imageUNITED NATIONS: Turkey's prime minister used his UN General Assembly speech on Wednesday to press demands for a "safe zone" to be created in Syria to protect civilians fleeing barrel bombs and the Islamic State group.

Ahmet Davutoglu called for swift action to provide displaced Syrians with "safety in their homeland, a safe zone, free from aerial bombardment by the regime and ground assault by Daesh and other terrorist organizations."
