A group of asylum seekers who live in a shelter in southern Italy have decided to donate some of their "pocket money" to victims of the devastating earthquake in central Italy.

The so-called "pocket money" is the daily allowance that each asylum seeker receives for their personal expenses.
Together, they will donate a total of €187.5 (£160) to the earthquake's response fund.
Maiolo said it is a "small but relevant gesture" from people who felt welcomed in Italy and "want to reciprocate solidarity".
Italy's Civil Protection department confirmed the death toll had reached 247 but the true number of people missing was uncertain given the thousands of holidaymakers in the area.
