Large turnout at remembrance ceremony for New Zealand mosque shooting victims

Available for over a year

In New Zealand, more than 20,000 people have attended an open air service of national remembrance in Christchurch for the people shot dead by a far-right gunman in two mosques a fortnight ago. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said New Zealand was not immune to the virus of hate but could be the nation that found the cure. Firefighters in Bangladesh are searching for bodies after a fire broke out in a large office tower in the capital Dhaka, killing at least 19 people and injuring several dozen others. The British government is to hold a new vote on Brexit today, the final attempt to get the withdrawal agreement through the House of Commons. The speaker ruled that the vote could take place as the motion considered just the withdrawal agreement, not the future political relationship between London and Brussels.
