2. #RACISM International students in Cork have expressed concern for their safety after two people who travelled from India to study at UCC had ropes thrown around their necks in the city centre last Saturday.

3. #US SCHOOL SHOOTING The 14-year-old suspect in a shooting at a Georgia high school in which four people were killed appeared in court.
