How students are keeping Dhaka's traffic flowing

Dozens of volunteers, many of them students, have taken it upon themselves to direct traffic at one of Dhaka's busiest intersections.

They have taken over from police officers, who are staging a strike, after a popular uprising toppled the government in Bangladesh.

The country's police force failed to quell anti-government protests that had begun over civil service job quotas last month.

The BBC's Samira Hussain reports from the ground in Dhaka, where students are doing what they can to keep traffic flowing and maintain law and order.
