Stabbing attack in a Sydney leaves 6 dead

BBC World Service - Newshour, Stabbing attack in a Sydney leaves 6 dead

A nine-month-old baby is among the injured and is being treated in surgery

The 40-year-old man, who was known to police, was shot dead by an officer at the scene

A man has fatally stabbed six people at a Sydney shopping centre on Saturday. The police said the attacker "acted alone" that there is "no continuing threat" to the public. 

Also in the programme: as India’s general election starts next week with PM Narendra Modi expected to win a third term, we ask what his victory could mean to the world; and the efforts to keep a language known as Vlaski alive.
