EXIT POLLS POINT TO CONSERVATIVE-LED COALITION

Exit polls released as voting ends in Britain's general election suggest the Conservative Party may have won a significant victory over the opposition Labour Party.

However, with 316 seats predicted for the Conservatives, that would still leave them short of a parliamentary majority.

The exit polling forecasts 239 seats for Labour, 10 for the Liberal Democrats and 58 for Scottish Nationalists the SNP.

In the run-up to the election, polling had shown Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives neck and neck with Ed Miliband's Labour.

The exit polls are run jointly by British broadcasters the BBC, SKY and ITN.

Pentagon says first group of anti-IS Syrian fighters has been trained

The Pentagon says it has started training the first group of Syrian fighters battling the Islamic State.

That's according to US defense chief Ashton Carter who says training a 'company size' group of Syrian fighters is part Washington's long-term strategy for fighting IS.

The Pentagon announced its plan to deploy some 1,000 troops to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to train the Syrian opposition back in January.

But identifying moderates in the Syrian opposition has proved difficult for the US administration.

Now Ashton Carter says the first group has been trained.
