Stars continues along the plaza, with Robert De Niro hitting the red carpet. We begin in vienna, where world powers are meeting to stabilize a shaky syrian ceasefire, while reestablishing peace talks. These are the differences between world leaders. Thats cross to our correspondent Anthony Mills in vienna. What is expected to come out of today . The different parties involved in these talks are hoping that they are going to be ceasefireive apache that has been a apache ceasefire that has been shattered and use those patchy ceasefires that will in some ways diminish the violence in syria, and hoping they will use those ceasefires to draw the opposing parties, the assad regime on the one side, and the militants who oppose him on the other toward some kind of dialogue, something that can manage this peace process, if that is one could call it, forward in the direction of the ofe durable absence violence. That is something proving because of the entrenched positions on both sides. On one hand, you have the regime of the syrian president digging his heels and with the backing neighboring lebanon fighting in syria to prop up the president. On the other side, you have an countries, notably saudi arabia, the United States and others, who say the president assad has to go. With support on the one hand that the answer russia and iran and opposition on the other, there is no indication of any concrete way forward that may move syria out of this orbit of violence. Annette what exactly is at stake . Anthony syria is seen as a source of an enormous refugee the that has really tested political unity of the European Union. Just last summer, we saw the flow of refugees, not all of them from syria, but many of them from syria, flowing from turkey through greece and the northward into other European Union countries. That is something that is really testing European Union unity and has prompted the European Union, in particular germany, of course, under counselor angela , akel, to strike a deal political deal with turkey, in which they would slow the flow of refugees. There is concern that in the absence of lasting peace in syria, the flow of refugees othersimply shift via routes, for example, africa, a topic discussed yesterday, also in bn the, so refugee concerns. On the other hand, as long as violence continues in syria, they will be continued presence of Islamic State militants there, who continue to pose a threat to europe, the European Union, other countries, a security threat, so there is really a sense that those two challengers, the refugees on the one hand, the threat posed by Islamic State militants on the other, are not going to go away unless the violence in syria is a ministry that will only happen when these entrenched parties on both sides of the equation come to some kind of an agreement on a formula that can build on one hand on the revival of the patchy ceasefires, the resumption of humanitarian aid delivery to those communities on the siege across syria and translate that into durable dialogue going forward, which may they hope paved the way for a political transition that revives each place in syria.

What happened yesterday is all five members of the Un Security Council and the other countries attending the meeting decided to amend the current you and embargoon libya u. N. On libya, essentially training their forces and supplying weapons. The article wonders if it is a good idea because libya is already overflowing with weapons.
