HMS Victorious was the second of the four ballistic missile submarines to emerge from the Devonshire Dock Hall in Barrow, where she was officially 'launched' on 29 September 1993. Based at Clyde Naval Base, HMS Victorious' is continuing the Royal Navy's proud record of over 40 years of uninterrupted nuclear deterrence, as at least one of the four 'bombers' is on patrol at any time.</image:caption></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-26T20:38:35+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/02/16/why-hillary-clinton-is-feeling-the-bern/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/24480213852_3db2be69bd_b.jpg</image:loc><image:title>24480213852_3db2be69bd_b</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-21T18:19:55+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/02/11/we-must-support-our-junior-doctors/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/22268201181_50fc4beb08_b.jpg</image:loc><image:title>22268201181_50fc4beb08_b</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-20T11:55:09+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2015/09/18/the-distinction-between-nationalism-and-patriotism/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/cover_nationalism1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>cover_nationalism1</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-19T16:24:00+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/02/07/renewables-are-the-future/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1385624_c77d5361.jpg</image:loc><image:title>1385624_c77d5361</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-12T18:44:00+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/02/03/thoughts-after-iowa/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2167454476_b173edc397_b.jpg</image:loc><image:title>2167454476_b173edc397_b</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/16491577129_5c689d15e9_o.jpg</image:loc><image:title>16491577129_5c689d15e9_o</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-07T14:13:35+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/01/24/democracy-is-failing/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/dictatorial_democracy.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Dictatorial_democracy</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2017-06-02T06:01:40+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/01/19/banning-trump-is-like-bandaging-a-broken-leg/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/4642915654_fb8a4a44f5_o.jpg</image:loc><image:title>4642915654_fb8a4a44f5_o</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-01-26T22:59:34+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/01/09/the-media-is-making-news-not-reporting-it/</loc><lastmod>2016-01-26T07:10:56+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/01/06/the-rise-of-china-and-its-consequences/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/china1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>china1</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-02-09T00:31:53+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2015/07/13/free-schools-and-their-mixed-ramifications/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/david-cameron-speaks-duri-007.jpg</image:loc><image:title>David-Cameron-speaks-duri-007</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-01-08T14:45:42+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2016/01/04/americas-religious-right-is-destroying-the-gop/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1426754247777.jpg</image:loc><image:title>1426754247777</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-01-31T22:53:38+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2015/12/31/thank-you-all-for-a-great-2015/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/images.jpg</image:loc><image:title>images</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2016-01-04T23:31:32+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/contact/</loc><lastmod>2016-01-04T21:51:20+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.6</priority></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2015/12/26/2015-the-economic-year-reviewed/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/janet-yellen.jpg</image:loc><image:title>janet-yellen</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2015-12-31T00:07:53+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://pertinentproblems.com/2015/12/21/2015-the-political-year-reviewed/</loc><lastmod>2015-12-26T11:25:22+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><

A U.S.-led military coalition has been bombing Islamic State fighters who hold a large swathe of territory in both Iraq and Syria, two countries involved in complex multi-sided civil wars in which nearly every country in the Middle East has a stake.



The Turkish military and police had declared the Turkish-Syrian border area a "military zone", which limits the ability of the press to move around. 

In these days of modern warfare, the weaponry is more powerful than that in the old days. So all of my colleagues and I have to be doubly careful to ensure we do not end up in the line of fire, as positions of Kurdish YPG fighters and IS militants change quickly. 

For all those reasons, to stay away is the only solution at the moment.

 We ended up on hills about 2km (1.24 miles) away from Kobani using very long telephoto lenses, often more than 1000mm, to get a peek into the city while listening to the sound of war and smelling its scent.

  Sometimes you see a shadow of a fighter hiding behind a building and more often you see the massive impact of heavy airstrikes. 

It is a bit strange sitting there with lenses I usually use for sports photography alongside people from the area, who come to the hills to see what's going on.  They bring binoculars and make tea - making it almost seems like a tourist attraction. - Kai Pfaffenbach       REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach (TURKEY - Tags: MILITARY POLITICS CONFLICT TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., participates in a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, April 29, 2015.  Sanders will announce his plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, presenting a liberal challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Sanders, an independent who describes himself as a "democratic socialist," will follow a statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.
