Aleppo evacuation 'will take days'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As the UN dubs the fall of Aleppo 'a black chapter in the history of international relations' we assess the balance of power in the region. Plus Facebook says it's taking on fake news - but it will produce real results? We hear from a victim of abuse at the Shirley Oaks Care homes, Raymond Stevenson after a landmark compensation deal. And as the US Ambassador sings the praises of Hull we hear from fan of the city Roger McGough. Photo: Syrians board a bus to escape Aleppo Credit: AFP/Getty Images.
