, as soon press conference from wellington, as soon as press conference from wellington, as soon as that it live. i know the question hywel, that many people will be asking is is there any update on whether there is another shooter on the loose? that will be the first question that i sure the police are asked. the last time they spoke they did leave open the suggestion that they may be another offender in the area. now, people clearly hope that there is not still a government on the loose. it is clear that one person has apprehended and images are now being shared online at that person wearing military fatigues, someone matching the description of someone in military gear, who had a helmet and a bullet—proof vest, walking into the mosque and opening fire with a semiautomatic weapon. but clearly, the police were concerned enough to keep the city on lockdown and to make that warning public for people to stay off the streets, in fear that they would either be an accomplice on the loose or potentially someone who they feared would be inspired and would react within christchurch, following on

last few days since the attack took place. today i went to kilbirnie mosque to lay flowers with wellington were —— mayorjustin lester and lay flowers with wellington were —— mayor justin lester and met lay flowers with wellington were —— mayorjustin lester and met with this in the community leaders and their message was one of gratitude to the outpouring of love that they have experienced from the people of wellington. and an acknowledgement of the grief that the community feels. as the police commissioner confirmed this morning, 50 people have been killed and 3a people remain in christchurch hospital, 12 of them in the intensive care unit in critical condition. a four —year—old girl remains in a critical condition at starship hospital in auckland. i can confirm that the bodies of those who have died are beginning to be returned to their families from this evening. it is likely, however, to be a small number to likely, however, to be a small numberto begin likely, however, to be a small number to begin with. that was a ministerjacinta ardern speaking there. there will be a press conference

so much of the 8% wellington own s. but it raises a larger issue and when we talk about a lot here.at do you do when you're an active manager and charging real fees and competing against the etfs and the index funds of the world you have to show that you're actually doing something and so even though wellington hasn't talked to me, i talked to a number of different people and as you might expect in governance and who might advise on these things, they expect this will be more of the norm. newburger did it, wellington has done it, the large institutions are going to get more active in a way which is going to make it harder to get m&a done. >> i like to choose my index fund by lowest fee that's what john vogel taught me if i have an index fund that has to analyze bristol-myers celgene, i have to pay people. i can't just do robo. >> or rely on iss. >> you got to do your own work what happens, my fees, they go up and do i really want that? >> fees are not going up because it is so incredibly competitive. and really where the pressure is being felt is by the active managers who are tryin

in wellington new zealand's prime minister met with muslim community needs to again stress the solidarity and support and around the country at christian church services muslim victims were in the thoughts and prayers more than thirty people remain in hospital some still in a critical condition many of the patients that are being already gone from the incident require more surgeries as a consequence of the complexity of the nature of the injuries in a christ church where house volunteers are giving their time and florists their flowers to make bouquet to lay on coffins each one represents a life a family member they were a bomber day it's. brother or sister. church of sound it's sorry. there will be fifty bouquets for fifty newly dug graves under thomas al-jazeera cross church. well our correspondent in his also in the city is joining us from outside christchurch hospital when let's talk about the fact that some of those bodies are going to be returned to the families there were comments being made about the speed at which the police have been working to try to produce some sort of defini

she joins me live from new zealand's capital, wellington . thank you so much for your time, nicole.e to reform gun control? the first reaction of all of licensed firearm owners in new zealand and across new zealand, the public across new zealand, the public across new zealand itself, is one where we are all absolutely in shock, we arejust where we are all absolutely in shock, we are just beyond grief with what has occurred here in new zealand for yesterday, new zealand lost its innocence and this effect will be majorfor lost its innocence and this effect will be major for everybody, including the licensed firearm owners, so we see that there is a need for our government and our police, the politicians, the firearms licensed owners and the whole of new zealand's community to have a look at where the failures may have occurred that allowed this to happen. and it may mean having a look at our firearms legislation. there is obviously a lot of shock in new zealand about this incident. and one of the issues being focused on is gun control because we have been told the guns are obtained by

agencies are already convening in wellington. it's my expectation once i arrive and have been briefed i intend to speak again publicly after that point. i'm happy to take questions. it's only a matter of a few hours ago. of course i was advised of the situation and it was an evolving situation. again, public reporting took place not long after events began unfolding. but as for the precise details at this stage i'll wait until i have a bit more of precision from a briefing directly from the police when i arrive in wellington. >> now, you're listening now to a briefing from the new zealand prime minister talking about the shooting, a very serious situation, a firearm situation, a firearm incident in christchurch. again that's according to the prime minister and police as well. they're saying the city of christchurch is in lockdown and also all schools as well. and they're waiting to get more information, asking people to stay in place even though families may be separated. reportedly this incident happened at a mosque, and there's

passed next time all right we'll leave it there we thank you very much for speaking to us from wellington thank you. now france's air accident investigation agency now has the black boxes from the ethiopian airlines jet that crashed on sunday killing all one hundred fifty seven people on board it released this image of the flight data recorder showing the crash proof recording chip intact it will be analyzed along with the cockpit voice recorder and u.s. federal aviation administration says all boeing seven three seven. will remain grounded until its software is upgraded tested and installed. now critics are questioning why it took us all for it is days to follow the lead of other countries on airlines and grounding the jets has been looking at the power that boeing wields in washington it's really u.s. president donald trump made it clear on thursday he really didn't want to ground boeing seven thirty seven max planes grounding was a big thing and it's a great company it's a truly great company and hopefully they'll figure it out very quickly the u.s. was one of the last major countries

in wellington, prime ministerjacinda ardern made her own emotional tribute at the city's biggest mosquehis grief, there is also anger. prime minister arden today confirmed her office did receive an e—mail copy of the killer's political declaration just before the attacks took place. i was one of more than 30 recipients of a manifesto that was mailed out nine minutes before the attack took place. it did not include a location. it did not include specific details. back in christchurch, a sports team has come to lay flowers. their goalie is among the dead. there will be some who say what happened here is horrific but it is nothing to do with me, it is not my religion, it is not my community. but that is absolutely not the message being sent by the people of christchurch. we're all one people, we're all one race, we're all human beings. we love each other, we have to love each other otherwise this sort of rubbish happens. we have to love each other. this city's name will now forever be linked with friday's attacks. but people here want the world to know it does not represent them, that they
