Turkey warns Syria: stay out of fight with Kurds

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Turkey warns Syria: stay out of fight with Kurds

Ankara warns Damascus against 'disaster' of helping Kurds battling Turkish forces.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

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.
