Nigeria bans Shia Muslim group

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria has described it as a "huge joke"

The Nigerian government says it has banned a Shia Islamic group, following a series of deadly clashes with authorities and after a court injunction gave permission to declare them a terrorist organisation.

Officials in Ethiopia hope to set a world record by planting 200 million trees in a single day, to tackle climate change.
