Hello, I'm Tom Watts with the BBC news.

World leaders have agreed to stop all foreign interference in the conflict in Libya and uphold an arms embargo at a peace summit in Berlin. They also said they would try to consolidate a shaky ceasefire. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the decision.

Until now, we have an escalation of the Libyan conflict with some foreign interference. Now we were facing the risk of a true regional escalation. That escalation that was taking place and was becoming extremely dangerous. Today there is a strong commitment to stop it.
Prince Harry has expressed great sadness at his decision to step back from his royal duties but said he felt there was no other option. He made his first public comment since it was announced that he and his wife Meghan would stop using their royal titles and spend more time in Canada in a speech to his Sentebale charity.

I will continue to be the same man who holds his country dear and dedicates his life to supporting the causes, charities and military communities that are so important to me. Together, you have given me an education about living. And this role has taught me more about what is right and just than I could have ever imagined. We are taking a leap of faith, so thank you for giving me the courage to take this next step. Queen Elizabeth's grandson said the move followed months of talks.

The prisoners got out by digging a tunnel, but Paraguay's Justice Minister Cecilia Perez said they must have had help from guards.
