The Hill's Kristina Wong has more: The Obama administration has rejected creating air and ground zones in Syria for two reasons: a declaration of a no-fly zone would be an act of war against Syria, and it would take additional air assets as well as ground troops to patrol the zones around the clock.

While Obama has maintained an extremely restrained approach to the crisis, sending Secretary of State John Kerry to multiple, so far useless, diplomatic marathons with his Russian counterpart even as Russia continues bombing civilians in support of Assad, Clinton sounds determined to impose a no-fly zone, which would defy not only Syria's army but also Russia.

Clinton is by far the more conventionally experienced and credentialed candidate, and in some respects is more hawkish: She has called for the creation of a no-fly zone in Syria, as well as more airstrikes there, and has urged closer collaboration with Silicon Valley to expand the United States' surveillance capabilities, alarming some civil liberties advocates.

In its life, it refueled fighter jets patrolling the no-fly zone in Iraq before the 2003 invasion, and later it ferried troops and equipment into and out of the war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, assignments that meant using rutted runways in dusty locales, according to records and photographs taken of it over the years.

Both local police and federal agencies have been slow to make information about police surveillance and suppression of the protests public: Several Freedom of Information requests filed by Motherboard and other news outlets have been outright rejected, while a FOIA request about the no fly zone has been delayed several times and is now two months past the FAA's self-imposed deadline.

But this didn't mean it was a cakewalk for Clinton either; she was asked to respond to the now-revealed transcripts from her Goldman Sachs speeches (released in the WikiLeaks' trove of emails from her campaign chair John Podesta's account), in which she said she dreamed of "open borders," as well as her proposal to have a no-fly zone Syria.

When Mr. Trump teed off at one of his golf courses on Saturday, surrounded by a phalanx of security officers, a group of protesters nearby unleashed a barrage of chants, including, "No Trump, no K.K.K., no racist U.S.A." The Scottish police said on Saturday that they were pursuing a paraglider who had breached the no-fly zone over the resort.

Yes. In northern Syria, a no-fly zone targeted at Assad's air force and safe zones for refugees fleeing the fighting would help halt the massive flow of refugees out of Syria, many of whom are heading to Europe, and also help reduce whatever remains of ISIS' appeal to the Sunni population of Syria, to whom it can pose as their defenders against the Syrian regime.

Russia's defense ministry said Monday that it will treat U.S.-led coalition planes west of the Euphrates in Syria as targets after the U.S. downed a Syrian jet over the weekend, bringing an end to the agreement between the U.S. and Moscow, reports FT. The no-fly zone demanded by Russia: Key cities like Aleppo and Damascus would be out of bounds for coalition aircraft.

Heathrow Pause suggested it had up to 213 people willing to volunteer to fly toy drones a few feet off the ground within a 22019km drone "no fly" zone around the airport — an act that would technically be in breach of U.K. laws on drone flights, although the group said it would only use small drones, flown at head height and not within flight paths.

And I'm going to continue to push for a no-fly zone and safe havens within Syria not only to help protect the Syrians and prevent the constant outflow of refugees, but to, frankly, gain some leverage on both the Syrian government and the Russians so that perhaps we can have the kind of serious negotiation necessary to bring the conflict to an end and go forward on a political track.
