Tonight at seven on 4: a heart-stopping insight into the war in Syria, with the desperate struggle to save babies in a maternity hospital as it's repeatedly bombed.
It's an extraordinary story that is but a microcosm of this continuing conflict - as Assad's forces close in on the last rebel stronghold in the country.
We begin a series of programmes live from the Syrian border at Antakya, Turkey, just across from the last rebel stronghold of Idlib, where the military advance by President Assad's forces and his Russian allies is creating a humanitarian crisis.
The border here is closed to the vast majority - so hundreds of thousands of people are trapped inside Syria.
Syria and Russia deny deliberately targeting hospitals - that would be a war crime. And yet they are being hit. The UN is meeting in an emergency session tonight. Watch at seven on 4.
