Syria National Day

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Syria National Day

Syria's annual celebration of independence has added impact with the recent strikes

A major concert has been organised in Aleppo by the Syrian presidency to mark national day. Marches are taking place to celebrate independence since 1946. Also, we'll go to Japan to hear about a hunger strike in an immigration detention centre. And what's been going on with video technology in the German football league?
