BBC: Syria war: Troops mass around last rebel town in Eastern Ghouta
Syrian government forces have massed around the last rebel-held town in the Eastern Ghouta area, after rebels were reportedly given a deadline to leave.
A newspaper said troops were preparing for a "huge" operation in Douma, which is controlled by Jaysh al-Islam.
The government's ally Russia is said to have told the group late on Monday it had 48 hours to agree to be evacuated to Idlib province like other factions.
But Jaysh al-Islam has said its fighters want to disarm and stay.
The United Nations is concerned about the fate of the estimated 70,000 civilians trapped in Douma, where fighting has continued despite the talks with Russia.
