French train crash kills children

A train has struck a school bus in the French Alps close to the Swiss border, killing at least six children, French police say.
The accident occurred at a level crossing near the town of Allinges in France's Haute-Savoie region.
At least 30 people were also injured in the crash at around 1400 (1200 GMT), France's rail operator SNCF said.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has sent condolences to the victims. An investigation is under way.
"All of us are thinking of the children, the adults, the victims," Mr Sarkozy said. "We can only hope there will be as few victims as possible."
