UN Security Council meets on suspected Syria chemical attack

The UN Security Council opens an emergency session to discuss an apparent chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed scores of people including children.

Britain, France and the United States have presented a draft resolution demanding a full investigation of the attack on a rebel-held town in Idlib province, but Russia said the text was “categorically unacceptable.”

“We are talking about war crimes here, war crimes on a large scale, war crimes with chemical weapons,” French Ambassador Francois Delattre tells reporters as he entered the council chamber.
