as long as we could see these reciprocal evacuations continuing to take place, eastern aleppo evacuations should run smoothly also. genie: it has -- genie: it has been a week since the area was taken back from the rebels. the reality of the victory for the syrian regime is settling. what does this mean for the rest of syria and the rest of this war? is there any chance opposition fighters could still win the war? adam: the battle of aleppo is effectively over for at least a week. they are saying we should maybe not consider it completely over until the 40,000 people still in eastern aleppo who want to be evacuated, until they have been able to leave. as we have seen over the last few days, there is plenty to go wrong. but yes, the government forces are now in charge of the vast majority of that population of the country. the area of it lived, we have seen statements from the u.n. over the last week or so saying they are concerned aleppo mightle in just turn their attentions now to the west, trying to take back the it lit profits -- the idlib province. of the end ofck the aleppo war -- on

we heard from the mayor of eastern aleppo. a brave and courageous man who witnessed his city brought to rubble and his neighbours murdered and he had to one plea to get those who have survived through years of conflict, torture and fear to safety. we must do all we can to help. the council was unequivocal in its condemnation of president assad and his backers, russia and iran. who must bear the responsibility for the tragedy in aleppo. they must now allow the un to evacuate people of syria. we have seen progress in to evacuate people of syria. we have seen progress in recent days, but a few bus loads is not enough when there are thousands more that must be rescued, we cannot have these buses attacked in the way we have seen. buses attacked in the way we have seen. the foreign secretary summoned the russian and iranian ambassadors to make clear that we expect them to help. 0ver to make clear that we expect them to help. over the weekend the uk has been working with our international partners to secure agreement on a un security

tens of thousands of people from eastern aleppo. that process was going on. and in my theory, the attack may be to undermine turkish/russian convergence because turkey/russia relationship collapsed, the deal would fall apart and there would be no evacuation of civilians and what would happen, you would see even more killing of the city's civilians, as well as its sunni muslim inhabitants. what does that suggest for the jihadists? sick as it sounds, i think the jihadists actually like to see suffering and killing of sunni muslims continue. because al qaeda and other groups in isis, they see themselves as avengers of sunni islam and they're there to defend them and they need to see suffering so they can go and recruit. so perhaps they're the groups that want to undermine turkish/russia relationship. but i think turkey will probably not overreact. it has a lot of what it wants from syria in turkey. including turkish green light for the fall aleppo. my sense is that the russian leadership will not overreact to the assassination in turkey runs a thorough investiga
