Summary

• A special crossover with The Bunker’s geopolitics partner podcast This Is Not A Drill. Assad’s stunning fall ends a tyrannical 53-year rule in Syria, leaving monstrous crimes against human rights exposed, rocking both Iran and Russia on their heels, and handing the country’s future back to its people. Where next for Syria? Will the rebel fighters coalesce into a working government and avoid the factionalism which would jeopardise the Syrian people’s hopes? And what does it mean for an international community which had turned its back on the Syrian war? This Is Not A Drill regular Emma Beals explores an awe-inspiring week in the Middle East with Syria expert and open-source investigator Suhail al-Ghazi. • No longer on Twitter?

0:00.0	Hello, it's Ros Taylor here.
0:02.4	Today's edition of The Bunker is sponsored by Give Well, the non-profit organization that helps you make the most impact when you're giving to charity.
0:10.9	Lots of us give to charity, especially at this time of year, but even with the best intentions, you might wonder if your donations are being used as well as they could be.
0:22.1	The founders of Give Well were thinking the same back in 2007. When they asked for background on some of the charities they
0:27.7	were interested in, all they got back was feel good stories and pictures, very little concrete
0:33.0	information. So they created Give Well, a unique resource that pours over independent studies and
0:39.3	charity data to help you direct your donations to organisations that are making a real difference.
0:45.7	That means they've been able to find low-cost but high-impact things you can support,
0:50.5	like simple $2 vitamin A supplements that decrease infant mortality, or $7 malaria shots for children,
0:57.7	all of which makes every pound you give go further. Over 100,000 donors worldwide have used
1:04.4	Give Well to donate more than $2 billion in the past 17 years, and rigorous evidence indicates this will save over 200,000 lives
1:13.6	and improve the lives of millions more. Give Well wants as many donors as possible to make informed
1:21.0	decisions about high impact giving. You can find all of their research and recommendations on their
1:26.8	site for free.
1:28.7	To find out more or make a donation, go to givewell.org slash UK.
1:33.4	You can make tax deductible donations to their recommended funds or charities, and Givewell
1:39.1	doesn't take a cut. Givewell UK can claim gift aid for eligible donations too. That's givewell.org
1:47.0	to donate or find out more. This episode is brought to you by Shopify. Looking to start a
