Ecuador says the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has requested political asylum after taking refuge at its embassy in London. Mr Assange is facing extradition from Britain to Sweden, where he's been accused of sexually assaulting two women. He denies the allegations and has written to the left-wing president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, complaining of the prosecution. Leonardo Rocha has more.
Mr Assange grabbed the headlines in 2010 when Wikileaks published a vast number of secret diplomatic cables from the American State Department. He's facing extradition to Sweden after losing a long legal battle to stay in Britain. In a letter to President Rafael Correa, Mr Assange says he's being prosecuted for publishing the truth and damaging the interests of the powerful. He asked for the protection of the government of Ecuador and adds that he can't go back to his native country Australia, which, in his words, abandoned him.

The Muslim Brotherhood yesterday called for a 'million man march'. They wanted people to come out to declare their opposition to the army's continuing hold on power.

Britain says a Russian ship allegedly transporting attack helicopters to Syria has turned back while sailing off the Scottish coast. The vessel's London-based insurers withdrew cover after being told by British officials that they were in possible breach of European Union sanctions on weapon supplies to Syria. Colin Blane reports.
The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton complained about the ship last Tuesday when she claimed it was taking armaments to President Assad. Onboard, it was reported they were helicopters which belonged to Syria, but which have been repaired and maintained by Russia. The ship's progress was halted when its London-based insurers withdrew cover when it was off the Outer Hebrides, saying the nature of the voyage was in breach of their rules.
And the Supreme Court in Pakistan has disqualified the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani from holding office. He was convicted of contempt of court two months ago for refusing to reopen corruption cases against President Zardari.
