Afghan students offered scholarships by the UK government to study here from next month have been told they will not now be able to take up their places, APA reports citing BBC.

Chevening Scholarships enable promising students around the world to pursue a masters degree in the UK.

But the Foreign Office said the situation in Afghanistan meant the British Embassy there would not finish preparations in time for this year.

The decision has been criticised by two former Conservative cabinet ministers.
