美國國務卿約翰·克裡說，他有有力證據表明，在上月大馬士革附近的疑似化學襲擊中使用了神經性毒劑沙林。週六，總統奧巴馬堅決請求國會就對敘利亞動武進行表決。大衛德·威利斯在華盛頓報導。
克裡在美國電視臺發表講話，他說根據最先進入大馬士革郊區最近傳聞發生化學襲擊最多的人獲得的頭髮和血液樣本，奧巴馬政府已在過去24小時內確定敘利亞使用過沙林毒氣。他說這強調了這麼一個事實，即國會需要投票支援對敘利亞動武，他相信國會會這麼做的。但他說如果國會否決此舉，總統奧巴馬是有權力獨自行動的。
阿盟敦促聯合國和國際社區對敘利亞採取遏制措施，在開羅召開的外長會議上，阿盟再次指責敘利亞政府上月實施化學襲擊。但約旦政府告訴BBC不會參與任何軍事行動，Lyse Doucet在阿曼報導。
約旦國王阿卜杜拉是華盛頓的最親密盟友之一，他的國家一直向敘利亞反對軍悄悄提供培訓和情報。但該國強調，即使在幕後商量過本國能做什麼，也不願意讓本國國土成為任何襲擊的發射台，該國不可能公開加入任何軍事行動，這是為了避免挑釁鄰國並給本國帶來動亂。
埃及國家電視臺宣佈被廢總統穆罕默德·莫爾西將因挑唆謀殺罪受審。該指控與去年12月總統府外反對莫爾西的抗議有關，當時有數人喪生。穆斯林兄弟會的另外14名成員也將因同樣指控出庭。

伊朗人民聖戰者組織稱，周日早些時候，容納100多名成員的阿什拉夫營地遭到伊拉克政府軍的襲擊。該組織稱有數十名成員被殺，大多數是近距離被槍殺的。他們指責伊拉克政府在伊朗的指示下實施該行動，伊拉克當局卻說傷亡在很大程度上是因為營地內部煤氣罐的神秘爆炸造成的。

威爾士球員格瑞斯·貝爾簽署了一份合約，成為全世界收入最高的球員。據悉西班牙俱樂部皇家馬德里隊為這位托特納姆熱刺邊鋒6年合約支付了超過1.32億美元的轉會費。RichardConway報導。
人們期待這次轉會已經數周了，然而據悉在如何安排這一創紀錄的費用上協商未定，因此協議受到延誤。托特納姆熱刺對這家西班牙豪門的態度很專橫，先是建了地面舞臺來推出任何一位球員，並快速出售背後印有球員名字的複製品襯衫，但都不起作用。此舉使得這位24歲球員身價大漲，但也給歐洲足球聯合會(UEFA)主席蜜雪兒·普拉蒂尼提出了問題，這樣高的轉會費對這項運動來說合適嗎？Richard Conway報導。

The American Secretary of State John Kerry says he'd firmed evidence has emerged that the nerve agent sarin was used in last month suspected chemical attack near Damascus. On Saturday, President Obama firmly asked Congress to vote on military action against Syria. David Willis reports from Washington.
Speaking on American television, Mr. Kerry said the Obama administration had learned to the use of sarin gas in Syria in the last 24 hours based on hair and blood samples provided by the first people to reach the scene of the most recent alleged chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of Damascus. He said it underlines the fact that Congress needed to vote in favour of a military strike on Syria and he was confident that it would do so. But he added that President Obama has the authority to act alone if Congress rejected such a move.
The Arab League has urged the United Nations and the international community to take deterrent measures against Syria. At a meeting of Foreign Ministers in Cairo, the Arab League again accused of Syrian government of being behind a chemical attack last month. But the Jordanian government has told the BBC it will not take part in any military action. Lyse Doucet is in Amman.
Jordan's King Abdullah is one of Washington's closest Arab allies, his country has been quietly providing some training and intelligence to Syrian opposition forces. But it has emphasized it will not allow its territory to be a launchpad for any strike even if there are discussions behind the scenes of what it can do in this crisis - like many other Arab stakes - it's unlikely to publicly join any military action to avoid provoking its neighbours and causing unrest at home.
State television in Egypt has announced the deposed Islamist President Mohammed Morsi will stand trial for incitement to murder. The charge related to the deaths of several people during protest against Mr. Morsi outside the Presidential Palace last December. Fourteen other members of the Muslim Brotherhood will also appear in court on the same charges.
Clashes and explosions at a camp for Iranian dissidents in Iraq have left a number of people dead but there are conflicting accounts of what happened. The exiled group, the People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran, has posted graphic photographs of what it says of the victims. Kasra Naji has this report.
The People's Mujahideen Organization says Camp Ashraf which houses more than 100 of its members was attacked by Iraqi government forces in the early hours of Sunday. The group says dozens of its members were killed, many of them shot in the head at a close range. They accused the Iraqi government of carrying out the operation at the behest of Iran. Iraqi authorities on the other hand say the casualties are mostly the result of mystery explosions of gas cylinders inside the camp.

The Senegalese President Macky Sall has named the new Prime Minister hours after sacking a man he appointed after coming to power last year. Aminata Toure, the former Justice Minister told state radio he'd accepted the invitation to form a new government. No reason has been given for the dismiss of Abdoul Mbaye, a former banker.
The Wales footballer Gareth Bale has signed a deal that sort of had made him the world's most expensive player. The Spanish club Real Madrid is reported to have paid a transfer fee over $132m for the Tottenham Hotspur winger on a six-year contract. Richard Conway reports.
The transfer has been expected for weeks. However it's believed the deal suffered delays due to the negotiations over how Real would structured the record payment. Tottenham's perception at the Spanish giants will been presumptuous in firstly building a ground stage to present any player and briefly selling replica shirts with his named on back didn't help either. The move captured a remarkable rise to the top for the 24-year-old, but he has prompted questions for Michel Platini, the head of the UEFA, the European football confederation, if such transfer fees are healthy for the game? Richard Conway is reporting.
The Venezuelan Financial Minister Nelson Merentes has acknowledged that the economic policies of the late-President Hugo Chavez and his successor have not been successful.
