Suicide Bomb Attack in Afghanistan

More than forty people were killed in the blast in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Dozens of others were wounded. Many of the victims were students attending a conference. The Islamic State group said it carried out the attack - the latest to target Afghanistan's Shia minority.

In other news, at least four prisoners have been killed and dozens of others escaped during a deadly jailbreak in Southern Nigeria's Akwa Ibom state. And we hear from survivors of modern slavery.
