Security Council vote on Syria ceasefire

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A vote by the UN Security Council - calling for a ceasefire in Syria - has been further delayed by lack of agreement. We hear from a French Senator and Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Also in the programme: the organisation that trains police in US schools; and a literary whodunnit - with more than one author wielding the pen.
