Research by the Malala Fund suggests 20million more secondary-age girls may never return to class following the crisis.

Malala, now 23, was just 15 when shot in the head by a Taliban gunman after campaigning for girls to be educated in her native Pakistan.
Meanwhile, a fake “Meghan for President” website has been set up featuring images of the Duchess with mottos including: “A brighter tomorrow begins today.”

A source close to the couple said: "It's obviously fake.
"I would encourage people not to give it more attention than it deserves - especially as it's collecting people's email addresses and encouraging people to spoil ballots."
Bookmakers have already been offering odds of 50/1 for Meghan to become the US president in four years' time.
