The Syrian army says dozens of its soldiers have been killed in the rebel offensive against President Assad's forces, which has captured the second city of Aleppo. Also in the programme: anti-government protests have continued for a third night in Georgia, despite efforts by riot police to clear the streets of the capital; and in Romania polling has opened where a parliamentary election has been overshadowed by the disputed result of the presidential election a week ago.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by The Guardian's senior international correspondent Julian Borger and Ulrike Franke, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
