Russia Issues Warning On Syria As G8 Gathers For Summit -- BBC
World leaders have gathered in Northern Ireland for a G8 summit set to be dominated by the conflict in Syria.
UK PM David Cameron said he hoped G8 nations would focus on finding "common ground" on the issue of bringing peace.
But Moscow, Syria's key ally, opposes US plans to arm the rebels and on Monday its foreign ministry said Russia would not allow a no-fly zone to be imposed over Syria.
The two-day summit is also expected to focus on global economic issues.
Other nations joining the UK, US and Russia for the 39th Summit of the Group of Eight (G8) in Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, are Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.
The delegations have now all arrived at Lough Erne.
