Striking miners of the Lonmin platinum mine in South Africa are to return to work. They are reported to have accepted the pay offer. Milton Nkosi has the details from Johannesburg.

The miners who have been at the centre of a six-week and violent wage dispute have agreed to return to work on Thursday. The agreement is believed to be about 22% increase across the board . The workers, most of whom are rock drill operators, had gathered at a football pitch near Marikana mine, cheered when they were informed of the 22% offer.

Controversial remarks by the Republican challenger Mitt Romney caught on camera at a fund raising gala have reignited debate in the American presidential election campaign. A Liberal magazine released new extracts of a video in which Mr. Romney says the Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel. In the early excerpt, he said 47% of Americans paid no federal income taxes showed themselves of victims and lived on handouts . Here's our North America editor Mark Mardell.

The problem from Mr. Romney is that this is a just latest incident that puts him on the back foot . Endlessly explaining himself when he needs to be making an aggressive case. The campaign seems to have reacted very badly to opinion polls suggesting Mr Obama surged ahead of the party conventions. They say they are now changing their message away from the purely economic to a broader one with more specifics.

Doctors in Sweden have carried out what they described as the first transplant of wombs from mothers to their daughters. One of the two daughters involved had lost her own uterus to cervical cancer while the other was born without one. Tom Esslemont reports.

Ten surgeons were involved. They had trained together for years to make it happen after it was discovered that the womb of a menopausal woman could still be transplanted to a younger woman hoping to get pregnant. One of the women who is not revealed her identity is said to be optimistic about her chances of conceiving. Doctors say that although there are no guarantees the woman can now get pregnant, they will be able to start trying using invitro fertilization in about a year.

Police in Pakistan say at least 6 people have died in a bomb attack in the southern city of Karachi. Police say the bomb was hidden inside a motorbike which was parked near the entrance to a mosque used by Ismaili shitte Muslims. It isn't yet clear who carried out the attack.

The 17-day visit is the first by the opposition leader to the United States since her release from house arrest last year.

We will need external help. We will need the help of our friends abroad from all over the world. But in the end we have to build our own democracy for ourselves.
