9:30 pm
this is not the kind of freedom that any. how did you become a deep way to islamist terror. you see sarah connor mustn't ask herself. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. philippines in the sense of bias starts april eleventh on. the mosque massacres in new zealand and australian man is charged in what has become the deadliest terror attack to ever take place in the country police say with those small camera attached on his head a live connection to facebook and a semi-automatic rifle in his hand he had all the tools he needed to kill and ensure that he have a live audience watching. this is the day. that
9:31 pm
i'm telling you is that this is trojan horse ideology this was a terrorist attack on innocent men women and children that literally targeted because the faith they belong to. no action could damage these. spreading we call upon all political leaders to call this attack on innocent civilians an act of terrorism that we feel the rituals all fail and we feel the rituals. others assist as in christ church these are fascists and we have to recognise. also coming up tonight to breaks it means brags that we've heard that slogan many times but after the events in the british parliament this week breaks it may have a different me. i thought. it was just
9:32 pm
a mess i think the government's have a strategy and the strategy is to do nothing to achieve their end. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the darkest hours for new zealand that is how the country's prime minister declared describe the massacres which left dozens of people dead on friday police say at least one man was involved they say he was an australian who allegedly entered a mosque in the city of christ church during friday prayers with a gun and began shooting the same nightmare happened twice at another mosque in the city tonight the investigation is in full throttle at the same time new zealand's leaders are reaching out to the victims their friends and families and a damaged commute. painful. for years and years and years they are offering. a. price at this
9:33 pm
time and i know that i speak for all of the paper one crashes when i say how much we want to come together to support them so we want to give the communities to ensure face. appropriately and and support and give them the time and space that to deal with the and she said hey and we still have paid the hospital. and we understand that the perpetrator in christchurch was motivated by right wing extremism to talk about the judge at the big table by rick know what he's a journalist with the washington post who writes about security issues as well as foreign affairs and you also reported from new zealand for a while i understand that's correct i spend one month there and well just ever so what do we know. as it stands right now what do we know about the suspect or suspects and the motivations what has been. an extreme focus on one suspect and
9:34 pm
that is the man who had a camera on his head while he entered at least one mosque and then shot dozens of people there might be two more suspects whose identity hasn't really been mentioned or clarified yet but what we do know about this one suspect who's you know who was filmed during this attack is dead he is from a stray he moved apparently to new zealand to prepare for an attack and then committed in new zealand we also heard a lot today about a manifesto that he wrote what do we know about that and also help seriously can we take this manifesto well we should take this manifesto differently with a grain of salt and be very careful about how to interpret that because it piers like there are certain references in there that are supposed to mislead the media outlets or investigators to deliberately cause tensions but the manifesto is still
9:35 pm
is quite relevant and interesting because it does provide sort of an indication into his very globalized world view he had and sort of the countries that were on his mind not so much just really where he was apparently from and not so much new zealand either countries like france countries like the united states but he had come here to europe and as i understand it things that he saw in france and sweden he said were reasons that i guess radicalized him what do we know about that well he mentioned one of the victims of the twenty seventeen attack in stockholm that was apparently that name was written on one of the weapons used during this attack so apparently that attack was a striking moment for him that may explain how he radicalized he also in his manifesto describes. incidents in friends and being can. fronted with ideologies
9:36 pm
there that may explain why he came to those leaves but we do understand that those aren't the only countries he traveled to or it's sort of unclear where he did when he said there's so many so many questions that are not answered this evening what will we are hearing that what we're seeing is this man who is a white supremacist is actually using the same arguments the same methods of hate that you would find from al qaida for example and that i heard earlier this evening that almost like a scene b.o.c. is developing between these two big street was to actually try to kill each other. would you agree with that and what can world leaders do then to mitigate against that is really interesting question and when you look at the islamic state propaganda from a few years you know you'll find a lot of references about how they want to create a backlash from those right wing groups white right wing extremist groups essentially provoke what would happened on friday in christ church and and then to
9:37 pm
look at what he's describing in his manifesto or what we think is his manifesto where he essentially takes the same view but just sort of you know pretends it's his invention or he came up with that that is quite striking and we're really witnessing a cycle of violence here that is really hard to break when you have politicians that very much play into dad not not directly by not saying all right this is great this is ok but by. by saying muslims are a problem refugees are problem and that's that's the sort of sentiment that that is really a problem and to spread that sentiment social media is perfect for doing that right and we saw today this one suspect allegedly had a go pro camera on his head and wanted to show the world he knew that he could possibly have a life global audience. watching if that is the case then are these social media
9:38 pm
platforms do you think are they being held to account for their power and their responsibility also in these acts of terrorism well it is difficult i mean you tube and facebook and other platforms have invested into technology to try and sponsor such a continent to take it down they also have criticised you know they have to criticize but from their perspective they have to doing steps they have taken steps to to take there was documents were videos down it is frankly really hard to take them down in certain cases today for instance you saw people uploading them in a crop version or deliberately as a photo that you wouldn't be able to have a machine really recognize it and that does make it hard but certainly there is a point here that those social networks apply for his aren't doing enough you know rick know what i think with the washington post we appreciate your insights tonight ray thank you thanks so much well the terrorist attacks on mosques in new zealand
9:39 pm
bring to mind martin luther king jr's response to white supremacist murders on a house of worship back in one thousand nine hundred sixty three when he declared that the slaughtered did not die in vain and that the victims had something to tell us in their deaths and what about those who experienced events in christ church let's hear now from mohan who was inside the mosque when the shooting started he spoke via skype shortly after reaching safety. well i'm really speechless and i can recall to go again on that area because it's not happened just one most there's a mosque in the area so it was like fifteen minutes of distance in between the mosque and it happens to that mostly as well i'm sorries scared like you know i mean nobody you know it's maybe one of the safest place to live to leave didn't but now i don't know what will happen so he was he worked in his. you when you mean so
9:40 pm
i don't know were the people who are obese people in there or on the street. all the people of those that were inside sort of. we know that the gunman lined street the footage of the massacre on facebook why once again drawing attention to how social media can be exploited by terrorists from georgia you know the big table by didn't use digital reporter i'm sure it's good to see you again so this is this is an explosive topic today because of what has happened with facebook this isn't the first time that facebook live has been implicated in some type of a criminal or terrorist using that platform to broadcast a violent crime why hasn't the company taken more radical action to stop it while facebook already has an aircraft. yet to tackle this as he says a mixture of artificial intelligence and some content moderators to actually identify and take down violent content but the problem with that with today's and
9:41 pm
didn't was that it was a life stream and today's content monitoring algorithm is smart enough to actually automatically recognize violence as it happens in a life street as a human would have had to have seen that and reacted in the end like an algorithm can't or artificial intelligence can see that and recognize it as quickly exactly it needs something it needs a reference to. actually you like it can actually recognize ok it's violence but a full. body conscious stop everything that's going on because like guns it can happen and a movie it can happen and like in a movie trailer and late yes i know that i know that facebook and youtube both say that they took down the video quickly but what is quickly me because i know before we went on the air tonight it's still possible to see this video if you
9:42 pm
search enough on the internet yep it actually has taken out like it actually has taken hours for facebook to actually take this to take the videos down and the problem with that is that it was a life stream video and so the users were actually notified about this on another website on another social media site and so they were prepared and so when the live stream actually happened so they recorded it and spread it and so after that original video was taken down. the video got a real date again and again facebook on twitter on you tube i mean are we seeing here that this is probably the ultimate. for a terrorist knowing that once you line stream something once it's up there and someone has recorded it for example or shared it it's on it's practically impossible then to stop it from being seen by others write it and say what are we
9:43 pm
hearing that from the social media platforms is that type of honesty being given to the public or are we hearing more talk about artificial intelligence in the promise of algorithms yet while of course there are. artificial intelligence like taking like working on this but as i've said it is pretty much impossible for them to actually take off every kind of content. and so. and actually in this case you. we're actually able to move content across platforms just much that. react yeah yeah and then the platforms can react and maybe even more humans need to be a part of the equation they are wondering leave as always thank you. well it has been a strange week for anyone reporting on britain's struggle with itself to leave the european union that process known as breck's it and as we were pondering today how
9:44 pm
to best illustrate the political drama and desperation of this week the artist salvador dali came to mind but he must have seen the future mr dali his painting take a look persistence of memory captures the state of breaks it tonight a surreal desert landscape where time itself is warped a world in which strange and surreal replaced normal and authentic and if you look closely the woman in the painting she even looks like a caricature of bridge prime minister to resign may. in six weeks the u.k. is scheduled believe it or not to leave the european union and almost three years since brights it was given the green light by voters parliament and the government see nothing but red there is no plan for how to leap this week. again rejected teresa mayes plan and in desperation agreed to ask the european union for a three month delay to break shit but here is where surreal becomes downright strange next week parliament may vote a third time on teresa mayes plan
9:45 pm
a third time on a plan rejected twice already by unprecedented margins here is a synopsis of what happened this week watch it because it may have been the rehearsal for next week so the bodies have ate the eyes have it so the no use of it the no use private so the eyes have it with no no no no that's wrong no she can meet it we don't we we we never did it for. you could leave with the deal which this government is the case isn't it cost you yes no no no no. we could sleep with the teal we have to give the subject to a second referendum no no no no but that this risk no prexy it's all. just looked at you see is done at the end dickless democracy doesn't this country's just don't think we definitely need telling but we get we take us in front of how the rest of us i mean she no longer has the ability to lead this is
9:46 pm
a rottenness government in the face of a huge national crisis can the prime minister tell us exactly what hook line is now thousands take sides a clear majority against leaving the house a deal however i repeat which i have said this. was. a long time to go. days of a. long time to go you don't know whether to cry or to laugh and you don't know if you should feel guilty doing either the talk about break dance tonight i'm joined by the breaks of political blogger john worth a familiar face to our viewers i mean you know what happened this week how would you describe what we saw in parliament this week we saw palm and fall unity starting to eliminate some options just
9:47 pm
a little bit so to reason may's deal is almost off the table no deal is now almost off the table and delaying brecht's it is going up in terms of its chances of being approved so i think that's the conclusion that we can draw from this week . as your introduction said it is quite an unprecedented situation tears day this week three's maze deal was rejected for the second time by the fourth biggest number of votes in british parliamentary history having been rejected by the biggest number ever back in january and still she thinks it's going to work again next week which is to think is going to work in getting used to resume a stubborn because she has no other option because essentially to accept the brakes were not working or to accept a delay or to accept any other option would be an incredible to feel like the irv you were. hell kid and she force a vote next week on her plan a third time when it's already been rejected twice that that doesn't seem to make
9:48 pm
sense that defies logic but you have to bear in mind that the british parliament. has very flexible procedures so therefore it's within her power we think although there is a technicality that might be used by the speaker to stop it but we think it's there within our power in order to manage bring the deal but the speaker maybe could say speak you could say no but if he did that he would really like britain with a constitutional crisis so chances are he's not going to do that we have to remember is you've got to get to two reason mase motivation you listen to reason may and she says i have understood what the people want i'm going to do that i'm going to see it through and she believes that deeply and in a heartfelt manner so she thinks she's right the people were right in two thousand and sixteen but the members of parliament are wrong when you believe that she believes she knows what the people want she thinks she knows about now if you want
9:49 pm
to even look in opinion polls she doesn't know that public opinion has been changing there is there have been solid majorities for remaining in opinion polls over the last twelve months and if you look at the details the trees amazed at the deals on the table that's actually dislike to me. more than of the bricks varian's so this very idea that theresa may somehow herself symbolizes the views of the british population is strictly speaking north's true also the birth arindam almost three years ago passed with fifty two percent of the vote we're talking we're not talking about a huge margin the prime minister she really speaks about the forty eight percent who wanted to remain in isn't there a huge democracy deficit in the u.k. parliament because those forty eight percent seem to just have no vote we see that these although. there are two components to that question the first is to resume
9:50 pm
a herself as pursued a strategy to appeal needs about fifty two percent is now strategies she could possibly proceed no if it's a try to reach out to the have assigned to try to make a more pragmatic bricks and the problem in parliament is a different one parliament is just split so many ways you've got fifty or sixty hardcore brick city is that what out of what i have now no deal is get away as quick as you can you get some loyalists around trees maybe one head deal you've got the jeremy colby in loyalists in the labor party they want to slightly different breaks it and then you've got maybe one hundred hundred fifty who still want to remain so potent views. don't precisely represent the views of the general population but ultimately the reason there's no progress being made is because they split four ways and you just simply call it on what i can majority of anything will parliament can find consensus just just like the population has really struggled to find consensus on this so take me then to next we've got this extension that they're going to ask the european union for a three month extension. does that make
9:51 pm
a difference if next week this plan by theresa may is passed that there are two ways for thanks rick the first is to resign may's deal is passed in politics on tuesday we think the very does going to be she will then go to brussels on thursday and ask for a three month extension which will be granted because essentially it takes brits in up to just build the european elections everything is relatively simple exact path is clear but that is the less likely path because her chances of getting the deal approved next week as i see it very heavily holds again so what would she do that if it's rejected the third time then just go to brussels not a but we don't know how long now brussels we're going to look we we will give you a delay but we'll only give you a delay if you give us a plan of what you're going to do brussels is tired of this never ending threesome a going off to an emergency meeting going back and forth give us a little bit can you give us something extra on the northern ireland border question brussels is going to essentially send london your label we'll give you
9:52 pm
more time but why why we should we give you extra months if you've not managed to solve it in two and a half years are ready to resume a going to be prime minister a week from now i think there's a chance that she will plan her exit and that's one of the things being talked about also about a week from now new she'll still be a week from the just as it was a week from now she may have said i am willing to go under these criteria because it's one of the things that's being reviewed in the tory policy is if she whipped you probably still you've even it doesn't meet at least not might be a way of increasing the chances of getting a deal through before we run out of time some people have been saying this week that breaks it is the beginning of the end of britain's status as a global power i think when everyone looks at britain at the moment as one of the people in the short film we sort of a moment ago said britain looks ridiculous in the eyes of the world already regardless of what actually happens of brakes whether they see this through or not
9:53 pm
britain has got an enormous amount to rebuild. to do under a new prime minister in the future to improve its role in the world again because it's already taken enormous hate however breaks it in the end goes through it all ok and we've got twenty seconds at the end of the day do you think that breaks it will happen one day you think will be a second. will not happen but not just yet it's going to require a delay for through the end of the period of that delay maybe then a referendum or a new general election and we may still be sitting here at the end of twenty twenty brant without with britain still in europe i mean i feel like it's a broken record and we just can't stop skipping all right john where there's always the thank you and sharing your insights i'm sure we'll see you next week. well thousands of children around the globe skipped school on friday to call and world leaders to do more to combat climate change the student strikes took place in an estimated one hundred countries they are part of the fridays for future movement
