Ideas for 22 September 2013 - Syria in Focus

Ideas dedicates this hour to the unfolding tragedy in Syria and attempts to give some context to this complex conflict: Professor William Harris - the author of four books on the Middle East - talks about the history and politics of Syria; freelance journalist Glen Johnson reflects on his recent visits into rebel controlled in the north of the country; and Wellington resident, and Aleppo native, musican Michel Alkhouri tells us about life in pre-civil war Syria.
