Russia says Kofi Annan's peace efforts could be the last chance for Syria to avoid plunging into a long-lasting, bloody civil war. The joint UN-Arab special envoy and the Russian President have held talks in Moscow, to discuss ending the violence, and to get both sides in the conflict into talks. Hisham Jaber, from the Beirut-based Center for Middle East Studies, says divisions within the Syrian opposition are a major challenge for Kofi Annan's mission.

The US soldier accused of a massacre of Afghan civilians will be charged with 17 counts of murder and six of assault and attempted murder. Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is currently held in solitary confinement at a military detention center in the US and could face the death penalty if convicted. Earlier this week his attorney said there's a lack of evidence against his client and he has no memory of incident. Meanwhile the Taliban has already vowed to take revenge against American forces, saying it doesn't trust a US court to deliver justice. Jim Brann from Stop the War Coalition says Washington privately views Afghanistan's leaders dismissively - a policy it follows in dealings with other countries.
