Well holly karen is a reporter with news hope she joins us now live from christchurch holly just give us a sense of the feeling inside court and outside of court today. Well inside course it was incredibly emotional as justice mandel was handing down his seem to he took a moment to read the names of every single vote and it was so emotional and cool that the court had to bring in extra boxes of tissues and outside court was just beautiful to say crowds and crowds of people gathered in the freezing cold waiting for hours for the survivors when they emerged from court just once again to show them that we are one i was interested to see the new Zealand Media collectively agreed to limit or censor reporting of the trial in a bid to limit the broadcasting of tyrants ideology i mean in my experience even in new zealand never seen anything like it is that reflective do you think of where the country is at trying to tackle this this ideology. I think youre right kim it was something that we had never experienced before and this was new zealand 1st in terms of what we were dealing with but really what they did was they sit embargoes twice a day once at 1 oclock and one at 5 oclock for when they could release the information it wasnt since it actually throughout the court case but it was just the air to make sure that we understood the the dignity of the Court Procedure because we really didnt know what we were going into and with the defendant would behave in self or not and what we would see half an inside court so thats why they put that process in place and we were lucky in the end that we were able to report everything that did happen inside it just came out at those 2 different times throughout the day i was interested also to see this describe this attack described as the end of innocence for new zealand kiwis sort of used to thinking oh this is this is something that only happened. You know in other parts of the world whats your take. Absolutely i think potentially naively way like to think or above that sort of thing that doesnt happen in new zealand but i think its been an opportunity for every single new zealand to take a good hard look at themselves what is it that we stand for and i think what happened was that we all got united saying we stand against terrorism and that we really needed to to move forward and embrace the different cultures with the new zealand that make up the country that that is new zealand.
