IN THE PAPERS INTERNATIONAL, 03/12/12: Unrest in Egypt is getting a lot of attention in the international press. According to The Guardian, two years after the revolution, Egypt has reached the exact point it should have tried to avoid. Meanwhile, papers react to last week's UN General Assembly vote to recognise Palestine as a "non-member observer state" and Israel's decision to build new settlements.

Marseille seals French championship victory

The old cliché “Greek tragedy” is trotted out on the front page of Libération although this time with three deaths during a protest in Athens yesterday, it’s perhaps justified.
