Episode 180: Fall of Syria

In today's show, we'll be looking at the implications of Syria falling into the hands of NATO-backed militias, which include former ISIS and al-Qaeda fighters who've perpetrated unspeakable atrocities.

Our first report sets out who's behind these militias and who stands to gain from the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Our second report considers the role of Israel, the United States, and Turkey. Also, it looks at the surprisingly celebratory tone adopted in certain quarters where the geopolitical significance of these events hasn't yet been grasped.
