Bashar al-Assad’s regime has fallen in Syria, and the president’s whereabouts are uncertain. In Ukraine the war continues, on the way to another sad Christmas marked by conflict. Listen here to Nuno Rogeiro’s analysis on East/West of SIC Notícias

In Europe, the great Romanian mystery is installed, with the Constitutional Court annulling the first round of the presidential elections, won by a pro-Russian candidate. In France, the reconstruction of Notre Dame brought together several political leaders in Paris, with a special focus on the meeting between Zelensky and Trump, mediated by Macron. The war continues in Kharkiv, but the city has offered some hope to children who spend their lives in underground schools.
