A senior member of the Afghan Taliban has been detained in Pakistan. Taliban sources said the man held is Hafiz Mohibullah, the Religious Affairs Minister in the Taliban administration in Afghanistan before 2001. Our Pakistan correspondent Secunder Kermani has more details. He had been living in the northern Pakistani city of Peshawar for a number of years, but he was detained by Pakistani authorities in the past few days. And now our sources, the senior Taliban figures speaking to us on condition of anonymity, has said that this move is part of a strategy by Pakistan to pressurize the Taliban into taking part in peace talks with US officials which they have already been doing it in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates but also crucially taking part in peace talks with the Afghan government who so far the Taliban have refused to meet because they dismissed them as puppets.

The Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is due to sign a decree today loosening the country's gun laws. Mr. Bolsonaro who took office earlier this month, made the pledge a key part of his presidential campaign. Candace Piette reports. Brazilians are desperate for better public security. In 2017, almost 64,000 people were murdered, two thirds died from gunshot wounds. But the latest polls say most Brazilians believe making firearms more available will pour gas on a raging fire. That hasn't stopped President Bolsonaro who says that by freeing up the existing gun laws, he can reduce crime. As a first step, Brazilians will only have to renew their gun license every ten years instead of five. They also won't have to work so hard to convince the police they need a firearm.
