French magazine Charlie Hebdo goes on sale in the UK

Hundreds of people queued from the early hours outside UK shops selling the latest edition of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

It comes as around 10 people have been arrested and questioned over the "possible logistical support" they may have provided three gunmen who carried out last week's attacks in Paris, Agence France-Presse reports.

Welby responds to Pope comments on mocking religion

The Archbishop of Canterbury has appeared to distance himself from the Pope's suggestion that people who mock religion should "expect a punch".

Speaking to ITV News, Most Rev Justin Welby said that he witnessed some "viciously" attacking the Church - including French magazine Charlie Hebdo - but added: "We live in a society where I may be offended but I'm not going to respond aggressively."

"We have to be robust about the way in which we are criticised and there have to be very clear limits as to what is acceptable," he added.

"Things that stir up hatred, things that stir up the despising of other people are things that are intolerable."

On Friday, Pope Francis criticised the French satirical magazine for publishing an image of the Prophet Mohammed, saying: "You can't insult the faith of others."

Charlie Hebdo gunmen 'buried in unmarked graves'

The gunmen behind the deadly attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo have reportedly been buried in unmarked graves amid tight security.

Cherif Kouachi was buried overnight in his hometown of Gennevilliers near Paris, an official from the local mayor's office told AFP while his brother and accomplice Said Kouachi was buried late on Friday in Reims.

Both brothers have been buried in unmarked graves to prevent them from becoming shrines for Islamists.

The pair attacked Charlie Hebdo on January 7, killing 12 people. They were killed by police two days later during a standoff at an industrial estate north of Paris.

Copies of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo are in short supply after seven million were sold following the deaths of 10 of its journalists.

The front cover shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a Je Suis Charlie placard which has become a symbol for freedom of speech.

All copies sold out in France within minutes and some distributors in the UK have been unable to get copies due to such high demand.

The newspaper usually has a circulation of 60,000.

Religious leaders join forces to condemn Paris attacks

Senior religious leaders from Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions joined forces to present a united condemnation of last week's terror attacks in France.

An interfaith "unity gathering" was held at the Islamic Cultural Centre at Regents Park Mosque in London, with around 20 prominent religious figures attending after the attacks, which left 17 people dead.

Dr Shuja Shafi, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, told ITV News the massacre had "hurt and moved" everyone, and said the event had been organised to show such violence had "no place" in any faith.

He urged British Muslims to react with dignity after hundreds of copies of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, featuring a weeping Prophet Mohammed on the front, went on sale in the UK this morning.

We're at risk of doing the very thing the terrorists want us to do - divide our society.

Today I understand the English version of a Prophet Mohammed is being published.

Yes Muslims are no doubt hurt and offended by those depictions. But nothing offends us more than the insult, hurt and dishonour this attack has brought on our community and faith.

– Dr Shuja Shafi, Muslim Council of Britain
