Peter R de Vries has been seriously wounded after being shot on a street in Amsterdam

The Dutch national broadcaster NOS said he was attacked minutes after appearing on a TV chat show.

Peter R de Vries rose to prominence reporting on the types of crimes he has fallen victim to and the mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema said he was "fighting for his life" and condemned his shooting as a "cruel, heartless attack". We speak to Dutch MEP Sophie in't Veld.

What effect will the withdrawal of NATO troops have in Afghanistan. A military analyst gives his assessment.

And we go live to Nigeria where a number of schools in the northern state of Kaduna are now closed for fear of more mass kidnappings.
