Description

In the latest episode of the Global Talk podcast, we talk to our Middle East correspondent, Josh Wood, about the situation in the divided Syrian city of Aleppo. Opposition fighters recently broke through a weeks-long government siege of rebel-held parts of the city and both sides are now preparing for a showdown, as Josh puts it. But can either side really make that great an advance in the city? Josh answer this question and more. #Aleppo #Syria #BattleForAleppo #Assad #Nusra #JabhatAlNusra #JabhatFatahAlSham #currentaffairs #news #politics #war #podcast #GlobalTalk #UAE #TheNational
