U-A-E ready to send troops into Syria
The United Arab Emirates has said it is ready to send ground troops to Syria as part of an international coalition to defeat so-called Islamic State extremists.
But the U-A-E's Foreign Secretary admits they will not deploy forces unless the US takes a lead role.
Severe fighting in northern Syria has forced tens of thousands to flee to the border with Turkey - and Yvette Cooper, who's the Chair of Labour's Refugee Taskforce, has said international aid is urgently required.
“We do need Turkey to open their borders to be able to help those refugees who are at the border now.
“But of course Turkey has already taken two and a half million refugees.”
