Syria's de-facto leader Ahmad al-Sharaa was declared the country's transitional president on Wednesday. Yesterday, he addressed Syrians directly and called for justice and elections, following a transitional period. The country's constitution and the Baath Party, which previously dominated politically, were also dissolved. Host Carol Hills speaks with Syrian historian Sami Moubayed, about what this will mean for Syria as it enters this new phase.
