Brahimi unsure whether Syria ceasefire would hold
 - The 15-nation council issued a statement backing the ceasefire after Brahimi outlined how the conflict is worsening but added that President Bashar al-Assad had accepted his proposal
- The council reaffirmed demands for the government to allow "full and unimpeded humanitarian access" to cities where activists say more than 35,000 people have been killed in the past 19 months
- In a video presentation from Cairo, Brahimi told a closed-door meeting of the council that Assad has accepted his proposal but that he was waiting for the government's formal statement which is expected on Thursday
