:02:48. > :02:51.150 air strikes and a mounting toll of civilians, including many women

:03:09. > :03:15.But this weekend the regime and Russia have instead plunged to new

:05:26. > :05:29.and Vladimir Putin's government, are the selfsame thing. Britain's
:05:30. > :05:33.ambassador said that the Russians were partnering with the Assad
:05:34. > :05:36.regime to carry out war crimes. He also said at a time when the
:05:37. > :05:40.Russians should be trying to salvage diplomacy they were trying to stymie
:05:41. > :05:44.it. The Americans and French made the same point. How could the

:05:48. > :05:58.last week and say he was committed to be ceasefire agreement at the
