Now to New Zealand and the aftermath from Friday's deadly shootings in Christchurch. The country's police commissioner confirmed the gunman who killed 50 people praying at two separate mosques acted alone. Meanwhile, the country's gun laws have come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the attack. The government has responded by saying it would announce reforms in the next ten days. Our correspondent Greg Navarro has more.

From a glance, the city of Christchurch appeared to be back at work on Monday- just days after 2 of its mosques were attacked, killing 50 people. For business owner Peter Perrim, the chance to focus on something other than the violence that has devastated this city and its people was welcomed.

PETER PERRIM BUSINESS OWNER "Definitely, it is trying to return to some sense of normality."

For others, the start to the work week, after a weekend of mourning, was a very tough day.

BRITTANY TUCKER CHRISTCHURCH RESIDENT "It's a hard one to come back to on Monday and focus but I think we just need to stay strong."

While many sights were familiar on Monday, the heavy police presence was not, especially surrounding the Al Noor Mosque where most of the victims lost their lives.

JACINDA ARDERN NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER "I know that there is understandably grief in New Zealand right now, but there is anger too. There are questions that need to be answered and that we are looking for as well."

Students from one of the city's schools performed a traditional Maori ceremony as a tribute to the victims. And makeshift memorials continue to grow filled with flowers and handwritten messages.

"I just wanted to put out there a message of love and acceptance."

There has been a growing focus not only on the gunman's actions here, but the fact that the shootings were live streamed on social media.

GREG NAVARRO CHRISTCHURCH "Despite the growing calls urging people not to view the 17 minutes of chilling images that were posted on line, many people did, available on a variety of platforms. Now Facebook says it deleted 1.5 million videos from its platform within the first 24 hours of the attacks."

New Zealand's Prime Minister held the first meeting with the country's cabinet on Monday, vowing to follow through on a pledge to tighten the country's gun laws.

JACINDA ARDERN NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER "There are ways that we can bring in effective regulation of firearms that actually target those that we need to target and that is our focus."

For Peter Perrim, the focus for now is finding a way to move forward.

PETER PERRIM BUSINESS OWNER "It's just changed Christchurch, changed the way the world sees us."

And Peter Perrim says, the shooting has changed the way so many here in Christchurch see themselves.
