UN to try again on Aleppo aid convoy

After angry exchanges between the US and Russia, further talks are set for the UN in New York this week over the escalating crisis in Syria. Russia today rejected a call by US Secretary of State John Kerry for the grounding of aircraft over the territory. Meanwhile, there is to be another attempt to deliver aid to the city of Aleppo.
