The UAE's rulers have called on countries around the world to unite against terrorism.

His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of The Abu Dhabi Executive Council, said extremism is the source of all evils.

He made the comments in the light of Friday's mosque attacks in Christchurch, which left 50 people dead.

Kate Pereyra-Garcia, Day Editor at Radio New Zealand, told ARN News that the incident has started important discussions across the country.
