Momentum against Assad grows in Syria

The momentum in Syria against President Assad appears to be growing across the country. Islamist-led rebels are closing in on Syria's third largest city Homs.
Meanwhile, Kurdish-led forces have also reportedly seized control of Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria. Our Middle East experts explain the developments and we hear from people on the ground.

Staying in the region - it’s been just over 10 days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon began, and despite some Israeli airstrikes and a mortar attack by Hezbollah, it is largely still in place.
