Arab Spring

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the U.S. had Russia have agreed to support meditation talks in Syria with all sides participating in the hope of ending the 21-month civil war and forces hundreds of thousands of refugees into camps in Turkey and Jordan.

However, as part of the mediation, Clinton said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must leave and give up power as part of any deal. The agreement comes as there are new reports that Syrian military forces have begun moving chemical weapons and equipping rockets with the dangerous munitions.

Cairo, Egypt -

Egyptians took to the streets following President Morsi's decree that his rules and orders can not be legally challenged with some calling him the self appointed Pharaoh.

Supporters of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood and opponents threw rocks at each other in Cairo and in other cities around Egypt.

"Morsi a 'temporary' dictator," was the headline in the independent daily Al-Masry Al-Youm.

The president's decree aimed to end the logjam and push Egypt, the Arab world's most populous nation, more quickly on its democratic path, the presidential spokesman said.

Syrian rebels have made a significant step forward in their efforts to topple the Syrian regime lead by Bashar al-Assad by capturing a military base about 15 miles west of Aleppo. The base was home to the 46th Regiment and contained thousands of rounds of munitions and explosions.

As the now 20 month old Syrian conflict continues to rage with no obvious end soon, the conflict has, at times, spilled over into Turkey and now Israel as both countries have seen motor shells fall into their territory.

Israel has fired artillery shells into Syria for two days in response to both days receiving fire from the Syrian side of the border in the Golan Heights. Both were declared direct hits.
