Syria awaits President Assad announcement
Tens of thousands are demonstrating in cities across Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad, who has faced a wave of unrest in recent days.
The government is expected to resign and a new cabinet announced. President Assad is thought to be ready to lift emergency laws originally imposed 48 years ago after recent violence and unrest left dozens dead.
