A state of emergency has been declared in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia.
That's after four people were killed in protests against controversial changes to the voting system.
Pro-independence demonstrators say the reform will further marginalise them.

Al Jazeera’s Wayne Hay reports from Tauranga, New Zealand.
