Ban begged for choppers in South Sudan conflict

UN leader Ban Ki-moon told Wednesday how he begged governments for helicopters but could still not get peacekeepers to a South Sudan town under siege because of growing equipment shortages.
Russia has in recent weeks withdrawn some helicopters and grounded those left with the UN mission in South Sudan, the world's newest country, which has been hit by growing ethnic tensions which have left hundreds dead.
