About this episode
Russia has been aiding the Syrian air force to carry out intensive airstrikes in Idlib and Hama provinces. The strikes come after rebel forces in the north of the country launched their rapid offensive, taking the city of Aleppo, earlier this week. We speak to a member of the volunteer civil defence group, known as the White Helmets, who are scrambling to respond to the bombings.Also in the programme: Huge protests continue in Georgia despite the prime minister appearing to row back on his unpopular pledge to suspend EU accession efforts; and Belgium becomes the first country to give legally enforceable labour rights to sex workers.(Picture: White Helmets members work at the scene of what the organisation says is a strike in Idlib.
