Police in Papua New Guinea have opened fire on students protesting against Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.
Several students were injured and opposition MPs said four were killed, but the government denied any deaths. 
The students were marching from their campus in the capital, Port Moresby, towards parliament where Mr O'Neill faces a possible no confidence motion.
They are demanding that he stand down and answer corruption allegations. Mr O'Neill has denied wrongdoing.
