There have been reports of heavy fightings around the Syrian capital Damascus. According to activists, government forces used tanks and artillery in clashes with rebel fighters from the Free Syrian Army. Jim Muir reports from neighboring Lebanon.
The clashes between government forces and rebels from the Free Syrian Army seemed to be creeping ever close to the heart of Damascus and the center of regime's power. According the activists, the latest violence erupted around the southern edge of the city, the areas of like Tadhamon and Midan and around Palestinian refugee camps nearby. Tanks and mortars were reported to be used by government forces and in some areas residents were set to be fleeing.
Meanwhile the International Red Cross says it believes the conflict in Syria can now effectively be classified as a civil war. This means that combatants can be held accountable for any abuses of the Geneva Convention.
The head the Egypt's military council has said the armed forces will not allow anyone to prevent them from fulfilling their role of Egypt's protector.

At least 30 people, many of them Hindu pilgrims, have been killed in a bus crash in southern Nepal. Jill McGivering reports.
Eyewitnesses say the bus was over crowded carrying as many as 100 people including some perched on the roof. Most were pilgrims from neighboring India, they were traveling to a temple in southwestern Nepal to take part in a religious festival there. The bus swerved off the road and plunged into a canal. It is not clear what caused the accident but the overcrowding and heavy monsoon rain may have played the part. Emergency workers reduced the water level in the canal while they searched for survivors. But so far only ten people have been brought out of life.
Japan's ambassador to Beijing has returned home for consultations on growing tensions over disputed Islands in the East China Sea. Last week, Chinese vessels entered what Japan considers as its territory of waters around the Islands. Here is Charles Scanlon.
The uninhabited Islands have long been a source of contention between Asia's two largest economies. Both sides covered the rich natural resources under the surrounding waters, and now nationalists in both countries seem to be pushing for outright confrontation. The Islands have been administered by Japan in the modern era. But the status quo has been upset by a bid by the Tokyo metropolitan government and nationalist governor Shintaro Ishihara to purchase them from their private owners. Japan's ambassador to Beijing who has now been recalled for consultations said that plan would spark an extremely grave crisis between Japan and China.
