Syria: 'Civil war turns regional crisis'

INTERNATIONAL PAPERS, Mon. 06/05/13: International papers react to reports of Israeli air strikes on Syria.

French papers mark François Hollande’s first year in office with a less-than-glowing report card, highlighting the president’s plummeting popularity. Elsewhere, the fate of Syrians living in Aleppo is on the front page, two years after the city was engulfed by sectarian violence. And an arms cache uncovered... in a bin in Paris!

Obama must move on Guantanamo

In the wake of the collapse of a textile factory in Bangladesh, the pope condemns "slave labour" working conditions and called for more job stability.
