new zealand on several fronts is that right. yes it was i mean it noted the magnitude of the murder charges but the fact that this is the 1st time that a successful prosecution has been done under the terrorism act and the terrorism act if you remember came after $911.00 and was designed for java's but as it turns out the threat didn't come from the muslim community they were the targets and so he's been convicted of terrorism he's been convicted of $51.00 cancer murder 40 plus counts of grievous bodily harm or something to that effect and now he's been given a life sentence without parole which hasn't been used for over 100 years and i merely point out that the last time it was used it was used against mouthy independence activists in the late 19th century so this man is australian as of yet we've not had a mainstream new zealander convicted of any of these crimes but nevertheless it's a significant step even for those who don't like the idea of no parole because of the heinous and the magnitude of this man's crimes. paula the

let me start off with new zealand. just a couple of days ago, we were heralding the success of the new zealand model that had gone 100 days without community transmission and now you have got auckland back into lockdown. does this narrative tell you how insidious this can be, and how even countries that have handled this very successfully are really on a knife's edge? >> everyone is on a knife edge, absolutely. you also have to recognize what they are doing here. it is literally for cases, one household that has been reported with coronavirus and they are locking everything down, so they are just going after this very aggressively. not only that they told everyone to expect this would happen. eradicate thewe virus from the country is unlikely has popped up yet. they knew it was coming, there locking everything back down and it will be interesting to see if they can replay. >> in the meantime, we see the u.s. rushing to get supplies of eight potential vaccine. moderna had come out with the highest vaccine price previous

what is going to be very for new zealanders is if we do end up new zealanders is if we do end up with another case of community transmission, quite how we respond to that because it is very clear around the world, people are getting very tired of having to go in and out of lockdown. so yes, we haven't faced the challenge. the question is whether we will all come together like we did the first time. people still able to come and go from new zealand? we have isolation when you come into the country and the only people allowed in our people from new zealand. there are exemptions for necessary workers and at the moment it is about managing that isolation. do we have the capacity to expand it anymore? the government at the moment is saying no. 101 days did it i will remember that figure. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: hundreds of volunteers in mauritius, try to stop a massive oil spill from reaching the island's pristine beaches. the big crowds became bigger as the time of the funeral approached. as the lines of fans became longer, the police prepared for a hugejob of crowd

new zealand has registered just two new coronavirus cases in the last 2a hours. here's some of what the prime minister had to say. no gathering can be larger than ten. i cannot stress how important this is. much of this cluster has stemmed from social gatherings. if we want to stop the spread, we have to stop socialising for a time. i understand that it is easy to become complacent. that if you hear a message that there are just, for instance, as you did today, two cases, you may question what the likelihood is of you coming into contact with those two cases. everyone, i am sure, who has experienced covid—i9 probably thought that same thing at some point, until it was them. a short time ago, i spoke to amelia wade, a political reporter on the new zealand herald. i started asking her if the prime minister's message is clear enough for people to know what they can and can't do. you have to remember we have done this before. after we came out of our last lockdown, the whole country went back into level two so we are familiar with this level before, but what is new

and when jacinda christchurch and in new zealand more broadly? and whenjacinda ardern talks about moore needing to be done to stop radicalisation in new zealand, what you think is happening ona zealand, what you think is happening on a practical level? i agree with the point that when we reflect on march 15, we will never forget the individuals whose lives were taken from us, but we will always remember the way the community came together in such an outpouring of both grief and support for the muslim community, but also that sense of compassion and kindness that really has enabled us to see us through to this day. so this is a real turning point, but i agree entirely with the prime minister, radicalisation is amplified through social media and the internet generally. where people are able to reach out and find comfort in the dark places on the web. i think we need to do a lot more to ensure that communities do not see themselves as setting themselves out apart from so others. i recall one of the individual standing in the court saying, who is the
