( CNN ) Regime airstrikes conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle on a school complex in northwestern Syria killed at least 35 people , including 20 children , the Syria Civil Defense volunteer rescue group said , in what could be one of the deadliest strikes yet on a school in the nation 's five - year war , according to the UN . The death toll is expected to rise as dozens of others were injured in the Wednesday attacks , said Majd Khalaf , a communications officer with the rescue group , also known as the White Helmets . Another rescuer told the activist - run SMART News Agency that around 50 children were leaving the front door when the strikes hit .

The core of his approach is to keep saying the enemy is “ radical Islamic terrorism , ” something that he ( wrongly ) claims Clinton never does . “ To defeat Islamic terrorism , ” he said in Ohio , “ we must also speak out forcefully against a hateful ideology that provides the breeding ground for violence and terrorism to grow . ” But there ’s a good reason why both Presidents George W. Bush and Obama have been reluctant to speak of “ Islamic terrorism , ” and it ’s not because Obama is a closet Muslim , as Trump has insinuated in the past . It ’s because they realize that in the battle conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle against terrorism , the United States can not win unless it can get the support of most of the world ’s 1.5 billion Muslims . By seeming to insult Islam and Muslims as Trump does , he plays into Islamic State and al Qaeda propaganda , which posits that there is a battle between Islam and the West . But Trump does n’t care about winning Muslim hearts and minds .

The Arab - Russian Forum will convene at the ministerial level in Moscow next week , in the midst of the battle conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle for Syria amid growing Russian - Turkish tensions and increasing talk of Saudi and Gulf ground intervention in Syria . The Russian foreign minister will be very clear in drawing the strategic frameworks for Russian policies in the Middle East , and will insist on an agenda that Arab ministers are unlikely to find compatible with Arab priorities . Sergei Lavrov will not soften his rhetoric just because he will be playing host , because the broad features of Russia 's Middle Eastern policy , as drafted by President Putin , are not subject to negotiations from Moscow 's viewpoint .

03:09 Until then , the trust deficit between Clinton and the left of her party will grow , Kohn and other liberals predict . Activists point to Clinton 's voting record in the Senate , where she voted to authorize the Iraq war conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle and increase domestic surveillance . They say that and decisions her husband made while president , like the Defense of Marriage Act and the authorization of the North American Free Trade Agreement , give her little street cred among liberals and populists .

But together , the city functions as one , in harmony . ” The harmony did not last . There is a hint , in the demolition of some of the sculptures that adorn the temples and monuments , of periodic regime change in the ruling class of Teotihuacán ; and , in the depiction of shield- and spear - toting warriors , of clashes conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle with other local city - states . Perhaps , as several archaeologists suggested to me , civil war swept through Teotihuacán , culminating in a fire that seems to have damaged vast sections of the interior of the city around A.D. 550 . Perhaps the fire was caused by a visiting army .

There 's real reason to fear , from this debate , that he has thus far not taken even those few minutes . ” For instance , Sanders twice dodged the question of how long he would leave at least 10,000 troops in Afghanistan , shifting the conversation by saying , “ our great task is to make certain that our young men and women in the military do not get sucked into never - ending , perpetual warfare within the quagmire of Syria and Iraq . ” On ISIS , Sanders insisted that “ the combat conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle on the ground must be done by Muslim troops with our support . We must not get involved in perpetual warfare in the Middle East . ” But he had no real rejoinder for Clinton when she cited foreign policy and military analysts’ criticism of his views , such as inviting Iranian troops into Syria to try to resolve the conflict there while at the same time enlisting the aid of Saudi Arabia .

Karam al - Masri / AFP / Getty Images The Syria cease - fire always seemed like it was destined for failure . And on Sunday the truce seemed to start to fall apart amid an airstrike conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle on rebel - held neighborhoods of Aleppo . Rebels said a total of four airstrikes hit Aleppo on Sunday , marking the first raids in the city since the cease - fire officially began on Monday . The strike came shortly after Russia warned that the future of the truce was in doubt after the U.S .- led coalition killed more than 60 Syrian soldiers .

China ’s UN Ambassador Liu Jieyi “ Russia has become one of the chief purveyors of terror in Aleppo , using tactics more commonly associated with thugs than governments , ” US Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations David Pressman told the council . He said Russia was “ intent on allowing the killing to continue and , indeed , participating in carrying it out ” and that what was needed from Moscow was “ less talk and more action from them to stop the slaughter conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle . ” A UN resolution needs nine votes in favour and no vetoes to be adopted .

This is clear from her response to ABC reporter Martha Raddatz ’s painfully loaded question about the Syrian conflict . With Raddatz going on about the hundreds killed by the evil twins , Bashar al - Assad and Putin and even tossing in the Holocaust for good measure , Clinton saw no reason to hold back : “ Well , the situation in Syria is catastrophic and every day that goes by we see the results of the regime – by Assad in partnership with the Iranians on the ground , the Russians in the air – bombarding conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle places , in particular Aleppo where there are hundreds of thousands of people , probably about 250,000 still left , and there is a determined effort by the Russian air force to destroy Aleppo in order to eliminate the last of the Syrian rebels who are really holding out against the Assad regime . “ Russia has n’t paid any attention to ISIS . They ’re interested in keeping Assad in power .

At least 18 of 31 trucks in a U.N. and Syrian Arab Red Crescent ( SARC ) convoy were hit along with an SARC warehouse , said U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric . The convoy was delivering aid for 78,000 people in the hard - to - reach town of Urm al - Kubra in Aleppo Governorate , he said . U.N. aid chief Stephen O'Brien said initial reports indicated many people had been killed or seriously wounded , including SARC volunteers , and that if the " callous attack conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle " was found to be deliberate it amount to a war crime . " Notification of the convoy ... had been provided to all parties to the conflict and the convoy was clearly marked as humanitarian , " he said in a statement , calling for an immediate , independent investigation . The attack appeared to signal the imminent collapse of the latest effort by the United States and Russia to halt Syria 's 5 - 1/2-year - old civil war .

" Terrorists get annihilated conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle in Russia , " he told Reuters .

Jeffrey Goldberg has declared that “ Hillary Clinton is running against Vladimir Putin , ” and Mrs. Clinton , for her part , has issued a statement that does everything but accuse Trump of being a Manchurian candidate . Neocon Jamie Kirchick , in his bizarre piece for the Los Angeles Times advocating a military coup against Trump should he be elected , cites the Trump campaign ’s successful effort to scotch a plank in the GOP platform calling for arming the Ukrainian government with offensive weapons as a reason to oust President Trump . Similarly , the Clinton statement attacks conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle Trump for the same thing – as if the American people want to start a military conflict in Europe for the sake of a corrupt kleptocracy that came to power by overthrowing the elected President . We have n’t seen a smear campaign like this since the frigid winter of the cold war , when anyone who deviated from the “ commies under the bed ” paranoia of that era was denounced as a “ subversive ” and hauled before a congressional inquisition . Both wings of the War Party are united in their hatred for Trump ’s “ America First ” policy of minding our own business and staying out of foreign wars .

A nation that would n’t see civilian deaths as acceptable collateral damage from drone assassinations of suspected terrorists . That would n’t advocate and laugh at murder — even of admitted terrorists . You ’d expect something more along the lines of “ We tried our best to capture him alive so that we could bring him back to face justice starting with a fair trial , but , sadly , he died in a firefight conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle . ” With a serious face , becoming of a Presumptive Future President . Not with a cackle that dismisses the value of human life , a value enshrined in the American conception of justice : innocent until proven guilty . Yep , Robert Gates ; Gang of Three ; Dick Cheney ( “ Vice”)—those are the Comrades with whom she shares her voluminous experience .

Over the past six months it 's gotten worse , according to Airwars . “ Between December and May , in both Iraq and Syria , there was a marked increase in the number of alleged casualty incidents and civilian death attributed to coalition actions , ” it says . In Iraq , the group reports that between 297 and 518 civilians were killed by coalition airstrikes conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle in this time . In Syria , between 197 and 274 civilians were killed , “ a 38 percent increase in likely civilian deaths above the previous six months . ” The U.S. has admitted to killing just 20 civilians .

As the executive director of the largest American Muslim group , CAIR , said yesterday : “ For many years , members of the LGBT community have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Muslim community against acts of hate crimes , Islamophobia , marginalization , and discrimination . Today , we stand with them , shoulder to shoulder . ” Muslims who work to make Islam more open to LGBTs deserve support , but those most eager to demonize Islam — for all sorts of tribalistic , nationalistic , and religious reasons — typically erase such people because their presence demonstrates how misleading the absolutist pictures of Muslims they want to paint are . Despite all this data , the standard group of hateful polemicists who literally seem to devote their lives to exploiting every news event to attack Islam wasted no time yesterday — before any facts were known , while the bodies were literally still in the club — squeezing the horrific slaughter conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle in Orlando to depict Muslims as uniquely hateful of LGBTs . Never mind that the suspect , Omar Mateen , showed no signs of religious fanaticism , was ( according to numerous close sources ) suffering from mental illness , had a history of wife - beating , worked for a major defense / mercenary contractor , had no known connection to extremist groups until his 911 call citing ISIS , and was obsessed with joining the NYPD . The opportunity to exploit LGBT suffering to fuel the standard anti - Muslim agenda was far too attractive to resist , no matter how many facts negate it .

Ankara has given Russia the go - ahead to use its Incirlik air base for operations in Syria , though no official request from Moscow to use the strategic military facility has been made , Turkey ’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Saturday . The base , located some 100 kilometers from the Syrian border , is currently being used by the US - led coalition against the Islamic State to launch airstrikes conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle against the jihadist group in neighboring Iraq and Syria . “ Turkey opened Incirlik airbase to fight Daesh [ Islamic State ] terrorists . It is being used by the US and Qatar .

As the nuclear monarch , it would be his prerogative , but in fact a rationale exists for doing so . With the whiff of Cold War confrontation back in the air as Russia and NATO square off over the Baltic and the Black Sea and ramp up their global nuclear operations as well as their investment in new nuclear weapons systems , the security environment has deteriorated to the point of needing to strengthen the resilience of the nuclear command , control and communications and early warning network . Decades of neglect of this network coupled with a rollback of pre - delegated authority increased its vulnerability to a decapitation strike by a combination of kinetic and cybernetic assaults conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle . If command and control fails , nothing else matters . To whom might Trump pre - delegate his launch authority to shore up the credibility of strategic deterrence and continuity of government , and what terms would he specify ?

As they seek to maximize gains before the talks , all sides are inflicting new pain on civilians . Even now , as the Syrian government promises to allow United Nations aid into Madaya as soon as Monday — as international outrage over reports of starvation mounts — government forces are tightening a new siege on another rebel - held town , Moadhamiyeh , a suburb of Damascus . “ Surrender or you will be annihilated conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle , ” was the message residents say Mr. Assad ’s negotiators delivered to Moadhamiyeh — which endured a chemical weapons attack in 2013 and a two - year siege that ended with a deal favoring the government . Using hunger as a weapon flies in the face of international law . Yet global and regional powers — like Russia , Iran , the United States and Saudi Arabia — are unable or unwilling to pressure their battlefield allies .

This is how they treat someone who 's willing to come on board . I wonder how they treat people who are against them . ' " BATTLE conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle FOR THE SENATE : -- The Khan family is becoming a big issue down the ballot -- > “ Khizr Khan calls on John McCain to stand up to Trump , ” by Cronkite News ’s Emily Zentner ( they are affiliated with Arizona PBS ) : “ The last book Khizr Khan sent his son Humayun , an Army captain who was killed in a 2004 car bombing in Iraq , was Sen. John McCain ’s ‘ Why Courage Matters.’ Khan said he has long respected the Arizona Republican , and that one of his last conversations with his son had been about the book and McCain ’s sacrifice … McCain had been ‘ my and my family ’s hero,’ whom Khan said they admired as someone who ‘ gave so much in care of others.’ ... It ’s that admiration that led Khan to call on McCain and other GOP leaders to withdraw their support of Trump : ‘ I implore Sen. McCain … this will be a historic moment in the Republican Party,’ Khan said during an interview with Cronkite News . ‘ If you publicly rebuked him , you will look back and you will stand tall in front of the nation and you will say you were not for this , we were for [ a ] better America,’ he said .

This is just a mess . First off , he dodges a question on Afghanistan by offering a very bad answer on a totally unrelated topic , ISIS . He once again calls that conflict conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle a " war for the soul of Islam " — this is false , and it is both worrying reductive and cringe - inducingly tasteless to make it about Islam . He repeats his bizarre praise for the authoritarian monarch for Jordan . He says that a " Muslim army , " which he often brings up as his magical unicorn solution for ISIS , should fix it .

I think the administration should have said : " No . We are going to at least create safe zones . We are not going to let you massacre conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle people with impunity .

The decision comes after the collapse of a U.S.-Russia brokered cease - fire that took effect at the beginning of September . If the cease - fire held for seven days and humanitarian aid got to besieged areas of the country , the United States and Russia were to start coordinating militarily to target the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria ( ISIS ) and the group formerly known as al Nusra . But the cease - fire crumbled after the United States accidentally struck Syrian troops while targeting ISIS and an aid convoy was destroyed in an airstrike conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle suspected to be carried out by Russia or the Syrian regime . Further hope for a renewed cease - fire evaporated as regime forces , with Russian backing , pummeled Aleppo in a new assault on rebel - held parts of the city . On Wednesday , the United States threatened to cut off talks with Russia if bombing in Aleppo did n’t immediately stop .

America the vulnerable ISIS - inspired terrorists are now exploiting our country 's unique and astonishingly easy access to military - derived weapons , where a semiautomatic AR-15 can be purchased in under 10 minutes . In the past year , we 've seen two mass shootings — in San Bernardino and Orlando — by self - radicalized terrorists who secured weapons for their mass slaughter conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle with trivial effort . These terrorists are exploiting a vulnerability identified in jihadi training materials going back over a decade . A terrorist manual discovered in Afghanistan in the early 2000s titled " How can I train myself for Jihad " encourages would - be terrorists to obtain military - grade weapons in America : In " some states of USA , " it reads , " it is perfectly legal for members of the public to own certain types of firearms .

Peter Feaver , a former National Security Council official in the George W. Bush White House , said that Trump ’s position — which fits Trump ’s broader view that the U.S. should avoid Middle East entanglements — has a surface appeal but ultimately does not make sense . " In theory , this is not an irresponsible position , ” Feaver said , noting that the U.S. forged an “ alliance of convenience ” with Russian dictator Josef Stalin during World War II . “ In practice , however , it is fatally flawed , ” Feaver added , noting that all three countries are waging brutal assaults conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle on Sunni groups in Syria that are likely to fuel long - term extremism . “ So while there might be a few narrow tactical scenarios where the United States can coordinate with one or other of these in a short - term tactical engagement against an ISIS outpost , in the larger war against ISIS they are not reliable partners , ” Feaver said . Some conservatives argued that Trump ’s position echoes current U.S. policy .

Hillary Clinton 's support for violent regime change in Syria has thrown the country into one of the bloodiest civil wars anyone has ever seen , while giving ISIS a launching pad for terrorism against the West . [ The Arab uprisings of 2011 included peaceful demonstrations in Syria . But President Bashar Assad 's security forces began attacking protesters , and the clashes conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle rapidly escalated into a civil war . President Obama was extremely wary of direct U.S. involvement , and his administration was criticized for not taking stronger action in the first few years . U.S. forces began bombing the Islamic State in Syria in 2014 , well after Clinton left her post as secretary of state .

Mr. Trump , who has declined to make his tax returns public , has denied that he has business interests in Russia .

Back in a October , David Brock 's pro - Clinton Super PAC mistakenly raised over a million dollars for Bernie Sanders by comparing him to U.K. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn . After Brock failed to clarify what he meant by the analogy , Bloomberg Politics Editor Mark Halperin accused the Clinton campaign of engaging in " McCarthyite tactics , where the campaign is n’t willing to stand up and say – or the super PAC – this is what we ’re saying . " More recently , the Guardian got a hold of an anti - Sanders dossier alleging he had " sympathized with the USSR during the Cold War conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle " by traveling to a small Russian city in 1987 — an attack the newspaper suggested might factor into Clinton 's message . SPIN Media - owned Death and Taxes magazine responded with the headline , " Clinton goes full McCarthyism , brands Sanders a Communist sympathizer .

You tell me . Clarke : Well , I think Turkey is very important to the stability of the region and I think we have to be very hands on in our relationship with Turkey . We have as a national policy under law that we do n’t support military coups conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle against democratic governments . I think that ’s a good basic law , so we had to oppose that coups . But my sympathy personally is not with President Erdoğan because I think he has been doing his own version of a slow - rolling coups taking what was a secular state where there was constitutional separation between mosque and state , as we have separation between church and state , and he ’s been eroding that over the course of the last five to seven years .

Erdoğan also touched upon the PKK 's terror attack on an elementary school which happened on early Friday in Turkey 's southeastern Diyarbakır province . He said that the terror attack on the school showed the vicious plans of the terror organization . Erdoğan said that the attack was also a response to the 1,128 academics who signed a petition that described security operations against the PKK in the country 's southeast as a " massacre conflict.attack.selfdirectedbattle . " " They [ the academics ] say ' This is who we are . We do n't have a problem with this issue .
