How is Syria coping with the dual challenges of war and pandemic?
Syria is still mired in civil war. The country reported its first coronavirus case last week and has already begun reporting deaths from the pandemic.

Brian and John speak with Ambassador Peter Ford, the former UK Ambassador to Syria.
