Turkey launched its ground and air offensive on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump cleared the way by pulling American forces back from the area.

On Saturday evening, Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and joined calls for him to end the fighting.A Downing Street spokesperson said:"[Mr Johnson] expressed the UK's grave concern about Turkey's military operation in northern Syria which he said could further worsen the humanitarian situation there and undermine the progress made against Daesh [IS].

That is like asking Tramp to stop twitting.
