Earthquake strikes Tibet holy city

An earthquake hit Tibet's holy Shigatse city in the mountainous Tingri county on Tuesday morning. At least 95 people have been confirmed dead and 130 are injured, Chinese state media say. The earthquake's death toll is one of the highest recorded in recent years in China, which annexed Tibet in the 1950s and has since exercised tight control over the region. Sitting at the foot of Mount Everest, Tingri county is a popular base for climbers preparing to ascend the world's tallest peak. Tremors were also felt in neighbouring Nepal and parts of India. 

• Gangtuo dam: The region's seismic activity was one of the concerns motivating critics of a dam and hydropower plant China plans to build in Tibet.

• Watch: Rescue teams are racing to find survivors as temperatures, already around -8C (17.6F) during the day, are expected to drop to -18 in the evening.

French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo has issued a special edition this week to mark a decade since a jihadist attack against the publication killed 12 people, including four of its cartoonists. Paris correspondent Hugo Schofield reflects on how the attack and its aftermath affected not just the publication, but France overall.

When you hear the words "sweet, cuddly mayhem", what comes to mind? That is how an American Hockey League commentator described an avalanche of stuffed toys hitting an ice rink. The annual teddy bear toss has been held by the Hershey Bears hockey club since 2001, with this year's event scoring a new world record of 102,343 toys, to be donated to local charities. Take a look.
