Two mosques. Cnn International CorrespondentAlexander Field is in christchurch and spoke to some of those who lived through that horrific shooting. Reporter in the massacre in christchurch, where seven muslims were killed, amid kahn narrowly saved his own life. He missed me. And i ran back to the mosque and tell everyone to go to the ground because there is someone with the gun that will shoot everyone. Then everyone went to the ground and then he started shooting through the windows. Inside, he found a friend pleading. I knew he was shot in the right arm. So i went there, and held him, he was asking for some water, i said calm down, the police are here and stuff, just because, and the gunman came through the window again and shot him when i was holding him, in the head, and he was dead. Kahn came to new deeld 12 years ago seeking safety, a refugee from kabul, afghanistan. His afghan uncle, among those killed in the gunfire on new zealands darkest day, at a second mosque, just minutes away. Ka lied elshado was inside the mosque when the bullets began flying there. Some of my friends died yesterday. One of them this morning. And one of my friends is still in the hospital because he got one shot in his leg. Reporter a ph. D. Candidate from saudi arabia, says he recently told his saudi friends he thought new zealand was the safest place on earth. To him, it was. I saw the bullets on the wall. The man came inside. And we couldnt do anything. Just, i looked, i was next to the window, i smashed the window and escaped through the window, and many people run after me, and we went to the backyard. Sue harrison heard the shots ring out across the yard. We got in the stairwell. And sort of hunkering down, we were panicked, a panicked feeling, describing the sound. Finally, there was silence. After the gunshots had stopped for, you know, a few minutes, we peeked out the window and we could see people in the backyard of the mosque milling around. And you know, they were upright, they werent running, they werent panicking, they were just sort of walking around, there was wailing going on. Harrison has not been allowed back to the apartment. The area around the mosque is still a crime scene. It is where 41 people who couldnt get out died inside. And fred, we have seen security stepped up all around christchurch during this still tense time. Police say that they have their suspected attacker. They are not directly looking for any more suspects. But still, that Police Presence is out there. Particularly outside of those two mosques where these attacks happened. The Prime Minister of new zealand says authorities are working as quickly as possible to return the bodies of those killed to the loved ones now waiting for them. Fred . Alexandra field, thank you so much. And as victims fight to survive, authorities are digging into the suspects motive. And what led him to gun down dozens of innocent worshippers. One thing that clearly fueled the gunman, White Nationalism. Cnn Senior Investigative correspondent drew griffin has more. Reporter its titled the great replacement, 87 pages, more than 16,000 words, not rambling, but a spell checked referenced dissertation on a hatefilled view of immigrants, immigration, and muslim, unsigned, the killers explanation for why he did this. These are people who i would describe as having extremist views that have absolutely no place in new zealand, and in fact, have no place in the world. The manifesto was posted online by this man under the name brenton tarrant. There is no doubt the 28yearold under arrest is a white supremacist who believed his own white european race is being wiped out by immigration, labeling it white genocide. It is also the universal rallying cry of hatefilled White Supremacists across the world. In charlottesville, virginia, the neo nazi cry was jews will die. In warsaw, poland, in 2017, some marchers in an Independence Day demonstration, carried banners that read white hero and clean blood. 2015, in charleston, south carolina, a white teenager named dylann roof gunned down unarmed parishioners in a church. The rhetoric is old. But new technology has allowed these messages of hate to be spread in realtime across the globe. The new zealand killer streamed parts of his attack, live on facebook. The video spread to youtube, twitter, news sites, before police pleaded for it to stop. I have seen social media footage. It is very disturbing. It shouldnt be in the public domain. And we are doing everything we can to remove it. But hours after the attack, copies of the gruesome video still continued to appear. Shared by social media users. While police will not discuss motive, the suspect refers to dylann roof and writes he was inspired by white supremacist Anders Breivik who killed 7 people in norway eight years ago. He does try to explain his own breaking point, came in 2017. The french president ial election of what he describes as an antiwhite exbanker and the terror related death of an 11yearold swedish girl run down by a muslim terrorist in a stolen truck in stockholm, a crime he writes he could no longer ignore. In his 87 pages, the suspect does make one reference to donald trump. He writes, are you a supporter . Asking himself. As a symbol of renewed white identity, and common purpose, he answers, sure. As a policy maker and leader, dear god, no. Drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. So even after 49 muslims were murdered in a hatefueled attack, President Trump still wont recognize White Nationalism as a growing threat. Can you speak today about White Nationalism, do you see it as a rising threat around the world . I dont really. I think it is a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. I guess if you look at what happened in new zealand, perhaps thats a case, i dont know enough about it yet. Theyre just learning about the person. And the people involved. But it is certainly a terrible thing. Terrible thing. New data from the fbi suggests domestic terror arrests have been on the rise in recent months. Lets bring in josh campbell, former supervisory special agent with the fbi, so josh, explain this recent uptick. Hi, fred. Were getting new data from the fbi as you mentioned, it is important to realize at the outset, this is a snapshot of time, the last three months of 2018 and what officials tell us is they have seen an increased volume of arrests when compared to some other quarters over the past few years. 25 approximate arrests in that period of time, and again, it is important to look back on the years, in 2018, they saw 120 arrests, and 2017, 150. So it is too difficult to extrapolate right now as far as how that is going to match the rest of this year but at least the most recently available data shows the increased volume and arrests for the fbi. The piece there from drew griffin tells that you this remains a very serious problem, a lot of focus continues to be on International Terrorism groups, like isis and al qaeda, but as that piece showed and as were seeing now in new zealand, right wing radicalism, across the spectrum, ideology, remains a very serious concern for Law Enforcement. And youre also learning more about the fbis response to these massacres, in new zealand. A Law Enforcement official tells cnn that the fbi is closely latched up with officials over in new zealand and sharing information and the fbi headquarters has sent out word to the field offices, instructing those in the field to go through their systems, go through case files, look for any details, that may assist investigators in new zealand, but also to look for any potential subjects who might match the mold of this person who conducted the attack, over new zealand, again, the concern is follow on attacks, retaliatory attacks, were also told that agents in the field are being directed to proactively go out and talk to their sources, these are human informants that provide information on a range of violent crimes, and terrorism, and intelligence and the like, and theyre being tasked to go talk to them and ask them if they have any leads to pertain to new zealand and threats to the homeland security. The relationship to new zealand officials and the fbi remains very strong and that is being brought to bear right now, we see fbi officials as were being told, really trying to gather information, that they can share, and gather information that will help protect against those threats that we just talked about here in the United States. All right, josh camp bell, thank you so much. Thanks, fred. Still ahead, in the wake of the new zealand attacks, President Trump offers his sympathy to new zealand, but does not address the Muslim Community directly.

President trump is digging in on the cornerstone of his campaign. A border wall. After the house and Senate Passed the resolution to block his National Emergency declaration, the president used it as an opportunity to issue his first veto. His reasoning . The invasion thats unfolding at the border. His words. That invasion rhetoric eerily echoing that of the new zealand gunman who killed 49 innocent worshippers at two moves. Cnns chief White House Correspondent jim acosta has more. Reporter surrounded by supporters, the president turned a veto into the days main event. Officially rejecting a bipartisan measure in congress that rebuked mr. Trump for trying to use a National Emergency declaration to go around lawmakers to build his border wall. Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution. And i have the duty to veto it. Reporter the president also sounded off on the mosque terror attack in new zealand. Its a horrible, horrible thing. I told the Prime Minister that the United States is with them all the way. Reporter earlier in the day, the president offered his condolences tweeting my warmest sympathy and best wishes go out to the people of new zealand after the horrible massacre in the moves. But the president s critics question whether that response should be more forceful in condemning the attack allegedly carried out by a white wing extremist. Mr. Trump was asked by reporters whether he thinks White Nationalism is a rising threat. I dont really. I think it is a small group of people who have very, very serious problems. I guess if you look at what happened in new zealand, perhaps thats a case, i dont know enough about it yet. Theyre just learning about the person. And the people involved. But it is certainly a terrible thing. Reporter as a candidate, mr. Trump once called for a ban on muslims coming into the u. S. A Campaign Promise the Administration Later tried to turn into policy. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States until our countrys representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. Reporter democratic president ial candidate beto orourke said thoughts and prayers are not enough. Adding that attacks like the one in new zealand are now all too common. Theyre on the rise around the western world. Theyre on the rise right here in this country. Theyre part of a larger disease of intolerance that has taken hold, in what was thought to be the most tolerant, most open, most welcoming country the world had ever known. Reporter before the mosque attack, Authorities Say the killer in new zealand wrote a long manifesto expressing antimuslim and antiimmigration views even describing the president as a symbol of renewed white identity and mon purpose. White house officials are blasting the notion that the president s ret lick had anything to do with the violence in new zealand. He said im not a conservative, im not a nazi, it sounds like be a an ecoterrorist, and a ruthless killer. And just this week, questions are being raised whether the president s rhetoric simply crosses the line. In an interview with the conservative breitbart web site, i can tell you i have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the bikers for trump, i have the tough people, but they dont play it tough until they go to a certain point and then it would be very bad. Very bad. Democrats say the president is playing with fire. I interpret that kind of comment as a danger to peaceful transition of power in our democracy. Thats one of the fundamental principles of our constitution, that we have that kind of peaceful transition of power, and respect for the rule of law, which that kind of comment utterly betrays. The president said he hadnt read the new zealand killers manifesto and declined to weigh in but as for the president s claim that White Nationalism is not a rising threat, he might want to consider recent fbi figures and other figures shows that right wing extremism is a growing concern, from the streets of charlottesville to the synagogue shooting last year and now in new zealand, it is a threat that cannot be denied. Jim accosta, cnn, the white house. Joining me right now, cnns political analyst and National Political reporter for the new york times, Washington Bureau chief, for the toronto star, daniel dale, and cnn. Com opinion contributor and daily beast contributor dean, obidala, good to see all of you. Lisa, you first. What does it say, that the president has this platform to strongly condemn White Supremacy, but his First Response on twitter, you know, to the attack, he used words like warmest sympathy and best wishes and didnt even say, you know, the word muslim, Muslim Community, muslim victims, anything like that. Well, look, this is not a president whose known for being, you know, cautious with his words, or not wanting to get out in front of an issue. He usually charges right in, so the fact that he didnt automatically jump in and condemn this as an attack of White Supremacy is notable, but it is not surprising. Weve seen the president condemn hate in the past. But he tends to condemn certain kinds of hate. He was really vocal after the pittsburgh shooting at the synagogue. About condemning antisemitism. Hes talked about when there was an attack in egypt against c coptic krinchristians but when comes to rail issues, that have been conducted to people who have ties to white supremacist organizations, he really has not condemned those attacks in the same way. Certainly not forcefully, and certainly without, not without a wave of criticism first. Why is he or even the white house not concerned more about that . I mean that avoidance so to speak . Well, look, part of the, the president has played foot sy in a way with the groups, and you know, not necessarily white supremacist groups but people who may share some of those concerns, who may worry about the influx of immigrants coming into the country, or the chaining racial composition of the country. So you know, that is part of his base. Now, it may be a small part of his base, but it is part of his base. So it is hard not to see politics at play here. We are in an election year, or were in a reelection cycle. So dean, in your latest piece for the daily beast, you write, you know, at this point trump lies somewhere between an apolgs for white supremacist terrorism, and those who ultimately commit the acts are responsible for their crimes we cant ignore the connection between people who support trump and white supremacist violence. So expound on your thoughts there. Sure. I mean politicians can inspire good, bad, and ugly, and donald trump, he has continually inspired some of the worst in this country to commit acts. And you know, fred, we talk about the big incidents. There is other ones that i know, in my article, where people who were arrested who were selfavowed trump spofers selfavowed White Supremacists trying to kill others like the new zealand attack but were stopped. And in january, four men were in new york state, going to primarily a Muslim Community to kill them. Three men, sentenced in january to 25 years in prison, for plotting to kill muslims in kansas. Somali Muslim Community. So these incidents are not getting the press they deserve so americans dont see how dangerous this is. So they would push i hope donald trump to say, White Supremacists are terrorism. And he called to say radical islamic terrorism, you cant say trump doesnt have the courage politically to say white supremacist terrorism and he wont address it. And youre particularly in censed that the president doesnt say anything compassionately about muslim, the victim, the community impacted, particularly in this incident, and beyond. Absolutely. And in fact, we have the opposite with this man. Im muslim and this is a man who has demonized my community in ways that i only saw those on the fringe in the past. The real antimuslim bigots. Trump has amplified that
