have justice he sought many things from his act of terror but one was no shariah. and this is why you will never hear me mention his name he is a terrorist he is a criminal he is an extremist but he will when i speak be nameless or to speak to our cause right when he joins us live from christchurch and when that speech emotional poignance what's been the reaction. yes another very powerful speech made by new zealand's prime minister just the first as you mentioned parliamentary session since the attack on friday and i think there were clear indications in the there are a couple of major issues that she is determined to keep pushing yes she spoke in that speech a lot about the victims and their family members and the ongoing support that they

are going to need but she also spoke about things like social media we know that the only suspect in this attack which she refuses to name anymore live stream the attack on facebook she's been outspoken about this saying that the social media companies need to be doing more to prevent this type of thing happening again in parliament on tuesday she said that these companies cannot keep reaping the financial rewards while taking no responsibility and the other issue of course is the issue of gun control laws in new zealand she says the laws will be changed because of what happened on friday and in parliament again on tuesday she gave a very personal reason why as i lift them more school i visited on sunday here in wellington a child a very young boy called out my name and i asked prime minister we be thankful now mrs speaker i hear in this house today that we are all collectively committing to

telling their young boy doing nice as i told him. and we will do all we can do. we will do everything in our power to ensure that that is the case. well on monday the prime minister met with his cabinet ministers for the first time since the attack she says they all agreed on a lot of changes to control the use of certain guns a new zealand perhaps ban the use of certain guns and new zealand but she did not go into details after that cabinet meeting on monday she says we'll know the details of those law changes within the next week before the next cabinet meeting on monday next week but it seems that the main focus will be on banning the sale of semi automatic weapons the type of which we used in the attack on friday are wayne thanks very much indeed await his reporting there from. oh let's take this on we

can speak not inability to better use an associate professor of media and communications at the university of auckland he joins us now to be a was a media and colmes a communications expert to get your take on the media coverage meter courses huge responsibility at times like this has it lived up to their responsibilities. i think in some respects no and in other respects things have been better i think it's a learning process for the for the media through this event and you know of course we're dealing with a huge variety of media obviously there's been some criticism of. newspapers and sites that link to the to the live stream video on facebook. and to the manifesto as well of the of the terrorist in question.

i think the other question is the kind of lack of knowledge of muslim communities that's been shown up i think in terms of at least local and national press here in new zealand. not many journalists with much knowledge of muslim communities. and not many muslim journalists i think that hopefully will change. i think in in some respects the prime minister set the tone. for us in terms of house too. address the muslim communities and the kind of empathy she's shown as well and i think relatively speaking in terms of some some of these kinds of events around the world in new zealand on television and on radio there's been a lack of sensationalism and. you know kind of respect for the the trauma and the

feelings and sentiments of. the families of victims and the muslim communities themselves what's your assessment of how the the approach as to how mainstream media covers a far right white perpetrator to say a muslim gunman we can make a direct comparison to invents in new zealand to events yesterday on monday in holland in the netherlands. i think in terms of how they address it i think they've been very careful actually about not giving publicity to to this shooter or this terrorist far right scariest. i thought i found it quite respectful in that sense and in comparison with reporters elsewhere really.

and finally what about the social media there's been a lot of focus on social media of course because of the way the events unfolded and how the gunman had filmed it as he was going ahead with what he was doing. social media ever rise to the challenge that faced with. i think it there is a way for i mean i think facebook and. the wider platforms need to think about how they're operating and there needs to be greater regulation and thinking about how to regulate these platforms. but i mean the social media social media rizieq extremely varied and i think many aspects of social media have actually risen to the challenge in terms of twitter. and aspects of facebook and

instagram and so on there have been. there have been counter voices so i don't think we can blame the the social only the social media i think it's also has to do with the more general kind of environment of. amplification of extremist voices or voices that are anti immigration anti refugees a kind of validation and sanctioning of of celebrities and. people coming with those sorts of opinions. on those media so i think on not just on social media but on mainstream media as well so what's a little worrying here is that many. journalists who've actually been relatively supportive of. these kinds of right wing voices or anti immigration sentiments have

i now kind of in retrospect deleting that tweet so going back to websites and deleting some of that content it's parts of actually creating a broader environment that makes. it that sanctioned. these kinds of views to some extent all right now bill we'll leave it there i do appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed and to barry talking to us when i mentioned that incident in the netherlands police say they have now arrested a man suspected of shooting dead three people on the tram the thirty seven year old is now in custody after police launched a manhunt to find him in the city utrecht but there is confusion over the motive for the attack landsberg as it's. an empty tram on the corner of a junction on the outskirts of this is where a man opened fire on passengers on monday morning. and eight hour manhunt

followed while residents were urged to stay inside their homes schools were closed and security was increased around mosques as heavily armed police and counterterrorism units raided several buildings in the area. a photograph of the suspect shooter was released on social media by police came as a thirty seven year old man born in turkey early reports by authorities pointed to a possible terrorism motive but later added that other factors could have been behind to killers action. what has happened today before going into deeper research the first indications of the facts the statements that have been made in the tracy that have been found he has to take into account the terrorist much of a sion the dutch prime minister mark speaking after two suspect was arrested said there was still some confusion about his motives but acknowledged he was known to its origins so. there are many questions in rumors it is still unclear what the

motives are behind this attack now predominantly there's a sense of horror and disbelief which prevails over the terrible events of today that innocent people have been taken away from their relatives in this way. this shooting on the country's busy public transport. who are on a custom to fight crime or gun murder. forensic teams are working through the night to uncover what really happened here. al jazeera at its best and that means a lot still ahead here on al deserve a lot of a pigeon celebrates five years since russia annexed the crimea region from ukraine . hello again to all this are doing a star here across parts of north america specifically into the plains of the united states where we have seen widespread flooding since last week's big storm

involved seven three seven max eight planes and one time that has more now from washington d.c. . well the justice department investigation is virtually unprecedented in fact there's only been one occasion before in u.s. aviation history where this type of criminal proceeding has been launched in the wake of an accident now what at the justice department is looking at in particular is the certification process of these boeing seven three seven maxes and the role that the federal aviation authority the f.a.a. did or didn't play in the certification process now it's significant that the subpoena was issued by the federal jury and the day after the crash in ethiopia however this was a coincidence the investigation had been ongoing it's taken since that particular day for news of the investigation to emerge boeing's chief executive

officer has issued a statement on these accidents saying only that boeing remains committed to safety it is carrying out its own investigations but he does not address the issue of a justice department investigation an investigation that will not only look at boeing's procedures but is also likely to look at the relationship between the federal aviation authority and boeing with regard to these safety procedures. britain's prime minister tourism a has suffered a new setback over breaks it the speaker of the lower house of parliament has ruled that she can only hold a third vote on her deal to leave the you if it is fundamentally different from before may's deal has been rejected by m.p.'s twice and speaker john bercow says he will not allow another vote unless substantial changes are made. what the government cannot legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same

attempt to we know in chile that ministrations show the venezuelan people especially his followers of the government is trying to solve many of the problems that people in this country are facing today among them there's been an enormous power outage in venezuela for days people clear where without electricity without more from one of the things people struggling with hyperinflation shortages of food of medicine among other things and everything pellets that the situation is going to get the boys to peer past us sanctions start to have an impact in venezuela they're expected to begin the all of sanctions against this country later in april but we're being told that it's already having an effect i'm not sure if you can see here i am in port but i could live in the state of i'm so i think he and i can count from here at least seven or else hunkered that venezuela has not be filled with the oil that venezuela has not been able to sell in its way like trying to reach maybe the place of the united states has in the oil markets here but an

apparently they're trying to send it to india and of course russia and succeed a lot of people outside of what we're being told that there's already what is known here is over compliance people that are afraid of buying venezuelan oil because of the consequences that something like this could have with the united states and angering their night in states in the meantime the opposition leader flung why don't sense that he was going around the country and trying to get people to march forward to pile up. you know if that's where you call out my window besides that the presidential island that would be given a normal demonstration that's what a concession you know why i don't use trying to do and i would. generate more attention in this country. russia's president is in crimea celebrating the fifth anniversary of. two thousand and fourteen russian troops invaded the key strategic peninsula in the black sea since then putin has invested billions of infrastructure
