Al-Jazeera man ‘reborn’ out of Egypt jail

Al-Jazeera’s Australian journalist Peter Greste, speaking a day after his release from prison in Egypt, says his freedom was something of a “rebirth” and that key to his well-being while incarcerated for more than a year was exercising, studying and meditating.

In his first public comments since his release, he tells Al-Jazeera English that he is looking forward to watching a “few sunsets” and the stars, as well as spending time with his family.

“It is those little beautiful moments of life that are really precious,” he says.
