New Middle East correspondent Henry Bodkin talks to Venetia Rainey about his recent trip to Syria where he went out on the road with ruling party Hayat Tahrir al-Sham looking for former Assad regime loyalists. He also discusses the stories behind the biggest headlines from the Middle East, including what the latest hostage release tells us about Hamas’ remaining strength in Gaza and why one Israeli woman was left off the list.

Plus, Roland Oliphant explains why Congo’s foreign minister has accused its neighbour Rwanda of declaring war and the role ‘blood minerals’ are playing in the conflict.
