Kofi Annan to arrive in Damascus after 108 were killed.
Middle East
Forty-nine children and 34 women were among those 108 killed on Friday in the town of Houla in Syria. The BBC said that UN condemned Syria for its use of heavy weaponry in this town.
It’s believed that special envoy Kofi Annan will visit Damascus on Monday. However, Syria's ambassador to the UN rejected what he called a "tsunami of lies" from some Security Council members.
Meanwhile, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague is going to Russia, which views Syria as a vital ally in the region.
The BBC's Daniel Sandford, in Moscow, says Mr Hague will argue that this could be the last opportunity to secure a "political transition" in Syria and avoid all-out civil war.
Russia and China have blocked previous attempts to impose UN sanctions on Syria.
