Good morning. It's Monday 11 July, and here's a roundup of the latest news.
Nineteen killed in South Africa shooting
Nineteen people have been killed, and nine others wounded, in a shooting at a bar in South Africa's third-largest city.
Police say a group of men enter the Orlando East Tavern late at night in Soweto - the country's largest black township on the outskirts of Johannesburg - and started shooting randomly at patrons.
The perpetrators fled the scene; it is not yet known exactly how many there were, or what their motivation was.
A member of the provincial Executive Council, Faith Mazibuko, says assault rifles were used in the attack.
"The type of the rifles that were used is the AK-47 , which really really does injure a person in such a way that that person sometimes never becomes easy for them to actually survive," Ms Mazibuko said.
"So it is confirmed now we have 15 people who have passed on from this incident in Nomzamo."
Sri Lankan protesters remain defiant
Sri Lankan protesters refused to budge from President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's residence on Sunday, a day after they stormed his home, forcing him to flee with the navy and announce he would resign.

"We won't give up this struggle until he actually leaves."
The dramatic events on Saturday were the culmination of months of protests by people enraged by the South Asian island nation's unprecedented economic crisis.
Hundreds of thousands massed in Colombo demanding Mr Rajapaksa take responsibility for shortages of medicines, food and fuel that have brought its economy to its knees.
