Minneapolis mourns church mass shooting

An attacker opened fire in a church in which children were celebrating Mass.

Witnesses to a mass shooting in the US state of Minneapolis have described the "terrifying" scenes after an attacker opened fire on a church in which children were celebrating Mass on Wednesday morning. We hear from members of the Catholic community in Minneapolis.

The American budget Airline Southwest says it plans to make plus-size passengers pay for two airline seats if they do not fit comfortable into one. We get reaction.

And we have a conversation with Manchester United football fans from around the world after their humiliating Carabao Cup second-round defeat to fourth-tier opposition.
