CAMERON UNDER PRESSURE OVER SYRIA DRONE STRIKE

Britain's opposition Labour Party says the UK government should publish the legal basis for a drone strike in Syria which killed two British militants from the Islamic State.

Prime Minister David Cameron revealed on Monday that the first ever targeted UK drone attack on a Briton had killed the pair.

Mr Cameron says it was an 'act of self defence' as they had been preparing attacks on British soil.

UK MPs have previously voted against taking military action inside Syria.

Keith Vaz MP is chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee and says the drone strike does serve one key purpose.

A Greek official said Monday the request is a reaction to reports of a Russian military build up in the region.

CAMERON TO SET OUT REFUGEE PLANS

British Prime Minister David Cameron is setting out more detail to his plans to take in thousands of extra Syrian refugees.

The asylum seekers, however, will come from UN camps around Syria's borders - not from those people who have already arrived in Europe looking for refuge.

Mr Cameron's government also wants to extend British air strikes against the Islamic State into Syria - currently the UK is only engaged in military operation inside Iraq.
