Arab and Western states yesterday urged the UN Security Council to quickly call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step aside as his government's forces reasserted control of Damascus suburbs after beating back rebels at the gates of the capital.

Diplomats have been haggling for days to find a text Moscow will not block.
