Five things you need to know

2. Hundreds of anglers rescued after ice platform breaks away

3. Smith attempts to explain Chris Rock assault

Actor Will Smith has attempted to explain why he assaulted comedian Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony in March. The Men in Black star said he "lost it" because he was "going through something that night."

4. Pope accused of 'perversion'

Russia has accused the Pope of "perversion" after he said certain ethnic groups fighting in Ukraine are more cruel than others. Pope Francis said Chechens and Buryats, who have acquired a fearsome reputation in the war, are the "cruellest" soldiers on the battlefield.

And lastly...
