Description

Fireworks have been exploding late into the night as tens of thousands of Syrians celebrate the downfall of Assad's brutal regime in Damascus. We ask Syrians how they see an uncertain future - and ask whether the UK's decision not to intervene over a decade ago helped keep Assad in power.

Also on the programme:

France's new prime minister - the fourth this year - says he has a mountain to climb. We ask a French MP whether he'll face the same fate a his short-lived predecessor.

And does fidgeting get you in a twitch? The medical condition that explains why some people feel visceral anger towards fidgeters - and whether it can be treated.
