Turkey warns Syria: stay out of fight with Kurds

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

As Turkey warns Syria not to side with Kurdish troops it's fighting on Syrian soil we try and unpick the increasingly complex - and internationalised conflict. Could student power modify America's gun laws? We hear from a student caught up in Wednesday's mass shooting, who thinks it can. Also: what the Ethiopian prime minister's resignation tells us about the parlous state of that country. The Swedes are literally getting their skates on to get to work, and we get to know "mini Merkel" - the woman who could be the next leader of the German Chancellor's party.
