The attack killed 40 people in Ondo state, south-western Nigeria.

A mass funeral is taking place in south-western Nigeria for victims of the shooting earlier this month at a Catholic church in the town of Owo. We’ll speak to our reporter about the gathering and find out what more is now known about the attackers.

Also, Ukraine’s bid to join the European Union has been given a major boost with a recommendation of a candidate status. We’ll explain how the process to join the Union usually works, and what Ukrainians think about the accession plan.

And Nepal is preparing to move its Everest base camp because global warming and human activity are making it unsafe. We’ll talk about how the camp will be relocated and get reaction from climbers.
