This is the first picture of Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai since she was shot in the head by the Taliban.
The bullet that struck the 14-year-old "grazed" her brain and caused physical damage to it, doctors have confirmed.
But Dr Dave Rosser, of Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where she is being treated, said Malala was "doing well" and had been able to stand up for the first time.

With her hair covered by a scarf, Malala lies in bed, clutching a teddy bear, in the first public image of her since the attack earlier this month.
"There is certainly physical damage to the brain but at the moment we are not seeing any deficit in terms of function. She is able to understand and write," he said.

The teenager was shot with two classmates as they made their way home from school in north west Pakistan, in what Foreign Secretary William Hague described as a "barbaric attack".
Thousands of people from around the world have posted messages of support for the schoolgirl on the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust website.
