France wants emergency session V counsel about Aleppo

- France on Tuesday requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council on the situation in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. The Syrian government army was there Monday much of the rebel-controlled eastern part of the city-owned.

It is now more urgent than ever that there is an end to the hostilities and is granted unhindered humanitarian aid, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault. The eastern district is located by the shelling and bombing of the army and its allies largely in ruins.
