The police have admitted that they took too long to storm the classroom where the gunman was carrying out his attack. 

Also: UN Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, finishes her tour in China where she visited Uyghurs regions Xinjiang; and the cost of living is forcing some in New Zealand to make difficult decisions: leave the country. 

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Latika Bourke a London based journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age; and Carne Ross a former British diplomat - who now works for EG3 - a think tank that works on climate diplomacy.
