======================================================
MORE than 500 Syrians fled to Lebanon yesterday as the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime ­entered its eighth week.

Gunfire was heard in the western town of Talkalakh, a day after security forces killed at least six people at protest rallies.

More than 5,000 Syrians have left the country as the violence has escalated, and human rights groups ­estimate that 775 people have been killed since protests started in mid-March.
