โŒจMorning coverage focused on Syria's aftermath, with reports of discovered prisoners and ISIS concerns emerging. A US citizen was found wandering near Damascus after seven months in Assad's prisons, providing firsthand accounts of torture facilities.

By midday, NATO's leadership issued stark warnings about European unpreparedness for potential conflict with Russia, calling for an immediate shift to "wartime mindset." The announcement coincided with reports of Poland pushing migrants back to Belarus.

Evening coverage revealed details of Assad's abandoned Captagon drug production facilities, which had funded his regime.

Meanwhile, British health services reported a 70% surge in winter flu cases, while Labour faced criticism over proposed Green Belt housing reforms.
