Description

The father and stepmother of 10-year-old Sara Sharif have been convicted of her murder. She died after years of physical abuse. We examine the lessons the authorites should learn from the case - and ask a clinical psychologist what drives parents to harm their children.

The UN secretary general has described the overthrow of the Assad regime as a moment of hope - while his envoy to Syria has called for an inclusive transition to avoid a new civil war. We hear how ordinary Syrians are feeling about the future - and ask whether a new government in Damascus can hold together the country's different factions.

And the Government's plan to abolish hereditary peers is debated - in the House of Lords.
