a general view of a railway at the RasonConTrans coal port at Rajin harbour in the Rason Special Economic Zone. A mountain of North Korean coal -- which would once have been bound for China -- is piled up on one side of the barrier in Rajin harbour, stranded by a UN ban on coal exports by Pyongyang. On the very next dock, around two million tonnes of Russian coal have come in by train and been shipped on to China this year by Russian port operator RasonConTrans. Its activities are specifically excluded from the UN Security Council&apos;s sanctions resolutions but attempts have been made to use it as a way to bypass the restrictions. / AFP PHOTO / Ed JONES / To go with AFP story NKorea-Russia-China-transport-coal-diplomacy by Sebastien Berger (Photo credit should read ED JONES/AFP/Getty Images)</media:description></media:content></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aid Efforts in Besieged Syria Are ‘Getting Nowhere,’ UN Warns]]></title><link>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-01/aid-efforts-in-beseiged-syria-are-getting-nowhere-un-warns</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-01/aid-efforts-in-beseiged-syria-are-getting-nowhere-un-warns</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kambiz Foroohar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Feb 2018 18:53:09 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iGIhlE4FjWfE/v1/piHJkQ_WoLj1E/-1x-1.jpg" type="image/jpeg"><media:thumbnail url="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iGIhlE4FjWfE/v1/piHJkQ_WoLj1E/-1x-1.jpg"/><media:description>IDLIB, SYRIA - JANUARY 30: Members of civil defense carry out a search and rescue operation after an airstrike at a marketplace in the de-escalation zone of Eriha district of Idlib, Syria on January 30, 2018.
