consecutive weekends. thanks for joining us i'm mary in evanston. less than twenty four hours after the mass shootings at two mosques in new zealand the suspected gunman has appeared in court and has been charged with murder the twenty eight year old australian man brenton a terror and was remanded without a plea until his next court appearance which is scheduled for april fifth use elance prime minister just send to our town has promised the country is gun laws will change in light of the attack she's been a reassuring muslim community leaders in christ church meeting personally with them the attack left forty nine people dead and many more dozens injured. it's new zealand's worst ever peacetime mass killing and the community of christ church is

struggling to process the events they were supposed to be safe in a country that prides itself on being welcoming and inclusive but the massacres at two of their places of worship have stunned the people of christchurch it really hit home because i used to go to that mosque i used to play for used to hang out there with my friends and stop so seeing that something like this is how it was to them there were you know we we fought islamophobia and racism and xenophobia is something just something to happen in america happening but it's here and it is dangerous this center is providing information and psychological support to friends and relatives who still don't know the fate of their loved ones. matt is one of those awaiting news she says the attacks will change new zealand forever. i think which in turn is the intelligence gathering to be. more spit on the focus in only

one community and this is and i believe these are some secluded down to the bone the authorities here are still on high alert this is one of the two mosques where dozens were murdered as they met to pray on friday afternoon. as you can see the area has been heavily cordoned off and authorities have warned other mosques to keep their doors closed as investigations are under way but you can also see from the number of people here how deeply this is upset the local community in a city that is usually a quiet and peaceful place i spoke to people who told me they cried all night unable to believe that something like this could happen in new zealand. but a police warning for people to stay inside couldn't keep these residents of christ church from paying their respects to the muslim victims at a makeshift memorial. concert will hear you. and probably from the muslim community even the better roads i hear about we want to. show that we support them

this is a city where people stand to get there we've been treated like stay there like this just i'm just feel so far from the city that i know today christ church is in mourning and doubling down on its values as a multicultural society. let's get the latest now from new zealand and for that we're joined by journalist peter mckenzie who is in the capital wellington hello to you peter so it's an unspeakably horrific attack how is the country coping a day later. the only reaction. to the station it was just a really struggling to understand what this means for a country and to really understand the nature of the events that just use today as it's a really troubling time to the country well and specially in light of the fact that new zealand is known as a very peaceful place

a very open place it's also quite small just five million people live in new zealand just how widespread is racism in the country. well you totally right this is a smaller a peace loving country and that's the reason why we were targeted. explicitly stated that he wanted to make a big a stash splash by targeting a country that has a strong record of of safety and peace with us and that's what makes that all the more despicable the attack really shows that our vision of ourselves as a peace loving country has really obscured growing as a lot of folks in pockets of new zealand and that's really come out in the schools running to him there's been commentary from our race relations commission discussing just the deeply ingrained islamophobia as people of muslim people who are muslim have to suffer on a daily basis here in new zealand and that's something that you don't is really going to have to confront over the coming days and wait. well it's said that the

high number of casualties was a result of the type of weapons that were used in this attack and now the prime minister of new zealand says she's looking at actually tightening gun control laws what needs to happen. well the last time i got lost was significantly strengthened it was in the aftermath of the last major mass shooting in new zealand which was nine hundred ninety one and while i'm asking and since the. changes are gone most of the states that so at the moment we don't have a registry of all the different foreign success new zealand i get really quite difficult tracking those. who owns walks and we also are allowed the position of some senor magic we're going to switch with some small modifications and be turned into the kinds of weapons that the shooter used in that horrific massacre so those are the two kind of main issues that look like they're on the table for example homecoming breaks and a prime minister

a signal that she's came to look into this issue senior policymakers have expressed a lot of even us and the police minister has a record of engaging in this issue and pushing people to form so it really looks like. journalists peter mckenzie talking to us from new zealand capital wellington thanks for your reporting. well let's talk a bit more now about the main suspect in the new zealand attack and to try and understand his motives for that i'm joined by rafael buss song he's an expert on terrorism and crisis management at the german institute for international security affairs rafael thanks for being here so what can you tell us about the background of the main suspect brant terrence and his possible motives well that's known so far is that he describes himself as a straightforward working class man who didn't go to university apparently she worked as a fitness trainer but that's basically it and i think we have to give some time to

the investigation of the court case to unveil more about his real back or whether there was a particular personal crisis or other event that pushed him towards this extremism well one of the things that was mentioned by the prime minister of new zealand was that this man had traveled around the world do we know if he had any links to white supremacist or far right movements elsewhere well it is only going to fester and these are the things that we have to go on but that's of course something that we first have to test whether it's true so in his own money fast so he talks about having traveled to europe in the mid two thousand and ten this and that having influenced him particularly going to france i also saw that there is are apparently now some hint that he might have been in the balkans where there's also a trench extremist scene and also his weapons were sort of engraved writings referring to battles in the balkans and some of this kind of right wing network so this is credible but again that's needs to be corroborated by an independent

investigation and for that we need some time well you know in the wake of horrible attacks like this i think there's often this desire on the part of the public to do something to take some sort of action now we're hearing talk of perhaps changing gun laws in new zealand from the kind of security management perspective would that . would that prevent future attacks such as this where there is no full security or guarantee against attacks so changing gun laws now may not be the solution to everything but in principle yes it is always a good thing from a terrorist counterterrorist perspective to restrict the access to weapons it has to be said actually that apparently the perpetrator and to spate of this actually hopes that this will create create a counter-movement a peak in the u.s. so it's a kind of a strange game off what the attacker really wants but i think the more important thing here is now to really realize that that's the more the biggest thing not just

because even the right wing terrorism is a strategic threat and that we really need to reorient more resources from jihadist terrorism which remains very serious also to that transnational threat all right rafael but some from the german institute for international and security affairs thank you for that. well let's get you up to speed now and some of the other stories making news around the world in albania supporters of the center right democratic party have clashed with police while trying to storm parliament opposition lawmakers have given up their seats in parliament they refused to engage in dialogue with the socialist prime minister at the rama and are asking for a transitional cabinet with out him to prepare for the elections. iraqi authorities and u.n. investigators have started to examine hundreds of bodies of the families from a mass grave near the northwestern village of course show many of the deceased were killed by the so-called islamic state in two thousand and fourteen nobel peace
