Pakistan university attack  kills at least 20, migrants in Turkey, race and the Oscars.

Gunmen have stormed a university in north-western Pakistan killing at least 20 students and staff. They fought an intense gun battle with police who say they killed four of the attackers at Bacha Khan University campus, in Charsadda. The Pakistani Taliban has said it carried out the assault.

The head of Europol - the European Union's law enforcement agency - has said people smuggling is now close to rivalling the drugs trade with criminal gangs making up to four billion pounds in the last year. 

The row over the absence of black actors from this year's list of Oscar nominees continues to rumble on in Hollywood - and beyond. For some in the African-American film community, Hollywood has never held any appeal. One such individual is Haile Gerima, a veteran of black cinema and current tenured professor at Howard University.
