From Midday Report, 12:15 pm on 15 March 2024

It's five years to the day since a terrorist launched an attack on two Christchurch mosques, killing 51 people. This year's anniversary falls within the first week of Ramadan and members of the city's Muslim community have planned what's expected to be the largest gathering since the shootings to honour the victims, their families and the survivors. In the aftermath of the tragedy former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern launched the Christchurch Call in a bid to stamp out violent extremist content online. Kate Hannah from the Disinformation Project speaks to Charlotte Cook about what progess has been made.
