President Assad reported to have fled Syria after rebels enter Damascus

Rebels claim they have seized most of the south as their lightning offensive threatens to end Bashar al Assads' 24-year rule, as two army officials have said the Syrian president has left Damascus.
Thousands of Syrian government troops have reportedly fled as rebel forces claim they have not encountered resistance by government forces while entering the countrys capital. Iran and Russia are possible destinations for the Syrian leader.
As the lightning rebel offensive appears to reach its endgame, two images may last long in the mind.
The assault this weekend has focused on the capital Damascus and the key western city of Homs.
It was clear their progress was rapid when protesters brought down a statue of Bashar al Assads late father in a suburb a few miles from the centre of Damascus on Saturday
In Homs, where rebels say they have taken full control, crowds appear to have toppled another statue - again of his father Hafez al Assad - in scenes shared on social media.

WHO IS THE BRITISH-BORN WIFE OF SYRIAS PRESIDENT?
Asma Assad, 36, (pictured) grew up in Acton, West London where she was known as Emma
She is the daughter of consultant cardiologist Fawaz Akhras and retired diplomat Sahar Otri, both Sunni Muslims, who moved from Syria to London in the Fifties so that her father, who is now based at the Cromwell Hospital and in Harley Street, could get the best possible education and medical training.
Asma, who holds dual citizenship, British and Syrian, was educated at a Church of England school in Ealing before attending a private girls? day school - Queen?s College, Harley Street.
From Queen?s, where she achieved four A-levels, Asma went to King?s College London to read Computer Science and take a diploma in French Literature.
She graduated with a First and, after six months of travelling, joined Deutsche Bank as an analyst in hedge-fund management.
She then moved to the investment bank JP Morgan and worked in Paris and New York, as well as London. On family holidays back in Syria, she met Bashar.
Then he, too, came to London to study ophthalmology, though he had to leave early to return to Syria after his elder brother Basil, who had been the heir, died in a car crash.
Asma started seeing him in secret, resigning from JP Morgan just a month before the wedding without being able to explain the real reason. With her father, she has set up several London-based charities such as the Syria Heritage.
Vogue has described her as ?the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies? and has topped French Elles ?most stylish woman in politics? list.
Asma speaks four languages and her connections with France have led her to persuade the Louvre to help her open Syrian cultural attractions.
