A one-hour news-analysis program that presents a clear and simple picture of complex world events. The Syrian presidential Telegram channel, in a statement attributed to Bashar al-Assad, revealed his flight to Russia and how his government fell. The statement said that he had no intention of stepping down, but that the lightning advance of the rebels and the retreat of the army had left him no choice but to flee. In Syria, the new ruling body is still in a festive mood. Israel, of course, has continued to carry out fierce attacks on Syrian military installations, including an unprecedented destruction of the port of Tartus. The port, which until ten days ago was a well-equipped Syrian naval base and host to the Russian naval fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. Ahmed al-Sharaa, known as Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the leader of the Islamists who toppled the Assad government, says that military and militia groups are being disbanded. So far, Britain and the United States have contacted people loyal to him. There have also been calls to remove his name from the US blacklist. Are these Islamists changing Syria's course by looking to the West?
