Syria has continued its crackdown on protesters, with a series of arrests in the capital Damascus.

Electricity was cut off overnight in the capital, and homes raided in a mainly Kurdish area.

State television has been airing images of troops withdrawing from the city of Latakia, however activists dispute such claims.

Ahmed Davutoglu, Turkish foreign minister, says that the Syrian army is still in key towns.
