The international peace envoy Kofi Annan says world powers have agreed on a plan calling for a transitional government for Syria. Speaking after the summit in Geneva, he outlined what needed to be taken place.
"The key steps in any transition include the establishment of its transitional governing body which can establish a neutral environment in which the transition can take place. That means the transitional governing body would exercise full executive powers. The transitional governing body could include members of the present government and the opposition, and other groups should be formed on the basis of mutual consent."
The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after the summit that the aim of agreement was a government without President Assad.
"Assad will still have to go. He will never pass the mutual consent test. The text also makes clear that the power to govern is vested fully in the transitional governing body, which strips him and his regime of all authority if he and they refuse to step down and leave."
However, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected the US interpretation of the agreement, saying there were no conditions set out on who could be in the transitional government.
"We're going to build the work for a transition and take it to a new stage, but that work will be done by the Syrians themselves. That is very clearly stated in the document it's a Syrian-led transition. We have achieved a situation where there are no prior preconditions to the transitional process and the national dialogue, and that there is no attempt to exclude any kind of group from this process."
In Syria itself, activists say the army has regained control of Douma near the capital Damascus after a siege and shelling lasting several days. They say dozens of people have died and hundreds more have been injured with bodies lying in the streets. The activists say many people have been forced to flee the town and others are trapped inside with food, electricity and water supplies running out . The Syrian state news agency said the army was continuing to pursue what it described as terrorists in Douma with dozens dead after raids on their hideouts .
Egypt's first democratically elected President Mohamed Morsi has been sworn in with a call for the swift reinstatement of the country's parliament, which was recently dissolved. In a ceremony at a military area outside Cairo, the head of the governing military authorities, Field Marshal Mohamed Tantawi, officially handed power to President Morsi. Earlier in a speech at Cairo University, Mr Morsi from the Muslim Brotherhood said he'd protect the army as an institution, but he warned that its job was to defend the country, not to run it. Mr Morsi promised a shining new page in his country's history.

Pakistan's new Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf says the country's President Asif Ali Zardari is immune from prosecution for as long as he's in office. Mr Ashraf was speaking on the issue for the first time since becoming prime minister. Three days ago the Supreme Court gave Mr Ashraf two weeks to clarify whether he intended to pursue corruption charges against President Zardari.
A tougher policy on Afghan migrants is coming into force in part of Pakistan, which means up to a million Afghans could face deportation . Officials in Pakistan's northwestern province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which borders Afghanistan, say they will no longer tolerate Afghan migrants who are not officially registered as refugees. Here's Jill McGivering.
The whole issue of Pakistan's Afghan migrants is highly sensitive. During decades of instability Pakistan, like Iran, opened its borders to millions of Afghans, accepting them as refugees. Since 2002 they have started to go back on a voluntary basis. Almost four million have returned, but 1.7 million with a refugee status remain, and there's frustration in Pakistan that the rate of return has fallen.

Mr Shamir's political career began in the 70s in the ranks of the right-wing Likud party, where he gained a reputation as a hardliner who opposed many peace initiatives.

國際和平使者科菲·安南說，世界大國已一致同意要求敘利亞成立臨時政府。安南在日內瓦峰會會后表示，他將需要做的事重點列出了。
"The key steps in any transition include the establishment of its transitional governing body which can establish a neutral environment in which the transition can take place. That means the transitional governing body would exercise full executive powers. The transitional governing body could include members of the present government and the opposition, and other groups should be formed on the basis of mutual consent."
“過渡的關鍵步驟包括，成立過渡執(zhí)政機構，該機構應能夠建立一個中性的環(huán)境，使過渡得以進行。這意味著過渡執(zhí)政機構要行使全面的行政大權。過渡機構應包括現(xiàn)任政府和反對派成員，其他組織應在雙方同意的前提下加入進來。”
The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after the summit that the aim of agreement was a government without President Assad.
美國國務卿希拉里·克林頓在峰會后表示，協(xié)議的目標是成立沒有總統(tǒng)阿薩德的政府。
"Assad will still have to go. He will never pass the mutual consent test. The text also makes clear that the power to govern is vested fully in the transitional governing body, which strips him and his regime of all authority if he and they refuse to step down and leave."
“阿薩德必須離開，他永遠不會通過雙方同意測試的。協(xié)議還明確提出，行政權力由過渡執(zhí)政機構全面行使，如果阿薩德和他的政權拒絕下臺離開，該執(zhí)政機構就可以將阿薩德及其政權趕走。”
However, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected the US interpretation of the agreement, saying there were no conditions set out on who could be in the transitional government.
然而，俄羅斯外長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫棄絕了美國對該協(xié)議的解釋，稱協(xié)議沒有說明誰可以進入過渡政府。
"We're going to build the work for a transition and take it to a new stage, but that work will be done by the Syrians themselves. That is very clearly stated in the document it's a Syrian-led transition. We have achieved a situation where there are no prior preconditions to the transitional process and the national dialogue, and that there is no attempt to exclude any kind of group from this process."
“我們將努力建立過渡政府，進入新的階段，但這項工作需要敘利亞人自己來完成。協(xié)議中明確表示這是由敘利亞人領導的過渡政府。我們現(xiàn)在所處的局面不存在針對過渡進程和全國對話的先決條件，沒有人企圖不許任何組織加入這一進程中。”

巴基斯坦的阿富汗移民問題非常敏感。與伊朗類似，巴基斯坦在動蕩的幾十年間向數(shù)百人阿富汗人打開了邊境線，接受這些難民。2002年以來，這些難民開始自發(fā)回國。將近4百萬人回國了，但仍有1.7百萬難民留在巴基斯坦，令巴基斯坦感到郁悶的是，回國的難民比率在下降。
