International pressure is mounting on Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Last weekend, the Arab League suspended Syria’s membership. Yesterday, Jordan’s King Abdullah called for Assad to step down.

We discuss the latest events in Syria with Yaser Tabbara, author of the blog Damascene Thoughts. Also, we have the conclusion of the BBC documentary After the Dictators, which explores what happens to societies after dictators leave power.
