climate crisis . thank you for joining us here on my from paris. we start with the tragic news from new zealand city of christchurch is friday were at least forty nine pepeople were killeded in mass shohootings. at two mosques. according to authorities this was a carefully planned and unprecedented terror attacack. e that has shocked the usually peaceful nation. israeli in born suspect wrote in the manifesto. he supported donald trump as a symbol of renewed white identit.

that set now listen to one of the eyewitnesses to not attack. on friday. it started in the main room -- because of the shorter must have come through the whole movie. and i was in the sidee room so i didid not see w w was shooting - but ease so that through my a thee through my room when i was in and also i saw some people let had reliedd on their ability in some people really are limping. bad debt moment d day noo idea e that it was a r really seriousu. it wenent on and w wrote -- six many t to a mall in - -- but i could hear screamingng and crying and use so some people that are you know drop dead.

now what for analysis on the story let's not bring in david day cambodian associate research chats assumes full thahank you very much for being with us a pleasure i think the b big question the way hearing oscar at this friday is how was dismissed because of cool serra many accounts. at observations that at least. the suspect was domestically radicalize that he had several weapons how how was this miss. well the choose new zealand rather than australia because some of the principles main subjects a suspectct is ann australian. who was characterized by the prime and the extreme right he choose use it in peak because first of all the laws on position of weapons much? mole easier than you know straight or that much more lax internal australia. and second he chose christchurch because it's part of the the narrative it's it appears in he's. in he's a manifesto this was the first possible place one could be in the world. and to show the the the the muslim invasion has even reach christchurch.

we're talking about a muslim invasion but of course -- at we also know that the suspect in this attack claimed inspiration from the norwegian mass metara that's right andre predicate suggested that the pad had been in. brief contact that's another question is that a cause for concern here about the intelligence that is exchanged a the previous terrorists. and i connections i think there is -- i i think that the intelligence service both in -- straighter and in new zealand being from all concerned and worldwide with islamic radicals. and the ready because of the extreme right of sort of going under the radar so to speaeak in terms of of surveillance. so there is that element -- and the navy in the end [inaudible] to i place it invented the welfare state along with its scanandinavians the beginning of the twentieth centuryry sees itself as an open tolerant society. so -- yes --

there is either a paralegal -- in terms of the shock also for these two societies norway and the new zealand. who see themselves as open tolerant -- easy growing subsided to societies and the now find themselves victims of such an attack. was this friday reactions been pouring in from across the globe not least from the us president donald trump. and and i think the big question that many are asking is canada's hot like this have an impact on little tron given that. he was dubbed the symbol avon quote renewed white identity by the suspect himself and of course we've seen a rise of at and t.. at islam at movement suddenly in the us and a lot of racism at gaining traction across the globe since summer from came intoto power. well you know in australia we were -- this's existed before the kobe - industry has a long h history of of off racism. going back to the nineteenth century -- those who -- yes he does feeding --

to and it's it's your trump is given a kind of sort of camouflage or at least a sort of moral kind of support for these sorts of of of actions. and did but i think is a direct link i mean the the the with the author of the attack seems will serve to talked about marine le pen -- and the defensive european civilization that's again the parallel with water could in no way t ts defenense off your european civilization. against the the ottomans were against the the the the the the muslims of course i beg the question whether. is it this this attack as proof of white supremacy is in fact an international terrorist threat in this day and age and david thing kelly thank you very much for being with us for that analysis. at now at let's that move on to the you the time to use a national emergency declaration. to obtain funds to build a wall along the us border with mexico. the president says he wants a role to prevent immigrants from

crossing into the united states. democrats tonight this is a match is a national emergency on friday the president said. now sympathy for republicans who voted for the resolution for more let's set now crossed white house correspondents at philip crawley he's upstanding by. in washington dc phillips thank. for being with us we've already heard of course from the us president what did he have to say for r himself. for the readr was signed a three fifty eastern time here in washington the first have the veto from. president donald trurump and wht he did inn the oval office event a very long one too with a lot of people standing by his side by the way but more on that in a moment. what he e did was he defended hs decision to issue an emergency declaration -- that emergency declaration eased up funds from the pentagon for him to be able to build that long promised wall on the border between mexico and the united states so what we heard from the

president -- just a few minutes ago was the t. again -- said that there was an actual emergency on the border between mexico and the united states he says there is an invasion of illegal immigrants and call that resolution that passed through the senate yesterday with twelve republican votes. a reckless resolution he of course will remember exactly who those republican senators were who went against one of his biggest campaign promises. i said earlier the president said i had quite a few sign this veto surrounded by a law enforcement officials sheriffs for example also -- by parents all of children who had been killed by illegal immigrants. these are people that the president has invited many times to the whitete housese t to shoo is with him when it comes to building this wall the people who want him to keep that. a campaign promise so the president very much sticking to his guns and what this means

right now is in theory. that he does get that money those three point six billion dollars that his emergency declaration would have given him to build that wall in theory he now gets them but this story isn't over just yet. hello the story is a native of had a lot of to ing and fro ing of course. what can we expect next? well the next thing i think you'll see up on capitol hill is going to be a vote in the house of representatives which of course now is. headed by democrats again and that will be a vote to stop and ovoverride that veto another problem that the democrats as they need -- pretty handsome majority in the house of representatives to be able to undo this very first veto of donald trump's presidency they are unlikely to get thohose v votes because they would need a loft of republican. to come on boardrd so t tt's wht we'll see o on the c congressiol level but it's more likely the more likely source of this

emergency declaration being stopped all over again. that would come from the couours because there are several state. on the border between the united states and mexico and some private landowners ole so who will be going to court to us saying that this emergency declaration is illegal that they count the badlands company used. to build a wall between mexico and the united states again the story isn't over just yet but the president has now signed his first ever feature. and i promise thank you for that update we've just had the attacks in new zealand that white nationalism is not indeed. a widespread us right we'll be bringing you more on that story make sure the program. thanks that to algeria and fourth consecutive fridayy proteststs this as the oppositin movement continues to gather momentum in an apparent rejection. of the government's plans for a gradual state led transition meanwhile algeria's. ruling asselin kanji is showing

signs of turning its back on president abdelaziz to freak ou. now at this friday. tens. of the thoususands o of school children around the world. books out of the classrooms this in a global strike to protest against. government inaction on climate change the movement was present in over a hundred and twenty countries. from new delhi to here in paris to washington dc and it all started last year. the sixteen year old swedish crime active is granted to let. him protesting outside upon him and he is a great down this reporting for us from the french capital. a massive turnout here in paris with students skipping class but for a good reason coming out to call on leaders to do more to curbing climate change is part of what is now i used. global climate change movement of course they've been inspired by the swedish teenage at great to some but who has been

protesting solo outside slash yeah. many say that these youth movement is in fact the best news for the planet since that simple and straightforward message is in many ways cutting through in a way that scientists and engineers have found difficult. in recent years some research in science tells us that there is not much more time before the planet is at a point of no return and the youth here i'm not willing to let a lead is losing any more precious moment. many of them will be back here in central paris tomorrow this time with their parents for a march that will include all members of the community. nine a i spoke to international says that it's a home and children let's listen back to his analysis. focuses on only young people but you've got leads so parents grandparents but clearly the focus is on those people who ar. actually many of them not even voting age and this is something that keeps coming out -- in the sort of vox p pops which will bring you in a second this idea that --

they bought some some of them don't even believe that politics can actually change things but those who still have some kind of belief in politics they can't even vote yet -- so it's about really drawing attention to what's happening to the planet i'm trying to do something about it now rather than waiting for somebody else to do it on their behalf. let's take a listen now to to students and parents from the british school and they were interviewed by all environment correspondent a few hours ago -- well i come out here and let myself be heard and to influence other to do the same. i feel that we need to take action because we can't rely on people to provide our own future for us. many would say that you're too young you're fifteen years old you're too young to have a voice in elections is this your only way of being. that's exactly that we don't have any other options and if we feel that there isn't. sufficient action. for what is

happening. then this is ourur i would just listen to some of those -- comments from the protests as idea. i'm a big thing the big question on lex's -- is this movement in anyway helping the green party at which is of course contesting the european elections are coming up in may. yeah absolutely because the green parties of course being campaigning on these very issues and the green party kind of really -- stood. side by side with citizens movements and ngos during the paris climate change two weeks in twenty fifteen to say -- you know the goals set i'm not ambitious enough the calendar is an ambitious enough -- and at the toll gets a basically off i'm so the green party kind of sees itself as acts on it in a way the traditional -- political bubble and it obviously -- identifies with these young people say how the greens actually doing in the european election campaign let's bring you a graphic. all of a an opinion poll from

eiffel -- which is a french institution this survey -- from this thursday we just one poll it's still early days a lot of undecided vases according to i thought. but anywayy you've got -- the greens actually in fourth place that with eight point 5%. behihind the cononservative paro clearly a much bigger - -- sort of slice of a m much much bigger share of the vote potentially for them then in. national elections in france -- sickly that hoping to capitalize on this movement and the issues that have been. brought into the limelight handing so the greens hoping for a green search and european parliamentary elections as we've seen in scattered places around europe in bavaria. in belgium and luxembourg so clearly that hoping that things will change -- the european parliament we'll

we'll have a different make happen will actually be able to do something -- about some of these issues. same with the times story of course is friday nations commmmitted to significicantlyy reduce single use classics of the next decade. decoration came off the marathon talks in nairobi d dumped the climate one planet summit attended by number of wealthy i. less optimistic note however. the twins major global warming and none. too the fossil feels that drive it. now here in france the government has repatriated five young children of islamic state fighters. from northern syria describing them as vulnerable fins. according to the foreign ministry the children aged five on to a wet flown home in ministry and crossed and placed on the medical supervision meanwhile. authorities will say said that that position regarding french jihadists in syria of adult age
