Anger and retribution in Syria

Anger and retribution in Syria where people have been destroying remnants of the Assad regime, including the tomb of Hafez al-Assad, father of the ousted president.

Anger and retribution in Syria where people have been destroying remnants of the Assad regime, including the tomb of Hafez al-Assad, father of the ousted president. With some evidence of revenge attacks on individuals, what are HTS and other revolutionary groups saying? We also hear about what Syrian Kurds want for their future.

Also in the programme: a suicide bomber kills an Afghan minister - the most senior Taliban official to die in an attack since it returned to power; and we bring together a critic and the director of the Netflix dramatisation of Gabriel GarcΓ­a MΓ΅rquez's epic masterpiece A Hundred Years of Solitude and ask: does it work?
