The prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, has reaffirmed that her government will move quickly to change gun laws following the attack on mosques in Christchurch in which fifty people were killed. Speaking ahead of a cabinet meeting, she said New Zealanders were asking why people were able to buy military-style, semi- automatic weapons. Ethiopia says early findings from an investigation into the Ethiopian Airlines disaster show "clear similarities" with a crash involving the same type of plane off Indonesia last October. Investigators in that crash found faulty sensors had triggered an anti- stall system installed on all Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. We hear from eight year old Tanitoluwa Adewumi. He left his home in northern Nigeria in 2017 because of attacks by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. He moved to the USA with his family, learned to play chess and just over one year later - has become a chess champion in his age category at the New York State chess championship.
