well, clive, the parliament was a rubber stamp for the assad regime, whose members use to compete to deigned to appear in their chamber. the constitution, clearly, was no good at all in terms of protecting any syrians, so potentially that could be a good move, to rebuild something new. the question is what they put in its place. now, hts, the militia that overthrew the regime, is an islamist group that broke from al-qaeda in 2016, so clearly people are wondering whether that change, that conversion, was genuine. here in damascus, people have been going around to the minority religious groups, christians and so on, and saying to them, reassuring them that there will be religious freedom, that people will be able to dress the way that they want, but there have been reports on social media that in homs, a couple of hours drive from here, femalejudges have been told to wear head scarves in court, and if they are resisting i am told that the moment. so the thing is as well that there are troublesome neighbours from the syrian point of view who like to interfere in this country, israel and

thanks, clive.araa has a long history as a jihadist fighter and in fact as a senior leader going back to the insurgency against the americans in iraq 20 years ago. so he has form. he says he has changed, breaking with al-qaeda in 2016, and he presents his organisation is an islamist group, but nationalist and tolerant of serial�*s other faiths. but as we have been hearing, people are sceptical about all of that. to talk to the bbc, he invited us to one of the symbols of the old the de facto leader of syria, ahmed al—sharaa, chose to do the interview in the presidential palace built by the assads. he told me he wasn't surprised that the old regime collapsed so quickly. syrians, he said, needed to keep calm to tackle all the problems they face. you've made a lot of promises, you've said you will respect the mosaic of different sectarian groups here in syria, minorities as well. are you going to keep those promises? translation: the syrian . population has lived together for thousands of years. we're g

election night, july 4th, that was transformed into downing street for my colleagues laura kuenssberg and clive—important exit poll. big ben chimes. and, as big ben strikes 10, the exit poll is predicting a labour landslide. blimey, just take a look and take in those numbers! applause. teams of volunteers, the length and breadth of the country raced to count ballots. singing sweet caroline. the lib dems were delighted with their results, but from the conservatives... thank you very much - to everybody and goodnight. and from labour... we did it! cheering. the aftermath of georgia's election wasn't peaceful. the party georgian dream has governed there for the last 12 years, moving the country away from the european union and closer to russia. despite being accused of fraud by the opposition, the ruling party claimed victory in the autumn election. that's when the government said it was suspending talks onjoining the eu and people headed out onto the streets. 0ver there, the riot police started moving in. they're slowly marching towards the protesters. riot police are in several areas, so they're

i mean, it feels really as if clive myrie has been the de facto, the default, replacement following huw'snation. and talks have been under way for some time, which doesn't necessarily — around 18 months or so, i understand, potentially with tim davie, the bbc director general, involved as well, which doesn't necessarily bode well insofar as them being able to find a place for mishal, which has, you know, upset some staff because i think she is very, very highly regarded within the corporation. and, you know, i've had lots of messages this afternoon from people within the bbc who consider her departure to be quite a loss. you know... who do they... alex, i'm interested. who do they blame for that loss? well, you know, ithink there is a sense... you know, they would have liked greater effort to have been put in to attempting to keep mishal to stay. now, we don't know the kinds of offers that were made, and what was put on the table for her. ultimately, she obviously decided that whatever was being offered wasn't quite right for her. there is the issue after such a prominent show as the toda

"deadline: white house" starts right now. ♪♪ >>> hi, everyone. it is 4:00 in new york. we come on the air with the breaking news. christopher wray has announced his resignation. he made the announcement at an all hands meeting hours ago saying he will leave when the biden administration comes to an end, saying this, after weeks of careful thought, i've decided the right thing for the bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in january and then step down. my goal is to keep the focus on our mission, the indispensable work you are doing on behalf of the american people every day. in my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work. it remains to be seen whether the fbi can even attempt to avoid being dragged deeper into the fray, as wray seems to be suggesting or whether his resignation will plunge deeper into uncertainty leaving the workfo
