UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has pleaded for a divided Security Council to "pull back from the brink of a deeper catastrophe" over Syria. But as violence continues to tear apart the Middle Eastern country, diplomatic unity is nowhere to be found. Alistair Dawber, foreign editor at the Independent newspaper talks to RT. He believes that a number of negotiations, including some that involve the Arab League, are possibly taking place at the UN Security Council on how to resolve the Syrian crisis.

www.euronews.com Euro zone finance ministers have been meeting in Brussels with Greece's second bail-out on the agenda as well as the Spanish economy. The Greek Finance Minister was in a positive mood on arrival after last week's successful and crucial restructuring of private debt - the largest such move in history. "Im very optimistic for a universal participation in the PSI", said Evengelos Venizelos. "From the outside the target is now the full implementation of the program and of course the return of Greece to growth." Spain is now coming under close scrutiny after admitting last month that it won't meet the fiscal target of a plan that it signed up to. Despite that there has been an acknowledgement of Spain's efforts to tackle its deficit, and Greece, at least for now, remains the immediate worry. The Greek issue may now be moving into a more stable phase, but the continued recession and the prospect of elections in Athens in a few weeks time, will pose serious risks to the consolidation of the Greek rescue plan.

The women were picked up by police after they strayed from their permitted protest route. Although it is not clear where they are being held human rights spokesman Elizardo Sanchez said he did not expect them to be detained for long. "The prognosis is that they should be released today or maybe tomorrow because that's the way they do things here," said Sanchez. "In general, we're talking about short detentions and arbitrary detentions but we are not talking about women who are doing anything violent." Several other dissidents were also arrested ahead of a papal visit next week. Two years ago the Vatican brokered the release of 130 political prisoners.
