Christchurch mosque attacks: Morning Report special, 7am

From Morning Report, 7:00 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. Susie Ferguson talks to Ian Civil, a surgeon and clinical leader of the Major Trauma National Clinical Network, about helping the injured in Christchurch. Guyon Espiner talks to the Secretary of the Council of Licenced Firearm Owners Nicole McKee about banning military-style semi-automatic guns.
