Thousands of people have gathered today outside Mozambique's capital for the burial of a slain opposition lawyer as the country awaits the election results.

About two dozen world leaders are meeting in Russia for a summit of the BRICS group, an alliance of emerging economies the Kremlin hopes will challenge Western influence in global markets and politics.
