Summary of the latest developments
• The UN security council has been discussing a Turkish call to create a safe haven inside Syria for people fleeing the conflict. However, the security council seems unlikely to agree.
Meanwhile, France has announced plans to support "liberated zones" inside Syria – though it is unclear how these might be protected.
• UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon has told Syria that fighting must stop, "with the primary responsibility resting on the government to halt its use of heavy weapons".
• Rebel fighters have been attacking security compounds and bases in and around Aleppo. Activists have told AP this is part of "a major operation".
• The father of American journalist Austin Tice, who went missing in Syria earlier this month, has said he believes his son is alive. The Committee to Protect Journalists says there is "a strong indication" that Tice is being held by the Syrian government.
• Syrian civilians' living conditions are worsening dramatically and it is becoming harder to obtain food and other basic needs, the International Committee of the Red Cross said today.
• Etihad, the UAE airline, has suspended flights from Abu Dhabi to Damascus because of "the deteriorating security position".
