hello. this is bbc news this is bbc news. i'm ben bland. with julian worricker. our top stories: 'so so and it will feel bit warmer we'll be taking a look at tomorrow or so and it will feel bit warmer too, so a bit more springlike by the mornings papers in a moment — time we get tuesday. a similar the main suspect in the killing of a9 people in new zealand has picture on wednesday, after chilly appeared in court charged with murder. further charges are expected. in start with the mist, fog and frost from inside the court have emerged from inside the court new zealand's prime minister vows in the south, that should clear room of brenton tarrant, the away. sunny spells for the bulk of to change the country's gun laws england and wales, just a few 28—year—old australian charged with showers to the far south—west of murder over the mosque shootings in after it's revealed the weapons used new zealand. england, where it will be quite new zealand's prime minister vows windy but temperate is more typical to reform the country's gun of the time of the year. looking at laws after 49 people are killed in the attack were obtained legally. highs of 13 to 15 degrees for most in a mass shooting at at two of us on wednesday. looking to the mosques in christchurch. latter pa rt of us on wednesday. looking to the latter part of the working week and — that gun licence he was able to the jetstream will be sitting to the north of the uk, bringing us there have been attempts legally acquired the guns that he to change our laws in 2005, held. that gives you an indication somebody mild weather. then as we 2012 and after an enquiry in 2017. of why we need to change our gun look towards next weekend, friday on now is the time for change. into saturday and sunday, it does laws. the city of christchurch look like low pressure will start to is in mourning, coming together move in towards the north, bringing to lay tributes to the victims. many sports and social some more unsettled conditions particularly the further north you bangladesh, india and indonesia all say some events cancelled. are. generally in the outlook, it of their citizens were killed does look like high pressure is in the shooting and others are unaccounted for. going to build, so a quieter spell this was, as i understand it, a of weather, dry and warm potentially deliberate decision to target our things turning a bit unsettled, and then everybody just ran to the back doors especially in the north by next to save themselves. weekend, but it is certainly not as wet or windy as we have seen in the
11:31 pm
past week or so. bye—bye for now. i answered the phone and said to her )that your husband has been shot outside the mosque. please go to the hospital and wait for him. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate proctor, political correspondent at the evening standard and henry zeffman, political correspondent at the times. all of tomorrow's front pages are in — with events in new zealand dominating their coverage. the i describes the mass shooting of 49 people in two mosques in christchurch as ‘innocence lost‘. the daily telegraph says the home secetary, has warned social media giants that enough is enough after the massacre was live—streamed around the world. the daily mail reports that the gunman filmed himself while murdering worshippers
11:32 pm
in new zealand's worst ever killing. the times leads on the news that mi5 are investigating whether the white supremacist who carried out the attack had any links to right—wing extremists here. the guardian says the shooting shattered the illusion that that new zealand was one of the few countries beyond the reach of global terrorism. and the sun calls the man suspected of carrying out the attack a facebook terrorist who spent two years planning the massacre. those front pages are dominated by events in new zealand. kicks off with the guardian coverage. they give a clear and straight overview of what was a horrific terrorist attack by a white supremacist in christchurch new zealand. 49 people we re christchurch new zealand. 49 people were killed. a roughly similar number were injured and are being treated at the moment. as we just
11:33 pm
saw. the suspect has just arrived in court and what most of the papers are focusing on as well as the bald brutality of the fact of what he did is this sense that he was radicalised online and that there was a particular social media guy mentioned to this terrorist attack. the image there. each newspaper has picked a different image to try and tell the story. this is very much a scene outside with police doing their work and people on the phone, some looking quite lost, inevitably, by events. this is just a some looking quite lost, inevitably, by events. this isjust a completely unprecedented attack for new zealand. the number of people dead... ithink zealand. the number of people dead... i think there was a statistic is that more people have died ina statistic is that more people have died in a single day in this attack than the usual murder rate per year.
11:34 pm
so the numberof than the usual murder rate per year. so the number of people who died is absolutely appalling. also, i think many papers to show... i don't think new zealand was in the least bit prepared for this. it was not something that was at all on their radar across. that they would ever be the focus of a terror attack. and it raises questions. they are part of the five eyes security arrangement with other countries and what kind of intelligence sharing is happening between the us, canada, australia and new zealand? what was new zealand's roll? it raises so many questions. and this picture on the front page, for me, shows police dealing with something unprecedented. a little different, we have had images of the met responding and you don't quite have the same look of pure chaos and
11:35 pm
panic on their faces. the new zealand prime minister spoke about looking into the intelligence aspect of this and what may or may not have been known and that will be a burning issue for them. been known and that will be a burning issue for themlj been known and that will be a burning issue for them. i had an interview with helen clark a previous labour prime minister of new zealand where she said he just did not strike is the kind of thing that could happen in new zealand. the prime minister is the minister in charge of the intelligence services in new zealand but it is not the kind of thing they prepare for. it is not the sort of thing on their radar. clearly new zealand will never think about itself and its protection from this kind of crime that we have seen in other countries in quite the same way. let's have a look at some of the newspapers that choose a particular angle. the mirror, kate, they are looking at the alleged perpetrator that they found a photograph of him
11:36 pm
asa that they found a photograph of him as a little boy. from what i can tell, this is the only paper that decided to put a picture of the killer, brenton tarrant, on the front page. and they chose this picture of him and sellable boy calling him an angelic boy who grew into an evilfar calling him an angelic boy who grew into an evil far right mass killer. for me, i would prefer to have seen a front that honoured the vic 's and those who died rather than focusing on this killer and even using the phrase angelic boy, as we said earlier, many children look sweet when they are children and i don't know what we are supposed to feel by being confronted with this image of this sweet looking boy. i guess what they are trying to do is to give us a picture of who this person is. we have a few faq. we know he was obsessed with going to the gym. he lived a life online and was on a lot
11:37 pm
of social media forums. i guess we will get to know more about him over the coming days. but today was a time to respect the victims and i would have preferred to have seen a front—page that did that. would have preferred to have seen a front-page that did that. too soon foran front-page that did that. too soon for an image like that? yes. and it is even a sense of too soon. i don't think it answers the question that readers will be asking tomorrow which is that it is not the angelic 01’ which is that it is not the angelic ora which is that it is not the angelic or a bit it is the evilfar right mass killer. there will come a time when it will be interesting to ask but more importantly relevant to the courts in new zealand how he became the kind of person who did what he did. buti the kind of person who did what he did. but i don't think this is helpful or really interesting at this stage. in that case let's go to the telegraph. the first social media terror attack. there were some extraordinary details today about
11:38 pm
how brenton tarrant extraordinary details today about how brenton tarra nt lifestream extraordinary details today about how brenton tarrant lifestream what he did on facebook and that it stayed up. he announced what he was about to do and when of two. . the footage was shared and re— shared on all sorts of other social media platforms throughout the day, and it was being shared faster than platforms were able to take it down. that poses a very serious question about how capable these platforms are of arresting hateful content or indeed whether they have the inclination to put in place the structures to be able to do that. at some point today when it was clear that these videos were being uploaded faster than youtube, in this case, could take them down, the labor party deputyjust suggested that they should suspend uploads.
11:39 pm
clearly this may pose questions but we have had these questions posed before. the only thing i would quibble with in this headline is the fa ct quibble with in this headline is the fact that they claim it is the first. we intensify questions that already exist but the same problems for policymakers in trying to put down the ways in which social media can disseminate this sort of stuff, they are still very difficult. and it raises questions about the people who are looking at it and uploading it, following it. i would not say this is the first social media terror attack. there was another one in paris where we had images and video within minutes. and it felt that you were there at the same. i think what is different about this is trying to get a real understanding of how someone can be radicalised online and which sites was he going to? which were not being monitored by the relative
11:40 pm
authorities? clearly hate material has been able to exist on platforms and this man has been able to access it. and that is one of the questions for social media companies. it is notjust the for social media companies. it is not just the uploads for social media companies. it is notjust the uploads it is forums, if you host a chat site. who monitors it? i do agree, you know, that enough is enough and i know we have heard this so many times but all but ijust hope that this is such an horrendous thing to have happened that it really does change notjust uploads happened that it really does change not just uploads but also the monitoring of social media forums. there is a hint of hope, i suppose, in the image on the front page. yes. a nice image of young demonstrators in london at new zealand house. very young. with unifying messages that love will win and he will lose. united against all terror and i'm sure similar things were happening all over the world. and that is,
11:41 pm
thatis all over the world. and that is, that is heartening. but there really are serious questions about all sorts of politicians and policy makers and societies around the world will need to ask, regarding making sure that this is less likely to happen again wherever. what of the mis to happen again wherever. what of the m15 lead that the times have gone with? this is a different angle. m15 are basically looking at whether there is a link between the killer and the uk. whether there is a link between the killerand the uk. so whether there is a link between the killer and the uk. so what have looked at is the manifesto that brenton tarra nt puts looked at is the manifesto that brenton tarrant puts online in which he said he had been inspired by the islamist phobic attack in britain, he had been inspired by attacks in britain including the attack on since the park. to darren osborne, he was the terrorist behind that attack where a van was driven into
11:42 pm
worshippers outside a mosque. so from what i can tell today, this man has listed many things that are basically inspired him to commit this kind of crime and the finsbury isa this kind of crime and the finsbury is a new one to me. but am i five are also looking into a possible link to the uk because he called for his followers to kill sadiq khan, the mirror of london. and this shows the mirror of london. and this shows the social media elements again, this man operates online and gets his news and inspiration from global attacks, things have happened all over the world. there is? as to whether to whether there is any in intelligence according to the assistant commissioner. yes. the head of counterterrorism at scotland ya rd head of counterterrorism at scotland yard said there is no intelligence
11:43 pm
linking these appalling offence to the uk but it is quite clear from this story that brenton tarrant was operating and thinking in a white supremacist mindset which, because of the internet, is totally linked up of the internet, is totally linked up with the language and thoughts of white supremacy around the world. one particular bit that struck me was that in his so—called manifesto he said he was inspired to kill muslims while travelling in europe. also showing that this is notjust a question of 21st century britain, he said he was inspired by an early british fascist leader. to what the story does wallace give british people much to ponder beyond the horror of what happened in new zealand. questions of white supremacy and his lumbar phobia.
11:44 pm
let's change the subject, let's change the subject, inevitably let's change the subject, inevitably we cannot completely ignore brexit. excuse me, if we can get to this conversation for the next two moments. the son, has a story about the dup and they are facing questions with regard to the vote next week. 0k, and they are facing questions with regard to the vote next week. ok, so the democratic unionist party are p°ppin9 the democratic unionist party are p°pping up the democratic unionist party are popping up theresa may and their ten mps have been really crucialfor popping up theresa may and their ten mps have been really crucial for her in getting legislation still in the past few years and they do not like a brexit deal they have made that very obvious, they have actually been really quiet until it has really mattered and they have not voted with her. today we saw some quite interesting movement on this, the dup are having talks with theresa may and also, they roped in the chancellor, phillip hammond into these talks and thatjust prompted
11:45 pm
my speculation that the dup about to ask for a huge cache package and it might be one that is delivered if they can get behind them and secure those votes. so yeah, the dup got, is it £1.5 billion out of the treasury last time? they have had money already. —— cash. treasury last time? they have had money already. -- cash. the agreement will be up in a few months time and needs to be negotiated, something i think will be on both party's mines. one thing i think we need to mention is that we often westminster mistakes the dup softening the tone for softening the demands they are making of the prime ministerand demands they are making of the prime minister and actually, if you look at what they said about the brexit deal today, the issues are very much the same. they still want the backstop to be time—limited, effectively, they want guaranteed. so far, theresa may has been unable to extract those demands in the eu
11:46 pm
and the you are saying that that is not going to change. i'm not saying that the eu will not back down, it is entirely possible that they will buy tuesday but i think the conservative party in westminster more generally has made the mistake of underestimating that before. we know that is not going to change between now and next week because anyone could change has said we effectively are not to. -- by next week. no, that is the case. the opinion have been very clear that they are not going to open the withdrawal agreement, there are not going to be any legal changes beyond what we have already been able to secure. so yeah, we're heading into next week, tuesday, twisted boat onto his past deal and talks are going on over the weekend but i do not know. —— towards the vote on theresa may's deal. but it does mean if people change their minds now between where we were this week and where we might be next week, it is not because what they are voting on has changed it is because the circumstances they are looking ahead
11:47 pm
to our becoming somehow sufficiently different for them to think they have to behave differently. and that was why theresa may held those votes ona was why theresa may held those votes on a no—deal brexit on wednesday and delay on thursday, it was her mind the brexiteers still holding out against a deal that they really could end up with something that to them is even worse. a significantly softer brexited or no brexited all. it seems to have worked for esther mcveigh. it has, so esther mcveigh, who quit the cabinet as work and pensions secretary over the deal is basically now said that she is going to vote for the deal when it comes back at the time, but you've got to remember that theresa may lost both of her votes on the deal based local margins. the first time around, she lost it by the biggest margin any prime minister has ever lost on, the second time she lost it by the fifth—largest loss ever. loads and
11:48 pm
loads of mps had to change their minds, think it is about 73 mps who need to change their minds. so if you get the dup, you still have a very long way to go. talking of the prime minister, the daily telegraph did. yeah, 0k. theresa may told to fall on her sword as the price for the deal to pass, this is according to two senior downing st figures, unnamed. so this is the idea that aides have said to theresa may if you set out exactly when you're going, if you promise people that you are going to go pretty quickly, then i think people would get behind you and back your deal. so they are basically saying if you do that, you will be able to give a little bit of dignity andi will be able to give a little bit of dignity and i think it is this word dignity, that we have sorta been talking about a little bit earlier on, i'm not quite sure there's much of that left to scrape together if she is going to head out the doors of number ten. i feel like she is going to head out the doors
11:49 pm
of number ten. ifeel like henry has just the defeat has been absolutely colossal, she has had a very critical week, she has lost her voice, she has not been so well, she is not looking like prime minister particularly in control, cabinet's collective responsibility has com pletely collective responsibility has completely broken down, so the idea that she can leave the dignity if shejust happens that she can leave the dignity if she just happens to lay out her departure time scale, do not think is something that really is going... well, the quote here is that she needs to go. if she sets a date her departure, she can be remembered as the woman who delivered brexit. departure, she can be remembered as the woman who delivered brexitlj think it is very telling that this is what even senior aides to theresa may are saying but i think that the flaw in theirargument may are saying but i think that the flaw in their argument is that i am yet to meet conservative mp who after this week thinks that she is anything other than toast anyway. she can set out a timetable for her departure all she likes, but the consensus on eve i’y departure all she likes, but the consensus on evei'y wing departure all she likes, but the consensus on every wing of the tory party, bremain will leave, left alive within the party, is that once this is settled, her deal goes through becomes clear, nobody wants her to stay as leader of the tory party, barely anyone wanted to stay as prime minister and that logic is
11:50 pm
going to eventually reject seven downing st, whether she likes it or not. —— eject. downing st, whether she likes it or not. -- eject. what are your hunches about next week's vote? i'm not sure about next week's vote? i'm not sure about next week but i think if we go to vote four, you are laughing that they could easily happen. it is possible at that point that things might have shifted. we have got the european summit coming up, people might be so worn down that it goes through. i agree. i think might be so worn down that it goes through. i agree. ithink we might be so worn down that it goes through. i agree. i think we will leave the eu would theresa may's deal eventually but i'm not sure that it deal eventually but i'm not sure thatitis deal eventually but i'm not sure that it is quite high noon yet and i'm going to regret saying that on tv. we have had number four. yes, well, thank you both very much. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any
11:51 pm
evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thanks again kate and henry. good evening. here's your latest sports news. after finishing runner—up six times, cheltenham festival's all—time leading trainer willie mullins has finally earned his first gold cup victory. al boum photo, ridden by jockey paul townend, was the 12—1 winner. he had some anxious moments with hisjumping, but raced away to win by two and a half lengths. fellow irish challenger anibale fly was second, with the grey bristol de mai back in third. it is unbelievable, to be honest, i have never felt anything like it. it is unbelievable, to be honest, i have neverfelt anything like it. my whole body was shaking when i went over the line and it is starting to
11:52 pm
sink in now and it is incredible. yeah, i left home when i was 15 and moved up to willie mullins's, and he has guided me and to repay him for the trust and faith in the opportunities he has given me in the gold cup, you dream of doing things like that. —— and the opportunity. there'll be at least one english team in the semi—finals of the champions league. the stand out quarterfinal draw sees manchester united take on five time winners barcelona, with the first leg taking place on the 9th of april. last year's beaten finalsits liverpool got the draw they were hoping for earlier. they take on porto and it's tottenham, potentially in their new stadium for the first leg, up against pep guardiola's quadruple chasing manchester city in the last eight. totally huge respect, of course, because i know them quite well, the different system they use, they play five in the back and the diamonds and four, three, two, one, with the quality from eriksen, how good they i’un quality from eriksen, how good they run behind, the set pieces with
11:53 pm
eczema, he is an incredible taker, experienced in all departments. but if you talk about any other team in the champions league, it would be the champions league, it would be the same. the europa league quarter—final draw was also made today and arsenal face a tough tie against napoli. chelsea will play slavia prague. it's actually the first time in 48 years that england has had six quarter—finalists in major european competitions. lewis hamilton headed a mercedes one, two in second practice at the season—opening australian grand prix. the reigning world champion edged team mate valtteri bottas by 0.0118 seconds, with red bull's max verstappen third. ferrari, who appeared to have the quickest car in pre—season testing, were fourth with sebastian vettel. and there was a rerun of last season's grand final in super league tonight, where warrington made up for that old trafford defeat in october by beating champions wigan. a spectacular finish coming up here from josh charnley made the difference in a 25—12 win for warrington, but the home side finished with two players sent to the stands. and that result moves the wolves up to second in the table, just behind leaders st helens, but wigan have just one win
11:54 pm
from their first six games. in tonight's other match, there was a shock win for london broncos at leeds, while wakefield beat hull fc. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sports. that includes the latest from the players championship golf. hello there. we could well see some trouble from the weather this weekend. there is some risk of disruption, let me show you why. and area of low pressure continues to develop as it moves towards our shores and this is going to bring multiple hazards. rain is the initial concern across northern ireland, could bring some localised flooding here, the rain certainly intense and widespread as well. it is going to be wet across northern england in particular. milder across
11:55 pm
wales. the weather front bumps into the cold air, we will see some snow in the hills vertically because parts of scotland but further southwards for most of england and wales, to want to have any concerns about snow. the weather could be a bit over the pennines for a short time. saturday, let's concentrate on the vein because that is going to be heavier because the pennines and across wales as well. a0 to 70 millimetres over the hills, we could see 100 millimetres over the hills of wales. it is enough to cause some localised surface flooding, we also got strong winds. gusts could reach a0, 50, maybe even 60 miles an hour and exposed conditions. that is enough to cause some localised travel disruption and then there is the snow, the heaviest will be north of the central belt, in the hills, yes, but above 200 metres elevation, you could be looking at ten centimetres of snow, so there is the potential of even getting a little bit of snow for a time down to the central belt, perhaps getting a
11:56 pm
slushy covering. so he snow and heavy rain, strong winds as well. it isa heavy rain, strong winds as well. it is a triple whammy that could cause some problems into saturday. saturday evening sees a school event of rain push because eastern areas of rain push because eastern areas of england, very windy first time. do the rest of the night, bristol north—westerly winds dragging in plenty of showers. cold and i particularly across parts of the north. then on into sunday's forecast, the area of low pressure continues to deepen as it moves out into the north sea. that means we some strong winds across northern and central areas of scotland, they will be showers dragged in on these easterly winds and the majority of the showers will be across northern and eastern areas, but is immune. we're going to the showers will be across northern and eastern areas, but nowhere is immune. we're going to see downpours because southern and western areas of the uk as well. it is going to feel much colder than nine or ten on the barometer given the strength of those brisk north—westerly winds. we have some strong winds and he has some hill snow, these three issues could cause
11:57 pm
a few problems out and about on the 00:27:02,244 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 road, so stay tuned to the forecast.
