Woe is Assad. Battling for his life while his wife is busy shopping for Gucci in Russia. Oh well, gold digger will always be gold digger.

The man came up on live television to make fun of your report. Why don't you check before publishing trash?

The PM, the vice president, the senior generals who have all defected have not suddenly developed a conscience they are just don't want to be on the losing side. They know Assad can keep fighting but eventually he is going to fall and when he does the people close to him are going to find themselves facing criminal trials under the new regime. Change sides before Assad falls and your one of the good guys.

Assad will be left to die by himself without any cronies to join in his soon to be spectacular death.
