In Bangladesh, thousands of people greeted the new Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus on Sunday when he visited the city of Jobra, the birthplace of his pioneering micro-credit scheme. Muhammad Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

• Muhammad Yunus: “There’s a fantastic celebration going on. It’s wonderful news for all of us, for Bangladesh as a whole. And also for microcredit, we are been doing this for last 30 years. Our people, young people have worked very hard to make a dream come true and today, in a way, that’s come true because the world have recognized that we did something people can rely on in getting poor people out of poverty.”
