you. too must insist he is one of the things he lives with. clearly what has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented think of violence a man in his late twenty's has been charged with murder after what authorities are calling a well planned terrorist attack. on the program britain's parliament votes to put

the brakes full on breaks a law makers forced the government to ask for a three month delay to the start of britain's departure from the european union but will the e.u. say yes. and as thousands of children skip school around the world for the fridays for future climate protection movement we go to downtown berlin to hear what german kids want the government to do about global warming. hello i'm terry martin and welcome to the program we begin in new zealand where almost fifty worshippers have been killed in mass shootings at two lost in the city of christchurch prime minister just send has called it an act of terror here's what we know so far forty nine people are dead and dozens have been seriously. injured

two mosques were targeted during the attack which came during friday prayers three people are in police custody police found explosive devices in cars in the city the main suspect is an australian citizen with a history of right wing extremism and he broadcast the first attack live on the internet police have charged a man in his twenty's with murder and he will appear in court on saturday world leaders have joined in condemning the attack in a place where gun ballance is relatively rare. new zealand now a country on edge. price chart a city on lockdown. health officials have activated mosque casualty plans. the carnage unfolded at the busiest of times on the biggest mosque in the country worshipers at friday prayers described a man dressed in military fatigues and armed for mass murder and he have had enough and he's given that got this and he said the race of the military and he's begun

machine gun of m. sixteen put out one and it's. another to get a gun. and that he bust a what they're doing and not took me here looking i'm not the weak he's tough in the guards at all it is tough to be a shootin it's we hide behind. them. to they're fighting to try to. jump the fence. next host to the mosque on this side. fighting with. 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 suspects of the coast 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. dr are filmed the moment police got the man believed to be the terror suspect his car forced off the rule 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 deal. 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. prime minister just in and doing he described this as a terrorist attack she says none of the s.p. that are currently in custody or entitle. free actual additional subs. at any and not that there's nothing for the police here apparently. much of the. new zealand is on high alert how are security and emergency services dealing with the situation. as the whole country's very much on alert security. services have advised unmask who was there. a police presence in masks throughout the country and. there's also been you know just even ones on high alert there were there was the response to bond's gear up in the land area and another

city in the new lot islands and it just shows how on earth our needs into an alert people are really a country that wasn't thought to be now related to the question which incidents of birth and it just shows that everyone from the eighteenth and on high alert in their place have really mobilized the people there 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. kind of home studies and shark it really isn't shark. these is just absolutely unbelievable that this could happen here and the whole city you know what was on lockdown really worked for quite a few hours. the children were loudly it's gone. to the hospital and our. buildings in the central city you will sense make their way home and most people i would

imagine are just keeping their eyes on market named after a media and just expressed the air absolute shock and dismay that something like this could happen here in new zealand 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. about one percent of the population so for a small community quite 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 sharp that this community has

been targeted here. a minister was. going much trying to entice us. this this isn't new zealand this isn't what new zealand and people are about and you will see a saying who really am 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 kind of memes behind as a text don't belong in new zealand is that was that a 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 has emerged that one of the suspects in custody in connection with the mosque shootings is australian war and let's cross over now to roger maynard

a journalist who joins us from sydney australia roger the australian prime minister has since confirmed that one of those under arrest is from australia what we know about him we know he is twenty eight years old he comes from a liril town of ruston any northern use of wells was a system of three hundred miles north of sydney and he's been the you know he was living there up until a few years ago working at a local gym apparently where the gym operator said there was no indication of him being a radical islam look some of the equal or in any way reactionary so it's all a bit of a surprise really either this is happened he went away in twenty eleven he said he was going to travel for a couple of years and he clearly ended up in new zealand and one of the happened to him along the way as always he turned his mind and he was joined up with other radicals on this particular occasion to carry out this terrible attack but he was

the man we believe actually filmed the footage gooding to be the last in christ church today that terrifying footage which has itself although it hasn't been shown anywhere on the television as i understand it and he he you know he then turned the camera on his own face when he was driving to the mosque to identify themselves you know his clearly he wanted his moment of fame if you like and he he's now in police custody of course please be charged with murder now is truly and government officials have been commenting on these attacks so what have they been saying. well there are so prime minister of scott morrison has been quite vocal about it he described turned as a radical violent right wing extremist terrorist he muslim was the cause of the mention the word terrorism in this whole sorry sorry saga and he can see that it

was a terrorist act nervous is the word he says i'm appalled and sickened by what happened today was going very close relationship jail straight in new zealand and the fact that the australian has been involved in the. terrorist attack is is a great embarrassment to the australians in many ways but you know it's a sad indictment i suppose that this is the sort of thing that happens today so the australian suspect is described as a rightwing extremist tell us about right wing extremist movements in australia and new zealand how influential are they. well look there's always been a perception that the australian bush the countryside the rural areas have a right wing tendency but no more so than many other countries where there's a strong sense of national identity and national culture and a desire to hold on to that and certainly we've seen the rise of a certain you perceive reactionary

a right wing part is over the past ten or twenty years it was the the the formation of the one nation like you founded by pauline hanson who was famous for the dress in the issue of asian immigration in australia and you know on the other hand we've seen a fair bit of islamophobia in australia too in recent years partly in the wake of the terrorist attacks muslim terrorist attacks carried out you know australia in recent years so whether terran was influenced by by these attacks in any way or water but we just don't know but in the hopefully we'll get more of a sense of what actually happened what is thinking was in the days and weeks ahead roger thank you so much for your insights roger maynard there a journalist in sydney australia for. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today algerians have taken to the streets for more protests against longtime president abilities

do or you many good to have 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 theater 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 an absurd mistake sudden stake but it's no question about i my mind i'm astounded absolutely stunned by what's going on think it's a complete shambles cayle says so much fun this well politics should be no one

a thousand cities where schoolchildren planned protests against grown up in action on climate change sparked in part by swedish sixteen year old greta to unbearable. like she is the only one who took initiative in sudan and because of you got to know about this. benefits only the children were joined by some with a few more years of breathing delis infamous smaug sometimes described as deadly older protesters have all but given up on their own generation are looking to the next for a solution. no the to me come forward it's for them it's their future we have ruined it for them and i have no hope from our generation also i mean even the forget the government even citizens. in hong kong the young generation borrowed chance from the old making their point clear act on climate change now deny the deniers they said. in berlin young people were practically

bouncing off walls intrigues students mostly and parent teacher or adult activist thrilled to be out of their normal friday routine and they hoped making a difference. finally where it all started great to herself was on stage in stockholm but not the center of it all she has said time and again the issue is the climate not the young woman who started a movement. our very own kate brady is hold the streets of berlin where students have gathered for the global climate action large shut case 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 not. as big as you might feel to see and hear behind me at teri the the military says only one full of high spirits but there's also a sense of frustration here as well from the students who as you say ah sit in

school and calling for action against climate change and their frustration is the older generations and of course most of all of those politicians who are currently in power 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 the specifically to germany would have the big issues for students here is the phase out of coal fired energy and at the moment the. a german government plans to phase out coal fired energy by twenty thirty of these today 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 does 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 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 they are been casing the streets across germany not just here in berlin 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 there's an estimated ten thousand school kids out on the streets today here in the berlin alone and i think while those numbers continue to increase we will certainly see some momentum 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 kate brady out on the streets of berlin take you so much. polio is a virus that mainly affects children under the age of five pakistan is one of just three countries in the world it has yet to be declared polio free authorities there have launched a fresh back summation drive to fight a rise in cases but it least seventy health workers have been killed since december two thousand and twelve through a mixture of misinformation and militancy we have this report on those at the forefront of the fight to eradicate polio. is the woman on a mission. to rid to karachi and her country of a potentially deadly infectious disease. on the back of the motorbike shirazi

actions of the cia and twenty eleven the agency orchestrated a vaccination program in pakistan to track down osama bin laden the campaign was much criticized and it still used by militants to fuel anti-vaccination sentiment. has been linked to the. stalled the it will be linking back to the. group was initially picked up by the cool your team so that. particular. group which. this was a forum with. distrust of vaccines also has other reasons one is the belief that the polio jab can cause infertility in young girls attract back to a claim by in nigeria and fundamentalist doctrine that the world health organization was covertly spreading anti fertility drugs through its vaccines. the

united nations and the nigerian government has dismissed the allegation but the rumors persist. pakistan's government has recognised that polio workers are in need of protection. police officers are scorching polio workers in the field. we also have police personnel on call so they can respond quickly in an emergency situation. but police escorts have also come under attack in the past in the current climate there's simply no way to fully guarantee the safety of pakistan's polio workers nevertheless shirazi mr time and to carry on. and the death of my family members has given me courage. i will continue working until pakistan is polio free.
