Civilians Caught in Crossfire in Syria's Eastern Ghouta

BBC World Service - Newshour, Civilians Caught in Crossfire in Syria's Eastern Ghouta

In Syria the fight for Eastern Ghouta continues, with civilians bearing the brunt

Syrians trapped in the besieged rebel enclave of Eastern Ghouta have been speaking of their desperation, on the fourth day of an intense government bombardment. We hear from a resident, as well as a Russian perspective.

Also on the programme: Using virtual reality to tell the story of a furious dispute over the Nile's precious water; also - Italians go to the polls at the end of next week to vote for a new government; we hear from Milan.
