Britain to 'play a role' in Yazidi rescue mission in Iraq

WEDNESDAY 13 AUGUST 2014
David Cameron says "detailed plans are now being put in place" for an international mission to Iraq but will they be enough to help the thousands of Yazidi refugees still stranded on Mount Sinar?

The prime minister, David Cameron, spoke on Wednesday after returning from his family holiday to chair a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee to discuss the crisis.

He insisted the UK involvement remained a humanitarian mission as he faced calls to directly arm Kurdish forces or join the US in air strikes against Islamic State (IS) fighters.
