Amateur video out of Syria shows people crowding the streets of Homs.<br/> The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters, shows a funeral service for a man activists says was killed by Syrian security forces.<br/> More footage shows people chanting on the streets saying, "With blood, with soul we defend you Homs."<br/> Video purportedly out of Deraa shows another funeral. Mourners gather for protesters killed on Friday.<br/> Out of Damascus more protests. Activists maintain that Syrian forces are flooding rural areas around Damascus in a bid to end six months of demonstrations against President Basher al-Assad.<br/> Footage out of Homs shows a demonstration against Russia. A sign says 'Justice is on our side. We are protesting peacefully. The Russian government is killing us with its position.'<br/> Russia has rejected Western calls for wider sanctions on Syria over its violent crackdown which the UN says has killed 2,600 people<br/> Assad has reacted to the uprising, inspired by revolts which have toppled three North African leaders this year, with military assaults on protest centers and mass arrests.<br/> Syria has expelled most independent media since the unrest began, making it difficult to verify events on the ground.<br/> Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
