Bandits 'kill children' in Nigeria's Zamfara state

At least 14 people have been killed and many others wounded in an attack by armed men on a village in Nigeria's north-western Zamfara state according to Nigerian police.

Residents say the death toll was much higher with dozens killed in the hours-long attack, which began late on Sunday evening and continued into Monday morning.

The Oxford Union has been criticised, following an incident where a blind student was reportedly forcefully removed from a debating chamber.
