The United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency session in New York to discuss the killing of more than 100 civilians in the Syrian town of Houla. Jane O'Brien reports from Washington.
The emergency Security Council meeting was called by Russia after officials objected to the wording of a press statement proposed by Britain and France. The statement was in response to the mass killing on Friday of civilians including dozens of children in Houla.
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon joined the chorus of international condemnation directed at the Syrian government over the weekend. But the Assad's regime has denied responsibility; and Russia wants more information before agreeing to any Security Council statement. UN observers in Syria found tank shells at the scene and said many injuries were caused by shrapnel and gunfire at point-blank range .
Some news just in. Speaking to the BBC, a British diplomat said the head of the UN observer mission in Syria told the Security Council that a large number of casualties in Houla were a result of Syrian government shelling. The diplomat said a statement from the Security Council is expected to condemn the killing of civilians, and said the deaths occurred as a result of government shelling of residential neighborhoods.
Nepal's Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has announced elections in six months' time. The country is in political crisis over the failure to agree a new constitution. Jill McGivering reports.
Nepal has been waiting for four years for its politicians to agree a new constitution. But a final deadline expired at midnight on Sunday without agreement, plunging the country into crisis. With the life of the current Assembly over, Nepal has entered a political vacuum . The prime minister addressed the nation to announce fresh elections in six months' time. For many in Nepal, frustrated with this lengthy stalemate , it's depressing news. Politicians still seem as divided as ever on a central issue whether states in a new federal system should or shouldn't be formed along ethnic lines.
Tens of thousands of Georgians have attended a rally in Tbilisi to launch a new opposition alliance led by a billionaire businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili. It comes ahead of parliamentary elections in October. From Tbilisi, Damien McGuinness.
This is the first time in years that so many government critics have taken to the streets in Georgia. Previous rallies have been undermined by a bickering and divided opposition, but Mr Ivanishvili has used his wealth to unite the opposition, and to bankroll a starting to look like a slick election campaign. His supporters accuse President Saakashvili of authoritarianism, and say he's not doing enough to tackle poverty and unemployment.
