Turkey retaliates for the shelling of a border town, but intervention is clearly not on the cards. As Syria descends into what the Guardian's Martin Chulov describes as a "sectarian abyss", should Ankara - which now hosts nearly 100,000 refugees - draw NATO into the conflict?

  • Martin CHULOV, Middle East Correspondent for The Guardian (from Beirut),

Hugo Chavez Dies: Saviour or tyrant? (part 2)
