Syria's foreign minister has attacked the Arab League following its suspension of Damascus and says the organisation is being used as a "tool" to take the Syrian crisis to the UN Security Council.
Walid al-Moualem was speaking in Damascus shortly after the Arab League rejected the country's proposed amendments to a peace plan to end the country's turmoil, saying the changes put forward by Damascus alter the plan's "essence".
This is the first of two videos from his press conference on Sunday.
