A conference call with Putin on Syria

British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are set to discuss the ceasefire in Syria with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a conference call today. The truce, which was negotiated by the US and Russia, came into force at midnight last week. It is the first major cessation of hostilities in the five-year war in Syria that has claimed more than 270,000 lives. Today's call will be the first time the leaders have spoken since the ceasefire took effect.
