John Kerry: ‘We will not stop trying for Syria peace deal’

US Secretary of State John Kerry has said efforts are being made “on a daily basis” to try and resolve the humanitarian “disaster” in Aleppo, Syria.

Mr Kerry said a peace deal in Syria is possible, provided Russia, Iran, and other interested countries are “willing to accept a reasonable approach” to the crisis.

Speaking in Ireland yesterday on a visit to accept the Tipperary International Peace Award, Mr Kerry also said he has not been officially requested by the FBI to hand over any emails following the latest controversy to hit the presidential election campaign of Hillary Clinton, his predecessor in his current office.
