Agreement reached to allow civilians leave Aleppo

A new agreement has been reached which will allow rebel fighters and civilians to leave the Syrian city of Aleppo.

A previous truce collapsed yesterday – government forces are close to re-taking the entire city.

The UN says renewed air strikes on rebel districts of Aleppo “most likely constitute war crimes”.

Turkey's president Erdogan has managed to get Russia's support for a ceasefire – but not the Syrian government’s.
