Friends' in Need Syrian rebels to receive salaries from Gulf states





Saudi Arabia and its allies are thought to have agreed to pay salaries to rebels fighting the Syrian regime. The decision came as around 60 nations - all harsh critics of the Syrian government - met in Turkey to discuss how to bolster the opposition and intensify sanctions against President Assad. The U.S and its allies blame Assad for violence in the country, whereas Damascus says it's fighting armed extremists. RT's Sara Firth has been following the talks in Istanbul.
