CAMERON CALLS FOR ASSAD TO GO IN CONFERENCE SPEECH

UK Prime Minister David Cameron says Syrian President Bashar al Assad must go if the civil war in his country and the refugee crisis are to be solved.

Mr Cameron used a speech to the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester to insist an open door policy for refugees in Europe is not the answer to the issue.

He also promised to secure reform of the UK's relationship with the EU ahead of a referendum on membership of it.

It's his first Party Conference speech since the Conservatives won May's general election.

And Mr Cameron also attacked new opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn over a description he once gave of the death of Osama Bin Laden as a 'tragedy'.

General John Campbell also told the Senate Armed Services Committee (Tuesday) that the recent airstrike on a hospital in the northern city of Kunduz was a mistake.

Under current plans the US will cut troop levels from about 9,800 soldiers to about 1,000 embassy-based soldiers but the general said that the "tenuous security situation" might require President Obama to re-think this reduction.
