A BBC correspondent has seen evidence of human remains at the village of Qubair in Syria, scene of a massacre reported on Wednesday.

After a visit to Moscow, Treasury official David Cohen told BBC News there was evidence that financial sanctions against Syria were having an impact but Washington was worried that Russia's close economic ties with Syria were undermining the programme.

With Syria being one of the top buyers of military equipment from Russia, Putin sure will do everything he can to make sure that Assad keeps on buying everything he needs.
