The G8 did a good job of getting Russia on board with Libya but somehow, Syria didn't make the cut. Al Jazeera:
Opposition groups in Syria say the army has moved into towns and villages in the centre of the country, killing protesters.
Residents said on Sunday that troops have stormed the town of Talbiseh, where five people are said to have been killed.
Tanks have also pushed into Rastan, where it is claimed two people have been shot dead. Meanwhile, in Homs, Syria's third largest city, there are reports that one person was killed when troops opened fire on two bus-loads of students.
Talbiseh is 10km north of Homs, where tanks shelled a main neighbourhood earlier this month.
