Syria’s new leader speaks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Ahmed al-Sharaa, the de facto leader of Syria, says country is exhausted by war

Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ the country he leads is exhausted by war and is not a threat to anyone. Sharaa, who previously went by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, says Syria can be reunited after the fall of Assad and called for sanctions against the country to be lifted.

The government has outlined how it will spend Β£1 billion earmarked for homelessness support. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Michael Buchanan has a report on one family left to live in appalling conditions.

And we speak to the oldest newlywed couple on the whirlwind romance that was formed in a nursing home.
