The UN special envoy for Syria Kofi Annan has told President Assad that Syria is at a tipping point following the killing of more than 100 civilians in the town of Houla. In talks in Damascus, Mr Annan said the Syrian army and all militias supporting it must stop all military operations, and he urged Mr Assad to take immediate bold steps to implement the six-point peace plan.

"In my meeting with President Assad, I conveyed in frank terms the great concern of the international community about the violence in Syria, including the recent shocking events in Houla. I should note that he condemned the killings too. The Security Council has made clear the need for these killings to be investigated and for those responsible to be held accountable."
