BBC World Service - BBC OS, Nigeria church attack: 'I don't feel safe'

We speak to two people whose family members survived Sunday's church attack in Nigeria

We hear from two people in Nigeria whose family members were caught up in Sunday's attack on a Catholic church. One man tells us that his father - a church warden - played dead in order to survive the assault. Another says he's been unable to sleep since hearing of the attack.

We get an update from our correspondent in Ukraine where the country's second city, Kharkiv, has come under renewed attack. 

King Philippe of Belgium has returned the first of many cultural artefacts taken from the Congo during colonial rule. We get reaction from local people. 

Three weeks after the Uvalde school shooting in Texas, US lawmakers are holding a hearing on gun violence. It comes after the actor Matthew McConaughey spoke out at the White House, making a plea for tougher gun laws. A survivor and parents of victims of mass shootings have testified.
