Syrian rebels say they are working towards forming a transitional government, a day after they captured Damascus and ousted President Bashar al-Assad.

We hear from Syrians inside the country and from exiles who now are planning to return home.

We also visit BBC Arabic and BBC Russian services to find out about the reaction in their regions.

And, our Middle East experts answer audience questions about the developments in Syria.
