Bashar al-Assad and Jeremy Bowen
When Jeremy Bowen interviewed Bashar al-Assad it split the audience – some thought it was great journalism and others were appalled. Jeremy Bowen is on Over to You to respond.
Jeremy Bowen's interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on World News was one of the most talked about inteviews around the world. Some of the audience thought it was brilliant journalism, others were appalled by President Assad's presence on the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú and called it a 'platform' for him. Rajan Datar puts both sides of opinion to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen, who speaks to him from Beirut.
