■ Italy votes in general election as Europe watches and waits. Italians are going to the polls on Sunday to vote in a general election that threatens to reverberate around Europe. Markets are watching nervously to see whether a government emerges that is strong enough to end the country's recession and avoid aggravating the eurozone's debt crisis.
The marginal favourite, Pier Luigi Bersani, has suggested he wants to form an alliance even if his centre-left Democratic Party wins a majority - to strengthen the government and curry favour with financial markets.
Four-times prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi is not standing himself but his campaigning has boosted support for his People of Freedom party. It has also marked a revival in the fortunes of the man who stepped aside in 2011 as Italy faced financial meltdown.
The result is made even less certain by the presence of the maverick Beppe Grillo, whose colourful denunciation of the traditional parties has captured people's imaginations and produced the biggest final election rally on Friday.
Impressive to many in government but disappointing in the campaign, Mario Monti is leading a centrist coalition. It is thought he may have a future role in a government headed by Bersani. Published on Feb 24, 2013 by Euronews

► Inside Syria - The female factor. Women make up half of Syria's population, yet they are often invisible in the political and media discussions taking place since the conflict began two years ago. Now, mothers, wives and daughters are increasingly becoming weapons of war on the frontline of the battle between government forces and the opposition. So, what is the role of women in the Syrian conflict? To discuss this, Inside Syria with presenter Hazem Sika is joined by guests: Afra Jalabi, a member of the Syrian National Coalition; Aida Dalati, a Syrian-American activist and author; and Hanadi Assoud, a member of Hands Off Syria, a group of Syrians who support the government and defy any foreign intervention in the country.
