| Syria's Idlib under 'violent' air strikes after Tehran failure Posted: 08 Sep 2018 01:01 PM PDT  Al Munţār (Syria) (AFP) - Syria's last major rebel bastion Idlib was Saturday targeted by the "most violent" Russian air strikes in a month, a monitor said, after the failure of a three-way summit on the Syrian conflict. The renewed strikes came a day after the leaders of rebel backer Turkey and regime allies Russia and Iran failed at the summit in Tehran to agree on how to stave off a threatened offensive on the northwestern province of Idlib. Aid organisations have warned that any military campaign to retake the region of nearly three million people on the Turkish border could spark one of the worst humanitarian disasters in Syria's seven-year war.

You don't just sit there and say 'I think you should resign'," said Bannon during a visit to Rome.

"The United Nations is now facing a choice where it should prove that it refuses the violation of the international and humanitarian law .... not allowing the Omani plane to take the delegation and the wounded is a flagrant violation," a Houthi leader, Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, said late on Friday on Twitter. Houthi said his group also wanted guarantees that their plane supplied by Oman would not have to stop in Djibouti for inspection in both directions, after being "sequestrated" there by the Saudi-led military coalition last time for months.
