Syrian government forces have regained control of the Baba Amr district in Homs
- which has been the main centre of armed resistance for almost a month.
Washington says it'll keep up efforts to convince Russia and China to put
pressure on President Assad and impose tougher sanctions against the Syrian
regime. James Corbett - editor of the Japan-based independent news website the
Corbett Report, says it's not developments within Syria, but international
politics, that will shape the country's future.
