Ceasefire breaks between between Yemeni troops and followers of the country's most powerful tribal leader. Shelling by Syrian forces kills at least one person in Homs province
Good morning. Welcome to Middle East live.
• Heavy fighting has resumed in Sana'a after a brief ceasefire between Yemeni government troops and followers of the country's most powerful tribal leader ended.
Government forces attacked the heavily guarded home of Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, who heads the most powerful tribal confederation in Yemen and has joined the protest movement seeking to oust President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Al-Ahmar's armed followers fought back and reoccupied several government buildings they had seized in the first round of fighting between the sides last week. There was no immediate information on casualties.
• At least one person has died as the Syrian military used heavy machine-guns and artillery in the third day of a crackdown in Homs province, activists said.
The Local Coordination Committees in Syria, which helps organize and document the country's protests, said heavy gunfire could be heard in Rastan, which is a few miles (kilo north of the central city of Homs. They identified the latest person killed as Ibrahim Salmoun. His death raises to 16 the number of people killed since Sunday.
