Christchurch mosque attacks: Morning Report special, 8am

From Morning Report, 8:07 am on 17 March 2019

Susie Ferguson is in Wellington and Guyon Espiner is in Christchurch for a special broadcast of Morning Report in the wake of the Christchurch mosque shootings. Frustration grows as family and friends of those killed in the Christchurch massacres want to bury their dead. Services and vigils are held across New Zealand to mark Friday's tragic events. Trauma experts talk to us about the ongoing treatment of the wounded, and we have reaction to the government's call for substantial changes to New Zealand firearms law. Guyon Espiner talks to Colonel Rian Mckinstry - a special operations component commander for the New Zealand Defence Force, to RNZ reporter Alex Ashton outside Christchurch hospital, and to Ilam MP Gerry Brownlee. Susie Ferguson talks to law professor Andrew Geddis about the murder charge laid against shooter Brenton Tarrant, and to Bjorn Jacobsen is a journalist in Norway who followed the Anders Behring Breivik massacre and the aftermath.
