Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in London.
I'm Tim Franks.
It's been another momentous day in Syria.
Two big signs of a new order being created, or at least attempts to create a new order.
The first came with the announcement of an interim prime minister.
The rebel leaders clearly tried to show that they're moving fast to set this upturned and long ruined country on some sort of stable new footing.
The second has been the destruction of Syria's navy, as well as other significant strikes and ground incursions into Syrian territory by the Israeli military.
We'll have more on that in about 10 minutes or so.
Meanwhile, the United States has set out conditions for giving full recognition to Syria's next government.
At a briefing in Washington, the State Department spokesman Matthew Miller outlined the sort of things that the US would want to see before recognizing any transitional government.
The United States fully supports a Syrian led and Syrian owned political transition that leads to credible, inclusive and non sectarian governance.
He has also outlined several principles that we believe should be upheld during the transition process and formation of a new respect for the rights of minorities Facilitation of humanitarian assistance, the prevention of Syria from being used as a base for terrorism or posing as a threat to its neighbours Securing and safely destroying any chemical weapons stockpiles.
Well, let's begin our reporting from Syria with our international editor, Jeremy Byrne, who's travelled to Damascus after crossing Syria's border with Lebanon.
Syrians, desperate to get home, are packing the Lebanese side of the border, waiting for their papers to be inspected so they can cross into a country some have not seen for more than a decade.
But on the Syrian side, the crowds are just as big, traveling in the opposite direction, desperate to get out.
