BBC World Service - Newshour, Police now say 50 died in mosque attacks

New Zealand police find a further victim as they clear bodies from Christchurch mosques

New Zealand Police Commmissioner Mike Bush has updated the number who died in the Christchurch mosque shootings, saying that they have found a further victim. We'll hear from a brother of one of the victims who lost his life in an attempt to stop the gunman, 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant. 

Also in the programme: the new shipping routes opened up by melting ice in the Arctic; and a day of violence in Paris, as so-called “yellow vest” protesters ransack stores and set fire to a bank.
