Syrian new government to investigate Assad's regime

The main rebel leader in Syria, Abu Mohammed Al- Jolani says senior officials of the deposed regime who were involved in torturing political prisoners will be held accountable.

Syrian main rebel leader says he will announce a list of former officials wanted for torture. Meanwhile, thousands of Syrians have been gathering outside a notorious prison to search for relatives. Syrian civil defence officials said they had searched for secret cells and basements inside the Saydnaya prison complex but had not found any. We'll report from inside the jail.

We'll speak to a man who served time in a Syrian jail under the Bashar al-Assad regime and has written a book about the country's repressive prison system.

And, Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to testify for the first time at his trial on corruption charges.
