12:08 pm
very much wanting to improvise yes. this isn't new zealand this isn't what new zealand and his people are about and you will sustain already i'm expressions of that sort of solidarity on social media and just people wanting to support the fellow citizens and. make clear that. the sort of the text. that the those sort of any hands. behind or the text don't belong in new zealand that was the very strong message that the prime minister gave the country earlier condemning really god's motives behind as a tech. 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

12:10 pm
a right wing extremist certainly that was what the prime minister said today he described a school bus the prime illustration 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 the 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 has a right wing extremist a right wing terrorist what do we know why he targeted mosques specifically. we know we don't all all we know is that he left australia about twenty a little even working in a gymnasium in his hometown of grafton and the woman who employed him in the gulf to know or the quoted a local media here today saying that the. he was
12:11 pm
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 extremes what i love what what what exactly turned him towards this sort of a terrorist so mentality remains the same he said when he left australia in two thousand and eleven that he was going travelling for a couple years or was he ended up in the new zealand and has been living in christchurch we understand for some time alone and he's always saying make contact with other fellow right wing extremists in the in the country and devise this terribly. sad and sickening we will look at straighted attack on the local muslim community that. that was roger maynard talking to us a little while earlier from sydney australia now let's take

among at least a thousand cities where students were expected to skip classes today to push for action from their local and federal governments. our very own kate brady is on hold the streets of berlin where students have gathered for the global climate action large should take the young people there are skipping school braving the cold to be out on the streets what's the mood among them calling for action against climate change but. i think as you might be able to see and hear behind me here terry the the military certainly will of high spirits but there's also a sense of frustration here as well from the students who as you say ah skipping school and calling for action against. i'm it changed the frustration of the older generations and of course most of all others politicians who are currently in power
12:18 pm
here in germany what do they wall which what are these students who are out on the streets who obviously they want their future preserved but what specifically are their demands. well there are a number of demands but specifically to germany would have the big issues for students here is the phase out of coal fired energy and at the moment the german government plans to phase out coal fired energy by twenty thirty years that he she did say on strike today that's just simply not soon enough and they want to see the end of coal fired power by the end of twenty thirty and they're also calling for so why did a man such as action against reducing greenhouse gases and also reducing the use of plastic as well but what they really want to see is some immediate action in response to the strikes which have been going on for two months now here in germany this friday is for future move think kate it has turned into a global phenomenon how much momentum does it have when you're out there on the
12:19 pm
streets talking to these young people do you get the feeling that there is a a movement that might have some staying power. really it certainly seems that they do have some staying power so you for the german kids there been hazing the streets across germany not just here in poland but nationwide since january now so not the best time of year to be heading out into the streets either so certainly not fair weather demonstrators and the numbers are growing as an estimated ten thousand school kids out on the streets today here in berlin alone and i think while those numbers continue to increase we will certainly see some momentum a continuum behind these demonstrations and they're also gaining more support as well from parents and grandparents and as you might be able to see from some of the people walking behind me here every week there are also more parents and even some teachers coming out in support now of the students who are leading this movement.
12:20 pm
brady out on the streets of berlin take you so much. well it seems german students aren't the only ones unhappy with the government here it's one year since until americans conservatives went into coalition with the social democrats but a new survey shows that seventy percent of germans are not satisfied with the governing coalition's performance it's been viewed as a marriage of convenience germany's grand coalition between the countries opposing big tent parties under the auspices of chancellor. that was a year ago and yet less than a third of germans now surveyed say they're still satisfied with the coalition between merkel's conservatives and the social democrats seventy percent are not. it took half a year following the two thousand and seventeen general election for germany to get a government they didn't take long thereafter first in the early fall largely over migration policy meanwhile the grand coalition has tackled some of its platform for
12:21 pm
example more money for daycare and schools. seventy percent of germans think the parties are at odds with one another lacking a unified vision just twenty six percent reject this negative view. of voters blame for the current political situation one person they don't the chancellor herself. germany's most popular politician but her days as leader of the country are likely numbered now that she stepped down as the leader of her party merkel's decision to stay on as chancellor until the next general election in two thousand and twenty one has the support of nearly sixty percent of german surveyed thirty seven percent would like to see her go sooner and if the election took place this sunday her c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc would capture the most votes with twenty nine percent. while the social democrats would fall to seventeen percent the far right alternative for germany
12:22 pm
would take home thirteen percent with the business friendly free democrats and the left party getting eight and nine percent respectively it's the greens making waves with nineteen percent of the vote they become the second largest party in germany. polio is virus that mainly effects children under the age of five pakistan is one of just three countries in the world that has yet to be declared polio free authorities there have launched a fresh vaccination drive to fight a rise in cases but at least seventy health workers have been killed since december two thousand and twelve through a mixture of misinformation and militancy here's a look at what it's like to be on the frontline of the fight to eradicate polio. goannas shirazi is a woman on a mission her goal to rid korat she and her country of a potentially deadly infectious disease. on the back of the motorbike shirazi
