Ban Ki-moon calls for 'one voice' on Syria

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said the international community needs to "speak with one voice, loud and clear" in its efforts to find a peaceful solution in Syria.

The Red Cross says it has been refused permission to deliver aid to the Baba Amr district of the bombed-out Syrian city of Homs, despite earlier getting the go-ahead from the authorities.

Russia and China have previously vetoed council resolutions that would have condemned Syria for the crackdown and demanded an end to it.
