Syrian Army Enters Manbij Amid Turkey Threats

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The Syrian government says its troops have entered the northern city of Manbij, that had for years been under the control of US-backed Kurdish forces.

Also on the programme: An explosion on an Egyptian tourist bus has killed at least three people and injured others, close to the pyramids; and we remember Amos Oz, the acclaimed Israeli writer who has died at the age of 79.
