President Obama is vowing to help France find the terrorist responsible for the attacks and step up efforts in the fight against the IS in Syria and Iraq. As NPR's MK reports the president is in Turkey for a group of 20 summit and the Paris attacks are looming large. Speaking alongside his Turkish counterpart, president Obama says the skies have been darkened by the killings in Paris and he had this message for the French people. 'We stand in solidarity with them in hunting down the perpetrators of this crime and bringing them to justice.' Obama says the US and its partners like Turkey will redouble efforts to eliminate IS and resolve the war in Syria. World leaders are also talking about the refugee crisis emanating from Syria. Some 2 million Syrians have sought refuge here in Turkey and that Turkish government wants the G20 to help share the burden through humanitarian aid and refugee resettlement. MK, NPR news, Antalya, Turkey. On the sidelines of the G20 today, president Obama met with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Top sports officials in Russia met today to discuss charges of a doping cover-up and they're now publicly responding to the country's suspension from international competition because of it. From Moscow, NPR's KF reports they argue Russia's been unfairly singled out. Russia's Athletics Federation was suspended Friday after an independent commission alleged that Russia's sports program was tainted by state-sponsored doping. The acting head of Russia's Athletics Federation said that international officials are punishing Russia in an effort to divert blame from themselves. Russia's Sports Minister said Russia's doping problem didn't begin in Russia but were caused because of corruption in world athletics. Last week's report on Russian doping said that the sports minister himself must have known that Russian athletes were using performance-enhancing drugs. KF, NPR news, Moscow. This is NPR.

In Canada, the city of Montreal has finished dumping untreated sewage into the St. Lawrence River in order to make repairs to a major sewage line. It's a controversial solution to fixing the aging infrastructure. But as DK reports, the city says it had no choice. The task was completed three days ahead of schedule. Crews worker for 89 hours to conduct repairs on more than 10 miles of a major sewage line. With the work completed early, only one and a quarter billion gallons of untreated waste water was dumped, not the 2 billion gallons that was planed.
