Today's Highlighted Video Story:  Syrian opposition fighters have announced on state television that the rule of President Bashar al-Assad has come to an end after 13 years of civil war. It came just hours after fighters entered the capital Damascus, took the city's airport and the state TV building. The opposition says Assad has now fled the capital. Bashar al-Assad and his family have been in power in Syria since the early 1970s. Bashar took power in 2000 after the death of his father Hafez.
