but we begin with reporter elizabeth hur live in new york city. elizabeth? >> we just got an update from police. they say their primary suspect, the 28-year-old was just in courts and so far charged with murder. but they say more charges are coming. they say they still have a lot of questions but they are certain this was a hate crime. >> the terror attack that rocked new zealand, authority say was motivated by hate. >> we reject and condemn you. >> the prime minister condemning the first terror attack with police alleging one suspect in custody had written lengthy anti-immigrant statements online. the discovery made after two mosques miles apart came under attack by at least one gunman targeting muslims attending friday prayers. >> people are running out. i saw some people had blood on their body. >> police responding to calls for help, closing in and ramming this car and taking a suspect

into custody. investigators so far revealing the suspect charged with murder is an australian man who they claim wrote about his white supremacist and racist views. safety experts say violent white supremacist attacks are icause for concern in the u.s. the anti-defamation league says at least 50 people were killed last year alone in extremist violence, including 11 at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. >> in part, this increase in violence is fueled by social media and in part it's also fueled by the racist rhetoric that has become too common in our mainstream political discour discourse. >> despite the white house calling it a terrorist attack, muslim leaders are urging the president himself to label this as a hate crime. >> mr. trump, your words matter. you should condemn this, not only as a hate crime but as a white supremacist terrorist attack. >> and late this afternoon,

president trump did call this a monstrous terrorist attack and he says the u.s. stands by zealand. we're live in new york, i'm elizabeth hur for abc 7 news. >> larry. >> elizabeth, let's follow along this course. president trump weighed in on the topic of white nationalism and whether he thought this was a growing concern. >> that's right. he was asked that question and he said he didn't think so. adding that in his view this was a problem contained to just a small group of people and the prime minister in new zealand said she disagrees. larry? >> elizabeth hur, live in new york, thank you. abc 7 news spoke to the council on american islamic relations today. >> they're shocked, and they're very resilient. they've spoken about the fact they're going to show up the spaces, the mosques to pray and come together in solidarity. we urge the community to come out, not to panic.

we have a community safety guide for mosques and community centers to look at and to consider security measures. >> despit procedures in place to recognize and remove violent videos, facebook learned of the live stream from police. >> abc 7 news reporter david louie looks at how well software and u mans can prevent violent video from going viral. david? >>ama and larry, the violent video was shown live on facebook. facebook says it has teams across the company blocking con at the present time which violates its standards. however, neither artificial intelligence or humans seem to have detected what was being live streamed from new zealand. >> facebook tweeted it was police who alerted the social network of the live stream. >> that tells me nobody is at home, right? the engine is going down the tracks and there's no engineer athe helm. >> the video, which we are not showing, was taken down. facebook did not say how quickly it went viral. the way violent con at the

present time spreads on social media and shares and posted, alarms this parent of two. >> all the social mia organizations should be responsible to make sure that these videos should not go viral for the young minds and brains. >> sky 7 was providing live coverage as a ups truck was commandeered. the live feed was stopped when it appeared the situation could lead to violence snipe that's an example by human intervention, pressing a button can keep that video from going out. is there a better solution. >> facebook google and youtube told us they're using artificial intelligence to help identify violent video along with human monitoring numbering in the thousands. a.i. expert founder and ceo of kind i says a.i. reliability is not perfected. >> it takes explicit images for the a.i. to trigger on it around decide it's graphic con at the present time. as people, we can pick up on the subtleties and understand

something bad is happening here. >> facebook removed over a quarter million videos and those promoting violence. however, the videos can get reposted and go undetected by capturing and manipulating the video to trick humans and a.i. now, facebook says that it's using technology, including audio analysis to detect if anyone is trying to repost that violent video on its platform. critics say facebook's response is reactive, not proactive. coming up at 6:00, we'll hear about a call to incorporate ethics into social platform company values. we're live in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. david, thank you. senior news editor is with us today. thanks for coming in. >> my pleasure. you had mentioned to me before we started the newscast that the live stream went for 17 minutes before facebook took it down and that only came of after the new zealand police contacted

facebook. that seems like an extraordinarily long time. >> that's why facebook and the other social media sites are under criticism today. they have spent money to try to solve this problem, taking down messages and images and videos that are violent or offensive or the work of terrorists. they have hired thousands of people. but 17 minutes and then only to be alerted by the police? then, of course, once that alert happened, facebook stopped it, bup then people were able to download that video. once that happens, it can be shared and shared and reshared. we've seen that in the past 24 hours. th sites are trying to take it down. as fast as they take it down, each more pop up. it's being copied and multiplied. >> talk a little bit about the responsibility that you think these companies have for these videos and images as they become shared online. >> this is a conversation that has been going on in tech now! for the past few years. just back in 2016, if you remember, mark zuckerberg was

talking about facebook as a platform to share information but not necessarily to moderate their content. what is their responsibility in terms of what is being posted on their site or facebook, twitter, google and that conversation now is changing. because these platforms are so widely used, because the online wrld literally bleeds into the real world where these manifestos and actions turn into someone taking a real-world action. so the responsibilities of these sites is start to go change, which is why so many are brought before congress last year, not just for interference in elections but because of the proliferation of violent images or terrorist images. but what are they doing about it? the fact that it was an epic fail on the part of facebook, i don't think anyone can say, wow, that was a miss. it's only going to ratchet up th discussion about this and the desire for not only users but possibly legislators to try to intervene and force them to

take more immediate action. what could they have done? they have algorithms and a.i.s. they need to be developed. people have talked about the broadcast rule, right, where you have a tape delay, if you will. before something is shown so that you have time to take a look at it. maybe not seconds, perhaps minutes. one of the new zealand legislators said once this went out and was viral, perhaps youtube with over a billion followers and a lot of the video was reposted, should have stopped all uploads until they figured out how to catch it. it's a willingness on the part of the companies to want to be as proactive as possible when these things happen. there's an intention, the platforms were designed to allow you to share this kind of stuff. they're calling the conundrum. they've created a monster. >> in defense of facebook, if you have 2 billion accounts, it's hard to monitor them simultaneously. no matter how many you hire.

>> facebook made $22 billion last year. >> they can afford it. >> i think so. >> thanks for coming in. >> stay with us as we stay on top of this breaking news. we'll bring you the latest on abc7news.com and the abc 7 news app. be sure to enable the push alerts to get updates as new information comes in. we now move to that college cheating scandal that has people talking. there's a connection to cal. >> abc 7 news anchor kristen sze live in the newsroom with details. >> larry and ama, usc is my alma mater er. a former canadian football player caught in the cheating scandal. his son went to uc berkeley. david sidoo is accused of paying money for a proctor to take the s.a.t. for his sons. his younger son was admitted to cal in 2014 where he joined the rowing program. he has since graduated. david sidoo is charged with

conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud. he appeared in federal court in boston today and was released on a $1.5 million secured bond. neither of his sons was named in the indictment. >> we're going to address all the allegations in court. we're happy to be in a great court like the united states district court for boston. we look forward to our day in court. >> david sidoo taken leave from two canadian companies of which he was ceo. this is the first allegation lipgd to uc berkeley. dozens of parents are charged in the scam to get children into other elite universities, including stanford, yale, georgetown, wake forest and the university of texas. uc president janet napolitano issued this statement. if the allegations are proven true are a disservice to the hard working and accomplished students and alumni who earned their place at the university

coliseum authority opened of the way for the silver and black to move back into their home and fans couldn't be happier. >> keep it here in oakland, right? >> i am a happy camper. the tailgate parties are fun even if we don't always go to the games. >> i want them to stay. >> the authority okayed a one-year deal for the upcoming season with rent of $6,975,000. that's $4 million more than last year and they have an option of a second year at $9,975,000. they'll also fay a $750,000 fee to settle a dispute over parking. the team tried to find a new temporary home after the city of oakland slapped them and the nfl with an anti-trust lawsuit over their plan to permanently relocate to las vegas. owner mark davis found out that football stadiums are in short supply. >> they went and did their window shopping and they found out what they had here was still a pretty good deal. >> the deal must still be approved by the oakland city

council and alameda county supervisors. it's expected to pass. but one councilwoman said the anti-trust suit will continue and that he'll be watching carefully to make sure the raiders aren't making empty promises. >> now they're going to -- pay for their training facilities. they won't even pay the rent. >> reporter: referring to the disputed $56 million that the government say the team owes. the team says not so fast. but once again, this has to be approved by the oakland city council and the alameda county board of supervisors. but since the team couldn't find anyplace else to play, yeah, it's probably going to happen. live at the oakland coliseum, eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> eric, thank you. we broke the story on february 8th that the raiders and the coliseum started talking about a new lease. before that, the team held discussions with the giants about possibly playing in san francisco at oracle park.

the 49ers refused to concede territorial rights. there are reports that the raiders had been approached by officials in san diego, tucson, san antonio or even birmingham, alabama to play there in 2019. none of those made any sense. the ordeal began on december 11th when the city of oakland filed that apt trust lawsuit against the raiders and the nfl and its owners over the team's upcoming move to las vegas. the raiders announced they would not sign a lease to play at the coliseum in 2019 as a result of that lawsuit. the new lease deal, though, does not impact the lawsuit in any way. one other sports note to tell you about. the warriors have a big game tomorrow. abc 7 will have the first-ever live broadcast from inside the chase center. future home of the team. toyota after the game, our crew will take you inside the new arena after the primetime matchup with the oklahoma city thunder. tipoff is at 5:30. the post game show should begin around 8:00. hope to see you then. although all boeing 737 max
