Kerry travels to Geneva
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Geneva Sunday for talks on the Syrian situation. The State Department said in a Saturday release that Kerry will discuss ongoing efforts to reaffirm a cessation of hostilities throughout Syria.

Aleppo was left out of the temporary U.S.-Russian brokered cease-fire, which appeared to hold in the regime stronghold coastal province of Latakia, Damascus and the nearby suburb of Eastern Ghouta, a rebel bastion, ahead of the truce deadline.
U.S. officials said Friday a renewed cessation of hostilities in the two regions was to take effect at midnight Damascus time.
