The Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern has reaffirmed that her government will move quickly to change gun laws following the attacks on mosques in Christchurch in which fifty people were killed.

Speaking ahead of a cabinet meeting, she said New Zealanders were asking why people were able to buy military-style semi-automatic weapons.

People in Christchurch have been returning to work and schools as our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports.

Principal Mark Wilson had to tell his students that two of their classmates had been killed in Friday's attack on the city's mosques.
