No pause for debate as war rages in Syria

No pause for debate in Syria as rebel fighters take aim at government troops in Damascus.

The video which can not be independently verified by Reuters comes as Syria is the focus of international debate.

Washington and Syria's main backer Russia remain publicly at odds over U.S. plans for a possible military strike.

But both raised the prospect of easing the deadlock when President Vladimir Putin hosts world leaders at a G20 summit Thursday.

On Wednesday a key Senate panel voted in support of military action, as the issue makes it way through Congress.

Across the country the flames of war mark Syria.

More than two million people have fled the violence which has already claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people.
