Tim has been covering the second phase of the inquest into the Al Noor mosque massacre - which has been examining how the terrorist got his gun licence and the laws surrounding firearms licensing prior to the attack. Also the ongoing inquest into the Yanfei Bao case. And the gastro outbreak at the University of Canterbury hall and Ilam apartments.

Today marks five years since the devastating Christchurch mosque shootings, and Canterbury's Muslim community will gather for its largest ever commemoration. 51 worshippers were killed after a gunman opened fire at Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre on March the 15th, 2019. This year's anniversary falls on Jumu'ah - the mandatory Islamic Friday prayer. It was that occasion five years ago which the terrorist targeted. It also falls in the holy month of Ramadan. For those left behind, the memory is hard to erase but some say they have overcome survivor's guilt to live a more meaningful life.         First Up producer Mahvash Ikram went to meet three men who were at Al Noor mosque at the time of the attacks.

On today's First Up pod: its been a rollicking start to the new Super Rugby Pacific Season, we hear all about it with Hurricanes flanker Peter Lakai; explainer editor Katie Kenny tells us what happens if you want to change your mortgage or pay it off quicker and Mahvash Ikram meets three men who were at Al Noor mosque, on this day, five years ago. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

The truth is transitioning from darkness to light. Those were the words uttered by the Coroner as she drew the curtain on the inquest into the deaths of the 51 people shot at Christchurch's Al Noor mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre in 2019. For seven weeks, brutal evidence has been heard by the court about what happened on March 15th, the emergency response that followed and what improvements could be made. Niva Chittock was there.

A senior ambulance officer has broken down in court after being asked whether more staff could have saved lives at Christchurch's Al Noor mosque in 2019. The coronial inquest into the March 15th mosque attacks continued at Christchurch today. The experienced St John paramedic became emotional on the stand when asked whether ambulance staff had the capabilities to treat dozens of critically wounded people inside the mosque. Our Christchurch reporter Adam Burns was in court.

One of the first paramedics inside Al Noor mosque after the Christchurch terror attacks has described being approached by a man carrying a dead child. First responders have been giving evidence to the inquest into the deaths of the 51 people. Reporter Anna Sargent was in court.  [audio_play] Warning, this audio contains distressing details.

The police have recounted their frantic efforts to get medical help to people shot inside Al Noor mosque during the 2019 Christchurch terror attacks. The Armed Offender squad members have given statements to the inquest into the deaths of the 51 worshippers who died in the attacks. They say when they had no response to their repeated calls for help, they had to run to find ambulances. Niva Chittock filed this report from the courtroom.

The first police officers inside Al Noor mosque after the 2019 Christchurch terror attacks say they did not have the staff or the medical supplies to properly begin treating and removing badly injured victims. Reporter Niva Chittock was in court as they gave statements to the inquest for the 51 worshippers who were killed. [audio_play] Warning, this audio contains distressing details.

A warning, this next story contains distressing details. Officers rushing to the aid of victims of the Christchurch terror attacks have described police communications in chaos - even as they were confronted by the gruesome scenes at Al Noor mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre. Several officers made witness statements on Tuesday to the inquest for the 51 people killed in the 2019 attack, saying they were given false information or none at all - and at times it seemed there was nobody in charge. Niva Chittock was in court.

Police say delayed footage of the 2019 Christchurch terror attacks was initially thought to be a second attack on Al Noor mosque. A police commander told the inquest into the deaths of the 51 worshippers on Monday, they did not immediately know if the video they were watching was live. It's raised questions about whether this contributed to a delay getting help to the injured victims inside the mosque. Niva Chittock was in court in Otautahi.

'None of them are defined by what happened on 15 March'. The words of the coroner as she opened an inquest into the Christchurch terror attack, as she promised to keep victims at the heart of her inquiry. Deputy Chief Coroner Brigitte Windley will examine the murders of 51 worshippers by a white supremacist at Al Noor mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre. Timothy Brown was in court and filed this report.

On the 15th of March, 2019, a 28-year-old man walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, holding a shotgun and semi-automatic rifle – and opened fire. And what set this story apart was not just its brutality, but also the way it was staged – from the internet, for the internet. The gunman had strapped a GoPro to his helmet, and was streaming every second of the Christchurch shooting over Facebook Live. And just before he entered Al-Noor mosque, he said to his online audience: “Remember lads, subscribe to PewDiePie.”We look at online radicalisation, the deep internet meta-humour that was littered through the manifesto – and the role of platforms like 8chan and YouTube in the rise of far-right terrorism.--If you would like to take up the offer of the 6 month free trial to Wondery+ just click HERE or visit redhandedpodcast.com/wonderytrialAnd don't forget - you'll be automatically charged $4.99 a month after the end of the 6 months, so if you don't want to keep W+ be sure to cancel!If you have Amazon Prime - but still can't access ShortHand via amazon music - unfortunately you are in a region that doesn't have access.

Masjid Al-Noor (MCA) | Friday Sermon: A Ray Of Hope | 8.19.22 by Imam Bilal Elsakka

A survivor of the March 15 mosque attacks is on the last stage of a walk to reclaim peace from a terrorist whose actions put him in hospital with nine bullets. To mark the three year anniversary, Temel Atacocugu started walking from Dunedin's Octagon on the first of March, and after 360-kilometres will end at Al Noor mosque, in Christchurch, on Tuesday. His final stretch started around 7.30am south-west of the city, near the Selwyn District Council offices. He spoke to Corin Dann.

On March 15, 2019, Temel Atacocugu was praying at Al Noor mosque when he was shot nine times. In the name of creating a peaceful future, and despite significant injuries, Temel is currently walking from Dunedin to Christchurch - the same path taken by the terrorist that day.

Episode Notes An experienced Human Resources professional and a dedicated Art Enthusiast, I am the Director, Gurukul Studios. I spearhead all the Projects at Gurukul. I bring to the table, strong corporate and business experience of aviation industry with companies like Cathay Pacific and Emirates. At Gurukul, I have established distinct methodologies and fair business practices with a vision to be a culturally rooted yet progressive dance organisation! It is currently one of the leading Indian classical dance academy in the Middle East with branches in India and Switzerland. I have made path-breaking forays into the Dubai Academia and taken Gurukul Art Outreach Programs to several academic and art forums. Gurukul Dubai, works closely with GEMS Modern Academy and other leading schools in the region. As a conscious decision of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy, we worked with specially abled students on SNF, Dubai and Al Noor. Gurukul Dubai was established by Pali Chandra and me, in 2007. We provide quality and classical dance education to more than 350 students in Dubai, and have started operations in Zurich and Bangalore (India). We are true practitioners of Indian Classical Dance syllabus of ISTD, UK , and strongly believe, that internationally it is one of the the most compatible syllabi. We have been holding ISTD exams annually since 2012 and have enabled and supported approximately 74 in 2012, 91 in 2013, 128 in 2014, 127 in 2015,165 in 2016 and 205 in 2017. Whilst the numbers speak of the popularity and acceptance of the syllabus through us, we at Gurukul have ensured quality education and hence the results. We adhere to the syllabus guidelines for all levels from CEP to Grade 6, with a focus on ISTD safe dance practices. Many workshops by visiting faculty have been organised by Gurukul to help maintain standards. Some of my successful projects include the 3 days Kathak Festival, Sufi Noor in 2009 and 2012, Five Elements, (2010) Navarasa (2013), Naach – 100 Years of Bollywood (2014), Taalmala (2016), Navinayika (2015), Lasya (2018), Parampara - an annual event of Gurukul wherein we take our students from all our centres to India - to learn from the maestros, to name just a few. My past assignments include those with the Emirates Group as Human Resource Specialist, Commercial Division, Dubai and Cathay Pacific Airways, Vancouver/Canada and Hong Kong.A people's person at heart, a mentor and an executive decision maker, I worked hard to make Gurukul a well recognised centre for ISTD education and a place for dance lovers to connect with. I must confess that this could not have been done without the artistic guidance of Pali Chandra and my pro-active and committed facilitators and admin teams.! India and specially, the City of Bangalore, holds immense potential for dance education based on ISTD syllabus. With the very first studio that opened last month (December 2017) in one of the most centrally located communities on Wood Street, off Brigade Road, I can clearly visualise reach of our programs with ISTD at its heart ! As a child I had learnt kathak dance for 7 years under the able guidance of Guru Vikram Singhe and am currently being trained under Pali Chandra for Vocational Course of ISTD.

Al Quran (Kanzul Iman) recitation with Urdu Translation.

Em 15 de março de 2019, aproximadamente às 13h40, horário local, Brenton Tarrant, um treinador de ginástica australiano de 28 anos sem histórico criminal que era ativo em fóruns de extrema direita na Internet, entrou na mesquita Al Noor em Christchurch, Nova Zelândia, onde ele matou 42 pessoas. Saindo da mesquita, ele teria atirado em outra pessoa na calçada antes de dirigir a curta distância até a mesquita de Linwood, onde ele teria continuado sua matança. No espaço de 36 minutos, Tarrant supostamente matou 49 pessoas. Mais dois morreram posteriormente devido aos ferimentos. No episódio dessa semana eu conto os detalhes desse massacre que chocou o mundo em 2019.

Minareten er tilbake etter en lang sommerferie og vi er gira for å møte dere med nye tema. Vi tar for oss nylig sak om en Imam som kom med antisemittiske uttalelser på sosiale medier. Vi har besvart dette i Aftenposten og oppsummerer våre hovedpoeng her. Situasjonen i Afghanistan er dramatisk, Kabul har falt og vi diskuterer hvordan dette hele skjedde. Hva er propaganda, hva er realiteten på bakken. Stemmer det at Taliban er en folkebevegelse, eller at de har moderert seg? Vi snakker om disse hypoteser, eller snarere propaganda, og ettergår disse. En podcast levert av Minareten, ved Shan Mohammed og Usman Asif. Lytt, del, og følg oss på Instagram og Twitter (@minareten) og Facebook (Minaretens diskusjonsforum) #MinaretensPodcast #HøytUnderTaket

The Al Noor Mosque is being targeted with fresh threats of violence. The police have received three separate reports of threats towards the Christchurch mosque in the last fortnight, incidents a senior Minister describes as 'serious'. The Muslim community says racism is very much alive and well in New Zealand and is already asking for more time to make submissions on proposed changes to hate speech laws. Political reporter Anneke Smith has more.

Warning: parts of this report may be distressing for some listeners. A witness to the Christchurch terror attack is calling on the government to listen to their pleas, and fears lives could be lost without adequate mental health support. Nathan Smith was inside Al Noor mosque when the shooting started on March 15, 2019. Fifty one lives were lost in the terrorist attack committed by an Australian white supremacist. It's the country's worst mass shooting. Mr Smith says as a first-hand witness, he has struggled with the trauma since the attack, and says mental health support has been basically non-existent. He sat down with RNZ reporter Anan Zaki and cameraman Nathan McKinnon.

The terrorist attacks in two Christchurch mosques on March 15, 2019 was New Zealand's worst peacetime shooting ever. It changed the lives of the victims' families, the survivors and the country's Muslim community forever. This is the story of that day, and the aftermath, told in their words - so we remember the people who lost their lives, rather than the man who took them.   In this episode, we hear in detail from those who were inside Al Noor mosque on March 15, those who had loved ones inside, and the authorities who responded to the attacks. This episode is not for sensitive ears and includes graphic descriptions of violence.

Recorded on the second anniversary of the white supremacist mass-murder at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, Aotearoa.  Solidarity forever with all affected, and with all victims of organised white supremacy.

Hace diez años, el pueblo sirio se levantaba contra Bashar al-Asad. Hoy, sigue en el poder y más de seis millones de personas han sido desplazadas. El ejército regular ha retomado cerca de los dos tercios del territorio, otras partes las controlan los kurdos, Turquía o grupos islamistas todavía activos. Catalina Gómez, nuestra enviada especial a Raqqa, en el norte de Siria, nos cuenta cómo se reconstruye la ciudad. Por Catalina Gómez. Son apenas las 10 de la mañana del viernes, jornada de descanso en Raqqa. La ciudad está tranquila. Pero para un grupo de estudiantes de un instituto cercano, el día comenzó horas antes. Ahora están en un descanso, que aprovechan para divertirse en la plazoleta de Naim, recordada por los locales como el lugar donde el grupo Estado Islámico solía decapitar a aquellos que sentenciaba a muerte. Una escultura de hierro con una canasta en lo alto, donde los asesinos dejaban las cabezas, es el único recuerdo de lo que sucedía allí. Los cinco jóvenes tratan de mover sus pies coordinadamente, se ríen. Pero cambian de actitud cuando se le pregunta por el pasado: “No, de eso no hablaré, perdóneme”, dice uno. “Nos ha tocado aceptar lo que la guerra nos ha traído” En Raqqa saben que Isis todavía tiene ojos y oídos y que muchas células se esconden en la clandestinidad. Por eso los jóvenes amagan con irse después de oír la pregunta, para luego regresar a pedir una foto.  Para los mayores es más fácil hablar. Ahmad y su hermana Sara al-Mousa han llegado hasta la panadería local ubicada en uno de los extremos de la plazoleta: “Mi hermano perdió a tres de sus hijos y otro hermano perdió a otros tres…”, cuenta Sara. Ambos abandonaron Raqqa cuando llegó al Estado Islámico, pero han decidido regresar: “Básicamente nos ha tocado aceptar lo que la guerra nos ha traído. Son asesinatos, es destrucción. Es como una orden de Dios. Es todo lo que podemos hacer”, comenta Ahmad. Reconstrucción y convivencia La mezquita del Al Noor es una de las más grandes de Raqqa. Pero el edificio donde se reza hoy es nuevo. Fue derrumbada durante la campaña para liberar la ciudad. Como también lo fueron muchos de los edificios que hoy permanecen sin reconstruir. “No ha habido una verdadera reconstrucción en la región. Todo el trabajo que se ha hecho ha sido en proveer estabilidad y servicios básicos, como agua, electricidad… El sector salud todavía es muy débil, está casi destruido. La infraestructura en general es muy débil. El consejo civil de Raqqa, algunas ONG y las organizaciones internacionales proveen asistencia alimentaria, esto lo dan en efectivo. Y todas las casas que se han reconstruido han sido por sus propietarios. Las casas que todavía están dañadas son de aquellos que no tienen la habilidad financiera para hacerlo”, explica Mahmoud al-Haidi, director de la ONG Hope Makers. El Sheik Ali Naif tiene a cargo la coordinación de las 80 mezquitas que se han reconstruido en Raqqa, pero también tiene la misión de lograr la convivencia en la ciudad: “Le estamos diciendo a nuestros hermanos cristianos que vuelvan a su país, que es seguro. No volverá a ver destrucción, no más asesinatos. No habrá diferencia entre nosotros y ustedes”, enfatiza. Problemas económicos La intensidad del conflicto se ha reducido, Siria es un país en guerra donde hay muchos asuntos por resolver. El que más preocupa actualmente es la economía, la libra siria se desploma, arrastrada por el colapso de la economía del Líbano.  También queda por resolver el control de Raqqa, que actualmente está en manos de las Fuerzas de Siria Democrática e integrada por fuerzas árabes, cristianas y kurdas, que son mayoría. Leila Mustafa, la codirectora del Consejo de Raqqa, subraya que no hay que olvidar “que las células de Isis todavía están alrededor y están organizadas de manera clandestina. Si bien decimos que Isis ha sido vencido en lo militar, la realidad es que quedan células durmientes. Así que hay posibilidades de que esas células puedan atraer a los jóvenes, cuando no hay trabajos para ofrecer, y no hay educación por falta de instituciones educativas. Posiblemente eso vaya a afectar en el futuro”. Qué pasará en el futuro, se pregunta la población. ¿Volverá el gobierno de Bashar al-Asad que gobierna en Damasco? ¿Habrá otro capítulo de esta guerra?

It could have been mistaken for a graduation ceremony.Proud parents, welcome hugs, long embraces. Small groups standing around chatting, laughing. Mewling infants hoisted onto shoulders.But take a closer look. The bursts of laughter are cut off short. Sudden tears wiped away.Many people hobbling on crutches, bandages over recent surgeries, latest rounds of treatment. Deep shrapnel setting off the security wands, overseen by troops of armed police.Holding a March 15, 2019 Christchurch terror attacks anniversary memorial event was not a consensus decision.Many families, gunshot victims, survivors recoiled at reliving the tragedy which, two years on, haunts them every day.Some preferred to mark it silently during Friday prayer at Al Noor and Linwood mosques – the scenes of New Zealand's worst mass shooting.Others, like New Zealand's most prominent Muslim Sonny Bill Williams, say they remember the fallen every day. As Muslims, they pray five times a day and the fallen are always in their thoughts.But for those who attended yesterday's "We are one" national remembrance service in Christchurch – about 700 victims and families, dignitaries including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and about 150 members of the public, it felt like the right thing to do."Two years have passed by, we gather here to remember the 51 beautiful souls," said Kiran Munir whose husband Haroon Mahmood was killed in the attack.The grief and pain filled the cavernous Christchurch Arena."The ripples of sorrow and grief we endure may never subside - but we have faith," said a stoic Maha Elmadani whose beloved "baba" Ali Elmadani was also murdered two years ago tomorrow.Those who died in the attacks had their names read aloud while their photographs filled a big screen.They were wearing All Blacks jerseys and caps, posing for happy holiday snaps and described as loving fathers, mothers, sons, daughters. Children. Filial. Pious. Humble. Loving. Loved.Tears flowed.Survivor Temel Atacocugu - who was shot nine times on the day – broke down recalling the bloody aftermath of the massacre at Al Noor.He described how a man sat beside him cradling his small son."The paramedics told him that his son was dead … there was nothing they could do for him," Atacocugu said, breaking down in tears."Suddenly my own pain felt insignificant, my heart wept for them."I still go to Al Noor each week for prayers and I see that father with a big smile on his face - he is a remarkable man."Members of the public also wept as he spoke, offering tissues and cuddles of comfort."We grieve for you all, we cry," said Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy who also acknowledged the survivors, the wounded, those who bore witness, first responders and the two police officers who prevented the gunman taking any more lives when they arrested him."There can be no us and them, there can only be we - together we shine a light into the darkness, together our children learn that kindness and decency ... are not the monopoly of any ethnicity."After the 90-minute service, they walked out holding hands, colourful headscarves fluttering in the blustery easterly, which brought sounds from the neighbouring Crusaders rugby home stadium.With heads high, they felt better, at least momentarily, for having shared their painful memories and grief with others who know exactly how tough the past two years have been, and how tough the future is going to be.text by Kurt Bayer, NZ Herald
