Six Years of Civil War in Syria

We take a closer look at the impact of six years of civil war

Today across the BBC World Service, we will take a snapshot of the situation in Syria. We are looking at what life is like for Syrian people living inside and outside of the country's borders. Nearly five million people have fled the country. The BBC's Ben James is at a refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, speaking to some of them.

The ousted president of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, has arrived in court for a hearing to decide whether she should be arrested over a corruption scandal which led to her impeachment. Ms Park denies any wrongdoing.

We speak to a designer from an architecture firm that has come up with a skyscraper that is suspended from cables in the sky. Is it just blue sky thinking?
