Christchurch shootings: Ardern vows never to say gunman's name
New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has vowed never to say the name of the Christchurch mosque gunman.
"He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety - that is why you will never hear me mention his name," Ms Ardern said in an emotional address at New Zealand's parliament.
Last Friday's shootings at two mosques left 50 people dead and dozens wounded.
Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, a self-described white supremacist, has been charged with murder.
Coyote fur is a booming fashion trend. But is it ethical?
The pelt trade is thriving thanks to a fad for Canada Goose parkas, but animal advocates are calling for a boycott
Colton Morris, 28, knelt on the concrete floor of a warehouse in rural Ohio, carefully combing the fur on a pile of coyote pelts with a wire brush before putting them up for auction. A sunny but chilly morning greeted him and around 150 other buyers and sellers at the event in the small settlement of Kidron, about 60 miles south-west of Cleveland. There was mink, raccoon, fox and beaver fur on sale. But the biggest draw was coyotes.
The coyote fur trade is booming, largely driven in the US by the fad for Canada Goose parkas, which shows no sign of flaming out.

Updated 0424 GMT (1224 HKT) March 19, 2019
As a child, Daniel Lörcher remembers hearing the chanting on the terrace at his beloved Borussia Dortmund.
Standing on the Südtribüne, amid the raucous black-and-yellow wall of noise, the song began: "Build a tram from Gelsenkirchen to Auschwitz." Gelsenkirchen being the city of Dortmund's fierce rivals, Schalke.
Even now, all these years later, the song about sending Schalke supporters to Auschwitz, where the Nazis murdered Europe's Jews, remains seared into Lörcher's memory.
Relief reaches Zimbabwe's cyclone survivors as death toll rises
Bulldozers and road graders struggled through the night to clear obstructed roads after Cyclone Idai strands thousands.
Rescue efforts in eastern Zimbabwe picked up the pace on Tuesday in distressed areas from Cyclone Idai's trail of destruction with nearly 100 people dead and hundreds missing.
Poor weather conditions and destroyed infrastructure hampered efforts by the military and humanitarian agencies to reach thousands of stranded people. A massive landslide blocked access to the town of Chimanimani - about 400km southeast of the capital Harare - and there was limited access to the worst-affected areas by air.
