9:23 pm
a separate division amongst an stage massive protests and bring the population onto this site which the government in power really fear and division governor. really clamp down so if then we're treated. very true to. the same time. you can also use monks for your own purpose you know for very negative aims and objectives back to developers. see the monks are a force that can be used. the n.l.e. government doesn't view the very favorably. so the monks and the military enter into this kind of unholy alliance.
9:24 pm
there is no denying the reverence for the leader during his visit to current state . his devoted followers worship the ultranationalist monks along the way. a crowd of fervent followers is also waiting to receive his speak. for her. i. know. i. i.

9:26 pm
love. good. to see the op. didn't. live here. i. thought.
9:27 pm
i was friends and. i was born and maturity but i think it's. because as a majority our community. i need to admit i was privilege being a military daughter i'm public for even myself is harmful what if i go out i got favor i can do whatever i want if i want to use in my father's power. so everything is privilege and everything is just a fine you dissolve this privilege because you are british just because you do something good in your purse life.
9:28 pm
of course we have clashes even inside the family they don't agree they asked me to stop saying that war against the military because they are that all people if i cause or if i'm playing to the old people i would be in hell in the future. so when i exposed to the different wars when i exported different stories so they gave me a new insights that i need to really stand on using my model as the majority ethnicity a majority religions to define and those were all press. so regarding their range of crisis i feel a huge. burden because that's not just the room and rakhine crisis is that nation of crisis it's not just a nation a crisis a global crisis right now. but why that to have the knee because the fear.
9:29 pm
that the politicians know that if you make people fear for something like the a religion has become sensitive it get easier to create a conflict so it's become like a politic goal we are playing games using that religion and nationality and i didn't cut. the minister of religion he was actually from military that means he got to have some kind of similar ideologue . that recruit that by and l.t. you get but it is so his it makes the stretch that he is walking and as a ministry all religion only for. this town in current state in the south east of me and more is restricted to foreigners and muslims forbidden.
9:30 pm
game. so money which can go. to. the not going on near. the. top the they go. from or not it's a mile. deep in the maze in the ne. no one named it. but he doesn't know it being you know. a that was. a weird name and what does a missile did it got it when i do know i doubt it will. so i didn't call it only
9:31 pm
would it. be either when they had this us on the this or that one you. did beat up. today monks from across the country along with thousands of devoted these have come to pay their last respects at the funeral of one of the region's most influential religious leaders political figures and other public personalities attend the event where the leader is given a position of prestige and also. dorothy. on this trip scores of heavily armed soldiers accompany him. deep down in him as a new one a day. in our name is it it. will table one. million above. or. will.
9:32 pm
the name and the day mean a deed. a day god. all those say d.n.a. . the tinning long on the name that end of it is in. the myanmar minister of religion is at great pains to justify his government's policies regarding the range of prices to them. explaining that any concessions were enacted reluctantly. got. off. with a gun. to my. five. by the law. and. i'll hold onto it oh yes
9:33 pm
a lot. of. our own need to buy. out the whole go go go go. this started of to get a lot of signatures on the petition. supporting. public all the. interfaith marriage laws and because of support. huge never and i think this was a way of trying to test the waters. this happens in democracies now.
9:34 pm
so in the past it was the power of the gun and now it is the power of the vote and the legislators who don't live by the us to be party a. past those walls. and so of our group in st. louis missouri fifteen elections. really tried to play a political role. and to explain that we are to he has visited sri lanka many times and i think it is a game and his role model of the sri lankan monks and nuns at the park that kind of . and according to the new three like an institution. political party composed of buddhist monks is committed and then they also entered the election and got elected
9:35 pm
. monks in sri lanka because of the general emergency. the buddhist monks became very active in politics the same thing is repeated in your mind the political role the nationalist role and the colonial role you know. present. but i would say sri lanka was peds in politics so militant monsters extremist monks in yemen now look at sri lanka as a kind of robot. so that doesn't exist anymore you know that is our gong so they have to find something. and. they say that the same thing for them in the military they need and it means to justify their big budgets you know and their existence. it is the law of evidence that made public
9:36 pm
that the military was supporting them about the them and the law is flush with cash but lots of money. i would do is also because writing fastens for which the budgets say that you have to prepare yourself for the next elections. so in twenty fifteen they where actually backing this certain candidates for election i think they will do the same thing in twenty twenty but on the biggest gail. i really doubt any. doubt any. do think. i am. and i don't like. that sort of call stop result i got was not possible.
9:37 pm
we fall river right on good on the seventh because all toffler of the lucian against the military resistance everybody won the freedom everybody round in my right everybody won democracy. one day the military. should
9:38 pm
a lot of people on the street i've. got i never saw be killing each other from me. i've he so sucked and i feel so angry and same time. after that what can we do we have no power here nor up on are about the music you can speak of to use power to fight back we can screaming. for the human right. person is why one should do among job. losses. mostly who hate islam the bed is the number. no other only the first system. this is not religion this is a politic. by religion. i
9:39 pm
don't understand the policy. i only understand involved humanity i cannot change the war i cannot change even one country. to myself and i wrongly as is. revolution cannot exist without love the illusion with the lead this minute fina with all summer over losing you cannot see changing because of or reason is a change a must walk you and thus time. which is not of the day oh it's just a little i'm not a why don't they just been out in the open yeah a little you know. phone and on. whom no buying one million more dominant now you know young want it. the name that i'll call mother fanned out
9:40 pm
of anonymity double and i'm a letting me down i. slipped up with all my doubting and. the protection of buddhism and the current government inspired devotion among many of me and most people. but there are voices challenging the status quo there is an emerging dissenting youth movement calling for another revolution. for authorities it presents a new challenge. for others who say they want to preserve myanmar's fledgling democracy it offers a voice of hope. that it was always feared the youth in a hope brought new ideas new concepts and who called friend with the cause of it to
9:41 pm
people always. tend to have a slim eyes doing projects like the voice of the humans. we are bringing people together from different communities different religious. grounds for music. so you know it is clearly that. they don't want to see anymore conflicts they want to be together they want to be peaceful they want to be developed you know they want to catch up with the war and they want to. you know they want to celebrate this freedom. so our job is to you know let them be aware of. i how they can influence the future. she said of that. i will not say you have
9:42 pm
freedom of expression now. now we can see what i would want but it doesn't mean they would not risk. feeling. it. in just a new outfit by the same talking us inside i was out. we. feel. we. feel. we. feel.

9:45 pm
question months or. all money pain. to just try our home i think. if we could do their back no wrong. the whole wrong is done. no light so we will not complain about that and. we will not create our own likes to visit our revolution.

9:55 pm
the prime minister just cinder a durned said the cabinet agreed to change the law and i've already made clear that number of new zealanders question the availability of military style simular to medic we can see new zealand however i will be giving i'm all for some sort of days house once we've worked through the in principle decision that kevin has made today earlier on monday the manager of new zealand's largest gun retailer said his company sold four weapons to terrorists but isn't sure if any of them we used in the attack like it do you support the problem is that suggestion that semiautomatic weapon should be night illegal here. i totally agree there should be a gun to bite but to die is not for a guy please respect me on this on going to leave if these are the only questions you have the people of new zealand still have many questions about what happened in christchurch and the government says it will do everything it can to find on says as well as the police investigation which the commissioner says is the largest in
9:56 pm
new zealand history the prime minister says there will also be a national inquiry into what led to friday's attack and whether intelligence and security agencies could have done more to prevent sids. some family members of victims have expressed frustration of the amount of time it's taken to return the bodies to them for burial but religious leaders acknowledged the tough job the police have and said the support the community has received has been overwhelming and we have also seen that to mean those are warning of more what we call here. it is tremendous there's no you know wards that i can bring to this phrase the amount of aggro and support that we have because not only within new zealand but all over the war people here may be struggling to comprehend why friday's attack happened but to give that showing grief respect for the dead and rejection of the apparent motive for out. by wayne hay al jazeera christchurch.
9:57 pm
well andrew thomas has visited one for me to hear about the father and grandfather that they lost. it was thirty six years ago but haji daoud nabil left afghanistan to live in new zealand a good country he thought in which to bring up a family three generations of that family are now grieving. has been his radical people the people here he doesn't care about our search my eyes but if the people my son using were easy why did reason why did they tell your local you further gone to the last. yama nabil had you doubt son had been heading to the mosque himself with his daughter when he saw people running the other way it was on saturday at the community center that he heard the list of names of those who had died. who did not want to hear the question who would like to reach out and really
9:58 pm
. put the news was not good the gunman had murdered haji daoud nabil was. just saying. grief is now mixed with frustration the family would have liked to have buried house you doubt by now don't land them twenty four with the border should be even the graveyard in place but actually. they did not eat the product it. people are being shot in the heart not in the audience cation. so you understand that allies gees. yama would like this father's killer to face the death penalty his brother disagreements he forgives the

god did not worry he'll never succeed there's no way he will be helping is very unhappy. is. unstable this is why he carried this on how can you forgive somebody look this. confidence of knowing good my father is going to paradise but for the whole family the grief it's rule as well as his wife nabil had five children and nine grandchildren that's fourteen direct descendants now in mourning and these are scenes being repeated right across christchurch. the flowers are the public displays of grief the private ones are going on behind closed doors andrew thomas al jazeera christchurch or several new zealand companies including major banks pulling advertising from facebook and google to protest about how they handled video of the attack that was uploaded on their platforms use even prime minister has criticised social media platforms for not doing enough to remove
10:00 pm
videos of the shooting which was live streamed by the suspect the point that i would like to make there is you know obviously the is the nonproliferation it's of of it's availability. one point five million times the fact that only one point two of those times has been automated tells me there of course are powers to take a very direct approach to instances of. speech that incites violence or that incites height and i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate the messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be done. well the suspect is from a stray or police that have conducted several raids as part of the investigation.
