Syria Conflict: 38 people reported killed in fresh strikes in Eastern Ghouta
[]
We begin in the Damascus suburbs of Eastern Ghouta, where bombing has continued in the rebel enclave for six days. A monitoring group in Britain says 38 people have been killed in fresh strikes, bringing the death toll to more than 400, including over 100 children. Rebels have continued to fire shells into Damascus, hitting a hospital. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is strugglling to agree on a resolution seeking a ceasefire and the vote in New York has been delayed for a second time until noon, Saturday. Negotiations have stumbled over when to start the 30-day truce and on a Russian demand for guarantees that rebels will stop firing at Damascus.
