Violence in Quetta Mars Pakistan Election

BBC World Service - Newshour, Violence in Quetta Mars Pakistan Election

More than 30 dead in a bomb attack in the city of Quetta as votes are counted in Pakistan

More than 30 people have been killed in a bomb attack in the city of Quetta as votes are counted in Pakistan's election. Elsewhere, minor blasts and clashes between party workers left several injured and two dead. Opinion polls suggest the election battle will be between the parties of ex-cricket star Imran Khan and the disgraced former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Also on the programme: Rescue workers in Greece look for survivors after wildfires; questions asked after dam burst in Laos; and a court rules that the chocolate covered wafer bar Kit Kat is not unique.
