The US Secretary of State John Kerry has pledged $123m in new non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition. Kerry's announcement comes after meeting with opposition leaders at a Friends of Syria in Turkey on Saturday. The Syrian National Coalition has been calling for weapons and a no-fly zone to help defeat president Bashar al-Assad's forces. But Kerry insists that a political solution is the primary focus.
