Dozens killed in Pakistan mosque bomb attack that targeted police - BBC News
At least 47 people have been killed by a bomb that the country's prime minister claims targeted policemen praying in a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan.
The mosque is within the tightly-guarded police headquarters area.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said "terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform the duty of defending Pakistan".
No group has said it carried out the attack, but it has been linked to the Pakistan Taliban.

The Brexit referendum of 2016 divided the UK. For some Brexit was an exhilarating opportunity, for others a self-inflicted wound.
It led to the immediate downfall of former prime minister David Cameron, the tormenting and eventual toppling of his successor Theresa May, and along the way it raised questions about the durability of the United Kingdom.

Newsnight’s political editor Nick Watt has been assessing the political mood.

Priscilla Presley, rock'n'roll legend Elvis Presley's ex-wife, has filed a legal challenge to the validity of their late daughter's will.
Lisa Marie Presley, the couple's only child, died two weeks ago at the age of 54 after a cardiac arrest.
The court petition disputes a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie's will that ousted Priscilla as the estate trustee, with lawyers claiming the document misspelled her mother's name and had a signature that appeared unusual.

Hundreds of people have been killed after a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck south-east Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of Monday morning.
The earthquake struck early in the morning, while most people were sleeping. Hundreds of buildings were completely destroyed, with tremors felt as far as Cyprus and Egypt, prompting Italy to issue a tsunami alert for coastal populations.
The epicentre for the 7.8-magnitude quake was in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, with much of the devastation around the border region where hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Syrian civil war reside.
