Beyond the Headlines: New Zealanders shaken but unbowed by terrorist attacks

We hear from one victim's mother and our own resident New Zealanders to mark one week since the mass shooting in Christchurch.

It's been a week since the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.  The mass shooting was the worst peacetime attack in the country’s history, and has shaken its people to the core.
