The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting to consider a resolution proposed by France and Spain that would among, other humanitarian goals, require an immediate cessation of aerial bombardment and military flights over the nearly decimated Syrian city of Aleppo. In a vote of 11 in favor, 2 opposed and 2 abstentions the resolutions was vetoed. (Photo by Albin Lohr-Jones/Pacific Press)
