Description

The rebel offensive in Syria has been incredibly quick and effective, recently taking the last of the country's major cities, the capital, Damascus. According to Russian state media, the overthrown Syrian leader Bash-ar al-Assad has been granted asylum in Moscow. The main rebel group leading the offensive, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham says former Prime Minister Mahammed Gha-zee al-Ja-la-lee will oversee state institutions for now. The sweeping change comes after nearly 14 years of civil war. The conflict has seen more than 500-thousand Syrians killed, while millions have fled the country. What questions do you have about Syria and the fall of Bashar al-Assad?


And in our second hour: Tipping. Expectations have changed about who to tip and how much. Which services deserve a tip and which ones don’t? Is it a fair way to pay workers?
