(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s president on Saturday stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, using his first local television interview to urge the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. “The Syrian regime needs to understand that the continuation of bloodshed goes against all laws, desires, history and humanity,” Mohammed Morsi said in the hour-long interview, broadcast on state TV. The one-on-one interview addressed a range of issues facing the new president, who was sworn into office on June 30 in the country’s first free presidential elections. He assumed the post after a rocky transitional period governed by the country’s military, which took power after last year’s uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s uprising inspired others in the region, including in Syria. More in After the Arab Spring “Egypt is not on the sidelines of this problem.

It is hoped the violence peaked Friday, which is the main day for religious gatherings in the Muslim world, said CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer. However, in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, riot police used pepper spray in clashes against about 200 protesters outside the U.S. Consulate. Hundreds took part in an anti-Islam film protest in Sydney, surprising shoppers and catching police off guard. The protest quickly amassed into a group of 500 people carrying signs and chanting slogans. “We are defending our Prophet Mohammed, we are defending His honor,” said one unidentified protester. Several streets were closed as the protesters threw bottles and trash at police, who tried to contain the demonstration using police dogs and capsicum spray. Arab Winter?
