anders breivik, who has become kind of a hero to the far right.e is this kind of right-wing international group of terrorists who communicate online, but we don't target them in the same way that we target jihadist organizations. we do a lot of counterprogramming. we do a lot of counter propaganda to try to take down, for example, islamic state websites. we don't have the same kind of effort to take down white supremacists or far right-wing websites, and we need to get after it because otherwise, you're going to see more massacres, more body counts, more carnage and horror like this. >> do you think it's unfair -- a couple questions quickly. do you think it's unfair to put some onus on what happened to this president today? would that be reckless to do that? >> no. i think it's fair. the amalnalogy that i would dras trump's relation to these right-wing acts of terrorism is kind of similar to the saudi government's relationship to -- they're not telling people to go out and kill but these spreading ideology and hatred that inspires people. >> why t

discuss motive, the suspect refers to dylann roof and writes he was inspired by white supremacist anders breivik who killed 7 people in norway eight years ago. he does try to explain his own breaking point, came in 2017. the french presidential election of what he describes as an antiwhite ex-banker and the terror related death of an 11-year-old swedish girl run down by a muslim terrorist in a stolen truck in stockholm, a crime he writes he could no longer ignore. in his 87 pages, the suspect does make one reference to donald trump. he writes, are you a supporter? asking himself. as a symbol of renewed white identity, and common purpose, he answers, sure. as a policy maker and leader, dear god, no. drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. >> so even after 49 muslims were murdered in a hate-fueled attack, president trump still won't recognize white nationalism as a growing threat. >> can you speak today about white nationalism, do you see it as a rising threat around the world? >> i don't really. i think it is a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. i guess if you look at what happened

tarrant also praised anders breivik, the norwegian white supremacist who murdered 77 people in norwayin 2011. the manifesto was also rife with references to racist online means him and three other people -- two men and one woman -- were detained nearby, but at least one of them has already been released. new zealand's prime minister jacinda ardern described today as one of new zealand's darkest days. >> it is clear this can only be described as a terrorist attack. from what we know, it does appear to have been well planned . two explosive devices attached to suspects vehicles have now been found and they have been disarmed. there are currently four individuals who have been apprehended, but three are connected to this attack who are currently in custody. one of which has publicly stated that they were australian-born. these are people who i would describe as having extremist views, that have absolutely no place in new zealand. in fact, have no place in the world. we have undoubtedly experienced an attack today that is unprecedented, unlike anything we have experienced before. but as i

to punish immigrants and take revenge against them used by a new zealand shooter and also by anders breivik in 2011, the mass murderer who killed 77 people and left a 1,500 page manifester saying he wants to punish europe and for integrated muslims. we saw in quebec, two years ago, right? the shooter who was anti-immigrant, anti-muslim. he went and killed six people. where? at a mosque. also, i want to make this point and connection. this ideology, this conspiracy theory has been mainstreamed, being bold here, and you can connect the dots. this has been mainstreamed by republican elected officials such as congressman steve king who sworn by the replacement theory and has tweeted about it. we cannot replace or civilization with their babies. right? so donald trump in the midterm elections in 2018, when he's promoting the anti-semitic conspiracy of george soros, hungarian billionaire, they are doing to invade us, that language sounds very similar to the language used in this manifesto. that's why there's a link here. there's a reason why the number one domestic terror threat in america accord

so, in this particular piece, the new zealand terrorist cited previous manifestos by anders breivik in united states, and he's clearly emulating what he sees there. what's tricky with these kinds of documents is that they're not really confessional documents. so for instance, this particular document is really full of things that the author thought were jokes or things that were meant to provoke news coverage in some way that don't necessarily reflect really what he thought or what he was trying to achieve. he was trying to get the maximum bang for his buck and get a lot of headlines going. >> j.m. burger, thank you for joining us with your insight. >> thank you. >>> the president accused of trying to incite violence by warning that his supporters in the military and the police would be, quote, tough. >>> also, we're now learning the pilot's final actions before the ethiopian jet crash, including a mysterious development about the speed of that plane.

he cited among his influences the norwegian mass murderer, anders breivik.ad something to look out. this is, rightly, a moment to concentrate on event inside new zealand but it raises concerns for many others naturally, there has been an outpouring of concern from world leaders, because the police in new zealand have made clear they consider this an ongoing operation. in this country, the united kingdom, the police authority announced they are going to be stepping up the presence of uniformed officers around mosques in the uk. also, at leadership level, we know ben wallace and the home secretary are talking to the security services to see what more can be done to ensure the security and mosques, because obvious point is this, there could be copycat operations, they could even be a wider organisation behind us, we simply don't know at this early phase. really, around the world, people are looking to their countries and saying, where can we improve security because of this? big early on because of this horrible incident, new zealand authorities were saying the
