caroline davies, bbc news.ier i asked our south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan to tell me more about the group whose rally was targeted. well, this islamist political party is called jamiat ulema—e—islam—fazl. it is that a member of the governing coalition at the national level. it is an influential political party in pakistan, there have been a number of rallies across the country over the years. they are seen as a hard—line political party. this is not the first time they were under attack. some of the leaders were attacked a couple of years ago, they also came under attack in 2014, the leader of the group came under a suicide attack, but he escaped very narrowly. so there have been attacks on them claimed by the islamic state group in south asia chapter and also another muslim extremist group because they think this political party is not truly islamic, and that has been a controversy going on in pakistan, but this is a rude awakening and shock to political parties because the elections are later this year,

that was caroline davies reporting on that suicide bombing. some vulnerable people are waiting years for the social care they need. research for the bbc suggests that in around a quarter of council areas, some had to wait more than a month on average — just to be assessed for social care. and that's having a knock on effect on the nhs, as patients become stuck in hospitals, meaning fewer beds are available. wyre davies reports. i can't afford to waste time at my age. i could go any day. lily is 96—years—old. she's frail and needs help with everyday tasks. but in the words of her friends, she's as sharp as a tack and she knows what she wants. i have to get out. i've had enough. ijust can't stand any more. lily's been in hospitalfor 11 months, and is a striking example of a common problem. a patient well enough to go home, but unable to leave hospital because there's no care available. with the help of friends, she's been keeping a video diary. so what's stopping you now from going home? no carers. we're just waiting because you can't find any c

our correspondent in islamabad, caroline davies, said new detail has been emerging about how the bombingimise the number of damage and destruction when the explosion went off. the hospitals have reported around 150 have been injured, some are still in a critical condition. we still have not heard from any group claiming the attack. the authorities have refuted the idea that the so—called islamic state is behind this attack. however, instead they say there are some indications that a local chapter with links to the so—called islamic state might have been involved. that sounds like two contradictory statements, but in fact it simply gives you more of an indication about how some of these militant groups operate. they may well have connections to larger terrorist and militant organisations, but they may also operate at a splinter cell relatively independently. this could be with the police are suggesting here, but at the moment they've also been quite careful to not say that they definitely believe any particular group is behind it. now the backdrop to all this of course is a fact that this
