Sources claim 50000 new Syrian refugees head to Turkey amidst fresh clashes

A DAY of intensive Russian air strikes in Syria has left 57 people dead, including a rebel commander who was a defector from the regime, according to opposition activists.

Russia's air strike campaign in Syria has killed 370 people, one third of them civilians, since it started three weeks ago, a group monitoring the war said on Tuesday.

"As you know, we actually fundamentally disagree with just about everything Russian Federation is doing in Syria, but we are seeking an MOU to narrowly focus on the issue of air-space safety", Davis said.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory's director, Rami Abdul Rahman, said dozens of people were also wounded in Monday's raids, and that the death toll was likely to rise because many were in a serious condition.

Opposition forces including moderate and Islamist fighters have positions in the Jabal al-Akrad region, which is in the far north of coastal Latakia.

In a speech to a law association, Erdogan also repeated his calls to train and equip more Syrian rebels against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and to set up a safe zone to protect displaced civilians - a plan which has long failed to find support from Western allies.

The Pentagon says Russian Federation had initially asked for "deconfliction" talks with the United States after Moscow launched its air war in Syria on September 30. "Around 35,000 people are reported to have been displaced from Hader and Zerbeh on the southwestern outskirts of Aleppo city, following government offensives over last few days", said OCHA spokeswoman Vanessa Huguenin.

Turkey wants a transitional government in Syria without Bashar al-Assad, Turkey's Justice and Development (AK) Party Deputy Chairman Omer Celik told reporters in Ankara on Thursday.

The two countries would not, however, share intelligence on their targets, he said.

The Observatory said Russian strikes had targeted Aleppo, Damascus, Homs and Idlib provinces. Since 2012, the city has been divided between government forces and rebels.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, Canada's new prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau said Canadian fighter jets would withdraw from fighting the Daesh group in Iraq and Syria.

At least 127 civilians have been killed in the strikes, including 36 children and 34 women, it said.
