Thirty dead in Bangladesh bus crash

At least 35 people in northern Bangladesh have been killed in a head-on collision between two heavily laden buses.

Dozens of people are in hospital, many in a critical condition.

The police say one of the buses fell into a road-side ditch after the collision, near the northern town of Bogra.

They say both the coaches were over-loaded, which may explain the accident.
