that's according to a french human rights watchdog ati's porus lia. i . probably let's tear gas on the vehicles the way the president mccraw and has responded to the mass anger of the yellow vests movement has sparked widespread condemnation. in france along with the decline of public services a policy of strength and security and repression has taken root in the face of the terrorist threat social troubles and fears about an immigration crisis that has the country's human rights on but simon in his annual report shocked to born says that the number of people of wastage is unprecedented. and some of the weapons used to disperse the crowd should be prohibited over the
5:31 am
course of the protests thousands of people were injured some lost they are as others had the heads blown off the road or you know oh. policeman sturdy to shoot to help the firefighters to get through and it was the last thing that i remember because actually that i fell and a grenade hit my head. i was. now let's see who lost and the government is completely blind even with the video footage they can't accept responsibility for what is happening. but the french government rejects the claims saying the police officers were protecting themselves you have to ask a simple question do our security forces have the right to defend themselves in the face of the ultraviolence of some demonstrators both the united nations and council of europe have criticized the excessive force of mcconnell's response we encourage
5:32 am
the government to continue dialogue and urge full investigation of all reported cases of assess if use of force the heavy handed way the president quelled at the protests and dealt with public anger continues to haunt him policy r t terrorists. the fight against islamic states last remaining pocket of resistance in syria is entering its final moments u.s. backed opposition forces say around thirteen hundred isis fighters and their families surrendered on thursday in the syrian town of by groups but it's after a massive military offensive was launched a few days ago with the help of u.s. air cover.
5:33 am
as concerns about bringing isolated streamers to trial in the countries of their origin grow one german father has shared his view on the issue both his sons left the country to join eisel and his historic. as. this is fabian my eldest son he should be in a prison of the free syrian army now. and this is my new realm my youngest son's. but you. know they both embraced islam they said it was their decision that it was the right faith both of them left
5:34 am
a goodbye letter they both said thank you for being good parents. in opposition. so they were thankful and said we had been the best parents they asked us to trust that it just was their faith and their way which they had to follow. us at the foot. and. three weeks ago i received a call saying that my oldest son fabian ended up as a prisoner of the free syrian army. and. the coup was anonymous but it was very credible no one was asking for money it was simply information that three days before fabian had been taken prisoner together with twenty other people.
5:35 am
who said look there are between seventy or eighty german young people women children men who are currently being held prisoner in syria from a legal point of view i think the german government has an obligation to bring these children back for two reasons one is that they are german citizens and the other is the state is partly responsible for letting so many young people go to syria. reminder of our breaking news story now mass shootings at two mosques in christchurch new zealand have killed forty nine people and to thirty nine the number of dead was confirmed by the country's police commissioner he also confirmed four suspects were now in custody one of them a male in his late twenty's has been charged with murder and will appear in court tomorrow here's a recap of what happened. to
5:36 am
the body. over the bad calls just for. you good is how you go one by one everybody and some people thought it was believed it was i saw in the main the wrong. side it looked pretty lost people some of them were dead some of them were screaming bloody but the monument splashing money and i'm still on my board oh my god it's going to happen to me now. this is one of new zealand's darkest days. joined now by a security and political analyst editor. weekly in beirut thanks so often coming out of the program now we have heard the same thread running through the fact that this kind of incident is not associated with new zealand how much of
5:37 am
a shock is it you think. it's a huge shock because usually new zealand is the is portrayed as a peaceful country a country where people live together in harmony multicultural environment this is a big shock and it reminds me of an attack that took place in perhaps there are some similarities at this point to the investigation still at the beginning but the . there are similarities with the attack that took place in twenty eleven in norway . by that was a lone wolf now we know that there are many differences because the attack here in new zealand apparently there are several suspects apparently there are some ideas also that were fine that were found in some of the vehicles and the property of the suspects the investigation is still at the beginning however it's clear that this attack created a shock not only for new zealand and australia and southeast asia but also for the whole world this attack comes on a friday this is the holy grail for muslim people are usually there in the mosque
5:38 am
or in large numbers so therefore the number of casualties is very large we can have we can see the early reports that say forty nine and thirty nine i think the number is also likely to grow there are also people who were there witnessed this they would suffer from. post-traumatic stress disorder perhaps later anyway the implications of this let's turn to to actually provide full analysis yet it comes at a time when there is an environment around the world of islamophobia of a kind of hatred again against muslim and many western countries there are elections that lead to right wing extremist government to reach power in europe there's a behavior in washington that is clearly i mean in some met many times portrayed as white supremacist extreme right wing trump administration that is always you know expressing words that are an ethical against muslims creating
5:39 am
a general stereotypes that muslims are connected with terrorism and this actually creates more of a collective motives and motives for people who ignore and about things and would actually think that muslims are the reasons behind terrorism and the rise of isis that is using islamic ideology in a kind of a twisted way to mobilize people and create mayhem isis at this point is. as your report just said is there are still some pockets. in syria and iraq is this connected is this related to the group. found this identified this is to have received the group is actually. a short mark that these people they could. not connected isis they could have acted they could be people who acted locally it could be a domestic kind of a domestic terrorist attack isolated from the general. however it's
5:40 am
a big shock and it calls for a kind of dealing with the whole atmosphere around the world that should not actually encourage islamophobia and unfortunately there are many western governments that are doing so. i mean prime minister just sent out and she was quite clear about you know you mentioning the rise of islamophobia. being an example she was quite clear about her message which is to be vigilant against any extreme ideology and violence she said that the country was chosen for this act of violence because it's an example of multiculturalism diversity and acceptance how what did you interpret from her comments. yes i think that i think there will be changes in the in the new zealand strategy of the government to handle these issues to handle violent extremism in fact there is
5:41 am
a general international environment to actually create strategies that are culturally sensitive that can identify violent extremism and do something to prevent it within the educational system within the criminal justice system the legal system the unesco has an important role to play however in new zealand i think there will be some important steps to actually block islamophobia and strengthen the multicultural environment and it targets muslims and this could create and reinforce the wrong and misleading stereotype that now this can be portrayed as christians attacking muslims and this is very detrimental and very destructive for the whole process so i think there is a this is a call for the international community and for the new zealand government and communities all around the world this could this attack could happen apparently in any in any country so therefore this is an alert for everybody to actually take
5:42 am
islamophobia very seriously and try to eradicate it and try to eradicate this tension between different communities because when it comes to crime the motive for terrorism is not islam it is not a specific religion it is some criminal properties that are to be identified and dealt with not on a cultural level but more on a criminal justice level. and just to correct you that the place was called christ church if we move on and look at social media and the power of it obviously remiss that he had there were blatant signs put on a few days before the attack how do you think governments should monitor social media networks if they science are putting up and not acting on it. i think that there should be a defusing of the connection between islam and terrorism this is because in the world today if you follow the social media and international media and if you talk
5:43 am
to the popular a few actually take a closer look at popular culture there is a kind of criticized ties asian of the connection between islam and terrorism between islam and crime and this is completely misleading and it's creating this tension the tension that is in utero growing in europe and growing in the united states kind of tension against specific minorities that. muslim. terrorist and i think the image of isis and al qaida and the attacks of nine eleven reinforce that some of the images on the internet of some extremist islamic clerics or some extremist groups reinforce this however the islamic population and muslims in hundreds of millions and majority are people who are no abiding and who are contributing to society and the religion does not call for terrorism and does not call for the destruction and therefore should not. create this kind of hatred and
5:44 am
this reaction against it i think that this attack should be a wake up call for everyone around the world that this matter needs to be dealt with in a serious way and there's a bigger role to play in education in social security programs in in a cultural program unesco has a leading role and individual governments have a leading role to develop their strategy to combat violent extremism. and political analyst editor of the. week thank you very much for coming on to the. israel bombed around one hundred hamas linked targets in gaza overnight the i.d.f. says its targets included headquarters used for the planning and execution of terror attacks there raids were conducted in response to rockets launched at tel
5:45 am
aviv from gaza hamas has denied that it was behind the rocket attacks well we can get more now from tel aviv based journalist. and gaza based journalist you know. what's the israeli position first then what's happened. so a lot of statements issued by different political political leaders yuri knees role . particularly i can look at some of the. most prominent leaders one many guns is a serious contender for the upcoming elections among other things you say is that it is time that israel eliminated hamas leaders but also other political leaders saying that they expect out of prime minister binyamin netanyahu with very serious response given what happened last night. ok and we're going to cross to you you
5:46 am
know. what's the view from the gaza perspective on all this. well yes today was last night was one of the scariest and most frightening nights for the civilians in the gaza strip as the israeli military carried on airstrikes in the entire gaza strip targeted one hundred targets hamas the host corridors of hamas in gaza city and other and other military posts of course it was said that this was in. response to the three rockets that were announced from the gaza strip to tel aviv in a very tense twenty fourteen war according also today israeli military. iron dome system had intercepted three rockets with no casualties being reported
5:47 am
ok tel aviv based. on gaza based journalist. and. that of u.s. special operations in africa has admitted that washington and its allies are not winning the war in the region and one country in particular. the prime. reports. you've heard about the u.s. is adventures in afghanistan iraq libya syria but maybe you didn't know washington's also got involved in the west african country of bourke 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 receive every day is like a took a don't know with the terrorists won from us for years washington has been fighting that terrorist toxin in burkina faso and like afghanistan terrorist groups in the country are only becoming more active isilon al qaeda splinter groups conducted one
5:48 am
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 a new 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 of it today we are militarily engaged in the whole region through the bar can force it's our responsibility to do it because these are friendly countries and because we are all targeted by terrorism which creates a common cause in 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
5:49 am
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 armed islamists and state security forces but you know for us it's been taken over by militants the country itself has suffered immensely the government has not been able to me talk its obligation in there in the interest of its own citizens instability in the country in general with many soldiers who are one supporting the many have taken arms many are in the bush may be accounted for maybe be joined al qaeda the government clearly has already put their hands up to say they're not feet not able to to contain al qaeda has decided to increase its
5:50 am
attacks against book in advance but 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' involvement in the book you know faster saga has increased so have the attacks. yes they department has announced further financial support for that within seven minutes the white talents and spent a little money for the self described civil defense claim was published online yes plans to allocate five million dollars to support life saving operations conduct. i think it's one as this follows donald trump statement last year that the u.s. would stop funding the organization. despite being described as heroes by the state department the white house have discredited themselves numerous times they were implicated in fabricating evidence of an alleged chemical attack and duma syria last year and also making to organ trafficking hasn't caught some of the white
5:51 am
house with other activities in syria but a word of caution some of the images may be to. whispering to ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war he believes that white house myths all came to west and plans to further into function in syria . if the united states is going to give them yet more money it's because the united states still foresees a role for the white house minutes in syria the united states knows that the
5:52 am
russian and syrian governments are poised to liberate it live problems and to drive the terrorists out of there and so they expect the white house minutes to continue their their dastardly roles that they played in syria over the past six years now and the first one of which is to create pretax for military intervention direct military intervention as occurred last year over the issue of dumas where the white house how much. were widely exposed as having staged a chemical a fake chemical incident they have backed the white house once again to stage an incident which will allow the great powers to unleash a missile attack on syria it's a crime against humanity. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more updates.
