With last week’s non-farm payrolls data coming in strong for October, its more likely the US federal reserve will raise US interest rates come December.

Britain's top military officer says the UK is letting its allies down by not carrying out air strikes in Syria.

General Sir Nicholas Houghton says this strategy doesn't make sense while Islamic State militants have their de facto capital in Syria.

British MPs voted against military action in Syria in 2013.

But as Olly Barratt reports from London, top British officials are pushing for this to be reexamined.
