'The UN Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution outlining a peace process in Syria.

The 15-member council reached rare agreement on the issue in a session in New York on Friday.

The resolution endorses talks between the Syrian government and opposition in early January, as well as a ceasefire.
The Syrian war, which is heading towards its fifth year, has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced millions more, the UN says.

Lots more work needed - and big questions like the fate of Assad are up in the air, but it has a possibility of a ceasefire by next month.


--- As someone noted on Twitter - this has been quite a week for John Kerry, with the Paris climate change deal on Saturday and this today. (Lots of work behind both) I hope that they can actually end the civil war and rebuild Syria.
