Militants in northwest Pakistan have attacked Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, near the city of Peshawar. About twenty people are reported to have been killed, including staff and students. Dozens more have been wounded. We'll bring you the latest from Pakistan. Also in the programme: in Britain, the spelling mistake that brought police to a Muslim boy's home, why fairy tales are older than you think, and a question for listeners: what is resilience imperative?
