BBC News with Zoe Diamond
President Bashar al-Assad of Syria has said his country is in a state of war 15 months after the uprising against his rule began. Mr Assad was speaking after a day of fighting between the Syrian army and rebels on the outskirts of the capital Damascus. Earlier, the United Nations Security Council was told that the conflict in Syria is worsening. From neighboring Lebanon, here's Jim Muir.
President Assad was addressing the first meeting of the new cabinet which emerged after general elections held in May, and he made it clear that the country and administration were on a war footing . "We are living a state of war, in all its aspects and in every meaning of the word," he told the ministers. "All policies and all directions in every sector had to be directed towards victory in that war." The implication of Mr Assad's remarks is that he expects the conflict to be a long haul . Events on the ground seemed to bear him out with both sides reporting violent clashes and many casualties in suburbs of Damascus as well as many other places around the country.
Russia has said that it's ready to attend a meeting on the Syria crisis that the international mediator Kofi Annan is trying to organize for Saturday in Geneva. But it's still not clear whether the meeting will take place because there's no agreement yet on either the agenda or who will participate.
Turkey has warned that any Syrian forces approaching its border will be treated as a military target following the shooting down of a Turkish fighter plane by Syria last Friday. The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the rules of engagement for Turkish forces had changed. From Istanbul, here's Jonathan Head.
This was a vintage performance by the Turkish prime minister, arousing speech to his party in parliament which combines denunciation of Syria's actions on Friday with a broader defense of his government's foreign policy in the region. He repeated his government's arguments that the F-4 reconnaissance plane was unarmed, clearly identifiable, and outside Syrian airspace when it was shot down. Mr Erdogan went on to define the Assad government as a security threat, not just to its own people, but to Turkey as well.
The European Union is to consider proposals that would give it a much greater say in the economic affairs of countries using the European single currency. The plan was unveiled by the head of the European council, Herman Van Rompuy. Here's Andrew Walker.
Mr Van Rompuy's vision is of a much more integrated eurozone with increased, though not complete central control over government budgets. He stopped short of calling for a move to joint borrowing by issuing Euro bonds, but he does suggest it be considered. He also proposes an integrated approach to banks through deposit guarantees and arranges for dealing with failing banks – what has been called a banking union. The idea is politically challenging for many countries as the significant public concern about further European integration.Andrew Walker reporting.

Nigerian soldiers serving in the United Nations and African Union missions in Sudan have threatened trouble unless they're brought home within a week. The tour of duty of the troops who have been acting as peacekeepers in Darfur ended in May. The soldiers blamed the delay in their repatriation on negligence on the part of the Nigerian authorities.
The ordeals of a Chinese woman forced to have an abortion seven months into her pregnancy has taken a new turn with the disappearance of her husband. News of the abortion prompted a public outcry inside China and abroad. Now, relatives say that her husband has been forced into hiding.
A German district court has ruled that it is an offense to circumcise young boys for non-medical reasons. The court said that circumcision contravene the interest of the child to decide on his religious beliefs later in life. The decision has angered Muslim and Jewish groups, for whom circumcision is a religious obligation. Steve Evans reports from Berlin.
Every year, thousands of young Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany as part of the religious ritual of both faiths. But prosecutors in Cologne brought criminal charges against the doctor who performed the procedure on a 4-year-old. Initially, the doctor was cleared of causing grievous bodily harm, because he'd acted with the consent of the parents. But a higher court has now overturned that decision, because as the judgment put it, the fundamental right of the child of bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents.
The Mexican Navy says it's searching for one of its helicopters which disappeared four days ago over an area where drug cartels are active. The navy said air traffic controllers had lost contact with the helicopter with four crew on board as it was travelling in the west of Mexico.

叙利亚总统阿萨德说，反对自己统治的起义进行15个月后，本国已处于战争状态。叙利亚军队和叛军在首都大马士革郊区作战一天后，阿萨德发表此番讲话。早些时候，联合国安理会得知，叙利亚的冲突正在恶化。Jim Muir在黎巴嫩报道。

土耳其总理的这场表演很精彩，他在议会向本党发表讲话，在谴责叙利亚周五的行为之时，更多地为本政府在该 地区的外交政策辩护。他重申政府的看法，即F-4侦察机没有武装，可以清晰识别，被击落时在叙利亚领土之外。埃尔多安进一步将阿萨德政府界定为对安全的威 胁，不仅对叙利亚人民，而且对土耳其也是危害。

范龙佩的设想是将欧元区变得更加一体化，同时欧盟对政府预算具有更大集中控制权，不过不是完全控制。但他 未能呼吁采取行动通过发布欧洲债券来进行联合借贷，不过他表示会予以考虑。他还提出为经营不善的银行出台储蓄担保的一体化措施，这被称为银行同盟。由于公 众非常担忧欧洲的进一步一体化，所以这个设想对许多国家来说都是政治挑战。

德国一家地方法院判定，没有医学原因就给男孩切割包皮是犯罪。法庭称割包皮违反了男孩以后决定宗教信仰的权利，这个判决惹怒了穆斯林和犹太组织，它们认为割包皮是项宗教责任。史蒂夫·埃文斯在柏林报道。

德国每年都有数千穆斯林和犹太男孩被割包皮，这是两大宗教信仰仪式的一部分。但科隆检察官对一名为4岁男 孩割包皮的医生发起犯罪指控，医生最初被撇清造成痛苦身体伤害的责任，因为他是经过男孩父母同意而为的。但上级法院现在推翻了这场判决，因为就像判决所 言，男孩身体完整性的基本权利要大于男孩父母的基本权利。
