I'm Alex Ritson and in the early hours of Tuesday 17th December, these are our main stories.
We report from the Syrian port city of Latakia,
where the rebels who are now the de facto rulers are providing law and order.
Germany's embattled Chancellor Olaf Scholz loses a vote of confidence in Parliament,
triggering the early elections he wants.
France's President Macron will fly to Mayotte to oversee the relief operation after Cyclone Chido.
Also in this podcast, the businessman and close confidant of Prince Andrew,
who's accused of spying for China, has been named.
And hundreds of new species have been discovered in in the Mekong region in Southeast Asia.
Every time we look, every time we take the time and patience to peer under a rock,
look behind a tree and so on, we find new things.
And to me, that's part of the excitement, that's part of the joy of living on this planet.
