BEIRUT (AP) – The latest on the Russian warplane shot down by Turkey on Tuesday (All times local):

1:40 p.m.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has approved a new government led by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu following the ruling party’s victory in Turkey’s Nov. 1 election.

Erdogan approved a Cabinet list presented by Davutoglu on Tuesday, hours after Turkey shot down a Russian plane it said violated its airspace and ignored repeated warnings.

The ruling party regained the parliamentary majority it had lost in a June vote. The Nov. 1 election was a re-run called by Erdogan after Davutoglu’s efforts for a coalition government failed.
