a brace this manifesto from one of the alleged attackers where he reportedly claimed to been planning the atrocity three years. also the u.s. threatens to revoke visas from members of the international criminal court that has washington continues to pressure the body to stop investigating alleged war crimes committed by u.s. forces in afghanistan. plus a whistleblower linked to the exposure of alleged massive corruption in football fears for his life after hungary and court rules that he will be extradited over data theft charges his lawyers are warning that it's all part of an attempt to destroy evidence. good evening our welcome thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. mass shootings two mosques in christchurch new zealand

which left forty nine people dead forty eight injured have now been officially classed as acts of terrorism here is a breakout of what occurred. everybody just trying to cover the bad calls themselves good. one by one. and some people that he too was believe. in the mean the. inside. plus people some of them were some of them were screaming bloody. splashing money and i'm thinking oh my god oh my god it's going to happen to me now . this is why no for new zealand darkest days first reports of the shooting came at

one forty pm local time in the north mosque minutes later another mosque just five kilometers away was reported to be also under fire a video of the aftermath of one of the attacks has appeared on social media i must warn you may find this footage coming up now disturbing. was. was. was. was. for people were initially arrested in connection with the attack one of them a male in his late twenty's has been charged with murder and will appear in court tomorrow to others remain in custody. later said the fourth person who was likely not related to the attack r.t. said if you're trying to has details. so far police have made four arrests but

almost nothing is being disclosed about these four 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 i'll tell you what the police haven't even explained what the number of the shooters was and if everything. 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 there are other people involved that's why we've got a. prison cell. across canterbury and right across new zealand we don't have nine to five people that we're looking for but it would 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 hard 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 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 can't watch it without crying or anything without getting shocked it appears like the camera was attached to the 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 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 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 on cry for extremism. we would chosen for the very fact that we are none of these things. in any 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 are to flee different countries. ok let's bring in some guests now stephen morris of the english democrats party and catherine shutdown middle east expert joins me now very good evening to you folks and it's a shame it's a solemn occasion to have to discuss this new zealand's prime minister said the country was targeted for its multiculturalism diversity and acceptance stephen do you think that's a valid explanation. i don't watch it i just think it's the usual platitudes for a leader of a country we don't know exactly what's new zealand's been doing to try and tackle the problem the rise of radicalism the islam or extremist like this guy here. so to me it's just the same old same old from these leaders what we want to know is

what of the doing to tackle the extremism from both sides you know and we just don't seem to be anything and my concern now is that they will try and use this to trying to squash any debate any conversations regarding extremism or medically of. the sky came from and i think the governments may try and use it as leverage when what we should be doing is having open clear dialogue to understand the concerns of all the communities. how we can help the islamic community and how we can try and address the rise of any extremist groups like this guy who belong to. what do you think of it the suggestion by the prime minister is that you know the kind of a shining example of how multiculturalism works and diversity works and but that's the reason that they were targeted. now i think it's a bit of

a copout i think that she's basically trying to deflect blame ahead of time and position herself as being a promoter of. democratic values human rights and so on and i think it's this is the here to be losing ground politically speaking and so she's trying to be a bit of a demagogue here and trying to again deflect i don't think it has anything to do with anything i think that the issue of radicalism is rampant nine our society and across the board regardless of geography and i think that's a problem we need to actually be courageous about and face up to and it's not limited to islamic radicalism i think that fascism is on the rise wherever and it has a lot to do with the fact that there's been so much you know identity politics there is so much part of the ring of certain demographics that people always doing behind i would say very practical lines when it comes to the way that they identify politically socially ethnically and of course religiously and this is this is an

issue we have this kind of brand new police and now that is targeting everyone is kind of like robbing hold of the narrative and it's very dangerous. of the money first that was reportedly published by one of the assailants. it was pretty prejudiced against whole swathes of people based on religion the or the fact that they were immigrants or the color of the skin. particularly logo about attacks on muslim communities that been a number of them over the just going about the last two or three years. muslim communities targeted in the west in what what is driving do you think this through it. well the luck of the sea the misreporting of the lack of reporting from the mainstream media and obviously when there's an attack like this it's all over the world reports eight however when these. attacks in the middle east talking christian groups. talking christian churches and

then obviously planning attacks both in the west get they don't seem to get the same kind of covert always that well it's a lone wolf somebody with mental problems working alone well no it's not the case we need to start to report these things properly and we need to pull all of them. no the only way you can address the radical the radical islam or the farm fresh islam or groups of this guy is to properly dialogue to report everything that's going on so people fully understand one of the things. with the government the british special british government is to try and deny everything you know or not talk about it's not for me so stop trying to treat things like. it's a long war. fire coming over let's get the reporting right let's get it problems and then find out what the problem is. to address these people or seen the these massive problems go away norm. the governments are not looking to tackle it.

because they're not chuckling that gained momentum for the coals because their argument will always be the truth the government the government a chance to. make it secret so we need to do something and we need to stop that would you agree with that catherine that you know that there's an element of the way it's reported or the way that governments approach these attacks that's the. absolute lee i mean to a great extent you know there's this narrative now going on. in your time by islamic radical is worth reporting that somehow a life in the middle east is less worthy than a life in the west and i think this is this is that has driven the dynamics and people now have an understanding of course that it's ok to go about including muslims because that the other day the foreigners and therefore you know they are literally it's open market on them then people feel free to just target them or demonize them or criminalize them just for existing in the west you know they have

been portrayed so many times as foreigners that as if religion is a nationality this is very dangerous but again i'm going back to this this identity politics now that is running rampant in our society across the board regardless you know whether we're on the right or on the left this is some. i think that is pandemic and we have to own up to it and the think it has a lot to do with the fact that our democratic institutions are actually slipping away into fascism and no one is actually willing or critics enough to own up to it we are in a situation where we are criminalizing people's differences and trying to reach through behind incline and it's a dangerous dangerous leap and i think that you have nine hundred thirty s. you know prove how dangerous it could be for humanity as a whole and it's sad to say but this is been driven by washington in a sense in one nine hundred ninety s. and we have stood by and looked on as you know them with certain demographic demographic have been targeted and this is now leading to the kind of violence that

we see today in new zealand but not only if you look at the way for example that certain military campaigns are being run in differently it's like in yemen for example you can see how you know one person feel entitled to kill all the forty people because they see their governments do the same you know in the middle east or even across africa and asia in or your opinion and so they think that it's ok to be targeting those communities they feel are not on par with them if we talk about what is the root cause of this you know one of the attackers themselves didn't want immigrants so it's a kind of multi cultural question the didn't want the immigrant to do what their religion didn't want no culture coming in and poisoning as they saw it you know the nation all we're talking about in each of these terrorist attacks. of this ilk we talk about isolated incidents where it's a mentally unstable person who is using religion or immigration as an excuse to carry out and express their hatred or does it suggest that there is some kind of

problem with multiculturalism. for me for myself i think this is probably multiculturalism it's multiculturalism doesn't work it's been shown not to work you can't have different cultures different laws in one place you have to have a common purpose and the common purpose is the law of that country which you have to follow what you've got trying to bring people from different countries into one area but have different laws they want to use their own laws from where they've travelled from that doesn't work multicultural is a failure multiculturalism a sure it's a grand scale these nations and we've seen many nations war on various things so when you bring them all into one little in england the u.k. is going to be problems because they're not going to not going to integrate is more . one of the things we've seen recently it's not the fact of immigration

it's the fact of the uncontrolled must immigration where we've seen large areas suddenly change and where we've seen arab use trying to impose different laws and different cultures in the mail that's driving the problem people haven't got time to adapt humans are very slow or adapt to change it's just not in our nature and so one of the things that when you you've got this massive influx they haven't got the time scale to adapt and that's creating resentment so you've got to start to control that to some of the resentment what do you think catherine is multicultural cultural isn't used as an excuse by sick minds or is it part of the problem. i think it's complicated because for most a critter is going to work he needs she had to first of all you to live in a democratic society and you need to have an understanding that we need to have some give and take on both sides of the river and that means that you're going to

have to have forbearance and toleration of the other. and i think that so far it hasn't worked because people again have been radicalized on both sides of the river and that has led to the other brink and people have felt that you know they are not have been disenfranchised and it's leading to violence and of course certain people are using this as some kind of political ammunition to assert their own hold over their party or movements or society trying to achieve their agenda and i think that's a problem i mean you know if you look back before the one nine hundred ninety s. and of course nine eleven i think that we lived in a much more democratic and tolerant society because we did understanding that in order to live together we had to not even decided that it's a zero sum game in yourself or because of i think the leader of washington in this desire to obliterate our democratic institutions across the board and dilute what it is that we stand for which is essentially tolerance and compassion in humanity

and the idea that a life is a lie for god is the way it is and where it is lost or gained you know we are losing values and this this is being seen now and being manipulated by people who do maybe have mental issues but i think a lot of the time is being driven by a very sick and therefore a sedan that they know exactly what they're doing and they're quite happy doing it so the it's a form of global sourcing i think it would say so what do you think about the one of the alleged attackers said that you know this this was about choosing a low crime country to prove that no one is safe and seemingly was pointed out we've we've great these. was one of the low crime culture i don't know the crime rate in new zealand either way but one of the issues is these lot of countries that could have made quite a lot of in part one of the issues obviously i don't know what the gun laws are in new zealand if you was looking to make an impact the in part would often be in the

united states. that's where you do it obviously in the u.k. gun laws are a lot stricter samy. in europe so it becomes very more very difficult to do that kind of a. but i do think that the issue of mental health is not mental health sort it's more of the actual indoctrination that's going on on both sides. the kind of brainwashing these people into a certain way. and the mental illness is just a to me a cop out. say well we've got mental illnesses that's just straight forward. to me the good the governments have to look at how they treat it like your guest has said about washington however we can look at a lot of the of the middle east countries which are actually not democratic countries but we see the government. try to you put them across as democratic countries they don't have parliamentary systems they don't have a form of democracy and yet we supposed to look at these as friends like saudi

arabia and all the countries that do not have a proper democratic system so if we're looking to obviously when we go to to me an illegal war when we went into iraq in an illegal war to me that saying to everybody else well if the u.k. government can go into an illegal war to try and impose its views on another culture why can't the individual the government's got to lead by example ok we've got about one minute left us want to quickly give catherine a chance to speak and i just want to ask you there is a danger isn't there that this will create more of a division between muslims and muslims do you worry that will happen. no because i mean the you know i think communities in general across new zealand and the world are not stupid enough to believe that violence is a solution or an answer to another form of violence if anything is going to is going to push people further together the problem is we have to address. the reason behind this attack and again there has to

a lot to do with the fact that governments are quite happy to radicalize the own narrative for for their own political purposes and that has trickled down to society and able to empowered those people who feel that violence and a form of fascism is ok we have to understand that it is a form of terrorism terrorism is not limited to islamic terrorism it's it has to do whenever someone targets another community or demographic just because they are different then we are talking about terrorism. ok guys we greatly appreciate you coming on this evening stephen morris of the english democrats party middle east expert catherine shotgun thank you both. thank you. thanks for staying with us here on our coverage of this more details and live updates on this incident you couldn't employer to our website that's our dot com. ok let's run up some of the news for you now washington is threaten to revoke or

deny visas to members of the international criminal court as if their term to investigate or prosecute alleged war crimes committed by u.s. forces in afghanistan since two thousand and three. 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 end of our efforts we are prepared to take additional steps including economic sanctions if the i.c.c. does not change its course 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 in the early years of the us the us military presence in afghanistan has 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. if they continued probing into american war crimes and activities in afghanistan we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c.

and lee 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. . c. is already dead us thuggish attempt to penalize investigators resuming attacks against the court sends a dangerous signal that the united states is hostile to human rights and the rule of law so at this point there's a clear disagreement the international criminal court seems to be pursuing the end investigating the activities of u.s. forces in afghanistan and u.s. leaders are not happy about it. for pentagon security analyst michael maloof believes that the u.s. never cooperates with any agreements that could limited sanctions. but keep in mind too john bolton doesn't like any international agreements he's made this very very clear now and from the you know i.n.f. treaty with what russia is also canceled the president on by now but the person

agreement there is anything that limits u.s. capabilities in any way shape or form john bolton. seem to be opposed to it george bush and. dick cheney and others who were involved in the iraq war of two thousand and three were basically. accused and and held up for alleged war crimes in the fact that the united states was not a signatory to the i.c.c. it refused to cooperate whatsoever and in a perfect world it would seem that based on the old nuremberg tribunals and what have you been following world war two that you would need a court that would take action if a country itself failed to do so and that seems to be there seems to be a backpedaling in that direction now. and whistleblowing footballer whose leaks have about some of europe's top clubs claims that there's an attempt to silence him

that's after group into last an appeal against extradition to his native portugal where he's wanted for attaining stolen data auntie's alexy you know she has. thirty one year old drew pinto from portugal might not be as well known as we can exclude founder julian assange but make no mistake about it he is football's biggest whistleblower he's believed to have founded the football league's website exposing the dark side of the beautiful game. and football leagues has indeed shaken the full billing world from an official probe into the cristiano ronaldo rape claims doing an investigation into the financial dealings of the powerhouse of modern european football champions league

quarter finalist manchester city all that and many more emerged thanks to football leagues it was like to see a bigger car with a. missile blowers and i also felt this is the. premier now is the in the field business will have all the people who can move forward and try to do what i think is in fact at least four european states seeking information from pinto to aid their investigations into different cases related to football but they might not get that information because this week been to a loss the legal battle against extradition from hungary to portugal that is despite being represented in court by julian assange just form a lawyer. risks it in light of the european community and more about the very sophisticated structured character of the criminality which kerberos the football

world. pintos legal team argues that if he returns to portugal it's authorities will destroy all the data he possesses on top of that pinto fears for his life by. home after reported death threats to his family some believe that many in portugal the country that sees football as religion would want to extract their revenge on the whistleblower why because not only did he take a swipe at the untouchable portugal's idol cristiana ronaldo but he also targeted the country's superclubs benfica and sporting leagues coming from pinto alleged massive corruption and shady transfer dealings perpetrated by these two all things happening around we've been to have a striking similarity to the case of julian assange with one major difference while the australian whistleblower want to go into any court soon as he is still holed up inside london's ecuadorian embassy pinto is expected to be extradited to portugal on monday to face trial on accusations of data theft after that the fate of him and

the information he carries which could prove essential to multiple scandalous investigations will be completely unknown. reporting from moscow and staying with the saving this is an international for you here in africa. you know world's big partners a lot you can see yours it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need.
