Nato concerned about reported Russian military presence in Syria 

Reports of growing Russian military activity in Syria are a cause for concern, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says on Wednesday.

Stoltenberg joined other western leaders in calling for a political rather than military solution to the four-year-old multi-sided civil war, which has killed 250,000 people
