Our correspondent Jim Muir talks us through the turmoil in Syria and explains how news is making it out of the sealed country.

In our second hour news breaks of deaths in rural America during severe storms and we hear from Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma.
