Widespread opposition.

Another note - apparently 10,000 videos from Syria have been uploaded to YouTube since the protests began.

3. An update from the BBC: Arab League observer 'concern' at Syria snipers

Arab League observers have expressed concern about government snipers firing at Syrian protesters from rooftops, reports say. Violence in Syria has continued unabated despite the monitors' mission to assess the situation on the ground.

The BBC's Jon Donnison in Beirut says that with the Arab League mission now in its fifth day, many demonstrators are becoming frustrated at the league's inability to stop the violence.

Around 60 monitors from the Arab League are in Syria to verify the implementation of a peace plan, which demands an end to all violence, the withdrawal of troops from the streets and the release of political prisoners.

Meanwhile, Syrian opposition groups have signed a draft agreement which charts a democratic transition should President Bashar al-Assad fall.
