after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do. by the way ways of that slide here. the breaks it saga continues a deeply divided british house of commons can only seem to agree on one thing it doesn't want the u.k. to leave the e.u. without a deal the problem is there isn't
3:31 am
a parliamentary majority on what to do next maybe this was to resumes planned all along breaks it down. the internet was not built for security so we have to take it to a different level and we have to take the new value to this five g. level when you can embed security suite to expose the fears and all they can devise is so that people get straight and they get to they should know we have to come up with new infrastructure this is very important to start thinking positively about the new tools to build a new system. join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport that's knows i'm show business i'll see you then.
3:32 am
welcome back to the program back to our breaking news story forty people have been confirmed killed and forty eight injured in shootings at two mosques and many of the people injured are in a critical condition three suspects and have reportedly in custody and one of them is australian and reportedly live streamed the attack explosive devices were also found defused under two cars the police are warning that people shouldn't assume the danger is over.
3:33 am
it was believed it would. mean that. it would keep close people some of them with it some of them were screaming bloody . with the money. and intent on the world. this is one note for new zealand its darkest days. with me in the studio you've been across this for the last few hours in these numbers are astounding aren't they because they they they've gone give us the latest. we're trying to digest what's going on in new zealand the numbers are indeed go on about forty five minutes ago the press conference of the new zealand prime minister. is wrapped up she confirmed that the number of deaths has gone up to forty people and now we're
3:34 am
hearing from the doctors that there are even more injuries which amounts to at least forty eight injured injuries it appears they are being treated in the hospitals of christ church it is getting closer to the night in that sitting in new zealand and i'm not sure people will be able to sleep there after such a horrendous incident we know that the city was a lockdown as we heard from local reporters it's now over but the taxis are not running the city is deserted that's what the witnesses are saying some flights have been canceled and we know that there are three people in police custody right now from the prime minister we heard that one of them is the offender himself and also two associates but we don't know if there's anyone else out there at large at this point and something else that's really important here are these explosive devices
3:35 am
that were found in diffuse they were attached to the vehicles of the perpetrators right here and hopefully there isn't anything else and hopefully there isn't anyone else at large now who go back to that press conference by the minister she sent out a very strong message from her country to the world also indeed it was a message for her own people. we new zealand. we were not a target because we are a safe. height because we are in on clay for extremism. we would chosen for the very fact that we none of these things. because we represent diversity kindness compassion harm for those who share our values. for those who need it and various values i can assure you will not and cannot be
3:36 am
shaken by this attack you may have chosen us but we actually reject and can deem you. very very strong words and it does you know i'm feeling emotional imagine what the people there lost relatives loved ones and the nation as a whole and she did say it was unprecedented that experienced anything like this before now we go back to the attack to attack almost at the same time. the three of them in custody now we can see that there was an element of planning in that and the prime minister she kind of confirmed about how much i mean it is frightening isn't it she says there's definitely some sort of degree of planning in this but if you look at all the elements of this planning it becomes immediately clear we don't know if the two separate attacks in the mosque were carried out by
3:37 am
one person or by two people but everything we heard from the witnesses suggests that the person was well prepared. or maybe two people he or they were wearing two helmets. helmets some sort of bulletproof vest according to some witnesses some sort of camo flaws outfit definitely the person knew how to use the gun and what's more important we saw from from the screen shots and also from some of the twitter posts of the person who was the ledge attacker names of christian victims of islamist attacks written in white on these guns and also some nazi symbols which diffidently gives us an impression that the person was preparing well in advance for this killing spree in fact and also. i mean when we actually
3:38 am
realized that all of this was life streamed on facebook there was a particular purpose behind this killing spree. this attempt to kill apparently as many people as possible it is shocking i mean one of the things that has come out of this is the fact that the shooter. that what he was doing live stream streamed on facebook and we'll know what the reach is on facebook and the fact that he was out of this before to whoever followed him and that's exactly why the authorities are saying don't share these videos don't share any elements. of the we will show you some screen shots because we're trying to. explain to you what happened there but really. if you look at it it looks like a video game it doesn't look real because whenever you see
3:39 am
a gun in that frame and you see a person running. trying to get scattered all over the mosque whenever you see a person the person just shoots at him you can see the gun and there's blood everywhere these scenes are difficult to describe and perhaps i'm going to stop here and i thought yeah i think we should they have real people in the end now we've heard the same thing coming out you know from people that we've spoken to on the ground. that christ is not the kind of place or new zealand in fact it's not the kind of place that something like this happens it hasn't happened before. we should describe what it would be like to live in really well it's a very quiet city it's not a big one only four hundred thousand habit and not the capital it's on the other are low and the third most populous city of new zealand but in general new zealand is a rather quiet place and. it's had natural disasters the city of christchurch
3:40 am
itself was once devastated by an earthquake but when the prime minister is saying this is one of the darkest days. means that because none of this was ever happened before and this isn't just impress the four new zealand the number of deaths that may rise in fact and even more than forty people possibly hopefully not really makes this one of the worst mass shootings in the history of the world not just new zealand and we hear about things like that unfortunately in the u.s. every once in a while things like that have happened in europe but not this part of the world and this changes this will be written history books of course and this will change the country forever new zealand before this attack and new zealand after this attack are two completely different nations. and it is
3:41 am
a country that's known where people emigrate to them they flee because. of the reasons even more shocking the stands it was a living are in fact very ok we'll leave it there. is famous for keeping across the story things. according to reports one of the suspects is a twenty eight year old australian who streamed the shooting via facebook. we're not joined by al contribute to our money. the coming of the program now new zealand we've heard it on the program we've been covering this is not a place you say segment these kind of incident describe how big a shock this is. and do you know i was personally very surprised for the regarding the location and i was also very surprised by the high number of casualties. you know with this appears to be a well planned attack incidentally according to australian sources who i talked to
3:42 am
before this interview that the australian attack brenton tyrant appears to be a form a straight in sole job now that would explain why he. knew how to use a weapon how he was very good you know between brackets between quotations are using this weapon in a very effective in killing people. you know what this is as i said the big surprise i think the big danger is that this could fuel a very very bitter sort of cycle. you know hatred on both sides what we'll see now what he's what supreme against what others would call muslim extremists so it only i think it feeds into this vicious cycle. at the same time we have to not be that surprised as well because we do have this raw using a white supremacy and then anti muslim anti immigrant. feelings or sentiments in
3:43 am
general with the election of board trump in america trump has used the term radical islamist terror he's associated islam in one way or another with terrorism others have followed the same path we do see similar viewers are writing in places like hungry for example victoria or. strain in figures like pauline hanson as. well so i think wouldn't be that much of a surprise that in fact this attack reminds me of the attack which was carried out by the norwegian. who carried out a similar attack if you recall in norway against immigrants and also against the muslims one fortunately we do have this rise in what we call white supremacy terrorism. that's why that i think is the correct or accurate name a more accurate description which we should give to it yeah i mean the prime
3:44 am
minister she was very clear about new zealand being a nation is a proud nation with over two hundred ethnicities so the shock was very clear coming from the woods that she said she said a country was chosen as an it's an example of multiculturalism diversity and acceptance what do you think about her comments. while i think that you know in addition to those comments those comments of course if you look at the images indian chief seem to be very much. affected there was an emotional touch to her remarks there's no doubt about it but i think what's more important is your chief called the terrorism all call this attack out for what it indeed was a terrorist attack and i think that she should be applauded for that because many others including for example trumpet have rejected labeling white supremacy as for what what it really is which is terrorism and now we have
3:45 am
a western politician calling out to watch soap operas or mo calling out this name it has indeed terrorism and as i said this is a positive development i hope that other western leaders will follow in suit but you know again with the big fear is that what will be asleep to what will be the reaction the cycle of violence and i think that the. a pivotal thing here that people told element is the muslim clerics in the western world i think it's the their turn now to rise up to call on the most of the masses not to behave or not to react in any violent manner in fact the oppressive begun providing. this moment of what i've heard from people in australia for example is that complex are being made with the islamic or muslim clerics in australia to join in to hold vigils and almost to also to reject any violence in any way whatsoever. so we have to see how
3:46 am
this will play out you know when the next few days hopefully it won't lead to count reactions or counter violence because as i said that i think is the most dangerous element you know this because the cycle of violence which could take place yeah i mean you know we have heard about extremist groups he's even first apparently there might be some others and you're talking about the danger of a counterattack almost do you think though. that the attack that we've just seen and that we've been discussing and following for the last few hours do you think it's an isolated case do you think it can be written off. as just a few individuals who are disturbed do you think it's darker than within society that. well i hope it's an isolated case but personally you know i don't think it is an isolated case so i think that
3:47 am
we do have the rise of some organized white racist or white supreme most anti muslim groups this particular attack. bear the hallmarks of something which was a world power planned well organized involving more than one individual not just by the way of the shootings but we also had there as you mentioned the explosive devices which were placed. on the vehicles. generally speaking no i don't think that we have something which is isolated i really hope that i'm mistaken but i presume i expect that this is not something isolated i expect that we are going to have the emergence to witness the emergence of more organized white supremacist anti muslim or racist groups and in the end i think it's just we have a responsibility which has to be placed on the politicians i think we have politicians which have to turn down their anti most of them and. anti
3:48 am
immigrant rhetoric because this rhetoric plea is being used with the i am of attracting voters that was used by trump but it's being used by other politicians in european countries it's been used by people in australia like pauline hanson for example the so i think that these people also bear responsibility in what happened leave the western politicians who try and get votes by using this racist element in order to mobilize people these people who have a. misreading of islam if you would like in a misreading of the immigrants who come to countries most of them just for the sake of seeking a better life. at the new zealand pm jack said the message behind this attack talking about the ideology ideology and rejecting any of these extreme ideologies and violence saying that our country would not be changed by its how do
3:49 am
you think that that it's possible that it won't have a huge impact on new zealand. well up until now all the signs are encouraging i mean are we seeing from what i've read there's a sense of solidarity in general in the country there is condemnation so hopefully it won't have that much of an impact. but you know again we have to go back to the role of the muslim clerics as well the muslim clerics because to new zealand the elsewhere they have to also take now with the appropriate stance the appropriate position condemn ballance in all its forms hopefully it won't be a very big impact but big question i think which will be raised here is how will people dare to go into mosques and pray on friday for example muslims in new zealand would they there go. and participate in friday prayers i think that's the
3:50 am
big question that is where i think we could see the big impact now for example we might see inspection security measures being taken in front of mosques so we could have an impact on the impact on how muslims practice their daily rituals i think that is an area which we might see a big impact on hopefully the impact will be minimal but the with an attack of such magnitude you know there's bound to be you know some last thing we pick russians in one way or another. and with contributor for thanks very much for sharing with us on the program. i think. that of u.s. special operations in africa has admitted that washington and its allies are not winning the war on terror in the region and one country in particular. is paying the price as donald cortez points. you've heard about the us is adventures in
3:51 am
afghanistan iraq libya syria but maybe you didn't know washington's also got involved in the west african country of burke enough so and well it's not going so great i would tell you it's time we are not winning well he seems more optimistic than some of his allies what we fight against we see every day is like a took i don't know what the terrorists won from us for years washington has been fighting that terrorist toxin in bird. faso and like afghanistan terrorist groups in the country are only becoming more active isilon al qaeda splinter groups conducted one hundred thirty seven attacks last year three years ago it was only twelve as a result tens of thousands of people have fled their homes and over a million require aid the un is calling it a humanitarian emergency and the government knows it has a problem so far the consequences are terrible schools and health clinics are closed people have fled it's become
3:52 am
a no man's land washington solution has been military presence and money france has also brought armed forces into its former colony its airstrikes regularly act on behalf of the government to deal with militant attacks you some. today we are militarily engaged in the whole region through the bar come force it's all responsibility to do it because these are friendly countries and because we are all targeted by terrorism which creates a common cause and which we are today deeply engaged there stay in the country hasn't exactly treated the french well though last year the embassy was attacked by militants. but human rights groups are saying the government's crackdown on terrorists is fueling the hate extrajudicial killings abuse of suspects in custody and arbitrary arrests to name a few the growing insecurity in birkenau fast so has led to terrible crimes by both
3:53 am
armed islamists and state security forces you know for us has been taken over by militants the country so how so. the government has not been able to me talk to its obligation in the interest of its own citizens. in the country. mainly so would you if you were one supporting the maybe you have taken arms maybe i mean bush maybe counted for maybe. and government clearly has already put their hands up to say they're not feet not able to do can say al qaeda has decided increase its attacks against book simply because it wants to make a statement to the united states that it can take the fight to the so as the united states. in the book you know it's also saw has increased sort of the attacks. quick update on our breaking news story shootings at two mosques in christchurch
3:54 am
new zealand have left school to the people confronted and twenty others seriously injured three people a currently in police custody and the past prime minister just gave a media conference and i'll just correct that forty eight people were injured just being told she said the country had been targeted because it exemplifies multiculturalism diversity and acceptance are also hoping to hear from the country's police commissioner very soon and we will bring you all the latest updates after the short break. oh. come on. the thing aquatic. on

3:57 am
