What's next in Aleppo?
The Syrian army is slowly advancing to claim full control of Aleppo from rebel forces. What does this mean for civilians caught in the civil war? Senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, joins CBSN with insight about what Aleppo could look like under the Assad regime.
Syrian civilians in peril
The Assad regime is pushing to regain full control of Aleppo as rebels keep losing territory under relentless bombing. About 200,000 civilians are trapped. Debora Patta reports from Aleppo.
Families torn by Syrian war
Syrian government troops are pushing deeper into rebel-held parts in Aleppo. Regime forces now control more than 70 percent of Syria's largest city. Reports from inside Syria Wednesday indicate some rebel groups are calling for a truce. The battle has left hundreds of Aleppo residents dead and tens of thousands of families have fled.
