Egyptian war planes take to the skies to target militants in northern sinai. The army says this is a mission to avenge the martyrs. There has been no claim of responsibility, but according to officials the attackers brandished flags of the so called islamic state. And here, one of their many victims in the General Hospital in ismailia. Suleiman is 13. He was shot twice, in the hand and in the leg. And he is not the only victim in his family.

Then she leaned in to whisper that she has been bereaved four times over, losing her husband, her oldest son, an uncle, and a cousin. She didnt want her son to know the death toll. In another ward, we found doctors consoling another man who was praying with his extended family when the attackers struck. He lost two of his brothers and two of their children. There was shooting and people just started running, he told us, some jumped out the window. God saved some of us, but others lost their lives.

Bangladesh is warning Rohingya Muslim refugees returning to myanmar that theyll have to live initially in temporary camps. Its because most of their villages have been burnt down. It is likely to cause concern in the un, which is already warning about the dangers of returning rohingyas to confinement and ghettos. Nicola carroll reports. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in Myanmars Rakhine state. They accuse the Myanmar Military of carrying out mass killings, rape, and setting fire to their homes. But the myanmar government denies the accusations. Today, there are more than 600,000 refugees living in camps like this one. But the governments of bangladesh and myanmar now have an agreement for their return. Translation the returnees will be taken to their original lands, or wherever they want to live. In the primary stages, they will stay in temporary camps. The two sides have agreed to complete the repatriation process in a reasonable time. After a verification process, the displaced rohingya will be taken back. 0ur priority is to ensure their safe return to their homeland with honour. We are aiming for that. The arrangement will cause concern at the un, which has already warned of the danger of returning rohingya to confinement and ghettos. Many of the issues that forced the rohingya to flee in the first place remain to be addressed and some refugees say they do not want to return unless they get citizenship in myanmar. Translation i cant trust the myanmar government. If the International Community promises to keep us safe and if there are people to protect us, we will go. If they send us back without this guarantee, we will be persecuted again. Rights groups say the idea that myanmar would allow the rohingya back with open arms is wishful thinking. It is also not clear whether the Myanmar Military will agree to the latest deal. For now, these Rohingya Muslims continue to face an uncertain future. Nicola carroll, bbc news.

Our main headline pakistans government calls on the army to step in following violent clashes between islamist protesters and police. Well, lets get more on this now. A short while ago, we spoke to the Deputy Director and senior associate at the Woodrow Wilson said. We began by asking him whether he thought this surge of violence would continue. I think that now that the military has stepped in to try to disburse this protesters, it is not as bad as it could have been. The military is quite popular and inspires a lot of awe. I think they are more likely to dispose of they know the military is out there, as opposed to the government. As we so earlier today, it was not able to do a good job at all to get these protesters to dispose. As we saw. I hope protesters to dispose. As we saw. Ihope in protesters to dispose. As we saw. I hope in the coming days, these are the protests that have broken out elsewhere in the country, along with those in islamabad, will end up petering out. But the damage is done. As you said, today, many major cities were hit by protests coming from hardliners with very dangerous views. I want to come onto the protesters themselves in a minute. It is the government thinks of the army as its trump card, why did it ta ke army as its trump card, why did it take so long to play at . There are several factors. These protesters we re several factors. These protesters were out there because of sensitive issues. Religious issues, dealing with issues of blasphemy, and things like that. Pakistan is a very conservative country, a very religiously conservative country. And that either the government really would have preferred that this issue would have gone away without adapting to get involved. The other factor is that this is a government that is very weak, very vulnerable, hampered by corruption allegations, and it did not want to be out there cracking down with the use of force against protesters. But thatis use of force against protesters. But that is what happened and the protesters d id that is what happened and the protesters did turn violent. This is the worst scenario for the pakistani government. Who will come out of this looking good 7 government. Who will come out of this looking good . The government might look weak for bring out the army, the army was doing its job, might look weak for bring out the army, the army was doing itsjob, i think, but the protesters could be thinking they have made their point. They were able to set up they are occupying a major interchange in islamabad fought more than two weeks. For. They got a lot of media attention. A lot of people had about the demands. So they won out. The military has come out with the other had. He has made the government look bad, which is what this military wants, and having got over with the government for the last two years. The government was essentially looking like it was sitting on its hands for a few weeks, and unable to deal with what was a small group of religious hardliners out there in islamabad. And then one it finally did come out and tried to crack down, today, it is in the did not go very well, and police had to retreat. So that the libertarians of sending its troops there. It looks good. Where is the government looks bad, and i think it makes even more unpopular in the eyes of the pakistani public, and i think that adds to the benefit of the pakistani military.

Hello once again. Saturday was pretty much a cold day right across the British Isles and for that, you have to thank a supply of cold north westerly wind coming between an area of low pressure up towards the north east, High Pressure down towards the south west. And on that run of north westerlies, there were quite a few showers across northern and western parts. If you had some overnight, then ice could be a problem first thing on sunday, especially on untreated surfaces. Here we are first thing on sunday morning. Still that wind across the north east of scotland, showers there. Showers too coming through the North Channel down across the irish sea into the north and west midlands, through the north west of england. We will come back to those in a second. But further east or south, dry, fine, sunny, chilly to start off the new day, and perhaps a little more in the way of cloud already at this stage across parts of the south west and the far west of wales. Cloudy right from the word go across Northern Ireland. This is all coming ahead of a set of weather fronts which make themselves known in Northern Ireland late on in the afternoon. The wind ahead of those fronts just beginning to come a bit more westerly so maybe notjust as cold as the north westerly wind of saturday. But that the supply of showers i was talking about coming out of the irish sea could be a bother at burnley and at also huddersfield. Not such an issue down at southampton gloriously clear here. Kilmarnock, just the first signs of that cloud spilling in from Northern Ireland to temper the sunshine then rob you of it altogether as you get on through the afternoon. Certainly by evening, wet and windy fair piling its way down and across the British Isles. Notice the number of isobars there, 40mph gusts perhaps inland and on some of the western facing hills, 30 a0 millimetres of rain, but at least this is mild air. So we have a spell of relatively mild conditions for the new week. But then it turns much colder and there will be a noticeable biting wind coming in from the north. So monday, a day of transition. It will take a while before we see the last of the overnight rain getting away from the south of england and wales. Double figure temperatures here. But slowly but surely, once all of the fronts have moved on through, that allows those isobars to bend back into a much more northerly direction and along that, that is the highway for the cold air to percolate its way down from nearly the arctic across all parts of the British Isles. Im showing you here the middle part of the week, cold air absolutely dominant, and that extends probably towards next weekend. This is bbc news. The headlines the government in pakistan has called on the army to send troops to the capital islamabad after battles between police and islamist demonstrators.
