Syria Condemns Any UK Military 'Interference'

Syria has accused the UK of 'interference' following reports the Government is seeking to persuade Labour MPs to back airstrikes in Syria. The Syrian foreign ministry has sent two letters to United Nations chiefs objecting to "brazen standpoints" taken by British officials and accusing the UK of a "colonialist" agenda, according to state news agency SANA. It comes after Chancellor George Osborne acknowledged that a comprehensive plan is needed to tackle the refugee crisis "at source".
