WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan is dealing with a mixture of boos and cheers at a Republican rally in his Wisconsin congressional district. Ryan began his comments today by saying "there is a bit of an elephant in the room," referring to the profane comments made by GOP nominee Donald Trump in 2005. Ryan says he put out a statement Friday about Trump's comments and in his words "that is not what we are here to talk about today."
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A Russian resolution calling for a separation of moderate and extremist forces in Syria but making no mention of a bombing halt in the besieged city of Aleppo has been defeated in the U.N. Security Council. The draft, put forward by Russia late Friday, failed to get the minimum nine "yes" votes required today. Britain's U.N. ambassador called the resolution "a sham" that would do nothing to protect civilians being killed in Aleppo.
