losing in on Aleppo, foreign Shiite fighters tighten grip on Syria
Officials in the EU have urged Turkey to let in tens of thousands of Syrian refugees trapped on its border at Kilis after fleeing fighting.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said there was a moral, if not legal, duty to provide protection.
Turkey says the refugees are receiving food and shelter inside Syria and there is no need to allow them to cross.
About 35,000 Syrians have fled a Syrian government offensive on rebel-held positions near Aleppo

South African constitution
This means the constitution protects everyone's religion, as long as it acts within ambit of the law - this also makes it easy for anyone to start a church.
Reverend Moss Nthla of the Evangelical Alliance of South Africa, which has more than three million members, accepts that the Christian family is facing many challenges but says the government cannot be called upon to address spiritual matters.

Pets of the week for Sunday, Feb. 7,
Diesel
Diesel is a 5½-year-old neutered Labrador mix, current on his vaccinations. He is a handsome, intelligent and affectionate dog, and he as a typical lovable Labrador that would love to be your walking buddy. His previous owner said he could be territorial and sometimes didn’t like other dogs. We will require a dog-meet at the humane society before adoption. He would do best in a home with respectful children 10 and older. He doesn’t like to be crated, and his previous owners allowed him to roam in the house when he was left unattended. He is intelligent, and he knows “sit,” “lie down,” “shake” and “high-five.”
