BBC today.
Meanwhile both China and Russia have reinforced their opposition to foreign intervention in Syria, as Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury on Wednesday (today) warned Syria that more than 55 countries would seek to impose "maximum financial pressure" on President Bashar al-Assad's government in an effort to stop his regime's violence against Syrian people.

Addressing officials from Turkey, Japan and other countries, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he hoped that nations would soon join in taking appropriate actions against Assad's government including, if necessary, "Chapter 7" of the United Nations charter - a measure that could authorize the use of force.
