World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

British MPs have rejected possible UK military intervention against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government to deter the use of chemical weapons. In a vote last night, Thirty Conservative and nine Liberal Democrat MPs voted against the government's motion, ruling out joining US-led strikes. On today's programme we hear a conversation between one of the MPs that voted against the motion, and a Syrian.
