Syrian detainees
We hear from two people who were imprisoned in Syria.
Syria's new leaders have vowed to dissolve the Assad regime's security forces, close its prisons and hunt down anyone involved in the torture or killing of detainees. We speak to our correspondent in the capital Damascus. We also hear a conversation with Noor, who was detained for a year in Syria, and with Omar, a former inmate at Saydnaya prison.
A growing number of legislators from the South Korean president's own party say they'll support his impeachment, despite his attempts to hang on to power. We speak to our Asia/Pacific regional editor in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ newsroom.
Ethiopia and Somalia have agreed to work together to resolve a dispute triggered by Ethiopian plans to build a port on the Gulf of Aden. Our Africa regional editor explains.
Presenter: Mark Lowen.
