http://www.democracynow.org - The Syrian government is facing growing pressure to allow an international probe of an alleged chemical weapons attack on the outskirts of Damascus. The Syrian opposition says government forces fired poisonous gas into rebel-held neighborhoods of Ghouta, killing hundreds of people. Video posted on YouTube this week shows frantic scenes of overwhelmed hospitals, dead children and countless bodies. If confirmed, it would stand to be the most violent incident in Syria since the rebel uprising began two years ago and one of the worst toxic attacks in decades. The alleged attack occurred just days after U.N. inspectors arrived in the country to investigate previous attacks. We're joined from Syria by Razan Zaitouneh, a lawyer and human rights activist who works with the Human Rights Violation Documentation Center. We also speak with Patrick Cockburn, a longtime Middle East correspondent for the London Independent who recently returned from reporting in Syria. "We couldn't believe our eyes," Zaitouneh says of witnessing the attack's aftermath. "I haven't seen such death in my whole life."

Syrian government forces now in control of Homs' Khaldiyeh district

Destruction is everywhere here; this is the Khaldiyeh district in the central Syrian city of Homs. The Syrian army managed to retake this district after fierce fighting that went on for over a month. This neighborhood was the main stronghold for foreign-backed insurgents in Homs, and their main operation room in the city. These destroyed buildings hide a lot of secrets; more than seven-hundred hostages were said to have been kept by insurgents in Khaldiyeh but none of them was found yet. The advance in Khaldiyeh means that Syrian military units managed to split in half insurgent-controlled areas of Homs. This achievement by the Syrian army can be compared to their taking control of the strategic town of Qusyar at least in its effect on the morale of the fighters on both sides. This mosque is the last point of Khaldiyeh and the first step in a new phase of life in Homs. This is Khaled Mosque, which is the last point in Khaldiyeh and where the first phase of the military operation ended. The second phase will be in al-Warsheh neighborhood. http://www.presstv.ir/

Originally published on December 17, 2013 Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspx Reuters is reporting that barrel bombs were dropped by Syrian government aircraft on a crowded bazaar in the city of Aleppo on Sunday. Unconfirmed reports put the number of casualties at 30 to 50 and say most of the dead and wounded were women and children. Crude but effective, barrel bombs are generally oil drums or cylinders packed with various explosives, nails and/or shards of metal which are then dropped from a helicopter or aircraft. These bombs are highly inaccurate and are designed to cause widespread destruction. The attack on Sunday indicates an escalation of the Syrian government's attempts to re-take Aleppo, a city that was once the country's thriving commercial capital but is now divided into pro- and anti-government neighborhoods. Large sections of this ancient city have been reduced to rubble as Syria's civil war now drags on past the two and-a-half year mark. Reports say the barrel bombs dropped on Sunday caused such massive devastation that a bulldozer had to be called in to clear the streets before survivors could be located. Most of the people killed and/or wounded were women and children shopping on Sunday as well as individuals waiting at a packed bus station. Reuters received unconfirmed footage of the aftermath of the bombing that shows severe destruction in the affected neighborhood.

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry said that President Barrack Obama was considering a response and signalled that the country will act on Syria. The United States Secretary of State,John Kerry, said that "the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard it is inexcusable and despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable." Russia, an ally of Syria, has warned against the use of military action from Western nations. The country's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said that there is no proof the Damascus government is behind the alleged chemical attacks. Speaking in Moscow he said that the "consequences of external intervention not sanctioned by the international community will only risk worsening the situation in the country." Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has told Russian newspaper "Izvestia" that the accusations that his administration used chemical weapons was politically motivated.

Syrian government officials have criticised the first day of peace talks in Switzerland, after a series of bitter exchanges. The country's ambassador to the UN, Bashar Ja'afari, told a news conference that 10 extra countries had been invited to the talks - most of whom had "hostile policies towards the Syrian government", while Iran, which supports President Bashar al-Assad, had been excluded. Mr Ja'afari also criticised the format of the talks, saying they "did not encourage national political dialogue". He also called for an end to what he described as "terrorism and violence" from opposition groups.
