With the ceasefire in Syria largely holding, the UN Security Council is discussing how to deploy observers to monitor further progress in the six-point international peace plan. Earlier, the international envoy Kofi Annan, who told the council that despite the encouraging reports, the government had not yet fulfilled all its commitments. Barbara Plett reports from the UN.
Security Council ambassadors said they all supported Kofi Annan's request for the rapid deployment of observers to Syria. The American envoy Susan Rice said Mr Annan told the council that Syria's government had not fully complied with the terms of his peace plan that it must withdraw its military forces from civilian areas. The Russian and Syrian ambassadors, on the other hand, spoke about the danger of provocations from the opposition. So motivations may differ, but all seem to agree on the need to try and consolidate the fragile ceasefire as quickly as possible.
In Syria itself, activists said 15 people had been killed during the day in ceasefire breaches while the government said a bomb attack had killed one soldier. Fergal Keane reports from the Turkish-Syrian border.
The news from across the border is confused, generally quiet but with reports of violations in some areas. The problem is that the political crisis which caused the violence remains unresolved, and the opposition will not accept any solution that keeps President Assad in power. After thousands of deaths, tens of thousands driven into exile, the bitterness and mistrust in the way of real peace is immense.
The UN Security Council has demanded an immediate and unconditional end to fighting between Sudan and South Sudan. It described the escalating conflict as a serious threat to international peace. The council asked both sides to pull ba ck their forces, and called for South Sudanese troops to withdraw from the Heglig oil field they seized on Tuesday, and for Sudan to end aerial bombardments. The council statement came hours after the presidents of the two countries accused each other of seeking a full-scale war.
The Egyptian parliament has voted for a law that would ban some senior officials who served under former President Mubarak from standing for president in the forthcoming elections. The law would disqualify the former Vice-President Omar Suleiman, who has just declared his candidacy. However, the measure is likely to be blocked by the ruling military council. From Cairo, Jon Leyne reports.
This law was adopted by the Egyptian parliament as a direct response to the decision by the former intelligence chief and Vice-President Omar Suleiman to run for president. In theory, it could prevent Mr Suleiman and several other officials who served under Hosni Mubarak from standing in next month's election. In practice, it's unlikely to be ratified by the ruling military council and most unlikely to come into force before the electoral commission certifies the list of candidates later this month.

Heavy fighting has broken out in the capital of Guinea-Bissau, where troops are reported to have taken control of the headquarters of the governing party and the national radio station. Troops are also reported to have occupied the streets where the outgoing Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior has his offices. Mr Gomes won the first round of the presidential election last month.
The American neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot dead an unarmed black teenager in Florida has appeared in court for the first time. George Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder over the death of Trayvon Martin in February and was remanded in custody. Steve Kingstone reports from Washington.
Wearing handcuffs and blue prison overalls, 28-year-old George Zimmerman looked calm during a televised court appearance that lasted just two minutes. The judge informed him of his right to remain silent and read out the charge of second-degree murder, meaning Mr Zimmerman intended to kill 17-year-old Trayvon Martin at the time of his death, but did not plan the killing in advance. The court was adjourned until 29 May.
The government in Spain is to set up a DNA database to help track down thousands of babies who were removed from their families by health and religious workers from the years of Franco's dictatorship right up to the 1990s. The decree of 1940 allowed children to be taken into custody if their moral education was at risk. It's alleged that under the law, hundreds of babies were seized and sold for cash by nuns, doctors, nurses and other health workers.
Police in Serbia have recovered a painting by the French 19th century artist Paul Cezanne and have arrested four men, all Serbs.

Two million dollars in cash and weapons were also seized in the recovery operation.

The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced an easing of sanctions against Burma. She praised recent developments there, but said the reform process still had a long way to go. Paul Adams reports from Washington.
Hillary Clinton had already said the US would respond positively to democratic progress in Burma. When the former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi won a seat in parliament over the weekend, it was inevitable Washington would act. Some travel and financial restrictions will now be eased, senior Burmese officials will be able to visit the United States and the US will open a development office in Burma. The EU is clearly weighing up a similar package of moves. Speaking in London, the British Foreign Secretary William Hague said some sanctions may be lifted. The elections, he said, appeared to have been a very important moment of change. But he and Hillary Clinton both said they wanted to see the release of other political prisoners.
The United Nations Security Council has expressed concern at the presence of al-Qaeda in northern Mali following the recent coup there. It says that it could further destabilise the security situation. The council condemned rebel groups in the north who've seized roughly half of the country since the coup, and called for the return of constitutional order. Barbara Plett reports from the UN.
The statement supports the efforts of regional groups who've imposed sanctions on Mali, but such moves were criticised by Mali's UN ambassador. Oumar Daou told the council the steps taken by the African Union and the regional grouping Ecowas added to already difficult conditions, such as drought, hunger, displacement and political conflict. The situation has been under close scrutiny by the council for several months because it's symptomatic of the wider instabilities in the Sahel region.
The Pentagon has formally directed Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other men accused of masterminding the 9/11 attacks to stand trial in a military tribunal , where they could be sentenced to death. The five are being held at the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay. Here's Jonathan Blake.
This announcement from the Pentagon marks the final major step towards those accused with planning and executing the 9/11 attacks being put on trial . The five men had already been charged with terrorism, hijacking aircraft, murder and other crimes. But the process was interrupted when President Obama announced the suspects should be tried in a civilian court. That plan proved so unpopular and impractical that opposition from Congress forced the administration to abandon it.
The Greek athletics federation says that it's suspended all domestic sporting activities due to a shortage of funding. The federation's governing board said that the body would re-evaluate its position if the government reconsidered the deep cuts in state funding for sport. An official told the BBC that unless the situation was resolved, the last result would be to withdraw from the London Olympics.

More than 130 countries have reached agreement on measures to tackle tobacco smuggling at a meeting of the World Health Organisation in Geneva. The plan includes a new licensing system and an international mechanism to monitor tobacco from the point of harvest to the shops. The WHO says fighting smuggling could help countries recover more than $40bn in lost tax revenue.
An explosion at the newly reopened national theatre in the Somali capital Mogadishu has left at least seven people dead and many others injured. Among the dead are the head of the country's football association and the president of the Somali Olympic committee. The Islamist group al-Shabab said it carried out the attack, but denied using a suicide bomber. A Somali government spokesman, Abdirahman Osman, said Somalis would not allow such attacks to completely disrupt their lives.
"This group, they are working for al-Qaeda in Somalia to try to avoid Somalis to stand their normal lives to go to theatres or concerts. But that's why we are determined even more and more by, for them targeting such innocent people. And we will develop our efforts, and it's a matter of time before we eliminate all those threats posed by them."
A new scientific study published in the journal Nature says there's compelling evidence that a rise in carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere caused the end of the last ice age. The study, funded by an American government agency, countered a favourite argument of climate change sceptics, who point out that records show that rising temperatures preceded a rise in CO2.
The United States says that it's concerned by a wave of arrests of Cuban opposition activists on the communist-run island. A spokesman for the State Department demanded the immediate release of dozens of activists.

The United States has reacted sceptically to Syria's acceptance of the peace plan put forward by the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan. The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Damascus would be judged by its actions, not its words.
"Given Assad's history of over-promising and under-delivering, that commitment must now be matched by immediate actions. We will judge Assad's sincerity and seriousness by what he does, not by what he says."
Mrs Clinton said Syria must immediately silence its guns, allow humanitarian aid in and start preparing for a democratic transition . Meanwhile, the United Nations has increased its estimate for the number of people killed in the past year of unrest in Syria to more than 9,000.
As Pope Benedict continues his visit to Cuba, a senior minister has dismissed any prospect of political reforms in the socialist country. Marino Murillo, who's in charge of economic affairs, said that government reforms were intended to update its economic model to make Cuban socialism sustainable.
French judges are reported to have requested an international arrest warrant for the son of the president of Equatorial Guinea over allegations that he's misappropriated his country's funds to support a lavish lifestyle in France. Christian Fraser is in Paris.
Teodoro Obiang is accustomed t o the good life. He's often photographed enjoying an extravagant lifestyle complete with million-dollar homes and luxurious yachts. The billboards in his home, capital of Malabo, show him at work and in touch with the people, but diplomats are familiar with a very different playboy lifestyle. French judges who've been handling this case since 2010 allege the properties he bought here in France were purchased with public money stolen from Equatorial Guinea. As part of the investigation, French police raided a building in a wealthy area of Paris. The building, valued at 150m, housed expensive paintings and fine wines. It was a hairdresser's and a nightclub which suggested it was not being used as a diplomatic residence.
There's been a second day of clashes in the oil-rich border region between Sudan and South Sudan. The Sudanese authorities accuse the South of carrying out attacks on their side of the border, but say they don't want to return to war. But as James Copnall reports from Khartoum, the South Sudanese military insist they are coming under attack.
South Sudan's military spokesman says his troops were attacked - first from the air, then on the ground - for the second straight day. Colonel Philip Aguer says the clashes are continuing between Teshwin and Heglig. This probably put South Sudan's soldiers inside what is internationally recognised as Sudanese territory though South Sudan claims it too. On Monday, South Sudan's President Salva Kiir said his troops had fought off an attack and pursued the Sudanese armed forces up to Heglig. Sudan's military spokesman denied there had been any air raids.

An American man has been given a new face, teeth, tongue and jaw(jaws口误) in what his surgeons say is the most extensive facial transplant ever performed. The man, Richard Lee Norris, has been a recluse since he was disfigured in a gun accident 15 years ago. Doctors say he's now recovering well after the 36-hour operation last week and is already able to brush his teeth and shave.
The Somali police say they've arrested a British passport holder. The man, Clive Dennis, is reported to have arrived at Mogadishu airport from Nairobi and told the police he wanted to travel to the southern port of Kismayo to help Islamists. The port is held by militants of al-Shabab.
An independent report into riots in several English cities last year has blamed poor parenting, rampant materialism and a lack of confidence in the police. The panel also highlights a lack of support and opportunities for young people. Our British affairs correspondent Rob Broomby reports.
Burning buildings, shops being looted by violent gangs and police on horseback trying to restore order - this was the scene last summer as riots swept through several English cities. Five people were killed; businesses were left devastated, and the public were left angry and wanting to know why. The Riots Communities and Victims Panel set up by the government has blamed a lack of opportunities for young people, poor parenting, a lack of shared values and the inability of the justice system to prevent re-offending as just some of the reasons for the riots. But it also stressed materialism and a concern about brand goods in poor neighbourhoods which fuelled the smash and grab frenzy .
Brazil says it's taking tougher action against websites which promote the country as a destination for sex tourism. The government says it's identified nearly 2,000 Internet sites which contain sex-oriented material, but also display official symbols, such as tourism logos. It said most of the offending images had been removed.
