New photos suggest Russia's operation in Syria stretches well beyond its air campaign

Three serving or former Russian soldiershave been geolocated by photographs in Syria, including locations near Hama, Aleppo and Homs, Russian bloggers said on Sunday, suggesting the Kremlin's operation stretches well beyond its air campaign.

Russia first launched air strikes to support President Bashar al-Assad in Syria's four-year civil war on Sept. 30 but has repeatedly said it has no intention of mounting a ground operation. 

It has instead said it will limit its help to military trainers, advisers and deliveries of military equipment.

Big match feature: Nigeria vs Mali U17 WCup final

This will be Nigeria’s second successive trip to the final after beating Mexico 3-0 in the final to win the last edition in the United Arab Emirates.

It will also be a second all-Africa final at the Fifa Under-17 World Cup after Nigeria edged out Ghana 1-0 in the final of the 1993 edition in Japan where a Wilson Oruma header put the Starlets to the sword.

While accepting the award, he made bizarre jokes about his predilection for Botox and Zayn Malik leaving One Direction.

This to the obvious embarrassment of the remaining members of the boyband who were present with Cowell on stage. The sense of crisis was unmistakable.
