UN envoy to Syria "concerned about reports of military escalation"
Syria's conflict isn't over despite the departure of former president Bashar al-Assad, the UN's envoy to the country warns, highlighting clashes between Turkish-backed and Kurdish groups in the north. "There have been significant hostilities in the last two weeks, before a ceasefire was brokered... A five-day ceasefire has now expired and I am seriously concerned about reports of military escalation," says Geir Pedersen. "Such an escalation could be catastrophic." SOUNDBITE
