Mr Fawzi said the reportsunderlinedthe need to get more observers into Syria as soon as possible. He also said the UN had evidence that Syrian forces had not withdrawn all their heavy weaponry from urban centres.

"The ceasefire is indeed extremely fragile, and we are calling upon the Syrian government to fully implement its commitments under the six-point plan, and this means withdrawal of all heavy armoury (and) from population centres and back to thebarracks. And they are claiming that this has happened. Satellite imagery, however, and credible reports show that this has not fully happened."

President Hu Jintao urged both countries to respect each other's sovereignty during a visit by the South Sudanese leader Salva Kiir to Beijing. James Copnall is in South Sudan.

Salva Kiir said his Sudanese neighbours had declared war on his country.

The United States says it's concerned about reports that Israel has legalised the status of three settler outposts in the West Bank and is seeking further clarification from the Israeli government. A State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said the Israeli move was unhelpful.

"We are obviously concerned by the reports that we've seen. We have raised this with the Israeli government, and we are seekingclarification. You know where we are on settlements. We don't think this is helpful to the process, and we don't accept the legitimacy of continued settlement activity."

The Palestinians condemned the decision, but Israeli officials have rejected accusations that they havein effectcreated the first new Jewish settlements for more than 20 years.

联合国赴叙利亚特使科菲·安南称，据悉那些曾与联合国观察员讲过话的叙利亚人正受到政府军的骚扰，甚至被杀害，对此他深表忧虑。有报道称，自从联合国使团访问过后，许多叙利亚人在胡姆斯市被处决，安南的发言人Ahmed Fawzi对此发表评论。他说，报道说明有必要向叙利亚尽快派遣更多观察员。他说，联合国有证据表明，叙利亚军队并未将所有重型武器从城市中心撤出。

"The ceasefire is indeed extremely fragile, and we are calling upon the Syrian government to fully implement its commitments under the six-point plan, and this means withdrawal of all heavy armoury (and) from population centres and back to the barracks. And they are claiming that this has happened. Satellite imagery, however, and credible reports show that this has not fully happened."
