UN To Send Team To Monitor Syria Ceasefire

The UN Security Council has voted in favour of sending a team of international monitors into Syria to observe the fragile ceasefire amid reports of fresh violence.
The vote, made on a Western-Arab draft resolution, comes two days after the truce began.
It calls on the Syrian regime to allow access for up to 30 unarmed military observers.
It is unclear how many additional monitors will be sent in the coming weeks, but diplomatic sources suggest as many as 500.
The Council has threatened to consider "further steps" if Syria does not comply.
Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly called on all sides in Syria to "strictly" obey UN envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan.
International pressure has grown for Syria to fulfil all its commitments to Mr Annan by withdrawing troops and heavy weapons, permitting humanitarian and media access, releasing prisoners and discussing a political transition.
US and European UN delegations had to revise the draft resolution late on Friday after Russia's UN ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, told reporters it needed cutting out "all the things which are not really necessary for this particular purpose".
In the re-written draft, wording had been changed and weakened slightly, in some cases from "demands" to "calls upon" or "requests".
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other activists in the city of Homs said shelling had wounded several people overnight.
Activists said four people were killed after forces opened fire at a funeral in Aleppo.
Rebel gunmen also apparently ambushed a car carrying soldiers in the southern province of Daraa.
Syrians took to the streets across the country in small demonstrations on Friday, trusting the truce would put an end to the bullets that have frightened off peaceful protesters for months.
But Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar al Assad shot dead five protesters after Friday prayers, activists reported, adding that security forces came out in strength in many cities to prevent protesters mounting major rallies.
The UN estimates that Assad forces have killed more than 9,000 people since the uprising began. Authorities blame the violence on foreign-backed militants who they say have killed more than 2,500 soldiers and police.
