Following the downing of a Russian warplane last week by Turkey, Russia has shown no signs of letting up on its military operations near the Turkish-Syrian border.
Prior to the incident, Moscow ignored calls by Ankara to put an "immediate end" to its airstrikes on Turkmen rebel brigades operating along the border.
The tension culminated in Turkey's decision to down the Su-24 fighter jet, which had been bombing units of Liwa Jabal al-Turkman — an ethnic Turkish group backed by Turkey — at the time it was downed.
Russia insisted the plane had been bombing "terrorists" in the area.

Kim K Kendall Jenner and Angelina Jolie to look battered and bruised for anti violence campaign


An artist jacked photos of Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner to use them for a worthy cause -- the #StopViolenceAgainstWomen campaign.
The photos depict Kim and her sis with horrific cuts and bruises with the caption:
"No woman is immune from domestic abuse." It's a powerful image and message, but we're told neither Kim nor Kendall signed off to join the fight. 
Sources say that the sisters weren't contacted before their photos were used for the campaign and now their attorneys are reaching out to the artist responsible to issue a warning.

The photoshopped images are actually photos from last year's Valentino fashion show in Paris.

Sources say Kim and Kendall happen to back the cause, but also think the artist should have contacted them first and gotten them involved before using their photos.

Obama warns Putin on intervening in Syria's civil war

US President Barack Obama looks on during the opening ceremony of the COP21, United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Le Bourget, outside Paris, on November 30, 2015. President Barack Obama warned his Russian counterpart Tuesday against intervening in Syria's civil war, suggesting that Vladimir Putin is aware of the dangers his country faces by entering the bloody conflict.
"I think Mr. Putin understands that ... with Afghanistan fresh in the memory, for him to simply get bogged down in an inconclusive and paralyzing civil conflict is not the outcome that he's looking for," Obama said at a news conference in Paris.
Obama said he does not disagree with Putin -- with whom he met on Monday -- on the necessity of a political resolution to Syria's conflict. But he said there remains discord over the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who the United States insists must leave power as part of a political transition. But he said the reality on the ground in Syria could change Putin's calculus.
