People in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka mourn the passing of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia who has died at the age of 80. The government declared three days of state mourning, with her funeral to be held on Wednesday. In late November, Zia was rushed to hospital, where, despite the best efforts of medics, her condition deteriorated from a raft of health issues. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus said Bangladesh "has lost a great guardian".
