Tunisia's interim cabinet holds first meeting

Tunisia's new interim government has held its first cabinet meeting, nearly a week after the fall of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

The meeting had been postponed amid opposition calls not to give key posts to members of Mr Ben Ali's RCD party.

Earlier, the RCD dissolved its central committee after its members on the interim cabinet quit the party.
