UNITED NATIONS: China’s UN ambassador says France is seeking a UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants who control Gaza.
Zhang Jun, the current council president, confirmed that France’s UN Ambassador Nicolas De Riviere informed the council during the third round of closed consultations Tuesday on the conflict that a resolution was being prepared.
The United States has blocked the UN’s most powerful body, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security, from issuing a press statement calling for a halt to the violence, insisting that it would not help diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

LOS ANGELES: New action thriller “Wrath of Man” marks the first collaboration between Jason Statham and acclaimed writer-director Guy Ritchie since their film “Revolver” in 2005, and audiences can expect the same sort of high-octane action that made the pair a duo to be reckoned with.
