This week, Syrians have been celebrating the first anniversary of the fall of the Assad regime and the end of almost 14 years of civil war. In the year since, the former jihadist turned leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has been on an international charm offensive. But has life improved for ordinary Syrians back home? And has Sharaa proven himself to be the reformer the west wants him to be?

Today we’re joined from Damascus by the BBC’s international editor, Jeremy Bowen.

Producer: Sam Chantarasak

Executive producer: James Shield

Senior news editor: China Collins

Mix: Travis Evans
