Momentum against Assad grows in Syria
Syrian government forces appear to be struggling on several fronts.
The momentum in Syria against President Assad appears to be growing across the country. Islamist-led rebels are closing in on Syria's third largest city Homs.
Meanwhile, Kurdish-led forces have also reportedly seized control of Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria. Our Middle East experts explain the developments and we hear from people on the ground.
Staying in the region -  it’s been just over 10 days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon began, and despite some Israeli airstrikes and a mortar attack by Hezbollah, it is largely still in place.
