a two mosques and christ church new zealand have killed forty nine people and injured forty eight more the country's police commissioner confirmed four suspects are 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. there buddy distraught over the bad colds just to see themselves good is sad but you go one by one it's about you and some people that it was believe me it was. in the me in the room. it looked deep love people some of them would be some of them were screaming bloody to do a medium and especially money and then people marveled remember it's going to happen to me now.
12:03 pm
this is one of the new ceilings darkest days first reports of the shooting were reported at one forty pm local time in the eleanor mosque minutes later another mosque just five kilometers away was reported to also be under fire a video of the aftermath of one of the attacks has appeared on social media and warning you might find the footage disturbing. world leaders have condemned the attack and criticized the rise of islamophobia they also offered support to the victims. go reports on the attack. so far police have made four arrests but almost nothing is being disclosed about these four
12:04 pm
people we didn't hear any names from them the only thing that we know so far is that one man in his late twenty's has been charged with murder and will appear in court on saturday now two other suspects are definitely being held in connection with this shooting and about one person they're not sure whether he or she has anything to do with the attack and i'll tell you what the police haven't even explained what the number of the shooters was and if everything danger has been caught so far still quite a few questions have been left unanswered at this point we are not really looking for any identified because we never assume that there are other people involved that's why we've got. prisons. across canterbury and right across new zealand we don't have nine or identified people that we're looking for but it would
12:05 pm
be wrong to assume that there is no want to. something else we learned from police boss mike bush and it's actually very astonishing that the agencies and the relevant authorities both from new zealand and australia are nothing about the perpetrators or their preparations before hand so as you said earlier police aren't identifying the suspect yet but media are already naming a name through an alleged live stream then there was this life stream and we cannot confirm that but it looks like the attacker was live streaming everything he was doing on facebook and everything is absolutely disturbing about this shooting spree but the life stream is just surreal if you look at it. you don't believe it's something that can happen in real life it's like a video game the authorities asked the media and the public not to show it not to
12:06 pm
share it but obviously in the first few hours after the shooting it was all over social media we're just going to show you a few screen shots from it again if you look at it just. you cannot watch it without crying or anything without getting shocked it appears like the camera was attached to a man's face or somewhere below so you can actually see the gun and the people falling from all the gun shots it looks like the man was shot to kill as many people as possible running around the rooms of the mosque people were trying to escape but they couldn't and so that means suspicious the media accounts could have been traced before the incident yes and quite a few ugly things could have been found in the posts we could actually make a conclusion that the supposed terrorist was preparing for this for two years and one post there were actually photos of gun parts with names of christians who fought muslims in wars centuries ago the names were written on these parts so he
12:07 pm
was clearly going after muslim believers and a few hours before the shooting happened a manifesto by the supposed terrorists allegedly appeared online and this long manifesto law and the motives were racist they were anti immigrant sentiment was clearly there and it was also because of revenge for earlier terrorist attacks in europe now a little earlier the prime minister of new zealand spoke and in a quite emotional way she tried to elaborate why she believes her country became the target for these extremists we new zealand. we were not a target because we are a safe. height. we were not chosen for the sake of violence because we can darn racism because we are an enclave for extremism. we would chosen for the very facts
12:08 pm
that we none of these things and in the case we are waiting for more updates from the authorities from the police but new zealand will never be the same new zealand before this killing spree and after two clearly different countries. as i mentioned before the assault the alleged shooter posted a seventy four page re suspend offense so encouraging attacks on non-whites there he claims he's been planning the attack for years though the us was his first choice he also identified himself as a fascist shooter also lifestream the attack on facebook and twitter for around twenty minutes the social media giants are now under scrutiny for their failure to highlight the extremist material earlier. facebook twitter you tube and other providers have taken action to remove the video and other propaganda related to the attack the government has been clear that all companies need to act more quickly to
12:09 pm
remove terrorist content there should be no safe spaces for terrorists to promote and share their extreme views and braddock lies others the issue is not whether or not there's technology available to police social media the bigger issue is are we as a global community ready and ready to allow social media to be policed that's really the big question about here it needs to be a public private partnership government and social media corporations absolutely need to collaborate on cyber crime such as this we know factually speaking that terrorism regardless of its vaine terrorism uses social media to recruit to plan attacks we notice to be true in that b.b. case one of those elements can operate without the other the private sector corporations social media companies and government need to work together. to
12:10 pm
provide a safer global community. washington has threatened to revoke or deny visas to members of the international criminal court that's if they attempt to investigate or prosecute alleged war crimes committed by u.s. forces in afghanistan since two thousand and three live not to cable martin in new york so what exactly was the court investigating to provoke this reaction from the u.s. . well quite an announcement from mike pompei o saying essentially that if any personnel from the international criminal court attempt to investigate or prosecute the actions of u.s. personnel or u.s. military forces in afghanistan that their visa will either be denied or ruvo let's review what he said exactly. we are determined to protect the american and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation these visa restrictions will not be the
12:11 pm
end of our efforts we are prepared to take additional steps including economic sanctions at the i.c.c. does not change its course. now the international criminal court has been investigating the crimes of the taliban in afghanistan and they published a report in twenty sixteen now the report described many atrocities committed by the taliban and the afghan forces in the country however a section of the report they published in two thousand and sixteen did refer to war crimes by u.s. forces it referred to torture cruel treatment outrages upon the personal dignity and rape and essentially according to the report the i.c.c. published in two thousand and sixteen they said that these crimes had taken place in detention programs run by the afghan government in the early years of the us the us military presence in afghanistan now the report did not name individuals who were responsible however it does say that these were not the abuses of
12:12 pm
a few isolated individuals and it says that they took place in two thousand and three and two thousand and four is around the time that these violations of international law were committed let's review some of what is alleged in the i.c.c. report regarding the activities of u.s. forces in afghanistan that violated international law as reasonable basis to believe these alleged crimes were committed in furtherance of a policy old policies aimed to eliciting information through the use of interrogation techniques involving cruel violent methods which would support u.s. objectives in the conflict in afghanistan. now the united states has never been a member of the international criminal court however in the year two thousand bill clinton did sign the declaration of the statue of rome that essentially created the i.c.c. however the united states never fully joined the i.c.c. now national security adviser john bolton at one point threatened sanctions against the i.c.c.
12:13 pm
if they continued probing into american war crimes and activities in afghanistan and he even talked in two thousand and two of of ceremonially on signing the statue of rome that created the i.c.c. so now let's review some of what john bolton said when he gave this speech blasting the i.c.c. back in two thousand and two. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. we will let the i.c.c. die on its own after all for all intents and purposes the i.c.c. is already dead. now the response to john bolton's comments back in two thousand and two that it would to simply not be intimidated or dissuaded and we have a response at this point from the international criminal court regarding the recent comments by my pompei oh they say that they will be undeterred by threats about revoking visas so at this point there's a clear disagreement the international criminal court seems to be pursuing the end
12:14 pm
investigating the activities of u.s. forces in afghanistan and u.s. leaders are not happy about it. and reporting live from new york thank you. and exchange of fire has escalated tensions between israel and palestinian islamists in the gaza strip israeli warplanes bombed around one hundred hamas linked targets in response to two rockets sent in to tell of if it was the first such attack on central israel since the two thousand and fourteen war. there were no casualties on the israeli side while four palestinians were wounded hamas has denied it was behind the rocket attacks and media reports claim the israeli authorities now believe the rockets were launched accidentally we spoke to journalists on both sides of the border. been a lot of statements issued by different political political leaders you're a nice role. particularly in looking at some of the. most prominent
12:15 pm
leaders one many guns is a serious contender for the upcoming elections among other things he says that it is time that israel and women need to 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 doesn't ministry of health has reported that four civilians have suffered burns and injuries as a result of the airstrikes that happened last night the palestinian factions have denied any involvement with the escalation that happened last night the night before last night said that it's looking into the shooting bowing to take measures
12:16 pm
against those responsible for it my colleague meal hardly spoke to the israeli education minister enough taliban up to get his reaction to this latest incident we cannot accept this. rocket fire on our homes here in tel aviv and 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 and 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 state and we will the un says that. palestinian civilians were shot by israeli forces so do you suppose. that there is an aggressive. response coming from palestinians they have the right of self-defense and they do not accept any sort of preach from folks on
12:17 pm
the other side of the world when we're being shot rockets from 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 that no matter what the grasp of the situation in the middle east is that the violence the cycle of violence continues and the begats more aggression. 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 the british pm may have once famously said braggs it means breaks it but it

around the world friday's protests are expected to be one of the biggest international rallies so far demonstrations are planned in more than one hundred countries. that is heading for yet another cliffhanger after british m.p.'s voted to delay the u.k.'s departure from the european union prime minister treason they will now return to brussels and seek an extension to the parks at dublin with 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 and 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
12:21 pm
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 man sure of it's my deal or no deal this is a waste of time and the waste of time for our chamber and that should not be happening what we should be to is thinking and mapping out of leaflets and why full weight is to extend article fifty eight british people are sick of the sprits it moves people in this house on a third vote on bikes that will take place next week and again vote to reject theresa may as planned she will have to ask brussels for a long delay which could last years that could potentially trigger a general election or a second referendum on the other hand if bracks it is passed than the prime minister could request a postponement to the end of june by then the u.k. might either leave the block with
12:22 pm
a deal or walk away with nothing at all if both sides fail to reach a consensus professor of european law at edgehill university francisco resume breaks down the latest for us. he has now shown the self to be completely ineffective she isn't in control of her own party never mind call him and she is now just a figurehead prime minister and it depends how long can she survive i think that it's quite possible that we could see a general election. the only problem there is a lot she has now is a very tiny majority. not sure that the labor party actually won the election of this point because they're not confident that they would win it so we might see this coyote's going on for a good few months or year yet to come but really the only way to resolve this problem though is to i would general election and have a completely new house of parliament. had there been 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 appears to be paying the

a problem so far the consequences are terrible schools and health clinics are closed people have fled it's become 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 do some of the day we are militarily engaged in the whole region which was larcom forces because 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 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
12:25 pm
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 enough also has been taken over by militants the country itself has suffered immensely the government has not been able to meet talk its obligation in or in the interest of its own citizens instability in the country in general with mainly soldiers who are one supporting the many have taken arms many are in the bush may be accounted for many be joined the government clearly has already put their hands up to say not feet not able to contain al-qaeda has decided to increase its attacks against booking a force simply because it wants to make a statement to the united states that it can take the fight to them so as the united states' involvement in the book in the fossil saga has increased so have the
