Increasing Tensions in Aleppo

The extent of atrocities in Aleppo is increasing -- Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and his allies have forced advances on the rebel-held eastern part of the city. This has led thousands of civilians fleeing deeper into rebel areas, or to Western Aleppo, known as a Pro-Assad area.

BFM speaks to Scott Lucas, Professor of International Politics at Birmingham University for a look at the increasing tensions in Aleppo, Syria.

This is a report by Lyn Mak and Wan Irdina.
