Ankara, Moscow ‘can’t afford poor relations’
Turkey’s Minister to the EU has said that Russia and Turkey can’t afford what he called ‘the luxury’ of maintaining poor relations. He made the comments after the Turkish military released an audio recording of warnings it said it gave to the pilots of a Russian jet, shortly before shooting it down on Tuesday. The Turkish Air Force radar station can be heard telling the Russian pair to fly south and stay away from Turkey’s border with Syria. Ankara says it warned the jet’s pilots 10 times before it shot the aircraft down. But Moscow has denied this version of events. NATO has confirmed the Russian plane violated Turkish airspace.
PM supports air strikes
Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK should be launching air strikes against Daesh in Syria. He says the terrorist group poses a threat to his country and that it shouldn’t be ‘subcontracting its security.’ He has called on the parliament to support military action.

Border with Libya to close
