Rebel groups begin transition of power in Syria
Islamist rebel leader, Abu Mohammed Al- Jolani, says senior officials of the deposed Assad regime who were involved in torturing political prisoners will be held accountable.
Expectations are running high in Syria after the downfall of the Assad regime. We speak to people in Damascus about their views on the Islamist rebels who are now in charge.
With the end of the brutal Assad rule, thousands of refugees have been been planning a return back home but could be finding themselves in limbo. We will be speaking to an MP in Turkey, the country that hosts the most Syrian refugees.
We will also be hearing from the lawyer of Gisèle Pelicot, the seventy-two year old woman whose mass rape orchestrated by her husband shocked France and the world.
