Facebook unveiled its latest redesign to its "trending topics" feature – its latest move to give users a variety of sources on important news events. 

The huge social network – which has faced criticism for creating "filter bubbles" that reinforce the views of users, and has been accused of bias in selecting its news sources – said the new design will offer a "carousel" with a variety of websites.
