a man and he was given that got just and here's the address of the military and he's begun michigan of the m. sixteen put out one and. got over that another to get a gun. and they're here but as you say what they're doing and not took me here looking are not the way he is tough in the guards at all it is started shooting us we hide behind. them when we see they're fighting to try to. jump the fence and then. next host to the mosque on this side. of the fighting where the owner of. a second nearby mosque was also attacked it's not clear at the shootings were carried out by the same on the prime minister has called one of new zealand's doctors days. it is clear that this can now only be described

as a terrorist attack. from what we know it does appear to have being well planned two explosive devices attached to some speaks of. have now been found and they have been to sound there are currently four individuals who have being apprehended but three connected to this attack who are currently in custody. i drive our film the moment police got the man believed to be the terror suspect his car off the road wheels still spending. he has been identified as an australian citizen with a history of far right extremist views. or for the very latest let's cross over live to the. early in christ church samantha what can you tell us about the suspects and their possible motives for this attack. well

a men is jesuit here tomorrow in the christchurch district court on a charge of murder and we'll find out more about that the in the prime minister just in and doing he described this as a terrorist attack she says none of the s.b. that are currently in custody or in total or free actual additional stress. at any and not that there's nothing that the police have apparently or army. much less than those ealing is on high alert how are security and emergency services dealing with this situation. is the whole country's very much on alert security. services have advised unmasks who knows there is. a police presence that masks throughout the country and. there's also been you know just

even ones on high alert they were there with the response to. happen the land area and another city and then look island and it just shows how on earth our needs into an alert people are really a country that wasn't putting out related to the question which incident last and it just shows that everyone in our hi-lo is in their place. really mobilized the people. the mosques that were targeted here were are in christ church of course how are the people there the people in christchurch coping with this. how the homestead is in shock it really is and shark. is just actually unbelievable that this could happen yet and the whole city you know what was on lockdown really worked for quite a few hours. and children were likely to go into largely the hospital and at.

buildings in the central city here were sense and made their way home in most people i would imagine are just keeping their eyes on much yet named after a media and just expressed fear excellent shock and dismay that something like that is could have been here. in muslim community this must be devastating for them. he is the muslim community in new zealand is quite a small community totaling roughly fifty thousand based on the last census data that we have and that required to about one percent of the population so for a small community questions of this community. it resists to measure about a quarter of the people who are muslims in new zealand were born here and the risks from all over the world are also quite a large number of the written g. and migrant community here in new zealand a part of the muslim community so. just real shock yes this community has

been targeted here. a minister was. going much trying to improvise yes. this isn't new zealand this isn't new zealand and people are about and you will sustain already i'm expressions of that sort of solidarity on social media and you're just people wanting to support the fellow citizens and. make clear that. the sort of the text. that the those sort of any hundreds seem to months behind as a text doesn't belong in new zealand that was that a very strong message that the prime minister gave the country earlier condemning really god's motives behind the tech w. smelter early in christ church thank you very much. well it's emerged that one of those in custody is australian born let's cross over

now to roger maynard journalist who joins us from sydney roger the australian prime minister has confirmed that one of those under arrest is from australia what do we know about him. we know his name that brandon brandon terrence he's twenty eight and it comes from the rural a town of grass to me northern new south wales a couple hundred watts three four hundred miles north of sydney he was a group of fairly wouldn't last character apparently and he described himself in a manifesto which he put online to do if. an australian who came before really working class low income family he said my parents are scottish irish and of english stock and he said in a fairly regular jogger without any great issues he said i had little interest in education during my schooling barely forcing grades he said i'm just

a regular white man from a regular family who decided to take a stand to ensure the future of his people now will remember that remains to be seen but people here are viewing him as a right wing extremist certainly that was what would prime minister said today he described a school bus the prime the australian prime minister described him as a radical violent right wing extremist terrorist adding i am appalled and sickened by this incident so a bit embarrassing for the australian government to given that they're pretty close relations with the new zealand that one of their own one of their own citizens has been how it was possible for this very very serious crime say you mentioned a manifesto there roger and some are describing that suspect their struggle in suspect as a right wing extremist a right wing terrorist what do we know why he targeted mosques specifically. low we don't all all we know is that he left australia about twenty eleven even

working in a gymnasium in his hometown of grafton and the woman who employed him in the gulf to know was the quoted a local media here today saying that the. he was a regular character she like can't believe that somebody i probably had the dealings with and she had conversations with and interacted with on a regular basis would be capable of going to this extreme what i look what what what exactly turned him towards this sort of a terrorist mentality remains to be same he said when he left australia in two thousand and eleven that he was going travelling for a couple of years or busy he ended up in new zealand and has been living in christchurch we understand for some time and and he's always he made contact with other fellow right wing extremists in the in the country and devise this terribly. sad and sickening we'll look at straighted attack on the local muslim community

then roger thank you very much for that journalist roger manere there talking to us from melbourne australia. now let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today investigators say a piece of wreckage from the crashed ethiopian airlines plane shows a link to the lion airplane that came down last year the fragment from the tail stabilizer may reveal that the jet snow was forced down worm's photos show that the flight data recorder is damaged but not destroyed all one hundred fifty seven people on board were killed. people in the brazilian city of san paolo have held a ceremony for eight victims of a school shooting two former pupils carried out the attack on wednesday such incidents have been relatively rare in brazil and last majority major shooting

rather at a school was in two thousand and eleven. and israel's military says it has launched air strikes on several targets in the gaza strip in response to a rocket attack on tell me the most indian media reported hamas naval base near the town of qana units was targeted there were no immediate reports of casualties. a russian american team of three astronauts has successfully docked at the international space station back in october two of them had their journey into space cut short when a technical problem on their so use rockets led to the flight being aborted two minutes after launch astronauts will conduct various experiments during their stay aboard the u.s.s. . now to london and the british parliament has voted to did lay its departure from the european union lawmakers voted strongly in favor of asking the e.u. to postpone bragg's it for at least three months but any delay must be approved by

all twenty seven remaining e.u. countries. a third night a third vote and a firm decision to put the brakes on projects that. the eyes of the right. four hundred twelve the nose from the left two hundred two so they are inside it the ayes have it on law. m.p.'s overwhelmingly backing a motion to try and extend britain's planned departure from the e.u. brussels now has to sign off on the delay which would last until june if the u.k. approves the deal in the coming days failure to agree a deal could lead to a much longer postponement and potentially to know that at all. for prime minister to resign may who's plan to leave the e.u. has been rejected twice the fear of losing control of bracks that might just be enough to get stanch that backers in her own party to finally support her plan in

a third vote in parliament next week. the e.u. insists that may's plan which is the product of two and a half years of painstaking talks is the only one on offer. like. she do or you many good to see if the united kingdom still wants to leave the european union and it wants to leave in an orderly manner which is what the prime minister tells us in this treaty such as it is which organizes the orderly separation this treaty is the only one possible and available at the theatre sort of. on the streets of london people on both sides of the debate vented their frustrations. well i think the most sensible solution would be that we leave on the twenty ninth of march with no deal it is easy to say sorry we made

a mistake. mistake there is no question about that in my mind i'm astounded absolutely stunned by what's going on think it's a complete shambles cayle says so much fun this is all politics should be no one knows what's going on nothing's being raised by anyone it's all falling apart do you find this into training. scrambling for a way out of the country's worst political crisis in decades two and a half years after voting to leave the e.u. it will now be up to process to decide if they want to help britain make a clean break with the bloc. you're watching news still to come skipping school for action against global warming students worldwide join the fridays for future climate movement we need some young protesters here in berlin. first we're going to the u.s. senate there has voted and president trumps national emergency declaration which was meant to secure funding for a wall on the mexican border the senate vote was

a rare instance of republicans breaking with an issue central to his presidency the president has pledged to veto the resolution for the age of fifty nine. forty one the joint resolution is passed. a stinging setback for donald trump and the republican controlled senate a majority of lawmakers rejecting his border emergency declaration among them twelve republicans they told trump this vote is not about security at the you asked mexico border rather mr president it is so saw one occasion involving whether. this body will stand. for its institutional. with the vote of the senate delivered a bipartisan rebuke to the president put it past two years senate republicans have

been reluctant to back donald trump therefore this vote is significant it could foreshadow more resistance to come against this unconventional president it could also bolster several lawsuits contesting trump's emergency declaration as a violation of the constitution which grants congress the power to decide how to spend federal tax dollars. facing defeat on the senate floor more quickly to play down the votes of mr she it doesn't matter will probably have to veto and it's not going to be overturned and we're going to have our whole thing it's been legal scholars will say it's totally constitutional. trump is now expected to issue his first veto since taking office and neither the house nor the senate has the necessary two thirds majority to override that means the matter will be decided in the courts twenty states and various legal advocacy groups such as public citizen

are suing the administration. in the past national emergencies have been where there was no time to go ask congress to appropriate funds the situation here is completely different nothing has really changed along the border it's not a new situation so it's not an emergency in that sense and never before has the president reacted to congress saying no by declaring a national emergency. in the end the supreme court is likely to have the final say on the matter. what's most important is that he see. significant. students in an estimated one hundred countries around the world are. out on strike today joining this girl behind me swedish climate activist rent to own back she started a movement called fridays for
