Syria: Dozens of soldiers killed as rebels advance

Russia conducts strikes in support of the Syrian army.

The Syrian army says dozens of its soldiers were killed in a major attack after rebels swept through Aleppo city - a government stronghold since 2016. Also in the programme: we hear from a soldier on Ukraine's eastern front who volunteered to fight Russians at the age of 18; and, we hear from the director of the new, star-studded, Oscar-tipped film 'Conclave'.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by The Guardian's senior international correspondent Julian Borger and Ulrike Franke, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
