Syria, UN look to rebuild Palmyra following recapture

The Syrian government has promised to rebuild the ancient city of Palmyra after recapturing it from the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or I-S, over the weekend. I-S fighters overran the city last May but have now pulled out after a deadly three-week battle with Russian-backed government forces.
