Apparently, three or four rather, four suicide bombers, men with explosive vests, climbed the walls of the mosque went into the building stormed the building during friday prayers, three of them blew themselves up. The fourth one was apparently brought down by the worshippers. Now, the explosions of course caused panic inside the mosque as you mentioned, 19 people at least, were killed. Several more injured. The wounded were taken to nearby hospitals. There were really scenes of chaos and panic. We saw on local Television One man wielding a pistol carrying his child out of the mosque. Now, its important to remember that this is a shia mosque and this is not the first time that theres been violence against shias in pakistan.

Theyve put out a tape showing the suicide bombers explaining the mission that they were about to undertake. And of course the police here in the area of peshawar the very restive province in northwest pakistan believe that this is a retaliation for the operations that the army is undertaking in the northwest against militants in the area on the border with afghanistan.

A Court Ordered their release, pending a retrial that will take place later this month. Mohamed fahmy had to pay bail and has to check in with the Police Station every day. Our correspondent in cairo, sally nabil, has been telling me about the reaction to this release. Reporter it is a sense of relief, a sense of happiness, whether among the defendants families the lawyers, or even among human rights activists and journalists here in europe the two journalists were released this morning from a Police Station. They didnt give any statement to the press. However, i had spoken to their families yesterday in court, and the sense i got is that they now, they are getting ready for a break, a breath of freedom. They are going to spend some time together. A picture of Baher Mohameds family has been posted on twitter this morning with the word, reunion below the picture. Baher mohameds younger son was born while he was in prison. Now it is his first chance to hold his baby away from security guards. The whole family of Baher Mohamed or Mohamed Fahmy, they are now ready for just having some time together. They had hoped for a breath of freedom and happiness, even for a couple of days. Both journalists have to show up in the courtroom on the 23rd of february for a new session of the retrial. Ive spoken to the lawyers and they said that yesterdays ruling was a good sign that brings a lot of hope and optimism. Its a step in the right direction. They believe that this might be the First Step Towards their acquittal at the very end of the Legal Process. But they dont know how long the new trial will take. However, the court of sesation which reversed the original verdict, said that there was no solid evidence to support the charges leveled against these journalists. They were accused of aiding the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, but there is no evidence to support these serious charges against them. Theres been further fighting in ukraine in spite of the new ceasefire deal that is due to come into force at the end of saturday. Shelling in lieu hanks. These pictures are said to be of heavy shelling last night in lieu hanks, although they have been broadcast on Ukrainian Television they cannot be independently verified. Separatists there say three people were killed. Ukraines army say eight of its soldiers have been killed and 34 wounded in the past 24 hours, and that was in fighting around the town of debaltseve. Around the rebelheld city of donetsk, lets hear more from James Reynolds. Reporter here in donetsk, we continue to hear the sounds of war, the sounds of explosions in the distance of artillery fire. Weve also seen footage posted online from the rebelheld city of luhansk, which shows heavy fighting at night. And the Ukrainian Army has said that in the last 24 hours, it has lost a number of its own service men. In other words, in the runup to this ceasefire this planned ceasefire the conflict does continue. And now all sides are looking at the practicalities, at the details of implementing that agreement, including withdrawing heavy armor from both sides to create a buffer zone and looking very, very closely at that demarcation line. Ukraines president , petrov poroshenko, says said his military commanders will meet Russian Military commanders to go through details and to begin looking at implementation. The ceasefire is due to start at the end of saturday but few here in donetsk and perhaps few on the other side in governmentheld territory expect a complete or sudden end to war. Thats James Reynolds there. Now to news after surges of Illegal Migrants trying to enter the European Union. Most of the focus in the news has been on human tragedy. Migrants from the middle east trying unsuccessfully to cross the borders by boat. In the past week Hungarian Police have arrested 8,000 people who have crossed the border into europe from serbia. Now, theyre mainly Ethnic Albanians that are have neighboringneighbor ing kosovo who are making that journey. Lucy williamson brings us more. Reporter welcome to europes latest border bypass. Hungry sleepy southern frontier, now an underground highway into the heart of europe. Over the past few weeks, a thousand Illegal Migrants a day have been crossing this eu border with serbia most of them from kosovo. Their journey marked by a trail of clothes and burnt out fires. Along with the socks and the sim cards abandoned here by the border are these serbian travel documents, issued to people from kosovo. This one is for a 22yearold man and this one is for a 1monthold baby. Driving up with the local Border Patrol it didnt take long to find some. Hiding in a field, five men from kosovo. How many others have come this way before them i asked . Thousands. A thousand people, from my village, 200, 300. Reporter extra police have been drafted into the area but hungary cant routinely detain Asylum Seekers under eu law, so once Asylum Seekers are filed, they are free to slip across the border into their final destination. New efforts to tighten security at airports see ridiculous when you see how open the border is here. If a syrian or an iraqi wanted to carry out a terrorist attack he wouldnt fly to western europe, he would walk across this border next to my village and no one would stop him. Reporter across the border in serbia, the units are cracking down. But hundreds each day are still getting through. In a clearing on the hungarian side we found these new arrivals from mali syria, and afghanistan. Among them 3yearold amir. Hed fallen sick and hadnt eaten for days. After seven months on the road this brief wait for a doctor the hardest part of all. For police its all part of a welloiled routine, as the lottery of this poorest border delivers a new life for amer and a new problem for europe. Lucy williamson bbc news on the hungarian border. Lets turn our attention now to babies being born every second, its reported four or five babies are being born around the world right now. But the cost of bringing a child into the world, it can vary enormously just depending on where that baby is born. Our colleague marisa oy recently gave birth in singapore and we asked her to sum up her experience for us. 1. 9 kilograms. Reporter like every expectant parent, ultrasouth sound sounds are a highlight in being pregnant. A chance to meet our daughter. But after every hospital with visit, the joy is overshadowed by the reality of just how much the whole experience is costing. In singapore, thats been about 200 and the actual birth will cost 6,000 to 7,000. So how does it compare to the rest of the world. In the u. S. The average is more than four times at 30,000. If you have a cesarean section, youll need another 20,000. But in countries like the uk canada brazil or south africa you can give birth for free at a public hospital. Youre basically paying fee for service or ala cart. And everything that you get, you pay for and your Insurance Company pays for first, and then you typically pay 20 or 30 of the bill. So if you get an epidural in childbirth, youre going to pay for it and those bills rack up. And well before going into labor, wherever you live preparing for a new baby is not cheap. From the cot to the clothes, they all add up. Sarah is a money saving expert and a mother of four in london. A lot of places a lot of them are paid and they could be endorsed by a particular brand that is trying to sell you something, everyones trying to sell you something all the time. And there are sites all over the world where you can borrow something for a week to try it. Reporter but temptation is everywhere. And Baby Products are going hightech, including these monitors. This is actually detects breathing from the baby. It will send an alarm to the parents if there is irregular breathing or theres no breathing or movement for 20 seconds. But it comes with a price tag of almost 400 u. S. Hello and if you need child care thats an additional burden. Compared to countries like the uk, a nursery or even a livein help is more affordable in singapore. But this facility would still cost us 1,500 a month.

Lets turn our attention to hormone replacement therapy and many women who undergo it, there is now apparently an increased risk for some of those of getting Ovarian Cancer. According to a study in the british medical journal, the analysis is by the university of oxford and it says one extra case for every thousand women that are receiving the treatment. Lets speak now with katherine harrah, the acting chief executive at ovarian concert action. And i would be so interested to hear your reaction to this report this morning. Good morning and thank you. At ovariance cancer action, we welcome this report opinion anything that helps to paint a clearer picture in the risk of Ovarian Cancer, its useful for women to have better information about some of the risks entailed. And there can be sometimes tlm too much information. I mean, very difficult for a woman who is trying to decide what to do. One case were for every thousand women taking hrt, how do you advise people to come to you for advice on this . Weve known for some time that there has been an association between an increased risk of Breast Cancer and hrt, and this new report does suggest that there is an increased risk of developing Ovarian Cancer as well, as you point out, its a 1 in a thousand risk. And what you would recommend, is that women discuss their options with their Health Care Providers. There is one group of women for whom this report would be of particular interest. And theyre women is what is called a barakagene mutation and if you have this your risk of cancer increases from 1 in 54, which is standard in the population, to 1 in 2. If you know that youre already at a high risk owing to this familyinherited the trait as was made very famous by Angelina Jolie recently, then we would recommend that you pay particular interest and discuss your options with your Health Care Provider before taking our hrt over a prolonged period. Its really become a casebycase basis it sounds like, what you are recommending miss taylor. Thats right. And we would always say that each woman is individual and the best advice that you can take is to discuss all your options with your gp or Health Care Provider. What i would say is whether youre taking hrt or not is to be symptom aware. Ovarian cancer can be a disease thats quite hard to detect, because the symptoms can be confused with other things, for example, irritable bowl syndrome, so we would always recommend to women to keep a symptom diary. You can download that from our website, which is www. Ovarian. Org. Uk and the key is persistence. And what you should be looking for is persistent bloating, feeling persistent tummy pain, feeling very full after meals or even if youve eaten a small amount and needing to pee more often. So if youre concerned, keep a log of your symptoms and talk promptly to your gp. Because if Ovarian Cancer is treated promptly, your chance of survival is much greater. That is katherine taylor, the acting chief executive at Ovarian Cancer action, really the back behind that headline. Now to cuba. Normalizing relations has been a long time but those who will probably benefit the most, the Younger Generation in cuba, are said to be disengaged in politics. The leaders are in their 70s and 80s. Will grant in havana brings us this report from a major student rally. Reporter every year on the anniversary of his death, cuba students light a flame to the countrys founding father, an independence hero who embodied the rebelliousness of cuban youth. Known as the march of the torches, this was the first Big Government event since historic talks with the United States in january. The young marchers said they welcomed the steps towards a thaw. Its important, because the north American People form part of cuban history, and we share a single american identity says this students. There were many reasons why cuba has decided to renew ties with washington now. Some say its mainly economic, but others see social factors, such as age playing a role. Leading the march were senior members of the poll it bureau. Unsome of the men governing cuba are in their mid80s. He believes cubas youth has become disengaged with politics. They need to change many things. They need to explain better where we going so the people can have some consensus about it. And then youre going to have a much more United Country that way. Also the younger people are going to bust up. Reporter fidel castro recently reappeared in photos alongside a student leader a message, perhaps that the cuban revolution will continue for years to come. But there are those in the government who fear that unless change happens as soon as, they will lose future generations of young cubans, not just geographically to the United States, but also in the battle for their hearts and minds. Reporter the waters ahead for the u. S. And cuba are still rough, with several key questions to be resolved. Many young people are waiting to see what the thaw will bring before decideing where their futures lie. But government reporters say the age gap in cuban politics has been exaggerated. So that report coming from cuba and will grant. Now, ever wondered what a president gets up to when nobodys looking . Thanks obama.

A shia mosque in peshawar in northwest pakistan is attacked by suicide bombers. At least 19 people are killed. Baher mohamed, the last of the three al jazeera journalists, who has been in prison in egypt for more than a year, has been released. Fighting continues in eastern ukraine, in the runup to the latest ceasefire. The eu threatens russia with more sanctions if it fails to observe the truce. And racing to get ready in rio. Will the next olympic city be up for the challenge of hosting the game . Welcome to the program. At least 19 people have been killed in pakistan and more than 40 were wounded in a Suicide Attack. That was on a shia mosque in the Northern City of peshawar. Police say a group of armed men sprayed worshippers with gun fire during friday prayers before three explosions went off. Our correspondent, kim ghattas, updated us just a short while ago from islamabad. Weve been speaking to a police chief in the area, whos told us for more details about how the attack unfolded apparently four suicide bombers men with explosive vests climbed the walls of the mosque, went into the building stormed the building during friday prayers. Three of them blew themselves up. The fourth one was apparently brought down by the worshippers. Now, the explosions of course, caused panic inside the mosque, as you mentioned. 19 people at least were killed. Several more injured. The wounded were taken to nearby hospitals. There were really scenes of chaos and panic. We saw on television, local television, one man wielding a pistol carrying his child out of the mosque. Now, its important to remember that this is a shia mosque and this is not the first time that theres been violence against shias in pakistan. This is a very large minority here, but its come under attack many times before. The last time was just two weeks ago in the south of the country in the town of shiekharpoor. Another attack there killed at least 61 people. Has there been any response from the government yet kim . Reporter no Immediate Response from the government itself, but of course weve been hearing from local authorities. The police saying the country is at war against militants, against terrorists. Weve had a sort of claim of responsibility from the Pakistani Taliban already. Theyve apparently put out a tape, were still trying to lay eyes on it on the footage. Theyve put out a tape, showing the suicide bombers explaining the mission that they were about to undertake. And of course, the police here, in the area of peshawar the very restive province in northwest pakistan, believe that this is retaliation for the operations that the army is undertaking here in the northwest, against militants in the area, on the border with afghanistan. Kim ghattas there. Well bring you more details as we get them. Theres been further fighting in ukraine. Thats in spite of a new ceasefire deal that is due to come into force at the end of saturday. Artillery fire thats being heard in the rebelheld city of donetsk and shelling reported in the rebelheld town of luhansk. These pictures are said to be of that heavy shelling taking place in lieu hanks last night. Although they have they have been broadcast on Ukrainian Television they cannot be independentlily verified. Separatists said three people were killed. Ukraines arm says eight of its soldiers were killed and 34 were wounded in the past 24 hours in fighting that was taking place around the town of debaltseve. From the rebelheld city of donetsk, lets hear from James Reynolds. Reporter the ceasefire has yet to begin and here in donetsk, we continue to hear the sounds of war. The sounds of explosions in the distance of artillery fire. Weve also seen footage posted online from the rebelheld city of luhansk which shows heavy fighting at night. And the Ukrainian Army has said in the last 24 hours, it has lost a number of its own service men. In other words, in the runup to this ceasefire this planned ceasefire the conflict does continue. And we know that all sides are now looking at the practicalities, at the details of implementing that agreement, including withdrawing heavy armor from both sides to create a buffer zone and looking very, very closely at that demarcation line. Ukraines president , petrov poroshenko, has said that his military commanders will meet Russian Military commanders to go through details and to begin looking at implementation. The ceasefire is due to start at the end of saturday but few here in donetsk and perhaps few on the other side in governmentheld territory expect a complete or sudden end to war. So James Reynolds there. I also got a short while ago to speak to bbcs philippa thomas, who is following the talks in brussels. And i asked her what the reaction to these talks have been in the eu summit. Reporter a great deal of relief that the deals were signed in minsk, imagine if they hadnt been. But beyond that, there is wareness about whether this ceasefire will take hold. The 28 European Union leaders as they leave brussels today, theyre watching and listening to reports like what we just heard from james, about renewed shelling and about the determination of the rebels on the ground not to give ground from any territory theyve gained. There are fears of further bloodshed in the next two days. Now, before he left the European Council building last night, i spoke to one of the, one of europes leaders about what has been said about Angela Merkel and francois hollande, as they came back from the peace talks in minsk. I heard a little bit more from syrias Prime Minister. Well, we hear that negotiations were not easy, but of course, we do hope this is a step forward. Everybodys very cautious, to be optimistic, because we have seen peace agreements before and unfortunately, those didnt work out. I really do hope that this time, we will see actions also, because agreement is very important, but the implementation is much much more important. And what isif the ceasefire cant be made to work on the ground . Where does the eu go then . Where do you think it should go . I wouldnt want to speculate on that. I really do hope that this works out. The worrying thing, of course, is that we still have about two days to go until the ceasefire and what im personally afraid of is that there probably will be escalation from russian side during that two days. So i do note that these two days can be survived. Otherwise, we can hear tremendous numbers of casualties. And that will be very, very disappointing, of course. I suppose one of the issues is that the rebels, the separatists dont want to stop, theyve been doing very well militarily, have been taking ground in recent weeks and may try to push that ground even further. We have been seeing Russian Support for the socalled separatists has been increasing and this has been giving them the opportunity to go further. And of course, there is a clear linkage between their action now and where they want to go before the ceasefire takes place. As we spoke here today, battles were ongoing in debaltseve, and this is not the best surrounding for talking about peace. This is really troublesome and worrying for us. Reporter now ive also been talking about to the Prime Minister of latvia, and she told me the first thing she wanted to say was to pay tribute to Angela Merkel the german chancellor, because she really has been the key peacemaker not least in managing to get the russian president s putin and ukrainian president poroshenko sitting down together, just think about what Angela Merkel has done over the last few days, in the last seven days, shes been in kiev, moscow munich, washington, back to minsk for those 17 hours of negotiations, and back to brussels here to brief her fellow european leaders. I would say that this week Angela Merkel is the answer to that famous political question from washington from henry kissinger, who said, if i want to call europe who do i call . Philippa thomas there. And indeed many have been speculating on exactly how many hours sleep has Angela Merkel got this week. Lets turn our attention to boko haram. It has carried out its first deadly attack in chad. Officials say fighters came across chad by motorboat during the night and attacked a village. Residents say the militants killed several people before being pushed back by chadian troops. Lets have a chat now with our west african correspondent joining us in senegal. What more can you tell us about this, thomas . Reporter well, a bit more details are coming in. It seems that the boko haram fighters arrived at 3 00 in the morning, so it was an overnight raid. They arrived on the boat according to the chadian army and opened fire on the village. Remember, this is where we reported from just a few weeks ago, when we were gathering testimonies from the many refugees who had fled the violence from just across the border in the towns ofthere. The village was attacked overnight. The chadian army says they were able to fight them off and push them back across the border they are still in pursuit of those fighters and they managed to kill two of them injure another five and on their side one chadian soldier was reported killed according to the chadian army, and another four injured. The chadian army also says that only one civilian casualty was counted. The district chief was killed by a stray bullet they say, during the attack. Put this in regional context for us, thomas. Because weve been hearing about, you know, an interRegional Force, trying to combat boko haram the militant group. But this first attack perhaps this changes things. This is the first attack on chads territory but boko haram has been attacking neighboring cameroon for nearly a year now. Its been launching attacks on niger in neighboring niger. Just over the last few days we saw two attacks in neighboring in the border towns of niger. And remember, chad has been deploying troops to the south of its territory in northern cameroon, but also in neighboring niger. And chad is now facing the sort of lead of this regional defensive against the nigerian insurgency, which is clearly not just a nigerian problem anymore. It is attacking on different fronts, not only in nigeria, but in three other neighboring countries, cameroon chad, and niger, as i just said. So this is more and more looking like a regional war, but with only one more territory to be attacked across borders, it was chad, and now its suffered its first attack. It is definitely an original war. What the countrys army will be able to do against it, we have yet to see how theyll be managing to cobble together that Regional Force that theyve been talking about. Thomas ressy, thank you. To egypt Baher Mohamed and Mohamed Fahmy have left prison in egypt after being freed on bail. A Court Ordered their release pending a retrial later this month. Mohamed fahmy, he also had to post 33,000 bail and check in at a Police Station every day. Our correspondent in cairo sally nabil, told me more about reaction to their release. It is a sense of relief a sense of happiness, whether among the defendants families, the lawyers, or even among human rights activists and journalists here in egypt the two journalists were released this morning from a Police Station. They didnt give any statements to the press. However, i have spoken to the families yesterday in court and the sense i got is that they now, they are getting ready for a break, a breath of freedom. They are going to spend some time together. A picture of Baher Mohameds family has been posted on picture this morning with the words reunion below the picture. Baher mohameds youngest son was born while he was in prison. Now it is his first chance to hold his baby apart, away from security guards. The whole family of Baher Mohamed or Mohamed Fahmy, they are now ready for just having some time together. They will pose for a breath of freedom, pose for happiness just for a couple of days. Both journalists have to show up in the courtroom on the 2rd3rd of february nor a new session of the retrial. Ive spoken to the lawyers and they said that yesterdays ruling was a good sign that brings a lot of hope and optimism. Its a step in the right direction. They believe that this might be the First Step Towards their acquittal, at the very end of the Legal Process but they still dont know how long the new trial will take. However, the court which reversed the original verdict, its said that there were no solid evidence to support the charges leveled against these journalists. They were accused of setting false news of aiding the banned Muslim Brotherhood group, but there is no evidence to support these serious charges leveled against them. Sally nabil there. Stay with us.

In myanmar 47 soldier have been killed and 73 injured in three days of fighting against a small rebel army. Statecontrolled news agency, the global new light of myanmar, are reporting that the soldiers were killed in clashes with rebels from a group and also that air strikes have been used in response. This is the heaviest outbreak of fighting in myanmar in at least two years. Heres our report from jenna fisher. Reporter the ethnic group and their armed wing is a remnant of the burmese communist party, which disintegrated in 1989. For a long time, they have administered or had a large degree of autonomy over a stretch of land on the northeastern burmese border with china. Now, what appears to have triggered this latest bout of fighting is the return of one of the leaders from five years of exile in china. He was forced out in 2009 by the burmese and hes now returned talking about restoringe inging respect and restoring real autonomy to the people. And that has seen several attacks on government positions. The information which weve been given about the fighting comes largely from the burmese government side, in one of the burmese burmeseowned or largely owned newspapers today it reported 47 casualties from the burmese army. Its likely that that is an underestimation of the situation. In one of the military newspapers today, it talks about a situation in which they have grenades rocket launchers, even some antiaircraft equipment. So certainly they are wellequipped. And this is a pretty significant uptick in the fighting in the last couple of years, weve not heard of any incident in the many border conflicts here in myanmar, which comes even close to the number of casualties being reported now. Jenna fisher reporting. Friends and families have been paying tribute to steve strange. The musician who helped shape the new replantuew romantic era of the 1980s.
