An investigation by the Sunday Times finds some of Britain's top universities have recruited go-betweens to find foreign students who are given places on courses despite having much lower grades than those demanded for domestic applicants.

The paper says universities are trying to fill a funding gap by luring foreigners - because there is no cap on tuition fees for overseas students. The Russell Group of universities says its members are using foundation programmes to bridge the gap between different education systems.

The Mail on Sunday reports that a conservation charity which Prince Harry is a director of has been accused of operating an armed militia involved in the beatings, rape and torture of indigenous people in the Republic of the Congo.

African Parks says it takes allegations of abuse seriously and thoroughly investigates all claims.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron sets out what he believes to be a possible path to lasting peace. He says there should be an immediate pause in the fighting, to allow aid to enter the area and negotiations to begin on the release of remaining hostages.

New Palestinian political leadership would then need to rebuild Gaza and secure Palestinian statehood.
