Nov. 4 - Russian Intervention In Syria Prompts Surge In Support For Assad Government

Journalist and author Charles Glass has been covering the Middle East for more than 40 years, and has made regular visits to war-torn Syria since civil war broke out there four-and-a-half years ago.  His most recent visit, made during August, showed the balance of power shifting away from the government of President Bashar al-Assad, towards opposition militias.  Since his return to the US, Glass told KSFR's Dave Marash on HERE & THERE, the Russian escalation of its intervention in Syria has tipped things the government's way.
