Britainhas named the head of the Canada's central bank as a new governor of the Bank of England. Mark Carney a Canadian, would be the first foreigner to lead Britain's prime financial institution since it was founded more than three centuries ago. Here's our economic correspondent Andrew Walker.
The British Finance Minister or Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne described Mark Carney as simply the best, most experienced and most qualified person for the role. Mr Carney, he said, has done a brilliant job in his current position in Canada. Bank of England governor is one of the most powerful official posts in Britain. The bank sets interest rate independently of the government and is gaining new powers to regulate the financial sector. Mr Carney is a Canadian national, though the chancellor said he intends to apply for a British citizenship.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has called off a mass rally planned for Tuesday in support of President Mursi, who last week awarded himself sweeping new powers. The Brotherhood said that the decision was made to prevent violence as opposition parties are also planning demonstrations. President Mursi has been meeting senior Egyptian judges to try to defuse the crisis. His spokesman said he would not withdraw the decree, but agreed to reassure the judges that the scope of his new powers was limited to matters of sovereignty. Jon Leyne is in Cairo.
We just heard from the president's spokesman, it is a five-hour long meeting between the president and judges. That meeting has ended. And it sounds from the language of the President's spokesman although we already have had his side of the story so far, that they may have reached a compromise. Specifically, according to the president's spokesman that the president made clear that his decisions are immune from judicial scrutiny are only confined to sovereign ones to protect state institutions. So it's an administrative decision on lesser things will still be subject to the courts.
Firefighters in Southern Germany say 14 people have died in a blaze at a workshop for disabled people. At least six others were injured in the fire in the Black Forest town of Titisee-Neustadt. Stephen Evans reports from Berlin.
The fire happened in a workshop run by the Catholic charity Caritas for people with mental and physical disabilities. Smoke was spotted on the roof of the two-story building early in the afternoon. Some people were trapped and attempts were made by firefighters in breathing apparatus to rescue them. It seems the fire may have started in a store room.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has told parliament that the garment factory fire on Saturday in which more than 100 people were killed was not an accident but preplanned. She said CCTV footage of a different factory taken on Sunday night showed a woman deliberately starting a fire. Earlier, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the capital Dhaka demanding justice.

Syrian rebels say they captured a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates river in the north of the country. A BBC correspondent says that if confirmed, the seizure of the Tishrin dam would add to the growing encirclement of Aleppo, Syria's commercial capital. The city is already half under rebel control. Earlier, Syrian opposition activists said a government jet dropped a cluster bomb on the rebel held village near Damascus, killing ten children.
Police in Nigeria say gunmen have attacked security headquarters in a heavily guarded part of the capital Abuja freeing some prisoners. The buildings housed the special anti-robbery squad. Suspected members of the Islamist group Boko Haram are also held there. The police say about 30 prisoners escaped during the attack, but most were recaptured. Two policemen died.
Hundreds of mustached men have gathered in Kosovo's capital Pristina to mark the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence. The ethnic Albanians have grown moustaches in honor of the moustachioed leaders who declared Albania independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1912. Tom Esslemont reports.
For the last few weeks, many men in Kosovo have been cautious with their razors. The reason to feel as close to the then moustachioed Albanian forefathers as facial hair would allow. After all, it was that generation which's credited with liberating Albania from the Ottoman Empire, even the country's King Zog who ruled from the 1920s with well known for a neat little moustache. Now during the course of Albinian centenary celebrations, the moustache has made it come back.
