BBC news with John Jason
The UN general assembly has overwhelmingly adopted a resolution criticizing the Security Council for failing to make the Syrian government hold its fires. The non-binding resolution also condemned Syria's increasing use of heavy weapons and urged a political transition. Only 12 nations voted against but they included Russia and China. Speaking after the vote, the Russian ambassador at UN, Vitaly Churkin, said the resolution was harmful and amounted to a serve support for the opposition.
The Russian delegation regrets the general assembly's adoption of the resolution which only exasperates these confrontational approaches to solving the Syrian crisis not helping in any way bring the parties to apply for a dialogue and looking for peaceful ways to resolve the crisis in the interests of the entire Syrian people. Behind of facade of the humanitarian rhetoric, the resolution hides a blatant support to the armed opposition which they are actively supporting, financing, giving the machinery than arming them. And this is being done by well known countries.
In Syria itself, reports from Damascus say government forces are conducting a new offensive against rebels. Eyewitnesses and activists in the Tadamon district of the capital say Syrian troops are using dozens of tanks and armored vehicles in the attack. The key battle for control of Syria's second city of Aleppo is also continuing.
The Pakistani Supreme Court has struck down a recently passed law which exempted top government officials from contempt of court charges. The five-member-bench said granting immunity to public office holders was against the constitution. Here is Orla Guerin.
This new law was coupled together by the government very rapidly in July. It would have extended protection against contempt of court proceedings as to senior officials. But frankly, the law was tailor made to do one thing. And that was to protect the new Prime Minister against suffering the fate of his predecessor, the previous Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was convicted of contempt of court by the Supreme Court in April, he had to be replaced. And now, his replacement could possibly suffer the same fate.
Official figures released in the United States show that more jobs were created in July than the any previous five months. The American economy added more than 160,000 jobs significantly more than the economists' were predicting. But despite the growth in new jobs, the overall unemployment rate rose slightly last month.
The American swimmer Michael Phelps has continued his record-breaking Olympic medal tally winning gold in the 100m butterfly. He has now won 21 medals in his Olympic career. At the Velodrome, British cyclists have lit the home crowd when the men's pursuit team and Victoria Pendleton both took gold. South Korea won its first gold medal at the fancying team event and saw its dominance in Olympic archery. Poland caused an upset to win the men's 85kg weightlifting gold.
