Russia’s UN ambassador says his country is planning a new resolution calling for a 72-hour humanitarian truce. (Reuters)

That sounds like there really isn't any movement at the UN to a true resolution.

Just heard Fox say that US has overcome a major objection with France so it looks like there is movement toward ceasefire.

U.S., France Fail to Produce Agreement on UN Lebanon Resolution

Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. and France failed today to produce an agreement at the United Nations on ending the war between Israel and Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, Russia's UN ambassador said.

``Unfortunately, we at this point came to the conclusion we do not have an immediate prospect of this resolution being accepted,'' Russian envoy Vitaly Churkin told reporters today after the five permanent members of the UN Security Council met.
