Syria's new ruler says he wants all weapons and armed factions to come under state control - and that includes the Syrian Kurds.

Also on the programme: Israel's latest targets in Gaza include an abandoned school housing homeless families and a barely functioning hospital; we hear from a woman who had an online exchange with the Saudi man accused of murder after five people were killed in a car attack at a Christmas market in Germany.

And the Ugandan athlete who's just run from Cape Town to London.
