Turkey ready for anti-ISIL role, hints at ground forces - Euronews

29/9/2014

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country needs to take a frontline role in the fightback against ISIL militants in Syria.

"We will hold talks with our institutions this week and th…

Oil Prices Threaten Russian Economy: Falling prices raise fears of recession

28/9/2014

Russia's economy could be in for further trouble. Economists are predicting that the low price of oil could lead Russia into recession as Western sanctions bite. The declining price of oil has made it more difficult for Russia to withstand sanctions from Western countries. The Russian ruble has plummeted in recent weeks to its lowest point ever against the dollar.

The suburb of St Louis has seen weeks of occasionally violent protests since the death of black teenager… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2014/09/28/us...
