Jamiat ulema e islam. Hundreds crowded in, flags, chanting, then the explosion. Emraan was one of the rally� s organisers on stage at the time it happened. His ears are still ringing from the blast. What do you remember after the explosion . Translation it was all inured people around, all dead h bodies and flesh. It was like doomsday. Local people tried to help. There were not enough ambulances so people were taking their own cars. He says several people around him died. He isnt sure why he survived. These pictures show some of the chaos. Stretchered or carried by any hands that could offer help. The District Hospital declared a Health Emergency and a call was put out for blood donations. As the wards filled up, some were taken by helicopter to nearby peshawar. The Death Toll Rose quickly. Police have said that they have struggled to identify all of the dead. Among those named is a local political leader. Pakistans Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack. There has been an increase in Violent Attacks across pakistan, particularly in this province. The police have said theyve discovered evidence suggesting the explosion might have been a Suicide Bomber but have not yet confirmed it. If this was an attack, its not clear what the motive could be and no group has claimed it. It leaves many questions about what has happened and how it could affect the build up to pakistans much anticipated general election, still expected later this year. Caroline davies, bbc news, pakistan. A little earlier i asked our south asia editor Anbarasan Ethirajan to tell me more about the group whose rally was targeted. This is the most Political Party is called jamiat ulema e islam, a member of the governing coalition of the national level, it is an influential Political Party in pakistan, they have held a number of rallies across the country over the years. They are seen as a hard line Political Party and its not the first time they have come under attack. The first time they have come underattack. Some the first time they have come under attack. Some of the leaders were attacked a couple of years ago in the province that in 2014 the leader of the group came under Suicide Attack but escaped very narrowly said Derek Bennett tax on them, claimed by the Islamic State group of south asia chapter and under the sunni muslim Extremist Group because they think this Political Party is not truly islamic and that as been the controversial going on and pakistan. But this is a rude awakening and shock to Political Parties because the elections are later this year, expected to be held later this year, so this is one of the first outreach by this Political Party to reach out to the supporters in Bajaur District on the border with afghanistan. It is a big Security Concerns of the pakistani government as various Political Parties want to get in touch with people by organising these kind of rallies and energising their workers, working out strategies of how to reach out to people, so it is a big concern for the government and the Political Parties.

The organisers hearsay russians could learn from this battle, how to be victorious again today. In russia now, the past dominates the present. This is a country which lives at the past which is constantly referring to the past to justify what it is doing now to portray russias actions today as right and just.

In china, until recently, it was extremely difficult for single women to have children. Last year, the government said Health Insurance should cover the cost of giving birth for single mothers and that they should also get paid Maternity Leave. Despite widespread conservative cultural attitudes, a shift is under way, especially in the big cities where more unmarried women are choosing to continue their pregnancies. As our correspondent, stephen mcdonell, reports from southeast china. Two month old hung hung is being raised by his mother and grandmother. Its a lifestyle still frowned on by many, especially in rural areas or smaller towns where beliefs are more conservative. Attitudes are definitely changing towards single mothers in china, but mainly only in the big cities. This mother said she was lucky to have moved to shanghai to run a business. Translation im grateful l for the tolerance of shanghai. Im from rural hunan, an area which will have a lot of discrimination against me as a single mum. She became a single mother after her boyfriends family rejected his choice of bride because her income and status was too modest. Although she was pregnant, he broke up with her. Her mother says the choice to continue with a pregnancy under such circumstances would have been impossible when she was young because of Community Pressure and official regulations. That this change in Community Attitudes has happened at this precise moment in history has been crucial. With an ageing population, the government wants more babies and yet many young couples have refused to answer the call on financial grounds, so more and more we are seeing officials starting to change the rules which had been blocking single women from giving birth. Yet this woman isnt waiting for the government to sort out all the Health Insurance hurdles. Shell soon become a single mum on her own terms. We met her at an expo in hangzhou showcasing her online sales platform. Translation my mum always told me that women should bel more independent, confident and strong. I dont want to marry into anotherfamilyjust because of a child. The 30 year old says the time wasnt right for marriage when she accidentally became pregnant with her much younger boyfriend. However, womens status and Financial Independence are shifting in china, giving more options. Translation traditionally, women relied on men and the family for support. As we earn more, Men And Women become more equal. Women can even employ people to help them. The situation is patchy in china. Even in some cities, single mothers on lower incomes are being denied the paid leave and Health Insurance needed to give birth. Unmarried parents can now get the documents to, for example, process a Childs School application. However, other Government Regulations still need to catch up with whats becoming a reality in china. Stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hangzhou. Earlier, i spoke to yaqiu wang, China Researcherfor human rights watch. Its legal to have babies as an unmarried woman, but its still hard to get the benefits and Maternity Leave insurance and all that other stuff. You can apply. There are a lot of hurdles. The bureaucrats say the government doesnt understand the company doesnt want you to do that. Thats one aspect. The other is a social stigma. Its still very stigmatised to be a single mother in china, thats to give birth without a dad next to the mum, so people feel ashamed, people feel there is a lot of judgement. Population growth is a major concern for china. In terms of what officials are doing they have helped with some of the regulations, but are they doing anything to change the perception of Single Parents and society . I perception of Single Parents and society . Perception of Single Parents and society . I dont think so. Because theres and society . I dont think so. Because theres actually and society . I dont think so. Because theres actually a i and society . I dont think so. J because theres actually a lot of propaganda coming the very top, including president xi jinping saying women should espouse traditional values, they should go home and raise children and support their husband. So i think you propaganda is going the other way. Definitely the Chinese Government was to have more children, still they want women to have children within the framework, within the institution of marriage. I wanted talk to a little more about this stigma. In china, why is it taboo for a single mother to have a child was yellow well, i think its just a traditional value that has been going on for thousands of years for women to have children outside of marriage is very, very rare. As we mentioned earlier, there are institutional and political hurdles for women to do that. Just a few years ago is not even possible to have children outside of marriage because in order to register your baby you have to present the marriage license, so your baby can even get registered if your baby was born outside of marriage. This is a traditional value, would say, its notjust limited to china. East asia generally, korea and japan is also quite a stigma to have children outside of our marriage. Of our marriage. Even though these new of our marriage. Even though these new procedures of our marriage. Even though these new procedures have i of our marriage. Even though. These new procedures have been put in place to make it easier for single mothers, clearly there are Single Parents in china, thatsjust there are Single Parents in china, thats just kind there are Single Parents in china, thatsjust kind of there are Single Parents in china, thats just kind of the way the world works. What are some of the challenges they encounter in society was make we have to say these women are very contained courageous, chinese and understanding stigma, the pressure, any judgement be would have on you for giving birth outside of marriage. For giving birth outside of marriage for giving birth outside of marriaue. ,. ,. ,. , for giving birth outside of marriaue. ,. ,. , marriage. They was a people are very courageous. Marriage. They was a people are very courageous. Women marriage. They was a people are very courageous. Women are marriage. They was a people are l very courageous. Women are very courageous to do that stop there are these communities, especially within big cities, where women are getting together, they feel it is ok to do that, we dont have to conform ourselves into the institution of marriage in order to have children. 0n the other hand, there are economic independence that arise from Economic Development in china. So there is a stigma attached to that. Ifeel the so there is a stigma attached to that. I feel the situation is getting better. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

To niger, where the Economic Community of West African States has agreed to impose immediate financial sanctions on the leaders of the Military Coup there. Following a meeting in neighbouring nigeria, the bloc, known as ecowas, gave the junta a week to hand back power and said it wouldnt rule out the use of force. Nigers ambassador to the United States told the bbc he would welcome Military Intervention if a peaceful solution was not reached. The bloc has also imposed a no fly zone on all commercial flights to and from the country and closed all land borders between niger and member countries. Aneliese bernard is director of strategic stabilization advisors, a washington based Risk Advisory group focused on west africa. She was formally with the State Department in niger. This Military Coup was not exactly precedented. That said, we need to be clear that niger itself has only had one democratic election, that being the one that got us president bazoum in the first place. So coups in general are somewhat of a familiar terrain for nigerians and for the government, for the region, for that matter. That said, ecowass response to this coup is incredibly significant and probably one of the more severe responses weve seen in the region. The last time ecowas threatened the potential use of force to dislodge the coup was for the gambian coup that took place in 2016. Before that was in mali in 2012. So the point made is that the past five coups that have taken place in the sahel have not been met with such strong rhetoric by the regional bloc, but also the international community. So this is quite significant. Well, a fourth firefighters died in canada while battling the countrys worthwhile fire season on record. So far this season on record.

Clearing up the forests near his home in the east of scotland, josh says hes inspired by his children. Louise cowie went to meet him. Environmental anxiety is a real thing for a lot of people. Especially my generation. We grew up, all the worlds on fire, like, theres nothing you can do about it. Butjosh donaldson is doing something for the environment. For the last few years, hes been ridding the Angus Countryside of rubbish. Ill pick it up, ill carried up the hill. Ill come down, ill pick up another bit, ill carry it up there. Illjust keep doing it until its gone, you know . But its good to see the pile getting bigger at the top, and thats the driving factor.

Shell go for a walk and that wont be here, like. And that kind of drove me forward, to leave Something Better behind for her and the rest of her generation. Joshs online supporters raised funds for a van, to allow him to carry out even bigger clear ups, and his long term goal is to set up his own recycling centre.

Louise cowie, bbc news. Its nice to end on a positive story. That is all we have for you now. Im monica miller. Stay with bbc news. Hello. July has been a very wet month across the uk. And as we look towards the very end of the month, and, indeed, into the start of the new one, well, theres more rain on the way. Spells of wind and rain this week, rather cool as well. Now, looking back at the rainfall weve had so far, these figures are valid up to 10am on sunday. Can see that in preston 285 of the averagejuly rainfall. That means preston has had close to three times the rainfall we would expecting in a typicaljuly. And those figures got a further top up as sunday went on because we saw a band of Heavy Rain Pushing Northwards And Eastwards In Association with this frontal system still with us for monday morning. All tied in with this area of low pressure, which will be wobbling its way eastwards through the day. So a band of Rain Pushing Northwards across scotland, some sunshine, at least for a time in the north of scotland, and then to the south of that, for northern ireland, for england and wales, large amounts of clouds and mistand murk, some splashes of rain and, actually, some really heavy and persistent rain across the Channel Islands that Mayjust Graze into southern counties of england at times. Temperatures 17 21 degrees in most places. So at the oval for the crickets, i think we are going to see some showers at times. Im hopeful of some lengthy dry spells as well to allow some play to take place. And then as we move through monday nights, well, quite a mishmash of weather. Some areas of clouds, a bit of mist and murk, some splashes of rain. We mayjust see a few more clear spells working into the mix by the end of the night, temperatures of 12 or 13 or 14 degrees. Now, tuesday looks set to be one of the drier days of the week. I cant promise its going to be completely dry. Therell still be some bits and pieces of rain, some showers around. But we should at least get to see some spells of sunshine and some decent dry gaps between the showers. Rain, though, youll notice, returning to the Far Southwest of england later in the day. And temperatures at best 17 21 degrees, not particularly impressive for the first day of august. And then for wednesday, well, this deep area of low pressure pushes eastwards. This is a very autumnal looking weather chart. There will be some really strong winds, particularly on the southern flank of this low around the southwest of england, also through the Channel Islands can be very windy indeed. Some outbreaks of rain, and then it looks like staying decidedly cool towards the end of the week.
