Turkish allies call for restraint after troops launch offensive over the border in Syria.

There have been international calls for restraint after Turkey launched a ground offensive against a Kurdish enclave in northern Syria. A top Turkish Nato official told Newshour that instead of supporting an ally, the United States had backed the creation of a Syrian border force including YPG fighters, who posed a direct threat to Turkey

Also in the programme: The death toll in the Taliban attack on a Kabul hotel rises to 18; and a new president for Liberia.
