The Egyptian people have voted in the first of two days in a referendum on a new constitution for the country.
The new constitution would overrule the charter put in place by the deposed President Mohammed Morsi.
His Muslim Brotherhood has called for a boycott of the vote and supporters of the group have been involved in clashes with security forces, leaving at least 9 people dead.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
