Over 500 killed in clashes in Western Syria
Over 500 people have been killed in violent clashes between gunmen loyal to ousted President Bashar al Assad and the authorities.
Assad is from the Alawite religious minority and there are reports suggesting that the community is being targeted - with many civilians being killed.
We speak to a Syrian woman trying to contact her family from abroad and an expert helps us understand Syria's new government.
Also in the programme: the network outsmarting AI Chatbots to spread Russian propaganda; and we go to Greenland to judge the mood ahead of the upcoming elections at a time when US President Donald Trump has said he wants to take over the territory.
