7:02 am
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. they're pretty distraught over the course and just pushing themselves good is sad but you go one by one if you can and some people that it was believe people. in the main they're all new on writing side it would be plus people some of them would be some of them were screaming bloody stupid monument which flushing money and them from on my blog or my blog is going to happen to me not. this is one of new zealand's darkest days we're now joined in the studio by our
7:03 am
correspondent. what's the very latest you've been getting on this. hi jacqueline well some four dozen victims in this mass shooting really put this tragedy next to the list of some of the worst such disasters in the history of the world and who could have known that something like that could happen in new zealand in christ church which isn't even the biggest city of this country it's not the capitol i can tell you that it took police commissioner mike bush sorry several hours to say that at least one man has been charged with murder and he will appear in court on saturday however his press conference left quite a few questions unanswered for example mr bush still can not confirm the number of offenders. you know there are. things.
7:04 am
i'm aware of its suggestion which we're working through the moment when i have absolute clarity about. all the sharing that we never assume that there are other people involved that's why we've got to mince prisons. across canterbury and right across new zealand we don't have nine or identified people that we're looking for but it would be wrong to assume that there is no one else so police caught the offender rather quickly and they have received credit for that although it is absolutely astonishing how no agency both. were aware of any of the perpetrators or their preparations before hand earlier we also heard from the prime minister of new zealand and she had something very emotional to say about why our country fell victim to terrorism. we new
7:05 am
zealand. we were not a target because we are. those who fight. we were not true isn't for the sake of violence because we can darn rices them because we're an on clay for extremism. we would chosen for the very fact that we. face things. because we represent diversity kindness compassion hard for those who share our values. for those who need it and various values i can assure you will not and cannot be shaken by this attack you may have chosen us but we actually reject and can deem you. so to thumper attacks within minutes of each other occurring there are several suspects in custody how much planning and coordination does this suggest that the officials are being very careful when they're talking about this but we heard from the prime minister during
7:06 am
that same press conference they believe there is definitely a certain degree of planning behind this but when we look at this in general when we hear from local journalists when we hear from witnesses it's becoming more and more obvious that there was plenty of card nation and planning put into this i mean to massacres almost simultaneous in two separate mosques firearms being followed in two different locations improvised explosive devices in it if you look at the a social network accounts of these supposed terrorists they show at least two years of preparation one of the posts contain pictures of parts of the actual gun he supposedly used and there you can see the names of christians who fought against muslims during wars centuries ago so clearly he was on
7:07 am
a mission to kill as many muslim believers as possible and he wanted to have an audience for that because reportedly even. what he was doing on facebook exactly and the disturbing video of one of the attacks from the shooter's point of view has already been circled circulating on the internet what exactly does that show. we are now going to show you the video we can show you some of the screen shot and it has been a real dilemma for us what to do with this because we want to bring you the news but it's not just disturbing it's more than disturbing everything's asserting about this i will tell you something about the video it is it doesn't feel like it's real it looks like it's something from a video game the camera was attached either to the face or to somewhere probably the neck and you can see the actual gun you can see people fall and then people one of the way walling the man was clearly trying to hit to shoot at anyone he sees and that mosque and that is just something horrible because he's quite pay see
7:08 am
he was one of all the rooms there there was no longer a crowd there people were just trying to escape. and it's very difficult to describe what you see in that video it's really horrendous perhaps i'm going to stop there real tragedy artie's correspondent thank you so much for joining us in the studio and bringing us that information. when i'm joined by chris philips former head of national counterterrorism security office welcome to the program now new zealand is of course not a place that you associate with this kind of tragedy how big a shock is this to the country. oh my goodness just going to be a huge show to new zealand they've kind of money is just the terrorism issue to some extent over the last generation and of course this is not all. and of course if you don't have terrorist attacks if you don't feel as though you're likely to be attacked by terrorists then you don't quite do the preparation
7:09 am
necessarily that you want to do otherwise so so massive shock for them and the people are going to be in a state for some time to come. to the same line new zealand's pm was saying that the country was targeted for its multiculturalism its diversity its acceptance does that sound plausible to you well yes it was and of course the person has got his own reasons for attacking and i think we have to be very mindful of the right wing threat the extreme right wing threat as we've seen here of course we see it before it's not the only stalin and i mean this has a lot of walks and i'm just. a few years ago and he managed to kill a lot of people with guns and bombs as well. that you were saying that countries that aren't typical targets might not be as well prepared do you think that this could set a precedent for other countries that again might not be the usual idea of where these sort of attacks occur. yeah and i think most most countries these days do
7:10 am
realize that there's a problem is not only with islamic terrorism it's with these right wing people it's also. you know all countries should be doing something to protect themselves and i know that the new zealand police are really good they've got a good intelligence service but of course sometimes you can tell you're off the ball of if you're if you haven't had any attacks and you don't feel that there's going to be the second your country well and then there are reports that the suspect that one of the suspects posted pictures of his weapon on twitter a few days ago saying he was planning an attack were warning signs missed then. well yes clearly they were but i mean it depends if you're looking and you know you'd have to ask questions of the social media companies as well as. this stuff if anyone is monitoring and perhaps those people that sold those those tweets all those messages really should report them to the police so i mean to the fullness of
7:11 am
time we'll find out more about exactly that history of this these people what we can say at the moment is this in the this was a well planned hardly organized attack they planned over many months if not as close a man with a series of. innocent people with no got nowhere to go. is a moment system and those poor people had no choice. but you're talking about the social media sites who's responsible there but is it on the social networks to look for these sort of signs or should that go to the authorities is that the problem that this hasn't been clearly laid out who is responsible here. well the it is definitely an issue with legislation and who is responsible for monitoring these sites. what we do know is. someone must have seen them and those people should have reported to the police security services at the time that may have prevented these
7:12 am
incidents happening but you know let's let's not rush to judgment the onus is find out exactly what happened and how it happened and more people knew it's very unlikely that these people planned this to such a military accuracy would be without other people understanding knowing what they were going to do and those people need to be held to account as well. today we have the muslim community being targeted again what a spring on this hatred and causing these attacks to happen we see the whole all about terrorism is to turn one section of the community against another whether is muslims or wethers christians or anyone else it is about turning people on themselves and that's terrorists feed themselves so so really it's incumbent upon all of us politicians journalists and everyone else to make sure that they use language properly that they don't stir up this kind of should it will push people
7:13 am
sometimes into doing stupid things i mean this these people of color in their heads that they hate muslims now these people in that mosque were completely innocent they've done nothing wrong and were targeted simply because of their location where they were in that mosque and this is just this is just not acceptable and and the rest of the community going to fight against it it's as simple as that. do you think that today's attack will lead new zealand to reach changing its policies and is there any way to prevent these kinds of attacks. while there is ways to prevent these types of attacks in fact. my team and i was my oldest is that she wrote some protected security advice for all religious sites as well as well as other sites but of course the person with a gun is always going to overcome a lot of these things but you can and you can do things to protect what we've got to be aware that the only way really to stop this is to catch people before they
7:14 am
actually put the guns in their hands when they're doing the planning making sure their communities are willing to come forward and tell a police and that the police react in the right way to actual they have some as well so it's you know we live in a difficult world and we live in an open democratic society and if you if you have those freedoms of course people will make use of those freedoms as well and that's what we've seen in new zealand. chris philips former head of the national counterterrorism security office thank you for joining us on the program according to reports one of the suspects is a twenty eight year old australian history of the shooting via facebook he previously posted a white supremacist manifesto his social media accounts have since been blocked a video of the aftermath of the attack has appeared on twitter a warning you might find the following video disturbing oh out up to you but you know you don't want to know you
7:15 am
over the. earth but. for more on this we are now joined live by a local journalist david killick david what are the latest developments. i well i'm outside christchurch public hospital and i can tell you that there are about fifty people inside the hospital who is seriously ill very seriously injured this is in addition to the forty nine confirmed people who were killed in the two mosques attacks the soft noon local time at the moment the city is still reeling its people are still extremely shocked as far as we know the situation is moralists under control and that there are no more life terrorist. warnings at the moment. can you tell us a little bit about the mood in the city right now. the mood is very subdued it's now. lavan that mice clubs times are in the streets
7:16 am
a really quiet earlier only at coolum savory where police. advise and people stay at home to not go out and the central city was the last. that wasn't just cross just about all the cities around you say even where that was concerned that might be more attacks but that's not a beach right side thank goodness that what they said a couple of explosive devices that the police found and apparently defused so that fritz is now finished for now is as far as we can tell. local journalist david koch thank you so much for bringing us that report. if you.
7:17 am
think the number. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars that more than ten white collar crime happened today. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be on the bridge eight percent world market most thirty percent somewhat one hundred five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers will be. the only number you need remember one one business show you know for him it is one and only boom. russia is not an ideological scar across russia is a real neighbor with whom. we'll have to leave it always being in nato you or
7:18 am
wherever. it's in our interest to go to russia to talk to the russians to understand. welcome back 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 the air raids were conducted in response to rockets fired at tel aviv from gaza gaza hamas has denied that it was behind those rocket attacks we spoke with journalists on both sides of the border. been a lot of statements issued by different political political leaders here very nice ryle. particularly i can look at some of the. most prominent he does one many guns who he's
7:19 am
a serious contender for the upcoming elections among other things he says that it is time that israel and the hamas leaders but also other political leaders saying that they expect out of prime minister binyamin netanyahu with a very serious response given what happened last night 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 as a ministry of health has reported that four civilians have suffered burns and injuries as a result of the airstrikes that happened last night all the palestinian factions have denied any involvement with the escalation that happened last night the night before last night hamas said that it's looking into the shooting well we need to take measures against those responsible for it. my colleague neil harvey spoke earlier to israeli education minister enough tali bennett and got his
7:20 am
reaction to this latest incident we cannot accept this. rocket fire on our homes here in tel aviv and down in the negev we left the gaza strip about thirteen years ago now and. the moment we left they've been shooting rockets at us so we will not give up any more land it just doesn't make sense when we had learned over to the arabs they turned it into a radical islamic terrorist state and now it's time to fight back to the state and we will the un says that an armed palestinian civilians were shot by israeli forces so are you surprised that there is an aggressive. response coming from palestinians we have the right of self-defense and they do not accept any sort of preach from folks on the other side of the world when we're being shot rockets from
7:21 am
a piece of territory that we handed over to the arabs what i can say is that we won't do that again at least no one's trying to preach i mean i think everybody understands no matter what the grasp of the situation in the middle east is that the violence the cycle of violence continues and that begets more aggression. howie's you know the what you're suggesting going to improve the situation we left gaza we want peace the moment they stop shooting missiles at my children's. home and kindergarten is the moment there will be peace we have no territorial demand over gaza and they just need to stop it if they stop it there will be peace that's very simple. brock's it is heading for yet another cliffhanger after british voted to delay the u.k.'s departure from the european union the british prime minister will not return to brussels and seek an extension
7:22 am
to the deadline which just two weeks before the currently scheduled exit date frustration is building in westminster. we are like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel never ending or beginning on an ever spinning real it's just going on and on and on now we're told that the way that we can avoid any delay is to support the deal that the government has concluded with the european union yet this house as my own girlfriend has just mentioned has twice rejected that deal most recently only two days ago the deal is dead it cannot be resurrected was her deal and no deal a simply no longer viable option it isn't just the prime minister let down by. the countries being misled and now the plan has been mislaid she has bludgeoned us black and blue with a brain food deal on her robotic manager of it's my deal or no deal this is a waste of time and a waste of time for our chamber and that should not be happening what we should be
7:23 am
to is thinking i'm happy now a way forward and a life full weight is to extend article fifty british people are sick of this pricks it's those people in this house are a third so-called meaningful vote until recently as briggs the deal will take place next week if m.p.'s reject it she will ask brussels for a long deadline extension potentially lasting years depending on the reaction back home that could trigger a general election or a second referendum but if m.p.'s passed means deal last brussels for a shorter extension until june the thirtieth if no extension is granted or no deal agreed in whatever time frame is adopted the u.k. could crash out of the block with no deal and i still see a church going to look at the latest developments in westminster. it's been a very hectic week here in parliament with a series of votes meant to eliminate certain possibilities of what bracks it might end up looking like if you recall just on tuesday nights we saw m.p.'s reject
7:24 am
a recently breakfast deal that she so painstaking mistakingly negotiated with brussels reject that for the second time around then on wednesday night we saw a big new to the possibility of a new deal bracks it which of course still didn't take that option off the table however on no thursday nights the last of a series of crucial votes at least for now where m.p.'s got together to vote on a possible extension of the bracks a deadline the original bragg's a deadline now march twenty ninth as many as four hundred twelve m.p.'s said yes to extending the deadline two hundred two said no that's a majority of two hundred ten votes so certainly quite a considerable margin that indicates if there's anything the house of commons can agree on at this point it's that they're not ready for bracks it to take place at
7:25 am
the agreed deadline of march twenty ninth now the big question is to recently has to get energized yet again find her way back to brussels and try to get an extension agreement from members of the european union so what is this extension going to be used for is the big question and that's an answer that certainly brussels wants to hear from the u.k. but also that's an answer that teresa mayes going to have to find before she tries to get back into any kinds of negotiations or talks or whatever you want to call it attempts to try to figure out what happens with all of this next we mustn't get carried away with the idea that this was a great victory for the trying minister in the government and it's it's my. to delay by four hundred twelve to two hundred and this was a defeat and it can't be addressed as a victory remember we was first we leaving on the twenty ninth of march and went
7:26 am
nowhere near that even if let's say by some political miracle she wins next week at the time of asking the truth of the matter is west still going to need an extension because we don't have the domestic legislation in place to be able to leave in a in a reasonable way. francis police response to the country's yellow vests protest is putting civil liberties under threat that's according to a french human rights watchdog artie's paul flare has more. rubber bullets tear gas on the vehicles the way the president mccracken has responded to the mass anger of the yellow vests movement has sparked widespread condemnation. and friends along with the decline of public services a policy of strength and security and repression has taken root in the face of the
