Obama: No military solution in Syria

US President Barack Obama tells the UN General Assembly that the free world must be united against extremism but recognize that different situations need different solutions.

“If we are honest, then we understand that no external force is going to force communities to co exist,” he says.

“There is a military component – it means being united and relentless against ISIL but it also means that in places like Syria, where there is no military solution, we are going to need diplomacy.”
