Thousands hanged in Syria prison

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Amnesty report says government is behind the execution of thousands at a Syrian jail - we talk to a former detainee. We report from Diane Abbott's Hackney and Stoke Newington constituency on which way Labour should vote on triggering Article 50. And could a six-hour day be the future? We report from Sweden where they've tested the idea. (Picture - the military-run Saydnaya prison, one of Syria"s largest detention centres. Credit: AFP PHOTO / Amnesty International).
