we're expecting an update from canterbury hospital, there are still 36 people in a critical conditionas we have been reporting as well, the number of dead has risen to 50. we will bring you more on that press conference from christchurch hospital as it starts. but we are learning more and more about the victims who died on friday, including some acts of bravery. the brother of one man who was killed has spoken of his pride and the pain at losing his brother who had tried to tackle the gunman. daniela relph has more. so many of those killed had moved to new zealand to find peace and tranquility. but instead they were all victims of a violent attack as they prayed. naeem rashid had been living in new zealand for nine years. his family say he loved his life there. both he and his 21—year—old son, talha, were killed. originally from pakistan, the government there confirmed their death. in a video of the attack, naeem rashid was seen confronting the gunman. i saw that video and the first thing i wanted to see was the look in his eyes. i did not see an iota of fear in those eyes. and that m

good afternoon, canterbury civil defence emergency management.e worked with st john, particularly with mass casualties support roles, at the hospital in particular. we have also set upa hospital in particular. we have also set up a centre at haqqani, along with police, to support the families of the victims and a facility that we are using has been able to bring all of the agencies together to work really effectively —— hagney. all of the agencies together to work really effectively -- hagney. good afternoon, my name is (patchy audio) and i'm from victim support new zealand, since the news of this incident first other filtering through, our organisation has been working hard in the background to put support plans in place to the victims of this awful event. we have had offers of time, money, 24—7 support from our support workers from all over the country and from our volunteers from all over the country. so starting tomorrow will probably be when we (patchy audio) those plans into the support process will last as long as it needs to. thank you. t

i went to see canterbury nursery school and centre for families in bradford. and he wasn't that confident but since being at nursery he has really come along. every day, three—year—old levi looks forward to going to nursery school with his mum. how useful is the nursery for you? it's really useful because it's not too far and they have so many facilities. like, on wednesday, i take the baby for a baby clinic and get her weighed and stuff and he loves nursery. it's in the heart of the canterbury estate in bradford, one of the most deprived areas in england. children here are offered free places from the age of two. we have a much, much higher percentage of children who come from areas of higher deprivation and who have special educational needs, so often children will come to us because other settings were not able to fulfil their needs. it's notjust about getting children ready for school. the centre provides a one—stop shop to help those living in difficult circumstances. for a lot of our families, this food is a lifeline. often parents will go without food t

so, the cases in canterbury have built up to about 28. it now looks like it is slowing.ve quite a lot of people in the new zealand community — young adults and midlife adults who may have missed their measles containing vaccines when they were younger because new zealand's immigration programme was not so successful back then. so far, we're having a good response from our community and it looks like this outbreak will die down pretty quickly. how does this kind of outbreak occur and how serious does it have the potential to be? i think the frustrating thing it's very simple — if we have enough vaccine in a community, you never see measles. so, we've got about 81 countries in the world now that are certified as having eliminated measles. we have done fantastically well with international vaccination programmes between 2010 and ‘17 with vaccination campaigns. we stopped the death of over 21 million children. but in the last couple of years, there has been a bit of a resurgence of measles in different parts of the world. and there's a range of reasons for that. some of them

a notification from police that the lockdown across all christchurch schools all schools in the canterbury region has now been lifted that means children who have been kept in school for quite a long time more than they used to three hours over to from when schools would normally finish they can now go home much to the relief of their parents obviously families of those children will have spent a worrying few hours hoping that all the children will be safe in those schools so police say that means there is still a large police presence across the city but that those children can now go home for the evening what about the mosques the situation at the mosques. well the situation remains unchanged obviously the these two mosques that were the scenes of these horrific acts are now crime scenes but of course there are a number of mosques across the rest of the country is the muslim population is not big at sony about forty six thousand people at the last count but there are mosques around all of the main seems as of new zealand and in much smaller towns as well with these communities will congr

it is at the heart of the canterbury estate in bradford, one of the most deprived areas in england.e places from the age of two. we have a much higher percentage of children who come from areas of high deprivation and who have special educational needs, so children will come to us because their areas were not able to fulfil their needs. it is notjust about getting children ready for school. the centre provides a one—stop shop to help those living in difficult circumstances. for a lot of families, this food as a lifeline, and often parents will go without food to feed the children, so we look after the whole family. in fact, parents say they have been offered a range of support. he was not talking and i was worried about his speech and everything. they have helped him develop his speech and he was coming for about six weeks and now, bless them, you cannot shut him up. does he like the nursery? he is upset because we are really alone here. so now he is really happy. he is really happy here. the government has pledged more funding to maintain nursery schools but, despite that, theirfut

that is why we have immense presence out there across canterbury and right across new zealand.e don't have named or people we are looking for. it would be wrong to assume there is no one else. hywel: the city's emergency services remain on high alert. christchurch's hospital has been treating dozens of people with gunshot wounds and is closed to all other admissions. late into the night, christchurch has remained a city on lockdown. there is genuine fear that there may yet be further attacks. across the country, all mosques have been orded to close their doors, and for the first time, new zealand's rror threat level has been raised to high. the deep sense of shock have zefelt in neand has echoed throughout the world. messages have been sent from the pope, president trump, and the queen. new zealanders areth astonished could have happened. >> you don't think something like this could happen in new zealand, in christchurch of all places, such a small community, so kind and loving. i don't understand why someone would hurt us like t such a way, just like an animal. why would you t

across canterbury and right across new zealand we don't have nine or identified people there we're looking for but it would be wrong to assume that there is no one else 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 me. we are already naming a name through an alleged live stream then yes 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

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. what is very important here is for now police can't even say. if there was one offender or two. definitely know that there are four people in custody they are saying that one of the may not even be connected with the attacks whatsoever but this is really a difficult situation and. we don't know we haven't heard from the man in charge of police that they were still trying to diffuse one of the improvised explosive devices attached to the suspects cars even now so it is clear that it's not all that safe and secure and this is what is making the situation very difficult just a little earlier we heard from new zealand prime minister who had this message for her nation and the rest of the world let's take a listen. 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 right system because we are an on clay for extremism we would chosen for the very fact

thank you so much both of you, from the canterbury interfaith society.he sense of community and bonding that has come about as a result of this act of hatred, as i mentioned i am standing here very close to the al noor mosque, which is where the sites of friday's attacks are, and even though it is raining people continue to come to bring flowers and show messages of support as well. i imagine that will continue throughout the day. nick bowles has quit his local conservative association over a rift over brexit. he has long opposed a no deal it said. —— brexit. he will remain as an mp and continue to be a conservative in parliament. the irony is nick bowles is one of the tory mps who backed remain in the referendum but then supports the prime minister abbas deal. if it comes back to the comments next week he will back it again. if the government has any chance number 10 that need to perceive brexit enthusiasts to swing behind the steel but they hated, in particular the irish backstop. behind the sense, tory whips are trying to persuade them to get behind t

every member of this house who has stood alongside their muslim community, but especially those in canterbury as i conclude, i acknowledge that there are many stories that will have struck all of us stories that will have struck all of us since the 15th of march. ten wish to mention is that of a 71—year—old man who open the door at the al—nuri mosque and said hello and welcome. his final words. he had no idea of the eight that sat behind the door. but his welcome tells us so much. that he was a member of a faith that welcomed all its members, that showed openness and care. i have said any times, mr speaker, we are a nation of 200 at this of these, 160 languages. we open our doors to others and say welcome. and the only thing that must change after the events of friday is that this same door must close on all of those who espouse hate and fear. yes, the person who committed these acts was not from here, he was not raised here, he did not find his ideology here, he did not find his ideology here, but that is not to say that those very same views do not live here. i know that as a nation we wish

within the past hour the chief of surgery at the canterbury district health board gave an update to the media. it is... it isa it is... it is a bit challenging the people, you know, we are all part of a community and we are struggling with it as much as anyone else. this is not something that we expected to see in our environment. we do see gunshots wounds and these injuries but 30-40 gunshots wounds and these injuries but 30—a0 people a day is not what we usually see. our staff are doing remarkably well. part of the reason that we are trying some of the pressure of the system through the week is to allow people to have a bit of a break. most people cope with things pretty well when you are doing things it is when you go home and think about it. in an event like this, particularly gunshot wounds, there are things we need to do initially in terms of saving lives and limbs and the initial surgery, after having the patient triage is to have a look at the vital injuries. making sure we stop bleeding. that the circulation system is preserved. the abcs you probably remember from your cpr days

that's why we've got an immense presence out there across canterbury and right across new zealand, but people that we are looking for. it would be wrong to assume that there is no one else. the city's emergency services remain on high alert. christchurch's hospital has been treating dozens of people with gunshot wounds and is closed to all other admissions. late into the night christchurch has remained a city on lockdown. there is genuine fear that there may yet be further attacks. across the country, all mosques have been ordered to close their doors. for the very first time, new zealand's terror threat level has been raised to high. new zealand's prime minister swiftly condemned the shootings as an act of terror and reassured the country's small muslim population that they should not have to live in fear. the deep sense of shock felt in new zealand is echoed around the world, messages have been sent from the pope, president trump and the queen. new zealanders are astonished that this could have happened. you don't think something like this could happen in new zealand or christchurch,

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 want to police were indeed quick to react to this and the caught one of the suspected offenders they've been given a lot of credit for that however it is absolutely astonishing how no agency both in new zealand or austria. i knew about the perpetrators or their preparations before hand even though new zealand didn't have a history of these kind of tragedies at all now the problem minister earlier she spoke as well she's had her own press conference had something very emotional to say about why our nation suffered this. we new zealand. we were not a target because we are a safe for those who fight. 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 fact that we none of these things. because we represent diversity kindness compassion for home for those who share our values. for those who need it and always values i can assure you will not and can

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 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

in new zealand christchurch is famous super rugby team the canterbury crusaders played its first match since fifty people were killed in the mosque shooting last week the nine time champions held a minute of silence alongside the new south wales were ahead of their game in sydney they went on to lose for the first time in twenty games because of the shooting the crusaders are considering changing their name because of its association with the medieval religious wars between christians and muslims. also in australia cricketers beat pakistan and their first one day international in the u.a.e. chasing to eighty one to when australian captain aaron finch scored a century and sharjah shaun marsh was finished up with an unbeaten ninety one australia beat back to stand by eight wickets with an over to spare. well they were a great string of matches in the second round of the miami open novak djokovic is off and running and his attempt to won a record seventh title there the world number one beat bernard tomic in straight sets on friday it's the sixth time he's beaten the australian in his man

i want to also acknowledge that christchurch already, and canterbury schools, already have embedded withinmental health and support workers under the mana aka programme, rolled out in response to the trauma attached to the earthquakes and the impact that had on the community, so that does mean that our schools in this region already have extra levels of support which not every school would usually have. at this time, i am happy to ta ke have. at this time, i am happy to take any questions that you may have, acknowledging that at the conclusion of this press conference i will be travelling to the hospital. i will not eat taking a contingent to that meeting, our intent is to try to ensure that medical professionals are able to focus on the work they are doing. inaudible question. yes. obviously right now the recognition is coming directly from members of the public who have seen their response. they we re who have seen their response. they were not here in the building today. i certainly asked after them, and i have asked the area commander to pass on the thanks of all new zealanders. they w

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 now everyone is still looking at the safety the security of the people in that city and also across new zealand we heard from the police chief that at that point at the point when he was speaking one improvised explosive devices that were one of the explosive devices that were attached to the vehicles belonging to the suspect or possibly used by the suspects wasn't even diffused at that time which really brings in more questions also something else important he said again. questions will be asked about that why there was nothing on these people before the attack happened. either in new zealand or australia the intelligence of these two countries didn't know anything about the attackers beforehand now speaking of the prime minister who had a press conference just a little earlier that was about an hour before the police commissioner i just want to play a message from her she said something very important to the nation an

on friday we heard from the head surgeon of the canterbury health board.is, uh, it is a bit challenging for people, you know, we are all part of the community and we are struggling with it as much as everyone else is. this is not something that we expected to see in our environment. we do see gunshots wounds, and do see all these type injuries but a0 or 50 people in a day is more than what we should see. so our staff are doing remarkably well. part of the reason that we are trying to take some of the pressure off the system through the week is to allow people to have a bit of a break. most people cope with things pretty well when you are doing things, but it's when you go home and you think about it. when people come into hospital in an event like this, particularly gunshot wounds, there are things that we need to do initially in terms of saving life and saving limbs, so our initial surgery, after having the patient triaged is to deal with the life—threatening problems — what we call damage—control surgery, that's trying to stop bleeding, making aure the a
