Charlie Hebdo columnist on why latest edition depicts Prophet Muhammad

The French magazine Charlie Hebdo has revealed the cover of its first issue since the bloody attack on its offices.

It shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a 'Je Suis Charlie' sign under the headline "All Is Forgiven."

Zineb El Rhazoui, a Charlie Hebdo columnist who was on holiday in Morocco when the attack happened, told Today the Charlie Hebdo staff are proud of the latest edition.

She said she was very happy with the cover and that "if the terrorists hadn't killed my colleagues it would have been about culture or sport".

"Now three million people will have the Prophet Muhammad's drawing at home".

On forgiveness she said: "Charlie Hebdo's team needs to forgive. We know that the struggle is not with people but with an ideology".
