Russian and Syrian warplanes carry out airstrikes on rebel territories in northern Syria. Our BBC Monitoring jihadist analyst talks us through some of the history of Syria's conflict, and profiles Haayat Tahrir al Sham, the group that now controls Aleppo. We also hear from a resident about the fear gripping people living there.
Also on the programme: We hear from Georgia where there's been a third night of clashes between police and protesters, and get the government response to the claim it suspended talks on membership of the European Union. Also, why talks at the plastic waste summit in South Korea, appear to have failed.
