Egypt bus crash kills 50 children

A bus driver and 50 young children have been killed in a collision between a school bus and a train in central Egypt, according to local officials.

The bus was carrying about 60 children from a nursery school when it was hit by a train near Manfalut, 350km (230 miles) south of Cairo.

The Egyptian transport minister has resigned, state media reported.

Reports from witnesses say the barriers of the crossing were opened when the bus approached.
