people talk about being surprised it at the actions of a friend terry i'm not surprised at all i think this is the end result of encouraging. making sense and all islam as not the army of this country. basically claim they have no values or rights that consists of the families of this nation to the point where it's made no comment is abroad at least and rightly and

it's going to eat she's our final solution or we never test that theory legitimizing it took technical maneuver as she saw the muslim problem when you say when you say there that the political leadership in australia has given many of these people cover what do you mean by that expand on the. well i think just the recent example are in response to what happened in his ear and i'm serious or fraser any has mainstay of his taken down yet or not but that is that a lot of that cry for what cross the coalition from prospect size of government that would be that they don't support disease but he's believes we're as an elected member of parliament that essentially the actions of what happened to the present people just discomfort with the migration and unfair wilson says was a direct. lesson to racists and only the really horrific big the summit say not just because of the climate the theme but because a half show that you can tease and have a precise mentality then she feels and gives invective to others to her to come

can't what really was done so as a leader is someone's personally own responsibility in this country to then take the view that it's well time stand it will not be seen what happens and justifying it is absolutely appalling rodger shanahan how would you characterize the current climate in australia towards towards the muslim community and towards immigration in general because of course that the australian government has taken. quite a firm stance against. refugees quite a controversial one. listen as a lot to unpack there are probably so i had to start with two things before we started to reading blindman influences on. who influenced this person in the cowardly attack that he carried out you really need to white a period of time to find out his social media background his conversational

background his travel background to find out who has actually influenced him it's very easy to say that the whole environment influenced him but obtain an expert witness in more than two dozen terrorism trials here in astride it and you get the real understanding of what has during this person from a collection of. telephone intercepts from the history of searches from on the internet and the dr net that's when you really understand what what motivated this person the unfortunate reality is we're going to have the white some time before we can actually understand who influenced this person and it's going to be critical to understanding that fact before we can address some of the issues and probably on another issue about why new zealand are numb and this is an issue that will take up some people's time and and if you go from the from the fact that this person had

obviously decided at some point with these high true the most them said he wanted to kill as many as possible it's highly possible that he chose new zealand as the place to do it because of their relatively lax gun laws gotten as much taught in the one of the things that has frustrated islamist terrorists in a straw you previously has been the inability to access semiautomatic weapons so it's quite possible that this person traveled to new zealand and the with a specific purpose or over a period of time decided that you zealand was an ac a target then a straw. on the broader issue of migration and attitude to muslims. what senator fries and he has said is deplorable hopefully tomorrow there's going to be a. bipartisan sense censure of him by both the government

and the lives of piety we also have to remember that yes he was elected representative but he achieved nineteen that's one nine votes in queens and. a range of curiosities with our electoral system and the fact that some of the people ahead of him on the ballot had to leave because of citizenship cleary's he ended up in palm and absolutely he's an elected representative but this is a really a reflection of him as an individual about what he's been signing and the fact that he got nineteen votes probably tells you all you need to know about how much popular support he has he's just a person with a platform particularly offensive you and i think the government and the opposition to doing exactly the right thing and marginalizing him and his views. on the whole issue about migration as you said sorry i'll let you go on yes i will come back to that in a moment i want to get an.
