| | | | | Iain McDowell | | 13 December 2024 | | | | Good morning. As Syria's new leaders begin to make their mark, we have dispatches on how life is changing after the Assad regime. We're investigating harmful health misinformation shared by Steven Bartlett on his Diary of a CEO podcast. Plus, you'll find out whether it's worth dreaming of a white Christmas, and take on the quiz of the week. | | | | | | |
| | Joy and uncertainty in Syria after fall of Assad | |  | | Syrians of all ages have been celebrating the downfall the Assad regime. Credit: BBC | | It's been almost a week since Syria's President Bashar al-Assad was driven from power by rebel fighters. After five decades of authoritarian rule, there is now a sense of jubilation. Our correspondent Hugo Bachega has been to Aleppo, a city ravaged by civil war, where residents have raised a new "independence flag" and many who had fled are returning. But elsewhere Jeremy Bowen, our international editor, finds Syrians desperate for answers about their missing loved ones. In the US, President-elect Donald Trump insists he won't be getting America involved in foreign conflicts. But, as Tom Bateman explains, now that the balance of power in the Middle East has been upended, it may not be easy to maintain that policy. | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Andrew 'confidant' banned from UK over national security | | | A Chinese businessman described as a "close confidante" of the Duke of York has lost his appeal against a decision to bar him from entering the UK on national security grounds. The Home Office said it had reason to believe the man - who was invited to Prince Andrew's birthday party in 2020 - had been engaged in covert activity on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. | | | | | Watch out for phone snatchers on trains, police warn passengers | | | Thefts by so-called "gadget grabbers" targeting train passengers are on the rise, with the British Transport Police warning that December is the criminals' busiest month. One man tells us he lost £21,000 after his phone was snatched as he scrolled on it on the London Underground. The thief accessed bank apps and "took everything", says Niall McNamee. "My online banking was showing zero... zero... zero." | | | | | | |

 | | BBC SOUNDS | | | | Amol, Nick and guests analyse whether the Reform UK leader is right to suggest his party could get many more MPs at the next election. | | | |  | | BBC iPLAYER | | | | They're the actors behind small but memorable roles that helped propel the BBC sitcom to its legendary status - but where are they now? | | | | | | |
| |  | | The Mail, the Telegraph and the Times report on an associate of Prince Andrew being banned from the UK over claims that he's a "Chinese spy". Nato members' talks on increased spending on defence are the focus of the FT and the i. The "bizarre food fight" between Kemi Badenoch and PM Keir Starmer tops Metro and the Star after the Tory leader said sandwiches are not "real food". | | | | | | | | |
