A new online video has called on Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, to stand up for peace and stop her husband’s brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrators.

The video was conceived and produced by Huberta von Voss-Wittig, the wife of the German ambassador to the United Nations, and Sheila Lyall Grant, the wife of the UK ambassador.

Both countries have taken a hard line against Assad and Syria at the UN, and now Voss-Wittig and Lyall Grant are coming down just as hard on Asma al-Assad, who has stood by her husband.

Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey reports from New York.

“Racist” cake and accountable politicians

We hear your reaction to whether a cake in Sweden is “racist” & ask should politicians be held personally responsible for actions they take on behalf of their government?
