Newsday

Available for over a year

At least 26 children have died in Niger after the thatched roof of their school caught fire, seven months after a similar tragedy in the capital Niamey. A rare insight into Bashar al Assad's torture chambers in Syria - from a survivor. And a cry for help from the World Food Programme as it tries to tackle the desperate food shortages in Afghanistan.
