Inside Homs with Syria's White Helmets

On today’s episode we speak to Farouq Habib from Syria’s White
Helmets about returning to his home city of Homs for the first
time in over a decade. He tells us about the devastation Bashar
al-Assad wreaked across Syria, and how the country can heal now
that the regime has fallen. Plus: The Telegraph’s senior foreign
correspondent Sophia Yan has been on the Turkish-Syrian border.
She’s been speaking to refugees excited to finally be able to go
back, but also to Turkish Alawites who continue to have an
affinity for Assad.
