Syrian Residents Flee Violence in Aleppo

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Syrian Residents Flee Violence in Aleppo

Syrian government attack leaves rebels with only a small pocket in Aleppo.

Our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is just back from Syria and talks about the people she met in the city of Aleppo. 

Also today; arrests in Turkey following Saturday's attacks in which at least 44 people were killed Istanbul.

Who will sing at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, or will he have much choice?

And we visit BBC Africa on the fifth floor to talk about the latest headlines from Nigeria, Kenya, Gambia and Ghana.

Plus the rise in methane gas, and also why squid and chips may have to replace the British favourite, fish and chips.
