Rigorous analysis of news and current affairs, presented by Mark Mardell.

Presented by Mark Mardell. As Nato meets to discuss Russia's operation in Syria, is a diplomatic solution to the escalating crisis any closer?

As NATO meets to discuss Russia's intervention in Syria, one of President Putin's allies tells us that Russia's bombing campaign has secured Moscow a position of influence in future political talks to resolve the crisis.
Lord Owen, who helped to broker the famous Dayton peace deal which brought an end to the war in Bosnia reflects on how a political solution might be agreed over the future of Syria, and what those involved would have to concede before negotiations could begin in earnest.

We take you on an extraordinary journey - our reporter Manveen Rana has followed one Syrian family on their trek from the Middle East right across Europe. We hear her first report.

And...Was David Cameron's speech to Conference a triumph of Blairite Centrism, or One Nation Conservatism? Tony Blair's former head of strategy, and David Cameron's former chief of staff discuss.
