Mr. Mandela was taken to hospital on Thursday night on the advice of his doctors. He's said to be responding well to treatment for a recurring lung infection.

Earlier, banks had opened for the first time in almost two weeks. And queues outside were long but orderly. BBC's Nigel Cassidy reports from Nicosia. The country's president thanked people for what he called their maturity. But this doesn't mean people here have come to terms with events. It's not just the huge losses facing those with more than 100,000 Euros in their accounts. To trounce stop bank runs, Cyprus has imposed a string of restrictions on sending money abroad. It's not even possible to cash a check. It has to be paid in and cleared first. Such restrictions on the free movement of money have never been seen before in the European Union. The finance minister says they are temporary. But the history of similar capital controls in other countries suggests such safeguards are difficult to remove because of the renewed risk of another bank run.
