Bashar al Assad's 24-year dictatorship collapsed over the weekend as rebel forces took control of the Syrian capital Damascus.

Assad and his family have reportedly fled to Moscow under the protection of his long-term ally President Vladimir Putin, ending a 13-year civil war that's believed to have killed over 350,000 people.

Sky's defence analyst Professor Michael Clarke joins host Niall Paterson to explain how a mild-mannered doctor became a dictator, and how a rebel force swept him and his Russian-backed army away in less than a week.
