Police have now identified eight out of the nine attackers.

More details are now emerging on the people who carried out the bombings across Sri Lanka. Police in the country say that they have now identified eight out of the nine bombers. We speak to Christians in Sri Lanka to hear how they are now feeling.

Also, floods and landslides in the city of Durban, South Africa have killed at least 60 people. Our correspondent is there.

And new superhero film Avengers: Endgame is set to make a billion dollars in its first week. We speak to someone who's going to a midnight screening of the film.
