BBC World Service - Newshour, Syria: The World's War

After more than seven years of fighting, why is the war in Syria proving so intractable?

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Syria is now into its eighth year of war. What kind of future could the country have if the end came into sight? We hear from the UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres who has been speaking to the BBC, and from our chief correspondent Lyse Doucet who has been making a documentary about the war.

Also on the programme: the latest on devastating storms in northern India, and the alleged affair causing increasing problems for President Trump.
