Life is returning to normal in Syria in a way that hasn’t been possible in more than 50 years. Syrians lined up at the Turkish border on Wednesday to head home after rebels ousted President Bashar al-Assad, speaking of their expectations for a better life. Syria's new interim prime minister said he aimed to bring back millions of Syrian refugees, protect all citizens and provide basic services, but rebuilding would be difficult because the country lacked foreign currency. Reports say Israeli warplanes have pounded Syria and that Israeli troops have advanced deeper into the country. We’ll speak with James Gelvin, a professor of history at UCLA.
