It's the most devastating round of fighting yet in a war that has caused havoc in the past nine years. Why is Idlib under attack and what are the likely ramifications?

Bombs are falling again in Syria and hundreds of thousands of refugees have once more streamed north towards the Turkish border.

Syrian soldiers are killing Turkish soldiers, and vice-versa, and tensions are rising between Turkey and Russia. More than 7 million people have fled from Syria during the war, causing a right-wing political backlash in Turkey and throughout Europe. Assad, largely thanks to Russian air power, has subdued the rebels in most of the country, partly by bombing several of his own largest cities into oblivion and deploying chemical weapons against his own citizens.

But Turkey has sealed the border and is letting none of them in. The Turkish people are still hosting 3.6 million refugees from the earlier waves of the Syrian conflict and are weary of accepting more – it has become a serious political headache for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is attempting to push existing refugees back into Syria.The UN's human rights office, the OHCHR, says: “It is shocking that civilians continue to bear the brunt of hostilities ...

If world super powers stopped playing Cold War style games and united behind global justice potential victims would have a chance. One innocent death is a tragedy yet again and again it happens.

Turkey is illegal there and is more or less protecting the scum terrorist that it US/UK/EU & gulf states created . Russia is there backing the ligit Gvt as it has been invited to bomb the scum terrorist .

A very good article from the MSM. Hopefully Erdogan realises he has overplayed his hand and finds a face saving way to withdraw allowing the much needed reunification of the country and subsequent stability.

'Humanitarian horror story': What is happening in Syria now?It's the most devastating round of fighting yet in a war that has caused havoc in the past nine years. Why is Idlib under attack and what are the likely ramifications? Whenever we remembe the horrors of the holocaust, we ought to think of the people of Syria. Their plight is as valid an indictment of human indifference as those Nazi camps were. Most confusing? Most tragic... longest running... largest humanitarian crisis... most deadly.. What’s so confusing? (Apart from why the world so consistently doesn’t care about dead Syrians) Thank you for covering this story.

Hijacking 'most probable scenario' for doomed MH370 flight | Sky News AustraliaSix years since the doomed MH370 disappeared with 227 people on board, there are still no firm answers about what happened. \n\nFormer Qantas pilot Mike Glynn, who is writing a book on the mystery, told Sky News he believed the aircraft was hijacked by one of the pilots. \n\n“I think once you work through all the possible scenarios, that’s the one that stands out as the most probable,” he said. \n\nMr Glynn said in order to find out what happened to the plane, a search needed to resume for the cockpit voice recorder and the digital flight data recorder - “both of which will tell a story”. \n\nHe said the digital flight data recorder “will tell us exactly what happened from the point of view of the systems of the aircraft”. \n\n“That’s the only way we’re really going to know what happened – by the recovery of those two devices,” he said. \n\nSky News investigates the mysterious disappearance of MH370 and reveals ground-breaking new details in a two-part documentary 'MH370: The Untold Story'. \n\nWatch or stream on Foxtel at 8pm AEDT on Wednesday and Thursday, February 19 and 20.
