The Guardian reports:
David Cameron will challenge Vladimir Putin next week to support a fresh UN security council resolution condemning the Assad regime in Syria and paving the way for non-military intervention.
The prime minister will raise his concerns with the Russian president when Putin visits London next Thursday to see the judo at the Olympic Games.
Cameron made light of the Putin visit, his first to London since he embarked on the presidency again, when he spoke to the Global Investment Conference in London on Thursday.
Stressing that the main focus of their talks would be trade, the prime minister said: “We will be at the judo so it may be a bit off-putting. But nonetheless I know my major priority is to get those trade deals, to get that investment and not to concentrate on what is happening on the mat.”
