The leader of the Lebanese Shia militant Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, says his members will continue to fight alongside government forces in Syria's civil war. In a televised address on Sunday, he called on "political forces in the Arab world" to "stop the war on Syria". He said if this happened, then "of course" his forces would also leave.
