Britain and the United States have withdrawn their diplomatic representation from Syria.

 

This follows the UN Security Council's failure to pass a resolution to back an Arab League call for president Bashar al-Assad to relinquish power.

 

The move comes amid reports of a dramatic escalation of violence in Homs - a city that's become a centre of armed opposition to president Bashar al-Assad.

 

Kristina Kukolja reports.
