BBC World Service - Newshour, Call for tighter gun laws following Christchurch tragedy

New Zealand government says gun laws “will change”

New Zealand government says gun laws “will change”.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has promised gun laws will change following Friday’s mass shooting in Christchurch which left at least 50 people dead. But will the country’s powerful gun lobby halt any drastic changes? 

Also in the programme: Policing videos of violent acts of terror on Facebook; and inside a high-security detention centre housing IS fighters.
