BBC World Service - The World This Week, Russian cruise missiles in first combat action

Russia's Syria message to the US: "Anything you can do we can do better".

But Turkey's President Erdogan, weeks away from a crucial general election, feels betrayed by his former friend, Vladimir Putin.

Daring to eat beef in Hindu-majority India.
