BBC World Service - Weekend, Donald Trump's Syria Challenge

How will Donald Trump deal with Syria when he becomes US President?

When Donald Trump is inaugurated in January, his most difficult foreign policy challenge will be Syria's five-year long conflict. The Syrian government now controls the country's largest city, Aleppo. The United Nations wants the ceasefire in Aleppo to be followed by peace talks.

Also in the programme, a look back at who we've lost in 2016 and a bomb evacuation in Germany.
