The UN has demanded women, children, the elderly and injured to be evacuated from Syrian combat zones following the suspension of its observer mission. Heavy fighting continues in towns across Syria with scores of people being killed in clashes between the opposition and government troops. On Sunday, activists say regime forces tried to root out rebels from urban areas by heavy shelling in the central city of Homs. They also say that, in the town of Douma, just outside the capital Damascus, rebels opened fire on a bus of soldiers killing eight. The US is now consulting its allies on what to do about the escalation of violence, but has acknowledged a Libya-style intervention to topple the Assad government would be difficult.

The Muslim Brotherhood has declared victory in Egypt's first free Presidential elections for their candidate Mohammed Mursi. After claiming 52 percent of the votes, a mass of Mursi supporters gathered in Tahir Square to celebrate the landmark victory. Ahmed Shariq, who was battling Mursi in the run-off Presidential elections, rejected the victory claims stating that the Brotherhood was hijacking the election. Shafiq was tied to former President Honsi Mubarak's regime, and the Muslim Brotherhood's win would end six decades of rule by Presidents belonging to the military. The results will not be announced until Thursday 21st June, and regardless of the outcome Egypt's real powers are now held by its army. The generals who have run the country since Mubarak was overthrown have stated only limited powers will be granted to the new head of state, and that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will now be responsible for law-making decisions.

www.simondixon.org Simon Dixon comments on what the key issues are to be debated as Greece holds its new elections. Greek politicians have failed to form a government and will now head towards holding a new election. Polls show the vote could favour the country's leftists who want to renege on the terms of bailout agreed on by the government earlier in the year. This will see the country push closer towards an exit from the eurozone, a situation which IMF chief Christine Lagarde says could get "quite messy".
