Election Results 2014: Early Counting Puts Narendra Modi on Course for Resounding Win

New Delhi: Early counting of results in India's general election put the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on course for a resounding victory.

It was easy to hype up Alvarez before Saturday's clash. It was easy to even like the young Mexican's chances if he could just find some

US President Barack Obama says the US has concluded that the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attacks near Damascus.

He said the use of chemical weapons affected US national interests and that sending a "shot across the bows" could have a positive impact on Syria's war.

His comments follow a day of behind-the-scenes wrangling at the UN.

The UK had been pushing for permanent members of the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution which would have authorised measures to protect civilians in Syria.

But Syrian ally Russia refused to agree to the resolution and the meeting produced no end to the diplomatic stalemate which has long
