A number of female students have been abducted from a Nigerian university in Zamfara state.

Gunmen in Nigeria have kidnapped a number of students and workers from a university in northwest Zamfara state the first such major abduction involving students this year. We hear messages from students, eyewitnesses and a local journalist.

Two weeks ago a powerful earthquake devastated southern Morocco. We return to hear again from English tacher Abdelali who gave a powerful account of his survival from the quake at the time, to find out how things have changed. The BBC's Sally Nabil, who has recently returned from Morocco has more updates.

We bring together three Libyans to discuss the aftermath of the devastating floods that killed thousands of people 12 days ago.

We hear messages from India after the Indian prime minister has hailed the passing of a bill that will reserve a third of seats in parliament and state assemblies for women.
