British MPs have voted to reject 
possible military action against the Assad regime in Syria to deter the use of 
chemical weapons.
A government motion was defeated 285 to 272, a majority of 13 votes.
Prime Minster David Cameron said it was clear Parliament does not want action 
and "the government will act accordingly".
It effectively rules out British involvement in any US-led strikes against 
the Assad regime.
And it comes as blow to the authority of David Cameron, who had already 
watered down a government motion proposing military action, in response to the 
opposition Labour Party's demands for more evidence of Assad's guilt.
Labour had seen its own amendment - calling for "compelling" evidence - 
rejected by MPs by 114 votes.
But - in an unexpected turn of events - MPs also rejected the government's 
motion in support of military action in Syria if it was supported by evidence 
from United Nations weapons inspectors, who are investigating claims President 
Bashar al-Assad's regime had used chemical weapons against civilians.
