Terrorist Attacks Claim 50 Lives in New Zealand
In what was the deadliest mass shooting in New Zealand's history, 50 people were killed and 50 more were injured in the Christchurch mosque shootings on March 15. The man charged for these attacks has been described as a white supremacist and part of the "alt-right". The shooting has sparked discussion about gun control and the growing violence of extremists around the world. Since the attacks, some have started to voluntarily turn in their weapons to the police as a symbol of solidarity. Following the discovery that the perpetrator's guns were legally acquired, the New Zealand government has been faced with mounting pressure for tighter gun control legislation. Another discussion that has ignited following the shootings is the question of whether or not videos of the shooting should be allowed on websites as an Australian internet provider blocked access to multiple websites where the video was hosted. Moreover, websites like Reddit have outright banned communities that were dedicated to sharing gory images and videos. >>Source

Italy Bans Unvaccinated Children From School
After months of debate about compulsory vaccination, the Italian government has passed legislation requiring families to get 10 compulsory vaccinations in order for the children to attend school. Additionally, parents may be charged up for €500 if they send their unvaccinated children to school because they pose a risk to the other children. Like many other countries, such as the United States, Italy has seen a spike in anti-vaxxers and has recently had a measles outbreak. Additionally, Italy's vaccination rates have dropped below 80% - which is much lower than the World health Organization's 95% target. To combat this and increase the vaccination rates, the government has made vaccinations compulsory for diseases like chickenpox, polio and measles. This legislation has been implemented and repealed before following demonstrations in Rome, but the recent outbreaks in Italy and other parts of Europe has made the Italian government re-think its stance and re-implement the law.

Over 1,000 Feared Dead After Cyclone Idai Devastates Southern Africa
After making landfall with speeds over 100 mph, Cyclone Idai has devastated many cities and has killed an estimated 1,000 people in Mozambique. Miles of urban territory were underwater shortly after the cyclone had passed and whole villages were leveled. The scenes overhead looked like war zones as homes and infrastructure were completely destroyed by the powerful cyclone. One of the greatest losses and a good representation of the cyclone's power was the destruction of over 90% of Beira, a city of about 500,000 people. Several organizations and countries are now working together to provide logistical and humanitarian support to the countries affected. The majority of help provided thus far has been in delivering much needed resources, helping repair roads and homes as well as rescuing and tending to people in affected areas.

Seems rather pointless appending "~Anonymous" to the end of every quote, since every quote was anonymous.
But... if that's my only gripe, then good job.
