Here are all the latest developments amid political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa as protests threaten the grip of long-entrenched leaders.
Bahrain:
Organisers of the Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix have cancelled the season-opening race on March 13 following the continuing unrest in the country.
Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa has said the country must focus on immediate issues of national interest and leave the hosting of the event to a later date.
Predominantly Shia Muslim protesters continued to occupy the Pearl roundabout ahead of promised talks between opposition representatives and the Gulf nation's Sunni elite.
They were joined by about 1,500 striking teachers who pledged to keep schools closed until the government was toppled.
The heir to Bahrain's throne has been tasked by his father, King Hamad, with launching a wide-reaching dialogue with the opposition.
Bahrain's main trade union called off a strike it had organised for Monday, saying its demand for the right to demonstrate peacefully had been met.
But the opposition has reportedly called a large protest at the roundabout on Tuesday afternoon.
