[quote]The United Nations Security Council is considering Russia's call for a pause in Saudi-led air strikes in Yemen.
The council's president, Dina Kawar, who is also Jordan's UN ambassador, said members needed time to "reflect on the proposal".
The air strikes against Shia Houthi rebels continued for an 11th night on Saturday.
The Red Cross has called for a 24-hour ceasefire to bring in desperately needed medical supplies.

"Someone needs to protect my foreign oil reserves" - every "first world" country that fights in the middle east.
Gotta love it when the country that refuses to allow the UN into a country to stop the things happening there calls for the same thing to happen in another country.
I'm imagining reactions would've been a lot different if the US had said this.

Probably, but that's most likely because Russia aren't doing this for a warm fuzzy, if they were in it for humanitarian purposes they probably would have wanted the same thing for Syria but instead of that they've been using their powers on the UN security council to stop everyone from getting involved in Syria.
