epa04986383 A picture made available on 21 October 2015 shows Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad entering a hall during their meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, 20 October 2015. Beleaguered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad travelled to Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin revealed on 21 October 2015. Assad and Putin discussed the situation in war-torn Syria on 20 October 2015 evening during the talks that had not been made public in advance, the Kremlin spokesman said. The talks dealt with the 'fight against terrorist extremist groups' and with Russian air support for attacks by Syrian troops on the ground. Russia has been carrying out airstrikes in Syria since the end of September. Moscow has declared the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS) as the main enemy, but Western nations have accused Moscow of attacking other groups opposed to the Assad regime.

epa04971838 A Singaporean crew aboard a Chinook helicopter arrives at the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport in Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia, 10 October 2015. Foreign teams have began arriving in Indonesia to help fight forest fires that have sent choking smog across parts of South-East Asia, an official said. The government has said that Australia, China, Russia and South Korea would also send fire-fighting teams. Haze from forest fires is an annual hazard that also frequently affects neighbouring Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The pollution has led this year to school closures, flight disruptions and air pollution in areas affected. The practice of open burning to clear land for agriculture is illegal but common in Indonesia. EPA/TAMY UTARI BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE

British energy giant BP will pay a record $20.8 billion to settle government claims for damages stemming from the deadly 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said October 5, 2015."This historic resolution is a strong and fitting response to the worst environmental disaster in American history," Lynch said at a press conference. "BP is receiving the punishment it deserves, while also providing critical compensation for the injuries it caused to the environment and the economy of the Gulf region."
