    France tells Russia no justification for Aleppo bombing

    (AFP) - France's foreign minister told Russia that there was no justification for the fierce assault on Syria's Aleppo, as Moscow
    said it was ready to "work on" a French-drafted UN resolution seeking to allow aid into the besieged city.

    "What is happening in Aleppo is without precedent - nothing can justify such a deluge of fire and of death," Jean-Marc Ayrault said after meeting
    Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.
