ZIMBABWE: At least 44 people drowned after a ferry capsized on Lake Kariba on Tuesday. The boat’s capacity was 90 but a ticket-collector reported he had counted 153 people boarding.

Survivors said the captain had refused pleas to turn back due to high waves, and even to call for help.

THAILAND: The government has suspended all new gun licences and is reviewing existing ones following two deadly shootings in a week.
