Claim and Counter-Claim over Syria Chemical Attack
Opposing sides of the conflict have different narratives on the attack.
Warring parties of the Syria conflict have different narratives as to what happened during this week's suspected chemical weapons attack in northern Syria. More than 80 people are believed to have been killed. We discuss the various claims and how these effect the military and diplomatic dimensions to the war.
Also in the programme, Myanmar's leader, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aang San Suu Kyi talks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ about allegations of ethnic cleansing of the country's Muslim Rohingya population; and could the horse tranquiliser turned party drug Ketamin be used as a medical anti-depressant?
