While our White House Correspondent kimberly helka explains the symbolism is depends use to get that message across. For me henry is the site and the inspiration of the starspangled banner for the American National anthem and this was really a message to a lot of the what many would call the chaos in the United States right now that is playing out on the streets and this is really going to be a dividing line for ordinary americans a choice when they go to the ballot box in november are they going to choose this law and order message that were hearing from the trap administration or are we going to hear the message from the democrats which has included Defunding Police departments or bringing in a different type of policing in order to try and quell not only the end rest but also the disproportionate number of killings of africanamericans by Police Officers often white Police Officers so you heard him speaking there about the end rast that is now taking place in can osha and wisconsin but also on the streets of Portland Oregon and elsewhere this is really something that has a nerve to Many Americans and this is what this is really a stray sion is counting on in terms of trying to pick up the votes after lagging so badly in the polls due to the concerns about cope with 19 that have really destroyed the economy donald trump was counting on running on for reelection the gunman behind new zealands worst mass shooting has been sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole brenton tyrant killed 51 muslim worshippers in Christ Church last year the relatives of some of his victims spoke outside of court just a short time ago they say theyre pleased that justice has now been. Today. The legal procedures for this heinous crime. Has been done. No punishment. Will bring a loved ones back. We respect our Justice System and the new Zealand Muslim community. And. Non muslim as well were still together against the hate and we set out on a model for the wall ron boswell has more from outside the court in Christ Church the gunman in the murder of brinton tara and his things seem tense to life behind bars with no parole this is unprecedented this is never happened before in new zealand history guilty on 51 counts of murder 40 of a team to murder in one terrorism charge the victims and their families since in the course solving is the same tense was handed down while terence said the cold in didnt waver is the judge told him how long he would be seen tends to life behind bars this week has been so its so difficult for the victims and their families having to front up to court and face the gunmen in the eye talking about their experiences and how their lives have been changed in this really were expecting to hear from the ground 60 people 60 victim impact statements were supposed to be presented by the end of the wake that number was closer to 100 many people feeling empowered to confront the gunman the victims head wanted terrence to spend life behind bars and thats what thats whats being delivered here today so no doubt there will be some relief many people gathering outside the court behind me erupting into applause. Was handed down and no doubt there will be cause for celebration tonight as they can close this chapter in their lives lets get more on this joining us live on the Program Correspondent wayne hay who covered the shooting extensively for us here on this channel he joins us from bangkok so wayne weve heard 3 days of profound heartbreaking statements from survivors and the families. Yes and those statements and the very long sentence delivered by the judge in the high court in christchurch brings an end to this chapter some 18 months after the attack in christchurch carried out by brenton terror and as mentioned in that report there was an incredibly credibly emotional seeing during those 3 days of statements given by survivors of the attack relatives of those who were killed as well and thats something that the judge commented on way back in march of this year when terence entered a supplier a surprise guilty plea that of course meant that they would be no trial possibly no chance for the family members of those who were killed survivors as well to have their say in court he said they wanted to provide that opportunity for them so that is exactly what happened during this 4 day sentencing hearing in the high court in christchurch well lets have a look back now at that tragic day in march last year. At just after 140 in the afternoon on the 15th of march last year Emergency Services received the 1st calls a shooting was under way during friday prayers at the el nor mosque in central christchurch for one gun when the federal. Police force top in here there were some people injured in total 44. 00 worshipers were killed by brenton terrence at el norte in an attack he lived streamed on the internet he then moved on to his 2nd target across town the lynwood mosque where he killed a further 7 people the youngest victim just 3 years old the eldest 77 he was arrested by police as he was making his way to a 3rd mosque in the town nearby it is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack. That was determined because of the preplanned nature of the attack and the ideology terence subscribe to the australian had studied the layout of the mosques and their busiest times he had uploaded a manifesto detailing his White Supremacy beliefs and his hatred of muslims and non european immigrants as the Wider Population rallied around the new Zealand MuslimCommunity Attention turned to the high powered weapons he fired how he obtained them and in some cases modified them legally i can tell you one thing right now our gun laws will change less than a month later most semiautomatic weapons became illegal and the government buyback scheme for guns began in march this year terrance surprise prosecutors by entering a guilty plea that meant did be no trial but the judge wanted some of the 40 survivors and family members of those killed to have the opportunity to speak directly to the gunman in court more than 60 statements were given during the sentencing he had no issue with strong it doesnt even know. His own race is this how it his hide his big powerful. And short lives a little in the form of. She never even saw the child. It took something away from me the sentencing of brenton tyrant may help provide some closure and healing but his hatred and terror against the lives of so many and one of new zealands darkest days will never be forgotten. What we heard earlier from the imaam of elmore mosque that was the 1st mosque that Brinton Terence went to saying that of course no punishment is enough for the crimes that were committed by him but this was a sentence that was expected and im sure is welcomed by most then its a sentence that is really as harsh as the judge could have gone giving a sentence of life with out the opportunity for him to be paroled or even the opportunity to go before the parole board there is no death sentence in new zealand so this was as far as the judge could go and its a sentence life without parole that weve never seen in new zealand before when thank you very much protests have continued for a fortnight in the us city of commotion as anger grows over the Police Shooting of the black man jacob blake the white house says its helped with the deployment of more National Guard troops following sometimes violent demonstrations in the most serious incident 2 people were shot dead a young white man has been arrested.

We saw an armored personnel carrier just a little bit earlier clear the town square now only temporarily they used tear gas to get rid of people but it is really another hour or so usually until the night tends to go seriously downhill so let me show you how these towns prepare for this this is normally a vacation town and so restaurants like this one would normally be filled but theyre not just closed for the early curfew that goes through sunday night theyre also boarded up and thats because theyre afraid of looting and in fact when people live up stairs above the shops they put out signs like this that warn there are people up there thats a sign saying please dont fire bomb this place because there are human lives above and often they leave a little supportive black lives matter sign as well so right now its fairly quiet we hear some helicopters but all we know that there are many more police here tonight that have been here on other nights and things dont generally start at this hour so were waiting to see what happens.
