The UN Security Council has again rejected pleas that it call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon after the United States objected. Washington argued in closed-door talks that the focus for Middle East diplomacy for now should be on the weekend summit in St Petersburg of the Group of Eight industrialised nations. It was the sole member of the 15-nation UN body to oppose any council action at all at this time, they said.

'Destruction is still going on, people are still dying... and here we are impotent.'
