Is Justice Commissioner consider legal action against cyprus is efforts to sell citizenship the latest developments in reports from aljazeera investigative units plus. A 4th night of demonstrations in wisconsin over the Police Shooting of an unarmed black man. And im santa how much now have all the sport sports teams across the United States boycott matches theres a protest against that shooting and. Our top story this hour a step toward for relatives of the victims of the worst terrorist attack in new zealands history the gunman who killed 51. 00 muslim worshipers last year was sentenced to life in prison without parole for instant terences the selfconfessed white supremacist who was responsible for the attacks on 2 mosques in christchurch when a has this report which after a harrowing emotional 4 days in the high court in christchurch just as cameron manda delivered Brenton Terrance sentence on each of the 31. 00 shots the murder charges walker. Was sent to live in prison. All of it you see the citizens who are tearing showed little emotion even when being told he would spend the rest of his life in prison outside the court there was relief and gratitude that the convicted murderer and terrorist had been given a sentence never before handed down a new zealand but it was mixed with the realisation that the pain will go on. No punishment. Will bring our loved ones back. Will respect our justice system. And then using Muslim Community. No most of them as well was told to go against the court was told terence actions after he entered the 2 mosques on march the 15th last year were premeditated and calculated he had studied the layout of the buildings and when they would be busy and in interviews with police expressed disappointment that he hadnt killed more worshippers his view of incar extreme arms it was brutal beyond. Your rations in human. Week the sentence brought him into 4 days of statements by survivors and family members of those killed at least 90 statements were given some of them expressing anger some offering forgiveness all of them emotional the Prime Minister spoke soon after and expressed his support for them and the sentence the trauma of much 15 is not easily healed but today i hope is the last we we have any cause to hear or the name of the terrorist behind it has deserves to be a life time of complete and utter silence. The sentencing of brinton tyrant closes a chapter in one of new zealands darkest days and means no one has to relive the events in a parole hearing but for the relatives of the 51 people whose lives he took away and those he injured trying to recover will be a long difficult process wayne hey al jazeera. Well earlier we spoke to leon del zeal whos the mayor of Christ Church and she had a message of healing and unity for the people of her city. I was relieved when i heard that there was the result i know there many of us standing alongside our muslim communities m who had been so tragically affected by the events of march 5th day were late when they who today they seem to was without parole it had to be life but to make it without parole means that nobody ever has to thank about fronting up to a parole board and and having to argue for that the man sections couldnt anyway lay to anything less than the aged i believe that the community has changed and changed on march 4th jane and we saw it and the response from the whole community you know the tribute wall that developed over the days that followed which really did indicate an outpouring of grief and compassion and love and then of the one that really sticks in my mind was the call to prayer one week later standing and south hadley park opposite now in the war mosque. Just thousands of crushed resistance to quietly and silently to seen the strong message to the Muslim Community that were here weve got your back and their sense of togetherness the spirit of togetherness that has brought our i believe will will see us through and that is what we must continue to demonstrate to all about communities in the air and their diversity as a city saying that this is a place that there is no no place for height analysis but i just want to pay tribute to the courage of every single one of those people who stood up and court and made the statement. That victims that courageous individuals who deserve our respect they were. Fied and i just my heart goes out to each and every one of them and i thank them for what they have been prepared to do for our city and we will continue to Work Together to make sure that this is a city where everyone has their seats along i must say with the sunshine rahman is a Media Spokesperson for the Islamic Womens Council of new zealand and she joins us now from hamilton in new zealand good to have you with us on the news hour lets just start with your reaction to that sentence would you say justice has been served he thought it was the toughest thing to sound a new zealand could be given that was the scene terms that many of the terms hit us who are misstatements i think that would be relationally him that it was not anything in the mix an imperial to the person. Would you say that this nie represents the ends of the ordeal for muslims and indeed minorities and not just christchurch but across new zealands. Its the end of the Court Process and there in itself was a harrowing perseus and were really happy that they did so but this is not the end there is still. To. See what to princes spaces and i think we as a country need to come to the end restart energy and time and making sure that people dont go down this path again what would that involve then what would you say needs to happen to make Christs Church and new zealands a much more tolerant and welcoming place for minorities because you look at the the Prime Minister just in there are dire and shes always been the poster child for the response to this kind of tragedy what more needs to be done with jews say to to make things better for muslims in new zealand. I think needs to be a wide range of changes 1st of all through government through some of the late slay ssion that will allow more accountability when people are making extreme statements but i think we also need work in the Community Activities that bring different communities together that allow us to understand each other in see each others humanity and i think thats the most powerful picked of those but dumb statements is that we the world actually got to see the humanity got to see the pain and suffering in their experiences in a way that i think has happened before in this country. And in terms of why its our actions that people should take not just in new zealand but looking worldwide we see divisiveness communities being pitted against each other around the world whatever it should people be making to try and understand minority communities and come together what should we be doing to try and combat this divisiveness that we are seeing. First of all we need more accountability of our leaders get together and hold your leadership to account. As the most important we cant do anything by cells but as we come together and stand together in solidarity seen such huge research and we saw that in new zealand after the shootings with tens of thousands of people came out. Any kind of activity even the small things like inviting neighbors over to a team doing each others face to walls but also trying to get into those more deeper more Difficult Conversations especially when its our friends and our families who are saying things that we know are not acceptable really based way to counter the hearing lobbing in healing conversations and trying to show them a bit a point of view ok and my great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us here on the aljazeera news are. The public can is the director and principal at 36 parallel thats a Political Risk consultancy he explains how the case has been playing a new zealands domestic politics. Its an Election Year and 2 things have happened 2 legal things have happened that are not entirely salyut jory the 1st is yes the foreign minister minister deputy Prime Minister he wants to do a little payback to the australians because the australians have been sending new zealand born criminals back to new zealand even though theres no bilateral extradition treaty or anything of the sort that covers prisoner exchanges and so once that peters is in election bowl and he has decided that the best thing to do is start you that it will cost us too much to imprison him here in new zealand 1800000. 00 a year apparently and so itd be best to to send him back so this is an internal politics the other legal aspect of this is that the 2 main right wing parties in new Zealand National party and the act party are now want to repeal the gun reform legislation that occurred in the wake of the march 15th massacres they want to do away with the ban on semiautomatic weapons high capacity magazines and the like.

Well this is a dreadful case a real tragedy and one that prompted protests that happened around the same time as the killing of george floyd in the United States and prompted palestinian lives matzoh protests also listing rare expressions of regret from senior israeli political leaders as well when we spoke to a father who is 32 years old when he was killed shortly after his death he said that he was really very childlike really enjoyed cartoons and dressing well and had recently been given the responsibility and freedom of walking himself by himself to his special School Inside the old city in occupied East Jerusalem one of the teachers we were told especially introduced him to soldiers at a checkpoint nearby to ensure that they understood his condition but on the day in question so that if of may he arrived early in the morning it was seen to be in the opinion of one of those Israeli Security forces members to be behaving suspiciously potentially carrying a weapon to his colleagues who chased. One of them shooting at him and he ended up trying to hide inside a trash remember on the corner and it was that the 2 fatal shots were fired into his torso now the Senior Commander of those 2 Israeli Security forces who ended up there with him so that he told his colleagues junior colleague to stop. He told him to stop twice even after the 1st shot was fired and he said that it was a closed place according to the reporting and with no way to escape from it he didnt attack do anything to definitely not resisting he didnt endangered me in that situation i was junior colleagues and he didnt hear anything that he was just carrying out the operational procedures that he was told to do so because he felt that they were dealing with a terrorist and harry does the family expects a conviction to come out of all of this. Oh no theyve expressed expressed skepticism about the prospects of getting justice for the killing of the sunbathed also expressed frustration about the length of time that the investigation has taken and indeed if you look at the wider context of this the Human Rights Organization he had bet salum has done an investigation into israeli investigations of such killings and found nearly a decade in 200. 00 such investigations more than 200. 00 only 3 convictions were 5 doubt and even in the case of some of those convictions if you think of. He is a 17 year old who was killed in the occupied west bank in 24 change in that case the Security Forces officer was convicted of negligence by using live fire instead of instead of rubber bullets in another very famous case in hebron the killing of dough shots al sharif who had been in the process of carrying out an attack at a checkpoint was shot injured lying on the ground in the was then shot several minutes later again as he lay there again the officer in that instance l. O. s area served just half of a 18 month sentence and so there is some level of distrust as you might expect among palestinians more generally and indeed the family in this instance the investigation we understand is due to wrap up fairly shortly and that its conclusions will be handed over to the prosecutors arafats their life as a master mason thank you very much indeed i reckon laura has made landfall in the southern United States with forecasters warning of unsupervised football storm surges winds of more than 240 Kilometers Per Hour have been recorded in southwest louisiana near the border with texas tens of thousands of people are without power state governors are worried that some of the half a 1000000 coastal residents under Evacuation Orders have chosen to stay put.

Thank you and thank you for having me and. Yeah indeed the virus has not been their political those are many have said. I mean why or why you know many people who have plans and whatever to underestimate like ive said around 45000000 people in the region could be open to booty others have increased their work. Others havent because there was because i mean that have benefited from many of of the policies that have been in a good. A system which for the for its been responsive to going to sponsor the condemning let alone that many many of the horse. Many of these billionaires have benefited from from the from situation that has been from across the been going on for 4 months now this is i mean that it really started to reality of the region where this is i mean on going to the not only for this year but but for many years where a few roads much of the people who are under sort of this is also or an indication of of the unfair policies that have been dominating this leads in for at least 10 years and and more what taught us more about these unfair tax policies why do you think that the situation is able to to exist why is there not more of an effort made to tax the wealthy people in this region is it for cultural reasons or he just explained this to us. Yeah i mean we have a lot of reasons for that i mean concert reasons would be the easier way to go around but things are more structure than that its not about the culture of the region of course it is about the policies that have been united for years none especially so as 2010 and to be out of things in the region that hasnt been a push for of course an aggressive push for austerity policies in the region in many countries are going on with austerity measures and this austerity measures have had will have contributed to sifting the docs a burden from that its just to the to too hard to households from corporations to our schools for so for example in indonesia for the past 10 years a continuation of a corporations to dothan which has decreased by 37 percent while the contribution of households are increased by 10 percent and the present for us that it has been paid by by the quarter because the governments have been refusing to increase that and on that it is so when we have more to go. But it is the poor that pay for the true increasing the true increasing in the back of the exit and there are many reasons one of them is it is or is it it cuts here where or where governments and people who are older people are in many instances they they blend and so you have policies that favor lids and you have this you have this also willingness in order to to have a quick profit at the expense of more productive economy was so horrible so i mean why that that its more when you can have more of that and when you can make all other people pay for your expense of policies and for this but also that at that happening ok and thats a fascinating report. To talk us through it thank you so much thats not bill abdo there from Oxfam International thank you very much indeed. Yeah. Well irans currency has lost more than half its value in the last 4 months leaving iranians struggling to make ends meet the crude a virus pandemic and u. S. Sanctions are causing more economic damage as a big sums it up from to her on. A struggling economy rising inflation and now the iranian currency is losing value fast the devaluation of the riyadh has caused the cost of living to rise and left the government and the central bank question for ideas about how to ease the financial pain at least in our i think it would we cant deny the role of sanctions while our economy is shrinking were trying to create economic stability and prevent negative factors affecting our economy sanctions undoubtedly have their impact one of the ways to supply hard currency is to buy it from export as who bring their earnings into the country we buy hard currency from them based on the Central Banks instructions. But the government is blaming exporters for keeping their money overseas. With the currency losing value some exporters prefer to keep the dollars abroad or in hard cash the government wants them to bring those dollars back to iran and use iranian banks to exchange them but they Exchange Rate offered by the banks is less than what they can get on the free market the governments offering 190000. 00 results to the dollar whereas exporters can get around 220000. 00 results elsewhere its that lack of access to bond currently the one the fact is driving the devaluation of the real the government has put increased pressure on exports spending exports licenses and the state bank their u. S. Dollars in iran but theyre not just for the fun and the whole you know ill throw some exporters dont return dollars into the country because if they sell us in the free market theyll earn more everybody naturally seeks his own interests Government Income sources have been restricted dressed sickly and oil income which is the main source of revenue has been reduced over the past few years and exported to kind under the pressure of sanctions. Economists also think that years of government mismanagement is the major factor for the current crisis. But the governments inability to find new financial sources when oil revenues dropped they again raised Exchange Rates in order to fill their budget gaps that is the reason for the current turmoil the government leaders say theyre confident the reality claw back any losses but with unfavorable Exchange Rates offered by the central bank theres little incentive for businesses to use the Banking System to sell their dollars raising the prospect of the real sinking of a further said big aljazeera that run. The Foreign Ministers are holding talks in berlin on easing tensions between greece and turkey over an Energy Dispute in the Eastern Mediterranean both nations have been holding military exercises near a patch of water they both claim a turkish ship is carrying out Drilling Research in the area on wednesday greece said it would extend its claim over waters in the ionian c. Further to the west. We are all concerned about the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean i welcome your efforts to find a constructive way forward. Im in Constant Contact with the greece and turkey my message is that the situation must be resolved in a spirit of solidarity in line with International Law dialogue and the escalation are in everybodys interest lets get more now from dominic cain hes live for us and berlin a dominant group just been listening to the concern being expressed by the nato secretary general but has there been any actual progress made in these meetings that are happening when it comes to reducing tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean. The problem in so far as assessing whether progress is being made is that remember one side is not party to this meeting one side is not there the turkish side turkey is not a member of the European Union and therefore its foreign minister is not present so its clear that when the Foreign Ministers have that is gushing as they will hear the greek side the cypriot side but nothing from ankara other than the comments emerging both from president president aerator one yesterday and indeed the comments coming from the turkish government today the turkish government has been saying that it believes that france is stoking tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean in so far as the french element of a multination military exercises underway between france italy greece and Cyprus Turkish government very unhappy about that now the thing to say is that in so far as the practicality of whats being discussed here in berlin we understand that the e. U. High Representative Mr bottle has been floating a range of Different Things that may emerge one would be sanctions perhaps now when he was asked about this yesterday he said he was not prepared to go into any detail about it but certainly thats what the speculation is that that may be something thats discussed thats not to so thats going to be agreed but it may well be discussed. And dominate certainly the Eastern Mediterranean tension is there a pressing matter but its not the only pressing concern when it comes to see the e. U. Foreign ministers just give us a sense of what else theyll be discussing on there quite a hefty agenda has to be set. Well the thing that thats underlying all of this is what the ear is referring to is its strategic compass for the next 2 years now all points on that compass seem to be the southeast for the Eastern Mediterranean or Eastern Europe now thats below us in the situation there and we know that dog who we heard just shortly just just then we heard from the shot and back talking about the east mediterranean but in his meeting with Angela Merkel the german chancellor he also spoke about the situation in belarus because he was angry at the suggestion that nato was building up its forces on the board on its borders with b. Other us and source only there is a feeling both in nato but also amongst the e. U. That theyre trying to encourage the opposition inside belarus whats at the same time trying to make clear that theyre not trying to intervene or interfere in the internal of of another european country ok dominic kane theyre bringing us up to date from berlin thanking the european Justice Commissioner says hell consider legal action to stop cyprus from selling citizenship he was reacting to a week of reports from al jazeera investigative units the cyprus papers reveal dozens of criminals and high level political figures who have bought socalled golden passports Deborah Davis reports.
