UK Prime Minister Theresa May is facing questions in the British Parliament today about her decision to authorise air strikes against the Syrian government on Saturday.
Some MPs are up in arms over the fact that no vote on the military action was given to Parliament, with the opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn calling for laws to be changed to ensure future interventions require a debate and vote before going ahead.
The air strikes were part of a joint effort between the UK, US and France, targeting sites near Damascus and Homs in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma which is said to have taken place on April 7th.
Shadow Justice Secretary Richard Burgdon has voiced concerns over the Prime Minister's decision.
